Cherryβs life growing up was nothing short of a nightmare. Having an abusive father forced her to fend for herself from an early age. Bruised and emotionally broken, she finally escaped, running straight into the comfort that Lip's arms brought. In the beginning, everything seemed to fall into place perfectly. He made her forget the messed-up ways of her life. But secrets canβt stay neglected. They have a habit of revealing themselves regardless of the consequences. Terrified, Cherry canβt speak a word or sheβll lose it all.
Lip is no stranger to the criminal life. Growing up among convicts, he wanted nothing more than to show his worth. Heβll do anything for the club without question, including serving six years in prison. But nobody could have predicted lifeβs plan. Rugged, tattooed, and wanting nothing more than to have Cherry, Lip is no longer the man whom Cherry remembers. After his release, he came out a beast with more secrets and lies than his cage could hold.
Secrets.Lies.Pain.
When a relationship is surrounded by mounting dark secrets, is it possible to survive and come out unscathed?

I am a huge fan of this series and Cherry was always one of those characters that I loved because she had no filter, told it like it was and had always been a member of the Devil’s Dust MC. Β I was happy that we were going to get her story….and boy was it one I hadn’t been expecting.
Cherry had a pretty rough start to her adulthood. Β Pregnant in her late teens, child taken away by dirty lawyer, judges and her ex, and her life being threatened led to her run in with Philip “Lip” DeLuca. Β Lip seemed like her savior, helping to make her feel safe and to find a group of people that she came to think of as her family. Β But years later, she discovers something that will shake the foundation of her family and make her question everything.
I loved Cherry. Β I appreciated her attitude after learning how she came to be a part of the Devil’s Dust. Β She would do anything for this group of people who helped her have the first home she’s ever really had. Β Lip was easy to love to, even after his time away and he had a piss poor attitude. Β I wondered, just like Cherry, what had happened to Lip to make him change so much. Β And then when that was revealed, I was broken hearted that he couldn’t readily admit to how he felt and that it took almost losing Cherry to make him fess up.
This series is always gritty, but the characters, no matter what they do, are easy to love. Β You forgive them whatever transgressions they may have because it was in the name of the club and/or the love of their women.
I always look forward to seeing what M. N. Forgy will give us next and I think the spin off series, featuring Lip’s brother’s club in Vegas is going to be pretty awesome. Β If you’ve been looking for a fabulous MC romance series, this is definitely one to pick up.

After he leaves, I open his wallet, reading his name, address, weight. All of it.
βPhillip DeLuca.β I taste his name running off my lips as I trace my finger over his picture. Heβs so handsome. Heβs the kind of guy most people would be afraid of, but not me. I want to get to know him. Lost in a daydream, my car door is yanked open.
βWhere the fuck is it, bitch?β
βWhat?β I shriek as Iβm pulled out of the car and slammed forward onto the hot hood. βI donβt have anything!β I scream, trying to pull free. He shoves me back down on the hood. His hand tangled in my hair.
βDonβt think about moving,β he spits, his tone harsh. I roll my eyes and continue leaning over the hood. My heart slams against my chest in pure panic, and my hands shake. He pulls away and leans in to the car. Within seconds, he finds his wallet. Shit.
He peers at me with a fierce energy in his eyes. The intensity has me pulling off the hood, scared out of my mind.
βYou have some balls,β he mutters, shoving his wallet back in his pocket. His tone is soft and tender suddenly. I turn my head and eye him angrily.
βFuck you.β I cross my arms and lean my hip against the car. My choice of words more confident than Iβm feeling.
He steps up to me and grabs my hips hard with both hands. My skin burns, and my mouth parts with desire. His brown eyes find mine, and his hands yank my body closer to his. I feel like all the air is sucked from my lungs as I search his dark eyes. Placing my hands on his solid chest to steady myself, my palms buzz with excitement.
βYouβd like that, wouldnβt you?β He looks me up and down and leans in close. βYouβd like it if I pushed you over the hood of this car and fucked you βtil your legs gave out.β His words feather against my lips, heβs so close. I hold my breath, willing my body to pull away, but I donβt move. Just when I think heβs going to kiss me, he grabs my hand and pulls it upward. I furrow my brows and watch as he pulls a pen from his back pocket, pulling the cap off with his teeth. He writes his number and the word βLipβ on my hand.
βCall me. Donβt make me come find you, Cherry.β
βCherry?β I ask out loud.
βYour swimsuit,β he yells over his shoulder before starting his bike. I look down at my white shirt noticing my cherry bikini peeking out from the bust line. A smile creeps across my face. I know I shouldnβt like him, but I kind of do. Driving past me, he winks and I swear I sigh like a damn fool.
