***This review may contain spoilers***

This is a tough review. I'm not even sure where to start to be honest. I wanted to like this book. I tried. It was almost a DNF for me, but I pushed through since it was a BOTM for my group and I was the one that actually *chose* this book.

The idea of the book was interesting. "Right idea, wrong execution", type of deal. I love an MC book with a bad boy hero and a smart, sassy, strong heroin. But this book? I didn't find a single likeable character, the sto ...more

4.5* This book was wild and gritty and refreshing. Some parts were heartbreaking and maddening. I'm still not sure if I like Deuce or hated him :/ I wish things for them could have taken off sooner before life ate them up and made them affected. I'm not even sure if I really liked this book or if it was just ok... I wanted it to take a different path, but if it had it wouldn't have been refreshing and true to life :/ I liked Madeline Sheehan's writing a lot. And Deuce says 'Babe.' which pretty m ...more

Wow. This is definitely not a feel good fuzzy romance. It's dark and edgy and intense! I'm completely hooked! ...more

hmmm.. sooo... I'm not sure where to start. At first the age difference of the two main characters bothered me a little, it's a tad creepy. I think it's just because we're introduced to it when she's 5 and he's 23. Had their interactions started later, like when she was 18, I don't think it would've been that weird to me. I kept think what the hell as I'm reading because there is just a lot of messed up stuff going on. I know the story isn't meant to be pretty but still!
Honestly I'm still proce ...more

What can I say about this novel? First I wasn’t overly intrigued, but yet I couldn’t stop reading it. The motorcycle theme is definitely one that I have recently been hooked on. I don’t know if I was too keen on such a huge age gap between the two main characters, but yet I wanted desperately for this couple to end up together at the end. The hero was quite a few years older than the heroine. But, no matter what his age, he sounded so badass. So gorgeous! So hot! It was a novel so raw and riveti What can I say about this novel? First I wasn’t overly intrigued, but yet I couldn’t stop reading it. The motorcycle theme is definitely one that I have recently been hooked on. I don’t know if I was too keen on such a huge age gap between the two main characters, but yet I wanted desperately for this couple to end up together at the end. The hero was quite a few years older than the heroine. But, no matter what his age, he sounded so badass. So gorgeous! So hot! It was a novel so raw and riveting! So intensely provocative!

Eva Fox meets Deuce West when both are visiting their fathers...courtesy of Riker’s Island. She’s just a young child and he’s in his early 20’s. Both families are associated with rival motorcycle clubs that are constantly under surveillance by the police for illegal dealings. Years pass since their first encounter, and Eva grows into a beauty - one that oozes sexual heat and ideal confidence. She’s a real looker and attracts attention wherever she goes. Years pass as she every now and then crosses paths with Deuce. She’s still deeply attracted to him, and he wants her also. But, he can’t give up his cheating ways, and she’s got this crazy relationship with another man that she has lived with for years. Between the two, there’s all kinds of despair and doubt. The life that they both lead hangs on the edge repeatedly – neither knowing what will happen from one day to the next. What is in store for this couple? Do they really have the love and devotion that it takes to end up together forever - regardless of their seemingly extensive faults?

The author, Madeline Sheehan, tells of a love so intense that the two main characters are deeply immersed in erotic tension when meeting time after time. I wasn’t always too happy with Deuce and his multiple sexual conquests. He constantly talked about often thinking of Eva, but he didn’t seem to be very loyal. Any hot piece of ass that came his way seemed more important to him than Eva most of the time. And, Eva, what was she thinking about when getting involved with that crazy Frankie – telling him that she loved him! Shit! Now, that was messed up! I did give this novel 4 stars, but I’m still thinking about whether it is worthy of such a high ranking. If the author wanted to leave her audience of readers questioning their elusive interpretation of her novel, then she definitely has acquired that goal. I finished the book four days ago, and I’m still going back and forth about it – wondering what Ms. Sheehan was really aspiring to when writing this book. Was she speaking from any experience whatsoever in regards to a volatile relationship like the one she penned? Or was this strictly fictional – possibly somewhat of a fantasy long thought about? Whatever the case, she definitely has me curiously intrigued about the next installment of the series, Unbeautifully. My expectations of that novel are anticipating the amount of honesty and loyalty of being just a bit more dignified...

This was a very uncomfortable read.

It was like watching a train-wreck unfold. You know your going to see things that you can't bear to watch, but you can't look away. It's inevitable that there will be pain, and fear, and violence, but you are incapable of missing it. You might even see something heroic or honorable, but in the worst F***'in circumstances. You're definitely going to see something that you cannot get out of your mind, that sticks with you when you sleep and throughout your day... ...more

I loved this book! What a fast paced roller coaster ride! I couldn't put it down and finished it in one day. I was totally into the raunchy dialogue, with fuck and bitch being used every other word. Bikers are hot! And Deuce is so alpha and charming, I think I would have wanted him at 5, 12, 16 and so on and so on, just like Eva.

Great read.

Am reading the second one right away, though I'm glad its about different characters. Don't think I could handle anything else happening to this couple. ...more

This book sucked me in, chewed me up & spit me out!
I knew within the first couple of pages that I'd be giving it 5 stars. What I liked most was that the characters were not perfect, they were real & I loved every single one of them.

There were many times I hated Deuce for his cheating ways, especially when Eva was pregnant but he loved her in his own f***ked up way & he was very protective of her.

My heart broke for Frankie. Yeah he was all kinds of messed up but I loved him anyway. He never stra ...more

Ok, I finally decided to go back to this book and give it a second chance. I made it through. It is not in fact the worst book ever. Just incredibly gritty and heartbreaking.
