Whoa....I'm impressed. I was not bored with Volume II, there was no point in which I was tempted to give up and go in search of another more riveting Whoa....I'm impressed. I was not bored with Volume II, there was no point in which I was tempted to give up and go in search of another more riveting romance, nope, I was plastered to my seat while my brained hungrily gobbled up each word, chapter and conflict. I love Sin, I mean the guy is just so butch you can't help but love him. I also love Boyd, he's so broken and vulnerable under that facade of indifference, that I wanna give him a hug, **sniffles** This had some depressing bits that wore on my psyche (guess that's why I'm now mentally exhausted) but ultimately I loved the ending and what's a great book if not for an awesome ending, right? Hats off to these authors, they did a great job with this edited version, can't speak for the original as I have never read it, but hey I'm sure the premise is the same and in the end that's all that matters. Take a read folks, for me it was definitely worth it. Now if I can only get the next one..........more
First of all Evenfall was damn eventful, I just had to throw that out there. Yeah, at first I was like what the hell all the fuss is about? At the 35%First of all Evenfall was damn eventful, I just had to throw that out there. Yeah, at first I was like what the hell all the fuss is about? At the 35% mark I was just about to DNF because frankly I got bored as fuck, but there was something looming at the back of my mind, pushing me to continue therefore I did.....and boy I did not regret it. This is not your typical romance people, both MC's are mentally and socially inept. They are dysfunctional rejects who, despite their shortcomings, seem to work well together. Again this is NOT your typical romance, the build up is slow, the tension is thick and the violence is ghastly and you know what? I GOBBLED THIS SHIT UP!!!
Man oh man, after the 35-40% point of this book something changed....something I didn't expect, something that sucked me in and didn't let go until I got to the last page and when I did I promptly searched for Volume II. Due to the nature in which Boyd and Sin's relationship developed, the pace at which they established a friendship and the manner in which they could never seem to express their feelings, all of it just had me spell bound. I feel honored that these authors would share such a lovely story with their Goodreads audience and I do intend to read more of these books. I recommend this to anyone not looking for the typical M/M romance, someone who's willing to be patient and someone who appreciates violence with a purpose. That is all....more
HA!!!! This book was funny, violent, sweet, action packed and let's not forget AWESOME!!!! Seth and Domenico smh my, my, my how I love th**Evil Grin**
HA!!!! This book was funny, violent, sweet, action packed and let's not forget AWESOME!!!! Seth and Domenico smh my, my, my how I love those two. In keeping with the theme of the first book, both part 1 & 2 this installment of the series just takes us a step further. Seth & Dom, Bonnie & Clyde, Ty & Zane, (hmm) these ride or die relationships is what I live for people!! As readers we are sucked into the lives, trials and tribulations of Seth Villani and Domenico Acerbi and let me tell you the journey was fun and highly entertaining. I am already having withdrawal issues. **sighs** It was a struggle when I got to the end because.......I just didn't want to get to the end of book #2. I wanted to keep seeing another chapter after another I was that engrossed and invested and I can't even recall when last that happened. When will my two studs be back?!! Oh the agony!! You'll have to read this yourself people I'm just to disoriented to give you more......
My mind is pressing rewind just to confirm whether or not this book was as good as I knew it was.......(WOW) Oh Boy, where do I even b**Blink, Blink**
My mind is pressing rewind just to confirm whether or not this book was as good as I knew it was.......(WOW) Oh Boy, where do I even begin, totally floored right now, it was just that good (in my opinion). I'm in love, HA!! like Seth I am totally and completely smitten with Domenico, (aw fuck he is hawttt). I think this could possibly be one of the most romantic M/M romance I have read in a lonngg time. It's dark, it's dangerous, it's engaging and it will leave you breathless (at least it left me on the fucking floor). **Head still spinning** Domenico was so over the top, crazy jealous, wickedly violent, morbidly deadly that I just wanna cheer him the hell on. Sigh, Seth is still a coward but I love him too. Man oh man this was good. I am practically salivating over reading the next book, gosh!! I can't say how much I enjoyed this smh, on to the next one it is.........more
This isn't for everyone. If you're one of those women into all the fluff many M/M romance authors attempt to feed through your psyche then this baby iThis isn't for everyone. If you're one of those women into all the fluff many M/M romance authors attempt to feed through your psyche then this baby isn't for you. If you like your romance syrupy sweet with eye roll worthy dialogue and angst then this is not for you. If your favorite authors are people like Kindle Alexander and A.E Via **snorts** then again, this bad boy is not for you, so walk away now to avoid disappointment.
No it's not sweet, it's not in your face, gushing romance, it's not insta-love **gag** no my friend, what this book is, is violent, twisted, corrupt, hot as fuck and addictive (at least for me) When you get past the "half-brothers" tidbit, because let's face it that pill was a mighty large one to swallow, when you move past Seth and his blubbering, blustering, bumbling ways and breach the troubled soul that is Domenico (now that is a man) and get caught up in his lethal tenacity, violent temperament and deadly precision, all you wanna do is gobble every chapter up until you finally get to the end.
I ate this book word for word like a watermelon on a hot Sunday afternoon. I did not regret it. I absolutely love this writing duo, K. A Merikan you guys caught me, hook, line and sinker. I fell for Domenico and Seth (even though Seth was annoying). I don't know what happens in the future for these two studs but what I can say for sure, is that I can't wait to find out. Keep doing what you're doing guys, because you have one avid fan right here!! Woohoo!! I recommend this one to anyone interested in Mafia law and family dynamics, read at your leisure. ...more

**Sighs**
Bone Rider was not what I had expected (and I really didn't expect anything) I guess that's why I was so pleasantly surprised. This could have easily been 800 - 1000 plus pages and I wouldn't have cared. My eyes were glued to the pages, I don't think I slept, (I have the gritty eyes to prove it) all my concentration and focus was cemented to Riley, McClane, Misha, Andrej, Kylov.....and everyone else and I was prepared to give this book 5 +++ stars. I wanted to, OH how I wanted to but.......no, at the end of it I was left feeling bereft. That "is that it?" feeling overcame me and I felt cheated. It's like you've left the largest slice of cheesecake, hidden in the furthest regions of the refrigerator for later, mentally salivated over eating said cake all day but when you go back after a long day of work to indulge in that slice of heaven someone already ate it. And you're 2 seconds away from losing your shit.......
First off when I really got into this story I was annoyed that I didn't witness the beginning of Misha and Riley's relationship. I wanted to read about how these MC's initially met, I wanted to read about the lies and secrecy and betrayal. I wanted to have a front row seat to the blossoming emotions, the intense longing, the angst FUCK! I wanted everything. I didn't get everything. What I got was an edited version of an intense romance. I got paltry explanations and placating mental flashbacks to fill in the blanks of an already established relationship. (What in fucks name? Why?!!)
Bone Rider had so much potential, I mean this could have been so fucking fantastic IF there were more to it than what I read. It was saturated with so much information from various angles that I was BONE tired at some point. I mean........well, I guess that was for entertainment purposes but I would have really appreciated beautifully written installments of this story than this condensed, too short gem thrown at me out of nowhere. There was so much that needed to be said but not enough pages to do it.....
I gave this four stars because despite my grievances I did enjoy this story, so I guess that's what's important, I'm just miffed at how half assed it felt in the end. Oh well, people I guess you'll be the judge. Now that I'm off this adrenaline rush literary piece I think I'll go take a nap. The End. ...more
