DNF @ 50%...because my eyes were tired from rolling.
First of all, don't write a book about American jails and the justice system when you obviously know nothing about American jails and the justice system.
***Calmly explaining...***
When Krypt gets arrested, the characters are talking about him waiting for sentencing within 3 days of his arrest and the shooting.

Ohh, I love this guy!

I know, this book lacked in accuracy (regarding the prison system and all) but I really don't care right now.
I absolutely loved the plot and the characters, these two are perfect for each other!
And maybe most importantly, it made me curious about the next books. So yay Bella Jewel!

He lunges for me, catching hold of my wrist and hurling me so hard against his body he loses his towel.

RATING: 2 Hearts
I started Precarious on a whim, and while I can’t say it was a terrific decision, surprisingly, some aspects of this were in fact fun – most notably the romance, Beau, and the Club. This is my first Bella Jewel book, and I can confidently say, it was an okay read for me.
As I was reading, my mixed feelings for this became quite apparent. Some aspects I enjoyed; 1. Bella’s oddly charming writing, despite the predictability of the plot; 2. Beau (Krypt) – from his gruff, take charge ...more

This was a great story. It had plenty of action to keep me interested and the sex was smokin' hot! While the romance section seems to be flooded with bikers lately, and this book did have some similarities to other books in this sub-genre, the characters and storyline were unique enough to hold my attention.
With so many female protagonists in romance books cast as sweet, timid and passive, it was refreshing to read a story with a strong, opinionated heroine. Ash is no shrinking violet. She is t ...more

The Joker's Wrath MC Series has been on my TBR for a long time and I finally got around to starting it.

I'm a fan. 🤘
This book might not be the best and I admit it wasn't perfect but I was entertained. It was just so sassy!
I loved Ash for her loyalty, her sassy self and no bullshit attitude.
I don't think I have ever read a book where they say "fuckin" so freaking much!
It had an interesting plot and it was great that the female character wasn't one of those "damsel in distress-types". She had backbone!
This will not be the last I read from this author!

Firstly I love a woman who can stand up for herself and Ash has backbone and sass so I liked her character a lot.
I liked Krypt but he wasn't as alpha as I hoped he would be or as swoon worthy, so bit of a let down there, if anything Ash did the claiming in the relationship and made the decisions.
Kypt is in prison were Ash is a guard and when transferring Krypt to a new prison they are ambushed resulting in Ash becoming a hostage of the MC.

Great story about Krypt ( Beau) and Ash which kicks off what I'm sure will be an excellent series. We are introduced to the other Bikers and Ash's friends Claire and Leo plus a few baddies.
There is a lot of heat, intensity, passion and action. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because I found I have a bit of a love/ hate feeling for Ash, the heroine. Be interesting to see how all these characters play out. MELANCHOLY, Santana and Maddox's ...more

Here’s what I like… :)
I like that Ash, the lead female protagonist, is a prison guard, she’s passionate about what she does, she’s fierce and she can take down a man double her size. She is not easily scared, she can stand her ground and she doesn’t play coy. Oh and her sex drive?

I have a sex drive wilder than most men; I love it. I am forever wanting to find different ways to do it, often fantasizing about more than one scenario. – Ash

Overall, it has good plot and interesting characters.
Beau “Krypt” Dawson is the Vice President of the Joker’s Wrath MC while Ash is a prison guard. She come across in the story as some bad ass guard that’s why they called her “Wildcard” however I didnt felt that she was a bad ass.

Writing a 'biker' book isn't easy... it takes balls... like big, huge balls because the world of a motorcycle club (if depicted correctly) is rarely hearts and flowers. In fact far from it. Bikers live a certain way of life. They have their own set of rules. It's usually a world knee deep in criminal activity, where men are the dominant sex and women... well women tend to get used and occasionally abused. Trying to roll all of that into a romance novel is a difficult task, one I would trust with

Woohoo! A new MC series by Bella Jewel! I enjoyed her previous MC series, as well as her Contemporary Adult books, so I it was a no brainer to give this a try. The synopsis was very intriguing, particularly the part where the heroine is a guard/corrections officer. A corrections officer! Yea. That’s definitely a new one. This should be interesting.

I really loved the book overall but there were a few things that kept it from being the 5 star for me that it was so close to being. The big thing was Ash..I don't know I guess after seeing it mentioned what a kick ass heroine she was I was expecting more than cheap sucker punches and kicks to the balls, that does not make her kick ass it makes her an ass. I also didn't care for the end where she pretty much acts like a club whore, I probably would not have felt that way if the scene wasn't at t

“When I fuck, I like to fuck with a raw ferocity most women can’t handle. I don’t make love. I want you up against a wall, my hands tangled in your hair while my cock is driving in and out of you. My hands won’t be gentle; my cock won’t be gentle; and baby,” he growls, “I won’t be fuckin’ gentle.”

“I’ll tell you this once, so listen fuckin’ close. I don’t want no skinny, bony-assed woman. I want a woman with flesh, something for me to appreciate. I want curves that make my jaw tighten, and my dick hard. I want to see beauty that only a woman with curves can accentuate. You, baby, are what a woman should be. So, I’m goin’ to keep my hands on you, I’m goin’ to suck your nipples, I’m goin’ to squeeze your ass, and then I’m goin’ to put my cock deep inside you—purely because you’re the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.”
