Katie Ashley continues her Vicious Cycle series with Redemption Road. Nathaniel β€œReverend” Malloy is charged with helping Annabel Percy, who unfortunately got the short end of the deal when she hooked up with a biker. Reverend knows all too well how to help heal her, and spends his time trying to make sure she is protected and safe. She enters the world of a different set of bikers while hiding out for the man who seeks to aim her.

It was hard not to love Reverend, who’s taken on the role of protector for his whole family. He does so without complaint, and it was easy to see the love shining through. This protection extends to Annabel, who was a pleasant surprise to me. She showed a strength despite everything she went through, and was thankful to those who helped her, regardless of who they were. There was an element of suspense, which I loved, and for the most part it was a great story. The only issue is that it didn’t read like a MC book, so there wasn’t the grittiness that one would come to expect. Also, there was a part in the prologue that truly upset me and wasn’t a necessary element of the story, and almost made me put the book down and not read anymore so just be aware that the prologue is not a safe read.
