NicolaYou know you’ve hit rock bottom when you fall down and can’t be bothered to get back up.My entire life was one endless beating, and I’d reached my breaking point. I was done.Until one day, I received a letter that gave me the strength I’d been missing. Reading it gave me enough courage to dust myself off, to try one more time.In that moment, I realized something.I wasn’t done.Not even close. realized something.
I wasn’t done.
Not even close.
And I had an entire family I didn’t even know existed standing at my back.

You know you’ve hit rock bottom when putting powder up your nose is the only way to make it through the day.
My life took a wrong turn, so I poisoned my body in an attempt to escape. I was done.
Until I found salvation on the back of a bike.
With nothing but the open road and the wind in my face, I found the courage to live.
In that moment I realized something.
I wasn’t done.
Not even close.
And my family might not be blood, but they were standing at my back.

Great start to a brand new series!We loved it from cover to cover.I will say although I loved it I am so pissed the way the story ended. OMG I hate cliffhangers and this one had one of the biggest ones that I have read so far.For me this is what turns me off from a author.I am the type who loves to read series and once I finish up my current story I am diving right into the next one.I was so engrossed and into the story that when things are finally getting really good the story just ended and oh I was so mad that I didn’t get to see the outcome.
I thought that this was really a endearing and touching story of two opposites that are attracted to one another and two really messed up people who’s past followed them right into their adult life that is still effecting their every day lives.Some other reviewers believe that It took forever to get to the romance part of the book and was slow going to this point but, for me I was okay with it as Nicola’s whole childhood was awful and then once she finally escapes that life she gets involved with a sociopath with cult beliefs that becomes a stalker and abuser.For me she just needed that time to heal and gain some of her confidence she lost along the way.But, one thing she never lost was her fire and sense of humor as she made me laugh so many times throughout the story and not only that I loved when she got her back up she turned into a fire breathing dragon. LOL
I always pick a favorite character and mine is going to be Nicola.I loved her from the very beginning.I thought her to be smart,sexy kind, fiery,had a great sense of humor and determined to overcome a past that would have left most people broken.I loved how she spoke her mind and through it all she remained so innocent in more ways then one.
My favorite quote by her would have to be telling
Irish “Make like a tree and leaf” LOL I laugh anytime I think about that quote and the chuckle & smile that it brought to Irish’s face.
For me this romance reminds me how the cat plays with the mouse before the kill.Also Nicola’s ex boyfriend reminded me so much of the movie Sleeping with the Enemy with Julia Roberts.The chemistry and attraction was always there from the very beginning between Irish and Nicola.Irish’s protective instincts took over at just one look at her. Omg!I loved how flustered that this love them and leave them kind of guy was laid low but a itty bitty girl he hadn’t even spoken to yet.I just love seeing the player being brought down by a innocent.I loved chuckling and smiling all the way though the story.
I have to say that I did love Irish.I loved his smiles and cockiness .I loved the bad boy in him and those sizzling looks of his.I sensed his loneliness and this hardened jaded biker had a side of him that he never lets anyone see yet we got a glimpse of the lonely boy who just wanted someone to love him and truly be his and his alone.I think I was a little bit in love with Irish myself .My heart broke for him as he finally has what he always wanted within his reach for the taking but, pushes the one and only thing away that truly brought him any happiness in a very long time.I loved how he was willing to put Nicola’s happiness before his own and was willing to love her from afar.I kept falling even more…
This story for me had really fun and engaging characters that made you laugh as well as cry.I have to say that I loved the sensual dance that went on between this couple as the sparks and chemistry were always between them and you new when Irish let go of all the reasons why they couldn’t be together it was going to be explosive and hot as hell and he didn’t disappoint.I just loved how he was when he was around Nicola almost as if he was a totally different person yet still as deadly.
.
I think that the author did an amazing job for her first debut novel and we are so looking forward to the conclusion of this story.I am hoping that this author plans to turn this into a series as I would so love to see some of those other love-able brothers of Irish’s be brought to their knees as they were so enjoyable to read about and they all had a wicked sense of humor.
5 stars from us
5 Star review of Where My Heart Lies (Spawns of Chaos) by Angela Marie
This is the first book from debut author Angela Marie and she certainly has dived in. This was a well written, gripping book that kept me riveted from start to finish. Please be aware that this book does end on a cliff hanger which I was not aware of; the good news it will only be a few months until we get the next book and I for one cannot wait to read it..
This is a a book based around the Spawn of Chaos MC club and as you might expect from this genre it is at times raw and gritty.
When Nicola is at the end of her rope and has decided to end her life, she accidentally uncovers a gift given to her many years ago with a phone number included. Almost as a last result she messages the woman who gave her the gift and to her utter shock she receives a response and an invitation to head back to her old home town. With nothing else to live for she makes the decision to return to the one place she thought she would never see again.
It is there that surprises await Nicola when she learns that the woman is actually her grandmother and that she is in fact the granddaughter of the president of the Spawn of Chaos.
I really loved the character of Irish, a member of the the MC who has been down but with the support of his “brothers” has turned his life around; he is the perfect blend of a tough biker, who has a heart of gold.
Both Irish and Nicola are attracted to one another from the start but having been warned off by his Pres, Irish does his best to stay away from her until he can no longer fight his feelings. Irish and Nicola have a chemistry that is sizzling and their scenes together are certainly smoking.
What will happen when Nicola’s past catches up with her? Will she survive or will this be the end for her and Irish?
