Raised by his uncle, the president of the Tartarus MC, Maddox is destined to follow in his footsteps.

Excerpt

Prologue
Maddox

From the very first moment I spotted Snow White, she’d burned herself into my brain. Every fucking night, the image of her naked body tortured me in maddening detail.
Sometimes I woke with the remnants of her taste in my mouth, half convinced I’d actually buried my tongue in her undoubtedly pretty pussy. Fuck, I hadn’t seen an inch of that legendary body yet, much less touched her. Oh, but I would, even if it took a poisoned apple.
A guy like me would never be allowed near Snow White. I wasn’t a fuckin’loser, far from it. I was going to become the president of the Tartarus MC, following in my uncle’s footsteps, the current prez. Of course, that made me the lowest scum on earth if you asked Snow White and her fuckin’father, Luca Vitiello, the Capo of the Italian mob on the East Coast. I was a little boy, barely five years old, when the life I knew was ripped from me. As the son of the president of the New Jersey chapter of the Tartarus motorcycle club, I had watched many disturbing things at my young age. Club brothers getting it on with whores in the middle of the clubhouse in broad daylight, brutal fights, shootings…but nothing had left quite a mark like the night the Capo of the Famiglia brutally killed my father and his men.
The murderous bastard had slaughtered an entire chapter of our club—alone.
Strike that.
Not alone—with a fuckin’ax and a skinning knife. The screams of my dying club family still haunted my nights, an echo of a memory I couldn’t shake unless I drank enough booze to kill an elephant. Those images were the fuel for my hunger for revenge.
And revenge I would finally get, with the help of the spoiled princess of New York: Marcella Vitiello.



Not sure where to start with this one, I didn't love it but, I didn't hate it either. Sometimes I have to remember that this story is just fiction but, even with fiction, the story has to be plausible, at least in my mind anyway. For me, fiction or not, I just could not get past the fact that Maddox would do what he did for the sake of a woman and knowing his past history for Snow White's family. I understood the why of it, and it was the right thing to do, but on the other hand I felt that he didn't have a choice. The man was between a rock and a hard place, but, he also had a mom and brother to think about. Love makes a man do some crazy things, and he was willing to make that sacrifice. Maddox was a character that you love/despise because he had to know that his part in the plan they hatched that an innocent could end up hurt, especially when the previous club was part of a human trafficking ring and the current club had a dog fighting ring that any of these men could carry a conscious.

The thing that we did love is the fact Maddox, even full of revenge, had a conscious and felt protective of Snow White and no matter the horrific situation Marcella found herself in she felt some sort of connection or attraction to Maddox. Snow White aka Marcella is a character that I am still not sure how I feel about, so waiting for part 2 to draw a conclusion. I will say, however, that I loved the confident and changed version of Marcella at the end. I also loved that through her hellish days she developed somewhat of a relationship with another wounded soul named Satan.

For me personally the story seemed rushed and had there been more of it and more developed and had Maddox and Snow White had time to develop their relationship more I might have felt differently but, I am looking forward to seeing what happens next as this is one plot is about to get a lot more complicated.
