I power read this book in 24 hours and I do NOT regret doing it at all. Now, this is my mood ring over MC 'Romances'. I mean for the most part I think they are overly dramatic for the sake of being overly dramatic. I think we toss in some violence, cheating, and really really triggery situations just to well, trigger the reader.I have mood swings where I'm like "Worse book ever", or I'm like "This was just amazing."Apparently, I like to cry when I read MC Romances because the ones that tug at my heart strings do it for me the most.Now this is the tale of Daemon and Olivia.From the moment I opened the book I was hooked. It began with a similar tone--a chick was shot. I was like "Of course a chick was shot!" I have this issue with women getting the raw end in these stories. I mean they are 'behind' the men. It always rubs me wrong yet I keep reading them. But Olivia. Oh, Olivia breaks all the preconceived notions, and Daemon, oh boy does he push my BS button about a gazillion times, especially when she walks in on him getting head.Honestly dude, you should have known she was gonna roll up in there.These parts always trigger me!Anyways, as a whole it wasn't a triggerfest MC story. It was solid, emotional, engaging, and very well written.I connected to and felt for each character and I'm kinda still grumbling over some loose ends the author left so she better give me some more Nordic books because I must have the HEA for more of these characters. I'm shipping hard Finn and Jules but I have this weird feeling its gonna be Jaden that ends up with Jules.I cried so hard for Olivia more than once. Life just liked kicking this woman when she was down. She had her moments to allow the sadness to simmer, and then she was back on her feet. I appreciated that in her. I felt like the story as a whole could have tied up a bit better. I got it, but it felt a touch rushed. Honestly, I wouldn't have minded another chapter for her to close it up with Liv and Daemon just a touch better, but as a whole I was happy with the read and I will be grabbing more of Ms. Lynn's books in the future.*I received a copy of this title for FREE via Between the Sheets Promotions in exchange for an honest review.*
