Payback (Viking Bastards MC, #2)
by
by
After reading the first book in the Viking Bastards MC series, "Hooked", I knew I would be coming back for more. This second installment did not disappoint, but it did surprise me.
The Story-
Amelia comes from a family that was involved with a rival MC of the Viking Bastards. There was enough bad blood that she wants revenge, and the only way to do it is to go undercover as a bartender at Odin's. She doesn't expect her mark, Gage, to be anything like the sexy, protective guy she immediately has the feels for.
My Thoughts-
This second book is definitely darker than the first one, but has all the heat and pace that this author is so good at. Toward the end, it raised my eyebrows and had me wondering about how far she was willing to go to raise the conflict stakes in the story. I'm still not sure if she crossed that line or not, but I will say that it made me think... which fun Viking MC romance/eroticas don't tend to make me do. The characters are well-rounded
(with a great alpha hero) with intricate motivations, and the book reads incredibly fast. I only sort of hope that the next book in this series leans back in the "fun romp with a bad boy" direction.
The Bottom Line-
If you like alpha males and MCs, this is probably your thing. If you want a quick, hot read with some emotional depth and a dose of darkness, this is right up your alley. If you want fun, hot sexytimes without the angst, I suggest the first book in this series. All that being said, I will be back for the next Viking Bastard! 3 3/4 stars
