This was my first read by Nikki J Summers, but definitely not my last. I loved this dark and twisted romance. If you aren't about that type of romance, then heed Miss Summers warning in the beginning of the book.

I absolutely loved Adam and his Olivia. I loved that she wasn't afraid to stand up to him and speak her mind. In fact, that was what drew him to her. Adam never really felt emotions until Olivia and she never felt loved. Obviously there are dark components to this story, but there's so much more. You find out some pretty heartbreaking things about the main characters lives as well. But it helped shaped them into who they were meant to be. I loved their banter and their passion! Nikki did an excellent job writing their individual lives and then bringing them together.

I look forward to finding out more about the rest of the Soldiers of Anarchy. It was interested finding out how Adam ticked and I can't wait for more!!

I received an ARC for an honest review.

While I own another book by this author, this is the first one I've read, and MAN was it a way to start my Summers journey. I was hooked the entire time. If you're looking for a dark, steamy, touch her and you'll no longer be alive kinda book then this is for you. We have it all here: anti hero with a rough past, a sassy heroine who is Adam's match in every way, and quite the band of brothers in the side characters I personally cannot wait to know more about. Not only did the relationship between Adam and Olivia have a gripped, but the relationship between Adam and the soldiers. Loved. The way Adam fully embraced the moniker he was given. Loved. The way he did not back down from Olivia no matter what. Loved. Be warned, this does not shy away from going to the dirt. It's gritty. It doesn't gloss over much. But if that sounds at all your jam, Ms. Summers has you covered. I volunteered to read and review an early copy of this. All opinions are my own.

3.5

After reading the rebels of sandland series and loving it so much I was so excited to read this.

I will start off with the slight negative which was that as we know, Adam is a psycho. But I didn't like how he constantly talked about it, saying over and over again how he's a psycho and how he has a psycho smile. I prefer to just be shown.

The other thing being that I found some of the other soldiers were justifying themselves a lot, like between each other they were trying to prove that everyone could trust them but they were a group, they'd done it hundreds of times before so i just feel like their loyalty and hard work shouldn't have even been in question.

Now on a more positive note, as always I did love Nikki's writing style, the fact it was told in dual perspective, I loved Adam and the rest of the soldiers (when he wasn't going on about how psycho he was of course haha) I loved Liv and I'm so glad she found her soulmate after having to watch her best friends fall in love.

I loved the banter between the two characters and the back and forth. As we all know I love a chase. It was nice to see Liv's family dynamic too, how close she is to her brothers and how she practically raises them.

I'm looking forward to carrying on with this new series.

amazing

This was well worth the read, slow burning with an amazing ending. Two characters who match up and who have the same front for all to see.

3.5 stars. This book has so many glorious details that are perfection. Interesting story, likable characters, and good grammer. Stalking in a tasteful way. The complexity was delicious and made this book all the more enjoyable. Would've finished it sooner but wasn't in the head space for the torture scene at like 80%. Overall I loved Adam and Olivia's story. I do wish it gave a bit more of her interactions with the group after the last chapter (would've made it a 4 star for me but

I’ll be honest. The first time that I read “The Psycho”, the opening scene in this book had me perplexed. I’m not a squeamish person, but Summers does such an excellent job describing each blow, stab, etc. that I felt like I was there. Now, once I kept reading, I got used to it and I loved it! I love Adam and Liv, and their two worlds that collide. I was so happy that each of the Sandland men were getting their own stories. They deserved it. Fantastic book.
