SCANDAL is the tenth and final instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC: NEW BLOOD dark, erotic, MC romance series, a spin off set in the RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC world co-authored by Elizabeth Knox and EC Land. This is Irish Brotherhood protector RJ Malone, and twenty six year old, fashion designer and MC princes Dalla’s story line. SCANDAL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Dalla is the daughter of Club president Rune and Fern, and sister of Revna Volkov(Sadistic 4). For fans of the authors, there is a slight cross over with The Mackenzies series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives ( Dalla and RJ) SCANDAL follows in the wake of the arrival in Ireland of our story line heroine. Dalla is a fashion designer whose designs have caught the eye of Greer MacKenzie, who runs a fashion empire out of Ireland. A fashion show, a shoot out, and a personal bodyguard find Dalla on a plane back to Florida, where she will find herself with twenty-four hour protection in the guise of Irish Brotherhood protector RJ Malone. RJ Malone believes himself a monster but from their very first introduction, RJ knows that Dalla is more than a job but the woman with whom our hero will fall in love, and protecting Dalla has become more difficult when RJ discovers a years long vendetta has placed a target on our heroine’s back.

The world building crosses the globe as the crime world, MC and human trafficking cross a dangerous path of power and control. Dalla will be caught in the middle of a potential underworld war, and the sins of the past take aim at our story line heroine.

The relationship between Dalla and RJ begins acrimoniously but RJ has been assigned to protect the woman with whom he will fall in love, a woman that stirs something RJ thought long dead and gone. Dalla’s attraction to RJ is immediate and intense but someone is hunting our heroine, who is often TSTL in the face of danger and death. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and energetic secondary and supporting including many members of the Raiders of Valhalla MC, their families, and prospects, as well as the return of Dalla’s parents Runes and Fern, and her sister Revna and her husband Doran Volkov.Several of the characters will cross over with the author’s new series : RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC: Prospects.

SCANDAL is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and reprisal, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is edgy and dramatic; the romance is subtle; the characters are determined and charismatic.

Scandal is the tenth book in the Raiders of Valhalla: New Blood series, and it finally puts Dalla where she belongs—front and center. Pair her with RJ, her Irish bodyguard and a soldier with the Brotherhood, and you can feel the sparks before they even speak. RJ is equal parts dangerous and intriguing, and with Dalla—gorgeous, stubborn, and determined—it’s not hard to see where this is headed. The twins, Rev and Dalla, clearly have a type: intensely overprotective, extremely lethal bad boys.

What I loved most is that this book gives Dalla real room to grow beyond “MC royalty.” She’s still carrying guilt about not finishing medical school and feeling like she didn’t meet the family’s expectations, and that internal pressure adds emotional weight beneath all the action. When she finally gets the chance to lean into her own path, with Greer's support of her designs, it’s satisfying to watch her claim something that’s hers.

And then there’s RJ; he doesn’t just want Dalla, he wants her to be his and only his. He also understands her in a way no one else does. Their connection is immediate and unmistakable: love-at-first-sight, can’t-keep-my-hands-off-you energy, with a romance that turns loud and very spicy fast. The chemistry is intense, and it fits them.

Now, I’m going to be honest: Dalla frustrated me. Repeatedly. For someone who’s the daughter of Runes (the club president) and basically MC royalty, you’d think she’d be a lot more vigilant and have stronger survival instincts. She keeps ignoring the people trying to protect her and walking straight into danger, often mortal danger. But here’s the thing: it works for the story. It keeps the tension high, the stakes escalating, and the pages turning.

This book is packed with surprises, suspense, action, twists, emotional layers, and complex characters, and it’s the kind of installment you start “for a few chapters” and then suddenly you’re at the end. One note for new readers: you’ll get the most impact if you read the series in order. The relationships and long-running threads land so much harder when you’ve been there for the build.

Scandal (Raiders of Valhalla MC: New Blood Book 10) by Elizabeth Knox is an exceptional bitter sweet story to end the final installment of Raiders of Valhalla MC: New Blood. Scandal is about betrayal, vengeance, obsession, control, family relationships and love. The storyline is edgy, dramatic, dark and erotic; the characters are charismatic, loyal and steadfast. Large ensemble from previous books of members of the Raiders of Valhalla and their families, prospects as well as Fern and Rune are part of this storyline.

Irish Brotherhood protector, RJ Malone and Dalla club princess daughter of Rune President of the Valhalla MC will embark on a passionate journey full of suspense, drama and danger that will have you begging for more. Dalla followed her twin sister Revna to Ireland to fulfill her dream of being a fashion designer. The first meeting between RJ and Dalla is explosive as they come to realize that they are drawn to each other. Soon Dalla 's life is in danger as she is targeted to get to her brother-in law Doran Volkov, with RJ's role as the perfect soldier he eliminates the threat against Dalla. Dublin is now no longer safe for her so Liam Mackenzie sends RJ to America as Dalla's shadow and protector back to her father in Tallahassee. Upon returning to the Valhalla clubhouse, Rune soon discovers his enemy is closing in on the club and Dalla as they are dealing with the trafficking ring. As they interact, the relationship that develops between RJ and Dalla is hard, fast, steamy and all consuming. With Dalla's help she will show RJ that he is worthy of acceptance and love.

With her life in danger RJ vows to protect Dalla with his life as he proves to Rune, his father and the brothers of the club that he is worthy of Dalla's love. To be with Dalla will he give up his affiliation with the Irish Brotherhood to be with the love of his life? Will they get their HEA? So many twists and turns as lives will change, alliances will form as families and club members along with RJ's help will work together to end the sex trafficking ring. I highly recommend this amazing series, the Raiders of Valhalla MC will be missed! Scandal is a must read, thank you Elizabeth Knox for taking your readers on one hell of an adventure!!

This is the 10th and final book in the Raiders of Valhalla series and what an incredible story to end what has been an amazing series. This is the story of Dalla, she is the daughter of club president Runes, who has recently closed down a human trafficking operation and killed the man running it. Dalla has flown to Ireland with her twin sister and her husband, to visit his family. While there she has the opportunity to present her designs to world famous designer Greer McKenzie, who just happens to be her sister’s mother in law. While at a celebration dinner Dalla wanders out in the grounds and captures the attention of security RJ he is part of The Brotherhood and they have a long history of protecting McKenzies. Dalla and RJ’s connection in the garden was quite flirtatious and left both of them quite flustered. RJ couldn’t believe she wasn’t scared or intimidated by him! The next day there was a fashion show where some of Dalla’s designs were being shown and RJ had been selected specifically to guard Dalla, everything was going great until RJ spotted a man going for a gun, he threw himself at Dalla in a hail of bullets. It’s decided that it’s safer for Dalla to be home and for RJ to accompany her and stay until the threat that is after her is eliminated. Arriving back at the MC headquarters, RJ must deal with Runes who, of course thinks the club can take care of Dalla’s protection. Dalla and RJ soon move from hiding feelings and holding back the intense chemistry between them and the relationship between RJ and Runes moves to one of mutual respect. Then the club have bad news the trafficking operation they closed down has started operating again which means that the guy they killed was only taking orders from someone else! Then RJ finds evidence that they have been under surveillance by someone, which means there is some danger, how are they going to keep everyone safe especially Dalla?
Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down until I read the oh so satisfying last word.

If you live for motorcycle club romances with danger, loyalty, and hard-earned love, Scandal delivers exactly what MC fans crave. Elizabeth Knox stays true to the raw, violent, brotherhood-first world of the Raiders of Valhalla MC while weaving in a romance that feels earned, intense, and emotionally grounded.

This book brings together Dalla, a strong and creative woman pulled unwillingly into the MC’s orbit, and RJ Malone, a hardened enforcer with Irish Brotherhood ties and a no-nonsense attitude. RJ is pure MC romance material — protective, controlled, emotionally guarded, and deadly when pushed. He doesn’t soften easily, and that makes watching his walls crack all the more satisfying.

What really works here is the forced proximity / protector trope, done the MC way. RJ isn’t sweet — he’s vigilant, territorial, and quietly relentless. Dalla isn’t a doormat either; she has her own backbone, and her resistance to the MC lifestyle creates believable tension. Their chemistry simmers before it burns, which longtime MC romance readers will appreciate.

Knox doesn’t water down the club life. There’s violence, power plays, and the constant sense that loyalty comes at a cost. The MC brothers feel authentic — not background noise — and the ongoing series threads add depth for readers already invested in the Raiders of Valhalla universe. This book feels like part of a living, breathing MC world, not a standalone romance slapped with biker aesthetics.

Be aware: this is dark-leaning MC romance. If you expect a soft, sanitized love story, this isn’t it. But if you want:
• Alpha protectors
• Real danger
• Slow-burn intensity
• Women who survive the MC world without losing themselves
…then Scandal hits the mark.

Bottom line: Scandal is a strong, gritty MC romance with emotional payoff and true motorcycle club energy. Elizabeth Knox knows her audience, and this installment proves why Raiders of Valhalla MC continues to be a must-read series for MC romance fans.

Arc review

I know I’m reiterating with my comments on trigger warnings, but they are there for a reason and Elizabeth has always clearly stated this. “Caution - proceed with caution.”

Dalla - daughter/twin - Princess of the President of R.O.V.MC

RJ - Irish Brotherhood. Protector that Dublin created. Loyal. Brotherhood to the Mackenzie family.

A life experience to Ireland where Dalla’s career will become known. Only to return to Tallahassee, ? on safety/staying alive. This is now the prime objective.

A target now. Who is watching the Raiders? Is it more than just the Kirjacks - Irish rivalry. Has history with the Raiders come full circle again? Remember, the traffic ring was never abolished. ?’s to be solved.

There is no cliffhanger but disappointment for some after “THE END” is emphasised. A new chapter is in the horizons. We have followed a threat to the R.OV.MC. A threat that’s was hanging around the President - Runes for 20 years. We have gone full circle with the Patched & Prospects MC.
Here Dalla - club princess has become the target for revenge. Starting from Ireland where she was to begin her fashion career with the guidance of Greer Mackenzie and support of her twin Rev. A twist of revenge has altered her life. Enter the bodyguard RJ Malone. Brotherhood soldier, saviour & lover.

Enough said. To fully understand the R.O.V.MC you need to start from the beginning , no bypassing.

Elizabeth has created a series that travels through continents, states & islands. It is a delicious read but also very detailed.

Trigger alerts,
Abuse,
Trafficking,
Revenge
Drugs
Sexually encounters, the list goes on.

Each character has a heartfelt story and here with Dalla & RJ, the exception didn’t falter.
A deep and everlasting read, an experience into the life of MC’s.

Simply put - OUTSTANDING

Get to know the characters, you will feel & fall in love with them.

Action, connections, primal love, might be second generation for club but also this time around the enemy is also a daughter of the original villain to Rune's past, probably if you read his story and all the way to this story it would be a the overall wrap up to these Nordic men and their equally stubborn wives, and their hellions children and their future partners...

RJ Malone, 28, Brotherhood 'Liem Mackenzie' solider, been training most of his life since his single parent, his dad is the head of the Brotherhood behind the bossman. First night he came across Dalla waking on the Ireland grounds of Mackenzie's estate and sees him and not run he knew he was in trouble, add being her bodyguard he knew his life was changed when she breaks his restraint his heart is healed. Even when danger is scooping out the clubhouse he is set on protecting her at all costs as well as loving her...

Dalla, 26, daughter to Runes & Fern, twin to Revna. Dropped out of med school to follow and design clothing and her big supporter is the the most feared but respected woman, Greer Mackenzie, Revna's mother in law. He first showing brings RJ becoming the strict bodyguard to Dalla with escaping from a gun down will keep RJ with Dalla even when they head back to Dalla's roots, the Raiders Clubhouse, unfortunately its not safe there either, the events form Morbid will pop up and aiming for Dalla due to what happened 3 decades ago connected to her big brother Tor's past...

This is the tenth and final book in the series and is a continuation of Dalla's story. You may remember Dalla from book four, where her twin sister marries the Irish Bratva prince.

Dalla arrives in Ireland to visit her sister and meet with Greer MacKenzie. She hopes to impress Greer with her designs and launch her career as a fashion designer. When an attempt on her life is made during a showing of her designs, she is assigned a bodyguard by the MacKenzie family.

Rex, a member of the Brotherhood, considers himself a monster, trained to be the perfect soldier who does whatever is necessary to protect the family. Having already killed to protect Dalla, Rex gets the job of accompanying Dalla to the Raider's clubhouse and staying to provide security.

Dalla and Rex already drawn to one another but Rex vows to keep his distance while Dalla is equally determined to break his resolve.

The story continues to build centering on Dalla and Rex's budding relationship, those who wish to harm her, family secrets, and surprises along the way. This book is fast moving with plenty of action and suspense to hold the reader's attention.

I'm sorry to see the end of this series as the Raiders have become familiar and comfortable companions. Hopefully, we will still see glimpses of them throughout the next series centering around the Prospects.

I loved Dalla & RJ!

I loved every single book in this series and this is no different. I loved the exciting, action-packed plot and the amazing character development. You can see and feel the growth Dalla and RJ go through while the story progresses and I rooted for them from their very first encounter. RJ is Brotherhood. Security for the Mackenzies (Doran is her twin sister’s, Rev’s, husband – Irish Mafia extraordinaire). When Dalia comes to present her fashion work to Doran’s mom, RJ is there. Watching, protecting. An encounter between the two of them in the shadows ignites a fire that can’t be put out. When there is an attempt against her by Mackenzies’ enemies, he saves her, he becomes her bodyguard and is ordered to go with her back to the States and stay with her in her family’s compound. Raiders of Valhalla MC is a brotherhood – a family and Dalla is their precious MC princess. RJ knows that there is nothing he won’t do to protect her from any danger. So, when danger comes from MC enemies this time, he is there, front and center. Soon, her family becomes his, through bloodshed and love. Danger and action come hand in hand with self-discovery, acceptance and true, deep feelings. I loved every line and I can’t wait for the next series about the prospects Elizabeth Knox has announced (I would love to read their stories). 5 stars!

Received as an ARC and leaving my honest review voluntarily. Note that there is violence and death depicted so sensitive readers to read with caution. Scandal is the final book in the Raiders Of Valhalla MC New Blood series and Dalla and RJ's story was a wonderful end to the series.

Dalla is Revna's twin and RJ is from the Irish Brotherhood, protection for the Mackenzie family. In some ways, it felt like we have come full circle, as Revna left the MC to marry Doran and Dalla left to stay with her twin (book 4 Sadistic) and now we have Dalla returning to the MC to seek protection from enemies in Ireland. But she becomes the target of her father's (Runes, MC President) unknown enemy and it's left to RJ and the MC to keep her safe.

This was a fast paced, exciting read with some intense steamy scenes between RJ and Dalla. I liked RJ, who comes off strong and unwavering but also willing to show his vulnerability to Dalla when it matters. I expected more from Dalla who grew up in the MC life but she is amazingly TSTL with no self-preservation instinct at all...I wanted to shake the stupidity out of her, but thankfully everything turns out well. Overall, I enjoyed the plot and pacing, and the satisfying and heartwarming HEA for the couple.

She is in Ireland, both visiting with her sister and working on her new clothing designs, when danger comes knocking on the door. She is no innocent to danger having been born an MC princess, but still gets assigned an Irish bodyguard. He is unbelievably handsome and they have a chemistry that neither can deny. When the threats increase, he follows her home to protect her there, and it is soon clear that they are not gonna be able to stay away from each other, even as the danger ramps up. If you like a hot scarred bodyguard with piercing eyes, an Irish accent and all the possessive vibes then this one might be for you. This is part of a series and while their individual romance is entirely standalone in this book, there is a lot of club backstory, family, backstory, and other couples that appear in the story and it will be helpful and give you a better reading experience if you have read the other stories first. The FMC in the story is also a twin, and her sister has her own story, that would be helpful to have read before this one. This is an interesting twist on the MC culture with them following Norse/viking traditions. The whole series has been a well written series, and I would strongly urge you to read it from the beginning.

This is the last book in the ROVMC NEW BLOOD series, and it proves that old sins cast long shadows. When the bill from the past must be paid in the present, Runes and Fern’s daughter Dalla is caught in the crosshairs. A target, she requires a bodyguard (…and I-eee-I will always love youuuuu…), and RJ from the Irish Brotherhood is tapped for the job. In fact, he insists upon it.
I loved that RJ and Dalla look at each other like they are EVERYTHING. And I love that the whole clubhouse teased them about how loud they were during the good ol’ bow-chicka-wow-wow. Dalla has her family and her career as a fashion designer, and she teaches RJ about belonging. There were two notable moments that I did not like; Dalla acted TSTL both times. I swear, all that girl needed was a sign that said “Aim here, please”. But on the whole I loved it and thought it was a good way to end the series: with family and hope.
There’s:
No cheating
Explicit Heat
Violence, language, blood, and discussion of trafficking
Bodyguard/Protector Romance, Instalove, Fast Burn (around 30-35%), and beautiful descriptions of Ireland.

This is an exciting suspense filled thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seats and the characters will captivate you. Dalla is nervous she is going to show her personal designs to Greer and hi f she likes them she will take her under her wing and could open so many doors for Dalla.She is in Ireland with her twin sister Revna and her brother in law. As even is on them she decides she needs to walk around outside to get her nerves under control in the morning she is sharing her designs with Greer and this could make her career off it could show her she is in TBE wrong profession.She's walking in the garden of flowers when she feels someone watching her.She turns and sees someone standing in the shadows . She tells him to stop being creepy and walks up to him she asks his name he says RJ then tells her to go inside its not safe .She doesn't let anyone order her around she says ill go in when I'm ready and turns her back to him then goes to the barn to see the horses.There are so many twists and turns to this story you will be riveted til the very last page.I can hardly wait to see what's next by this multi talented author.

This biker mafia romance offers a really engaging mix of danger, tension, and slow-burn attraction. He’s assigned to protect her, and of course, that professional distance doesn’t last long. What makes this story work so well is how fiercely both of them fall—despite his constant denial of his feelings because “it’s not professional.”
The forced proximity element is done nicely (one bed, broken mattress, escalating threats), and with every external danger closing in, their emotional bond grows stronger and more intense. The chemistry feels natural, not rushed, and the stakes keep the story moving at a good pace.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable read with a strong protector dynamic, mounting tension, and a romance that develops naturally under pressure. If you enjoy biker mafia romances with emotional depth, forced proximity, and characters who fight their feelings until they can’t anymore, this one is definitely worth picking up.

To see Dalla finally find her happiness made this such a lovely book to read. Over the course of the previous books where Dalla makes an appearance, all though she seemed outwardly happy, you could tell that although she was happy, she didn't seem to be fully happy. But in this book, we see Dalla finally become happy, through having the confidence to be open, and putting her heart out on display, not just in pursuing RJ and showing him that there is nothing wrong with wanting something for himself, but also in her designs at the beginning of the book.

This was another really, well written and engrossing instalment in the series; and if you are looking for a dark MC romance book, I would recommend this book. Although, I would recommend reading the other books in the series, for a full picture of all of the character's.

Dalla gree up in theRaiders of Valhalla MC the daughter of the president. She's in Ireland visiting her sister and to meet a high profile designer to show her personal designs.
RJ is a member of what's called the Brotherhood. He was raised to be a weapon. He finds Dalla walking in the gardens and tells her she needs to go inside. Then he's shook because she actually sees him.
The next day he's asked to protect her. He notices a visitor that makes alarm bells ring in his mind. He gets to Dalla before the man can shot her. Then discovers there are two others. Once he takes out all the threats he gets her moving and they head to a safehouse.
Now the two are in one spot and each has to figure out their feelings.
Will more threats happen? Who will win?
A fascinating story which takes us to another country and what can happen there.

Rex and Dalla. The Botherhood and the MC combination. The aggressively protective officer from Dublin. The designer from Tallahassee. They have a lot in common..both are strong willed, but hers can be dangerous to the point of wilfull. Despite knowing danger is stalking the club, her reactions at times put her at risk. I didn't like her behaviour about half way through the storyline. It was contradictory to her knowledge and acceptance of the need for protection. He is torn between protection and stifling..he is cautious and she is reckless, acting immediately without care despite knowing she is under personal threat.
It all combines to bring almost war to the fore as her rescue is paramount to all. The MC must retain control and dominance over their territory and old scores are at the heart of it.

This book was sweet Dalla and her sister Revna have gone through alot over the years since they were told one of them would be married off to the Irish..Mackenzie's. That was Revna and Dalla was left wondering if she should continue on her medical studies or become a designer like she wants and with the Mackenzie's she is able to when she is taken under the wing of Greer her sisters mother in law. But now it seems as she debuts her first collection the people who wanted to hurt her father are after her only RJ is tasked with being her bodyguard.
Was alittle surprised with the setting of this storyline and the proximity to other club members being in hearing distance definitely didn't give the over protective biker dad vibes that you better not be touching my daughter that I expected.
The ending was very anticlimactic for me that no sooner did you find out who it could be it was done.
Loved RJ and hope to hear about them in future books

Well now Dalla, daughter of Runes and Fern, is in Ireland with her twin sister Revna and her husband Doran. Dalla is here for a meeting with Doran's mother Greer Mackenzie about her designs, a chance to showcase some of her own work.
RJ Malone, a member of the Brotherhood who guards the MacKenzies, watches as Dalla, nervous about the upcoming meeting, slips out into the darkened garden. She stops and turns to where he stands in the shadows and calls him out, eyes lock and both are caught in the moment.
When RJ is told he will be her protector he tries to get out of it but is left with no choice, then when an attempt is made on her life he is determined to protect her whatever the cost.
Full of action, vengeance and a sprinkling of romance.

Scandal (Raiders of Valhalla MC: New Blood, Book 10) by Elizabeth Knox delivers high-stakes romance wrapped in danger, loyalty, and raw emotion. The bodyguard trope shines as Rex Malone—brooding, lethal, and deeply guarded—collides with Dalla’s strength and vulnerability. Their chemistry is intense, forged under fire, and elevated by a protector who would scorch the earth to keep her safe. The suspense tightens with a chilling kidnapping and a secret that raises the stakes even higher. Emotional, action-packed, and fiercely romantic, this installment proves that sometimes love isn’t soft—it’s survival.

Dalla is Revna's twin, the one who was promised to Doran Volkov (Sadistic). She travels to Ireland to meet with Greer Mackenzie (Corrupted Love), Doran's mother about her fashion line. She takes a walk outside and sees man in the shadow's, RJ Malone one of the Brotherhood, their attraction is instantaneous. He is assigned to protect her but when someone tires to hurt her at the fashion show, he is on a plan to Tallahassee with her.

There is more going on with the Raiders of Valhalla MC, that puts Dalla in danger. The more the pair spend time together the closer they become, Rj is ready to stay with her forever. When she is taken, RJ and the MC will need to move quick to save her.

I loved RJ, he never had much family in his life, being welcomed into the the fold was just what he needed.

This was a great ending to a great series. The characters all seem to play well together and brings the story to life. Dalla and and RJ are thrown together by credible threats both in Ireland and in Florida. When they meet the attraction is off the charts and neither knows what to think of the other, only that they want each other. In America, they grow closer and are soon in love with each other, and are trying to figure out a way to be together. When ancient trouble comes back to haunt Runes and Tor, by going after Dalla, then all bets are off, because not only does the trouble have the MC after them, but also one very angry Irishman, who will burn down the world for her. Together the MC and RJ takes care of the problem and rescue Dalla, and that is when RJ and Dalla’s. Life really begins.

This is the final book in the Raiders of Valhalla MC: New Blood, and finally we get a story for Dalla, the prez' daughter.

With threats always surrounding the MC, Dalla, the Prez's dreamer daughter needs a bodyguard. Enter RJ, he is part of the Dublin chapter. He is not too happy to shadow her, but there is something about her that calls to him, and she also sees beyond his facade. Their attraction cannot be denied, and their passion is explosive. She is used to the OTT sentiments she has seen in the club, but when she is taken, she will experience first hand the lengths to which RJ is willing to go to protect what is his, and she is ready to give him a future !!

A great ending story to close this series.

Rex “RJ” and Dalla

Tropes:
* Dark Mafia/MC
* Forced proximity
* Bodyguard
* Surprise pregnancy
* MC princess

Wow… what a way to finish off this series, and circle it almost back to Tor.

Dalla travels to Ireland and meets RJ, where he’s assigned to be her bodyguard. They fall… fast…

This was emotionally driven with a bit of action, in the form of an enemy from Tor and Rune’s past seeking revenge. RJ and Dalla were gorgeous together, but once Dalla was taken, RJ’s protectiveness came to the front, and I loved seeing him take the lead.

Irish Mafia/brotherhood and MC culture unite and blend two worlds in a new way. Such an enjoyable finish to this entire series, and a nice bridge to a new world if the author chooses to do so.

Another great addition to the series and this was my favorite couple -- RJ and Dalla -- too bad this book is the end of the series. RJ is a Brotherhood bodyguard assigned to Dalla, the MC princess. It is instant love for both of them, but RJ fights it because he feels unworthy of her. Dalla is a very strong, confident, and straight forward woman and pushes him to embrace his feelings. They have great chemistry and banter all while dealing with the danger that surrounds Dalla and her father's club. The club is still fighting the trafficking ring and RJ is joining the fight because somehow it is tied to Dalla and her father. I enjoyed how the danger was resolved and how RJ and Dalla resolve their relationship. Definitely recommend.

I so loved RJ and Dalla’s story. Dalla has been trying to find her way her passion and she is so talented as a designer and can’t wait to see where it’s going to take her. What she didn’t expect was having RJ as a bodyguard when someone tried to kill her. These two are so opposite but the chemistry and passion they feel for each other is off the hook. RJ is her protectork, but the lines are getting blurred as his feelings for her grow the more they are together. When he learns of the trafficking from her father, RJ knows he has to keep her safe and when she doesn’t listen to him when he tells her it’s not safe to be without protection, she could be lost forever and they are just getting started. This was a great read, one of my fav authors in the MC world.

Dalla and Rj the light and the dark. When they first met they both couldn't think but of each other when a situation arises they go back to Florida and things become heated between them and with club. When a person from the past steps into the light and reveals herself things take a dangerous turn for Dalla. As they navigate their relationship and the threat a surprise is found out and she gets taken and Rj must find her before its too late to save her. Their lives are about to change for the good or the bad has yet to be decided. He will burn the world to keep her and she will light to keep him from the dark. Another amazing, emotional, action packed, spicy, and some laugh out loud moments, and more. These two give a read you don't want to miss. Can't wait to read what she has next.
