Get 'Deliciously Obedient' with my review of Julia Kent's novel.


“Deliciously Obedient” By Julia Kent


Review by Wendy Dawn


“In Summation”:

The final book in the Obedient trilogy asks whether being authentic means losing everything in order to gain yourself...

Ego bruised but spirits lifted by her relationship with Jeremy, her ex-lover's best friend, Lydia Charles comes home to her family's campground in coastal Maine with a new boyfriend, some old anxieties, and one big question: where's Michael Bournham?

Mike's spent the last month incognito, living at the Charles family campground and sorting through his past to make sense of his future. Dropping out of the media spotlight was the best choice he could have made, and with Lydia safe in the job he created for her, far away in Iceland, he has plenty of time to think about how he hurt her...and how to win her back.

Jeremy followed Mike's instructions to the letter: take care of Lydia. Falling hopelessly for her, though, wasn't in this free-wheeling globe trotter's plan. Meeting her parents and settling down triggers his own issues, and when a sudden tragedy hits one of Lydia's beloved relatives, he finds himself confronting his own past...and shaping the future.

It's all in Lydia's hands now as she breaks every rule in an effort to learn whether the rules ever mattered at all.

“The Reviews are in”:

Julia Kent does it again! She is wrapping up her Obedient series with all the laughs and plot twists you expect. 
As the third installment to the series all, the characters are highly developed and you feel as if you are greeting old friends. Some of the characters from her other series weave into the plot as well. This gives you a sense of security that the characters you have come to love are still out there having fun and being funny.
Lydia comes home from Iceland to lick her wounds and figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life. Michael is still hiding from the world. Jeremy tags along with Lydia for the ride. 
Bringing home a hot tall Nordic looking guy raises some eyebrows at her family’s campground.

“It turns out you brought a Viking home, after all,” Miles said slowly.   ~Lydia’s brother commenting on Jeremy

With things in full swing at the campground no one notices that a guest, Mike, is really the hiding Michael. Therefore, the family goes along with life and Lydia tries to decide what to do next as she bunks with Jeremy. Actually falling for Jeremy comes easier with out Michael in the picture.
Lydia’s friend Krysta comes to the campground to help get Lydia motivated to the next phase of her life. Of course, the girls end up discussing sex and all things male. 

“Anal’s so…last decade. Everyone knows ménage is the new anal.”   ~Miles commenting on the conversation between Lydia and Krysta

Even though Lydia is having the sex of her life, she still is confused. She has no idea what she wants to do, or if Jeremy is the man to be with especially since, she is having dreams about Michael and Jeremy. 
Even discussing it with Krysta does not help.

“Conversations with you are like talking to Dan Savage on acid while licking Miley Cyrus.”   ~Lydia’s friend Krysta talking about sex with Lydia

Lydia’s grandmother, Madge, is quite the character. She has been in several of Ms. Kent’s novels. Her humor will have you rolling on the floor laughing. When you think things are bad…you just need some Madge.

“Get away. All of you. I don’t need eight hands to help me climb out of a sedan. If I’m going to have eight hands on me, they’d better be attached to men wearing butt floss and dollar bills tucked in places not meant for sunlight.”   ~Madge, Lydia’s grandmother wanting everyone to let her be

Jeremy gives Lydia the chance to find out what is still driving her toward Michael. He loves her and is willing to chance what ultimately could be for all three of them.

“Perfect love means no fear. Only a deep knowing, groundedness that comes from wanting the most for each other.”   ~Jeremy describing love to Lydia

From hot sex scenes to serene fall days on the campground, this is the perfect way to end a series. Happiness, sorrow and love. The Obedient series has it all in spades.  Plot twists, heartbreak and travel. 
Fall in love with Ms. Kent’s characters every time you read one of her novels. She never disappoints. Well written and thought out plot lines. Highly developed and engaging characters make her one of the best writers you will ever read. In addition, side splitting humor keep you interested in the fate of her personalities.

Synopsis

Excerpt

"Hey, baby, I can't wait ‘til you're officially Mrs. Walker." His deep whisper pulls me out of my almost asleep state. I roll over to face him and even though it's dark, I watch his face. Nose to Nose. "I'm already yours. You know this." So much has happened since he proposed. We were going to wait another year, but Talon is ready to make it official. I love his urgency—I'm ready, too—but I don’t want to rush it with everything that’s going on with the band and the trial. Rebel Walking lost their spot on the tour when Taron was arrested. We've spent the last five months, either in court or in limbo, waiting for something to happen. A few months ago Taron was released from all charges, but the Walker's haven't rested while the trial for Dylan has been on going. Luckily, this morning he was found guilty on multiple counts of attempted rape, attempted murder and countless other offenses. He will be spending many years in prison, which is where he belongs. The instant relief when the verdict was read was so peaceful. We should be celebrating, but everyone is too exhausted to do anything today.

"I know, but I want the world to know."

"They do. Are you kidding me? We're always together."

"We could just do something small at the lake house. We could walk down to the beach and get married next to the water—just have our family and the crew there to share it with us. Avery can be the flower girl. I’d have Taron, Holden, and Luke on my side and of course you’d have Ivy, Lilly, and Macy on yours."

 "You have this all planned out, don't you?" I sit up in bed and begin to think of all the stuff I'll need to do to pull this off.

"All of the important stuff, I do." He rolls onto his back, pulling my hands toward him. "Come here, baby."

I work my way into a straddle on top of the man who holds my whole heart. "We're not going to stress over this. Let's just keep it simple." I let his words soak in. I can't wait to be Mrs. Talon Walker and it really isn't my style to have a huge wedding, anyway. I figured he would've wanted one, but I'm relieved he doesn't. "Simple. I like it." His hands begin to roam over my body and I take the opportunity to rotate my hips just right so that he feels my warmth. Sleeping naked has its benefits.

"You wicked, wicked woman. Don't you dare tease me." His fingers pinch my nipples as he thrusts upward, reminding me what he's packing. His erection moves right where I want it to. "Oh, I'm not teasing." My breathy voice amuses him. "What's so funny?" This time it's my impatience that's obvious. "You're always so ready for me. You never disappoint."

"Damn straight. Have you ever seen yourself?" I lower my mouth to his chest and begin nibbling over his chest and neck. His hands continue to roam over my body, sending chills in every direction. My hair falls over my face and he uses his hand to swipe it to one side. I feel his hand leave me and his body stretch toward the nightstand right before he flicks on the light. He loves to watch me during sex. It strikes me to the depths of my soul when he does this. His stare pierces straight through my body the entire time. It's raw and so real, but I love it.

I lift my torso back up and watch him tuck his arms beside his head. My fingers run over and through the ridges of his defined stomach. He works hard to stay sculpted and I never miss the opportunity to truly appreciate his efforts.

My fingers follow the muscles straight to where our hips meet. I slowly lift my hips and enjoy that his shaft lifts to the exact spot I need it to be. Sliding down onto him, I close my eyes and love the feeling of him filling me completely. With my hands splayed across his abs, I begin to move slowly.

My focus on how he feels is consuming me. I open my eyes to watch him, not surprised when I find him staring deep into my eyes. Keeping my eyes locked with his, I continue my motions. He allows me to move completely on my own; I love when he gives me control.

~Eaven in 'Banded Together' (Rebel Walking #2.5)

Excerpts:

Ruby Lake:

“Really? What were you doing about twenty minutes ago? And don’t tell me you were thinking, I know what your ‘thinking’ face is. Besides, we’re leaving Saturday, and we are staying at the hotel until then so it’s not like I am going to get a chance at him anyway. I was just commenting on how cute he is.” Illana folded her arms over her chest and stuck her chin out at Sydney. “At least I’m honest about it, unlike some people.”

“What do you want me to say?” Sydney threw her arms up in frustration. “Yes, I think Zeke is hot, like burn-me-at-the-stake kind of hot. The man brought me a perfect cup of coffee while I was sleeping. Who does that? I almost spilled my coffee this afternoon when Betty told me he called her to find out how I like my coffee. So, yeah, I want him. How could I not? I mean, the only thing that would make him sexier is a gold-hoop earring! My heart does jumping jacks whenever he walks into the room,” At Illana’s wide-eyed look, Sydney said, “and he’s standing right behind me, isn’t he?”

“Yeah, but don’t stop now, especially if you’re going to do jumping jacks,” Zeke said, leaning against the door jam and wearing a very satisfied grin.

 

A Wedding in Ruby Lake:

Illana walked quickly into her room and grabbed her black clutch purse, opening it to drop her cell phone in it. She checked her hair, red tipped today, and makeup one last time in the mirror above the dresser and then walked out the door, pulling it shut quietly so as not to wake the other houseguest. Turning around, she ran smack into his chest.

Ow, hi, I didn’t hear you get up. Did we wake you?” she asked, her face turning pink as she looked at Tyler.

“No, I’ve been up for hours actually,” Tyler said, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. “Just so you know, my heart has already been spoken for. But if it wasn’t, you’d be very fun to chase…and catch.”

Illana felt a pang of disappointment, and a wave of relief. “Ha, like you’d catch me to begin with. I never date men who are prettier than me.”

 

Stay A While in Ruby Lake:

“Stop yelling, I’m awake, for goodness sake,” Diana said, pulling her fancy new earbuds out of her ears.

Illana sat down, one hand on her chest. “You usually hear the door open, your face was so peaceful, I thought…”

Diana put a hand on Illana’s knee. “I know what you thought, and it is coming. I hope you don’t do that when I do go. When I go home, there won’t be any more pain. You must be brave, my girl, you must. There are so many things I want to say, do, see with you. I want to dance, I want to sing more songs, but we are running out of time. I want to say I love you a thousand more times, so much so it will soak into your skin and stain it. So you will have it forever.

EXCERPT

The tropical sun pours over us and a bead of sweat runs down my neck, along the valley of my breasts. Jude pauses, pulls the camera away, and eyes me dangerously. It’s the kind of look he’d have before flooring a car down a long dirt road: impulsive and alive.

“Let’s move to the water,” Jude commands. My cheeks flush under his gaze, and I wonder what he thinks of the photos so far.

As we step closer to the slow-rolling shore, I shake out my hair and let it fall alluring around my face.

“Stay facing me,” Jude directs, “and walk slowly back into the water, like you’re inviting me in with you.” I keep my gaze on Jude and do as he says, letting the tropical waters lap up around my feet. With a seductive little wag, I draw him and the camera toward me and he keeps clicking away, stepping closer and closer. Once my ankles hit the water, I drop down onto my knees and part my thighs alluringly, trying to show off the bikini bottom. I’m hardly an inch or two into the water, but it feels so refreshing against my skin. I sigh happily and dig my toes into the sand.

“Good, Angel,” he whispers so that only I can hear.

I love moving for him, and I blossom under his positive appraisal, wanting to please him even more. I want him to remember this image when he’s alone tonight.

Playing off his confidence in me, I twine one hand through my hair and pull my head back gently while my other hand finds the strings on my bikini bottom. I tug down so that the bottom exposes another inch of my lower hip. The action should look sexy on camera, like I’m right in the moment of seduction— pulling the tiny string on my bikini and revealing everything. For Jude. He licks his bottom lip and I smile seductively into the lens before pulling another inch down.

“Charley,” he warns quietly, but his husky voice turns me on even more.

“Good!” Ryan yells from a few feet away, oblivious to Jude’s behavior.

But I don’t need Ryan’s encouragement anymore. I’m a woman trying to seduce a man and my body knows what to do. I lean back, letting the salty water drench my hair and bathing suit so that the material clings to my skin even more.

“Stay down like that, Charley,” Jude orders, stepping over my ankles and coming to stand above me. His foot hits my leg beneath the water and the touch electrifies my skin. I follow his instructions, letting my legs fall open a few inches so that he can see the thin material between my legs. I reach back and prop my hands into the sand, supporting my upper body. My back twists and I arch up until I see the muscles tighten in his jaw. I love affecting him like this, especially after how he left things last night. I’m exacting my revenge and driving us both insane. My eyes narrow seductively and my lips part, pleading with Jude to push me back into the sand and take me right here.

“Damn, Charley,” Ryan huffs.

I want to push the limits; I want to see how far Jude will let me go. It feels like a high-stakes poker game. Who’s going to fold first? With one hand still stuck in the sand, I reach up with the other and tug down the middle of my bandeau top ever so gently. I wouldn’t have revealed anything, just another millimeter of my skin, but Jude doesn’t let me.

“Enough,” he snaps, dropping the camera away from his face and revealing his losing hand.

“What! Are you insane?” Ryan huffs with wide eyes.

I drop down into the sand and sit frozen, volleying my eyes between the two men.

“We’ve got everything,” Jude responds sharply.

Ryan’s arm shoots out to gesture toward me. “She was completely working the camera!” he protests. Jude doesn’t look at him; he’s staring down at me with fire behind his blue eyes. He’s pissed and he’s not even trying to hide it from me.

Get revved up with "Ryder"!


“Ryder” 

Scorpions MC Prequel 

By Jani Kay


Review by Wendy Dawn


“In Summation”:

Contains Explicit Sex & Extreme Language for Mature Audiences 18+++ 
WARNING!!! 
PLEASE DO NOT read this book if you are easily offended or squeamish about language or sexual situations. It is a prequel. Purpose: to give background on the characters - why they are the way they are. It is purely FICTION. 

Ryder has a foul mouth and a dirty mind and doesn't think much of women after being deserted by his mother as a kid - he's a MC biker FFF - one who had a ROUGH childhood...so expect BAD things in his past...it's what makes him the person he is... I'm not apologising for that and I'm not 'softening' Ryder in any way (and insulting my reader's intelligence in the process). Deal with it!!! 
Because as much as it IS fiction, these things do happen in real life... 


All Jade ever wants is an intelligent, well-mannered, and highly educated man like her daddy. One who has stellar career prospects as he climbs the corporate ladder to success. A good provider who will give her a stable life and a gorgeous house in the right neighborhood. A charmed life. Everything orderly and well balanced. Her perfect match. 
What she doesn’t want is a smartass, cocky, rough-around-the-edges biker. One who has tattoos and piercings, and looks like a sex god. One who is demanding and controlling. The ultimate alpha male who storms into her life and shakes her to the core. Who won’t take no for an answer. 
Jade never saw it coming. Ryder is the one man she can’t resist. He shows her what she really needs. Him. 
Jade is the quintessential good girl. But what if she discovers that her perfect world isn’t as great as she believes it to be? 
Underneath the layer of propriety, is there a naughty girl waiting to break free. Is Ryder the man to show her how? 

All Ryder wants is inner peace. Freedom from the hatred churning in his gut. 
Since his mother deserted him, his life has turned to shit. 
He’s killed a man, lost his brother and fought for his survival. All before turning twelve. 
Saved by Razor and Cobra, sons of the Scorpions, he owes his life and allegiance to them. The Scorpion MC is his only family. One he will serve and protect till his dying breath. 
What he doesn’t need in his life is a smart mouthed woman who thinks she’s better than him. One who pushes every one of his buttons. One who challenges him to want to be more than a drifter. One who makes him question everything he’s ever known. 
Ryder never saw it coming. He can’t get Jade out of his head. She shows him what he really wants. Her. 

Two worlds colliding. Can they make it work? Or will it tear them apart? 
Ryder wants Jade beneath him. Submitting to him and only him. 

“I’m addicted to the taste of you, baby. Your skin. Your mouth. Your pussy. Give it to me. All of it. I want it all.” ~ Ryder 

Jade has other plans that don’t include badass biker boys. 

“A perfect man is non-existent. So I wasn’t waiting for a perfect man. I was just waiting for the man who was perfect for me.” ~ Jade 

Can two people, so different in every way, find love? 

        The Prequel is a novella, and continues in Scorpions MC: Two Worlds Colliding (Book 1) Release Date: 18 March 2014. The Prequel also ties in with the Firebird Series: characters from 'Lost in France' appear in this prequel. (If you would like to read more about Max, Ryder's half brother, and Rebecca, Jade's cousin, you will enjoy Lost In France.) 

“The Reviews are in”:

A wonderful beginning to a new series of novels. You are introduced to some new characters with some wonderful background stories. There are some familiar faces thrown in as well from some of Ms. Kay’s previous novels.
Two individuals that have opposite backgrounds and ambitions cross paths, they challenge each other’s patience first then they challenge each other’s libidos.
Jade is a princess. She can take care of herself, but she is Daddy’s little girl. Her life is all planned out for her, at least in her mind. She is onboard with Daddy’s plans for her to marry and have the white picket fence. However, she has an idea of what type of man she wants to settle down with as a wife. 
Finishing in college, she is not stupid. Jade’s quick wit and strait forward approach makes her an interesting personality. 

Not understanding why my heart was beating so furiously at the sight of him striding toward me, with a cocky grin plastered on his face. Yes, Ryder Knox was sex on legs.   ~Jade observing Ryder

Jade’s attraction to the tough as nails biker is pushed to the back of her mind as she observes him and goes on with her life and well mapped out future. She never imagined that Ryder was attracted to her. 
Ryder is the bad boy all women want. He has an unimaginable childhood. His story is heart breaking. He finds his salvation through his new family; Scorpions MC. Loyal to a fault, Ryder is exactly what you see he puts up no fronts or makes any excuses.
Finally, he is in the right place at the right time to be a knight in shining armor for Jade. He scoops her up and proceeds to make her his woman.

How screwed up this was. A princess and a biker. It couldn’t work in a million years. I know that. Yet, I couldn’t stop myself even if I wanted to.   ~Ryder musing about his new possessiveness of Jade

Some of Ryder’s language and endearments will make you blush. He is a hard-core MC biker. It’s exactly how you would imagine him…hot, tattooed and unapologetic. He takes what he wants at he happens to want Jade.
Neither character can predict what will happen next. It is exciting to see them come together. You will look forward to the series just to see what happens with these lovers. Motorcycle sex has never been so hot!

AUTHOR BIO

Jani has been married for a long time to a special man, and her two children and their partners are the sunshine in her life. She is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar on a book - always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through someone else's eyes.

Besides reading, her favorite 'thing' is traveling - she hastraveled the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby - Scrapbooking - keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects are her family and her travels.

Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness - arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately desires (in her humble opinion).
