Cadence Reflection (Wheels & Hogs #2)
by D.M. Earl
Cadence Powers is tattooed, pierced, and panty dropping gorgeous. Women love him and men want to be him. It appears to the world that he has it all, but what people don't see is that Cadence is a damaged haunted man, held back by untold secrets that keep him from living a real life.
When he meets Trinity Vinkers, he feels as if he can finally live the life he desperately wants. However, just as their friendship begins to grow, one stupid act causes that friendship to shatter, all because he lets his guard down allowing her into his life.
Trinity appears to be the light to Cadence's dark. Innocent, naïve, and goofy, she seems to bring out the best in everyone around her, but she has her own dark secret. Her persona allows her to fake her way through life, at least until she meets him. Trying not to let her feelings for Cadence get the best of her is taken out of her hands when she makes a wrong decision that leaves her left with an unexpected fallout.
As life takes both Cadence and Trinity down a path that neither will forget, they are unaware of the evil lurking around them. It's watching, waiting to step in and take everything from Cadence.
As the young lovers struggle with their secrets, a close friend will also be fighting for something,... her life. As time goes by, Cadence and the Horde from Wheels & Hogs decide that they have to do whatever it takes to keep what is theirs safe, even as death hovers around like a dark angel.
4 of 5 Stars
It is clear that Cadence has been to hell and back already in his short life. He is so thankful to Des, Fern and Doc for all that they have done for him. A fresh start with a good job, a secondary family that means everything to him. But it is not enough to take the past away, the nightmares still plague him, the complete loss of control till haunts him. He has used his piercings and tattoos to take the pain, sex to bring exhaustion but nothing seems to work. When he meets Trinity there is something different about her, an innocence that he doesn't want to taint but he can't seem to stay away. She brings out a different side of him.
Trinity has more than her share of secrets to hide. Her friends don't even know where exactly she lives as she makes them drop her off a couple of blocks from home. She never knows what mood her father will be in when he is home. Will it be a pain free night or not? She has gotten good at covering up the evidence with long sleeve shirts and make up. Trust does not come easy for her but there is something about Cadence and her time spent with him. Even though he looks like the could be a bad apple he makes her feel safe and desired. She knows all about his player ways and is in no hurry to be another notch on his belt.
When the relationship grows and they move from friend to more, life comes crashing down all over again. Will she be able to forgive Cadence for his actions? Will their horrible past be enough to break them for good? Will they be able to find love and happiness?
DM brings us another emotional read. This time with lots of healing and working through the past. Learning how to let the past go so you can move forward. Finding a way to trust in people again after those that were to love you unconditionally, abuse their power. I love the family that is the Horde and how they willing take in more when they see fit.
