Publisher's summary

Nyla -- Held captive by a monster, I’ve been forced to service my owner’s colleagues while I spied for him. Being really good at my job got me some perks, and Milo treated me better than some -- until the day he caught me in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then my nightmares really began. First chance I get, I run. Straight into the big biker they call Eagle. I don’t want to, but I’m falling hard. He swears he’ll protect me with his life, and that’s just what I’m afraid of. No one runs from Milo… and lives.

Eagle -- I have issues. The kind that make me a good person to avoid. Even the club whores stay away from me. My brothers keep a close eye on me, and they shield innocent people from me as much as they can -- until a slip of a woman comes crashing into my life. Beaten and broken, scared out of her mind, she calls to me, soothes the savage beast. She makes me want to believe in love. But when Milo comes after Nyla and threatens my club, I know I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. And I’ll claim her, even if she can never accept my darker side.

WARNING: Graphic violence, adult situations, and references to human trafficking and domestic abuse that may be triggers for some listeners. Features a protective hero and a determined heroine. Eventual happy ending and NO cheating, as always.

Another fun one!

As usual, there are familiar ‘faces’ along with some new ones and this kicks off amidst some danger and trafficking … love it. It wasn’t particularly different from the others in this world, but it was a fun listen.

💚 Motorcycle club life.
🏍 Band-of-brothers vibes.
💚 Trafficking.
🏍 SA / attempted SA.
💚 Vi0lence against wom3n.
🏍 Danger.
💚 Instalove.
🏍 J/P hero.
💚 Vengeance.

I especially liked to Eagle sorta tested her to make sure she had some self respect for herself before he’d touch her.

4 stars.

Eagle and Nyla

Nyla escaped from an abusive situation, where she was just property to be sold or rented out as her owner wished. She knew it was best to keep him happy. She runs into Eagle’s arms, and he brings her back to the Tzars. In the Tzar’s, Eagle is one of the roughest, and least “loveable” guys. Even though Nyla has not accepted it yet, Eagle knows she is his, to keep. The abusive scum plots and attacks the Tsars, trying to get Nyla to run. Needless to say, it fails, and the Tzars take revenge for the attack. The bad people die in ways that fit their crimes. The story is fast paced. There is violence hinted at or clearly stated in all of Marteeka’s books I have read. This one was a bit more clear. I could envision the happenings in the barn. Overall, it was a good story and well written. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Eagle

It is a great addition to the series Iron Tzars. I love listening to Umi Markkanen voice. She is amazing.

Good addition

This one was an interesting addition I liked Nyla's back story but I do wish we had a little bit more of it and I wish this one was a bit longer because a lot is going on though I do enjoy these quick insta love stories and narration as usual is done well.

Healing the Soul

It's a dark, yet great addition to the series. There's a close, personal loss of one of the littlest ones, so take heed if you prefer to avoid that.

Nyla Pippin certainly makes an entrance. She comes with a horrible story, and I love how Owen "Eagle" Asher and the rest of the Iron Tzars MC step in to offer her a safe haven.

When things get really hard and awful, I love how each woman rallies in similar ways, even the club girls are at the ready. Nyla stepping up to Eagle and any others who question her intentions or get in her way is comical to observe. The best is when she gets up close and personally smacks Alexi Petrov. It is kinda perfect. 👌 😆

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen who continues to do a great job with these characters.

A great addition to this series. At just 3.5 hrs, it is a quicker listen. But alot happens here. Eagle. Big. Bad. Rough. Haunted with nightmares from his past. Meets Nyla, a woman escaping her captors from being a sex slave. Wow.Two lost, but strong souls. See how they find their way. Exciting read/listen.

The narrator, Umi Markkanen, is one of my favorite narrators. Her male voices are just as good as her female voices. She puts so much emotion into her performance. I really feel her passion, her lust, her anxiety. She makes this book and her others come alive. I'd give her more than 5 stars if I could.

Keen Eyed

Eagle was on shakey ground due to his time on the service bit Nyla showed up and his ghosts seem to settle just by her presence. Nyla was used and abuse from a teenage on and now as an adult it wasn't better til she met Eagle..her fierce protector. Together they knew nothing could come between or against that they cannot withstand...with Iron Tzars at their back.
