Judgment Road by Christine Feehan
3.0
3.5 Stars
This is the first in the Torpedo Ink series, a spin-off from the now ended Drake Sisters/Sea Haven series. Overall, it’s a very good motorcycle club romance/ romantic thriller-type novel and is a good foray by CD into this genre.
One thing that I didn’t enjoy was the number of “sexy time” scenes. I’m not prudish when it comes to love scenes in novels but I do find that when there are several, it often begins to feel like filler on the author’s part. In fairness, sexual dysfunction and sex-related PTSD are major themes in this novel so the sex scenes do have somewhat of a role in the novel, but even then, the frequency after a while, began to feel a little lazy and like the author was rushing through the story and using a sexual device to burn pages (no pun intended).
Another thing I didn’t like was the lack of focus that Anya’s childhood trauma received. Admittedly, Reaper suffered a lot worse as a child, but Anya’s childhood and the things she’s overcome deserve more of an acknowledgement and her own “damage” deserves to be treated.
Overall, this was a good novel and I care enough about the characters to want to read more in the series.
