She's Fractured...
Mandy Price is best friends with Everett, the Ol' Lady to the Sacred Hearts' Vice-President. The product of a broken childhood, Mandy lives a fractured existence, but she's the preacher's dutiful daughter and she knows how to keep a secret. Every Sunday she returns to her father's church, sits at his table and plays the good girl. But Mandy is starting to grow into her own. It's becoming harder and harder to maintain appearances, and the strain is taking its toll.
He's Formidable...
Revelator has had his eye on the innocent redhead from the moment he first saw her. But life got in the way of him pursuing the angel, prospecting for the club taking up just too damned much of his time. Fully patched at last, preparing to make a move, that's when his shop and his living came down around his ears. Faced with rebuilding from the ground up, he's decided that if he has to start from the beginning, he might as well go all in. The life he plans on building from here on out definitely has his Red by his side and no one else's.
It doesn’t take Rev long to find out what his girl is hiding, and when he does, someone is going to realize just how formidable he can be.

Our Review
Review by: Melanie
(5 stars)
Zander/"Revelator" and Mandy. This couple met in Broken & Burned as Mandy is Everett's best friend. Sparks flew between them but as Zander became a prospect, and the repercussions of a certain Lake Trip started to affect all those around him, Mandy was humiliated as she was forgotten about.
Now a full patch member with his life back on track, Zander aims to win Mandy back, but will she forgive and forget just like that. She certainly won't make it easy for him, that's for sure. Mandy however, has her own problems to deal with. Despite moving in with Everett and Dray, she keeps going home every weekend and the problems continue. Zander and Dray are onto her though, and whether she wants them to or not, they are going to help her. She is after all, "family".
Although I have thoroughly enjoyed every other book in this series, this is the first one to make me feel so emotional. Shattered & Scarred was my favourite before because the story stayed with me for so long. Fractured & Formidable may be my new favourite, or at least tie with S&S, because not only is Zander and Mandy's story an emotional one, the events happening outside their relationship will drag you through everything from happiness and amusement, to anger and sadness and basically a box or two of tissues.
Be warned, this one is a tearjerker.
