This Sex and Bullets series really is intoxicating! I love the mix of action and romance, it’s one of my favorite combinations. This book had so much of both!
Hawk got himself in one of the craziest situations, and the way he handled it was quite entertaining. He really knew how to make life hard for himself. Then we have Layla, miss Hot Body. She was a great addition to this book! The interactions between her and Hawk were intoxicating. The chemistry these two have is insane, and they both have this insane need to protect each other. There were great twists and turns, and lots of things I didn’t expect. Jo did a great job of keeping us on our toes the whole time. Another thing I loved about this book is how we saw more insight to the lives of the Storm & Raylin.
I can’t wait to see where Jo takes us next!!
Layla and Hawk are back in the full length and it’s action packed and a high octane excitement. These two have been circling each other for a while now things have finally come to a head.

Sex and Bullets: Sacrifice and Surrender
Wow! What a ride! Hawk’s book sucks you in right from the start and doesn’t let go until you’re a quivering mess! Hawk–the cocky, clever rich boy with the weight of the world on his shoulders after finding out about his shady parents, and Layla, the sweet, but feisty and brave girl who has an awakening of her own about her father–what a pair these two make! When Hawk sacrifices himself to right some wrongs, Layla stumbles into his dangerous world, but refuses to let him go down alone. She may not be able to shoot a gun like Storm’s Raylin, but darn it if the girl doesn’t have her own badass talents! Just like Book 1 of this Sex and Bullets Series, Hawk and Layla’s story is packed with lots of danger and hot sex! I’m still loving the chemistry between the hero and heroine, and I freakin’ love the strong bond between Hawk, Storm, and Rook. Awesome story!
Amazing! 5 Super Sexy, I’m so damn jealous Stars!!!
And a Hell Yeah goes out to my girl Jo Raven!
I don’t know how to put into words how excited I get when Jo releases a book. I really don’t! And her latest, “Candy Boys” was absolutely amazing! I chewed off four finger nails reading this one. Hot damn!! I have never been disappointed in one of her books, ever!
“Candy Boys” is a spin off from “Micah” her Damage Control series. If you haven’t read those, or anything else by Jo, you are seriously missing out. Let me say it now to all my friends….you must put this on your TBR and read it ASAP. I promise you won’t be disappointed! So as I started to say, this book features a MMF. Joel, Jethro (Jet) and Candy. The Blurb says a lot so I won’t repeat any of that.
Joel…Oh sweet, sexy Joel! He was beautiful. Inside and out. Loyal and caring, selfless and considerate. He put his own issues aside to be there for his friends. Joel appeared one way to people but he was so more more than the hot, sexy man all the girls lusted after. He was a beautiful and complex character. And Joe did a perfect job of developing his character. Not only was I in love, I was so proud of him. God, why can’t these men be real!?
Jet….He was even more complex than Joel but no less in personality or looks. This man would do anything for you should you be lucky enough for him to call you “friend.” Yeah, I’d like to call him more. 🙂 Jet had issues as well as Joel, however his were darker. Sorry I want to, but I can’t say more. This is one story that the slightest spoiler will ruin it for you. Trust me on this!
Candy…What a funny, funny girl. She was well developed but not as complex. She was the light to the dark. I laughed aloud many times because of her. Some of the things she said were damn funny. And her mom…don’t even let me go there! There were many funny moments (as well as heartbreaking) in this book. Candy, as you know from the Blurb has lusted after Joel and Jet for years and never thought she would ever meet them. And if she believed she would ever be lucky enough to actually come face to face with them; you can be sure she never expected that they would want her too. And when they were together, nothing was like she thought. Not in her wildest fantasies could she have imagined the real Joel and Jet.
Although there were many things to laugh about, there was a suspense in the background that kept me on my toes. There were parts of this story that were lighthearted and fun but there were some sad and dark ones too. Jo Raven did a spectacular job with balancing all the many emotions floating around. Jo’s writing is something that has appealed to me from her first novel. And I have read them all, with several re-reads. She always brings out all the “feels” in me. Her stories are not popcorn and bubblegum. They are tense, emotional, exciting, and sexy with the perfect amount of angst. Her novels all have HEAs. And I can assure you with those HEAs come relief and complete satisfaction for me as a reader.
So I will repeat myself, please do yourself a favor and add this book. I promise if your are not a fan of Jo’s, you soon will be.
Two more book boyfriends to add to my list!!
I should say read Caught first so you have the details surrounding Layla and Hawk before reading this one. Actually loved this one much more than Storm. I really liked the story, especially the relationship between Layla and Hawk. definitely two that maybe try to deny the attraction but can’t…. the way the author Jo writes, it just draws you in! I definitely am curious to read the next one in this series 🙂
