Jessica Jakes is running for her life. Her knight in
shining motored armor is the unlikely Ike Young of the
Raven Riders Motorcycle Club, whom she knows from work at
Hard Ink tattoo parlor. Jess's home was ransacked, and
she was almost attacked. Ike is the only one she could
think who could help her. He takes her to his
surprisingly quaint little cottage outside of Baltimore
to hide. Jessica may have seen someone who was involved
in the bombing of Jeremy and Nick Rixey's business,
owners of Hard Ink. Jessica has always had the hots for
Ike, who won't act on his own attraction to Jess because
he cannot forget that the only woman he ever loved died
on his watch, literally, but oh how he burns for the
tattooed, pierced Jess.
HARD AS STEEL is a crossover novella featuring characters
from the Hard Ink world and an introduction to
Ms. Kaye upcoming Raven Riders series. Hardcore fans will
be thrilled and newcomers will feel right at home, as all
the necessary details are provided by Ms. Kaye relevant
to the story arc. Jess is a fantastic heroine: brave,
vibrant, and loud, while Ike proves to be a bit of a
softie under all his Alpha-hood, and their chemistry is
seriously hot. Although short, HARD AS STEEL is action-
packed, twists and turns abound, even on an interpersonal
level between Jess and Ike. The author takes time to
further delve into the characters of Jess and Ike and
provides much background on both. HARD AS STEEL is raw,
edgy, gritty, and the dialogues are amongst the best
Laura Kaye has ever written. The sex is hotter than ever,
Jess and Ike are yet another fantastic couple in this
series, their passion is palpable, their chemistry is
feverishly scorching. Jess and Ike are as real as it
gets! I find absolutely astonishing how much Ms. Kaye can
pack in about 100 pages: the story is extremely tight,
hermetically plotted, and totally captivating. HARD AS
STEEL holds as much material as most full-length novels.
Laura Kaye puts the pedal to the metal with HARD AS STEEL
with the first instalment of a new series that promises
to be as exciting, innovative and successful as her
Hard Ink series. Bring it on!
After identifying her employer's dangerous enemies, Jessica
Jakes takes refuge at the
compound of the Raven Riders Motorcycle Club. Fellow Hard
Ink tattooist and Raven
leader Ike Young promises to keep Jess safe for as long as
it takes, which would be
perfect if his close, personal, round-the-clock protection
didn't make it so hard to hide
just how much she wants him--and always has.
Ike Young loved and lost a woman in trouble once before. The
last thing he needs is
alone time with the sexiest and feistiest woman he's ever
known, one he's purposely kept
at a distance for years. Now, Ike's not sure he can keep his
hands or his heart to himself-
-or that he even wants to anymore. And that means he has to
do whatever it takes to
hold on to Jess forever.
This review makes me want to read this series all the more....Kristen Ashley's CHAOS series was the first MC club story I read, introducing me to the genre...I find I quite enjoy it! (Kathleen Bylsma 3:29pm September 30, 2015)
