A broken man finds a woman worth living for in the new novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan’s Torpedo Ink motorcycle club series.
Kir “Master” Vasiliev doesn’t care whether he lives or dies. He’s a burnt-out shell with no one and nothing but his club. Whatever Torpedo Ink needs, Master will put himself in harm’s way time after time. If he doesn’t make it back, he’s certain everyone will move on just fine.
Investment banker Ambrielle Moore knows her own mind, and she’s not willing to settle for anyone. So when a second-rate gangster and his thugs try to coerce her into marriage—and giving up all of her family’s money—she’s having none of it. Until they turn to cold-blooded murder.
Grieving and enraged, Ambrie is ready to go scorched earth on her captors when Master shows up anticipating a damsel in distress. But Ambrie is nothing like he expected, and everything he never knew he desired....


Recovery Road is the eighth installment in Christine Feehan’s Torpedo Ink series. If you enjoy reading Motorcycle Club Romances with dark themes and a paranormal twist to it, then this series should be added to your TBR immediately. Fair warning: you may want to check your triggers before reading this series because what the MC members endured when they were younger, which Christine Feehan mentions in each book and what they are currently fighting for, is not for the faint of heart. 

This time, readers get Kir “Master” Vasiliev’s book, and this guy has been through a lot. He’s also been the most mysterious of them, so I was anxious to read his book, finally. He’s the only MC member who has a record, and he’ll do anything for his club, even if it means he’ll never come back to the club alive. His life changes, though, when he rescues Ambrielle Moore, who is being forced into a marriage she doesn’t want, especially after that person murdered her parents. Master will do anything to keep Ambrielle safe, even if it means marrying her. 

Ambrielle is not your typical damsel in distress. She’s going to want to be a part of the actions and decisions that are made to get revenge for her parents, and I loved her character because of that. Yes, she may have gotten herself into some predicaments, but she managed. I’ve always loved FMCs who fight back and also give the MMC a hard time, too. Ambrielle made it known to Master several times that she was there with him along the way, and she wasn’t leaving him. 

I felt for Master because he never felt like anyone cared, which is why he was okay with his decisions of either going to prison or never coming back alive. It took someone like Ambrielle to show him love and she did it in so many ways possible for him. Master definitely met his match with her, and I loved every second of these two together. 

I definitely enjoyed this story more than the previous books in the series, but it did bother me how the other Torpedo Ink members treated Master. They should have been watching out for him because he is a part of their family and club. He was taking a lot of falls for them. Overall, this book gets four stars from me, and I look forward to reading the next installment.

Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
