**REVIEW**
5 stars
If you're looking to be HOOKED from the very first page, you found your story. BUT just make sure you've read the first one.. it's too addictive and sexy and dark and interesting to be put down.
IRISH accents and sexy alpha male taking possessiveness and soulfulness to a whole new level...
I couldn't wait to delve into LOADED after the hell of a cliffhanger from the previous one, and I actually really missed the characters - which doesn't happen often - so that was a definite plus.
Pistol and Stephanie's relationship in Loaded just gets stronger but at the same time, it turns into a hardship in trying to keep up with everything that is happening around them. I also felt that they were developing more of their backstories and we finally got more of an in depth understanding behind their points of view.
At times it was heartbreaking to hear what they have been through and even dark times that made me literally want to hug my kindle. Yes that nearly happened. No judgments until you get to that scene/s and see for yourselves...
Stephanie grew such a strong mindset, not that she wasn't before but in Loaded she developed into her very own self. She had a better idea in what she wanted, what she knew, what she still needs to learn and definitely, how she felt about Pistol. I loved her character from the first book but in this one it just blossomed into one of those strong, independent and still open minded type of girls. She had her own mind in what she saw in life or how she would go about her problems, but having Pistol there just ENHANCED her own sense. Does that make sense? I just mean that she always had her own personality towards her own life and Pistol crushing into her life the way that he did, only made for a stronger Stephanie. His attitude and mindset provided an advantage to her already strong one! It also doesn't hurt that he is uhm how do you say this so it doesn't sound as an understatement?.. HOT as bloody hell?
Pistol. Sigh. I can't talk or think about him without having my heart broken over and over again because.. fiction and fictional book boyfriends aren't fun when they tick every damn part of your perfect man. Damn.
I couldn't wait to have more of him and his one of a kind sexy dominating personality. His attitude on it's own stands above ground, it can bring down even the more cockiest of men.. Add to that a girl that catches his eye? Let's just say his already drool worthy self is turned up by quite a notch!! He is an alpha male with a possessive and demanding attitude towards Steph which just made me blush over and over. I mean, how the hell do you expect are reader who lives for men that are all things dominant, alpha, possessive, take charge (all in the best way possible) to stay sane?? I don't think it's possible.
His personality only grew stronger especially on the protective instinct. The darkness that comes with his past and present only fuel to make it an ever more interesting and edgy read. My hear broke for him as well.. I wish I could just crawl into the book just for a couple minutes to hug his troubles away. Or overstay my welcome because clearly a couple of minutes with Pistol wont ever be enough.. I am going to the gutter for the hundredth time since Pistol stepped inside my head.... .... ...
For me at least, I COULD NOT PUT THE BLOODY BOOK DOWN not matter how hard I tried. When it came time to food and water I had to take the kindle with me.. See? ADDICTIVE with a sexy capital A - I really am making no sense trying to explain how much I adored this story!!
I could recommend this book high enough!! If you haven't read any of Max Henry's books before or if you are looking for your next dark and sexy read with an unbelievably drool worthy IRISH alpha (Did I mention he has an Irish bloody accent?!?! *insert all the words amazon wont allow here*) this is the book for you. Even if you don't know what to read next or need an inspirational story to get you out of that readers/writers block, pick up Pistol and then Loaded. No regrets will be mentioned. Only appreciation and maybe a little bit of scowling for having introduced a book boyfriend that well, can only stay as that - fictional - ..
THANK YOU so much Max Henry and your team for providing an ARC of a story that will be on my re-reads for as long as I can read ;) Absolutely amazing story, every element was balanced out perfectly.
