I think this book has to be my favourite of the series so far. The chemistry between King and Rae the love the acceptance all of it just made my heart happy. 

This book is previewed in a bonus epilogue for the previous instalment. I was shocked at the set-up and the couple, immediately grabbing the ebook to devour. The series is overlapping in plot and well-woven to the point that I feel like I would have enjoyed this less if I had not read the previous books and met these two messy and delicious characters.

From the moment that King shows up in Michigan to kidnap Rae, he doesn't know what he's done. On the surface, I understood his thinking and even if it wasn't the best of character traits, it opened the door to one of the most fun books I've read in a while. Rae isn't going down without a fight and is 1000 times as smart as the whole club ... plus all the therapist evaluations and Shakespeare quotes framed her as not-your-typical ol' lady.

So excited to continue, even though the next book isn't someone I really want to read about, because the author is keeping me on my toes.

The Queen puts King in Check

The Bonds We Break was an emotional ride. This story was very character driven. As usual, Scarlett Cole's writing centers amazing character arcs. This book in the Iron Outlaws MC series focused on the President of the club, Uther "King" Hills and his quest for revenge. The sting of betrayal, coupled with the pressure to lead, sends King down a dark road. Rae Miller seems like the perfect path for vengeance. When King kidnaps Rae, he gets way more than he bargained for.

Rae is an intelligent, strong, loyal, and determined individual. She uses her skills as a psychologist to her advantage when interacting with others, especially King. The tension between King and Rae is all-encompassing; it's physical, sexual, and emotional. The road to vengeance usually leads to destruction, but for King, it leads to redemption. The emotions in this story run high for both main characters. Together, they learn to heal and love. I am so ready to read the next installment of this series! It keeps getting more twisted and beautiful.
