Normandy I thought my life was over when my ex-boyfriend, who has ties to the mob, tried to kill me. But I survived and fled, making my way to Las Vegas. Since then, I’ve been hiding in plain sight, always looking over my shoulder. And just when I think it’s safe to start living again, trouble finds me. I have no one to turn to, except my boss Sutter. And if I don’t, I’m dead. I have no other choice.
Sutter After the death of my wife and son, I never thought I could love another woman ever again. Then Normandy stepped into my tattoo shop and everything changed. Seeing her every day has me feeling things I haven’t felt in a really long time. And when Normandy comes to me for help, I can’t say no. Because in the end, saving her is the only thing that matters.
Stacy Kristen is an indie author of spicy contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and dark romance books with HEAs. She's an avid reader of romance and enjoys baking, drinking lots of caffeine, traveling, and laughing with the squirrels in her backyard.
In the ‘Desert Aces MC series prequel, ‘Vegas Redemption’, author Stacy Kristen does a great job introducing the Desert Aces MC. I really like Sutter and Normandy’s personalities and their compatibility is off the charts. Sutter’s personality and physical description match perfectly to the OTT MC member/protector without feeling contrived. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Normandy has been hiding out in Vegas from the mafia and her ex. She works at the tattoo shop with Sutter. They have an attraction between them but their past keeps them friends. He has loved and lost whileis her rock and she pulls at his soul. She knows that when they found her, he was her chance at surviving. He will protect her because he refuses to lose another love in his life. These characters were great. They story was well written with drama, danger, friendship, lust and love. I did not want their story to end. I look forward to reading more of what Stacy writes

Normandy is living and working in Las Vegas on the run from her abusive ex and the Mafia. She is working for a tattoo shop and her bosses are great. Especially Sutter who is gorgeous and makes her a little nervous! Sutter is attracted to Normandy and knows she’s running from something. He is determined to get the truth out of her and to protect her. Can he help her? Or will she have to run again? Great book that I would highly recommend!!

I really enjoyed this tense and steamy potboiler. Normandy escapes certain death at the hands of her dirty mob-linked boyfriend by living in plain sight in Vegas. She's befriended by her tattoo shop boss Sutter, who takes an interest in her well-being and, sensing the danger she’s in, soon takes her under his wing and into the protection of his biker association. Author Stacy Kristen is truly a master at writing steamy trysts, and the one-bed trope sets the scene for plenty of heat. A great, quick read with a satisfying ending.
3.5 Stars Definitely read the trigger warning. There is a lot of violence perpetrated against the FMC. It will have you cringing. Normandy goes through a lot and is constantly on her guard. Sutter is a man who thought he would never feel or crave again. This was a pretty good story, but there were unanswered questions left. How quickly they fell in love was not believable. It would have been good to have more background on both mcs. The book also needs to be edited again; too many typos and missing words.
Stacy Kristen did a great job on this book, Vegas Redemption had a strong plot that was packed with many emotions, the story was written well. Sutter and Normandy were strong character that were drawn to each other, their connection was strong. The chemistry between them was sexy, they were great together. I enjoyed this story, it was great. Thank you, Stacy Kristen. Great work :)
Vegas Redemption is a great friends to lovers romance. It was great when they finally gave into something that was always really there and allowed themselves to be happy. I really enjoyed this book.
