OMG!!! This is my first book by this author and won’t be the last. This is an amazing MC story and wow it will pull hard at your heart for Harper. Zane and Harper grew up together and had a bond that even though they were at different MCs was always there. Harper’s life is one ball of messed up but don’t get me wrong she is strong, so so strong. Zane and her are thrown back together and this time he isn’t letting her go. There is a HUGE threat that needs to be taking care of and I can’t freaking wait until he gets his. I hope it is slow and painful. The ending well I just can’t… I will tell you this.. it is a huge Cliffhanger and there are parts in this story that might have a trigger for some.
Shattered by Heather Dahlgren is the first book in the Shattered Souls MC series. Zane and Harper have a sexy and forbidden second chance lovestory. The story is interesting… full of suspense, danger, and steam. The characters pull you in and deliver action and heat. Oh and that cliffhanger ending!
Wow this book blew me away and the storyline wrecked me. Harper and the life she had lived was simply horrifying and at the hands of her own father. Zane will do anything to help her and keep her safe. The feelings they have had since childhood has just grown and I loved their chemistry and how they faced challenges head on. Can’t wait for more of this series, what a great start!!!
Zane and Harper are supposed to be enemies and are definitely not supposed to be together. From opposite clubs the two are a bit like Romeo and Juliet. Now that Harper is back in Zane’s life, his club is determined to make things harder for him in regards as to where Harper stands. Harper’s father is determined that she is just there for him to use, but she also knows that if he gets wind of Harper being around Zane and his club, they both would pay the price. Will the two have to make the ultimate sacrifice for their love?
I have read this author before and LOVED her previous stuff, and was so excited for her to bring out an MC story. For me this ended up being an ok read. With loads of naughty bits, some super hot and others seriously not, violence, abuse, distrust, danger… all things that create a good read. This was just one of those stories that took forever to pull me in and I struggled to finish only to get to the end to find out… nothing. I give this 3.5 stars.
I have to admit that the opening pages of this book were tough for me. Somehow the bold and aggressive speech and actions of the characters caught me off guard. I am not usually one whose go-to romance genre is Motorcycle Club based. However, I soon got over my shock an got into the intense and chaotic world of the Shattered Souls MC.
This book is filled with strong colorful characters. Each one whose story I am eager to read. Heather Dahlgren does a wonderful job of giving enough background information for all characters while keeping the reader focused on the story unfolding between the main characters.
The action is fast and fierce. The drama and violence is disrupted by moments of passion and love that leave you breathless. I felt totally in the midst of a war between to of Las Vegas’ prominent rival MC clubs. I chose sides and made it my mission to make sure those who needed be taken care of got their just desserts.
Heather Dahlgren has created a world that totally pulled me in. I will be looking for the next books in this series. These characters are worth the time and emotional investment.
Note: I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
To be honest, I’ve always loved an MC romance – I mean look at their muscled, tatooed backs. A girl could surely love a sight like that.
And the softness the hero from the MC gang gets after meeting the love of his life – it’s such an epic vision to see.
And for this story to have rival clubs and forbidden attraction – totally a romeo and juliet like feel with this one – thank god no one died in this one.
But oh my god, the plot, the writing, the hot hot chemistry, the banter, the forbidden attraction, the mc clubs, the characters themselves – they have become my all-time favorites and I will shout it from the rooftops if I have to.
Cause it was this good.
Anyway.
Until the next read,

This was my first read from this author and I was looking forward to finding a new MC author/series to follow and Heather did not disappoint me. The only criticism is that I thought this would be a standalone in a series but it ends up in a pretty big cliffhanger so thank you KU.
My attention was held from start to finish even though I was not sure on the some of the Characters. i got a bit frustrated with Harper a few times as she was a club Princess (in name, not treated as such) she grew up in the life, particularly the dirty shade of it, but yet kept freaking out over Zane wanting to defend her and with the clubs war. For someone who was supposed to be kicka*s she needed a lot of hand holding and kept putting them in further trouble with her actions.
That being said this was full of action as the war between the two rival clubs starts kicking off so you won’t want to put it down until the book has finished and then you will be screaming for the next one.
This was a good read! A true Romeo & Juliet love story, MC style! My heart broke for the things Harper endured in her life under her dads thumb, and love that Zane was so overprotective & possessive of her. The feud between the two MC’s keeps everyone looking over their shoulder and had you guessing what would happen next. I can’t wait to read the next book to see what happens.
Wow, this was intense!
This was my first book by this author and I’m craving more!
Harper and Zane have loved each other for years and their love blossomed despite all the hate swirling around them.
There was so much pain, betrayal and hurt, but also love, loyalty and protection, and everything, all the emotions, good or bad, were deep and all consuming.
There were times, not a few of them, that I thought Zane and Harper were imature, but it turns out making sense considering their age and personality. They were both hot headed, reckless and impulsive but the good thing was that Kace was always there to calm things.
BTW, I can’t wait to know more about him. He was so loyal to both of them, he managed to center Zane and there seemed to be so much love filling his guarded heart.
Another plus: this book was hot. Like crazy, scorching hot. And deeply addictive.
I think I should warn that it ends in a cliffhanger. But as I said in some of my previous reviews, I must be a glutton for punishment because I LOVE cliffhangers.
Shattered by Heather Dahlgren is book 1 in the Shattered Souls MC series. It’s the danger-filled story of Zane (Z) and Harper. This is a bit of a Romeo and Juliet story in current times. She’s the daughter of a horrible, blood-thirsty man, who is the Prez of the King MC. Zane is a member of a rival MC…but, these two have been in love for years and she left the life…and him behind. Now, she’s back! There’s murder, deceit, betrayal, love, and everything else you can imagine in this story!!!
These characters are so torn between their families and their love….it is truly heartbreaking! Wonderful story! Has a major cliffhanger!!
I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Shattered by Heather Dahlgren
Shattered is the first book in Shattered Souls MC series. Zane and Harper’s story has pulled me in from the started. I love all the drama from the past that carries us to the present. I also love that Zane and Harper would do anything to protect each other. I hate and love the cliffhanger at the end of the book.
Heather Dahlgren is a new author to me. I though she did a incredible job with the characters in Shattered. I also though she did wonderful job with the storyline. It had everything you could wanted in MC. Shattered has drama, tragic, passion, love, and steamy scenes.
Wow, this book is packed full of all kinds of goodness. It will have you feeling so many emotions, anger, frustration, love, smoking chemistry to name a few. Once you start you won’t be able to put it down. I cann’t wait to start the next one!
This book was well worth the read with a great plot and characters that were strongly developed that as the journey unfolded between Zane and Harley, I couldn’t put this book down until I finished reading the very last page!
They grew up together, played together, and then loved together. They were from different clubs and had to make choices. They couldn’t be together. Years later, a second chance come along but it isn’t easy. Their lives and love will be tested. The ultimate sacrifice may be demanded.
I thought ths was a good book and was able to read it from the very beginning to the very end.
I thought the story line was very good and enjoyed it very much in my opinion.
The characters made the story so good and true in my opinion.
I got this book for free with an honest review freely given.
Exhilarating! Outstanding! This was my first read by Heather Dahlgren, but it was not my last. I immediately moved on to book 2. I had to have more! The writing kept me glued to the pages. I embraced the main characters in this story, Zane and Harper, who grew up in rival MC clubs and had it “bad” for each other. Their story was brimming with romance, sizzling sex, angst, and page-turning thrills.
AMAZING! A fantastic, well written read. An intense storyline that holds your attention as you get caught up in the fierce twists and hot chemistry. Plenty of excitement and emotionally heartfelt. A thrilling must read.
This is my first time reading this author and she has written a wonderful MC book. I really loved the characters and the plot was fast paced with drama, intrigue and secrets.
