Point of Surrender (Nordic Lords MC, #4) by Stacey Lynn
Blurb
Debt. Guilt. Death.
Finn Walker has spent years carrying the weight of his regret and guilt with him
wherever he went. When he found his home with the Nordic Lords Motorcycle Club,
he quickly learned their outlaw lifestyle allowed him to banish his guilt with his fists
and guns and no one would stop him. It was freeing, and now, he fits right in.
Friends with Ryker Knight for years, Meg McNeery turns to the one place she knows
is safe when she needs safety more than her next paycheck. On the run from a man
determined to receive payment for a debt he believes Meg owes, she knows the
Nordic Lords Clubhouse in Minnesota is the only place where she and her five-year-
old son, Brayden, will be safe.
What Meg doesn’t expect is her instant, magnetic attraction to Finn. And when her
running ends with the three of them trapped together…it not only tests Meg’s
physical self-control, but it also causes Finn to face his demons.
Finn has sworn he’d never get involved with another woman again, much less a
woman with a child, but he can’t stop thinking about Meg, the blue-eyed angel who
silences his nightmares.
When Finn’s past fears and present threats collide…will he finally be able to save the
woman who needs him?
Or will Meg end up like his ex, Piper? Buried six feet under.
Manda's 4 Star Review
This is one of my favorite series. I have been patiently waiting to read this story about the mysterious Finn. As always the storyline is fantastic and the characters are well written. The author does a fantastic job of making you like Finn and dislike him at the same time. Meg and Brayden are wonderful characters who add a needed softness to the intensity that is Finn. We also get more of the characters from the previous stories that I loved so much. The MC is about brotherhood and protecting the ones they love and they will do whatever they have to do to protect them.
Meg has played an important role in the previous book with Ryker, so when she shows up needing help he put Finn as her guard. The life Finn led before joining the MC is unknown to everyone but with Megs arrival it gets harder for him to keep his past hidden. Lashing out at her and her son every time his past threatens causes a very dangerous situation to become even more emotional and tense. The author does a fantastic job of telling the story of Meg and Finn. This is a wonderful addition to and already fantastic series.
Point of Freedom (Nordic Lords MC #3) by 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 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?
Manda's 4 Star Review:
Jaden has so much pain and hatred after the death of his brother Scratch and all of it is focused on the woman he holds responsible for his death. Part of him wants to get to know the child his brother left behind but a bigger part of him wants to stay as far away as he can from Jules.
Jules loved Scratch and his death broke her, but she had to stay strong for their child. When her friend needs her she comes home knowing Jaden hated her and it would be anything but easy. She wants nothing more than to give her daughter the only piece of Scratch that is left and that is a relationship with Jaden. With the truth about what happened that night still buried and unspoken feelings hidden Jaden and Jules have to play the hand they are dealt and try to give a little girl the family she deserves.
This series just keeps getting better and better. I loved Jaden and Jules and think this story is my favorite of the series. There is a lot of pain and heartbreak in this story and at the heart of it is a beautiful little girl who needs her family. The characters are wonderful and the story is really well written. This entire series is amazing and you don’t want to miss it. Congratulations Stacey Lynn on another fantastic addition to this series and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Point of Redemption (Nordic Lords MC #2) by Stacey Lynn
Point of Redemption.
The Nordic Lords MC, Book 2
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?
Manda's 4 Star Review:
5 years ago Faith Winston had to endure the worst pain and betrayal she ever could of imagined. Abandoned by the only family she has ever known and the one man she thought she would be with forever, Faith is tossed into a nightmare she knows she will never be free from. Forced to live a life she doesn't want and haunted by the memories of her first love she struggles to live day to day.

When his brother reaches out to him for help he has no choice but to return home. As soon as he hits town he comes face to face with the only woman he has ever loved. Learning that she is trapped in her own personal hell and its all his fault, Ryker is determined to free Faith. He is stuck between his current life and obligations and the woman he once promised forever. As the danger intensifies Ryker must fight against his anger and guilt to help his brother and save Faith.
I actually signed up to review this book before I read the first in the series. I could not be happier that I found these books. I am a huge fan of MC books and am always looking for a good story. This book did not disappoint. I really liked the first book but I think I liked this one more. All of the characters in this book are strong and really well written. The storyline is a bit different from most MC books and has enough twists and turns to keep your full attention. The hell that the characters go through, especially Faith makes for an emotional read. I absolutely cannot wait for what happens next. This really is a fantastic series and I am now a huge fan of Stacey Lynn .

Remembering Us
My life was perfectly mapped out for me since before the day I was born. I followed it, begrudgingly, because it’s what was expected. And then one day, everything changed. I woke up. Different. Independent. Free from all the rules that had surrounded me. Only I have no idea how I got to where I am. I have no memory of graduating college. No memory of Adam, the boyfriend I live with. He loves me. And I love him. At least that’s what everyone says. Except when my memories return to me as dreams, I see a different man than the one everyone claims is perfect for me. He terrifies me. He makes my heart race and he makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. I have no idea if I want to welcome the emotional roller-coaster that his piercing brown eyes and messy black hair puts me on every time I get a glimpse of him, or if I want to run back to the safe shelter of the scripted life-plan that used to be mine.

Mag's 5 Star Review!!
One of the best amnesia stories I’ve read. A heart touching story.
“It’s been weeks since I woke up from my coma, and I don’t remember anything more than the fact that I live with a stranger and I don’t like him when I dream.”
Amy had a privileged life one where her parents gave her what they thought she would need and in turn expected her to follow the plan they had set for her. The only problem was, no one expected Amy to meet and fall for Adam, a player who comes from the wrong side of the tracks. Someone Amy’s parents didn’t approve of.
The book starts off with Amy rehashing a vivid dream and then transitions into her reality, where she remembers nothing from the past two years. That includes meeting, falling in love, and moving in with Adam. Waking up from a coma, Amy is beyond confused and struggles on a daily basis not to disappoint the people that are the closet to her.
Remembering Us is a story of second chances, not by choice but by fate. It’s a story of unbreakable bonds and the obstacles that try and destroy them. Remembering Us is a beautiful story filled with touching moments. There were so many memorable moments that I wanted to highlight the entire book!
“Everything I’ve seen in the dreams, everything I’ve felt always leads back to that conclusion. The fear, the uncertainty, the jealousy- never once have I seen, or felt, any redeeming quality from either of us as I remember how we began. We bring out the worst in each other.”
“I never knew it would be possible for a fuck-up like me to fall in love, but I did. And now that I feel it, I really...really want to show you how much I love you.”
Amy and Adam’s story made my heart hurt in a good way. I wanted to cry for both of them, because love like that only comes around once, and watching the memories through Amy’s eyes as they slowly come back was beautiful. Remembering Us was such an amazing love story, and I honestly wish there was more of it.
“We’re such a wreck. But it’s the most glorious wreck I’ve ever seen.”
