Goodreads Summary :
Rebelling
against her legacy as the MC's princess, Tru Tennyson escaped the ruthless,
male-dominated culture of the Defiance motorcycle club. Three years later, her
newfound freedom is ripped away, thanks to a massive hybrid storm that killed
millions. Now, in the post-Chaos world of semi-darkness and near-total anarchy
where gangs rule, she discovers the dangerous world of Defiance may be the one
thing that can keep her safe.
Tru is at the MC's mercy when she's dragged back to her former home … and to the only man she's ever pictured a future with. Caspar is the bastard son of the club's leader, her safe haven when life got rough — and her onetime lover the night she left. When Tru refuses to trade sex for power and be claimed by a rival club leader, she also dares to announce she wants Caspar instead, throwing the MC into turmoil.
Tru's brazen revolt could start a gang war and destroy the club from within. Now both Tru and the MC must wait for Caspar's response … and the inevitable fallout.

My Thoughts:
I was really
excited when I was asked to read this book, I am a huge fan of the show Sons of
Anarchy and here is a few of the many reasons why:
so I was hoping that I would enjoy reading this book just as much and I really
did. Stephanie Tyler took the idea of a dystopian world and combined it with
the world of the Defiance motorcycle club and I was sucked into the story
immediately.
The world is
different now after the Chaos, it was a giant storm that changed the world and
killed millions of people. The sun can't even get to the Earth anymore except
for a few hours a day. But, the Defiance
motorcycle club has always been prepared for these types of disasters. Formed
from two former Navy members they made their money selling underground tubes
that kept their club and their families save during the Chaos storms and has
made them a lot of money in the post apocalyptic world. Tru was the MC princess
that is before she left, her dad was Lance the leader of the club's right hand
man, his enforcer. Tru was promised to Lance's son Silas and together they were
supposed to lead the club in the future. But, Tru's dad didn't 't keep the
violence out of his home and she finally escaped from him and the club.
But, now she's back after her father's death, she back for the one guy
who she has always really wanted
Caspar, the president of the clubs bastard son and together they are
going to show the whole club what it means now that they can finally be
together.
Tru's
character was definitely strong but, with growing up in the shadow of a
motorcycle club there really isn't much of a way that she couldn't be strong,
but even after returning and causing a
lot of chaos and turmoil in the club and for the club she didn't back down from
what she wanted and she wasn't afraid to finally take what is her 's. Caspar
feels the same way about Tru that she feels about him but, he is more afraid to
show it, he doesn't want to get hurt and he knows her M.O. when things get hard
she runs away and he doesn't want to be left alone without her. So as much as
he wants to get lost with Tru he was hesitant and made her earn her spot next
to him.
Sometimes
the plot seemed so similar to Sons of Anarchy, just smaller things that I
noticed since I have watched every seasons, that disappointed me a bit but, I
was still glued to the story. This one is a New Adult read so it was definitely
steamy in all the right places but, not too overdone, exactly what you would expect
from a motorcycle club. One of the things that made me so happy was that Tru
wanted to change the way women were seen in the club, she wanted them to be
able to have jobs and be stronger than they were and not just used and controlled by the men,
of course I am all for women empowerment.
Overall, I
really enjoyed reading Defiance and
with Sons of Anarchy on hiatus but,
returning at the beginning of next month this book gave me my fix and I am
definitely curious to see where Tyler takes the series next!
