I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
Wowzers!! What a powerhouse couple Coby and Brogan are but only if they can both overcome their past and love who they are. Coby is the sniper on the Vice-One special ops team. He is like the stealth bomber. You never know he is there until it’s too late. Brogan she is a member of the Kings Harlots let me tell you do not under estimate her. Ever heard powerful things come in small packages this describes her to a T.
Brogan has had a thing for Coby for a long time but after being turned down when she asked him out she walks away. Her dark side is the only thing that can keep her centered. It is hard for her to let people in because of her past and her dark side. She is one woman you do not want to tango with she will tear you up no matter who you are or how big you are.
Coby Porter is all alpha never misses a shot and takes what he wants. He has a dark side too and even though he knows Brogan wants him he does not think he is good enough for her. Coby is sure he will taint her if he pursues her. However, she does make it hard to resist her.
When these two get together talk about explosions. Coby may be a sharp shooter but the man has some wicked knife skills. I fell in love with Brogan’s spunk and all around Bad A$$ness. I loved seeing the tender side of Coby one only Brogan saw. This is my favorite of the series even though they were all great. Coby is my favorite so far. I do have to say I was so excited to see my man Lucas in this book. It has been too long Lucas I have missed you.
A couple of my favorites:
“I don’t talk. Never have. But with you, it comes so easy. Even though I don’t talk about my past, I have no problem talking about my future with you.”
A dominant air slid off Lucas, thick and inviting. It made me wonder what exactly his story was and who this woman was that was able to tame him.
Great writing on J.M.’s book. There were some really sick people in this book. There is a lot of drama and u always look for a happily every after, but in these books that’s not the case. There is always trouble over their horizon. Can’t wait for next book. Hope it’s Dale. Feel for Max and her loss and Dale in a Coma. Hope these 2 find their way.
Sweet baby Jesus! This series is taking everything from me, but I can’t stop!! Darkness consumes Coby and Brogan in its own way but together will the light shine through?
Brogan is one bad a$$ chick but fights with her own demons as does Coby, but he sees so much more when he looks at Coby. But there are dark forces are determined to break them and their band of brothers and sisters.
Literally, this book and Stain (book two), I had a lump in my throat, a tear in my eye but so much hope in my heart. I may need to. Breathe little before I move to Book Five! Oh, and did you know that a certain somebody may or may not make an appearance in this too?!! Boom!
Rude is just…I can’t even tell you how much I love this book! Asher and Meeka used to be my favorite in the King’s Harlots-Vice One world until Rude came along and kicked Asher and Meeka and everyone else’s asses all over the place. Coby and Brogan are so perfect for each other. Each is damaged and lonely and lusting after the other, and that lust soon becomes love. They have to fight, and fight damn hard, though, to keep that love and each other.
The same evil that has been haunting everyone in this world visits Coby and Brogan, only what happens to them is even more twisted, even darker, more grim, and rawer than ever before. Thank God Brogan and Coby have minds and hearts made of steel, because they need to be superhero strong to withstand what happens to them in Rude.
If you want your love with serious doses of violence, dirty, steamy sex, and most importantly, raw and gritty emotion, then I highly recommend you check out Rude, but not just Rude, this whole series that JM Walker has written. You’ll fall in love with the King’s Harlots and Vice One just as I have.
We meet the clan from both the The King’s Harlots and Vice One once again.
But this time we get Coby and Brogan.
This is their story, their voice.
And what a twisted, dark, sordid story it is.
I have to be honest, I am at a complete loss right now as to what to say.
My heart is broken.
It’s hard to breathe.
I am speechless.
Rude has simply broken me in such a twisted way that I have no words right now.
It has completely shattered my soul.
And the funny thing is…..I absolutely loved every minute of it.
It consumed me from beginning to end.
The emotion I felt was just mind blowing and heart crushing.
I could feel the pain and the hurt bleeding from every page turned.
Both Coby and Brogan are tortured souls.
Their pasts have moulded them in to what they are today.
They have both been broken beyond repair.
So both of them do what they can to get through life.
It can be at times a dark place for them both, but yet they both manage.
But what happens when you bring two dark and dangerous souls together?
What happens when their evil sides surface?
Can they seek comfort in each other?
Or will they tear each other apart?
I honestly don’t have any words that could make anyone understand how brilliant this novel is. Written with such depth and meaning, you can’t help but be drawn to every page turned. You can’t help but be held hostage by the darkness. You can’t help but be transfixed to the sheer dark, depraved and deadly world of Coby and Brogan.
Sickly twisted, dark, gruesome, highly confronting, soul crushing and so much more.
You do not want to miss this.
JM Walker….Thank you. You have given us perfection.
5 stars
CobyEffinPorter!! This book is amazing. So many twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat! The fierce love between Brogan and Coby is HOTTTTT!!! They have to overcome many obstacles to get there HEA but for them it is totally worth it! You will fall in love with Coby just like Brogan by the end of the book!
This series just keeps getting better.
Coby is my favorite to date, he’s a loner, has his own issues and deals with them his own way.
He has demons and no matter how much he tries to keep them at bay, sometimes he has to let them out, problem is the woman he wants to turn them loose on has no clue what he’s capable of.
Brogan is flipping amazing.
She’s smart, strong, independent and everything that Coby needs to calm his demons. What ever he needs to dish out she can take, they are so perfect for each other.
She has her own demons, she doesn’t realize just how much their mirror Coby’s but she’s about to find out!!
And just when you think things are going to work out there’s a tipping point, a huge one that made me curse and want to cry.
I adore this series, it’s unique with characters that burrow into your soul and stay there. Loved Rude and cannot wait for more.
The saga continues with King’s Harlots and Vice-One. This is Brogan and Coby’s story. All of the characters have a ton of depth and some level of brokenness to them but Brogan and Coby seem to the most ‘broken’. Brogan grew up in a male dominated household, she is the tough chick that likes to inflict pain, over the years people felt she was mentally unstable so she lives that and believes it. Coby’s darkness is harder to understand but when he finally reveals the true source of his pain and devastation, well, it surprised me. He is a true strong dominate alpha male with a heart of gold that had been shattered. Brogan and Coby are drawn to each other’s darkness but neither believe they can have a long-term relationship. As these 2 risk themselves on a potential relationship, the human trafficking case comes front and center to push them both to their limits. As always, J.M. Walker delivers incredibly intense drama and suspense with support hot passion and sex. Brogan and Coby are beautifully broken which made this captivating to read as they worked to find a way out of the darkness, or just on a different path, to a brighter future.
Rude is a word I would use to describe Coby Porter, but there’s so much more to him than his rudeness. He’s loyal, fierce, dominating, and a little dangerous. 😉 Brogan has her faults as well, but the two of them have chemistry and there’s no point in denying that. I like how JM Walker weaves their lives together with Brogan being in a female MC club and Coby being in the military. It’s a different take on MC romance and it was refreshing. Even though this is book three and I haven’t read the previous two books, I didn’t feel lost in any kind of way. It is a standalone book. Someone is after the MC club and everyone is trying to figure out who. There is suspense, drama, action, and deliciously sexy scenes in this book that definitely make it a page-turner. One of my favorite things about the book is how Brogan and Coby both give each other exactly what they need, but still have doubts. They’re both extremely tough characters who are each other’s weaknesses and I love that! This book is dark and gritty, but it’s what it should be. It takes you on a ride that you don’t want to get off of! Loved it!
Great writing on J.M.’s book. There were some really sick people in this book. There is a lot of drama and u always look for a happily every after, but in these books that’s not the case.
