Illicit (Sin City Outlaws Book 4) ~ M.N. Forgy

 Amazon US

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.
