I was slightly disappointed...the first one was SO good that this second instalment had a lot to live up to.
There wasn't as much insane chemistry between Pablo and Dev/Shane as there was between Angelo and Gabe. Pablo was always pushing Shane away. And frankly, there first encounter (which Dev calls a ganster fuck) was quite unemotional and troubling.
I'm starting the 3rd book now so I can find out more about Syren...I'm intrigued.
Merged review:

Elena has no choice but to rely on Rafe since she's pretty desperate. The whole (view spoiler)[virgin having 14 hrs of sex is not very believable (hide spoiler)]

She's always been a little aloof and very focused on her job. Finally we get to see her let down her hair and fall in love. I enjoyed getting to know Kai; he really deserves some happiness after the life he's lived.

Sloane and Zeth end up in some pretty hot water so I can't wait to see what happens next....more

Can I just say that I HATED the first 30% of this book. Why did I give it 4 stars, you ask?

Well it got way better once Is got his head out of his ass and admitted his feelings for Reg. I couldn't stand the way he was totally against being gay.

Kane has been mourning for his long-time lover Bailey. He's so closed off that he tries to deny the feelings he gets for Syren. The attraction, though, is undeniable. Their sex has a hard edge to it...and I wanted something softer. I wanted these guys to take comfort in each other, not be all rough and Dom/sub. Oh well, it's still pretty great.

The insta-lust between the cop Gabe and the criminal Angelo is very intense and all consuming. They just can't resist each other even though they are supposed to be enemies.

We get a harsh look at the underground Russian mob death fights and the families that run them. ADamn, this was dark and so messed up but so, so good.
We get a harsh look at the underground Russian mob death fights and the families that run them. At first, I couldn't connect with Kisa. She seemed so beat down and helpless until something unbelievable happens and she can no longer hide in the shadows.

The only reason it didn't get a 5 star rating is the overload of poker, craps, roulette and all things casino. I am not a card game enthusiast so half the time I didn't really know what was going on. I also couldn't totally understand the Ethan/Crabtree dynamic.
Randy really comes into his own in this story. In Special Delivery, he truly was the "joker", being an asshole, hiding his true feelings, keeping himself distant. Here all that bullshit gets blown away thanks Ethan (another lost soul) and I was amazed to see how brilliant Randy really is. He understands people and what motivates them with his uncanny "reading" and perception abilities.
I loved that Mitch and Sam were so present in this sequel. They were not just cameos with token appearances but rather wonderful secondary characters....Ummmmm fisting!!! Want more details please.
The orgy was pretty awesome but all in all this book lacked some raunch factor and had less sex than Special Delivery....more

I'm usually not a huge fan of sadists/masochists but this was done really well. Dima is quite the little pain slut and he's determined to get Xavier to give him what he needs.
Things progress well and their feelings get deeper. But when Dima finds out that Xavier is the leader of a rival gang, the shit fits the fan.

This book took me for a loop...it wasn't at all what I was expecting. First I thought it was going to be erotica and boy was I wrong. Carmine is 17 and in high school and Haven doesn't go to school because she is a slave. It was more like a YA story with some dark mafia twists. Still pretty good but I found some parts dragged a little (the book was quite long at over 500 pages). There is a lot of emotional stuff happening and lots is still left unresolved. I think there is a sequel, still not sure if I'll read it....more

Romeo and Juliet really steam it up and I can't get enough...he's just sex on a stick. Romeo's brother's Tino and Nova as well as Chuito are wonderful and hilarious characters.

This was not your run of the mill super raunchy biker book. Sure it had some harsher elements but in general these are just a bunch of nice guys in a small town.
Ben is a lone wolf and keeping his cool composure is a great way to keep people away. Then an unexpected run in with Eva flips his world around and he finally starts to feel something.
Eva is also quite alone and determined to make a life for herself. She never expected to fall for a biker...
Wonderful story and well written. Reminds a little of Kristen Ashley's Chaos series....more
I'm kinda torn with this book. On one hand it was extremely well written, the characters just jump off the page. I loved Riley, Misha and McClane and I'm kinda torn with this book. On one hand it was extremely well written, the characters just jump off the page. I loved Riley, Misha and McClane and their sexual chemistry is off the charts. The originality is astounding and combines M/M erotica, sci-fi, action movie and mafia themes. On the other hand I found some of the many POVs overkill. I could have done without the military and scientist point of views. I also found the ending a bit anti-climactic; there was such a build and then...what the hell happened. I looked for another epilogue but alas there wasn't one. Still worth the read though....more
This was my first time reading C.L. Green and a few things threw me for a loop. First off, the book takes place inDamn cliff-hanger ending....grrrr!!!
This was my first time reading C.L. Green and a few things threw me for a loop. First off, the book takes place in Australia (I had no idea) and many of the terms and expressions had me scratching my head a little. The other thing is that I was expecting a biker book (based on the blurb) but Jake and his "brothers" are adamantly NOT an MC.
They wear leather jackets but not cuts and have no patches or titles like president or VP...However, they do have a "clubhouse", have group meetings and do illegal shit. So for me, it's a toss up.
The story grabbed me right away with Arianna's terrible attack and escape. This was very gruesome but I just loved the way that Jake rescues her and take such good care of her. I found Ari's friend Emma to be an amazing woman and her bird Jambo is a hoot. Their easy banter and care-free attitude definitely helped balance out the other dark content.
Will for sure read the sequel to find out what happens next....more
