Book review: Rebel On The Run (Hot Rods #4) by Jayne Rylon

Available now!
Bryce has been keeping a secret. A really big bomb. The Hot Rods have always assumed he’s kept quiet about his family because his childhood was the worst of all of theirs. Considering they’ve lived through druggie parents, abuse, abandonment, and plenty more nightmares, that’s saying something.

Respecting his request for privacy, none of them have ever pried past the guarded shadows in his eyes. After all, nearly all of them know what it’s like to live with ghosts of terrible histories. Better off forgotten. But when Kaelyn DuChamp’s Maserati overheats near the Hot Rod garage, Bryce’s two worlds collide and he’s forced to admit the horrible truth.

He’s a rebel. A runaway from an aristocratic, old-money home…or mansion, as the case may be. Owned by parents who never hit him, or molested him, or ridiculed him. After all, they’d have had to acknowledge him to do that.

After convincing Kaelyn his job at the garage isn’t a joke, or a crazy phase that’s lasted a decade, he can start damage control both with his gang and the girl he’d always thought was too vibrant for her plastic existence. She can’t spill his secret or everything he’s worked for, built and loved will disappear. His family wouldn’t think twice about throwing money at whoever it took to shut down Hot Rods just to bring their ungrateful heir to heel.

Physical versus mental. Refined versus crass. Quiet versus talkative. Bryce and Kaelyn are opposites in every possible way. And you know what they say about that…

Bryce can’t believe how easily the princess fits amidst his garage monkey friends. Soon Kae is emulating all their wild ways. With her hair down, the badass Barbie is more than his libido can handle. Shifting into high gear, he tries to convince her to stay down and dirty with him.

He’s willing to do anything to keep her. Even wear the mantle of his deep, dark, totally privileged pedigree long enough to set things straight.


Another book in the Hot Rod series you can expect some sizzling heat in this book. Bryce (Rebel) has a big secret he's been hiding from his friends for ten years. He doesn't have a past like theirs. He wasn't abused or had a rough upbringing the way all others have. He had a cushy life in comparison. When Kaelyn's car breaks down no far from the Hot Rods home base he just happens to be the tow truck guy who comes to help her. Kaelyn though he deserted her 10 years ago when their manipulating parents said he left for a life of partying in Europe. Brokenhearted that he left her and never looked back she can't believe he was right there still in the same state as her all this time.  Now he has to decide how to handle her. Let her into his life and tell his friends where he really came from or take her and run. While i loved the idea of both their parents people powerful political people i found it a little to easy for how the handled them. What about the guy who was after her to marry her? I wanted just a little bit more before it all worked out. That cliffhanger ending just tore me up in the end though. Oh how i hate those but it won't keep me from reading the next book darn it! One thing about Jayne Rylon you aren't going to wait a year to find out what happens next. June 24th Swinger Style is slated to release. Can't wait.

ARC Book review: The Day He Kissed Her (Bad Boys of Crystal Lake #3) by Juliana Stone

ARC ebook provided by pubsliher through netgalley. Available now!
He can’t wait to leave…

Mac Draper finally has everything he’s always wanted: An amazing career. A New York City apartment. He’s this close to being free of his past forever. But a mind-blowing encounter with the sexy yet tough-as-nails Lily St. Clare has him delaying his plans to put Crystal Lake in his rearview mirror for good.

She’s finally found a place to stay…

For Lily St. Clare the charming small town of Crystal Lake is her haven – a place she can hide from her famous, back-stabbing family. It’s as close to happy as she’s ever been. Until an unforgettable night with tall, dark and tortured Mac Draper gives her a glimpse of what true happiness feels like.

Lily can’t help but melt a little under the sizzling heat of Mac’s touch. But Mac’s scars run deep, and Lily’s afraid she may be falling for the one man who can never return her feelings..


This is the last book in the Bad Boys of Crystal Lake series. I knew from reading the previous books that Mac's book  was going to be the most difficult to read.  Mac Draper pulled himself up from nothing to become a success, to control his life and his decisions.  Lily St.Claire goes to Crystal Lake to get away from her meddling family.  A sizzling hot encounter with Mac and she thinks that's the last she'll see of him. Little does she know he's in Crystal Lake for the summer to help Jake with a project. When they come face to face again sparks fly!  Both Mac and Lily are damaged from their family lives and both struggle with things that have happened to them but most of this story has to do with Mac's life. His father was an abuser and his mother did nothing about it and even stayed with him even after he went to prison. He can't trust himself to not be like his father so he has to stay in control of everything but Lily makes him feel things and he struggles with whether he can be whole finally or if he should just walk away and protect himself. Mac is really quite a ass through the majority of this book and makes it hard for you to like him but i kept waiting for him to come through. I liked Lily but i don't think her family life was explained well enough. She has her druggy sister living with her and then Lily kicks her out and that's it. Its a small part of the story but not enough there for me in that regard. Overall though the book is a great read. The tension and emotions are raw at times and you just want to hug the characters and tell them it will be OK.  I hate to see the series end but Ms. Stone did a awesome job wrapping it up with a hit.

A rock star who needs to let go….

Instead of killer tunes, he kills time writing passable songs for a British boy band and spends his nights wishing he had the balls to say good-bye.

Claire is a writer having trouble finishing up her latest book and her PR lady tells her she needs to get out there and date for her image as a romance writer.  Bother Ty and Claire get hooked up through the 1nightstand website for one night of whatever.  Ty has to get past his need for his EX and that becomes more evident when he meets Claire. Claire is attracted to him too but when he leaves before morning for his ex she's done. Maybe. ... Claire and Ty each have issues to deal with but you feel a connection between then right from the start. This was a fun fast paced quick sexy read.
