The biker who's been burned by love and the daughter of a judge who despises the Diablo Disciples?
This is the story of Diamond and Joelle and I loved it because V. Theia has once again woven her brand of magic with her characters. I didn't want to put this, the seventh book in the Diablo Disciples MC series because Joelle is my new favourite FMC from the author. Firstly, she's not built like a Barbie, but is curvy and whilst she has her insecurities - loves her body curves and all. Body positivity in romance is wonderful to witness as is an element of reality in how someone looks. Thank you, V.
I also loved how she's a circle in a square box, despite everything that's expected of her as a part of the rich and somewhat entitled. Joelle isn't afraid to be herself in how she looks from blue hair to vibrant colours that no doubt have many women in her ‘circle’ clutching their pearls. She's an artist who sees colour not only in her wardrobe and home. But the world around her; even if she has to put it there herself.
This story is also a little different because we get glimpses of what else the MC offers those who are willing to pay. It's not just intimidation and vehicle repair for these bikers, (I'm betting we've not seen all they're involved in yet!) I liked seeing how Axel, as the President of the 1% club, is willing to admit he doesn't control everything in his empire. Diamond is a professional and stoic leader of a security team and it's this job that will change his life.
A diamond may reflect rainbows after all, but not when it's hidden away like this biker has to protect his heart.
There's chaos and darkness in this story but there's also so much heat and love which gives such a wonderful balance. I don't know how V does it, but each of these books is always better than the one before but this was incredible. You're going to giggle at times, especially with Joelle's antics and you're going to also want to yell at her to not be so naive at times.
Diamond is perfect for his Bluebell, (swoon) and I loved how this is a story of how sometimes fate comes into play and how what seems perfect on paper - is often something that belongs in the trash.
