Synopsis
Fast. That’s how I like life, especially my two great joys: bikes and women. I’m committed to exclusively riding one, but not the other.Until April.
A sexy-arse freelance photographer who’s travelled the world, and doesn’t do long walks on the beach or romantic candlelit dinners. She enjoys running with the bulls and food spicy enough to make your hair fall out. If that weren’t enough to get me hard, she rides a mean mother of a motorcycle.
I’ve gotta have a taste of this wildcat.
~Spencer (Jones)
I don’t do fast. Not anymore. I’ve got my career, my independence, and since I fled Spain to come back home I promised myself that I wouldn’t be put second—or third, for that matter—again.Then I meet pretty boy Spencer.
He’s smooth, oozing the most potent pheromones probably known to modern science, and he’s making a move on me. One kiss was almost enough for my promise to dissolve.
My head says no—my treacherous body screams yes. I’m gonna make Spencer work for it. Make him fight for the chance to have me, because I know that deep down I’m worth it.
~April MacIntyre
Excerpt:
Eighteen months after Spike
SPENCER (JONES)
My head pounds, alerting me to the fact that I’m alive. Barely. I run my hand over my
bare chest to find a set of fingers clad with rings. The hand tightens, sharp nails scratching
my skin as they sweep over my ribs. I shudder with the realisation that she’s still here. That
was not part of the plan.
Her hand continues over to my hipbone, and curls around my side. I turn to see her
face buried in the pillow beside me, a cascade of fiery red curls tangled down her back, a
strong contrast to her pale skin.
I strain to lift my head off the pillow, and there he is. Ryan. On the far edge of my
king-sized bed, face down, bare arse and all.
I’m here again. My life on repeat.
My liver screams out its hate for me, and my body aches in silent protest. And why
the fuck is my arse sore?
I wriggle to release myself from her hold.
I don’t like them to stay, but Ryan and I were obviously too fucked-up to care. I
must’ve passed out, because normally I deal with their exit.
I don’t do mornings. I don’t do awkward. I like simple hook-ups, and then “see ya”;
No expectations, no complications.
This here looks complicated.
Walking naked across my bedroom, the floor littered with condom wrappers and
clothes, I pick up a rogue black leather shoe and throw it at Ryan’s arse.
He chokes on his snore, and stirs. “Hey, what the fuck, man?” He rolls over,
thankfully tugging the tangled sheets with him to shield his dick. I don’t need a vision of his
giant cock in the back of my head today.
“What’s up is that you and Princess Redhead need to leave, buddy. I gotta get to
work,” I whisper loudly. Working for Dad today is totally gonna blow.
Ryan swings his legs off the bed, and stretches his arms over his head. “Well, you
never fail to disappoint, man. Guess I’ll catch ya next time I’m in town.”
I take a white crumpled towel that I must have left on the floor yesterday and wrap it
around my hips. “That depends, mate. If you’re the reason my arse is sore, then this was the
last time. Oh, and you might just get the shit kicked out of you.”
He chuckles quietly to himself. “You don’t remember?” He grabs his jeans from the
floor in front of him, and slips them on.
“Remember what?” Oh no. Ryan did not go there. I’ll kill him. On instinct, my teeth
grind against each other, and I breathe out heavily through my nose as I stalk towards him.
He holds up a hand. “Relax,” he says, as he juts his chin towards the redhead. “Miss
Ginger Sex Fiend over there brought toys.”
“Fuck,” I gasp. I’ve seriously gotta lay off the drink.
“Now, get outta here. I’ll take care of Ginger.” Ryan winks, and runs his hands
through his mussed up sandy-coloured hair.
Yeah. I need to get to work.
Review:
I love this series. I love this author. I can not CAN NOT get enough of these books and characters. I think this might be my favorite book of the series. From the first page I was hooked. I loved Spencer. That tough bad boy that is hard to catch. April is his perfect counter. I love Ryder's writing style. She really brings her characters to life.
Honestly, I want to gush and tell you every detail of this amazing read. I won't do that though, but I will tell you to read this book. Read this series. While these are different characters for leads, I recommend reading this series in order. Not only are the first two books great, you get some background into this series. So read this book and this series. It's great.
