Until the door opens and an angel of mercy is thrust inside.Nurse … thrust inside.
Nurse Catherine ‘Cat’ Randall stared at the man on the bed. He’s dark and dangerous and everything she hates—just another filthy biker. Only he isn’t. He’s nothing like the others. And she’s his only hope of escape. Can she risk helping him? Can she trust a man who wears an MC patch? How can he be her savior when he wears the face of her deepest fear?
Blood owes the pretty nurse a debt—one he’s determined to repay, even if it clashes with his duty to his club. He made her a promise. But time is running out. To keep that promise and repay the debt he owes, he may have to sacrifice it all—everything that ever meant a damn to him.
Fighting treachery, betrayal, and dirty deals, there are a hundred ways it could all go wrong, but Blood is determined to have Cat for his own. She’s fast becoming his weakness. As the smoldering passion between them flares to life, burning hot and intense, no one is going to stop him. He wants it all, and he’ll settle for nothing less.
This is an emotional story filled with twists and turns, tragedy and humor that only the Evil Dead MC can deliver. Hang on for a ride you won’t forget.

Paying a debt/making promises to the one person that saved your life can make you second guess your club, your brothers! The motto is the club before everything else but when the heart is involved you forget and realize the club may be there for you in terms of brotherhood but when your heart is missing there’s no living. I love this book, it’s about making sacrifices for the love of your life and realizing you want it all not just half but ALL, you are good author Nicole James, you are good.
We all waited a while for Blood’s release, and the end result was so worth it.
In books prior, Blood was that brooding, dark, mysterious, bossy alpha who absolutely deserved his own story. Let me just say—Nicole James outdid herself.
This is the first full journey we’ve taken inside the Evil Dead MC’s New Orleans clubhouse. I loved the descriptions of the sights, the sounds, and the smells of everything the city had to offer—as if we were placed smack in the middle of it all—the good and the bad.
With the presence of a rival MC in town, along with the scum who pimp out plenty of the area’s prostitution, Blood finds himself in a world of trouble and pain.
Cat is a nurse who can’t stand bikers; they’ve caused her sister and herself nothing but grief.
So … Cat … meet Blood. Blood, this is Cat, the nurse who’s unwillingly here to save your life but would rather kill you. Ah, a match made in heaven!
Blood is a good guy in a biker kinda way. He makes no excuses for who he is or what he’s done. He’ll take what he wants, whenever he wants—whether it be someone’s life unwillingly, or some chick’s willing body. He lives his life for his club—his family. Blood’s loyalty to Undertaker, his prez, and to his brothers is unfaltering. Oh, uh also, I should mention that Blood is extremely dominant and controlling in bed too. Gah, the man is beyond sexy.
Blood and Cat owe each other a lot. The biggest issue is trust. there’s a lot at stake for each of them when Cat’s sister, Holly, is taken from her while she’s saving Blood’s life. I was actually a bit worried how Blood’s priority to his club or Cat was going to play out. He wants to save Holly, but at what cost? I’m one of those ‘nothing comes before the MC’ type of readers. Once again, Nicole shows how the ties to the brotherhood are so strong as she sends in Sandman, Mooch, Easy, Bam-Bam, even Shades and Ghost (yep, they came for some major support!) and most of all, Undertaker, to make the decision for him. When you’re a member of the Evil Dead MC, a lost brother never goes it alone and is always pointed in the right direction. They banter back and forth between themselves, which is always hysterical, yet they have no problem calling one of their own out when they screw up. Nicole James did an outstanding job with Blood’s story. It was everything I’d hoped it would be and more. A captivating storyline, great main characters, plenty attention to detail, along with a swoon worthy club house filled with the best MC in the world made this, hands down, a ten-star read for me.
Blood had a lot of demons. The type of father he had, not trust in women, thinking his mother left him. Cat’s experience with bikers not the best pertaining to her older sister. Her younger sister is kidnapped and with her and Blood working together to try and find her.
