Brutal Fighter by Heather Long

5.0

Brutal Fighter is the 5th book in the 82nd Street Vandals series and absolutely must be read in order. Another amazing book in this series!!! I freaking am obsessed with the Vandals and Emersyn! This baby is intense and steamy, and it's freaking HAWTTTT!!! Mayhem and Chaos!!!

The book ends on another cliffhanger, which isn't a surprise since Heather warned us it would happen. I can't wait for the next book in the series Dangerous Renegade to be released.

Emersyn is back with the Vandals after the trauma that happened in book 4. If you thought the guys were protective in the earlier books, they intensify in this baby. No one is getting to her. Emersyn steps up to the plate and is embracing becoming a member of their gang. She's taking back some of what's been stolen from her and saves their asses a few times. She's becoming a Vandal because she knows she belongs there. Emerson and Freddie are dealing with the trauma they experienced at Pinetree. The guys are all trying to find their footing with Em again. They want to give her space but also want to protect and comfort her. We also have a lot more Lainey time. Things are starting to unravel. Someone seems to have it out for the Vandals and there is still the issue with the trucks being jacked.
