Scary, Amazing, Gritty, Captivating Love Story

First, I just want to warn you that this story is absolutely NOT for the faint hearted. Unbeautifully is the heart wrenching, frustrating, intense and ultimately beautiful story of Danny & Ripper. Aside from Danny and Ripper's story, we also get a background story with scenes from Eva and Deuce's POV. After what happened with Frankie, the guy who singlehandedly ruined a dozen people's lives, both of them are still struggling to go back to the way things were before Frankie. I loved the fact that Eva & Deuce still had a big part in this story and that they eventually get the HEA they both deserve so much. This book continues after Undeniable, and going back to where Danny and Ripper’s story starts. As an eighteen year old girl, Danny feels lonely and miserable after everything that happened with her family. Her mother left her at an early age and her father Deuce, although he loves her and would do anything to protect his children, isn't exactly a role model kind of dad which pretty much left her and her brother Cage to grow up by themselves. All these events have made her into a strong, mature young woman, but at the same time she's also struggling to find out what to do with her life. On her prom night, Ripper was sent to pick her up from the dance, but on their way home, they make a stop at a lake, because Danny doesn't want to go home yet and one thing leads to another...
Ripper is a man with a broken past. After crazy Frankie got his hands on him, he's ruined on the outside. He has so many scars on the outside, and it feels like his ruined on the outside too. Other than the Club, his life doesn't seem to have much meaning. Danny finally makes him see that although he's all scarred up on the outside; those scars don't make him any less beautiful. She makes him feel alive and determined to truly start living again after feeling miserable and rather wishing he were dead for a very long time. He realizes he loved Danny, but their love is unconventional. They're not "supposed to" be together. Ripper is fourteen years older than Danny and a member of her father's motorcycle club and both of them know Deuce will never allow them to be together... They have to sneak around and when things start to get out of hand, their affair becomes messy. The story basically spirals out of control from that point on...
This is a story of love and life in a world of violence, sex, and death with its own rules. These are characters that you know you should hate, but just can't help but love. These aggressive, trigger-happy, rebellious, can't-keep-their-dick-in-their-pants, foul mouthed, badass bikers, who work their way straight into your heart. Enjoy this unconventional and sizzling HOT love story which will hook you!

Unbeautifully Raw - Explosive Soul deep Love

Any additional comments?

Danny and Ripper's story has no flowers and chocolates in it. It is Raw, Passionate with all life's wickedness thrown in but with undeniable Soul driven Love - the kind of love that lasts for eternity.....

Undeniable is my top book ever but Unbeautifully is a very close second. Madeline's style of writing is one I have never seen before. It's provocative and abrasive yet sexy. She doesn't hold back, and for me, it doesn't get much better than that. She says it like it is which is why I think I love her books. What was so great about this book is that all the characters from the past are present. I love when that happens, and not just making a cameo either. They have full on parts. Deuce fans can relax! He has a huge part in this book. We get to see more of Deuce and Eva's story, which was extremely emotional to read. We visit with previous fellow bikers from book 1 and meet a few new ones to. I can't wait for Cage's story next........ It will be a definite must listen to immediately for me :)

What can I say, I just love these foul-mouthed, dirty talking, hot biker bad boys! And Madeline Sheehan is the Queen of MC Romance books. Her writing style is so raw and intense and totally in your face. I loved everything about this book. If you enjoyed Undeniable then this one is a must listen for you. It's every bit as good as the first one.

So raw, So real, soooo Awesome!

I absolutely love the Undeniable Series!

These books are the rawest, and realist mc books I have ever listen too... All the vulgar language only makes this better...

Now with book 1 I was left completely.... flabbergasted... is that even a word... Eva story was just crazy... But so much of Book 1 events effected Danny and Ripper...that you find yourself going back to book 1 for a refresher just to be more in the moment of this book...

It took me a while but I finally realized the beginning of this book... is the ending of book 1... We start this book at the same party... (Remember, Ivy running from Kage... and Eva bending over showing off her tattoo...)

Ok... so Danny and Ripper story flashback to Danny's prom... Ripper has already been through hell with Frankie... so he is no longer the sweet flirtatious Ripper... he is the dangerous, scary Ripper now... Anyway... Ripper and Danny smash and it all seem to go downhill from there...

They have a brief moment together b/c of the lockdown...but after that... Ripper leaves to protect Danny and Danny goes crazy... and somehow ends up with Z...

Flash-forward to present... back at the party... Z ask Danny to marry him and Ripper is about to go ballistic... when Bam! Dorothy gets shot in the head... Crazy Right!

I bet anything book 3 will start with Dorothy getting shot... b/c book 3 is Kage and Tegan's story… and Tegan comes back b/c her mother (Dorothy) gets shot...

I love the flashbacks and flash-forwards... It all makes perfect sense...

This book is not as insane as Eva's story with Deuce, Frankie and the other guy...It’s more of a really raw and graphic romance between Danny and Ripper... Awesome!

I honestly feel you can't compare these books to any other mc books.... It is like they are meant to be uncomfortable to listen too... like you are supposed to have a "WTF" moment... It literally set this series apart from any other mc books I have read/listen too... The graphic smex, the violence and the overall... 'can't catch a break' feeling adds rawness and realness to this series...

I totally love it... !!!

Narration was superb! Love Ripper's voice... I hope same narration do all of these books....

A Total Buy, Credit or Sale... a must get if you are into the graphic side of romance books... Definitely not for the faint of heart, or emotionally stunned... as just about every 5 sec... a female gets called a bit*ch.... but it's meant as an endearment... as this is their old lady...

Can't wait for book 3... Instant download....

Degradation, infidelity and rape

The characters throughout this story were so unlikable. I don’t mind flaws but this took it to the next level. Degrading/hitting women, rampant infidelity, a visibly pregnant woman got shot in the head on purpose, AND there was a sanctioned gang rape at the end as a form of punishment before killing a female enemy. Enough is enough. I couldn’t tell the difference from the “good” guys and the bad. I kept waiting for the redeeming moment that would make the reader feel like this couple/group was worth rooting for. I like gritty but this combo is not my cup of tea.

Not as continually heartbreaking, as book 1

The couple in this book have a more believing journey to their HEA. I think this is a good thing. Too much angst just takes away from the story, in my opinion. There is less clubhouse debauchery, in this book also; this doesn't hurt my feelings any. In my opinion, these books are worth the credìt.

Gritty, Romantic--Excellent!

I didn't think I'd have the stomach for the grittier side of things but I'm really enjoying this series! I'm new to the biker romance world, but if Madeline Sheehan is writing it, then I'm all in!

In a way this second book was a little like a major recap of the first, in that Deuce and Eva's relationship was still kind of front and center as Danny and Ripper's story unfolded. Like book 1, I was engrossed in the rawness and drama, wondering what was going to happen. Although I shouldn't have been surprised, there were events in this book that literally made me gasp with disbelief and shock, and I loved it. Gritty, sexy, raw, and deeply emotional--another well told biker romance that is totally credit worthy.
