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?  

“Don’t you know, babe … that you’re the only woman who’s ever been mine?”

I loved Faith and Ryker’s story. From the bits and pieces we got in Point of Return, I was excited to get into the nitty gritty details of what happened after Ryker left town 5 years ago to leave Faith as property of the Black Death. And how their story played out? Was the perfect story for them.

Faith has been suffering from consequences of actions beyond her control for the last five years. Sold as property to a motorcycle club by her junkie mother, Faith has been struggling to keep herself and her mother alive while not losing herself or her spirit. She has spent that same time thinking her first love had left her behind without looking back. 

Ryker never wanted the MC life, for himself or Faith, and left Jasper Bay when it looked like he had lost everything he wanted. Five years later, he is being eaten alive by the guilt of broken promises, to his first love and to the man who treated him like a brother when he left his whole world behind. 

Bits and pieces of their story were dropped as breadcrumbs throughout Point of Return, and those little breadcrumbs were picked up here and fleshed out to give the whole story. I loved the way the two stories overlapped while still remaining completely separated. 

Black Death, the Nordic Lords’ rival MC, play a large role in Faith and Ryker’s story, as does the Sporelli family, the Chicago crime family that is trying to bring drugs through the area, as well as the members and families of the Nordic Lords themselves -- Daemon and Liv, Jaden and Jules, . Watching as these three groups circle around each other for control of Jasper Bay certainly makes for a great plot arch across the series. There are also several new characters, in the form of Ryker’s friends in New Orleans, who add some good moments to the story, both comedic and serious.

Point of Redemption had some great twists. There were no real big surprises, but it was a story that pulled me in from the very beginning. It was intense, gritty, and emotional without tipping into crying-in-public territory. 

I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Amazon US | Amazon UK | B&N | Goodreads

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?
