"For fractured souls are like magnets.
Drawn to collide into an impossible bliss…"
Labeled a ‘Cursed’ woman of Eve from birth, Maddie has endured nothing but pain and repression at the hands of The Order’s most abusive elder, Moses. Now living with her sister in The Hangmen’s secluded compound, finally, Maddie, is free. Free from the suffocating faith she no longer believes in. Free from endless years of physical and mental torment.
Just… free…
At age twenty-one, the timid and shy Maddie is content to live within the confines of her new home—safe from the outside world, safe from harm and, strangely, protected by the Hangmen’s most volatile member; the heavily pierced and tattooed, Flame.
Flame.
The man who ceaselessly watches over her with his midnight dark and searing eyes. The man who protects her with a breath-taking intensity. And the man who stirs something deep within her numbed heart.
But when circumstances conspire for Flame to need HER help, Maddie bravely risks it all for the broken man who has captivated her fragile soul.
The Hangmen’s most infamous member, Flame, is ruled by one thing—anger. Plagued by haunting demons from his past, an all-consuming rage, and isolated by an abhorrent hatred of being touched, Flame's days are filled with suffocating darkness, pierced only by a single ray of light—Maddie. The shy, beautiful woman he cannot purge from his thoughts. The woman he has an overwhelming need to possess…
... the only person who has ever been able to touch him.
Flame’s mission in life is to protect Maddie, to keep her safe. Until a trigger from his troubled past sends him spiraling into madness, trapping him in the deepest recesses of his disturbed mind.
His Hangmen brothers fear that Flame is beyond saving.
His only hope of salvation: Maddie and her healing light.
My opinion:
Flame met Maddie the day they went to save Mae from the Order. He killed the man who was rapping her and she thanked him. After that he sweared noone would hurt her, because she was his. Present day: When Flame learned that Maddie was going to a church he thought that those people would hurt and he was going to save her. He went there and with his brothers he took her back home. That night a young girl that escaped from the commune went to the clubhouse looking for the three "Sisters". Meanwhile Cain and the rest were making a plan on how to destroy the Hangmen. A few days later Flame went with his brothers on a run and that's when he lost it for good. Maddie decided that it was her time to try to save him. It was working she was making him feel better. And for the first time in years he slept for hours. Days had passed, they talked about their past and they finally hold each other and kissed. But the next day everything was ruined, the Order had taken the girls back. Cain let them go, a few hours later the Hangmen went and found their women. Flame was happy that was reunited with Maddie. He still couldn't let his self to be happy like Maddie did. He had unfinished business with his past and he was going to take care of them. There, a surprise was waiting for him. After that Flame was happy with his wife.
Every one of these stories are so unique, even though the victims past is almost the same. Some characters are more gullible than the others which makes it more difficult for them to see the truth. In this story the roles are reversed since Maddie is the one who is helping Flame get over his fears. He was so damaged because of his stupid father and his church. I liked the part where Cain/Rider finally understood that The Order isn't what he thought and i hope we get to have his book.
My favourite lines:
1)“So that’ll be a yes. A huge fucking yes to the extreme makeover, Krueger edition.”
2)“Anaconda, my ass,” Tank said from across the table. “It’s a fucking worm at best.”
