*****5 "I love you enough to put you on the back of my bike and keep you there for good." Stars*****

Okay. Just. Wow. What a wild ride! I have to say that from book 1, Kick, to this book, the author's writing style grew by leaps and bounds. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, gripping my Kindle, and more than once whispering, "nooooo...!"

"I want her submission. I want her heart. I want her to look at me and not wish I were someone else. More than anything though, I want to rid her of the belief that to love is to hurt to feel pleasure is to hurt."

Tank - a.k.a. Death, a.k.a. Jonah Whitecross, he's not your typical biker that you read about in most MC books. Even though he's a killer, and has no qualms about it. He can be demanding, overbearing, a complete "arsehole" at times... but he can also be gentle, caring, and loving, much to Ivy's surprise and dismay.

Ivy - club whore, junkie, lost girl... victim. And she wants nothing to do with that caring and loving side of Tank. Ivy needs to be abused to "feel"... well anything. She doesn't do "pleasure".

Tank is going to try and show her just how wrong she is on that front. And he does it damn well, too!

Tank has been in love with Ivy since he first met her, but Ivy's not in love with Tank, far from it, and to make matter's worse, he's taken her to his cabin and "held her prisoner"... her words, not his. He's taken her away from the club, away from Kick, and away from any way to get her drugs. He wants to help her get clean and she doesn't want any part of Tank's help.

But she's going to get it, whether she likes it or not!

4 *Sociopathic* Stars

Oh. This. Book. This deliciously twisted, mind-twisting-bending-fucking-blowing book!

I have to admit, in the beginning, I was a little skeptical that this book would fly for me. I wanted dark, but what I seemed to be getting was a lot of (what I thought was) unnecessary world building.

And then...

This book took off like a rocket and went right through the stratosphere, and all I could do was grip my Kindle and hang on for the ride.


Knox
- what a twisted up sociopathic walking package of man candy he is.

"It entertains me to watch you think I care what you want, that I actualy care anything about you at all. It amuses me to manipulated your emotions, to see how much I can give you before I rip it all away again."

With one hand, Knox giveth... but it's with *both* hands, and whatever happens to be in his hands, that he taketh away.

Knox is a hit man for his adoptive father, Yuri, and he enjoys nothing more than carrying out the "exterminations" that Yuri needs from him. Slowly killing each mark in the most horrific way. Each done the same, slowly and methodically, with the lullaby humming through his lips.


Lacey
- Eighteen year old, high school, prostitute, in denial.

"He delights in tormenting me, but I now bask in that torment, I crave his brutality more than I crave the gasping breath I take in to fill my lungs."

Lacey relizes how sick and twisted Knox is, but even though he tells her she has a choice, she doesn't really, she's made a deal with the devil, and there is no backing out now.

Just when she thinks things can't get worse, she finds that they can. Very much so.


Katia
almost as twisted as Knox. But. Not. Quite.

"...it's the Christian thing to do. That's who I am. That's what I've based my public image on. My faith and my humanitarianism have made it possible for the public to love me, to trust me, to see nothing else but what i choose to show them."

Oooooh... I don't like this chick! She's around just enough in the book to mess with your head. The secrets she has, from everyone, including her father, make her the worst kind of sociopath.. the kind that are hiding right in front of your face.

I ended up loving this book, the dark turn it takes and keeps going straight into the deepest, darkest, most sinful kind of dark. This author really "brings it", and I SOOOO can't wait for the next book!

Review: Roman's Redemption

Roman's Redemption by Kimber S. Dawn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Writing: ★★★★
Story: ★★★★★
Characters: ★★★★-1/2

Overall rating: 4.5

4.5 *Obliterated* Stars

Obliterated. That's how my heart felt after finishing this book. Ms. Dawn, give me Part 3 of this story, *now*... *timid sounding, "please."*



Roman's Redemption is anything but as this story unfolds. His precious "Mouse" is gone, by his own hands no less. The one thing, the one person, that finally made him feel, is gone, and because she's gone, it's too late for Roman to realize that he had actually developed a soul, learned how to love, how to feel, how to want and need something so desperately that you're unwilling to lose it.

But it's too late. Mouse is gone and he can't tell her that it's because of her that he found that he *could* be a good man, that he *could* love someone besides himself.

After a massive... and I do mean, *MASSIVE*, killing spree he finds that there may be one person who can still save him. Mouse is gone, but their daughter, Winter Ivy remains. Being raised by the woman that raised him, Delores, and the woman that is taking care of her while while Roman trots around the globe killing woman after woman, he comes home only to find that Delores has a family emergency and must leave for a time to take care of things, leaving him to care for Ivy himself.

He's quite sure that this isn't something he wants, or can, do... until little Ivy walks in on him. She is his little "Mini Mouse", and he throws all of himself into caring for her. Together they make it work, opening up the channel between daddy and daughter. To help him heal.

I loved this second book. To find that The Devil had a heart. To watch it melt when he had to take care of his precious Ivy. Watch him grow a soul as he watched her grow. His Ivy.

But bad things are coming, and the Devil's soul is in jeopardy as are the lives of the ones that put it there. Nothing, and I do mean *nothing* is as it seems!

This book is dark and twisted and will leave you falling from happy heights to sad despair hitting every rung on the way down.

Oh and...



And that's all I'm going to say about that!

I loved it and I want more of it!
