Review
This book hooked me from the very first page! The author doesn’t waste any time setting a quick pace right from the beginning. “What Doesn’t Destroy Us” is a fairly gritty read and is not MC “lite” by any means. The Devil’s Dust bikers deal in drugs and arms and have no problem taking out anyone who gets in there way! If you don’t like rough, tough and bossy alpha males, then this is not the book for you!
Dani has grown up completely sheltered. Her mother is super strict and has had a short leash on her since she was born. Dani’s entire world changes when her mom whisks her off in the middle of the night and moves her into the Devils Dust MC clubhouse where her estranged father, Bull, is President. When she first lays eyes on the clubs Sargent-At-Arms, Shadow, it is lust at first sight. Her new companions are very different then what she is used to but the more time Dani spends here, the more it starts to feel like home.
Shadow has always had it tough. Growing up in a broken home, he ended up in a juvenile detention centre at a young age and his future did not look very bright. Bull and the Devil’s Dust MC saved Shadow and he is at his happiest living the outlaw lifestyle. When Dani suddenly shows up it throws Shadow for a loop. He can’t seem to get her out of his head but making the moves on the President’s daughter is a big no-no and could lead to a bullet in the head!
The chemistry between these two is electric and the sex was super-hot! I really liked Dani. Despite her stifling upbringing she is sweet and caring but at the same time, tough enough to stand up for herself. I went back and forth with Shadow. He seemed to have a split personality. Sometimes, he was really sweet and caring but then could flip into major asshole territory. There was a little bit of a lull near the end of the book and I found myself waiting for something to pick up. I didn’t have to wait too long though because shit hit the proverbial fan and I was left with a major cliffhanger! I am not usually a big fan of cliffies but this one was pretty epic and I can’t wait for the next book because I really have no idea what is going to happen next!
