For two years, he played the long game.
He slowly insinuated himself into her life, and the moment that she needed him, he swooped in like the knight in shining armor that he only pretended to be but most assuredly wasn’t.
He’s no real knight.
In fact, he’s the villain in everyone’s story but his own.
He lives life the way he wants to live it, and damn anyone and anything that gets in his way.
He may appear like an upstanding anesthesiologist at work, but the moment he gets out of those scrubs and into his jeans, biker boots, and leather cut with the Truth Tellers emblem at his back, he morphs into his alter ego.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ain’t got nothin’ on him.
He’s been putting on a front for two years, and just when he has Aella Cowan right where he wants her, he closes down every possible avenue of escape.
He thinks he has a future fight on his hand, but Aella proves that she’s not quite as sheltered as Chevy thinks. She’s perfectly happy being the old lady of one of the scariest members of the Truth Tellers Motorcycle Club and couldn’t care less if he spends his nights doing questionable things to despicable people.
As long as she has breakfast with him every morning, what does she care how he spent his night?

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
Chevy Clayborne's appearance in the previous book might've been brief, but in this book he's larger than life, leaving an indelible mark as a decadently delightful anti-hero. A sexy anesthesiologist by day and an avenging MC angel by night! Oh, my! What a delicious combination of a modern-day Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! The dichotomy of his personality is beautifully and emotionally depicted by Ms. Vale, making him a compelling character whose actions add even more exhilarating substance to this series-starting thrill-ride.
Aella Cowan has been attracted to Chevy for two years. It's been a time of push and pull and feelings of not being good enough for him. Little does she know that he's been watching and waiting for her, and once they get-together things turn combustible. Aella's an immensely likable heroine, along with her sister Silver, one who's had a rocky and painful past courtesy of a toxic mother and danger creeping ever closer. She's got a tough exterior, but is vulnerable at times too, and it had me rooting for her every step of the way.
Like her previous series, Ms. Vale has woven together an exhilarating tapestry of suspense and steam. Readers are put through the emotional wringer on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. There's unexpected twists and turns along with actions that put a smile on your face while bringing a tear to your eye. All in all, Ms. Vale has once again given readers exactly what they want in a perfectly paced, immensely satisfying, series starter that has me greatly anticipating the next story in this series!
My rating for this is an A.
*I got this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.
