Marek (Knights Corruption MC #1) By S.Nelson
With the weight of the club on his shoulders, Cole Marek, president of the Knights Corruption MC, had only one choice:
Turn their livelihood legit.
Everything was falling into place until one unexpected, fateful night. With an attack on his fellow brothers, Marek had no choice but to retaliate against their sworn enemy.
The Savage Reapers.
Swarming their compound, he comes face-to-face with the infamous daughter of his rival club, making an astonishing decision which would change his life forever.
She was the enemy.
She was the prize.
She was a game changer.
Sully Brooks led a desolate life, her entire existence dictated first by her father, then by the man who’d claimed her when she was only fourteen. Years of abuse shaped her into the woman she became, but she longed for something more. Craving an existence where she was free to live a life of simplicity, she wanted release from the harsh realities she’d known since childhood.
Will her prayers be answered when the enemy strikes?

I'm literally struggling on how to explain this book, so I hope I manage to explain it the best I can, so you understand. I'll probably ramble a bit so bare with me.
Marek is the president of the Knights MC and he wants to turn their lively hood legit. Yes, legit.
To me, it felt like the author wanted Marek and his brothers to come across noble, but with a roughness only an outlaw can only inspire. As much as I would love to say the author pulled this off, I can't.
Marek and his brothers were... unhinged? I don't know how to explain it. They wanted everyone to know how much they didn't give a fuck and how bad they were, but sounded like complete dicks. Sorry, but they did. They were always trying to get the upper hand, putting themselves on a peddle-stall. As much as they wanted to clean their act together, they needed to clean up their attitude more.
"She's my wife, it's her duty to give it up" .... things like this were constantly coming out of his mouth and it made me sick. Especially since he supposedly didn't condone rape etc.
(More on this subject below, let me explain a little about Sully, the main female heroine.)
Sully has been raised by a rival MC, one that makes the worst criminals look like mikey blooming mouse. Seriously, they were disgusting, degrading, vile, and made me throw up in my mouth sick.
She was not only raped by her father for most her life, but he then gave her away to a club member, one who was simply crazy. Crazy in, off his bloody rocker, crazy. Now, the author did these characters justice. She wanted sick and twisted, she got it. She wrote it to the point, I gagged. Anyway, not only does she lived a life with this brother, repeatedly beaten, raped, and degraded.
She explains some of the things that happened to her by his hands to Marek in this book, and I literally had to skip it because it got too much for me and I've read some dark shit. It broke my heart knowing she went through it with him.
The only serious, detailed to the point I had to skim through it, was a rape scene where her dad and partner pass her off to a client unwillingly. It's near the beginning of the book, so if your sensitive like I am, I'd recommend skipping it.
Now, Sully is kidnapped by Marek and although she doesn't see it as a blessing, it truly is compared to what she was living with day in and day out. At the time though, she's scared, she's worried and she's waiting for them to strike her, to rape her every moment.
Marek does nothing to reassure her. No, the fucker marry's her instead for payback. She's forced into something else, another choice taken away from her.
Back to what I was saying above about Marek and his little comments. They seem to become closer as the book progresses and although they spend little time together you can feel the connection between the two. But he ruins it by his bloody mouth.
After (insert sexual activity) to Sully, he has the nerve to be angry when she won't have sex with him. He's like, oh, you'll let me.... but you won't return the favour?
He gets so mad at her. I mean, literally, crazy mad and he does this even knowing everything she had been through.
If the character Marek had been more of a better character I would have enjoyed this book more and loved them together. But, after finishing it, I still don't feel like Sully is getting the ending she deserves. He may love her, but he loves himself more.
