About this ebook

When tragedy struck, the loss of Jordan and Wren’s shared lover ripped them apart.

Guilt and shame made it impossible for Agent Jordan Mikalski to look the love of his life in the eye. If he couldn’t face her, he sure as hell couldn’t live with her or make love to her or even be the man to comfort her in the depths of her grief.

Wren Asbery’s mourning threw her into a deep depression she wasn’t sure she’d ever climb out of, made worse by Jordan’s abandonment in the time of her greatest need. For that she’ll never forgive that bastard.

After years of slow healing they realize they’re both attracted to the same man, which means they have some things to figure out fast. Will Kason Cox be doomed to lust after two people who can’t stand each other or will he be able to become the glue that sticks them back together?

This is a standalone book in the Hot Rides series and includes an HEA with no cheating. The series is part of the greater universe where both the Powertools and Hot Rods books are also set, so you can visit with many of your previous favorite characters and see what they’re up to now!

Ratings and reviews

This is the second book in the series. This one for me is filled with a lot emotion. The beginning my heart just broke for the characters. I could feel their pain. There were many subtlety sweet moments that were a big impact for the characters. Example is the autographed backstage pass. It means so much for the characters to feel connected once again. It was beautiful watching Jordan, Wren, and Kason together. Wren finding the a peace that fills the hole she's had inside her. Kason and Jordan exploring the new path in life they never thought they could experience. It's not going to be easy especially with Kason being in the public spotlight, but with the support of the Hot Rides and Hot Rods gang they may be able to find their balance at a HEA. There is a ton of heat and chemistry between the three, but you can feel the connection between them which makes it beautiful. If you're a fan of menage Jayne Rylon is the author for you! I loved the set up for the next book.

***4 Stars*** After seeing the tension between Wren and Jordan in Wild Ride, I was totally looking forward to seeing how the rift between them would be mended and who would become the third in the poly-romance and I wasn’t disappointed. The emotional gut punches were balanced out with humor, a lot of heart and a bit of meddling/help from those who’d been there done that and wanted to see them get their HEA. I really liked Wren, Jordan and Kason. All of them are really good people who are struggling to let go of their pasts, find forgiveness and redemption while figuring out how to be happy in their present and futures. Their journey, from start to finish, was a rocky with each of them at different stages of acceptance of their wants and needs, but with a little (ok A LOT) of help from their friends, they each have those ‘lightbulb’ moments and prove that they are perfect for each other. This is another great addition to the series, and world. The writing was engaging and I enjoyed the multiple third person POV’s. As I said, there was a lot help in getting Wren, Jordan and Kason together, but as the saying goes ‘It takes a village.’ and I loved how the Powertools, Hot Rods and Hot Rides crew all stepped in to help. And then there was the set up for the next book, it’s definitely going to be explosive and I cannot wait to see how it all plays out. ~ Copy provided by the author & voluntarily reviewed ~

This highly entertaining read has a strong story line that relies heavily on steamy heat and raw emotions. The relationship between these characters (especially Jordan and Wren) is complex, painful and complicated. This book will capture and keep your attention as love, loss, grief, pain, anger, hope, second chances and new beginnings all have a place in this powerful and engaging romance. A very enjoyable read.
