Publisher's summary

Take the ride of your life with the Torpedo Ink motorcycle club in this thrilling romance novel from number-one New York Times best-selling author Christine Feehan.

Torpedo Ink is Aleksei “Absinthe” Solokov’s whole life. They’re his brothers, his family - his everything. But that doesn't stop him from wanting something that only belongs to him. That’s why the tough biker has spent the last six weeks at the library, reading every book he can get his hands on and watching the prim and proper librarian who makes his blood rush.

For the past six weeks, Scarlet Foley has been fantasizing about the handsome, tattooed man whose eyes follow her every move. She senses he's dangerous. She wants him to get close enough to touch. She wishes she could let him know the real woman, not the one she pretends to be. But Scarlet has a plan to carry out, and she can’t afford any distractions.

Absinthe is well aware that Scarlet is hiding something. She’s a puzzle he intends to solve, piece by intoxicating piece....

Heavy Romance

Another winner from Christine! Just a little heavy on the "romance" for me but still very good.

Love this super hot and edgy series

These are such well written characters that break your heart at what they’ve endured. I loved Scarlett’s ability to overcome & learn to fight as well as the MC group. I can’t wait for more of the group’s stories. I really enjoy the erotic sex between the couple and I like D/s stories but I don’t care for the “pet” versions, to me that’s a turn-off, hence the reason for the 4 instead of 5.

Okay

Didn't care for kitten, far outside my tastes. Glad she got justice in the end.

Good story, poor Russian

I love the Torpedo ink series, and this has been a bit of an interesting turn from the previous books. My biggest issue with his performance is the butchering of the Russian language. As a native speaker, at times it was almost impossible to figure out what was supposed to be said.

Mixed feelings

I have been reading Feehan’s books for many years, starting with the Dark series. I have read all of the Drake Sisters and Sisters of the Heart stories, and I really like the way that their characters have been incorporated with the Torpedo Ink characters and storylines. It makes the reader feel like they are staying in touch with familiar characters, while getting to know new ones. I think the back story of the characters’ childhood in the Russian training school gives them depth of personality and motivation for their action/reactions, but I think that to reiterate the descriptions of the same experiences over and over throughout each book is unnecessary. No need to beat a dead horse. The same with the sex scenes. I enjoy a good, well written sex scene, but it starts to feel redundant after several scenes using almost the exact same wording and descriptions. I really have enjoyed the plot of each book and find myself wishing Feehan would spend more time developing the plot throughout the book and from book to book, as opposed to wasting so much time on the sex scenes. Again, not that I don’t love it when a writer incorporates a well written sex scenes in strategic places in the story line, but there comes a point it becomes gratuitous. So as far as the plot and characters are concerned, I have really enjoyed the series and can’t wait for the next release, but there are some aspects I have struggled to get through as I listened to the audiobook. I am also a fan of the narrator, Jim Frangione, from listening to him narrate J.R. Ward’s books. I am very glad he was chosen to read this series.

WOW!

This book gives the most insight into the Torpedo Ink's background, schools, and talents. I love that Christine has explored all the kinks, torture, and relationship minefields in order to tell their story. Each story is done with grace, compassion and thoroughness that the reader feels compelled to join in their journey. Well done, Christine!

I love all the Road books

So far this one is my favorite. The story of justice, love, redemption and sacrifice is one that speaks to me. Be prepared for the darkness of humanity and for the hope that love can bring to those who are lost in the darkness.
