A brotherhood who would fight, protect, and give their lives for one another. A club whose ties ran thicker than blood, murkier than the dirt and grime that tainted my soul. Stronger than the bonds that connected me to my own family.
A band of brothers, where loyalty was kept and paid in a currency of blood.
When I was twenty-seven, I betrayed that brotherhood.
I’ve spent every day since running, avoiding paying back that debt.
My name is Daniel Johnson. I have betrayed everyone I ever loved.
And I’ll betray her too.
This is my story—if you’re screwed up enough to want to read it.

Kick is not a love story filled with hearts and flowers. It's raw, gritty, harsh and just...just wow!
Daniel Johnson, aka, Kick, is one serious hot-head and bad ass. He's lived a rough life and he lives with betrayal and regret. He may be with the Savage Saints MC, but that doesn't mean he's always had protection of his brothers. His past continues to haunt him.
In comes Indie. Indie is beyond broken--she's been through some horrific ordeal and for some reason, Kick has it in him to save her. But it's not the typical way of how a person saves someone who is broken. Kick may come off as insensitive, but deep down he cares.
Kick goes from past to present, which made the story flow seamlessly. This book takes you on a wild, hard-to-swallow ride and the scenes are horrible and graphic, but it goes with the story. There is no other way to tell this story. Ms. Jenner did a great job on keeping me on the edge of my seat and cringing at some parts. Kick and Indie eventually find their own HEA, but getting there was no easy.
Looking forward in more to this series.

I take a deep shuddering breath, close my eyes and stretch
my hand towards him. His touch is gentle this time, far more gentle than I’d
ever thought someone with so much uncontained violence to him could be.
“Spread your fingers,” he commands. I do, and he lifts the
roll of tape, presses the edge to my skin and begins winding it over my
knuckles. I close my eyes. The strident sound of it stretching out from the
roll makes me want to flee. It makes me want to run as far from his touch—from
any man’s touch—as I can possibly get.
The feel of the tape against my flesh, binding, holding,
is so much worse. I tug on my hand, but he won’t let go. My heartrate
skyrockets, and sweat beads erupt over my brow and upper lip. I’m in that room
again, struggling, screaming, trying to fight them off, and failing.
Biker knows it,
too. His dark eyes challenge, they dare me to run, but they also implore me to
stay. It’s ironic that the only thing keeping me here, keeping me grounded, is
the man who abducted me.
He holds my gaze. I don’t know exactly what is hidden in
his dark blue one, but it suffocates the panic within me, douses it like water
flooding flames. He bends his head to my hand. Taking the paper tape in his
mouth, he rips it with his teeth.
I still. I soften. His gaze doesn’t leave mine, not even
once. Not even when he starts in on my wrist, gently biting through each piece
of tape before pressing it down with his rough hands. I’m mesmerised by his
mouth, the piercing, and the soft, full lips. The light catches a silver chain
around his neck, something I’ve never noticed before—but then I try not to make
a habit of staring too closely at him. Not now, though. Now I watch every
twitch, every blink, every intake of breath, and every inch that is swallowed
up by his mouth moving closer to my flesh.
