Love this whole series. Espically love the story of breezy and Steele and their second chance of love.
I especially like that this is not your typical MC romance story, it is dark, second chances, development within the characters and with a touch of fantasy

4.5 Intense and Thrilling Stars!!
Talk about a story that just consumes you. Breezy and Steele’s story is utterly captivating. It hooks you from the very beginning and is just impossible to put down.
Breezy and Steele’s love affair is a complicated one. You see, the life that Breezy grew up in was terrible. Absolutely horrible. She was treated like the lowest of the low and the only saving grace in her life was Steele. The moment Steele came into the picture and claimed Breezy for his own, Breezy finally got a taste of good. All was going well with these two until the day came that Steele had to break her heart. And he didn’t just break it, he crushed it. But, I promise you, he had his reasons for hurting Breezy. Did they suck? Absolutely. But when you love someone as much as Steele loved Breezy, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do to save the woman he loved. 3 years will pass before these former lovers will be reunited and so much has changed. An old threat has Breezy seeking out the man who destroyed her heart and the life she once put behind her. And once Steele lays his eyes on his woman after all that time….All bets are off. He’s playing for keeps this time and won’t stop until Breezy is right back where she belongs….
Vengeance Road is a complicated, dark and intense read. Some passages were really hard to get through and just left your mind spinning. Many times I found myself wondering how Steele and Breezy were able to rise about their pasts and become better people. It just totally blew my mind. Their lives should have been an overwhelming mess, but somehow they were able to make some positive out of all the pain.
Now, I will be the first to tell you, these characters are frustrating. Like rip your hair out, scream at your kindle frustrating. After the home Breezy grew up in, she wanted absolutely nothing to do with the MC life. She had a lot of judgement when it came to the Torpedo Ink, and rightfully so. But, her time away from Steele forced her to grow up and depend on herself, not a man. She had a lot of reservations about Steele and definitely put him through the paces before even considering letting him back into her heart. And Steele….man oh man is he complicated. He’s gruff. He’s possessive. He’s controlling and one determined man. His relationship with Breezy was definitely a complicated one and could be seen as toxic by some. Due to the things he endured in his past, I could understand his insane need to protect and watch over Breezy. Did it make crazy? Sure did. But, when you learn about all the demons he’s battling it just somehow makes sense. Somehow this crazy relationship just works. It’s not for me, but who am I to judge? At the end of the day, Breezy and Steele just mesh well together. They get one another in a way that no one else can and I honestly think that they are the only ones who could handle the complicated mess of their lives. I loved that Breezy wasn’t easy on Steele. She made him work and show her that he’s a changed man and that she is the woman that he wants.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. Vengeance Road is filled with lots of passion, angst, drama and danger. This story will put you heart through the ringer and will have your eyes glued to the pages. I loved the characters, even if they did frustrate me at times. I loved the grittiness of the story-line and being kept on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Steele and Breezy. Vengeance Road is a terrific addition to the Torpedo Ink Series. It gave me everything I was looking for in an MC Romance. It was dark. It was complicated. There was a ton of shock and danger. There was of course, romance. And some seriously sexy good times. This book definitely hit all the marks for me and I’m excited to see where this series is going to go next!

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but this one was not great. I just found the tone of the whole book a bit dirty (not the fun kind), graphic (also not the fun kind), and boo-hooy. I hate to say it, but most of the time I was kind of grossed out by the two main characters.

Nach dem der erste Teil der Highway Reihe so Lala war, wollte ich unbedingt den zweiten Teil, in der Hoffnung, dass er besser war, lesen. Auch wenn die Übersetzung dieses Mal viel besser war, war das Buch eine Katastrophe… Die Handlung an sich hat mir gut gefallen und auch der Schreibstil von Christine Feehan konnte mich wieder begeistern. Doch sie hat einfach so viel Potenzial verschenkt. Ich liebe ihre Karpatinaner und Shadows Reihe, aber die Highway Reihe kommt einfach nicht an diese ran.
Die Charaktere waren sehr unterschiedlich. Mache waren komplex und hatte Tiefe, andere blieben blass und unscheinbar. Steele war ein Charakter den ich eigentlich relativ gut mochte. Er war der typische Alphamacho und er wollte das immer alles nach seiner Meinung ging. Das ist generell in Ordnung, wenn so ein Mann ein taffes Gegenstück hat. Und da ging es dann den Bach runter. Breezy hat grundsätzlich ein unglaubliches Potenzial und die ersten 120 Seiten mochte ich sie sehr, aber dann verwandelt sie sich in eine sexbesessene, rückgratlose, Ja und Amen Sagerin… Sie betont die ganze Zeit wie stark und unabhängig sie geworden ist, aber sobald Steele ankommt und was von ihr will, wird sie zu einer Frau die keine Rückgrat hat. Das gilt nicht nur für den Sex (da stört es mich auch nicht wirklich), sondern auch für alle anderen Entscheidungen in ihrem Leben. Ich habe noch nie einen weiblichen Hauptcharakter erlebt, der so wenig Rückgrat hat. Nach etwa der Hälfte hätte ich das Buch am liebsten gegen die Wand geworfen.
Ich weiß einfach nicht, ob ich diese Reihe weiterlesen will. Das ist einfach nicht das, was ich von Christine Feehan normalerweise gewohnt bin… Wer ihre anderen Reihen mochte, sollte hier liebe die Finger von lassen. Erspart euch die Enttäuschung.
Ich kann leider keine Empfehlung geben.

Y'all... this was just a BIG NO. I'm all for second chance romance and the surprise baby tropes but, this was not good. How did he not know she was underage?! Like seriously!!! These guys are suppose to know everything and he goes puts his dick in something he shouldn't.
Just to clarify this takes place three years in the past and she comes to Torpedo Ink to notify him that his son is in danger. After this I'm going to try to make it through Desolation Road and be done with CF books. They're just not for me.
Trigger Warnings: abuse: emotional, physical, and child; blood, gore, graphic injuries, , rape, sexual abuse, sexual assault, sexual violence, pedophilia, trauma, PTSD, murder, death, violence, gunshots, gun violence, and physical assault
