Stacey Lynn
Hatred. Desire. Broken Dreams.
Jules McAllister has loved and lost.
She experienced the gut wrenching pain of grief after her boyfriend, Scratch, a member
of the Nordic Lords MC, died on the same night that she told him they were going to
have a child.
Grief stricken and destroyed, she left Jasper Bay, unable to tell anyone the truth of what
really happened that fateful night.
When her childhood friend, Olivia needs her, Jules realizes it’s time to return home and
give her daughter what she wants most – a family.
But Jules didn’t count on the tumultuous emotions she would feel around Scratch’s
brooding and angry brother, Jaden.
Jaden has vowed to never forgive Jules for, what he feels is her role in his brother’s death.
Being face to face with Jules again, who is now a mother to a young child, he finds that
his anger hasn’t waned and swears to have nothing to do with mom or child.
But how can he reconcile the burning fury in his soul with the irrational urge to touch
her? To taste her? To own her completely?
Can wounded hearts that still bleed ever be healed? And can two people broken by their
pasts find freedom from their pain in each other?
Or will a night of passion destroy them both?
Who doesn’t love a good enemies to lovers with a side of forbiddenness? Stacey Lynn brings it to the biker world and she does it well. I believe this is my favorite and her best story to date. There’s so much guilt on both sides of the relationship, especially when Jaden has always wanted his brother’s girl. Even though he blames Jules for Scratch’s death, he can’t give up his conflicting feelings of wanting her for his own. Jaden does not make it easy on Jules to love him, always pushing and pulling her, but then doing small things that make her want and love him. We also get some suspense from the MC and Jules’ own past, some hot lovin’ (note: piercings) and reconnecting with the previous books’ couples as they try to help these two out. Luckily, the MC always steps up to protect their own. [October 2014]
