About the author

Kimber Lee

26 books510 followers
Kimber Lee comes from South Africa and commutes to class on an
elephant named Bill (not really). She started writing horror stories
as a child and now, she writes erotica as an adult. Her favorite kind
of hero is exotic and probably has a heavy accent. He’s weak when it
comes to the heroine and a total badass outside the bedroom.
If Kimber Lee could find a surgical way to be permanently joined to
her laptop, she would. But until then, she’ll continue to be a night
owl and write until dawn. When forced into daylight, she enjoys
reading scary stories, Indian food and EDM. She dreams of going to
Greece or Sweden because… accents. Oh, and the scenery.

besides the fact that this book is clearly an erotica, and its cover just says "this is clearly an erotica", and its title just says "this is clearly an erotica", THIS BOOK MADE ME CRY. Yes, it did. I full on sobbed because the description of the climax chapters were so... raw and scary and the setting was horrifying. And that rarely happens. This is my favorite one out of all the books this author had written. It really moved me, and I didn't feel like I was actually reading an erotica because the book was so much more than that. The latest events in this book made me shiver from fear and c r y from happiness, and yes I did it again and I shed a tear and a half from happiness. AND I ACTUALLY LIKED THE FEMALE PROTAGONIST. A LOT. I'm not going to spoil anything, because if you're reading this, you should get your butt on wattpad and read this. This. was. so. fucking. good. I would read this again tbh.

4 / 5 stars

read HERE for free!

during high school I was a wattpad freak, I devoured a ridiculous amount of books (many not worth a mention), and every now and then I would find a truly amazing author.

this author is one of them, and four years later, I occasionally go back and get my fix of my tried and true favourites. I vaguely remember having read this before, but I adored it the second time round. I have a true soft spot for authors who do the whole thing themselves—all the hours spent writing and editing while working their full time jobs, allowing people to read their hard work for free.

not all hero’s wear capes, my friends.

highly recommend if you want some really good MC romance and just good romance in general.

So the title might be a little awkward, but this erotica has more than just smut. I loved Jake and Maya's relationship so much! The ending was adorable and a perfect end to a suspenseful novel.

I really hate the title because it probably deters people from reading this masterpiece of a book. I read this on Wattpad years ago, and since then I've come back at least 5 times, if not more. Don't be fooled by the title, this is no run of the mill erotica, in fact the erotica is one of the least interesting things about it. Kim has managed to write a compelling story with a page-turning plot that you just can't put down. I was so impressed with this book that I went and read all her works, which were equally as amazing. I hope to see this book published one day so I can have it in my personal library.

⚠️my first Wattpad story⚠️

This book was pretty good! It gave me Den Of Vipers vibes without the reverse harem.

It was a bad-boy-goes-good-for-one-girl trope and it worked pretty well. This contained smutt, violence, drugs, and mental health issues which were tackled pretty well by the author.
I will say my only real obstacle with this story was how long it was. I definitely think it could have been shortened up by maybe 25% and would have kept attention a little better.

Overall, character development, especially by Jake, was good to see in totality by the last chapter.

Maya ha perdido a sus padres, a su Tía y ahora ha perdido también a su prima por culpa de un club de motoristas. Ella es enfermera y siempre ha cuidado de sus mayores así que, por la simple razón de que quiere a sus mayores es por la que se presenta en la carcel a entregarle una carta a Jake Ford, uno de los culpables de la muerte de su prima, o eso se ha dicho ella siempre.
Jake ha vivido siempre con una ira inmensa atrapada en el. Cuando recibe la carta de su madre en la que le pide cuidar de Maya, sabe que no dudará un minuto en hacerlo. Solo que cuidar de Maya, no implicaba enamorarse...

Ha sido un libro duro y complicado. En general me ha gustado muchísimo, de hecho mi nota sería un 4,5, pero... tengo dos cosas negativas que decir:

1. El cambio radical de actitud de Maya en el hospital. La autora debió querer cortar el tema rapidito porque no se tomó el tiempo no de hacernos entender el por qué del cambio. No hubo una revelación inspiradora o algo por el estilo. Simplemente un minuto estaba diciendo que odiaba a Jake y que todo era culpa suya y al siguiente estaba diciendo que lo amaba y nunca lo abandonaría e incluso aceptaría todo lo que odió de él desde el principio 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
2. Maya. Sí, parece que me repito pero no. Si hay algo que me molesta son esas personas que se quieren hacer las ingenuas pero no lo son. Maya Fenton sabía quién era Jake desde el principio. Sabía por lo que había ido a la carcel, sabía lo que hacía con su vida en los Phantoms y sabía que no era jugar al parchis por las tardes. Así que me joroba mucho cuando de repente escucha a Jake hablar sobre lo que hace y se pone a gritarle que está enfermo, que es un monstruo y que necesita ayuda. Excuse meeeeee? No, la que necesita ayuda eres tú. Porque lo sabías, simplemente quisiste ignorarlo porque te era más fácil. Amas a alguien? Lo amas con todo lo que viene, tú tampoco eras perfecta.

En fin, esos son mis dos puntos negativos, por lo demás amo a Jake es perfecto, un oso de peluche y cada vez que esta tipa lo hacía llorar me daban ganas de achucharlo a muerte. Me encantó su hermano Baron y en general todos los chicos del club ❤️ no es ningún secreto que amo los MC así que no es raro tampoco que amase este libro.
Lo recomiendo mucho!

Absolutely love this book. It is now a paid story on wattpad, but it can be read for free on Kite Novels. It is clearly an erotica, but I feel as if it still has a very good plot that brought me to tears. Also GREAT writing style would definitely read books from her again

Okay, despite the cringey title, it was not sexy times the entire time. There was an emotional layer that gets added later on in the book about good vs bad. This book was great for about 3/4 of the book but then the latter part got kinda slow and didn't interest me as much so I'm going to give it 4.5 stars.

I've stopped picking up MC books because I hated that the MC hero would be sleeping with every vagina on sight and there were basically orgys everywhere. I want someone who is loyal and loves the heroine to death. In this case, Jake was that hero and he gives me hope for future MC books to be like that.

I really loved Jake and Maya. Jake has loved Maya for a long time but didn't go after her because she was pure and too good for him. Even when they broke up, I was so scared that he'd sleep with someone else but he never did. I was so touched when he wasn't afraid to admit that only Maya had the capability of hurting him and when she broke up he said that he would die without her. Usually, men like him lash out in anger and then go find someone else before they go back to the heroine but he never strayed and even killed for her.

Maya was also a great heroine. Even though I did get tired of her going back and forth on whether or not she loved Jake and would forgive him, I admired her strength, how she made him laugh, and took no BS from Jake.

Usualmente me abstengo de leer libros cuya portada es un sujeto a medio vestir con un cuerpo impresionante, y cuyo título es algo semejante a un libro erótico. Maldita sea, estoy agradecida conmigo misma de haber comenzado este libro.
Cuando la madre de Jake muere y él se encuentra en prisión, Maya es quien le da la horrible noticia junto con una carta en la que su madre le pide que cuide de ella. Una vez que Jake es puesto en libertad, la sigue a todas partes com si fuese un ángel guardián, dispuesto a defenderla y protegerla ante todo. Pero sus intenciones nunca son tan puras y buenas. ¿Estarías dispuesto a matar por amor?

Mi problema con los libros "eróticos" es que siempre he sentido que le dan más prioridad a las escenas sexuales que a la trama en sí. No pasó nunca con este libro. Verán; Jake The Panty Ripper, es un libro divertido pero también serio acerca de los peligros qué hay en el mundo. Rufianes y gente mala que rondan por el planeta. Maltratos, muertes y mucho dolor.
Me encantó Jake, siempre tan serio pero a la vez juguetón. Me parte el corazón que haya pasado y visto tanto. Pero a la vez, defiende lo que ama y en lo que cree.
Maya es idéntica a Jake en mucho; es terca, seria pero a la vez divertida. Ella no entiende el mundo de Jake ni tampoco la carga que él mismo. Ha puesto sobre sus hombros. Me encantó este libro, muy perfecto como primera lectura del 2018. 💓

I have read this book so many times and it always gets to me. I cry, I scream, I laugh(hysterically) and I giggle, I "awhh", and I get just about every other feeling while reading this book. Honestly if you're looking for a biker/romance book this is it. Its hot as hell yet it still you gives you an amazing romance journey with amazing characters with amazing character growth and development. You just gotta read this book.

That's all I'm saying because at this time I cant put how much this book just catches me every time into words. I can't say how much this book means to me. It is just amazing and I love it with all my heart. I read it at least twice a year because it is one of those books that you just feel everything for it.

READ THE BOOK is the only thing i can say.

I loved "Ripper"! I wish i could find a man just like him. Maya and Jake were the perfect couple. They had their flaws, and what they went through was horrible but Jake never gave up on his "Silver eyes". They were both strong but together with their love, they were stronger. I'm so sad the book is over. I hope to hear more from them in ghost and sin's books. Jake"Ripper",I love you, you gorgeous sexy, alpha of a book boyfriend you! Oh yeah, their are also lots of good sexy times in this book too. This author really knows how to write good sexy scenes.

Even after years from my first time read I think about this book. It has embedded itself within my veins and sleeps within my blood that crosses through my heart and body. DON'T let the COVER FOOL you, this story is just the sweetest it in its own messed up way. Can't look at a motorbike the same anymore.

Absolutely freaking love it. I've read this book sooo many times now, she's amazing!!!!
Although there are some trigger warnings.. Quite violent and very graphic in regards to sex scenes.
It's HOOOOT!!! But then again that's only my opinion, read at your own risk.

This is not just an erotica, this is a romance novel. The world of the bikers really draws you in, and I actually found myself not getting annoyed with maya as I usually do with damsels in distress XD
Read it if you want your life taken over for the next day or two.

It wasn't exactly an easy story to follow, but it's quite interesting.
#SPOILERALERT contained blood and sexual content.

I don't usually reread a novel, but I'll always read Kimber Lee's books. Her ability to breath life into characters is awesome. I love this book.
