Being
a fan of Tillie Cole's Sweet Home series, I have anticipated reading
this book. And it did not disappoint at all. The way the author
intricated Greek Mythology and religious scriptures was flawless in
every way. A story about two people brought up by evil and violence,
this is not a story filled with warm hugs and butterflies.
Styx (River) and Mae's (Salome) story began fifteen years ago during a chance encounter. When they met, something sparked and ever since that day; they have been on each other's mind.
Mae has live inside a religious commune her whole life. Between misery and being bound to be wed to their leader, Prophet David as the seventh wife she wanted and needed to escape. And escape she did, but not easily and she sustained serious bodily harm. Still, she fought her way out and ended up in a dumpster miles away from the place she considers hell.
Styx was the young leader of the mother chapter of Hangmen MC, he's known as the famous Hangmen Mute. Growing up, he had a speech impediment of stuttering. There were only a few number of people he can speak to, including the girl he met years ago with wolf eyes and pale skin. Being a leader of a gang, he had lived his life through violence and handled illegal business.
When the day came and fate finally made them meet each other once more, Styx made sure that he'll protect her even if he denied himself of having her by his side. Despite Styx saying he wasn't the right person for Mae, she still saw goodness in him.
“You have light within you, Styx, and I feel it shining through like the rays of the midday sun. It is beautiful. You are a good man.”
Mae has never loved anyone but ever since all those years ago, she learned that Styx was the only perfect person for her. She belongs and always will belong to him.
“I have only ever liked one boy in my life. I have only ever wanted one man to have as my own. I have only ever had one dream since I was eight. Styx, the dream is you. You stole my heart fifteen years ago and you still haven’t given it back.”
It took a while for Styx to learn from himself that denying his attraction and feelings for Mae will be the death of him. When the time came and he knew that he was sure of his feelings for Mae, he claimed her like the alpha he is.

“I thought you said, ‘it ain’t you who’s meant for me?”
He laughed. He rarely laughed, but when he did, I rejoiced at the sound of it: husky, deep…male. “Oh, it’s me, babe…Ain’t no other man for you...but me.”
The love scenes were off the charts steam and kept me fanning for more. What more do you expect from a gang of bikers right? And a pure and innocent woman that is full of curiosity, that just beats a lot of great sex and love scene perspectives.
There were a lot of parts that made me wonder and doubt about the other characters, in the end something will shock you and make you crave for more. I know I did and knowing Tillie Cole, she'll create other stories about those other characters that will make you anticipate for more. I'll be waiting for those and hopefully she'll give us news about it soon.
“We were always fated to be together. He is my everything. He is my entire world….Styx is my salvation.”
