“I want to erase that pain I saw on his face. I want to do it for him…as bad as I always wanted someone to do it for me.”
Inhaled in one sitting, I knew this one would throw me for a complete loop, and I wasn’t disappointed. Diesel was a colossal you-know-what from get, but it’s completely understandable given his past with women and his love for his son, but you get peeks of what he could be should he decide to trust the right woman. Both Diesel and Rory are broken, hiding from ghosts of the past, each not looking or wanting love, but powerless to fight the pull between them. Ridiculously hot, banter that ignited my happy, and twists for days, all ending in an explosive KABOOM that will leave you panting and wanting more!! If you’re not afraid of a well done cliffy, inhale this one now and make sure you pre-order the next, because what was revealed needs to be uncovered by this reader ASAP!! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!

Wow oh wow, Diesel completely knocked my socks off. Again Jordan Marie has delivered an unmistakable page turner that will satisfy your craving for more of the Savage Brothers MC.
Diesel, holy hotness in a man bun! Having been burned in the past by women, Diesel is closing himself off from the world, all he wants to do is protect his son, Ryan is his priority. Diesel has made major changes and sacrifices in his life to keep his son safe.
Rory is infatuated with her new neighbour. The tall, built beautiful man with long dirty blonde hair intrudes on her nightly and this just infuriates her all the more. He doesn’t know her so how dare he speak to her so rudely when all she was doing was introducing herself to him and his son, and the fact that he invades her thoughts is driving her mad. All kinds of a-hole! She left behind plenty of those she is not looking to get involved with another.
Diesel believes he must segregate his son from all women, he doesn’t trust any of them, his suspicions come from deep rooted hurt and betrayal in his past. It is unfair the way he treats Rory but he cannot help his reaction. The red haired neighbour and her freckles are working under his skin, she doesn’t react how he would expect to his attitude which intrigues him especially when her learns how thin his walls are lol.
These two severely butted heads in the beginning. Diesel’s opinion of women based on his past was a huge mountain for Rory to climb, and she refuses to be treated like she is less than nothing, she has felt like that her whole life and is saying no more. It is no wonder these two have a intensely strong attraction to one another.
The event that unfold in this story had my jaw hitting the floor. The suspense just built and built until it just exploded in an epic climax that left me shocked and screaming for the book not to be finished . To say that December cannot get her fast enough is an understatement! Part one of the Love/War Duet is not to be missed!
This is such an amazing ride! I love getting to dig deeper into Diesel, his moody protectiveness, his amazing heart and love for Ryan and those close to him. He can be a bit frustrating but it’s understandable. Oh Rory… I’m so loving her! Her strength and her spice. My heart twisted for them both as I wiped tears. Theirs is a story of connection, fire and pain. I’m at the edge of my seat. Rory can’t get here soon enough!
I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Oh my damn!!! Oh my damn!! Jordan Marie done it again. What did she do, well she outdid herself. I hate to say it, but Rory and Diesel is the best work so far. The way Jordan Marie writes makes me believe she’s my sista from another mista. She brings the passion, betrayal, killing, and revenge with each book. This book is so hot, it should come with a warning label. This book got me from page one until the end. It’s a roller coaster and has twist and turns, but I believe Jordan will make it right. It’s told in different pov’s, no cheating, but does end in a cliffy. Hopefully in Rory we will get our hea. My girl Rory deserves it and Diesel sure needs it. I highly recommend this book.
Oh my this book is epic!! Diesel can’t trust his club and the women in his life have burned him and burned him good. So he packs up his son and moves away from Tennessee. Rory is finally established and has a good life and doesn’t constantly look of her shoulder. When a big, sexy man and his son move into the duplex next to hers she is intrigued, but when he warned her to stay away from his son she thinks he’s a grade-A prick.
Both Diesel and Rory are running from demons from their past. Diesel is thawing towards Rory but in the back of his mind he’s always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Rory can’t be that perfect, she is sweet and loving and cares about everyone but she is hiding a big secret. When Rory’s past catches up with her it affects Diesel in a major way. I will stop there because I don’t want to give anything away, you just have to read the book. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the continuation of Diesel and Rory’s story!!!
I’ve been dying for Diesels story and it turned out to be so much more than I was expecting. Diesel will do anything to keep his son safe even if that means leaving his club and heading off on his own. The one thing you can’t take away from him is his love for his son and that’s what made me love him. But he’s a very complex, complicated man and he had me back and forth over whether I loved him or hated him. If he wasn’t frustrating me he was making me fall madly in lust with him. For a jerk he can be surprisingly sweet at times. Unfortunately Diesel is working through some serious deeply rooted trust issues and that does not help with his attitude at all. Lashing out repeatedly at his neighbour Rory made me really dislike Diesel. Even understanding why he reacts the way he does, it’s still not a good enough excuse and there were times I really wanted to punch him in the nuts for the way he treated her.
Rory has a past of her own but she’s not grumpy or closed off like her new neighbour. Rory won me over really quickly. There’s nothing about her I didn’t like and even though I got frustrated with the slack she cuts Diesel I can’t honestly say I wouldn’t do the same as Rory.
This book has a little of everything. There’s plenty of chemistry, it’s got a troubled bad boy that you won’t know whether to love or hate and a woman that’s easy to relate to. Throw in an adorable little boy and a story that takes an unexpected turn and you have a book that will have you hooked. Without a doubt my favourite book by Jordan Marie and I can’t wait for more.
Oh man. So I woke up at 2 am and read this book ALL NIGHT. It was edge of your seat amazing. Who can resist a man who loves his son more than anything? Not this girl. Who can resist Diesel when he starts having feelings for Rory. It should be a happily ever after. And Then, then, then… you have to read and find out.
Five stars.
I’m going to keep this as vague as possible, mostly because the evil side of me wants everyone to experience what I did. Ho…ly…CRAP! I’m still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor while I cry in the corner about needing the next book now! Jordan Marie certainly knows how to rip your heart out and make you beg for more. Diesel is a book I did not see coming and even knowing it’s a duet did not prepare me for how much I need more of their story. Like desperately need more. Now. Quickly. I’m hooked and I need my Diesel and Rory fix!
Trust me when I tell you you’re going to love these two. The feels are extreme and the story is absolutely captivating. If you’re a fan of Kristen Ashley’s bikers you are going to LOVE Diesel! While being completely unique he hit me the exact same way hers do and I was loooooving it! There is so much between him and Rory it’s impossible not to adore them. Instant heat, insanely hot chemistry, and some deep emotions all build to something you know is going to be great. This is the start of a duet you do not want to miss!
DIESEL AND RORY HAVE MORE BAGGAGE THAN A FAMILY ON VACATION
DIESEL (SAVAGE BROTHERS MC-TN CHAPT
Apple Books (iBooks) Review Posted: Not Listed in Apple Books
Even though Jordan Marie hasn’t written a book with which I haven’t fallen in love yet….I was in love with DIESEL as soon as I saw this book cover…She always gives us hot book covers, but DIESEL is a scorcher, on the cover and inside the pages….and I was more than ready to read this book….
As I usually do, I read DEVIL, Book 1 of this spinoff series, again, before I started DIESEL…It just always refreshes the story and characters in my mind…And I am so glad I did….I really had forgotten how much I loved Devil and Torrent….and it reminded me of who Diesel was…
Although Diesel and and his next door neighbor, Rory, get off to a rocky start, they are, absolutely, perfect for each other if, only, they can put some of their baggage away (even if that baggage is 100% valid and understandable, and, I promise, it is)and learn to trust the opposite sex in general and, specifically, each other…That proves almost impossible at some points of this book, when I felt like I was riding a rollercoaster….. Obviously, DIESEL has a cliffhanger at the end, but RORY is releasing December 11th….
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DIESEL AND, THEN, RORY….. I read DIESEL straight through, and I have no doubt, RORY will be the same…..These characters are complex with major trust issues and Diesel, especially, is (possibly bipolar), in desperate need of therapy to live a long and happy life with Rory, and I can promise that’s what we all want to happen….
“Some blows don’t have to be physical to destroy you, Noah. I told you that once, don’t you remember? Words are venom, a poison that destroys you from the inside out.”
Way to slay me Jordan Marie. First the #CoverLust and then… #MindFuckAlert. This story had me from the first page and I’ve struggled with every interference that has kept me from my Kindle since. Diesel has accompanied me to a doctor’s appointment, an oil change, the beauty shop, and the grocery store. Yes, if you were watching you would have seen me snicker, snort, curse, blush and sigh. I tried to turn away from the old man that might have been trying to read over my shoulder. I didn’t want to be responsible for his heart palpitations.
I met Rory first and she intrigued me immediately. I knew she was running from something, but I didn’t know what. I was witness to her first sighting of Diesel, and I was nodding my head. “And I am staring. I couldn’t keep from it if I wanted to. I don’t know a woman alive that could. He’s that pretty.” Note: Refer to book cover, change panties, and continue reading.
Not surprising, Diesel is an asshole. He’s rude and bossy and insulting. He made me want to hate him just to support my girl who’s head I’d spent time in, right? Well, maybe I did for a minute. But it’s like appreciating a fine piece of art in a gallery. Sometimes it just draws you in and you can’t look away. I was hoping the sparks flying between them would ignite and I’d get a good seat to watch. I’m not ashamed to be a voyeur.
And then… BOOM! What does that mean? I’m not telling you. You deserve to enjoy having your mind blown just as much as I did. Just gather your supplies, buckle your seatbelt, and prepare for the ride, hopefully, somewhere you won’t be interrupted. I think I’ll just keep my seatbelt on until Rory is released so I don’t waste a second picking up where Diesel left off. The line forms here…
Noah and Rory’s story lift my head spinning. I’m not going to say much about the story, just that Jordan you are amazing. now I’m wait very patiently for Rory to come out so I can see if Noah can open his heart again.
There are not enough words to say how much I loved this book. It’s just another example why Jordan is my MC Queen.
This is the Genre where she shines brightest for me. I fall in love with her words every damn time and I adore her for that.
Rory and Diesel both have secrets both running from something but end up in exactly the same place.
I swear all the back and forth between them gave me whiplash. It’s like one step forward ten steps back.
There’s no denying the connection between them it’s electric I could seriously feel it sizzling.
It was fun watching them fight it, I love to see a Biker snap and loose control over a woman.
Diesel, Rory along with little Ryan will sweep you off your feet and melt your heart.
A fantastic first part to a Duet. I’m desperate for the next part because that ending left me feeling dizzy.
I do love a good cliffhanger, keeps me eager for more.
Diesel, Noah, Prez, and more. It’s how many faces HE has. But which one does Rory need ?? Diesel, the motorcycle ridin, son-loving, protector? Noah, the man who’s making sure his son is safe, above all else, even her? or is he Prez, the man in charge of a motorcyle crew of strong, protective, honey-lovin, missfits? She will need ALL of them before this story finally winds down. Diesel may be #2 in the Tennessee series but there MAY be more to come?? There’s BIG twists and turns to this story so please make sure your helmet is on nice and tight and your leathers are up to date. You’ll need them foh shur!!! Ms. Jordan is her best when she’s keeping us on our toes and this is NO exception. Get ready …. the ending may get ya.
Diesel is extremely protective, the ultimate sexy alpha, making changes in his protect his son, never thought on meeting a sassy red head, who happens to be his new neighbor….
From the first page, you are pulled in… then intrigue, then swooning, then WHAT THE!! and OMG DID THAT JUST HAPPENED!!! And needing more!!!
So excited for the next one!!! Waiting so patiently for the next book, this book left me speechless!!!
Jordan Marie broke me with this book. My heart shattered and left speechless for days. I’m still not sure if I can put words together to describe how amazing this book is. If I could, I would give Diesel a million stars, that’s how much I loved this book!
Diesel and Rory have great chemistry when they aren’t spending their time pushing the other away. When I think they will stop pushing each other, something always happens.
I can’t wait for Rory! December is so far away. I keep running different scenarios in my head. I NEED to know what happens next!
Diesel is damaged. Rory is damaged. Together they could be healed or could they? The plot twists and turns defy gravity. This rollercoaster ride will leave you breathless. I’ve laughed and cried my way through this book, through this series.
Jordan Marie is a master storyteller. Jordan says her characters talk to her. I believe her; they talk to me. I love her stories and her characters. There is a cliffhanger but the Rory and Diesel made her do it. The good news is the next book in the series, Rory, is now available at all the usual retailers. Thank you Jordan Marie for sharing your incredible stories with us.
A fabulous fantastic ride of an emotional rollercoaster at its best.
The story, the characters and the glue between everything, attraction and refusal between everyone especially of Diesel and Rory was so deep and true, traceable and genuine – breathtaking beautiful.
The story has captured me, taken me with it, sunk, almost drowned, but also wonderfully caught me and led me into the light.
Jordan Marie delivered an indescribably awesome story and is more than okay that it needed two book for each of the two outstanding unique characters.
A 5 sparkling star rating plus many shooting stars
Don’t miss part two —> Rory
This book had all my emotions all over the place. And it made me want to scream and cry. It had everything I wanted, and more.
Jordan Marie did amazing job with this book, and I can’t wait to read more.
Two years ago Diesel was betrayed by two women in an attempt to grab his son Ryan and now there is nothing he will not do to protect him. He moves to a small town, Whitefish, and becomes Noah and leaves the MC behind.
Rory McDaniels hopes she has finally escaped her past and her brother, Tony. Yet when her new broody next door neighbor moves in she sees that the peace she found may be disappearing.
When he pasts of both Rory and Noah come to Whitefish will they be able to put aside their differences and come together?
This book was so good and so intense!!!
I loved Rory and thought she was such an awesome character. I totally understood why she needed to run once she was found by her “ex” and then she knew her brother would be close behind him. There was a lot of mystery surrounding everything but I liked how it all played out and what we were able to learn about Rory and her past.
Diesel himself was intense and you knew there was nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Ryan. You saw what was done to Violet and knew that Ryan would be guarded at all costs although I did wonder why he was isolating himself so much by leaving the protection of his club.
The twist with Rory towards the middle of the book was completely shocking and Diesel’s reaction was even more so!! I was so heartbroken over the things he said to Rory and what he did.
The end was absolutely incredible yet at the same time my jaw hit the ground in shock and I am totally freaked out about how it all ended. I am completely scared about the ending and am wondering what the heck is real!!!
Can’t wait for the next one!!!
I started this book last night and didn’t put it down until I finished it! Needless to say I’m exhausted this morning lol.
We all know Diesel left the MC and went into hiding with his son after several abduction attempts. Rory has finally stopped running which puts her directly in Diesel’s path. Walls are high with both of them. But there’s something about Rory that gets to Diesel and the walls crumble. Ghosts of the past are everywhere feeding into their separate fears. One single statement is said that turns their world apart. Words are said that extinguish the spark in Rory’s eye and her trust in Diesel. Little do Rory and Diesel know that they are just puppets and the puppet master is the one pulling the strings, but they’re about to find out. But it might be too late for all of them, we can only wait until December to find out!!
