Vixen: by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, Timber-Ghost Montana chapter and OMG this author knows how to write a story that grips you and doesn’t let go. These books can be read as a standalone however once you read one you will want to read more. All these MC romance stories focus on beautiful but broken women and while the steamy scenes are hot and intimate it is the author’s writing and development of the women that really bring these stories to life and make them captivating.
The sister this book focuses on is Vixen. Vixen has had a really traumatic start to life. She was part of the trafficking ring where she was used and abused. She found herself becoming an addict and being used for prostitution, but it gets worse when she falls pregnant, her baby is taken away from her and she doesnt know what has happened to it There is not a day that goes by when she doesn’t think about her baby.While she was in that situation she meets Lucas ‘Ironsides’ Dombranski. As she starts to trust him and believes he is her way to safety he leaves her without a word.

Fast forward 5 years later and Vixen is now part of the MC, a friend from her past contacts her needing help and a way out. Vixen knows what she is going through and wants to help but will she be able to cope with going back into a situation that almost killed her before?
To make matters worse the MC calls the one person Vixen doesn’t want to see in to help her.
When Lucas walks back into her life, after he abandoned Vixen she doesn’t know if she can trust him and all the hurt she buried comes to the surface, however there was a reason for his disappearance that Vixen wasn’t aware of. I can completely understand her feelings of betrayal and hurt when Lucas leaves her to the mercy of her abusive captors.

Now they need to work together to rescue the women who need help. But with the danger of Vixen’s captor lurking in the background wanting to destroy her once and for all, Lucas puts himself forward to protect the woman he loved.
What happens as they work together to save the other women? Can the bridges be rebuild between them? Can Vixen ever forgive him for abandoning her all those years ago?

This story is a dark, gripping and extremely emotional read which is just what i expect from this author. The romance is steamy and intense which is a perfect fit for these women, they love as hard as they fight to protect.
There are definately triggers in this book for some readers which they need to be aware of.
I have to say Vixen is definately one of my favourite characters. Even after everything she has gone through and how destroyed she was, the fact that she has come back and build herself stronger and the fact she is ready to put herself back into the situation that nearly destroyed her to save others really made me love her all the more.
This is another great addition to this series. This author never fails to impress me and leaves me wanting more.
