Love it!!
Hammer and Dex's are a perfect match (grumpy/sunshine). And I just love everything about DeX. I would always tear up whenever his self esteem was his issue or whenever someone else made him feel so horrible. The sex is great. Wish I had a little more detail with the orgy. And wish there was more to the epilogue. It didn't really give to much of their future. Overall great book. And great book cover.

This book is a long read and by the end I had nearly forgotten the beginning because it takes you on one big adventure. This book will be no good to you if you are squeamish and not a lover of blood because a lot of blood is spilt and as the story unravels you become quite immune to barbaric violence and bloody deaths; it almost feels normal just another day in the life of these two MC's. Dex is a wound spring who bounces around never sure which direction he will go. He brings fun and chaos to the story. Hammer is a strong and clever character who is intense and focused. Dex definitely brings Hammer's sexy side out. The sex is intense and rough, and hot to read; no skimping on details. This story is centered around a motorcycle club, but due to an incident the majority of the story is focused on the two main characters. This book was well written, held my interest and the characters were great. It's a 5 star read, but only if you can normalise the violence whilst reading it. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Dex is one of those people who light up a room. He's personable, a bit of a himbo, and always ready to make someone laugh. Another thing he's always ready for is a good dickin. I don't think I've ever read a book with an MC who loves to be used as much as him. Thankfully, all the sex in this one was consensual. I'm not a big fan of full stop noncon and since there was no TW for that I felt safe going in.
Hammer was a dark man. But his darkness matched up perfectly with Dex's light. On paper they sound ridiculous, but in reality they sort of balanced each other out. Dex made Hammer smile more and never caused him to feel judged for his kinks and interests like many others. He helped make him more approachable. For Dex, Hammer was a firm hand to help him focus. He too never judged Dex for his issues. And it also helped the man liked to fuck just as much as him.
There is plenty of filthy sex to be devoured in this book if you haven't already guessed from my review so far. However, and it pains me to say this, but I have to agree with many of my fellow reviewers. This book was way too long.

Ok, so this was absolutely BONKERS… and I loved it.
Only KAM can give you warped MC’s and an even more warped story and make it work every damn time.
Both Dex and Hammer are great characters to follow, and together they just work so well. They’re both disturbed, dangerous and downright dirty. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have their sweet moments that positively make you melt.
Sweet baby Dex is a motormouth, a scatterbrain and an absolute bimbo. Seriously, I love this kid. Dex comparing sex to pizza (and throw in a hot dog) was a literary masterpiece.
Hammer (aka Shakespeare) is a surprisingly caring guy who just happens to enjoy cracking people open with a sledgehammer. I mean, what more could you want?!
D!ckhead was the perfect type of wild ride; I demolished this. Do yourself a favor and go into this with zero expectations and just enjoy it for what it is - pure chaos.
In the words of Dex, I have “NO REGERTS!!1”

Gritty, dark romance with incredibly original, fascinating MCs. I loved how unexpected Hammer and Dex both were. The farther along we get in the story, the more they reveal of themselves. Peeling back the superficial layers of accident-prone himbo and scary MC enforcer. Was there ever an unlikelier pair? They grow closer in less than romantic circumstances, to say the least, but it works for them. Hammer’s journey of self-discovery, especially with regards to his bisexuality, was so well-written. I loved that it was gradual and not something he just jumped into without any self-reflection. He surprised me with how accepting and open to new experiences he was. He is a dangerous man, but he feels safe enough with Dex to be vulnerable and try new things, which leads to genuinely heartwarming moments. Dex is very earnest and has a positive outlook on life, even with everything he’s gone through. At times I wanted to shake some sense into him; at others I was so impressed or wanted to give him a hug… I really needed him to get his HEA.
I fully expected to love this story, but I was still amazed at exactly how much. And at how surprisingly touching and sweet Dex and Hammer are together, admittedly amongst all the blood and gore, violence and danger. The character development in this story is next level. There’s so much to unravel and learn. And so many scrapes to get out of! Oh my poor nerves... Excellent pacing and suspense, which raised my heartbeat to uncomfortable heights!
Recommend!
