The Daredevil by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Michelle is a travel blogger who writes from her heart. When she is approached by a beauty company based in Iceland to help promote their natural based beauty products to consumers, she decides to jump on the chance to return to the country that spoke to her soul years prior. Before she can get settled into her surroundings, fate seems to step in and make her life difficult by bringing in accidents and old nemeses, However, it also provides her with someone to help her. And that someone happens to be Royce. She kind of knows him through mutual friends but quickly discovers that she really wants to KNOW him and what makes him tick. Can she separate business from pleasure? Or will she be lost to his overwhelming Viking charisma?

Royce has seen Michelle and interacted with her on the peripheral for years. She is the best friend of his best friend’s sister. He’s always been intrigued by her, but their lives never seemed to line up to really get to know each other. The fates align when she takes a job in Iceland, his home country, and needs help on day one. As he spends more time with her, he finds that he is fascinated by her and wants to know her on every level. As someone who doesn’t believe in love, he finds himself questioning his own line of thinking. Can Michelle change his mind on love? When her livelihood and life are threatened, can he keep her safe and not get entangled?

The second book in this series was not a disappointment. Both Michelle and Royce have their own demons that they are fighting daily. When they open up to each other, they finally find healing. I enjoyed how they knew each other and when they looked back over their lives, there were instances that drew them together without them really knowing it or seeing it until they thought about it. If fates truly aligned, this is a perfect example of it.

The continuation of the overarching mystery gathers more depth and encompasses so much more than just the crime that the guys witnessed. It seems to be growing larger than just their city, too. It will be interesting to see where the author goes with it! Looking forward to the next book!
