Payback

**Received ARC for a fair and honest review** Payback is book 2 in the Viking Bastards MC series. This is Gage, Zach's brother from book 1's story. This can be read as a standalone, but is better read in order. Amelia/Amy Davis/Crane was the daughter of the Enforcer for the Silver Wolves MC, when she was 15 years old her father was murdered by Axle Reynolds of the Viking Bastards MC. When she is presented with an opportunity for revenge against the Bastards she jumps on it, taking a job at Odin's a bar owned by Axle Reynolds son and Bastards member, Gage. Gage has a strict hands off policy when it comes to his employees, but when he meets Amelia, he isn't sure if he will be able to stick to his own policy. I really enjoyed this book and the premise of this story, but the execution fell a little short. It had a lot of potential to be a 5 star book had the premise been strengthened. Too much of the premise was glossed over and minimized and the end of the story ended rather abruptly, leaving you with a lot of questions. The book was a fast read, was good, but would have been better if the storyline was strengthened up, and the ending wasn't so abrupt. Overall it was a good read, and I would recommend. Happy Reading!!

I really liked this book! A bit more of the MC side than the prior book but still not a hardcore MC read. It's sexy, rough, and full of twists that keep you turning the page. This is Gage's story. Gage is Zach's brother (Zach from the first book Hooked). While this one can be read and enjoyed without reading the first book, it was nice to have the backstory to this family. Amelia is looking for revenge at first. She's been told all her life that Gage's MC was responsible for her father's death. With that in mind she applies for a job at Gage's bar. Her plans quickly change once she gets to know Gage. Will the past keep these two apart or will they find a way to have a future together? Definitely a book I would recommend.

Great reading! I love Gage and Amelia's storyline. There was action, romance and It was captivating! Another one of my favorites! :)
