Absolution was the third book in the Heaven's Rejects MC by Avelyn Paige.

Jude "Ratchet" Azzo was the cleanup guy in the Heaven's Rejects MC. He was strong, dominant and a force not to mess with. He was protective and loyal to his Brotherhood at all costs.

Erica "Ricca" Delmont was introduced to us as Dani's roommate in the first book, Heaven Sent. She had a rough upbringing and through a continuous string of poor decisions, her adult life wasn't much better....yet.

During the previous book, Angels and Ashes, Ricca was saved by the MC during a war with a rival MC. She had a connection with Ratchet immediately and he helped her through the months after her rescue. The book ended with Ricca leaving the clubhouse behind without a word.

Paige then built the storyline around Ricca's whereabouts and why she stayed away. It was told with a dual POV. And consistent with the series, Absolution had a dark theme; however, it wasn't as dark as the previous books. Paige did, however, keep us in suspense and added some delightful and unexpected twists at the end.

I was already a fan of Paige's writing style and it gets better with each new book. She built a suspenseful plot, but she also kept several stories running. It was confusing at times; however, it came full circle at the end to make sense. She also typically throws something near the end that is a segue to the next book in the series. Absolution was no different and I can't wait to read Lies and Illusions, focusing on VooDoo.

Firstly I want to say thank you to the author for writing such a great MC book. I went through a phase of reading a lot of MC reads and I think I got burnt out. Now after reading this I wanna read more MC books.

This is Rachet and Riccas story. These two are oh so good together. I was so hoping they’d get their happy ever after.

Like previous books by this author I found this to be well written with a brilliant storyline.
If your looking for a gripping read with plenty of twists and turns then I highly recommend this read.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Absolution is the third book in the Heaven's Rejects MC Series from Avelyn Paige. I read this book without having read the first books in this series.

Ricca can not outrun her past. A mistake she learned the hard way. Stripped of the last piece of her innocence in the middle of the Californian desert, I waited for death. Then Ratchet appeared. Her vengeful angel. He is everything she is not. Everything she wants. Everything she can never have.

Ratchet is determined to not let his past define him. Abandoned by his mother as a child, he would be dead if it were not for Jagger. He took him into the Heaven's Rejects and saved his life. Now he wants to save Ricca. The superficial cuts and bruises on her delicate skin, don't compare to the pain lurking in her heart. The pain he wants to save her from. Somehow, he will find a way to get through to her. Come hell or high water she will be his.

Oh my goodness I have to say there have probably never been two more perfect people written who belong together and Ricca and Ratchet. I am assuming if you have read the entire series you know who Ricca is. I however did not and only got that she came to where she is with Dani and that their friendship has been through a lot and now they barely tolerate each other. However Ricca was in a mess that nightmares are made of and Ratchet saved her and wants to make sure he is the one to keep on saving her and running off her demons for the rest of their life. I loved this story. I loved that it happens in a small town as I am from a small town but I loved most how much Ricca meant to Ratchet. There are some dark moments and there are also some twists and turns especially toward the end. I can not wait to read the next book in this series. This is MC book that everyone needs to read. You will be on your toes reading this one so be ready for that. There is a lot of stuff going on.

Oh Avelyn how I have missed you. I have been waiting ever so patiently for this book and I am thrilled to finally be able to get it. The wait was worth it and Avelyn has once again delivered an wonderful book. I truly think this book is the best one yet.

The story line while heartbreakingly sad is also one that will bring hope to many. Neither of these characters has had an easy life but Ricca has by far been dealt such an awful hand. Needless to say she has a ton of trauma to overcome and she has to learn to trust. She gets a call that is about to change her life and the path she was planning to go down. Will it be for the best? Will she be able to let others in? Will she be able to let others help her?

Ratchett saved Ricca and is determined not to just save her the one time but to help her with the road she was headed down. He wasn't able to save someone who was close to him and he is deteremined to do it this time. The fact that he wants her to be his is just another reason to do so. She is the light in his life and he will do anything to make sure that light is always present. Problem is he has to find her and convince her, never expecting to find what he does.

I highly recommend this book. It can be read as a standalone but as someone who has read the others I recommend those as well.

This is the third book in the Heaven’s Rejects MC series and although it could be read as a standalone I would suggest reading the series in order.

Rachet saved Ricca from a fate worse than hell and over time he became her constant, her safety. When they finally gave into their passion, Ricca misunderstands when Rachet is not there in the morning. When she receives some surprising news from back home, she takes off thinking there is nothing left for her at the MC. Fast forward six months and Rachet has tracked her down.

Ricca gives a good fight at holding Rachet back but she did annoy me with her reasoning. Rachet on the other hand was adept at reading his ‘siren’ and would not let her build up her walls again. I instantly took to Rachet but it took me a while to warm to Ricca. The storyline seemed a little slow to start and once the pair had come to an understanding the revelations of love seemed to come out of nowhere and seemed a little rushed in comparison to the beginning of the book. However this was one hot pairing and Rachet was a total alpha biker hottie.

The sub plot was engaging even though I didn’t get the father and his reasoning for his behaviour. There were some stretching of the imagination around Asher and how the authorities would release him so easily to a virtual stranger.

I liked it when they were back with the MC (as most of the book is away from the clubhouse) and it threw in a whole lot of coincidences and a huge curveball which I am sure will be delved into in the next book. Overall an enjoyable read and one hot alpha biker to fall for. Four stars.

5 Star Review Absolution (Heaven's Rejects MC #3) by Avelyn Paige

This was am emotional roller coaster of a story.

What can I say about Jude aka Ratchet and Ricca? Their story nearly broke me. She has had such a tragic past, surviving more that anyone should have to put up with.

Ratchet is determined to make Ricca his but he will have to climb almost insurmountable walls to achieve his objective. She cannot break free from her past, it keeps pulling her back in and she cannot see a way out.

Absolution is a powerful story of love, learning to trust and about believing in someone. A powerful, gritty story that grabbed my attention from the start. One click now and start your journey with the Heaven’s Rejects MC.

OMG, I just love this series. I was so excited to see another book being released in this series and then to top it off it was about Ratchet and Ricca.

Ricca had been through so much. I am not just talking about what happen with the Twisted Tribe but even farther back then that. As you are reading the story and finding about her childhood your heart will break. Yes, she had a lot of fear but she was truly strong as well.

There was so many favorite parts in the book but one of my favorite parts was when Ratchet has referred to Ricca as a tattered soul that understood him. He did not want to change her. He loved her for who she was and I so loved that about him. These two were so perfect for each other. Though Ricca might of had a hard time seeing this it was clear that Ratchet saw it well and clear.

I just loved Ratchet in this story. He was truly amazing. I can not imagine what it was like to feel like you had torn down some walls of the woman you love and feel like your relationship is going somewhere to find out she has disappeared. I know this had to be totally confusing to him.

In this book we get to get to know Ratchet and some about his pass and things that haunted him. I loved how he opened himself to Ricca. It was only fair considering the things Ratchet was learning about her.

There is something that Ricca finds out that has to be so surprising for her. I can not imagine the shock she must of felt. I love how she was going to meet this surprise head on and try to help the situation and make things better. Want to know what the surprise is. What makes her run back to Kentucky. Well you will have to read the book to find out. I will tell you this that it could help Ratchet lover her more or make him turn the other way and run.

I love Ratchet’s determination. He is one determined man and will do anything to protect what is his. I love that we get to see the love that the brotherhood has for each other. They have a code and they live by that code. They would die for one another.

There are a few surprises in this book and the surprises keep coming even to the very end of the book. As you get more into Ricca and Ratchet’s story you can not help but fall in love with each them even more. I love that even in the darkest times Ratchet is willing to go to bat for Ricca.

At the beginning of the book it had a dedication that I just loved. It said “This book is for anyone who has lived in the darkness and found a way back to the light. Hold on tight and never give up.” Wow, what powerful words.

This was truly a great story and glad I got a chance to read the book. I so can not wait to see what happens next.

My love of MC is coming back... this book was everything I love in an MC read, it was dark, gritty with fiercely loyal MC members who protect their club with everything they have and are! Nothing comes between a member and the club and that was true for Ratchet until Ricca came along! A broken young lady with a tragic past, Ratchet, also had a tough and tragic upbringing, but he was her saviour the one person who could get close enough to be the light in her darkness; together they could conquer anything.. that is if they could trust in each other and their love! Highly recommend this series to all lovers of darker MC books; I look forward to reading what Avelyn comes up with next for the Heaven's Rejects MC... I'm sure it's going to be a doozy!!

Hearing Ricca's perspective of events, as well as parts of her life, answers many questions from the previous books in this series. This new life pathway for Ricca is full of potholes but also real moments of joy.

Ricca discovers she has a responsibility she relishes in accepting if she is allowed. By running back to her hometown many past concepts and ideas about her are still felt deeply. Ratchet is not happy to learn Ricca has done a runner with no forwarding address or reason for her actions. Luckily for Ricca, Ratchet never gives up easily!

The story has a bit of everything in it from romance and hot intimacy to suspense and action. The humour running throughout the story is upbeat and really enjoyable. The last ten percent of the book is even more exciting and enlightening!

One of my favourite lines from the story belongs to Ratchet when he thinks...
'All I wanted was a chance to prove to her that even though my monsters still lingered, that they would play nice with hers.'

Ricca describing Ratchet...
'Much like a priceless gemstone, he is multi-faceted.'
This is spot on and descriptions like these make it easier for the reader to understand each character more fully.

This fast-paced story is super easy to read but I do advise you read the other three books first.

Absolution was a great 5 star read.

We finally have Ratchet and Ricca’s story. These two had one night together, Ratchet had finally broke down Ricca’s walls and got to her heart. The next morning he had to leave for club business and Ricca didn’t realize this. Heartbroken she ends up leaving the club house and Ratchet has been searching for her.

What do you do when the person that you care about the most leaves you behind?

We jump ahead six months. We learn about Ricca’s demons and why she went home. It was an emotional rollercoaster reading about her childhood I was in tears a few times. Can Ratchet find her and convince her to be with him?

All I wanted was a chance to prove to her that even though my monsters still lingered, that they would play nice with hers.

Ratchet was definitely an alpha male but yet also had a soft side to him. He also has a not so great history, something that he has in common with Ricca. I loved how protective he was and just how much the MC truly is there for each other.

There are several surprises and twists. Avelyn has once again pulled me in and I couldn’t stop reading until I was done. I loved the dual POV, it really helped you connect better with each of them The sex was off the charts hot. This one was not as dark as previous ones but I still loved it. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

Ricca learned the hard way that outrunning your past is pretty much impossible. In the middle of the California desert she waited for death until the vengeful Angel appeared. He was everything she couldn't have.
Ratchet would be dead if it wasn't for for Jagger. He was abandoned by his mother and taken into the Heaven's Rejects life. He wants to save her from the pain that's inside her heart. He will stop at nothing to get through to her. Even if it's the last thing he does.

If you have kept up with the previous books then you know Jude aka Ratchet is the clean up person for the MC. You also know the Erica aka Ricca was Dani’s roommate in the first book. When she was saved in the war in the second book you see an instant connection between the two. It was a beautiful connection. This book is told in a dual POV and happens to be told around Ricca’s whereabouts and why she has stayed away. You see Ricca didn't have a good childhood and well her adult life hasn't been easy either. This book had so many unexpected twist and turns that I couldn't put it down and I read it on the edge of my seat. I was a huge fan of Avelyn Paige’s to begin with and this book is one of my favorites. The characters are amazing. Even though the storyline was a bit dark I absolutely loved it. I like my books on the darker side not quite taboo but close. There was times in this book that a cursed Paige because I was so angry at a certain character. But it made the book that much more real to me. I highly recommend this book but start at the beginning you won't regret it trust me.

This novel was read and reviewed for My Timeout Book Blog by Melissa

Well its about time! I have been waiting to get more from Rachet and Ricca since the last novel. And just as I hoped this novel not only didn't disappoint it was so much more then what I hoped it would be. We meet both of Rachet and Ricca in the other two novels in this series ( you can read as a stand alone, but I think you will enjoy it so much more with the whole story), there is so much that went on you can not help to wonder just what has become of these two. Rachet saves Ricca from a very horrific situation in a pervious novel ( hence why I suggest you read the other novels). We don't have a lot of the backstory on Ricca when we met her but you just know there one very interesting story to be had. I wont get into to much detail into any of that as I was surprised by a lot of things and it made me fall deeper in love with this novel. I will add that there was a twist at the end that was so unexpected and then bam it was over. So here I sit waiting for the next novel and hoping to have it in my hands soon, lol .

I would suggest this novel to anyone with a love of MC novels that has a deep story besides just all that goes on in the MC world. This novel has not just an amazingly gripping story but two characters that you cant help but love. There is a feisty heroine and a hero who is very caveman like in his love for her. It makes from some interesting and fun parts.

The author states this was a difficult story to write. It was difficult to read--yet I could not put it down. Ricca and Ratchet are meant to be together. It isn't going to be easy and it isn't happening right away.
When he rescued her from the torture chamber of a drug lord, he knew. Whatever it took he would be with her. She'd never completely heal but he'd take her broken and all. He knows broken. He lives it.
He finally has her in his bed.
Yet, she wakes alone she isn't waiting around. She can take a hint. All the effort just to get her in bed. An astonishing phone call seals her exit plans. She never planned to return to the town she left, but there was something someone waiting and she'd make this right now that she knew.
Returning to an empty room, Ratchet vows to find her. She didn't trust him. He'd find her and teach her she could. Finding was the easy part with his brother's skills. Earning her trust wasn't going to be easy. He would though.
While Ratchet is a violent man, he is also a good man who lives by his and his club's rules. The violence is earned and will likely not be handled by the normal law enforcement. As violent as he can be I found him, my hero, too.
Both Ricca and Ratchet are strong people. They've lived through the worst and come out alive with a future ahead of them. This one is the real example of MC, the club honor, loyalty, and committed love.
DO NOT MISS THIS ONE.

No.........you can't do that to ME!!!

OMG the ending....I seriously yelled NO!!! I even messaged and called Avelyn a not very nice name bahaha!! Freaking floved this addition to this series.
Ricca has come such a long way from the girl whom was rescued from torture she went through. A phone call changes everything what will happen to her when she has to go back to where it all began?? Will she take responsibility or restart a downward spiral?? I love the person that Ricca ends up being during this series and especially this book.
Ratchet is an awesome Alpha Sexy AF Male whom is set out to reclaim his woman!!!! Love the depths and the range of love that this mean as heck biker has for his woman. Ricca doesn't stand a chance lol!! And Asher I hope we get to see some g!glimpses of him, and what mischief he and the other boys can get into in books to come.
This book has everything I want in an MC read, hot as heck sex scenes, angst, twists and LOVE!! Avelyn does an amazing job of reeling you in, so enjoy the ride.
I had read one quote in this book that stood out so here it is......"When the world seems the darkest, the brightest light will always shine through" ...something to ponder for sure. Can't wait for the next book in this series especially after that ending in this one.

This is quite the page turner! Wonderfully exciting, hot and filled with enough action to keep you turning page after page to see what happens, who's behind the mess the female lead finds herself in and of course, to see how things will turn out in the end. And what an end!! Great lead into the next book that will have you chomping at the bit to get your hands on it.

The characters are well developed and quite complex. Ricca (Erica), has a horrid past, and an even more horrid recent past as she is rescued/saved by Ratchet. She is a mess, but she is also strong and a survivor and has finally let him in. He knows her so well, but when she finally lets him have her body, he's gone and her mind takes off on its own. Then the call comes in that changes her life's path, bringing her back to the small town where her terrible life all began. Ratchet is all alpha male, hot, sexy, badass, loyal to his club and he has it bad for Ricca. His leaving was club business, but she's gone and once he's finished with their business, he's hot on her trail.

This is a wonderful story and I thoroughly enjoyed reading Ricca and Ratchet's story and cannot wait to see what is in-store for them. I highly recommend this series and this book!

Ratchet may be the enforcer/clean up man, but he has a heart of gold! He opens up to Ricca and helps her tremendously through her battles, and helps grounds her. They are what the other one needs. ❤️❤️❤️

Ricca has had a really cruddy life, so when Ratchet takes off to help the Heaven's Rejects she starts doubting their relationship.
When out of the blue she gets phone call that her mother is dead, and she has a brother she never knew about. Ricca takes off home to Kentucky to try and get custody of her brother, but finds out that her biological father is his foster parent. So Ricca decides she's going to make sure she gets custody of her brother from him.
Ratchet ties up the clubs loose ends before Voodoo finally gets a hit on where Ricca is. Ratchet is determined to be with Ricca unless she doesn't want him.
Ratchet takes it upon himself to help Ricca with the custody, and when he notices that she left the marital status blank. He had Voodoo help him remedy that since he knew that courts look down on single parent families.
Will this all work out, so they can get custody of Asher? How will her father react to all of this? Will Ratchet and Ricca finally realize that they are made for each other and quit fighting their past, and move forward?
Love this series! ❤️❤️❤️

Absolution is the third book in the series Heavens Rejects MC by Avelyn Paige. Again this author has outdone herself, the way she brings the MC to life in this books is amazing! This book is about Ratchet and Ricca and that alone excited me! Lol Between the loyalty in the MC’s members to the off the charts brewing romance between those two characters! Ricci is from the previous book where Ratchet saves her, she is a broken soul who has had a very hard life. She was a strong character though especially after learning what she went through. Ratchet had a rough childhood and only survived thanks to Jagger and the MC, but he is a hero in this book in my eyes. He was extremely loyal and protective over those in the MC, as he was the enforcer. Ratchet is broken when he finds out Ricca is gone and has their tech guy look into where she is. But her reasoning for leaving will break your heart too and only make you hope that she succeeds. But that doesn’t stop the twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat from happening. The way Avelyn expresses the feelings of these characters is amazing, I could feel the emotions between the two. Highly recommend this book also and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

I was so excited when Absolution his my Kindle in the wee hours. And Holy Cow it did not disappoint!!!! What an amazing addition to the Heavens Rejects Series. Ms Paige has written a thrilling storyline and of course all the major characters from the series add present. The storyline will have you smiling, your toes curling and your heart in your throat at various times throughout the chapters.

Ratchet is the MC’s enforcer and a typical alpha badass! Except when it comes to his woman. For Ricca he would bend heaven and earth to his will to protect her and give her what she wants. Ricca, his woman, is a strong, tough independent woman who has overcome so much in her short life. In Absolution these two must dig deep to overcome past demons and fight even harder to even hope for a happy outcome. But if life has taught them anything it’s to never give up and to never lose hope.

I can’t express how much I loved this book. Simply put it has it all. I highly recommend reading this as well as the rest of the series; you won’t regret it. 2 Thumbs Up for this fantastic read and may I just say that this reader is anxiously awaiting the next book from the Heavens Reject MC series!

If you are looking for something to keep you company this weekend then you need look no further because once you are introduced to the formidable force that is Ricca and Ratchet you won’t want to put them down.
This had everything thrown into the mix and I honestly mean everything.
It had enough angst and attitude to sink a whole fleet of battleships but all of that was tempered by the romance that refused to be tempered at any stage.
While I loved the fact that the story was far from straight forward, what really drew me in was that it didn’t take long for me to see that despite the suspense, this was a romance story that was caught up in a web of magnificence
I thought the main characters were equally engaging, they had both been through more than most and were the perfect match but that didn’t mean that the author was willing to give them and easy ride.
Whilst I think I would be able to say so much more about not only book but the quality of the author work ( the writing was superb), I feel as if I should curtail my review because I honestly believe that you should read this for yourself.

Absolution by Avelyn Paige is the third book in the Heaven´s Rejects MC Series.
Every book in the series can easily be read as a standalone. There are only a few cross-over.
The other books in the series are Sins of the Father, book 0,5. Heaven Sent, Hero and Dani´s story. And Angels and Ashes, Raze and Darcy´s story.

Absolution is Ratchet and Ricca´s story.
Ricca is Dani´s former roommate and friend. She was kidnapped and tortured and is slowly healing. She´s strung out and had problems with addiction.
Ratchet lives and breathes the Heaven´s Rejects MC life. He´s the clubs enforcer and doesn´t do relationships. But Ricca entices him. He can´t get her out of his head.
When circumstances force Ricca to leave the MC, he´s gonna chase her. And what he finds out when he finds her rattles his world.

Absolution has everything I love in a good book. Drama, danger, twists and unexpected turns. A strong hero and a lovely broken heroine, cunning enemies and a unexpected, beautiful HEA.
I give 5 stars. Thank you, Avelyn Paige.

I really am enjoying this series. Yes it was a long wait for book 3 but, in my opinion, it was so worth the wait and a great opportunity to reread from the beginning. We saw what happened to Ricca in book one and now in book 3 we get to see even more of Ricca’s past as something happens to have her racing to the one place she vowed to never return to... home!

Ratchet returned home from some club business to find Ricca had left. No note, no message… just gone. After spending the past few months helping Ricca recover, the pair were getting closer, or so Ratchet thought. He’s not going to let her go for long though.

These two! OMG they were so good together. They complemented each other’s personalities so well and I think they helped each other, not just him helping her. I don’t want to say anything about the plot as I’m sure I’ll give something away, but I really do recommend not just this book, but this whole series if you haven’t started it yet. 5 stars for Absolution, and I really hope there is more to come from the Heaven’s Rejects MC.

I absolutely love this series!! Ms. Paige has another hit on her hands. This series just keeps getting better. Loved the chemistry between Ratchet and Ricca. They are either fighting or getting it on. Ricca gets a phone call and it changes everything. Ratchet has a hero complex, because of have a tragedy in his past. He saves Ricca from torture in a previous book, and now he hunts her down and is coming to her rescue in this book. But she doesn't want his help and he has an unconventional way of helping. When things get sticky will she compromise and let him help her?

I highly recommend this book especially for people who love MC romance that delves deeper, not just the MC world. I personally believe this is Ms. Paige's best novel to date. I can't wait for where she takes us next.

Absolution is a story about love conquering all. About trust. About believing there is good in another. Even though the water looks murky, wade through it and find your serenity.

There seems to be a knight in shining armor, in Jude “Ratchet” Azzo. Even if he rode in on a white horse, Ratchet never knew he could be this man, because he never had a reason to be this man. Until HER.

Erica “Ricca” Delmont was dealt a horrible hand in life. A mother who treated her like trash and then handed her over to men who would use and abuse her. Ricca had no reason to better herself and she felt as though she didn’t deserve a good life. Why would Ratchet want a woman like her? She was worthless.

The day that Ratchet saved Ricca from that hellacious life, he was a changed man. He knew that he wanted her in his life, but he just didn’t know how to communicate that he did. Ricca left before he could tell her, but she left for good reason. I can’t give up what that reason is, but it is a good one! One that will further bring these two together. Even though Ricca pushes Ratchet away, he refuses to give up. He needs her in his life and he in hers; although Ricca just doesn’t know it yet.

The ending left me in shock and awe. What are you doing to me Avelyn? I need to know what happens!! Please tell me that I won’t have to wait for long!! There definitely is a cliff hanger, but a good one. Wow .. I just can’t wait for what you have in store for us next!

Absolution is the third installment in Heaven’s Rejects MC and my first time reading Avelyn Paige. This suspenseful story between Ricca and Ratchet will have you holding your breath to find out what will happen next in their journey.

With being new to this series, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into. However, Absolution was well written and Paige made the characters flowed. Behind every MC, the brotherhood is strong. They stand beside one another. And when the brother calls, the MC comes. Their was something that attracted Ratchet to Ricca. With bringing her back from almost death, a special bond was formed between the two. But with her quick disappearance, Ratchet will stop at nothing to find her. He was taken back for her leaving. Once he finds out why, he will stop at nothing to be by her side.

Absolution is a suspenseful read full of twists and turns. With an MC book, it’s definitely not for the faint at heart. With not knowing the other characters, I was lost. I concentrated on Ratchet and Ricca and their chapter in life.

Absolution by Avelyn Paige is the 3rd book in the Heaven's Rejects MC.

This is my first read by this author and it won't be the last. These books can be read as standalone's and after reading Absolution I definitely want to read the first two.
Ricca has been through the kind of hell the Devil doesn't even deserve. This has got to be one of the strongest female characters I have read in a long time. Loved her. She's feisty and determined.

I loved Ratchet, not only did he save Ricca from hell, but he doesn't give up on her even though she up and left with no word or note. He will find what's his.

I love MC books and i love finding new to me authors who give me my badass biker fix. The action, the drama and of course the angst will have you wanting more.

Loved this book and will definitely be waiting for the next installment in the series. If you love the MC genre the read this series you won't be disappointed.

4.5 STARS

I absolutely loved this book for many reasons fist off the Character names Ricca and Ratchet those are fabulous names.

But more importantly I loved these characters, broken dark souls that find the light. This truly was a fantastic read that left me with the feels. Ricca coming from a very dark place , along comes Ratchet who comes from a bad past just feels and sees her hurt. All he wants to do is fix her and give her a chance.

These 2 characters are on fire and I just wanted to keep on reading once I started. It ended to quickly for me but ended the story well. I do look forward to what is coming next from this author!!

This is a great read, excellent writing, characters and plot. I would recommend this to anyone looking for those traits and looking for something that just has a lot of emotion and makes you feel.

I volunteered to review an Advance Reader Copy of this book for Rockstar Book Muse
