Bloody…broken…barely surviving…
Danae “Dani” Espinoza is on the run and desperate to escape the demons of her past. Plans to hide out in a sleepy Los Angeles suburb turn into a pipe dream as she is drawn into the secret filled world of the local motorcycle club. Dani soon learns that her secrets and lies are nothing compared to those kept behind the clubhouse doors. Trying to avoid the suspicious Vice President, she must keep a low profile in order to survive. The trouble is he has other ideas.
Bike…babes…and booze…
Can an angel with blood-covered wings and the devil himself resist temptation or will they risk bringing hellfire down on everything that they love?
Wow what can someone say about this book other than it was fantastic to read.
We meet Dani who is running to make a better life for herself, running from events that are soul destroying and evil.
Trying to make the best of things she settles in a town and moves in with a roommate. Little does she know events that happen will draw her into another world of violence and chaos.
Kidnapped as result of her roommates choice of lover, Dani is thrown into the world of motorcycle clubs. One thing about Dani she is a fighter and manages to escape but lands herself into the world of the Heavens Rejects MC.
But she is far from safe as they don't know where she is a friend or enemy.
Hero doesn't know what to think of Dani and he is so torn as he wants so much more from her. The attraction is sizzling, and he feels like he should go with his head and not what is is in his pants.
This is a fantastic start to a new MC series, Avelyn has produced a read where it is captivating. Full of sexy scenes, violence wars, secrets revealed. Looking forward to the next in the series.

~*~ Obsessed by Books copy given in exchange for an honest review ~*~
"you are preaching to the broken life parade queen right here, but we have to pick up the pieces and glue them back in a way that makes us happy again."
This is really Dani's story, it begins with her and ends with her....and she gets mixed up in a whole load of bad! Running away from "Him" she gives us just enough information to lure us in and want to know why she is trying to remain under the radar. Finding herself bunking up with a stranger and working in a dive bar cash in hand Dani reveals only a little about herself. Keeping her past a secret she's a no nonsense young woman that knows how to handle herself. A mysterious guy in the bar she works at captures her libido and entwines himself in her future as she finds herself in the middle of a MC war.
Kidnapped as payment on a drugs deal gone bad in lieu of her room mate Dani finds herself at the mercy of Heaven's Rejects MC. Unable to distinguish whether she is a traitor or an innocent in the war between clubs she is a prisoner at the clubhouse until things are clarified. Her spit fire attitude warms the Prez up towards her but the VP isn't convinced....
That guy in the bar turns out to be Dani's worst nightmare. Fighting her body's need fur him he doesn't believe her story as he detects the lies she is struggling to keep. Sensing she isn't being 100% truthful the two spark off one another and play a game of cat and mouse. Hero is also wrestling hidden demons, haunted by his time in the forces, losing his brothers in a bomb and leaving him as the lone survivor. The MC has helped him channel his rage and control his need for justice. Can two broken people heal the open wounds left by their pasts? Or will fear and anger keep them apart?
This first in series is a whirl wind read, it's different to your typical MC romance but has all the right elements. It's dark and brutal but not too extreme painting the MC life to be a fine line between good and bad and respect is law. Club whores, old ladies and rival MC's are all part of this story so it feels comfortable and familiar to lovers of the genre yet Hero has other issues that influence his actions as does Dani. Those subtle difference made this a four and a half star MC read for me as it added another dimension. I loved the plot twists and how the big reveal wasn't what I expected. Told in dual pov I also enjoyed seeing the story unraveling from both of our main characters. It also serves as an introduction to the MC members and I hope they each get to share their stories.
An author to watch!

Cold.
All I can feel is a deep chill blanketing my body. My eyes open to complete
darkness as a voice calls to me. Its muffled tones send
shivers down my spine with every garbled word. A sense of familiarity floats
around me as its words become clearer.
“Run, Dani,” it pleas from beyond the black
veil shrouding the room. “Escape while you can,” it continues. Panic courses
through my veins. Where in the hell am I? Why can’t I see anything? The pleas
go unanswered as my voice fails to render sound.
“Help!” I scream internally, “Please, fucking
help me!”
The voice’s call fades with each word. “You
need to get the hell out of here, Dani. You need to move. Find a wall and
escape,” I coach to myself. A cold chill of air sweeps into the darkness
encompassing me as I try to feel the place around me. My fingers plunge into a
dense, sticky liquid as I crawl forward causing my body to slide with each
movement. A hard surface is finally inching its way under my fingers.
Crawling upwards, I splay my hands against the
cool wall. “You’re on your feet, Dani. The hardest part is over now. Time to
find a door or a light switch, something to get us out of here,” my internal
coach continues.
Keeping close to the wall, I finally find a
switch. Flicking it upwards, the light shines brilliantly. As my eyes adjust to
the light, my hands come into my vision. A scream barrels out of my throat when
I see the sticky, red blood covering my hands and clothes. My heart races as I frantically wipe
the blood away. Blood begins to pool at my feet, inching toward me. Rushing
away from the blood, I fall backward into a solid, but warm obstacle. Before I
can turn around, hands grasp my arms as a person’s hot breath trails down my
neck.
“Hello, Dani,” a different voice whispers in
my ear. “Welcome to Hell. You’re mine now,” the voice crackles as my body is
pulled into black oblivion.
Avelyn Paige is a born and raised Indiana girl. She may be a Hoosier by birth, but she’s a Boilermaker by choice! Avelyn lives in rural Indiana with her pastor husband, 2 spoiled cats, and one very odd looking dog. She’s an oncology research scientist by day and a writer and book review blogger by night. She enjoys reading anything she can get her hands, baking, and spending time with her friends and family.
Never intending to ever write her own book, the idea behind the Damaged series came to her on a drive to work early one morning thinking about her father who’d recently passed away. His strength during his cancer and rare blood disease battle inspired Avelyn to do something she’s never thought about before. She’s excited to see where this wild ride takes her.
