3 stars - I liked it

Hawke has been a character that I have wanted to know more about from the beginning of this series. He has a speech impairment and usually uses sign language with the other guys. While he is still a quiet one, it was nice to get to know him and how he came to be a part of the Broken Chains. His past was heartbreaking but I appreciate that he fought to stand on his own and be self-sufficient before he became a part of the Broken Chains. Hawke was a man who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty but prefers peace and quiet. I liked him a lot. 

Jax is the VP of the Cobras. He and Hawke instantly hit it off and want each other but being rival MCs means that isn’t happening. Jax was a man who has been going with the flow for so long that he doesn’t realize how bad things have gotten. The situation with Hydra has opened his eyes and made him realize how his Prez and chapter have failed their brothers. It may be a bit late for Jax, but he does realize his mistakes and break away from the Cobras because of it. 

Like I said, Hawke and Jax may be from two different MCs but that doesn’t stop them from finding sanctuary in each other's arms. Their relationship was intense, emotional, and really steamy. Overall, this was another great addition to this series and I can’t wait to see how it all ends in the next one. 

Trigger Warnings: physical violence; abusive and neglectful parents; drug and alcohol use; homophobia; motorcycle crash; gun violence;

The darkest of the books so far, and I loved it. Jax and Hawke are both bikers from different clubs with a common enemy. These two know the murkiness that are Motorcycle clubs, and neither are unfamiliar with their violence.

Their connection was intense and rough. It was totally captivating, and damn they were hot together. Totally my thing. But they also had some really wonderful sweet and domestic moments. Hurt/comfort at it’s best really.

Not to mention that things really heat up on the club business front, and it was great to see them get to exact some MC justice and after all the blows they’ve had.

I’m dying for the final book to see them take down Hydra, and of course to see everyone’s favourite brother, Rory, get his HEA.

4.5 dark and stormy stars

This has overtaken Backfire as my favourite Broken Chains book. Jax and Hawke are electric together and there's a darker, grimier, expectant but more hopeful feel to the writing as we head toward the final confrontation with Hyrda, which I'm assuming will be in the next book.

This story is kinkier than the previous three books, as Jax and Hawke enjoy pain with their physical relationship, and the way it's written feels so true to the characters that I can't imagine things unfolding any other way.

It's beautifully executed, with all the heart and soul that I expect from this author.

You definitely need to read this series in order, as there's a series plot.

I received a copy of this book from the author and have chosen to leave an honest review.

DNF at this point in time! Not really in the mood for MC clubs atm. I really enjoyed the first three though so I’ll come back to this at some point.
