 It's very difficult for me to portray the greatness of this book in a review. I don't feel like I can do it justice. I finished it late last night, or more accurately very early this morning. Once I started it I had a very difficult time putting it down. The only thing stopping me from devouring it in one sitting was the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Those that know me understand that nothing ever comes between me and my hockey fix. It's only been a few hours since I finished the book and I already want to do a re-read. Sheehan's ability to transport her readers into a world full of angst, terror, trauma, healing, forgiveness and unconditional love just absolutely leaves me breathless. 
 From the ending of book one, it seemed clear to me the direction that book two was headed, or so I thought. I was wrong, and I'm so glad I was. We get to actually step back and not only share the jarring road with Ripper and Danny as they make their incredible journey searching for a life together, but we are taken back to witness how difficult it was for Deuce and Eva to recover and move on from all they encountered in their book. I love that she let us experience this. It would have been easy to skim over their healing and move right onto Ripper and Danny, but Sheehan gifted her readers with the insight to see how difficult it was for Deuce to come to terms with what went down and how strong Eva was for sticking by him until he got his shit figured out. 
 Now let's discuss Danny and Ripper. Holy hell, they are igniting together. An unlikely couple with an unlikely future, but they say love conquers all and in their case it sure does. With that being said, it wasn't immediate. They had to walk through the gates of hell and fight an internal war with the devil himself to be able to claim it, but in my opinion it just solidifies their relationship. Danny makes Ripper feel whole again. She gives him hope for a brighter future. She helps him heal and move on from the dark desolate place he is stuck in since his ordeal with Frankie. Ripper makes Danny feel needed and loved. She has felt alone for so long and has taken a back seat world to the club her whole life. Ripper opens her heart and gives her hope for a brighter future. However, when Ripper's past comes knocking on the cabin door, Danny is forced to take care of things in a violent way. 
 Ripper knows he can't drag her into his ugly life. She deserves better than what he can offer her. The decision is made, the cards are dealt, and he is determined to do the right and noble thing. The only problem is, the right thing for him is not the right thing for her. This ultimately opens her world to a different layer of hell. 
 It amazes me the flawless ability Sheehan has to pull the emotion off the pages and bury them in your heart. She has a very distinct talent that can't be duplicated. Many authors strive for this, but few rarely excel at it. She truly is in a class of her own. She captures the honest and sometimes ugly raw side of this unique lifestyle and lets you become a part of it. You candidly get to share this cold secret world with her characters. There is a lot of suffering, a lot of pain and immense heartbreak. There is also humor, unbridled steamy hot sex, healing, forgiveness and a lot of love. It's all tangled together with just the right balance to leave readers satisfied and craving more. No doubt this MC club has seen their fair share of shit, but they have persevered through it and I think they have all come through stronger. There are still a lot of unresolved issues with some big players, and I can't wait to see where she takes their stories. I read that Cage's story is up next. Oh baby is that going to be a bumpy ride with a wide open throttle...
