Hell's Knights by Bella Jewel
4.0

Reading the synopsis of Hell's Knights, it looks like it is going to be just about hot biker sex.

While yes, this is part of it, Addison and Cade's story is so much more.

Addison has had a life that would better be forgotten. Dragged into the world of sex and drugs by of all people her mother, things around her change when she is 21.

Hurt, scarred and alone, but tough as nails, she turns up on the doorstop of the Hell's Knights motorcycle club, where her absent father is the President. She sure is a force to be reckoned with. Sick and tired of always being told what to do, she will take it no more. She is feisty, smart mouthed and full of fire. A couple of times I just wanted to roll my eyes at things she says and does, but with her background her actions are pretty understandable.

Enter Cade - 100% alpha biker male. Rude, crude and tattooed, he is also protective, caring and sweet. He gets what he wants - and he wants Addi.

The more you learn of Addison's past, the more your heart just breaks for her. How could someone who has been so broken get up each day and carry on?

Cade has his own demons he is fighting, however he can't help but be drawn to Addi, and he helps her draw strength from what she has been through, and will do whatever it needs to do to help her move forward.

Some of the secondary characters really stood out from the rest. Jackson, Addison's father, steps up to the plate and goes all papa bear to protect her from club business and her past. Watching his relationship with Addi bloom is heartwarming.

We also learn that a lot of what Addison has been lead to believe about things in her past did not happen as she thought. What a mind F*&k some of those are to her.

And then there is Spike. Nicknamed for reasons you will need to read to find out, he has had tragedy losing his pregnant wife in a horrible. This sets up a lot of the story for book 2 in the series.
