I claim Crusher.
Yup, Crusher is MINE. But, I am willing to share him, because, if you haven’t met any of the men of the Savage Brothers MC, Crusher might just turn you off other men (don’t tell their head alpha, Dragon, I said so)!
This story was hard for me from the start. I know Jordan Marie took a chance with Dani’s story, what with stories of abuse not generally accepted by a huge range of romance readers. Still, I took a chance, and, well, I can honestly say that Dani then, and up till now, has been my favorite Savage Brothers MC heroine, followed only by Carrie (Saving Dancer, Savage Brothers MC #2).
Why, you ask?
The abuse that Dani suffered is not something to balk at, or trifle with just to get people to buy a book, but… if no one raises an issue on abuse, who will? Especially in these times, we are in.
Readers, I hope and pray that you see Dani as I see her—brave, badass, someone we (yes, we, for I can say ME TOO) can strive to be.
“She’s just a character, a figment of the imagination.” THAT she is not! Look around, and see that Jordan Marie is right in shining a light on the stigma of abuse, which is happening, still. Do not turn your back on it. If you do, you are just as complicit as the abuser.
“It’s shameful.” What is shameful? To fight for survival—for yourself, for someone you know who was abused? Would the better option be to turn your back?
“I’m scared.”
“What will people think?”
“I can’t.”
All these questions will be useless if you, or someone you love, are dead because you let the abuser win.
“It’s not that easy.”
It is. Believe me, it is. I am proof of that.
“How?”
All you need to do is to reach out. Someone, somewhere, will always be there to listen and help you heal. Help you survive.
Jordan Marie mentioned the St. Alexander’s medallion. After reading Dani’s story, I got one. St. Alexander, to those of the Christian faith, is the patron of victims of betrayal and torture. He is a prime example of how we should stand fast in the face of ridicule and ostracism, of abuse.
Today when we are criticized by friends and society for the moral tenets of our faith, St. Alexander is a prime example of how we should stand fast in the face of ridicule and ostracism.
Whether you believe in him or not, have faith that there is someone out there, who is looking out for you, who will slay your fears for you.
Crusher’s real name is Zander, by the way. And yes, I believe that one day, I will meet him, MY Crusher, face to face.
Thank you, Jordan Marie, for giving us Dani and Crusher’s story!
Blurb
Crusher
The moment I saw her I knew I was in trouble. I just didn’t care. Once I knock down her walls and get a taste. I know she’s it. I’ll have her and no one will get in my way—-not even my club.
She’s trying to run. That won’t happen. I’ll use whatever I can just to keep her, even if it is my d**k. I’m an expert in making women give me what I want.
Dani just doesn’t realize who she’s dealing with yet. She will. I’ve claimed her… She’s mine.
Dani
I’m running. I have secrets that will kill me someday. I need to stay ahead of them.
I run straight into his arms. Zander’s trouble. I know, because he sets my body on fire. One taste of him and I keep going back, even when I shouldn’t.
All I need is his body, his touch, and his deliciously dirty mouth. He’s not mine to claim. One more taste and I’ll leave.
Before my past finds me…
If you or a loved one is in need of help, there are a lot of places and organisations willing to step in and extend a helping hand. Please, do not hesitate to reach out to them, because you, and those you know who are experiencing abuse, matter.
