*****4.5 Stars*****
I'm so torn between 4 and 5 stars with this book, that I feel the only solution is to award 4.5 stars.
Whilst this book is certainly not the greatest MC book I've read, there is a quality about it that dragged me into the story and tugged at my heart strings from beginning to end.
This is the first in a new series by Katie Ashley and tells the story of Deacon, the sergeant at arms for the Hell Raiders MC and Alexandra, a Kindergarten teacher.
The story begins from Willow's (Deacons 5 year old daughter) point of view and it was from this moment I knew the book would be a great one. More often than not, if an author throws an incredibly, adorable, cute, pink tutu wearing child into the mix, I'm a goner and usually a sobbing mess by the end.
Not only that, but Alexandra was such a warm and caring person, she was the perfect contrast to Deacon and his MC life. Now despite Alex's seemingly perfect carefree life, don't assume that she is your damsel in distress type. This woman had balls of steel and I guess she'd have to in order to put up with those Deacon and the Hell Raiders.
Talking of Deacon, he was your typical 'I don't need a woman for anything but sex' kind of guy, but when Willow and Alex together are thrown into the mix, his world is literally turned upside down.
Now whilst this book may not have blown me away in the sense that it was different to any other MC book I've read, what it did do and what Katie Ashley is so damn good at, is turning a book featuring rough and violent characters into an incredibly emotional read and I simply can't wait to read more.

New York Times bestselling author Katie Ashley revs up the danger and sexual tension in her brand-new Vicious Cycle romance series.
Deacon Malloy’s life is dedicated to the Hell’s Raiders motorcycle club. Tough, hard, and fast with his fists, he serves the group as sergeant at arms. But his devil-may-care approach to life is thrown for a loop when the five-year-old daughter he never knew existed lands on the club steps.
Alexandra Evans is devoted to all her students—but there’s always been something about Willow Malloy that tugs at her heart. There’s an aura of sadness about her, a girl in need of all the love Alexandra can give. When Willow stops coming to school, Alexandra’s search leads to a clubhouse full of bikers…and a father hell-bent on keeping his daughter always within sight.
The moment Deacon sees Alexandra, he has to have her in his bed—and he’s never met a woman yet who couldn’t be persuaded. No matter how attracted she is to Deacon, Alexandra refuses to be just another conquest. But it’s Deacon himself who could be seduced—into a brighter future for himself, his daughter, and the woman he’s falling for against all odds.
