Odin's Bastards #2
Warrior Nights
Liam Wolfson, the professional assassin, is dead. His new persona, Jack Hammerson, lives in a small town in Colorado, happy helping out as many of the townsfolk as he can. It’s his way of working toward some kind of redemption for his sins. Until one night when an amnesiac woman falls into his arms, calling out his old name...
Kara remembers nothing about her previous life, only brief glimpses of an old lover and their time together... but she knows her fate is entwined with Liam's. Then there’s the familiarity with all things Valkyrie and Valhalla. She worries she might be going crazy.
Liam has worked hard to hide all traces of his old life but Kara rips old wounds open as their old feelings for each other come rushing back. But it's not just Kara who's come to town looking for answers. When mercenaries arrive looking for Liam, he’ll need Kara to remember what she’s capable of if either of them is going to survive...

I've previously read a sci fi story by this author which I found very entertaining so was obviously interested in what she would do with what seemed to be a paranormal story. I don't see a lot of books around that take on Norse mythology and if honest I wasn't exactly overwhelmed by the synopsis but still i was piqued enough to want to discover more and actually I thought it far better than I expected.
Essentially we have an assassin trying hard to change his ways and actually do good following a life changing and terrifying event. Did Liam actually see what he thought or was battle fatigue affecting him ?
Kara has no memory and yet somehow turns up at Liams door knowing his name. Liam has vivid recollections of one very passionate week with Kara and for some odd reason trusts her as they both reconnect and try to discover who Kara really is. Their search for answers brings horrific consequences though as the past starts to catch up but Liam isn't the only one who is deadly !
Ok I really wasn't impressed by the cover and it nearly stopped me downloading this but I'm glad I did . I thought that even though there are tentative links to the Norse world (particularly at the end ) this worked pretty well as a straightforward good versus bad guys story. I'm very used to Greek mythology playing a part in paranormal romance so this series has great potential but alas for this reader it lacked a little something although frankly I can't quite say what was missing for me. An enjoyable read and one that I found easily filled my afternoon.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair.

Kara has some unusual skills, an inexplicable attraction to Liam, and a bad case of amnesia. She remembers having a big dose of pride and judgement, along with a flitting memory of wings and armor, but how is that supposed to help her figure out who she is?
Liam has spent a few years trying to shake his persona of professional assassin and become someone worthy of forgiveness. Having a memorable, if past fling suddenly show up on his doorstep raises his sixth sense that his past has finally caught up to him and it isn’t a good thing.
Taking place over a few months, follows Liam and Kara as they try to discover who she really is and why she’s here with Liam. The glimpses into Kara’s past was a precursor to what her job was, yet Nantus kept me guessing as to what direction Liam and Kara would be allowed to go for the future.
Book two in Odin’s Bastard series, Warrior Nights can easily be read as a stand alone. I liked the premise of dipping into mythology with Odin, Valhalla, Helheim and the Valkyries! It’s a realm I’m not super familiar with (besides Thor movies and yummy Chris Hemsworth!) and it was a fun change over Roman or Greek mythology based stories. If mythology, action, romance, and some colorful characters are your thing, then this book is worth a spin!

Sheryl Nantus has solidified herself as one of my go to fantasy/paranormal authors with Warrior Nights. This is the second book in the Odin’s Bastards series and is truly a standalone read. Surprisingly, I found myself a little disappointed that Brenna and Eric from Her Alpha Viking did not make an appearance. However, I can completely understand why they didn’t.
In Her Alpha Viking, Kara was cast in the villainess role. She took her mission regarding Brenna and Eric too far. The result was her banishment from Valhalla. Now she has been cast down to Earth with no memory of her past or how she ended up on the doorstep of Liam Wolfson.
After leaving the military, Liam’s only skillset was killing. He turned that into a lucrative career as an assassin. Liam excelled at his job, until one day a series of events made him rethink his life. Liam walked away from everything, including his last contract, without completing the job. He changed his name and is now on the run. “To try and erase the red from my ledger. I help who I can when I can.” For the past year, he has been Jack Hammerson, working at a bottling company and helping out where he can in the small Colorado town of Everett’s Ridge aka the Ridge.
On a stormy night, he awakens to hear a strange noise outside his door. Upon opening the door, Kara stumbles into his arms calling him Liam. He immediately recognizes her, but the question becomes how did she find him. It’s true the two met over a year ago in Las Vegas and spent a no-strings attached week together, but they parted ways without any way to contact each other. If Kara can find him so can his enemies. In his gut, Liam knows this can only mean his past is catching up with him. “When it’s the right time, you will remember.” Enlisting the help of the local sheriff, Kara and Liam wait for answers about who she is. They also discover the passion they felt in Las Vegas still burns hot.
When they least expect it, Liam's past reappears in the form of The Sons of Cain, a mercenary group known for their perfect success rate. With a massive winter storm cutting the town off from help, Liam and Kara must figure out how to save the town and the people they have grown to love. “Tell me how we can save the Ridge.” Start by remembering who you are and what you once were. “I’m a warrior. I don’t retreat or surrender.” Well then. “Fly Valkyrie, fly. Fight for what you love. For who you love.” And so with the lives of those they love and care about on the line, these two warriors go to battle, knowing it could very well be their last. May the Gods be with them as they fight to redeem themselves and save the town and its people.
I loved Warrior Nights. My biggest complaint about Her Alpha Viking was that I didn't feel it was intense enough. Warrior Nights made up for that. It was intense, with the added bonus of a little suspense. From the beginning, I was rooting for Kara and Liam. Sheryl did a really good job of showing readers how Kara and Liam became the people they are today. I liked that we were introduced to Dark Valkyries and got a glimpse of what their lives are like. Warrior Nights wasn't predictable. In fact, one of the reasons I loved it so much was the twist thrown in.
The heroine of the next book is introduced in this one. There was just enough of her to know that her job is wearing on her. I hope I’m correct in sensing that the next book is going to be epic. Seriously, I wish I could read it now. The Odin’s Bastards series is binge worthy and definitely belongs on your keeper shelf.

Sheryl Nantus is a new-to-me author and definitely one I’m keeping an eye out on. Warrior Nights was an interesting read with captivating characters and a intriguing storyline...kept me on the edge of my seat as I read to find out what was going on.

*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
Damn, this one hurts. After reading the first one, I was already hesitant in picking this up, but that cover was just too tempting! (Side note, glad the cover was adjusted from the one I was given 😉)
Kara is the only returning character from the first book (yes, this can be read as a stand alone). In this installment, we meet her, unconscious, at the door of a mysterious man who actually recognizes her, even though she has no memory of who she is or how she knows him (even though she knows his real name). As she starts putting the pieces together, the question becomes, is she there to save him, or kill him?
Liam, aka Jack, knows the woman at his apartment. In fact, he knows her very intimately. But that was a year ago and she walked out in him. So why is she here now and how did she find him? Is his past coming back to haunt him?
Just like the first installment, I felt like there was something missing. In my opinion, nothing really “happened” until mid way through the book and even that dragged for me. And besides reading about the Valkyrie in books, nothing PNR-y happens until the last couple of chapters. And since these two already had a sexual past, I didn’t even “feel” those scenes. Sigh....I’m so sorry 😐

ARC REVIEW
Odin's Bastards #2, I love Norse Mythology so the idea of Valkyries really appealed to me. The first half of the book was slow getting to the point, it establishes Liam and Kara's relationship past and present while Kara tries to remember who she is but other than that nothing much happens. The second half of the book picks up it has lots of action, suspense everything is revealed and it has a really nice ending.
Liam was a paid assassin until he had his come to Jesus moment after that he dropped everything, gave all his blood money away and started his life over determined to make up for his past misdeeds. Liam found himself in a quaint little mountain town he became a jack of all trades and became Jack. One dark and stormy night that all changed, Kara shows up on his doorstep. If you have read the first book you can guess why Kara is all alone with no memory and only brief glimpses of a man she once knew, for the rest of us newbs we don't figure it out until much later.
Kara and Liam met a year ago and spent a week together, one long sex capade. Liam worked hard to cover his tracks and is at first leery when Kara shows up, but that soon changes to desire and they both give. Together they work in peace for a while until the group Liam use to work with shows up now Liam and Kara have to protect the town from them and brave a snow storm.
Overall despite the really slow beginning it ended well and the characters were great. This can be read as a stand alone, thankfully. The narrative was intriguing; the slow beginning was mysterious I wanted to find out what had happened. I am glad I didn't give up because the ending really paid off. I liked the build up of the relationship between Kara and Liam because you see that it's more than the physical attraction; they give into it fairly quickly but they also connect on a deeper level they trust each other and genuinely like each other despite their pasts and will stand by each other through thick and thin.

Who’s looking for a smart, sexy, romantic suspense with a slight PNR twist? You’ll find it in Warrior Nights. It’s the second book in this terrific Odin’s Bastards series, but it truly stands alone.
I loved the dynamic between Liam and Kara. How Liam, though living a completely different life—a life of goodness and helping those in need—than when their paths crossed a year ago, never hesitated in taking in Kara.
And Kara, she’s a hot mess. She has no recollection of how she ended up on Liam’s doorstep. She only knows her name and his. But as her memory flickers back to life, she’s remembering things that should only be written about in fairy tales—or seen in nightmares. Is she going crazy or is Valhalla real and Valkyries too.
But as the days pass, Kara and Liam integrate themselves more and more into small town life. And they find themselves quickly falling for each other. When danger to Liam, Kara and the town arrives, will they run or will they fight?
I absolutely loved the romance between Liam and Kara. Loved how they both grew as people through their experiences and through their love of each other. I also loved the dynamic between Kara and Liam and their fellow townspeople. That they loved the town and Liam and Kara too. This Odin’s Bastards series is such fun and it keeps you guessing as to just what is really going to happen with the Valkyries in the end. ~ Missy, 4.5 stars

The second book in the Odin’s Bastards series a thrill a minute ride that keeps readers glued to its pages. Liam and Kara are two strong, bold characters that really stand out and grab readers’ attentions as they struggle with personal demons and outside forces. Their romance is full of sizzling chemistry, blistering passion and lots of emotional turmoil, the kind centering on their inner demons and which really lets readers get to know their characters. Their romance is also hampered by Kara’s inability to remember who she is, what she is and where she came from which adds to the sense of expectation of events to come.
The fast pace and smooth flowing plot is full of thrilling anticipation, dangerous excitement, good deeds and the drive to be better. The suspense builds as Liam and Kara try to find the key to unlocking Kara’s memory and with some surprising twists danger comes calling from Liam’s past, a past that may put Liam back on the wrong path. This fascinating series has just gotten better with this new addition and the world is mysterious and exciting with the author’s own spin to Norse mythology and the Valkyries. Entering this world causes readers to become completely under its spell from beginning to end and maybe even beyond.

Warrior Nights took me by surprise as the characters are written so well and I really enjoyed Kara and Jack's (Liam) romantic adventures. The danger, the excitement, amnesia, chemistry, romance, and character development kept me reading until way too late last night so that I could find out what happened. Liam was a dangerous assassin, but Jack has a big heart full of thanks and service to help others.
I thought the amnesia part would be a little overdone as it seems like this story has been told too many times. Instead, I was delighted with the uncovering of some of Kara's memories of Valkyrie and Valhalla. The discomfort that Jack experiences when Kara latches on to a childhood book on the same topics intrigued me..and of course there is quite the story there!
Warrior Nights offers themes of redemption and discovery of who we are and what we want our purpose to be in life. I love the way author Sheryl Nantus weaves these themes within the adventures and danger. Definitely a fun read!!!

This one was really, really good with the suspense and secrets that were going on there.
One night Kara just appeared on the doorstep of Liam's house with no memory of who she is or was. She just knows that she knows him (a feeling) and his name. Yes, that sucks. But... what if he's hiding and now could blow it away?
But there is a connection between them everything will be going on so fast that your head will be spinning and there will be lots of hot scenes as their connection will be palpable!
Really good contemporary romance with paranormal elements that add a good intriguing layer to the whole story.

Kara has fallen from grace. In other words, she's no longer a Valkyrie and finds herself walking on earth with hardly any memory. Really, the only thing she can recollect is the time she spent with Liam Wolfson. When she arrives on his doorstep, she finds he doesn't have the answers she needs to discover who she is. However, when the past collides with the present, Liam and Kara find they'll need to trust each other to survive the people coming after them. Will Liam and Kara be able to keep each other safe or will they die trying?
Ms. Nantus does it again in writing a wonderfully-crafted, fast-paced, absolutely enthralling paranormal romance that I could not put down for even a second. Then again, a story encompassing a Valkyrie, a sexy hero, a few mentions of Ragnarok, Gods such as Odin and Freyja, and a good dose of suspense is a book too hard to pass up in reading for a reader that loves romance suspense and all things mythological. The way this story started had me loving the hero and heroine immediately and also had me sympathizing with the pair, as the hero is determined to atone for his past and having the heroine back in his life is trouble waiting to happen. Will someone discover how much of a connection they have and will they use it against Liam?
As for the dialogue, it was intense and utterly captivating due to the main characters back stories, the suspense that had me worried for Liam and Kara, and the obstacles these two face to be together. Will the hero be able to accept the fact that Kara was a Valkyrie? Will the heroine return to her duties as a Valkyrie? Will the pair be able to defeat the people coming after them? Moreover, both the main characters are fantastic and so are the secondary characters who definitely make this story exciting because of the suspense and interesting with the way people of a small town are so big on gossip and getting to know everyone.
With the main characters, I loved the heroine's resilience, her courage and her determination to get to the bottom of who she was. How did she come to find herself on Liam's doorstep? Why can't Kara remember what happened to cause her to lose her memory? I also liked how determined she is to help Liam because she's not going to let him face whoever they're up against alone. Luckily, she's almost as skilled as he is. If not more skilled, considering everything she learnt as a Valkyrie. While the hero, I loved his confidence when it comes to going up against the bad guys since he has some serious skills. I also loved his determination to protect the heroine. She doesn't deserve to be dragged into the mess they find themselves in. Yet, what I liked most of all is that Kara doesn't back down from anything and challenged the hero.
Overall, Ms. Nantus has delivered a superb read in this book where the chemistry between this couple was off-the-charts; the romance was full of heat and passion; and the ending had me worried for the main characters, but had me loving how things work out for the best for these two. However, it was the ending that wrapped this story up perfectly, as Kara has exciting news. I would recommend Warrior Nights by Sheryl Nantus, if you enjoy paranormal romance, the second chance romance trope or books by authors Nina Croft, Dana Marie Bell, Gina L. Maxwell and Abigail Owen.

While the first of the "Odin's Bastards" series was a love letter to the men and women of the armed forces, Veterans especially, this book takes its own turn into one very specific Veteran and his struggles toward redemption. The core of the story is just that, and I think it comes at a particularly necessary time. Lately we've been mired in so much suffering, violence, racism, sexism and degradation of any values that ever made America "great", it feels like there is no hope for us to be "redeemed", or even healed from our current dreadful state. America especially, but humanity as a whole as well.
Enter "Warrior Nights". Powerful, poignant; the story was a cleansing experience in an increasingly chaotic and painful world. Is that not what great literature, or indeed our favorite books, movies and shows (no matter how underappreciated, niche or 'guilty' a pleasure) are truly meant for? To take us away from what ails us and give us reprieve, eventually to emerge strengthened again to face the world?
"Warrior Nights" reflects many of these themes. Forgetting in order to escape and be reborn, finding your way again in a dark existence, striving toward redemption, and most importantly, hope. Hope for the future, for a new life, for renewal and sweetness in love. And yes, Sheryl, for all of these reasons, I think the ending was perfect.
Picking up where "Her Alpha Viking" left one of the core characters, we find Kara without her memory, stumbling back inexplicably into the arms of a man without his past. Both of them have started a different track, unaware of where each other has come from, knowing only that their connection is important. Liam is surprised to see his sizzling-hot one night stand reappear, not knowing who she is or where she came from, but he can't help but reach out and take her in. As the two of them begin to find a way toward each other, their separate pasts converge and also take them on a fraught journey through hell (with the threat of Hel looming), combining elements of suspense and heroism along with steamy romance and the perfect touch of pure sweetness. It's "John Wick" meets "Thor" dressed up to see "The Princess Bride", but this time Buttercup comes with wings and a lance.
Once again, the blending of the Viking mythos is deftly handled, overlaying the contemporary setting with pure magic. It's proof positive that the old gods never died, they just waited for their stories to be picked up and spread once more. I'm sure Odin and Freyja are looking down upon this series and smiling at the tribute. Sheryl remains true to form in developing a realistic, passionate, healthy, honest relationship between Kara and Liam, handling some deeper, darker subject matter with grace, and not giving in to so many cliches that often surround the romance and erotic genres, particularly men with dark secrets and women as eternal victims of violence. As with all of the books of hers I have read, she gives us nuanced and human characters, men and women both shown strong and shown vulnerable, but striving, surviving, fighting, and living for what they believe.
Brava, madam, looking quite forward to the next one, as always.
Enter "Warrior Nights". Powerful, poignant; the story was a cleansing experience in an increasingly chaotic and painful world. Is that not what great literature, or indeed our favorite books, movies and shows (no matter how underappreciated, niche or 'guilty' a pleasure) are truly meant for? To take us away from what ails us and give us reprieve, eventually to emerge strengthened again to face the world?
"Warrior Nights" reflects many of these themes. Forgetting in order to escape and be reborn, finding your way again in a dark existence, striving toward redemption, and most importantly, hope. Hope for the future, for a new life, for renewal and sweetness in love. And yes, Sheryl, for all of these reasons, I think the ending was perfect.
Picking up where "Her Alpha Viking" left one of the core characters, we find Kara without her memory, stumbling back inexplicably into the arms of a man without his past. Both of them have started a different track, unaware of where each other has come from, knowing only that their connection is important. Liam is surprised to see his sizzling-hot one night stand reappear, not knowing who she is or where she came from, but he can't help but reach out and take her in. As the two of them begin to find a way toward each other, their separate pasts converge and also take them on a fraught journey through hell (with the threat of Hel looming), combining elements of suspense and heroism along with steamy romance and the perfect touch of pure sweetness. It's "John Wick" meets "Thor" dressed up to see "The Princess Bride", but this time Buttercup comes with wings and a lance.

"Warrior Nights" is an interesting fantasy/thriller with some romance elements. Kara shows up at Liam's door without any memories of her life or knowledge of where she has been- she only knows her and his names. Considering that Liam is going by a different name and hasn't seen Kara since the week they spent together in Vegas over a year ago, Liam is shocked by this turn of events. He takes Kara into town to try to track down who she was before.
Kara learns that Liam was an assassin who had a revelation when he was working as a mercenary and is working to turn his life around. He saw some soldiers come to take rations from a village, but the villagers had none to spare and the soldiers attacked. After the battle ended with many civilian casualties, valkyries came to take the civilians to Valhalla and other valkyries came for the soldiers. After that, he gave his money to charity and now gives back in whatever ways he can. He is trying to move forward in a better way- although he knows he cannot erase the red in his ledger, he wants to do some good with the rest of his life.
Kara is helping him and contributing for herself as well. Although she doesn't remember all of her past, she wants to do good also. As they spend more time together, their romance is rekindled. However, their happiness is soon to be short-lived when Liam's past catches up to him. Following with fantasy/thriller/action scenes, the book is very fast-paced and the romance takes a backseat to the overall plot of the battles/dangers.
I found the book really interesting and not quite what I expected- but enjoyable nonetheless. The story was really engaging, and like Kara and Liam, I also fell in love with the town and its people. It was easy to get invested in the story and in the backstory of the two main characters. I would definitely be interested in reading more from this world (but with even more romance!). There are some really great romance scenes in the first half of the book, but the second half is a little full of other things (e.g. battles and danger)- I'd be up for more in this case though! I would definitely recommend this book for people who like fantasy/thriller type stories with a dose of romance!

Not my kind of book. The synopsis does a good outline of the storyline (where I managed to get thru which wasn’t very far, just about 60pgs); it was mainly the heroine that I found hard to connect to, as more was revealed.
Liam and Kara had a week long fling (think a marathon sex week) in Las Vegas “no commitments, no questions asked, 1st names only” sort of fling where she picks him up at a bar (ugh) and takes him to her suite, all paid with by a stolen credit card that she filches off a “careless woman – serve her right for not being responsible with her stuff” (more ugh).
Kara has amnesia and somehow lands at Liam’s doorstep uttering his name. He takes her in – he definitely remembers her! – and not only gives her a place to stay when she has nothing with her but literally the clothes on her back, but goes everything out of his way to help her figure out her identity.
Given his past, he is well armed (pistol, blade!) and is instinctively defensive when surprised. I found it weird that Kara goes all “OMG, what are you and can I trust you? You better come clean on who you are” when that happens after he takes her in (she happily allows him to take her in) & he tells her all the details about his sordid past then.
I stopped reading soon thereafter. The story didn’t make sense even given it’s fiction and PNR at that.

Liam is attempting to salvage his soul. Once an assassin, he finally got to his breaking point and went off the grid. Now he lives in Nowheresville and is enjoying small town life as the local handyman. But Fate has decided Liam's life has been far too placid and decides to dump a tempting morsel right in his lap.
Kara (the beotch of a Valkyrie from book 1!) had a bit of a torrid one-weeker with Liam in Vegas before Liam began his self-enforced redemption. But she arrives at his door and has no clue how she got there or even who she is. She only recalls his name and that she feels safe with him.
But as Kara's memory resurfaces will she remember everything about her time with Liam? Or will she realise that there is more to her landing on his doorstep than she thought?
I'm a sucker for all sorts of mythology and the Norse Pantheon do tend to get forgotten about (well except Thor obv!). Whilst there is artistic licence, the storyline stays pretty close to the main traits of the Odin and the Valkyries. I was worried I wouldn't like this book as much as book 1 because Kara was such a beotch but she actually grew on me! Really enjoyed the parallel redemption storylines and the love and understanding shown by the townspeople to Liam and Kara.
The final battle scene was awesome - it was in my head like a movie set! Well worth a read!

A phenomenal mix of the mundane and the magical!
The story line was a fast-paced but smoothly flowing - From the opening storm to the final strike of lightning - I was engaged and excited with the turn of each page to see what surprises were in store for our cast next. The author did a superb job of building the suspense tossing in some substantial twists and casting a bit of misdirection throughout the story line
The
Characters -
Liam- A retired assassin who just wanted to start over - was that too much to ask?
Kara - An amnesia suffering heroine that we truly do not know a whole lot about - she gets flashes of memory but are they real? or is she truly losing her mind?
A small town of very entertaining and at times surprising supporting characters
Warrior Nights is filled with action and suspense with a background of romance
Does not disappoint!
Definitely, recommend for those who enjoy fantasy/paranormal packed with action and suspense
*Note - This is the first book I have read from this author, the copy I read was a comp to me, from my understanding this is not the first in this series - I had no trouble reading this as a standalone and will be investigating this author further as I found her work well written and highly entertaining

Liam Wolfson is an ex mercenary living with a new identity. He is trying to atone for the sins of his past. He is happy in the little village out in the middle of nowhere. When someone he met in his previous life suddenly turns up, it puts him on edge.
Kara can't remember who she is, or how she got to his home. Trying to find out who she really is could bring all sorts of trouble down on them.
Our hero had a battlefield vision that made him re-evaluate his life. How can he ever make up for all he has done.
Our heroine has also has battlefield experience, that much is true from the memories that appear. Will that help when the time comes.
A wonderful romantic suspense with lots of secrets and danger. Is it ever to late to redeem your soul? I thoroughly enjoyed ever page in this story. It is part of a series , but each book can be read on it's own. There is much more to this than it first seems.
I loved it.

I haven't read the first book in the series, and while I was a little concerned that I would be lost, I found the book easy to follow and probably in fact can be read as a stand alone. While I did find the beginning a bit slow, it is mainly necessary to set up the relationship between Liam and Kara, whom by the way are brilliant characters, well developed and vastly entertaining. Ok though.. I thought that the amnesia plot line would be kind of hokey or over done, but it really works. The use of Norse mythology here is great not to many paranormal or romance books bring that out. They really are quite extraordinary tales, so to see them in the more hah mundane setting was cool.
The characters have really nuanced backgrounds and way the current day story explains them is great..via memory or the characters telling each other.. comes across as warm and natural.
Nantus does a great job keeping the writing style smooth and fluid as well as a nice build up of suspense with a little whoops fooled ya there. Overall I found it to be a quick and enjoyable read that made me want to drag out all my books about Norse mythology especially the Valkyrie.

Warrior Nights was incredibly unique. I loved the plot! Sheryl Nantus completely captured me with Liam and Kara's story.
I love mythology, especially Norse. Mix in a former assassin and a woman with amnesia and it completely had me!
Though this is the second book in the Odin's Bastard series, it holds it's own and can be enjoyed as a standalone. I will be going back and read the first book. I loved Liam completely and Kara was an excellent character. I blasted through this book because I needed to know what was coming next. It was an amazing read, one I definitely recommend.

Warrior Nights by Sheryl Nantus is the second story in her Odin’s Bastard series, an exciting and action packed paranormal romance with a Norse mythology theme.
When Kara shows up on Liam Wolfson’s doorstep in a remote Colorado mountain town it’s a sign that Liam’s past is not forgotten, despite his efforts to make amends for his previous mercenary acts. Kara has amnesia, no idea how she got there or why but with the knowledge that she and Liam have a history. Liam, who has made for himself a new identity, remembers the sexy week he spent a year ago in Las Vegas with Kara (no last names exchanged) that ended when she disappeared. Why she’s here now and what that means is a mystery they both want solved.
As Kara starts to remember her past, jogged especially by books at the local library featuring images of Norse Gods and Valkyries, she and Liam also rekindle their heated affair. But trouble is on its way. Both of them are in danger and must work together to keep their new home safe. Can they redeem themselves in the eyes of the Gods and find their happy ever after?

I start this review by saying that the cover of the book does not do it justice. Thankfully I was not dissuaded, and found that the content of the story was exciting and a little addictive too. As a fan of Norse mythology, I was curious to see where the author would go with this second story and was fascinated by the plot, and the chemistry between Kara and Liam was intense. There’s no lack of action and danger in this book and I personally felt this was a much better story than book one.
January 29, 2019
This is a new author for me and to tell the truth it is not what I expected, what I found was a well written and exciting suspense story with wonderful characters, I just need to go grab the first book in this series.

This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand-alone. Kara has fallen from grace and is no longer a Valkyrie. She doesn’t remember her previous life but does remember Liam. Sparks fly between them but will their previous lives catch up to them? Fast-paced read with lots of drama and suspense. The story is entertaining and really draws you in. I liked it.
December 14, 2018
This was a new author for me but I will be reading more by her. I enjoyed the twists and great world building. Kara's past, present and future blended so well. Jack's lineage was a shock. The ending was just perfect.
December 28, 2018
I really enjoy this roller coaster ride of a professional assassin and Valkyrie. The story was very captivating and never a dull moment. The romance was believable and touching. I since I read it out of order, I am going to read the first book. I admit I found a new author and series.
