I love this series. Why more people haven't discovered this gem is beyond me. Just when you think you've got it figured out, you realize that the only thing you know is that you don't know anything at all. The suspense is killing me! Non-stop action. Plot twists. Hot sex. What's not to love?

Tori returns to her darker, diabolical alter-ego in this installment. If she didn't seem to fall in love so frequently, I'd really think she was a sociopath incapable of feelings for others. While she seems t ...more

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

Exposed picks up right from where Entwined left off. Tori, Michael and Eli are returning to New York and the FBI - we assume. But that is not where the story takes us and very early on the author reveals to us the answer to one of the mysteries of the series. It was unexpected and not a question I was sure would actually be answered so it was a surprise for me.

HOT, INTENSE, EDGY, DELECTABLY UNPREDICTABLE is what I think of book 4 of Samantha Jacobey's latest installment in her New Life series, EXPOSED! Jacobey has mastered the art of story telling with this series. Her characters are so rich and three dimensional that not only do we feel like we know them personally, we also feel like we are riding shotgun with Tori on her journey to find a New Life.

Jacobey has mastered the art of story telling with this series. Her characters are so rich and three dimensional that not only do we feel like we know them personally, we also feel like we are riding shotgun with Tori on her journey to find a New Life.
During the first book, Captive, we fell in love with Tori Farrell, a young young woman who was ripped away from everyone and everything she had ever known or loved to be raised by the Dragons, a bad ass biker club that works for The Organization. The kinds of things this young woman had to do and endure made most readers see Tori as a victim of horrendous abuse. We felt like Tori was damaged beyond repair, scarred for life. Most readers saw Tori as a victim. I have always seen her as a survivor. When Captive ended, we felt like we needed t shirts that said TEAM TORI. We felt hungry to learn more of her story.
Books 2 and 3, BOUND and ENTWINED, did not disappoint. Although we were not so happy with the FBI for the kinds of "help" they dished out for Tori, we were excited to continue our journey with her as she began to repair herself and try to build a life outside of The Dragons. We have a deep respect for her as she is able to handle any situation that arises. We love how Tori can think on her feet. We wish desperately for this young woman to be able to leave the demons and destruction from her past behind her so she can find some peace and happiness. We even cautiously hope she can find love. With the end of each book, we anxiously await the release of the next, feeling like she is continuing her journey without us!
Finally, after what seems like forever, we are able to "get back on the bike" and continue our remarkable ride with Tori. Waiting for all the things we thought were going to happen TO happen...only to find out once again that Tori's life is unpredictable. She is somehow able to continue to use the "talents" the Dragons taught her to get through. Tori never gives up. She is able to be chameleon like and adjust and adapt to any challenge. Is she as "good" as we hope she is? Does she really ache for a new life or does she, in some sick way miss the Dragons and the life she had with them? Will enough ever be enough when it comes to the FBI? Will she find that life we wish for her? We do find things we thought were lost, leave behind things we want to keep with us, and with each page we become more excited to figure out what is going to happen next.
True to Samantha Jacobey's skill at leaving the reader on the edge of their seat and begging for more, she does not disappoint here. I highly recommend this entire series. The story line is genuinely fresh. This is not a romance. This is an "I wonder if shit like this really happens" kind of book.
These books are able to stand alone, as Jacobey does a fine job of filling in the reader about the past without traumatizing us with terrible information dumps. That being said, the story is much richer when the reader starts the journey from the beginning.
EXPOSED along with the other books in the New Life series is definitely for the 18 and older crowd because of adult content. Samantha Jacobey writes out of the box. She dares to go there. She writes about the uncomfortable and traumatic, she writes sexual content both violent and tender and she does not pussy foot around it.
Now to find something to do until book 5 comes out! ...more

I stumbled onto this series and was surprised to find myself hooked right away. I don't usually read romances that are as gritty or sexually explicit as this one, although for some readers, those may well be the very elements that draw them in. However, for me, the hook was the main character, Tori, her situation, and her gritty determination.

However, for me, the hook was the main character, Tori, her situation, and her gritty determination.

Samantha Jacobey has managed to convey Tori's life in such a way(making very good use of those "gritty" elements mentioned above) that the reader can well imagine what it might be like to be in that place. It's harrowing, frightening, unthinkable; yet the reader will want to see it through, will want to know that Tori survives, on her own terms. That's what makes this series so interesting.

After reading book 3 of this series I was rather surprised to find myself commenting that, “There was less action this time around, and I admit I'm hoping book four ramps things up a bit.” It seems Ms. Jacobey was listening, as book 4, EXPOSED, moves Tori back into her old renegade world, whether she likes it or not. Hence, there’s plenty of action, danger and intrigue for her to deal with, as well as a new-found family tie.

She also has to do some soul searching about 'what and who' she really is and what she really wants, while also coming to terms with abilities and desires that she is, intellectually, not completely at ease with. She’s learning something we all have to learn-- to embrace our darker side and accept that’s also an integral 'part' of who we are but doesn't completely define us. These elements make the book grittier than the last one, which will please most fans of this series, I think.

Of course, the book ends on a cliffhanger. Once again, we are given a glimpse of just how deep the rabbit hole may go as we witness the forces that surround Tori as they discuss their nefarious plans. There’s still a lot of mysteries to be solved, and a long road for Tori to travel before she has true freedom from her past so she can build a new and better future with the man she loves.

Keep writing, Samantha Jacobey ... I want to know what happens next!

Oh dear, I really think this book has gone tits up. It's gone all Mills and Boonie. Tori is putting herself back into the abused category, this time by choice. The guys are fucking her every which way and yet the dirtiest thing the author has used to describe her pussy is 'warm folds'. They are fucking her up the arse yet the author chooses to describe it as favourite position or preferred position or something like that. (hence the no quotes marks cos I can't remember 100% how it was phrased)

The beautiful thing about Samantha Jacobey's New Life Series is that it's COMPLETELY unpredictable.

This story has elements of sexual and physical abuse, and while handled gracefully, may be a "trigger" for some readers.

Tori Farrell Anderson cannot seem to "live happily ever after". Feeling that their lives were about to be turned upside down once again, Tori and Michael planned on leaving their haven in the middle of nowhere and fall off the grid one more time. Unfortunately, their time was off and the FBI came calling. N ...more

This series may send me to a rubber room, or maybe needing bi-polar meds.

My hero, bada$$ Tori, has now been ripped away from her 'back at the farm' peaceful life and is jumping back into the danger zone, willingly.

"I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads."

This is the fourth in the series, and you really need to read them in order to understand the extremely intricate plot lines.

This was a really difficult book to read after the last one, as Tori has to behave so differently. The author is weaving, maybe even double weaving, the story lines, so that one is kept on edge all the time. It is brilliant, but exhausting, and nerve wracking at the same time.

I finished this book in one afternoon. This book is not a standalone and you must read the first 3 books before trying to read this review or book!

Exposed picks up right where Entwined left off. Tori, Michael and FBI Detective or to her as just Eli are headed back to New York. They find quickly find out why. Michael's former employers have gotten their house broken into. Now, their headed back to the Indelible's group house to see if Michael can help them figure out who is behind it.

When they get in the house to look around Tori instantly realizes it's not Indelible they're after. It's her. And, the who is the Scorpions. The Scorpions are another gang connected to the Dragons and the Organization. Tori also sees a room that the head guitarist Brian has set up. It's of his family that died years ago. Except Tori's life starts to flash in front of her. Brian is her older brother.

Tori heads out of the house leaving Michael and Brian. She's going after the Scorpions. The FBI are as happy as a pig in shit. Tori has always had a job to do and with no family they could play games with her. It's why she's being told she's 15. They're loving every minute of it.

Michael takes the guys back to his and Tori home in Texas. He must keep them laying low while his love goes off to who knows where to do who knows what. Michael just prays Tori will comeback to him. So, he keeps himself busy while she's gone. Michael plans on making them a forever home for Tori and himself.

Tori needs to find the Scorpions. She calls the one person who can get her there. Enrique. Tori loves Michael and knows in her heart she belongs with him. But, she knows the Scorpions are going to expect certain things from her. She keeps telling herself she's got a part to play. Enrique and Tori get to the Scorpions really quick.

Brett is leader of the Scorpions and has waited a long time to get a hold of Tori. Years ago he tried buying her from Eddie. That didn't end well. Now, that she showed up on his doorstep he wasn't going to turn her away. Tori must earn her way into the group anyway she can. Tori has trusted Enrigue on her plan for the Scorpions. She just praying and hoping he loves her enough to keep his mouth shut.

Tori and Brett become close very fast. Which is a plus for Tori. Brett knows exactly what Tori was capable of. He know what Eddie and the Dragons trained and used her for. Now, Tori has slipped back into the role she was used to playing. But, was the role she was playing was she really playing it? Tori was even questioning herself. Tori loves Michael. She's got his name tattooed on her. Yet, this role she's playing is making her question herself. Why is she doing the things she's doing. Or better yet. Why is she enjoying it. Are Brett and Enrique giving her something that Michael can't or won't give her. How long is the FBI going to be using her as a pawn in their sick twisted game. Brett has given her the info of her family and how she ended up in the Dragons. What does that mean for her and Brian. The last time they saw each other they couldn't stand each other.

Tori has a job to do and she must figure out how to get it done. This book was a quick read. The story itself is twisted and crazy. Just when I had everything figured out. Yea right!! The FBI would pop up and drop the 80th bomb. This is the 4th book in the series and the 4th time I'm going to say this. The writing is KILLING me!!! There's hardly any dialogue. At all!! And... If I hear man bulge, warm folds or salty ooze I'm going to scream!! If I didn't want to know what happens to Tori and Michael or with Tori and Brian I wouldn't finish the series. But, the story is good so I will go read the rest of the series. But, there's too many unanswered questions that I want to know.
