 I did very much like the tension in the first 40% and towards the end of the book - Garrett Leigh writes intense scenes very well! But I couldn't shake the feeling that the story overall was choppy and every pov-switch felt disjointed (at least for the first 60% or so). For me, it was partly helped by more characters coming into play in the latter half of the book, while the first half was much more focused solely on the main trio. And that's a bit sad, that I didn't care enough about them to be happy with limited interactions with characters I already loved from previous books.

 I’m so utterly obsessed with the Rebel Kings MC’s. I have never loved morally grey men more! And honestly, each story gets better and better.

But oh my god, Nash, Locke and Orla were incredible. All three are fierce in their own right, and I love the lengths they’ll go to for each other, for their love, and for their family.  And it was great to see them shine rather than being side characters.

Just as they find their way to each other, they are put through the wringer. And trust me, so is the reader. Damn it, Locke…heartbreaking. 

What I love is that we get to see the ups and downs of all the couples, but there is never any worry about the depth of their love. But wow, I’m still reeling from it all.

I enjoyed this book as I love Orla, Locke and Nash together, but there was something about the pacing and plot that wasn't perfect for me. I felt like the story lost momentum being split into two books, and that some of the drama that happened in this one was added in to pad out the length (i.e. the motorway accident). I still enjoyed the drama, don't get me wrong, but some of it felt a little disjointed as the plot from their first book was wrapped up within the first half of this book. So anything that came in the second half was interesting, but felt more like a bonus story than part of the main story. 

I also was hoping for a little more from the ending - Locke realises Orla is pregnant in the last chapter but she and Nash don't, and we get left on a bit of a cliffhanger of what's going to happen next. She has endo and we learn a lot about her fertility issues and past miscarriages throughout their books so we know there is a high possibility this pregnancy won't work out, despite all three wanting kids together. Locke's internal thoughts about this pregnancy weren't easy for me to understand - I wasn't sure if he thought she was guaranteed to miscarry again, or if he knew this one would succeed? I thought we'd get an answer in the bonus epilogue in the author's newsletter, but that was a bonus scene from earlier in the book. I'm guessing we'll know what happened when book 7 gets published?

MMF is just not my thing. Nash and Locke are perfect but I have no love for Orla. I skimmed her chapters and any smut scenes with her. Thankfully this book focused more on plot than the relationship.

This is a great follow up to complete Locke, Nash and Orla’s storyline. At the start I was crying because the story went across two books but I think it needed it to do the story justice. 

 

Each character has their own issues to deal with and the club again has problems.

 

The start of the book deals with everyone trying to find Locke and how very badly everyone is handling it the longer he is missing. Once he is back there is an issue of trust between him and Nash that comes up and I really enjoyed how this was handled. Nash and Orla gave him space without hysterics so he could work it out himself and then approach each one individually and reconnect. 

 

I enjoy how clear headed Orla is. She owns her temper and keeps her men together. She is astute enough to know and understand that they need time together as well as with her. She’s not perfect. She has her own issues and medical problems.i like how the two guys go out of their way to both understand and try and help her when she is in pain. 

 

Nash is a beautiful character. He is so loyal and would do anything for one of the club or their families, all with a smile on his face hiding his pain and tiredness. 

 

This series makes me want to constantly start reading again from the start as I know there will be more I will pick up on each read. One of my favourite series of the last few years.
