Publisher's summary

Winter -- My life hasn’t been easy. For so long, my sister has been the only one I could rely on. When we were teenagers our father sold us to sexual predators who hurt us. We both have the scars to prove it. But we were rescued, and I got revenge for both of us. That was over a decade ago. I love the home we found with Black Reign, but now it’s time to move on. To live outside the cocoon the club wrapped us in. Another club who’s found a girl in a situation similar to the hell we left behind all those years ago may be our answer. One man in particular calls to me on a primitive level. His name is Roman. And I want him for my own.

Roman -- I’m the enforcer for Iron Tzars. Violence is in the job description. Never thought I’d find myself attracted to a woman as fragile as Winter. She and her sister have been through a lot, but there’s a core of iron in her. She’s stronger than she looks, and the fight in her stirs the primitive Alpha male inside me. It’s time I show her she’s more than the sum of her scars. She’s a friggin’ goddess.

Daily Treat

I love Winter's tenacity. She is undoubtedly fierce, at least on the outside. On the inside, she's a wreck, and I like how insightful Roman is in recognizing it, and while he's protective I love that he lets her find her way in her new home.

Unlike most other women that are claimed by the MCs, Winter (and her sister) is in her 30s instead of barely legal. I like that fact a lot. She sometimes has the emotional maturity of a woman in her late teens, early 20s, but it's endearing and not surprising given her history.

Iris, from book 1, "Sting,' does an awesome job of injecting herself into Club life. It's hilarious when she makes it clear as to what's expected when it comes to how her and the other women will be treated.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator, Umi Markkanen, is really enjoyable to listen to as always.

Seeing through the scars.

Winter and Roman both have things in their past that they have to deal with. Winter and her twin sister were betrayed in the worse way by the people they should have been loved by and trusted the most, their parents. Winter is tired of being seen as a victims and wants a fresh start for them both so she decided to be brave. I love how Roman was fiercely loyal, protective and loving to Winter even before he realizes what she means to him. This audio was a great quick listen and I can't wait to start the next one!

Love it

Roman and Winter are an unusual match, but so perfect. Winter has been through a lot and Roman doesn't know how to handle that at first, but it is great to see them come together. The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life and I look forward to listening to more in this series.

Winter and Roman

Another excellent story by Marteeka. I have come to really enjoy her writing. The characters are relatable. I can identify with Roman and Winter, as if they were real people. The MC characters are always tough as nail, but have an inner kindness not seen in most people. The narration was well done. A pleasure to listen to. I received a free copy of this audiobook, and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Loved it!

It was another great one! I can’t wait for the next one to come out in audio!

being different

This audiobook was about two women that stowed away in the back of a motorcycles club's van. The two women had been emotionally, physically and sexually abused. They were just trying to find some place to start from new. One of them falls for the Sargeant of Arms and the other for the VP. It goes on to tell their stories good or bad from there.

Patience, love, understanding.

This is a short 3 1/2 hour listen. Filled with sweet sexy goodness. Roman is smitten. Winter had been abused. Patience. Understanding. Love. Ahem!

The narrator is excellent. Even her male voices are spot on. She brings love and understanding to this story. 5 stars for her as well.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from Story Origin.

Saved

Winter and her sister suffered traumatic pasts of childhood abuse. Their inability to trust is warranted. Roman is taken immediately with Winter. For the first time in her life she gets to enjoy a man's touch. Can she accept what Roman offers? Read to find out Umi Markkenan voices this book well.

Good story but short

I very much liked the story and the narration I just wish the story was long and I got more details. This book could be amazing if it was longer. It was great bring so short but it leaves you wanting more and being disappointed. Like when you read a great book and your sad its over.
