Summary

Innocence marked her.... Violation crippled her.... Love left her raw.... The life she carefully rebuilt is challenged when she is confronted with the sins from her past. The carefully applied protection is at once ripped away, leaving her exposed and vulnerable.

Her single night of indulgence with the silver-eyed stranger is only the beginning. He sees right to the heart of her and she is unable to ward off emotions that have been deeply buried. With the sting of betrayal still fresh in her soul, she's surprised to find herself opening up to the honest integrity of the sharp-eyed, rough-looking biker.

When he lost everyone who mattered, he was left without roots and learned to be content simply living in the moment. Completely unprepared for the feisty blonde bartender with old pain marring her clear-blue eyes, he questions his own rules of detachment, as she unwittingly finds a way under his skin.

Appearances deceive, and when the masks fall away, revealing deep, dark secrets, there is nothing left but to hang onto each other and survive the storm.

This book deals with issues around abuse that might be sensitive to some. Due to content of a sexually explicit nature, this book is recommended for a mature audience only.

Emotional Romance

Book 2 from this series and we have some characters coming into their own. Back to the familiarity of The Skipper Pub, one of places where friends and family get together.... and we learn a more about Viv. Viv ended up in a women's refuge when she made the break from Frank and has been making her own way without brothers getting involved. With Pam’s help, the therapist and the owner of the women's shelter, she works through some of the issues that have run through her life, but there are surprises still to come.....there are some trigger situations in this book, so please be aware.
Viv has worked at the pub for a while...and one night notices a stranger....and indulges in a one night stand...thinking they’ll not meet again. The stranger is Ike a biker, who takes a shine to the feisty blonde bartender and through the book they help each other recover from backgrounds that have made them who they are. The storms and emotions that come to the fore are heart wrenching and the secrets that follow are mind blowing for all the family and friends.
This is as far as I’ll go with this review without giving the plot away, you need to read it yourself to appreciate the storyline. This is another special book from Freya Barker, an author who concentrates on characters who’ve lived a life, sometimes a very hard life, but along the way meet real people who make a difference to them
