is a glasses-wearing biker and tech genius—quiet, high-ranking, and not the kind of man who should want someone like . She’s younger. Innocent. Completely out of place in the . And absolutely off-limits. He tried to stay away. For five years, he tried. But now she’s back—and walking away might not be possible this time.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I’ve read almost all of the Destroyers MC series (apparently skipping Book 6 by accident), and I’ve loved every single one. I didn’t even realize this wasn’t Book 6 until late in the story when references were made to a background female character I didn’t recognize. That’s on me—I’ve since corrected the oversight.

⚠️ Reading Order Note:

If you haven’t read the series, start from the beginning. You need the foundation of Walt, Indy, Finn, and the rest of the club dynamic to fully understand the tension between the Destroyers and the Rebel Souls. However, if you’ve read most of the series and accidentally skip one like I did, you likely won’t feel lost until late in the book.

This installment absolutely delivers. The angst? Strong. The emotional weight of what Rachel endures? Heavy. The spice? On point. Nikel has always been more of a quiet, background presence in the upper ranks of the club, so getting his story felt overdue—and worth the wait.

And let’s be honest: there is something wildly attractive about a biker who wears glasses. Add in tech genius energy and a protective streak? Sold. I loved the opposites-attract dynamic that slowly reveals how much they truly have in common. There are light religious elements, but they never dominate the story.

This book solidifies why I keep returning to this author’s MC world. I’ll absolutely continue the series (especially now that I have Book 6 waiting).
