I have so much love for this story, I don't know where to start! So this is the second installment in the Stained Souls MC series following Consumed By Rage. It is a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the first book because you will appreciate the story so much more. A New Paige is the story of Paige, new girl in town who was rescued by the club from an absolute nightmare, and Kai, the club's resident manwhore who is tasked by Rage to look out for Paige. But Paige is far from the innocent helpless girl everyone thinks she is, and she's ready to do her own thing and be her own person. Enter a new Paige (pun intended) who goes after what she wants...and she (eventually) wants Kai.
There are a lot of moving parts to this story. It is not your typical MC drama following by insta-love between the alpha biker and damsel in distress. Nope...this is so much more than that! There's action, there's mystery, there's betrayal, and then there's the ultimate slow burn between Kai and Paige. And there's a major plot twist that had me burning with anticipation through almost the entire story. The author is able to tell so many different stories without them getting lost in each other, and not a single subplot is left unfinished or muddled by the main plot. And can you believe this is only her 2nd book? I'm in total love with the world that the author is building and cannot wait to see what she throws at us next.

izziede's review against another edition
Hero with lots of women after he meets the heroine.
Heroine isn't of course.
Hero says he isn't intimate with anyone else after he kisses the heroine, although he stops it.

I received an ARC copy of A New Paige in exchange for an honest review from the author. It does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
OH MY GOSH, HOW DO I EVEN BEGIN?!
This was probably one of my most anticipated 2020 releases - Consumed by Rage was one of my top reads of 2019. I loved how unique and different it was from all the other MC books I've read. It's left a lasting impression on me as a reader. You could say I was also nervous about how this sequel would hold up to Juliet and Rage's AMAZING story. And, it's safe to say finally that it was EPIC !
Honestly I don't even know how to compose my thoughts into words when it comes to Kai and Paige's story. I can see the potential for Paige being a character that not everyone loves - but honestly, after everything that has happened to her, I adored her for that. She had gone through a lot just growing up - she didn't have a normal childhood, but was raised by a family that truly loved her. But she was really struggling with her identity and I think that's something a lot of people can connect with.
And then, you get to Kai.... Dear god. I was so ready for his book and MAN he is such a SWEETHEART despite his manwhore-ish ways! It's weird to even say that, but I'm serious! Since really getting to see his character development, I really had a lot of questions.
This book had me asking SO many questions wondering who was going to be the one to betray someone. I was literally questioning pretty much every character at one point during the book. I'm very curious about our rival club, Cajun Kings MC as well as the mafia involvement - I'm always interested in learning more about rivals. I look forward to soo many future characters, especially Hack - I feel like his story is one I'm most excited for!
What's interesting when I compare the 2 books in the Stained Souls MC series I realize just how DIFFERENT they truly are! Book 1, Consumed by Rage although has some emotional moments for sure, I truly believe A New Paige has a lot more darker themes (which I'm all here for and I think that's what really kept me turning the pages). Paige was so determined to learn everything about her past and wasn't going to let ANYONE come in between her and finding answers.
I don't know what else to say without rambling and literally spoiling everything, so I think I need to wrap it up. Honestly guys, this is such a UNIQUE and character driven series, you've really got to check it out! I look forward to all of Zara's future books!!

"I ain't never thought I would care about a chick, but man, when lightning strikes, you got no choice but be with her. Love her. Protect her with your life. Because living without her, there is nothing in the world that seems more cruel."
