This was an awesome start to a brand-new series. We loved Volt and & Jackie’s story. Talk about an alpha Volt was a total alpha no hold bars with that man he felt a connection when he met Jackie years ago but, it was not the right time for him to pursue her but, a chance meeting years later convince him it’s no time like the present to make her his.
Loved Jackie she was a firecracker along with being feisty, independent take no crap kind of her, and we loved her from the moment we met her she kept things interesting. Volt was a take life by the balls kind of guy and with Jackie in his sight he was in full throttle mode. We loved how possessive and protective he was of her and believe me Jackie was a handful, did we mention she was willful?
This was yet another great read in this ongoing series. We are so loving this series and its characters so, so much. This story was full of emotion and sadness along with being intriguing, so much so that it had you engrossed in the pages the entire time.
As always you have to love its characters as Jackie and Volt were clearly meant to be together even though their journey was a bit rocky.
We loved it as it was a well written tale that was sexy and fun and one that touched the reader’s emotions as well !
Throughout the series Volt and Jackie have been a couple, not just a couple but THE couple, the President and his old lady. We finally get to go back in time and see just how the two got together, and what a story this ended up being. With some really hard subject matters, this book is pulling no punches. Volt is an uber alpha that knows what he wants and doesn’t have any qualms about letting Jackie know it. Jackie thinks that Volt is crazy with some of the things he says, but she can’t deny that she also feels the pull towards him. The true test is when things get a bit sticky and Jackie finds herself in a bit of trouble; will she trust Volt to keep her safe?
I am so glad we got to go back and see this story play out. Volt with his OTT alphaness and Jackie with her need for independence the two come together and make magic. Drama, danger, violence, really hot naughty bits, and some things that may need a trigger warning. There were a few moments where I found Jackie a bit… annoying but thats just IMO; this was a really good MC read. I give this 4 stars.
Kept me reading. Very gritty story with lots of feelings, danger, love, and family. A couple of times, I actually had tears in my eyes. Volt was direct, knew what he wanted, and went for it. Jacqueline was hesitant about what she wanted until she met Volt. I loved her willingness to accept Volt’s attentions and assistance. She gave as good as she got but was still innocent of the MC life. I enjoyed all of the steam, bluntness, pain, family, and love. I recommend this story.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
Jackie’s life changed the day her best friend’s life took a dark turn. It was the day that she met Henry “Volt” Adler. Two years pass and they meet again and this time Volt is not going to let her go, but when the past comes back with a vengeance it may be a challenge for them both. Wow! What a story. I loved every single word. This story was riveting and I couldn’t put it down. Characters that jumped off the pages and came to life. Amazing writing and an author that I will read again and again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
When her best friend is brutally assaulted Jackie goes to the MC to tell her dad and while there, she meets Volt. Now 2 years later Volt who is the president of the MC and Jackie meet again and this time he is determined to claim her, and now that her life is in danger, he will protect her no matter what. No spoilers: this is a definite must read for all MC lovers you will not be disappointed. This is a well written story which is a thrilling, intriguing and all-consuming page turner. I look forward to reading more in this riveting series.
Love from Tragedy
Simone was Jackie’s best friend since she was little and they are now sharing a place together while at college. Then tragedy strikes and Simone is left a shell of herself. Since Jackie thought that there was no other choice she contracts Simone’s dad for help and that’s when she meets the handsome biker Volt. The timing is off for so many reasons for things to start now between Volt and Jackie so they don’t have contact for another two years. From this very first meeting Volt knows what he wants in the future and that is Jackie.
Now Volt is back and won’t take no for an answer…he wants Jackie in his life and he’ll prove it to her that the age difference doesn’t matter. If even possible Simone had back slid even more and things don’t look good. Jackie wants justice for her friend and Volt is just the man to help. Within that two years’ time Volt is now the Prez for Riots MC and has connections that just may be able to help get revenge for what happened to Simone. It’s even more important now especially since one of the guys from Simone’s gang attack is now making contact with Jackie.
I loved the connection between Volt and Jackie along with the love Jackie held for her best friend. This book is a rollercoaster of feelings and Volt and Jackie sure steamed things up. I can’t wait to see what’s next with the Riot MC.
We finally get Jackie and Volt’s story, folks! And it’s a GOOD one. Jackie meets Volt after making the decision to bring in some reinforcements for her best friend after said friend is destroyed in the absolute worst, evil way that a woman can be destroyed. She’s not expecting a slightly crass, bossy biker to be in her face, but that’s what she gets with Volt. He lets her go because the timing is all wrong, but comes roaring back into Jackie’s life once he gets his own messes sorted out. The only problem? Jackie isn’t as all-in with Volt’s plan to start an “us” with him as he is with her. But Volt never was one to give up and walk away, and he’s especially determined to make Jackie his because he sees just how great their life can be together. Sure, Volt is a tad overbearing, but Jackie is a strong woman herself and she’s not above giving a little resistance and a LOT of sass when necessary to keep Volt in line, which is a must for a Riot MC man.
Volt and Jackie have a hard, bumpy road at times, but there’s no one better to have by her side when everything goes so wrong than the man who would burn down the world just to get some justice and keep Jackie safe. I loved this story because it gives more insight into just why Volt is so protective in the other books in the series, as well as giving us the whole tale of how Jackie and Volt came to be. Well done, as usual, Karen. Well done.
Starting the Riot is a prequel to the Riot MC series, and is Jackie and Volt’s story. I loved reading their story and the characters in from the other books before they met the loves of their lives. I have read several of the other books and discovered I missed a few, and look forward to reading them as well. I would recommend not just this book, but the entire series for anyone who love MC romance.
This is a sweet MC with some suspense added to it. Who says opposites don’t attract? Well whoever said that needs to grab a copy of this book to see just how well 2 opposite people mesh together.
Jackie didn’t know how much her life was going to change after the attack to her bestfriend. She does what she needs to do to make sure her bestfriend Simone is taken care of. Unbeknownst to her she caught the eye of Volt. Volt dealing with some issues of his own at the time took a step back until his life and club straightened out. Fast forward a few years and an unexpected reacquaintance between these two occurs. Jackie’s sassy attitude leaves Volt wanting more of her. As the two of them travel down a road neither of them are really prepared for they both find exactly what they need. Volt is a man of his word, and will not let anything happen to Jackie.
Wow, what a story. I loved seeing how Riot MC all started. What a rollercoaster of emotions. Have tissues ready for this story.
I loved Volt and Jackie together, Volt knew what he wanted and fought for it. I loved how he didn’t give up on Jackie in the bumps of the road.
This is prequel to Riot MC. And well worth reading.
