Synopsis:
When Blakely Evans’ father was sent to prison for killing her kidnappers, he asked Gideon “Storm” Ayers to watch over her. Two years ago, the Iron Rogues’ Road Captain realized Blakely was the woman who was meant to be his. But she was too young for Storm, so he protected her from afar, waiting for the day when he could finally claim her.

Only before he could come for Blakely, she was kicked out by the foster parents who’d promised him they would take care of her. Believing that Storm had deserted her, she was forced to run to her father’s MC for help.

Now Storm is determined to deliver payback to the people who betrayed her. But his biggest obstacle will be earning back Blakely’s trust.

ARC provided by the author in exchange for my honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Blakely was kidnapped when she was twelve years old and her single dad went to jail. She didn’t have any other family but she Gideon aka Storm. That changed few years ago when he had gotten out of military. She couldn’t understand why he broke his promise.

Gideon planned to go back to her when she turned eighteen but that didn’t happen. He dropped everything the minute he found out what happened with her. I liked how Blakely wasn’t just love struck teenager who forgave him the minute he showed up but made it clear that he wouldn’t be Gideon to her again until she could trust him.

All in all it was nice to get back to this world. I just wish they had dealed more with her trust issues. It’s like they all disappeared when Gideon was back in her life and he didn’t even need grovel much. But thankfully he showed with his actions how much he cared about her and how he wouldn’t let anything between them. This book also made me really exited for Whiskey’s book!
