Omg so good did not want this book to end got smut in right places and story flows really well
So many emotions. Jayne Rylon has done it again. Joy Ride is everything you want in a book and more. The character are so indepth that you get in their heads. Not that you don’t want to slap Walker upside his head, you can understand his view of himself. Raised to take over for his father of head of a MC. Not something he ever planned to do. Dane is his best friend and lover, and has plenty of issues of his own. Now that they are away from that life, trying to move on with the help of the Hot Rides crew, they just might be ok except they left behind the love of their life. Until Joy showed up at the sho with a little surprise for them. The book was fantastic, plenty of hot sexy times, and and ending the the threesome deserve. And hopefully the beginnings of another book.
Joy Rides has all the things that make a fantastic romance novel
1) two hot bikers
2) one feisty heroine
3) tons of hot sex
and did I mention hot sex.
This MMF menage is a second chance, surprise baby trope with a HEA that will make you melt.
Omg. Jayne Rylon did it again! This book is off the freaking charts!!! I didn’t want it to end. It’s steamy and emotional and everything in between. It definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat because you don’t know what’s gonna happen next or who is going to show up. Holy hell! The chemistry between Dane and Walker was out of this world and then you add Joy to it and there just isn’t words to explain what it makes you feel. I can’t wait for the next one. I need it now!!!
This is a good one.It pulls all the emotions out of me. Walker, Dane, and Joy’s past is hard to digest sometimes. No one should have to go through what they had especially Joy. My heart broke for her. Fate though is giving them a second chance of a happy future. Problem will they get in the way of that happiness? When Joy arrives in Middleton that is one of my favorite moments in the book. Seeing the gang taking her under their wing made my heart so happy. It has it’s gasping moments when the past rears its ugly head and tries to put a wrench into everything. This is one of my favorites in the series so far. I was sucked into the book right from the beginning. I was so invested in these characters. I wanted them to get their HEA so bad.
Walker and Dane can see that a menage relationship works. The proof is all around them but do they have the courage to go after who they want? Joy wants Walker and Dane but she doesn’t trust them. So when their past rears its ugly head will Walker and Dane protect Joy plus one?
I really enjoyed getting to know Walker and Dane better in Joy Ride by Jayne Rylon. That is not to say I didn’t want to knock them both upside the head. They were stuck in the past and unable to see the present and the possibilities of a future. Walker was so sure Dane and Joy would be better without him. Dane wanted Walker to see to all his needs. And Joy just wanted Walker and Dane to be there. I love that their friends were determined to show them the possibilities. They would and could help them survive the evil that is Walker’s father. But first they must trust themselves so that they could trust their friends. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Walker, Dane and Joy navigate a future together. I love that Ms. Rylon did not make it in any way easy. Walker, Dane and Joy need to learn trust and communication. Failure would not be an option if they wanted it all. And I loved seeing them fight to have it.
This is the fourth book in the Powertools: Hot Rides series. It is a contemporary MMF ménage romance. This book was set up in the last story in the series, so I knew ahead that a baby was involved. I didn’t know that the characters would have such a difficult time figuring out their issues. The characters are well developed; the pace of the story was great, it was hard to put down. Though this is the fourth in the series, it can definitely be read as a stand alone book.
Hard Ride is the fourth book in the series Powertools: Hot Rides. This story features Joy, Walker, and Dane. We met Walker and Dane is the previous book, so I couldn’t wait for their story!
Joy needed to get away from a dangerous situation, so she showed up at Hot Rides with her baby, Arden, in her arms. Joy is in love with Walker and Dane, but they previously walked away from her, due to a related dangerous situation. They all have a shared history, but Joy is unsure of her welcome – neither man knew she was pregnant.
Walker and Dane have just started a new life and job with Hot Rides, but their old life resurfaces when Joy and Arden show up. Walker and Dane are in love with Joy, and each other, but they first have to take care of the threat to their future happiness. They also need to find a way for the three of them and their daughter to move forward as a family.
I have not read the previously published Powertools and Hot Rods series, but as some of those characters were introduced in this story, I didn’t feel lost. We also get to visit with the characters from the previous books in this series.
I enjoyed every moment I spent reading this story! The scenes between Joy, Walker, and Dane were hot, emotional, and sometimes painful. This book has everything: love, romance, angst, laughter, pain, tears, and even a villain on the way to a HEA. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!!
I was lucky enough to get a copy of this book from BookFunnel and I voluntarily chose to review it. I found it to be a quick read for me. It is well written. The characters were realistic. I loved seeing some of the same secondary characters show back up in this book. This is the fourth book in this series and I have found all of them awesome. I encourage everyone to get this book and the other three. Please remember this is a Ménage story so if that isn’t to your liking don’t get this book.
This is Book 4 in the Hot Rides series. This is a ménage so don’t say you weren’t warned! Walker and Dane left Joy but she’s back with a surprise. I’m not sure but I think this is my favorite of the books so far. The raw emotions that exist in the book will just tear you up as you read it. These 3 people have so much to work through as they try to figure out whether they can be a family or not. You meet up with the rest of the Hot Rides group as they try to help Walker, Dane and Joy. They had a lot of growing up to do when the book started but I think it was accomplished by the end. Just get ready for a rough ride when you start reading it. But you will enjoy the ride in this book from the beginning to the end. I don’t know if the next book can get close to how I felt about this one
I always enjoy Jayne Rylon’s stories. It has a small town feel where characters are interconnected between companies (series) so it always feels like visiting an old friend.
JOY RIDE is no different – it is classic Jayne Rylon:
1. Poly Relationships
2. MM/MMF – everyone is comfortable with who they are
3. HOT HOT HOT schmexy scenes
4. World Building – There is always a vision for something new
5. Revisiting – We get to see the rest of the POWERTOOLS FAMILY and see how they are doing
6. Angst – there is enough angst to know that somethings are just not meant to come easy – they have to be worked for
This is an author I always recommend.
One of the things I love about these series is how people in the established relationships mentor the newbies in their relationships. That kind of caring is key for them, especially since (like in this story) many of them have poor parent examples. In “Joy Ride”, Joy is a fairly clueless mom with good intentions who get the positive support she needs in that role from the women who are members of the Hot Rides/Rods family. Walker and Dane get guidance from the men. That works really well in these series, and keeps some of our favorite characters from the previous books around so we can see how their lives continue to develop.
Joy, Walker and Dane have had a hard road. Growing up in a MC environment and not learning how to communicate well had made life even more difficult for them. I love that Walker and Dane’s relationship keeps them together, and how Joy completes them. Sexy times are sometimes pretty emotional, and I love how bossy Walker is! Arden is a cute baby bonus. We’ll see how the series continues to develop!
I read this as an ARC and chose to review the book.
If you know me, you know I especially love three romance book tropes: second-chance romance, ménage and falling for the best-friend’s little sister. And when the three combine in one book, I am in heaven.
And that’s where I stayed while devouring Joy Ride. I absolutely loved the romance between Joy, Walker, and Dane. Their dynamic is powerful, loyal, loving, intense and sexy AF. I wanted to know each of them as individuals and as they embarked on their polyamorous relationship.
Dane and Walker have been best friend’s since they were kids. Joy’s mother married Walker’s MC outlaw father when they were in their early teens. And while Dane and Walker managed to escape the clutches of the MC, Joy wasn’t so lucky.
Until she finally found out where Walker and Dane lived and worked. And showed up on their doorstep one day, tired, hungry, scared and holding a perfect, gorgeous newborn baby girl in her arms.
The relationship between these three has never been simple or easy. And it wasn’t going to start now. However, I loved how Dane and Joy somehow got Walker to see that they were all better off together—safer, loved and deserving of happiness.
Add in the wonderful Hot Rods, Hot Rides and Powertools, and Joy, Walker, Dane and the baby now know unconditional love and protection. And finally get their HEA.
I can’t wait for the next one—Seven, Levi, and Ransom’s story in Rough Ride. Is it January yet?
Just when I thought this series couldn’t get any better, we get Walker & Dane’s story. You can tell they have a deep bond from the moment you met them you just didn’t realize how deep until now. Once Joy shows up with her daughter in tow their lives are forever changed. Dane & Walker both have to struggle with what happened with Joy in the past that led to her showing up unannounced on their doorstep with trouble right behind her. The question is can they overcome the mistakes they made both real and imagined and have the one person they both want more than anyone or will they let old hurts and opinions get in the way. Can their new Hot Rides/Hot Rods family help them see what is right in front of them before it is too late? I can’t wait for the next book and to see where this wonderful extended family goes from here.
Dane, Joy and Walker’s lives have been interconnected for quite some time. Walker is the son of the head of an MC. Dane is Walker‘s best friend and the two of them have been through thick and thin together. Joy was brought into the MC life via her mother’s marriage to Walker’s father. Being in the world of an MC you can only imagine what what they have seen and experienced.
Joy, Walker and Dane started the motions of things bigger than them all years ago. Love is something that if you try to understand it just confuses yourself more. Walker is all alpha, dominant and hard, yet questions if they way he loves is right. Joy has the strength of ten men and the scars to prove it. Joy wants to be free and she’s determined to take her freedom. Dane is almost broke, emotionally. The things he wants are within arm reach and can’t quite have them. Walker and Dane walk away from a life and Joy thinking its the best move. However starting over is not starting over without her.
Joy Ride is deep, touching on the darker side, highly emotional and possibly a bit taboo. Joy, Dane and Walker each hit me emotionally in a different way. Have to admit I was not ready for that. There’s some pretty got wrenching moments done in the form of flashback that truly make the reader feel what the character is going through. Joy Ride is a darker and complex story that has quite a few jaw-dropping moments. The intimacy between Joy, Walker and Dane is builds throughout the story creating an ironclad bond that takes their relationship to a completely different level. They have their ups and downs but in the end they find their way.
From the first few lines, this story just grabs you, you want to continue reading until you’ve turned the last page. The Hot Rides characters and their storylines just keep getting better and better and boy do they also pull at your heartstrings.
Walker, Dane and Joy have known each other for some time and began to have feelings for each other, one night they give in to passion. For reasons, they take off the next day. Fast forward nine months and she walks back into their lives with a surprise that will rock their world.
I felt so much for these characters, each was wanting the best for the other even if it meant leaving them behind. There was so much love but they didn’t know how to express it. The one way they could was with their bodies, Jayne Rylon, writes some wickedly hot sexy scenes. And one of my favorite parts is getting to catch up with the other characters from the Hot Rods and Powertools.
Another great Hot Rides story!
We met best friends, Walker and Dane in book 3, Hard Ride, but Joy Ride stands alone pretty well. You’ll miss a lot of hot stories though, if you don’t read the first 3 books.
I think I’ve seen someone else call Jayne Rylon the “queen of ménage” romance and I can’t disagree with that. I enjoy all types of ménage stories but MMF ones are among my favorites and she writes great ones.
The blurb tells you all you need to know about the story. The emotions run high in all three of the MCs (main characters). Walker and Dane are much more than just best friends. When the woman they both love, Joy, shows up carrying a baby they are speechless.
Joy doesn’t understand why Walker and Dane walked out and left her after the explosive night the three of them had together. She had to get away from her evil stepfather and when she had the chance to slip away, she came looking for them.
This book is packed with lots of emotion. Walker and Dane both feel they’ve let Joy down in the past and aren’t good enough for her. They enjoy the relationship they have with each other but know that Joy is the missing link between them.
Joy Ride is really hot, just like the others in this series and it’s a complete story with Walker, Dane and Joy getting their HEA. The last couple of chapters help set up the next book in the series, Rough Ride, and I can’t wait to read it.
An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
Whew what a ride! Explosive, intriguing with secrets to be revealed and more stories to begin. Walker, Dane and Joy are one hot trio. Jayne really knows how to bring you into a crazy world that you get lost in. I love the gang is always around to help. I thought the beginning when Walker and Dane got together was hot but hot dang the scene where they are 3 of them are together..I admit to reading that twice.
Joy was one of the strongest heroines I’ve read. She had so much happen to her but she fought and fought and fought. I love that Jayne has a way of bringing out the best in everyone and they can finally “find” themselves and be themselves fully.
I loved this sexy polyamorous romance. The book blurb is very accurate and I really felt for Joy. She was hurt very badly by the men she cared for most. They deserted her twice, once to join the military years ago, and then again less than a year ago, leaving her alone and pregnant. When they are reunited, both Walker and Dane send her mixed signals, (mostly due to their fears of being unworthy of her) but never fear, the Hot Rides gang is there to sort them all out!
This series has wonderful characters who have formed themselves into a family by choice and they are always warm and welcoming to newcomers. The great writing and steamy, interesting storylines make for a great read. 4.5 stars.
I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.
Joy Ride….
Just when I think I’ve read the best by Ms. Rylon, she writes a story that tugs at all my emotions! Walker, Dane and Joy’s story is anything but a joy ride. These three have so much that they have to overcome to reach a HEA. Luckily, they have friends on their side to help them along. I’m voluntarily reviewing an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book but I loved it so much that I had to have a physical copy to hold in my greedy little hands!!
