Title: House of Payne: Loki
Author: Stacy Gail
Genre: Contemporary Romance/NA Romance
Release Date: February 27, 2020
Alice’s life…
…is falling apart. She’s penniless, jobless, and a week away from being evicted. Every last ounce of her misery can be dropped on the doorstep of one man—Loki, legacy member of the Gravediggers MC and tattooist at House Of Payne. One way or another, she’s going to make that monster pay.
Loki’s life…
…turns upside down when a long-legged beauty flips him onto his ass like she’s an escapee from a bad kung-fu flick. He has no clue who Alice Halliday is, but he’s determined to change that.
Their lives…
…are getting complicated. The vulnerable woman Loki sees hiding beneath a tough exterior fires up his protective instincts, and when he realizes Alice is up to her neck in all kinds of trouble, he’s determined to save the day. Sure, Gravediggers aren’t the usual kind of knight in shining armor, but Alice isn’t the usual kind of damsel in distress.
And damn, her distress is something else again.
Alice knows there are no heroes in real life, but Loki seems to be on a mission to prove her wrong. At every turn, he takes the pieces of her shattered world and builds a new one that revolves around him. But just as she begins to trust him to be the hero she needs, is he willing to let go of his Gravedigger ways to deal with the responsibility of taking care of all of her, including her heart?
WARNINGS: Due to scenes of mild violence, adult language/swearing and several explicit sexual scenes, this book is not intended for readers under the age of eighteen.
***This standalone contemporary romance contains violence, salty talk from both the hero and heroine, multiple sex scenes, and ultimately some serious Alpha male groveling. No cheating, no love triangles, no cliffhangers (but maybe a teensy glimpse of the start of a new series, heh). HEA guaranteed. Due to adult language and sexual content, this book is not intended for people under the age of eighteen***
Loki - I wasn't sure how Gail was going to spin this one - seriously -
having gotten glimpses of the giant alpha chest-beating grumpy my way or
no way meany in previous episodes I was a bit weary
But this ... this was so much more 😌
Real quick this can be read as a standalone but it is part of the House of Payne series -
One that I highly recommend reading
"One minute everything's rosy. The next, it's like a hurricane blew in, and there are tattered survivors staggering around, looking for solid ground that they can rely on. "
That ☝️ right there
That was Loki and Alice's story.
I laughed - full-on, out loud belly laughed
I cried those ugly silent tears
I held my breath hoping the next page would show some mercy
I white knuckled my kindle when I wanted to reach in and strangle a certain someone
I wanted so badly to reach out to let them know "it's gonna be okay, not sure when or how but it's gonna be okay"
Most of all - I enjoyed the journey
"This should be fun, this you-and-me thing. Can't wait to see how it turns out."
The things we do in the name of love.
I just can't get over Loki. If you have read the previous episodes in this series you are going to flip when you see Loki expose his heart. I want to climb him so bad! 🤭
"You're teaching him that when a law unto himself meets a force of nature, nature always wins"
Oh, Alice, you deserve this and so much more.
A force of nature is a kind way of describing this bundle of kinetic energy. She just blows in, rips right through the gates and spreads her magic. She has so much to give and it has been stifled, muffled. Her back story broke my heart.
The House of Payne series is such an eclectic mix of characters. Each new episode takes the reader on a wonderfully crafted journey that touches on all the feels.
Every time I come to the end of one of the books -
I don't want to close it.
I don't want to leave the House of Payne and it's family
*Sigh* Until next time 🤗
