Rebel (Dead Man's Ink #1)by Callie Hart
Rebel and Sophia's story.
The first of a three part series. This novel contains a small snippet which has already been released in the Owned: An Alpha Anthology, however it is followed by a full story installment.
Sophia
Sometimes, you don't mean to become another person. Sometimes the choice is made for you, and pretending is the only thing that keeps you going. When Alexis Romera is taken and her kidnappers find her fake ID in her purse, she must become Sophia in order to keep her family safe. Revealing her real identity to the man she's sold to would be easy enough, but can she trust him? Hell bent on revenging the murder of his uncle, Rebel doesn't seem all that interested in playing things safe.
In fact, nothing about the secretive, dark and brooding MC president seems safe at all.
Rebel
What do you do when the man who raised you is murdered, and the only witness is kidnapped girl who's being sold as a sex slave? You buy her, of course. As president to the most powerful motorcycle club in America, Rebel isn't lacking in power. There are strings the man can pull, and entire criminal organizations and corporate businesses alike would fall to their knees. However, along with such power comes intense interest. The DEA have their eye fixed solely on the MC...and they're just waiting for Rebel to trip up.
Getting Sophia to testify is the only way to bring the Los Oscuros cartel down. The beautiful, dark haired, dark eyed woman is belligerent and uncooperative and unlikely to bend to his will, but Rebel has a few tricks up his sleeve to make her compliant--he'll charm her until she's bending over backwards to please him.
Of course, falling for her might cause a few hiccups along the way...
Manda's 4 Star Review
Wrong place, wrong time that is what causes an entire chain of events that will change the life of Alexis Romera forever. Just trying to make her way home Alexis accidentally stumbles upon a crime and because she was there she will suffer also. The only chance she has at survival is in the hands of a man she doesn't trust.
Rebel needs Alexis to get revenge for the murder of his uncle, but getting her to trust him is not an easy task. When you buy a kidnapped woman sold as a sex slave trust is going to be hard earned.
I liked this start to the series. Rebel and Alexis are both strong characters and the storyline is engaging. The relationship between the 2 characters is a slow build and not an instant thing. We get an initial sense of the characters but as the story progresses the depth of the characters is revealed. Even though we are first introduced to these characters in the Blood and Roses series it is not necessary to read those books first. Its a great series and I suggest reading it as well but this is a completely different storyline. As this is the first part in the series it leaves you wanting to find out what happens next and will also have you wanting to know more about the supporting characters. Great start to a promising new series!
Review: Deviant (Blood & Roses, #1) by Callie Hart
Sloane
I'm not proud of the things I've done.
The things I've had to do.
The things I've given away.
but I'd give it all over again to find her.
Even if i die trying,
I have to find Alexis.
Zeth
She wants me to help her,
But I won't.
She wants me to save her sister,
But I can't.
She wants me to be her hero,
But I'm not a good man.
I am her damnation.
Manda's 4 Star Review:
Sloane would do anything to find her sister, including an anonymous tryst with a sexy stranger, but when things don't work out as planned she has no choice but to keep looking. No matter what the cost.
Zeth is a man that people fear. His business is to take care of those who cross his employer. He lives a very particular life with very particular tastes. He has no room for someone like Sloane but he can't seem to stay away. She is on a quest to save her sister but he is not the hero type.
With a blurb that gives nothing away I had no idea what I was getting into with this book. Right from the start the story pulls you in and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. It's a very quick read that will leave you wanting more. Now that Deviant has established the characters personalities I can't wait to see where the story goes from here.
