review 1: 3.5 StarsI am hoping the next book is better. I liked this one, but it was just too much thrown too fast. Even though Gisele and Cillian have history it was a bit strech for me for them to see each other again and sleep with each other again. All the parts to a great book were there I just needed it to be slowed down a bit and more character development. This is my first book by Selene Cardou and it was well written just need a bit tweaking for better execution.Shauna
review 2: Our 3 Star ReviewCillian is the VP for his motorcycle gang. His father runs it and he does the dirty work, but it's wearing him thin. Cillian is almost 30 married to a woman who cheats on him and doesn't really even take care of their kids. He only got together with her and married her... more because his parents wouldn't allow him to be with the girl he loved when he was 16, she got pregnant and was part of a "rival" gang. Now 13 years down the line he's miserable and his father is about to make him do his biggest job yet. Killing a fed, he's killed before, plenty, but this time everyone knows the heat will come down on him. The only person who can help him? His childhood love, Gisela who is now an attorney who helps get off every criminal in the northern Nevada area.Gisela is a hard core kinda girl, she doesn't take any crap from anyone, except her now reunited long lost first love Cillian who needs her help. They get together and face their troubles together, but can they overcome all the obstacles?Okay, so I wanted to like this story, but it was just way too confusing. The first two chapters, apart from the fact that it just dove right in without any real understanding of the back story, you were told so many names and given so much random info you have a very small chance of keeping up. Then you have the alternating POV's, which I love except you can never keep up with the constant changing between 1st and 3rd person. Gisela's POV was pretty set as a 1st person, but Cillian was constantly changed up. This story also showed all the characters using drugs and doing plenty of other illegal activities. This is my personal preference here but I don't enjoy a story that showcases drug use as acceptable behavior. Weed yea ok fine but coke and meth no not so much.Cillian knows what he's unhappy with, but he does next to nothing to change his ways and go after what makes him happy unless he's directed to by someone else. I saw him as a very weak male lead and his only redeeming quality was taking the rap for someone else. Once he finally got the girl of his dreams he can't even stay faithful to her!!!Gisela is tough and intelligent and a great woman except when it comes to Cillian. She tries to steer him the right way but it's a constant uphill battle and he does next to nothing to help her. Yea I understand she loves him but allowing him to walk all over her gets old, even when she pushes back and lets him know she's not his dim-witted ex and won't tolerate his b/s behavior.If you stand back and just remember the basics of the story it allows you to enjoy it so much better. As long as you don't let the dozens of names and random bits of information to overwhelm you. My favorite part was the ending, and no that's not a dig at the story being over, I enjoyed the last couple of chapters the most because I finally was able to understand the story and what happened in their pasts to bring them where they were when the story started. less
