Dante's Demons by K. L. Barstow is a story of romance and vengeance. When a half-dead woman is found near the entrance to a motorcycle club, the members swear to find out who brutalized her and give him a fitting punishment. The president of the club, Dante, finds out the victim's sister, Tally, is a doctor and has her brought to the club to care for her sister. Tally and Dante meet, and sparks fly as they can't keep their eyes off each other. Dante finds a new obsession in Tally, and she can't help but feel attracted to Dante. Tally, who was brought in against her will, is reasonably upset with Dante, but that isn't enough to stop the attraction they feel as their relationship develops alongside the search for the rapist.

This book was enticing from start to finish. I found myself fascinated in seeing the characters follow leads to try and find the man who attacked Tally's sister and several other women. The members of the club worked diligently to uncover the serial rapist and bring about their own brand of justice. My favorite part was seeing how each member used their specific skill set to do their part to find the rapist. They also embraced Tally and her sister, showing their loyalty to anyone considered to be family, even if they had only known them for a few days.

The pacing of the book followed the urgency of the plot. There were no points where I felt like there wasn't something happening that advanced either the case or Tally and Dante's developing relationship. I can think of nothing that I didn't like about it. I also only spotted a few errors throughout the book, so I believe it was professionally edited.

I am happy to rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. Barstow created a sense of tension and urgency from the first page the continued to the last. It's not a particularly long book either, so it's perfect for a rainy afternoon or day at the beach.

There is strong language and erotic scenes; it is only suitable for adult readers. It should not be read by those who dislike sexual content, as there are several erotic scenes in the book. There are also instances of rape and sexual harassment, which might be triggering for some readers. However, readers that enjoy vigilante justice and romance should highly consider reading this book.

Romances and Especially erotic scene are not my cu of tea, so I don’t think this is for me. I do, however, like that the members of the motorcycle club become so attached so quickly.

I like how Dante is brought out as a dominant character and Tally is the damsel in distress and just like that she has a protective guy at her side not to forget the romance is epic ,I enjoy and really do like the book Kudos to Barstow

Demon Dawgs Pres has a special place in my heart! The heat between Dante and Tally is intense. I'm on book 3 now and cannot put it down. There is something about these bikers that keeps you hooked into their world.

The cover of the book got me! wow!  :lol:  What a great review. I don't think this book is my cup of tea, though, due to the violence and rape scenes that you mentioned. I tend to like my romance novels more "fluffy."

I was absolutely blown away by the depth and complexity of the characters in this book review. The author has created a dark and twisted world that is both fascinating and terrifying, and the story seems to be full of unexpected surprises that will leave one reeling.

I must admit that the cover of the book drew my attention immediately. But I'm not into the stories of sexual abuses. Your review is very impressive and interesting.
