Deception cuts deep in the next propulsive novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan’s Torpedo Ink motorcycle club series.
The stranger frequenting Azelie Vargas’s local coffee shop is a sight to behold. He’s tall, dark, muscular, and a complete distraction. She’s worried one look from his striking silver eyes will have her acting a fool. But it’s not a look that sets Azelie aflame—it’s the way he boldly tells her every dark, dirty thing he’d like to do to her. She should be scandalized. Instead, all she wants to do is say yes.
Andrii “Maestro” Federoff is in San Francisco on club business. Torpedo Ink needs information to bust up a human trafficking ring, and Maestro has found his mark. After weeks of stealthy observation, he’s not sure if Azelie is involved directly, or if she’s just working for some bad people. What he does know is that he needs to get close to her fast, and soon he can’t get enough.
What began as a setup quickly turns real. But no matter how hot they burn, Maestro’s betrayal could leave their hearts smoldering in the ashes.…
The story is intense and the twist just makes it exciting in its conclusion. Fans are going to love it. ~ Amanda – Simply Love Books
Betrayal Road is the latest in the Torpedo Ink series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Set in San Francisco, Andrii “Maestro” Federoff must persuade a young woman named Azelie Vargas to trust him and help his team take down a crime ring. Her boss is connected with human sex trafficking and Torpedo Ink will do anything to take it down. Maestro is walking a fine line with Azelie because he feels she’s his true match and she might not understand things when she’s being used for their latest mission.
The author upped her A-game when she brings two very scarred individuals who have been betrayed by family, and have them build a relationship on trust. Maestro can be a total dominant, but he called on his gentleness to talk with Azelie, and slowly let her make up her own mind. Watching the give and take of Azelie and Andrii made the story flow and grow because you could feel the care and love he has for her and her protectiveness for him. The mission is carefully executed and the twist at the end was ingenious. I loved watching both the main characters mature emotionally and how Andrii/Maestro used his creative side to express his feelings for Azelie.
