It still suffered from some of the same problems as the first book in the series, but it did have one main problem for the main characters to overcome, even though it was not presented until late in the book. For an MC character, Arrow seemed awfully needy. Anna was a strong female lead, but I wondered how she managed to have a job, live with the MC's problems, and still have time to work on her PhD. Overall, though, this was a good story. The death of Mary in the previous book brought a lot of emotion to this story. ( ) This is a good series Best to read series in order as there are updates of previous couples and plot building for the next couples book in each book. Hero pushing away. Hero feels guilty about the death of Mary, a woman he was previously involved with, she died at the club. She has been dead for a few years but he has not been intimate with anyone since then. He does this out of guilt but I thought it was a nice touch as I thought it would make his pursuit with the heroine better but sadly after the initial celibacy at the start of the story he is intimate with one club girl in particular. He gives the heroine and the reader the impression he is sleeping around with more than just the one club girl. In previous books he was not exclusive with Mary. Their relationship is made more complicated as the heroine is the sister of one of the other club members. Usual hilarious banter between club members and others. Other men who may be the focus of other books are with other women, no huge details but a certain amount of intimacy happens at times. HFN. Breadcrumbs dropped for next book.

Arrow's Hell by Chantal Fernando Wind Dragons MC series #2 fem·i·nism [feməˌnizəm] noun the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. synonyms: the women's movement, the feminist movement, women's liberation, female emancipation, women's rights; informal:women's lib "a longtime advocate of feminism" Uh, yeah, we'll be having none of that here. Respect for women can take one giant step back. You know what? Why don't you just step out of the room. You aren't needed. Take your brains with you. Anna somebody--does her name really matter?--moves back to the city to be near her brother, Adam. The two of them raised each other in a home with no father and a drug-addicted, whorish mother. Anna has returned to school to get her PhD in zoology or something. Adam (now dubbed "Rake") is part of a motorcycle club called "Wind Dragons". Who knows what their business is now, but they used to be drug dealers, many have done time for murder, and they currently come back from their runs with bruised knuckles and split lips. They live in their clubhouse which is stocked with booze, drugs and "club whores". The women act like biker fembots who are there only to serve the men. That is not an exaggeration. The men are misogynistic pigs who order the women around, treating them with incredible disrespect, demanding sex on the spot, "make me food", etc., never a please or thank you. They are domineering set to "stun". In order to "protect" Anna, Rake has her followed around wherever she goes. If she goes to work, one of the bikers is sitting in there watching her the whole time. If she goes to school, they are waiting to bring her home. If she leaves the house, they insist on bringing her wherever. If any guy talks to her or texts her, even only as a friend, they demand to know who it is and threaten the guy so he leaves her alone. Anna is 25, not 15. It is ridiculous. We are to believe they have hearts of gold. Sorry. You lost me there. They are pigs. Anna, who keeps telling everyone she is "a scientist" *snort*, falls in love with Rake's MC brother, Killian Arrowsmith "Arrow". He has some bad history which now affects Anna's life. We are supposed to look at him like he's a tortured soul. He's a pig too. It's not even a story where he starts out as a jerk and develops redeeming characteristics. Nope. He's still a complete ass at the end too. Anna just becomes more stupid until they even out and become a good match. It's one thing to show guys being a little edgy, a lot alpha, a bit domineering, etc. and play it off as hotness. This book, however, is an insult--not just to women, but also to men. I know there are men like this out there and women for them; however, this is not the type of relationship we should be glorifying. It is abusive. Hearing 'I Love You' shouldn't cancel out that fact. She nibbles on her bottom lip. "Is everything okay?" "It will be," I tell her heart-shaped lips. It will be okay the moment I tell her how much I love her. This book was an improvement from the first book in the series. I knew that after reading all that had happened during the first book that I would love reading Arrow's story. The main characters were great characters to follow and this book brought back all my favorite secondary characters. The plot of this book was also much stronger and cohesive than the first book. Arrow was one of my favorite secondary characters from the first book. When the book starts it is five years since the events of the previous book and Arrow is still a broken man. Anna, Rake's sister, starts hanging around the club as she has moved back to town. Both Arrow and Anna can feel the spark between them but Arrow refuses to get close to another woman. I loved reading about Anna and Arrow. I just wanted Arrow to be happy again so I was happy that Anna showed up and broke down his walls. There was plenty of drama between them but when they were together sparks flew off the pages. I was really happy that while there seemed to be a bit of the whole meandering plot that was in the first book it still was more focused than the first book. It seemed to have more purpose rather than wandering around from one event to the next. I am really looking forward to reading Tracker's story next. This book did a good job at seeing that book up while still concentrating on Arrow and Anna. no reviews | add a review
