Point of freedom (The Nordic Lords MC #3) By Stacey Lynn
RELEASED 23RD OCTOBER
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 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?

Point of Freedom has to be the best one in the series. Although I felt a connection to the last book I found this one had more of a feel to it. I also found the writing was so much better, and i couldn't put it down. I started it in the morning and never put it down till I had finished it.
Basically Jules was with Jaden's brother, Scratch. When he died Jaden blamed her for the accident and never forgave her, in fact, he can't stand looking at her, yet he still can't keep his eyes off of her. When she turns up back in their home town the last thing anyone expected was for her to bring a two year girl, who is Scratches daughter. She did try telling Jaden before she moved away from all the blame and hate given towards her. I mean, I don't blame her, they wouldn't even let her at the funeral.
Anyway, Jules moves back to town because of a crazy ex, one who wants her back. Well fate keeps throwing Jaden at her and vise versa.
For Sophie, her little girl she tries hard to be nice to Jaden even though he's a complete jerk to her.
There's a lot more going on in this one that will have you on the edge of your seat, and your heart racing. I didn't like it towards the end because I felt like I was missing a book. I wanted to know what was happening in the time Jaden was unattainable. Or how they handled the Mob family. It all seemed rushed on that part anyway.
Also at the end, just like in the previous book, Meg calling Faith for help and her sounding scared asking if she can stay with them. I'm hoping the next book is about her, and stick the Australian guy, Finn with her and I'm reading it ;) I want to know more about the two.

Point of Redemption (The Nordic Lords MC #2) By Stacey Lynn
Lies.
Heartbreak.
Betrayal.
No one knew the devastation of those three words more than Faith Winston and five years ago, she endured every one of them. All she wanted was to feel safe and marry the very man who promised to love her and protect her, Ryker Knight.
But growing up in the Nordic Lords Motorcycle Club, she should have known she couldn’t have a happy ending. Instead, her world became a nightmare. The bikers—her family—abandoned her, leaving her to crash without their safety net.
Ryker Knight has spent the last five years consumed with guilt, running from the ghosts that haunt him. That is until his past catches up with him the moment his brother needs his help. Returning home to Jasper Bay, he’s forced to face the same ghosts he was running from. Only to find that the woman he loved is trapped in a hell of her own, entrenched behind enemy lines —and it’s all his fault.
And even though Ryker’s life comes with priorities that he can’t – and won’t - turn his back on, he refuses to leave Jasper Bay until he’s found Faith.
But will she want to return to the life she’s always wanted even if Ryker is no longer capable of giving her what he once promised?

Point of redemption is so much more better than the first book in the series.
I loved Faith in the first one and hated what she had to do to survive the life her mother gave her.
You know when you dislike a mother in a book and it makes you happy you have the mother you do. I got like that and even text my mom to tell her I loved her and thanked her for everything she did for me. The mother in this book, well, let's just say, I was glad how it ended for her.
This book has more of a connection between the characters. You can feel the chemistry and the love they have. I think Stacey's writing improves mega in this one. She created a serious issue and made it so you could feel the pain and torment without actually knowing the full extent of what Faith went through.
I loved Ryker, and so glad he stepped in and showed her who she was again, not who they made her think she was.
All in all the story continues from the first one, where they make a deal with a mob family.
Writing my review next on Point of freedom.

Point of Return (The Nordic Lords MC #1) By Stacey Lynn
Deceit.
Destruction.
Death.
Olivia Masters grew up familiar with all of them. The daughter of the President of the Nordic Lords Motorcycle Club, Olivia always knew she wanted nothing to do with any of it. Her plans were made to leave the town she grew up in as soon as she and her boyfriend, Daemon Knight, turned eighteen.
But then Olivia was shot. Her mother killed in front of her. Fleeing became her reality.
Forced to return to her hometown of Jasper Bay five years later, events beyond Olivia’s control put her directly back into the life she swore she’d never return to.
Her dad wants her back in the family. Daemon wants her in his bed.
But just as Olivia begins to accept her destiny, history finds a way to repeat itself.
This time, will Olivia be strong enough to fight for the family she once turned her back on? Or will she once again flee from the only life that has ever felt like home?

Okay, I was given an ARC for an honest review. I will say, it did take a lot to get into. I found I was lost and never connected to the reason Oliver left. Maybe if the prologue was written, and about the shooting it would have made me feel different. I don't know.
Oliver was a very confusing woman. I couldn't get a handle on her, I really couldn't. The blurb suggests Olivia returns due to events beyond her control, well I didn't know what they were because she was already back home. Maybe the author could have started with her moving back maybe?
Also the blurb mentions her dad wants her back in the family, but I never got that from the book. Yes, he mentioned she belonged with the club, but he never really made an effort with her, I didn't get that bond with them.
Then we have Olivia and Daemon's relationship, if that's what it was. I didn't get that either. Why would you want to be with someone after just watching him getting head by another woman? you wouldn't. No matter who they are. If you loved them you would never forgive that kind of betrayal, if they loved you, they'd never put you in that position. I never connected to them as a couple what-so-ever. I could never put my finger on exactly why, but then I read a review, one that hit the nail on the head.
Oliver and Daemon were never together long enough in the book for us readers to get a grip on their relationship, or feel that strong love bond between the two. I never felt like they connected other than the chemistry, and even that was put mildly.
Then we have the story line.... Parts of this were really good, and had me reading the next chapter, but it wasn't as good as I hoped it to be. The ending however has me wanting to read the next book. Olivia has a friend called faith, when Olivia moved away after the event that took her mother etc, she lost touch. Only Faith has been going through her own personal hell and with the biker club she once called family no longer protecting her, she's sold by her mother to the rival MC as an escort. I can't wait to read the next one for her story, and I pray like hell it's a happy ending.
