Review in Portuguese and English.

Blurb:

She is the everyday girl next-door. 

He is shadowed by regret laced in broken memories. 

Dark sins of the past have a way of taking hold of your heart and never letting go. 

Paisley Asher is the average woman trying to get by in life. Happy and safe in her bubble of ease, she is not prepared to take on the black pit that is one man’s heart. 

Trevor ‘Coal’ Blake has a past covered in black. Tainted. He is a dark soul. 

In the moment, it is easy to lose sight of what is going on. Looking back, however, little cues were misread … or were they? He lives with more questions than answers. 

Chance encounters bring these two together. Is she the angel to pull him from the depths of his personal hell, or is he destined to remain alone and as black as coal? 

Review:

Gostei da heroína e da maneira dela encarar a vida e lutar contra a depressão levando uma vida mais natural e respeitando o meio ambiente.

Eu tinha muita curiosidade sobre os motivos do herói por viver uma vida só dedicada ao clube e as missões dele se achando indigno do amor. Apesar dos atos dele serem de uma pessoa com bom coração e digno de ser amado.

Eu amo um bom churrasco e confesso que na metade da leitura eu quase virei vegetariana. Quase...

Adorei a leitura e como sempre as autoras escreveram muito bem.

Recomendo toda série.

-----------

Like the heroine and the way her face life and fight against depression taking a more natural life and respecting the environment.

I was very curious about the motives of the hero by living a life dedicated to the Club and his missions feeling unworthy of love. In spite of his actions being a person with a good heart and worthy of being loved.

I love a good barbecue and I confess that in the middle of reading I almost turned vegetarian. 

Almost... 

I loved reading and as always the authors have written very well.

Recommend the whole series.

Review in Portuguese and English:

UPDATE: Relido em 10 de fevereiro de 2017.

Os heróis se separam após trágico acidente em que heroína perde o bebê enquanto herói está em uma missão na qual ele se voluntariou.

Enquanto ela enfrenta problemas com depressão, baixa auto estima e a mania de perfeição, nosso herói foge dos problemas e cada vez passa mais tempo fora de casa em missões. Mas desta vez ele exagera e não está lá na hora que ela mais precisava dele.

Quando ele volta para uma casa vazia ele se dá conta da burrada que fez.

Oito anos mais tarde eles se reencontram e posso dizer que o encontro é explosivo.

A história além de muito bem escrita tem aqueles elementos que adoramos: cenas quentes entre o casal, ciúmes, ação, tiroteio, explosões, caras malvados sendo perseguidos, deliciosos motoqueiros, ex militares, machos alfas marcando território deles e uma mulher renascida e cheia de confiança.

Gostei muito e recomendo!

SPOILER: Adorei que ela continuou com a vida e teve um relacionamento com Ice. 

------------------

The heroes break up after tragic accident in which heroine loses her baby while hero is on a mission in which he volunteered.

While she is facing problems with depression, low self esteem and the mania of perfection, our hero hides their problems and spend more time away from home on missions. But this time he exaggerates and he is not there at the time that she needed him most.

When he returns to an empty home he realizes the mistake he made.

Eight years later they meet again and I can say that the meeting is explosive.

The very well written story has those elements that we love: hot scenes between the couple, jealousy, action, shooting, explosions, bad guys being chased, delicious bikers, ex military, alpha males marking their territory and a woman reborn and full of confidence.

I enjoyed and recommend.

SPOILER: I love that she continued with her life and had a relationship with Ice.

Blurb:

Some mistakes from the past haunt us forever... unless fate steps in with a second chance. 

One 'dear John' letter haunts Bobby Baker's every living moment. It’s the letter he stupidly wrote to his high school sweetheart, Belle, right after he left to join the Army. The letter that he told her that he wasn't so sure if they were ready for forever yet. But before he can let her know that the letter, and his second thoughts, are nothing but a mistake, she up and disappears from the small Georgia town they were both raised in.

Fifteen years later, Belle unknowingly walks back into Bobby's life when her job as an ATF Agent forces her to work with a group of men secretly headed by the CIA to help her track down whoever is involved in funneling black market weapons to a drug cartel in Mexico. 

Bobby will use this mission to try and soothe Belle's hurt feelings while proving to her that their love is still meant for forever. He'll use every dirty trick he's learned since he joined the Army to maneuver her back into his life for the long haul. But Belle's not making it easy as she keeps him at arm's length in the hopes that mistakes of her own never come to light.
