haven't came across a Carmen Jenner book that I didn't like, For me there were pros and cons to her newest book, Bear,
Pros:
Bear is a cocky and sexy MC member and will do everything to protect his MC brothers and those he cares about.
Jupiter is a tiny whisp of a woman who is pretty badass and runs her families mechanic shop, Her brothers also work there and she pretty much the family matriarch, I enjoyed their enemies to lovers chemistry, It was like a cat and mouse bickering and fighting their feelings for one another,
Cons:
I like MC romance every so often and yes, I did enjoy this book, However I do not care for sex scenes when the two involved call each other "Daddy" and "Baby girl", Ewwww. And there are a lot of these scenes, Hell I read erotica and romance novels and I enjoy reading the sex scenes, Just not the daddy/daughter complex during sex, Gag
I also didn't care for Bear calling Jupiter his bitch or just bitch in general and her being okay with it, Very degrading towards women. .Stars
Ok so, I havent read the other books in this series, which looks to be by different authors, I just went straight to this one as I like Carmen Jenner books and I had it already on my kindle.
And while it can be enjoyed as a standalone, theres a lot of characters and relationships I think would have made this story better had I read the other books first.
My bad.
I really liked Bear and I loved Jupiter! They had a great little enemies to lovers romance and I enjoyed the club aspect of it.
I was hoping for a bit more grit and drama with the club, everything was sorted very quickly, which I suppose can be expected given the length of the book.
It was very sexy as well which is always good
Im definitely interested in revisiting this series from the beginning and really getting to know everyone, especially Ruin and his lady, and who Im assuming is Chaoss daughter I cant remember her name or the name of the guy shes with my bad.
Their first encounter was an unmitigated disaster,
Bear the ex Seal, four years as a sharpshooter on the Teamsnow hes a Nomad, Jupiter is the pintsized, mouthy town mechanic, their chemistry was combustibleat their first encounter, Bears vulnerabilities were endearing to witness especially since hed been betrayed yes she shows up,
Brothers before all others, That's the Kings of Carnage MC creed, Unfortunately his Sergeant at Arms didnt get the brotherhood memo as he betrayed him with Bears old lady,
Even with distance between him and Tennessee, there's still not enough to outrun his nightmares, After Afghanistan, he gave everything to the brotherhood, Until his bike breaks down in Uprising, Georgia, and a lavenderhaired minx holds his bike hostage,
Jupiter Jones is unlike any other woman,
Her brother has been moving drugs through the garage, They would bring in a vehicle hed swap the packages from one car to the other, Complete a basic oil change or fit new brake pads so she remained unsuspecting,
When they saw the Kings MC there, they assumed hed crossed them, When Grant got shot, he moved the drugs, knowing the cops would be crawling all over the garage, But he missed the window for the exchange, Now both sides are gunning for his blood because they think hes dealing with the Kings, “I already told them I have the merchandise, but they no longer want it, They want me out altogether and if I dont come up with the money for the drugs, theyre gonna burn the garage to the ground and come after me.
”
Approaching Ruin she asks him to allow her to be in one of his snuff films,
She figured this was the fastest way to make fast money,
Ruin narrows his eyes, “What kind of trouble you in”
“I, . . its not me. Its Bobby Ray. Chaos would kill him for running drugs through Kings territory, especially when he found out that a rival motorcycle club is involved, not to mention this organization in Atlanta.
“He took some money from the garages account and invested in something that didnt pay off, ”
Not only is Tink Jupiter an angry feminist whos wild in bed and a master under the bonnet, but shes also a fiery speed racer.
There is a brief glimmer of his ex, unfortunately her appearance fails to generate any emotion or notice,
Entertaining. Well, hello Carmen Jenner! So nice to have you back AND writing in the MC world, I love a good MC book and Bear was just that, Gritty, dark, explosive, some laughs and a love story all wrapped into one,
Bear is bookin the Kings of Carnage series that has been written by a variety of authors, While this is book, it is a complete standalone and you do not need to read any of the previous books, This was my first and I didn't feel lost or like I was missing out on anything, BUT now I want to read more in this world because the characters were quite intriguing and I'd love to see what the other authors bring to their members of the MC.
Bear starts out with him rolling into town with a broken down bike, Jupiter finds this biker and brings him and his bike to the shop and promises to work on it, They have an instant and undeniable hatelove chemistry that you know will just burn up the pages if they give in to it,
Bear is big, bad, full of tattoos and a past that he doesn't share with anyone, but it affects him each day.
He no longer belongs to any one MC and is Nomad, He belongs to no one, but is always there to help his fellow brothers, While he waits for his bike to be fixed, drama will come knocking,
Jupiter is a petite spit fire that gives as good as she gets and is one bad ass little chick, She runs the mechanic shop and is basically the mother hen to her brothers, She's the one that takes care of her family, She not only can work on cars and bikes, but this chick is fierce and can race cars with the best of them, Don't mess with hot babe as she will surely put you into your place, When one of her brothers gets in a bit of trouble, she is there to pick up the pieces, But Bear won't let her do it alone,
These two can fight it all they want, but it's fun to see these two banter and fight their attraction, Once they get down and dirty, I didn't want them to stop, They just have IT, Along with these two and their banter and obvious chemistry, we also have a dangerous story taking place, Ms Jenner writes a well plotted out
story that is fastpaced and page turning, The danger, the pain and the connection between all the supporting characters makes for an exciting book, The MC is all about the brotherhood, but how far will Bear push that and will Jupiter be along for the ride
I'm excited to read more in this series because I am liking the other MC members and the way they all relate to one another.
Give me a well written MC series and I am there, Bear was a great start and I need more, Jupiter Jones comes to Bears rescue when his Harley breaks down as he makes his way to the Kings of Carnage MC compound that first meeting between the pair sets the tone for many of their encounters to come.
Jupiters not your average girly girl, she may have the candycoloured hair and be easy on the eyes but shes a tough, tattooed, tiny slip of a woman who knows her way around a toolbox, loves muscle cars and enjoys burning rubber oh, and she doesnt do bikers, which doesnt bode well for Bear, but can he change this little spitfires mind Put it this way hes determined to try.
Trouble heading Jupiters way sees her at the mercy of Bear and his brothers from the MC, however Bear doesnt have all the power it soon becomes clear that the petite, lavender haired beauty has him by the short and curlies.
Bear might be the “Daddy” but hes well and truly wrapped around Jupiter's little finger, neither one of these two were looking for a relationship, let alone love, but maybe it was fate which brought them together that day in the dust at the side of the road, leading towards an exciting, action filled future for the pair of them.
Part of the Kings of Carnage MC, Prospects, Bear is the fourth book from a series of six, each one is written by one of six bestselling Authors who we all know and love, its an amazing MC romance read, jam packed and filled with lots of "edge of your seat" action as well as addressing the consequences of having been at war as we witness Bear deal with having Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
From their first meeting, with the chemistry there was between them, you just knew that Bear and Jupiter were going to be one hot, hot, hot couple, I loved the whole “Daddy” trope between them, which was a huge surprise as thats not my thing, well not usually, Carmen Jenner has been the first Author where I havent been uncomfortable with the “Daddy” word being used, damn the woman done it good.
