“Our old ladies are sacred to us as well as to the entire club. They are always as protected as our families are.”
I am on a Torpedo Ink binge read right now.
MC romance is my guilty pleasure.
We follow Steele in the second book.
I did not enjoyed this as much as the first one.
We do get badass men and women. Action scenes, Love scenes. I love all those.
But when it comes to romance I love when the couples are fresh and new.
Couples with history and past just feel like there is a lot of angst.
I love Breezy. She is my favourite.
We follow through her journey, she has go through like a lot of things.
From a mouse to a badass bitch she became.
We discuss on serious issues in the second book. So Trigger warning.
From sex trafficking, PTSD, rape, child molestation, death, grief and everything.
I like the plotline we are following these MC who faces these stuff and how they are going through it.
I honestly am so excited for ICE book!
“Steele felt the weight of that sacred ink on his back. It was there for a reason, to remind all of them they were stronger together.”

Wow, this was a powerful book. Steele found his "one" in the gang they infiltrated ... and had to give her up because his club needed him ... in a way that guaranteed she'd stay gone. Three years later, she's tracked him down ... she needs his help.
He's not letting her get away again. He has a lot of damage control to do ... and his own issues he needs to deal with.
Wonderful book! They keep getting better and better!

As the second book in the Torpedo Ink series, Feehan ups the sex, the suspense, and the bloodshed. We see more torture and violence here, but there is still a small barrier between the reader and the dark themes. The language is much more vague than during the sex scenes for example, which are detailed and very graphic. It emphasizes what is being fetishized here--the sex, the romance, and the severe reactions to protect one's family.
Like the previous book, many readers will be turned off due to Steele's actions as well as the actions of the other club members. All of this is based in extreme PTSD, and while some readers will be turned off by the hero's actions, the book faces the fact that this is PTSD related. The club members try to help, but they have similar issues so that doesn't always work out well. This will garner controversial results from readers.
Tropes: m/f; MC/biker romance; Vice President with severe PTSD meets daughter of rival; NOT a slow burn--totally not a slow burn; crude language and sex throughout; second chance romance; exhibitionism and voyeurism; kink; extreme violence and characters in peril; abuse, assault, and reactions due to severe PTSD; graphic torture, murder, and dismemberment; discussions of extreme abuse, rape, torture, and imprisonment of children; discussions of human trafficking, drugs, rape, kidnapping, torture, and other dark themes; assassins for hire; mentions of incest.
Heat rating: NUCLEAR—explicit sex, indelicate language during sex, and graphic depictions of a sexual nature used to further the story; may also include light kink; not quite enough for an EXPLICIT level (5), but takes it a level past HOT (3).

Warning this book is not a romance novel. It is a failed attempt to tell a story about child victims of physical mental and sexual abuse who grow into damaged adults that kill pedophiles and people involved in human trafiking rings while finding their one true love.
Warning do not read this book unless you want to feel very depressed and you have a therapist on retainer.
The previous book in this series was done much better than this book. Not only is the relationship annoying but the author lost her balance of the past and present. Most of this book is the two main characters flip flopping on what they needed in a relationship. She will never trust him again yet she has learned to be submissive and cave, wash rinse repeat. He wants her to stay away from him because he is damaged yet can't let go of her. Demands that she accept him yet admits he cut off their relationship in the first place being mean as possible. Oh and he couldn't find her despite having an internet wizard. So not only is a lot of the book thinking dialog with no action but 90 percent of the book is the author telling the most horrific stories of what these characters have been through. The first book had some but this book has WAY MORE! I felt like the author was having more fun coming up with stories of how toddlers and kids under 10 can be sexually and physically tortued than she did creating a romantic relationship with a plot that actually moved forward. Oh there is sex in the book and devotion but their personalities swung so much I felt like they had multiple personalities and wasn't sure if I wanted these 2 to even be in a relationship.
I have really liked other books from this author. So I was tempted to write a nice review. But decided if I could help another one of her fans to avoid this book I might be helping the author keep the respect she has earned from previous books. It's that bad people. I read the first book and to many that might have seemed messed up and dark. And a part of me liked it more than disliked the first book. But this one is absolutely disturbing. I have read other books that were able to convey horrid abuse without going this far. The author used every opportunity she could to talk about it and go into further detail.

Good read
Another great storyline. Definitely smutty in all the right places. Can’t wait to move onto the next book in the series.

“He'd been angry. He'd been afraid for her. He'd been shocked that just by being with her, he'd become everything he most despised in the world-- a predator.”
Audio book.
I am enjoying this series but man it's intense. The past abuse that the lead guys in this series go through is really really awful. One of the most painful and horrible back stories I've ever read, and I've read a lot of crazy messed up once in paranormal romances. It's a bit much at times, I wish it was a little less crazy, but it does add to the tortured hero mood of course.
With audiobooks I miss I don't have quotes! The narrator was okay, it was just one guy reading the whole thing and really like 90% of the book was in the male Steele's perspective.
Breezy is the main female and they have a previous relationship history, this is a second chance trope romance, which isn't my favorite. I think you always kind of miss out on watching the characters falling in love the first time.
Lots of good spice in this, Feehan sure has kicked up the spiciness factor since the early Carpathian Dark Ones books.
“Baby you're reading the situation completely wrong. I know you don't need saving. I do. I need you to save me.”

So freaking good!
Vengeance Road is book 2 of Torpedo Ink by Christine Feehan @authorcfeehan and is a spinoff series from both of the Sea Haven series. Steele was an assassin for the Russian government, and is the VP of Torpedo Ink & Breezy needs Steele’s help… the last person she wants to ask as he broke her heart before. They have a son that Steele didn’t know about & Breezy was asking him for help to rescue him from her father (the MC Steele left). The club plans to rescue Zane (his son). They talk & then make love the night before they leave to find Zane. They head out, with a stop at Breezy’s apartment to get things that they need before heading out to Louisiana where Zane is being held. They find Zane, leaving no one to disclose that the team was there. They head back to Sea Haven, where they get engaged.
