Title: Point of Redemption (Nordic Lords MC, #2)
Author: Stacey Lynn
Publication Date: July 30, 2014
Synopsis
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?
Review
It took me a while to get into this story, but only because I hadn't read the first book in the series so I was a bit lost on the background story of the characters (but will be remedied as I have already purchased the first book). Once I got past that, the story seemed to flow just fine; I liked the dual POV of narration. One of the things I liked about this story is that Ryker and Faith grew up together and fell in love as teenagers, so there wasn't that whole unbelievable "insta-love" in this book.
Instead, from the prologue, what started out as a terrible night, became even more tragic and horrific, along with misperception and all that adds up to is five years of the worst heartbreak, deception and cruelty that simply should never have happened. However, one thing that stood out about this story is that it didn't take the majority of the book for Ryker to understand what really happened to Faith; he found out relatively early and had no choice to accept that because of his actions and beliefs, he had an indirect hand in what eventually ended up happening to Faith.
Overall, I enjoyed this book; it was refreshing (if that's even possible in a MC story) that Ryker owned up to what he did 5 years ago and how the consequences of his actions affected his woman. And even after everything that Faith endured, she wasn't totally broken in spirit. I would have preferred that we didn't have to read about the club spending that much time on finding Cain; I would have liked to learn more about the deal with the Sporelli faction. The ending was cute (especially reading about Sophie), but now I want to know who the next book will be about, as well as Meg's mysterious phone call.
