I’m an animal, a
member of the Sin City Outlaws motorcycle club that isn't capable of human
compassion. So I’ve been told anyway.
Raven is my club’s
prisoner. I’ve been ordered to break her. It should be easy given my violent
history. But being this close to a woman—this woman—for the first time in a
long time, is like sharing company with the demon Lilith herself.
She’s my perfect toy.
Filled with a dark rage. Blessed with perfected beauty. Sinfully sweet and
wickedly divine. Everything about her solicits the demons inside me
I want to hear her
screams. I want those big, dark eyes looking up at me—silently begging me for
mercy. I want to be her heaven…and her hell.
My desire for her is
forbidden. My infatuation is illicit. I’m betraying my club.
And if the wage of my
sin is death, then this woman is going to get me killed.
First looking at the
cover, I thought, that man is HOT! Then to read Machete’s story, MN could not
have picked a better cover model. He looks like I imagined Machete and there
are times I have shied away from the cover of a book, because I like to keep an
idea how a character looks in my own mind. But this cover nailed it.
Illicit is raw, gritty
and at times, downright disturbing. Therefore, I really enjoyed it. Machete and
Raven are both their own kind of “F”ed up, but you can’t help hoping they can
heal each other. Right from the beginning you can see these two wanting each
other, but know it’s forbidden. The lust shines in each of their eyes when the
other is near, but they are not fooling any one. Some can see the way they look
at each other.
Machete can’t have
Raven because he would be betraying the Sin City outlaws. Raven can’t want Machete
because she would betray Cross. The desire and “what ifs” kept me reading and
hoping they gave in to their feelings. The guilt and pain these two felt from
their own issues and desire for each other is palpable.
M.N did an excellent
job writing these two characters and keeping me sucked in to the story. I
really like this series from her and cannot wait for the next one.
