I'm gonna start this review with this is the longest damn book I think I've ever read, and it's a bit misleading. This book is NOT a dark romance. I'm a lover of all things dark and taboo and this does not feed the need or even come close. It starts out with that feeling and got me all excited, and then all of a sudden the story is all over the place, talking about past experiences that have nothing to do with the story at all and thrown in at the strangest times during the book.

I'm a lover of all things dark and taboo and this does not feed the need or even come close. It starts out with that feeling and got me all excited, and then all of a sudden the story is all over the place, talking about past experiences that have nothing to do with the story at all and thrown in at the strangest times during the book. If it was important to tell Caden's past experiences in war to build his character, it could've been executed better and not in such a confusing, wordy way. And the time line really threw me for a loop and made me find the characters flakey because when you think weeks have passed and they are building this relationship, it finally states it's been three days. THREE DAYS! I just found it hard to believe all of that happened in such a short period of time. Weeks yes, days no.

I really liked all the characters in the beginning. They started out with a punch and you really felt like you knew them and what they had gone through and the kind of lifestyle they were living. Then the characters kind of just fell apart in the middle of this story that was being drug along by unneeded scenes and information. Every time I started liking them again, I'd sigh and flip more pages disliking them again until something happened to make me like them again.

I was hoping for this ragtag, mean ass biker group. They aren't. They remind me of the Weenie-hut version of Sons of Anarchy. Caden, who starts off as this dark and disturbed individual who I totally loved, quickly became a softy of mass proportions. His character was such a let down. Fracas was about the only character who I liked. Out of all the characters, hers stayed true all the way until the end, and I liked her a lot. She was the toughest out of the entire group, and that says a lot being surrounded by MC and ex military (or mob or whatever the hell he was).

What started out as deep story line quickly bled into this confusing mess and turned me off. I finished it because I was curious to see if it would get back to how it originally started and I'm OCD about finishing books. After this long drawn out story, the story came to an almost uneventful ending with an epilogue that should've just been the last chapter.
