Review:

If you’re already a Jakes fan then you’re going to love this one. It’s just more of everything that Jakes delivers.

If you’re new to S.E. Jakes, climb on the bitch seat ‘cus this one’s gonna own you.

I didn’t know. I mean I just expected a straightforward MC story. I should’ve known it’d be so much more. SE Jakes has been taking her writing to the next level for a while now and her latest work is involved, complex and thrilling. Add in the broken, bent, hurting and sexy-as-all-hell ...more

Review by The Blogger Girls.

This is a very strong start to an exciting new series. Right off the bat, it is refreshing to read a new storyline that hasn’t been done a hundred times already, and I really like the world Ms. Jakes created here.

It is a cross between Gone in 60 Seconds, with the stealing of high end automobiles. Then it turns into The Fast and the Furious, with the stealing and racing of high end automobiles. Where it differs completely is the Motorcycle Clubs being front and center

This is a very strong start to an exciting new series. Right off the bat, it is refreshing to read a new storyline that hasn’t been done a hundred times already, and I really like the world Ms. Jakes created here.

It is a cross between Gone in 60 Seconds, with the stealing of high end automobiles. Then it turns into The Fast and the Furious, with the stealing and racing of high end automobiles. Where it differs completely is the Motorcycle Clubs being front and center in the mix. They play a huge role here, as different clubs are vying for the clients and territory. And then there are the relationships.

Sean is the thief, he is struggling with issues from combat, as well as his compunction to steal, all of which he thought he had under control. Needing to help a friend throws him right back into the game, however, and right smack dab into a whole new set of problems.

Ryker is a biker. LOL. He is one of the members of Havoc, a very secretive and protective club. He has also been sneaking in and having hot sweaty sex with Sean, but his appearances are a whole different level of mysterious, as are his intentions.

Nothing is as it seems with these guys. They all seem to be keeping secrets from each other, but one thing is for certain – Ryker considers Sean his. A lot of the time, I was just as confused as Sean about what was going on, but it was a heck of a ride.

There is a lot to love in this story. There are some interesting side characters I can’t wait to learn more about. The quality of writing and the end product is exactly what I’ve come to expect from Ms. Jakes. Why not the final star then? This just didn’t have that awesome wow factor for me that I felt when reading Hell or High Water or even Dirty Deeds, though it had more then Men of Honor. Ms. Jakes remains at the top of my drop everything to read now list, and I will definitely be doing the same when Running Blind is available.

If you’re looking for something exciting with a different storyline and hot alpha characters, definitely take this one out for a joy ride.
