“Ain’t no other explanation for what a girl like you is doin’ in bed with a man like me.” “Yeah, baby,” he whispered, sliding back inside of me. Laying me gently down on his bed, he climbed over top of me and covered me with his body. “Ripper,” I whispered, clinging to his neck as he carried me from the bathroom into his bedroom. Her heart never doubts her feelings for him, she is prepared and willing to scream it from the rooftops, but his reluctance to make their relationship public makes her continuously doubt his commitment to her, thus feeding the insecurities of a young woman in love for the very first time. They are as beautiful to her as the man behind them, the only man she has ever loved in her life. You’re nothin’ but f*ckin’ beauty and I’m a whole lot of f*ckin’ ugly who’s already halfway to hell.”ĭanny does not see the ugliness of Ripper’s scars. “Man like me got no business with a girl like you. And, in his eyes, Danny is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen or tasted in his life. The horrendous torture that his body had endured and survived has left him feeling ruined and ashamed of his ordeal, the “ugliness” that he sees in the mirror reminding him every day that he is no longer worthy of beauty. Ripper is a broken man, his scarred body being only a small reflection of the deep emotional wounds festering inside him. Their clandestine love affair starts when Danny is only eighteen years old, during her prom night, when Danny loses her virginity to a man fourteen years her senior whom her father trusts as a brother but would never consider worthy of his eldest daughter. This is the story of Erik “Ripper” Jacobs, the Hell’s Horsemen sergeant at arms, and Danielle “Danny” West, the Horsemen’s president’s daughter. The Undeniable series is like crack of the worst best kind, but instead of killing you, it invigorates your imagination, it takes you out of your comfort zone, slaps you a few times for good measure and it pushes the limits of everything you ever believed a romance novel should be like.

I am convinced that either Ms Sheehan has some Jedi Master mind tricks up her sleeve that we don’t know about, or these books have subliminal messages in them because that is the only explanation I can offer my super-confused brain to justify this intense level of enjoyment on my part given the themes and the crudity and explicitness of the scenes in them. I had become somewhat reluctantly but nevertheless hopelessly addicted to Ms Sheehan unique brand of gritty romances – her stories, more than any others I have ever read, have the power to completely disconnect me from reality and, in what I can only explain as an out-of-body experience, make me feel everything I would never feel in real life. After reading Undeniable a few months ago, its sequel had become one of the most anticipated reads of the year for me.
