If you ain’t living
on the edge, you’re taking up too much room.
The rose-colored
illusion of Madison Shellmound’s girlish crush on biker Ford Illuminati is
stomped into smithereens by his crude, perverse father Cropper, Bare Bones club
President. Fearing Ford will kill Cropper if he finds out, Madison flees town,
becoming an upstanding cardiology nurse.
Madison and Ford
have an ill-fated, star-crossed love that will last their lifetimes. Ford is a
lifer in a different sort of enterprise, the gritty full-throttle club of guns,
blood, and allegiance to his brothers.
Twelve years and
several tours of SEAL duty later, Ford is thrust back into Madison’s arms on
the worst day of his life. Madison’s prospect brother Speed has screwed up
big-time and owes the club his life. She offers herself to Cropper as a
sacrificial lamb to save Speed.
But how long until
the fiery, full-on outlaw Ford discovers that the woman he loves was treated
like a degraded slave by his own father? Well, meet the new boss. He’s not the
same as the old boss.
This is not your
mother’s romance. Readers will encounter molestation, drugging, consensual
bondage and discipline, violence, and a HEA. It’s a full-length novel of 65,000
words. Recommended 18+ due to content.
We fucked a lot in the next two days. Twelve years I’d been craving that
fat, juicy cock inside of me, and now I couldn’t get enough of it. Ford
Illuminati was hung like a racehorse and he knew how to use it, too. My hands
were all over that. I had thought I was attracted to Jake but that paled in
comparison to the intensity with which I wanted to devour Ford.
Riding one up behind him like in the old high school days, there was a
world of difference now. We were free of all restraints for that glorious
forty-eight hours, and Ford took me to see a couple of the vortexes. We had
been on a tour of these several times when we were kids. This time no one
brought any weed, and I wanted to suck on that horse cock inside the middle of
a vortex.
We had been separated for so long it was like meeting a new man. The
thrill, the illicit excitement of canyon carving through the rusty layers of
sandstone, like red velvet cake tall on either side of us, it was all new to me
again. Now I could thrust my hand along Ford’s pec and toy with the little
barbell that pierced his nipple, proud of myself when my other hand felt his
cock stiffening. I knew he pretended this irritated him, and he’d reach around,
slap my ass, and shake it.
“You’re throwing me off-balance.”
“Your giant erection is throwing you off-balance.”
I wanted to amplify our energies, so we’d climb around awhile until we
felt the highest, most intense amplification of all, and that’s where we’d fuck
or give each other head. Ford had learned a lot of tricks in the past decade.
Lapping me into a mindless clusterfuck of an orgasm with his talented tongue
was apparently one of them. I was still amazed that he could do that.
I finally had to admit I’d never come with a man before. “Just, you
know, with a vibrator.” I didn’t want to mention the shower head in Cottonwood.
The horrific memory of that bathroom wall was probably the reason I couldn’t
come with another man.
Ford was humble. “Maybe no one ever tried properly.” He lay stretched
out on the sandstone, propped up on one forearm, looking like he was posing for
fucking GQ. I loved it when he wore his cut next to his bare skin, like now. I
loved to flick that damned infernal barbell that pierced his nipple with my
tongue. It never failed to make him hiss in air and clutch the back of my
skull. His new Apache tattoo was fascinating. He seemed to be embracing his
Native American heritage instead of shunning it, as most bikers would do.
He had replaced the grimy dog collar around my neck with a fur-lined
leather job that still had a D-ring where a leash could be attached. He had
gotten into some kink that was right up my alley. Right now we were having a
little picnic we’d brought, just wine and some salami and cheese and crackers,
but he’d left the short leash attached to my collar. It wasn’t safe to ride
with it for fear of pulling an Isadora Duncan, but he liked the submissive way
it made me look.
And act. “That’s not true though, Ford. It’s not polite to mention, but
plenty of men have tried.”
“Yeah.” He snorted. “Plenty of dickhead doctors.”
Was he referring to Jake? That subject hadn’t come up, so I ignored it.
There was plenty of time for strife later, I knew. There always was. “No, I
mean experienced guys, men who were willing to try for ten minutes or more. I
always wound up worrying that they were wearing out their tongue muscles. I’m
not kidding, Ford. It got to the point where I didn’t want anyone to even
bother trying. Then you come along and blow them all out of the water.”
“Literally.” I could tell he was proud by the shy way he looked down at
the cracker box. He shrugged innocently. “I don’t know what to say.”
“’Thank you’ is a good starter.”
“Thank you.”
4 stars
This is definitely NOT your Mom's reading material. It's also not for a lot of people. It's raw, gritty, down and dirty. All the reasons why I liked it. There was a good story line, and the characters were definitely interesting. A bit confusing at times, but interesting. Ford is an Ex Navy SEAL who is now VP of the MC he grew up in. Madison is the girl from his past, that shows up unexpectedly in his present. There are so many things that I could say about this book, but I believe it's better for you to read for yourself. There were a few things I could have done without and that confused me, but overall, I enjoyed the book from start to finish. I do enjoy reading MC books, and there were some things in this one that were just so different from all the others I've read, and the reality that I know of, that's what brought the rating down for me. I really enjoyed Ford and Madison together a lot, and I can't wait to read more in this series.
Thanks for the insightful review!
