Wolf.e (The Soldiers of Bedlam #1) by Paisley Hope

Always ride faster than your angel can fly.

-Gabriel Wolfe

As president of the Hounds of Hell motorcycle club, my life has been infused with darkness and trauma since the day I was born. Chaos is my birthright. I crave it to feel stable. Secure. Whole.

The only people I care about are the ones who don my cut.

Women are just a tool.

Never to covet, only to use, each face blending into the next.

The formula I live by is simple.

Death is always at my door.

I am a soldier of bedlam.

Until a little hummingbird flies into my crosshairs, and I’m forced to feel something I haven’t felt for as long as I can remember…alive.

Genre: Dark Romance, Romance, Dark, Forced Proximity, Contemporary, Enemies to Lovers, Smut, Motorcycle, MC

Triggers: torture, gun violence, murder, discussions of sexual assault of a minor, flashbacks of domestic abuse and death of a family member, mild alcohol and drug use. There are some triggers not listed by the author to keep plot points concealed.

There are so many spicy scenes that come out of nowhere, but they're so worth it. I love the characters and the way they are written, can't wait to read the technical prequel! Brinley breaks up with her long term vanilla boyfriend and moves back to her hometown. Where she runs into her childhood friend who is marrying into the local MC. When she agrees to come to her wedding and reconnect, Brinley meets the head of the MC, Gabriel Wolfe. Who is the complete opposite of her ex as well as herself. When Brinley witnesses a murder, Wolfe puts her into his protection and then doesn't want to let her go.

It was such a quick and spicy read, it's definitely perfect for the summer months. Even with the genre and trigger warnings it was much darker than expected, but a lot of fun. I just hope that I connect with the main characters in the second book more than I did with Brinley and Gabe.

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

Absolutely, hands down, my favorite book in the series. The entire evolution of the story is incredible. Thank gosh it was broken down into three parts because this bitch wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise. LOVE the evolution of Nesta beginning to live and love herself, despite the darkness she's caused and witnessed. That she finds her reason for being and fights to retain it and fights to be a better version of herself constantly. Nesta finding her love in music and dancing, is so beautifully written. The house being sentient being, even capable of complex emotion and understanding, is so beautiful. It gives Nesta the nurturing, respect, and love that her mother never gave her. Which while healing is something she desperately needs especially because her mother was so absolutely awful to her. The addition of Emerie and Gwyn are the perfect characters to add and further broaden the family in the ACOTAR universe. ...
