Amy Abrams doesn’t do love. Nor does she do emotional attachments, unless you count the connection she has with designer handbags. She grew up in an Upper East Side penthouse, which had about as much affection within its tastefully decorated walls as Castle Dracula. Her family is the precise reason why she points her red-soled heels firmly in the opposite direction of that dreaded four-letter word.
Then it happens. Love. It comes right out of the blue and knocks her off her six-inch heels. She learns that love comes with pesky side effects such as heartbreak, which seriously messes with the complexion. Amy promises herself that she’ll never open herself to that horrible feeling again. She doesn’t count on an infuriating, albeit drool-worthy biker to roar into her life and ruin the plans she had of locking up her heart. She keeps her distance, wary of the sinfully sexy biker whose tattoos should read Warning - dangerous alpha male, will screw up your life.
Amy may be an Upper East Side princess but she wasn’t looking for Prince Charming. She wouldn’t mind the name of his hair stylist, though. Brock certainly isn’t a knight in shining armor, but he consumes her, body and soul. Drama pulls them apart; danger will bring them back together. When Amy is threatened Brock is there ready to save her life. Her heart is another story.

This book gutted me. I'd been looking forward to it. I literally started it straight after reading the first, but I have to say it did disappoint a little. I found it dragged and was a little boring in places. But that is just me. It could be due to the fact I did read them one after the other, I don't know.
Amy, the serious, funny, sassy best friend of Gwen's has a hard choice to make. In the first book we see a dilemma between Gwen's brother, Ian and Brock. Both badasses in their own way but on different sides of the law.
Amy loved Ian fiercely, but he chose leaving, going back to war over her and told her she didn't matter, pushing her away. He didn't want her to wait. But then he comes back as you know and it all ends in disaster.
The first books ends with us not knowing who she chose, but deep down I always knew who it was going to be.
I also understood her decision in not saying anything to Brock, or to Gwen. She didn't want anyone hurt and felt like she was betraying them in some way. She did what she thought was expected of her and ends up getting kidnapped by one of her fathers associates.
It then flickers back and forth between the present and the past and it was kind of annoying. I felt like I had gotten the gist of what Amy's and Brocks relationship was like. It felt like I was reading the first book all over again. Another reason I think I found it so boring at times.
I was happy when it stayed in the present. As always, Brock doesn't let his woman out of his sight. He's another 'you're mine' alpha male. But poor Brock has his hands full with the sassy woman, because she fights back.
