LAKENI was a fraud.Lying to cover my past.But when you’ve grown up in a world that has caused so much pain, you’d do almost anything to try and escape the guilt.For years I lived in hell, paying my dues.I had perfected a smile that no one could see through.Except for him.MYTHI was a fighter.It burned in my blood.It was something I couldn’t escape, and while other fighters were out to make money … escape, and while other fighters were out to make money and prove their worth, all I gave a damn about was the club and protecting the people I loved.
Seeing the spark in her eyes, I was instantly addicted. There was this chaos that whipped around her, it was beautiful and fierce, but I could tell it was used to keep people away.
When the heat of my anger radiated off me, she didn’t run, she stepped closer.
So I knew I had to use it to keep her warm.
The demons of her past are coming back for her.
And they’re about to realize she’s no longer standing alone.

I AM SO IN LOVE!!! Addison Jane is one of my all-time favorite authors and I am addicted to The Phoenix Club Girls! Myth and Laken’s story was so amazing! I was so excited when I started this book and it did not disappoint! From beginning to end the book is AMAZING!!! FIVE STARS!!
This has been one author on my radar with finally setting time aside to read one of her novels with being over joyed I did. This centers around Laken of course hence title and Myth. These two will take your soul as they see through each other to their souls. The mending you get to witness along with the story that unravels is one that will try and have you feeling a emotional twister. I had to do a back flip and read the first one then finished this one. I am so glad I did. I am also glad to have found another MC to dive into.
Laken is the second novel in The Phoenix Girl Diaries. The story is action-packed, intriquing, full of suspense, and so much more. We met Laken in the first book Kennedy, she is very loyal to Kennedy and her sister, but she always had the air of mystery surrounding her. So I was glad to read her story and find out what that was. From the moment Myth and Laken met they had a instant connection, a kinship. But they were both damaged, and hiding from their past, do they stand a chance together?
I liked seeing past characters. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
Laken has been through some terrible things in her life. She hides behind a wall to protect herself. Myth hasn’t had the greatest life in the past but he’s a warrior and will fight to protect his family and those he cares about like Laken. The two are a great match and the chemistry with them is off the charts. When Laken’s past catches up to her, will the couple be able to handle it? A great read and addition to the series.
First off, this BOOK-COVER, is deliciously sexy. Fanning myself. Thank you Ms Addison. Holy Hotness!
Laken and Myth take me back into the club girl diary world I love. This series is wonderful and I have been obsessed with each new book. Having said that, this one took me on its own unique ride.
Angsty, sexy, intriguing, describe this story which, truthfully, I expect from this author. She is queen of intense and often dark MC worlds. Color me surprised though on all that comes to light as you delve deeper into this book. Yes, I might have said “no way” out loud several times as I continued to read. Eek.
A big bonus is we get to revisit several characters from this series. It is beautiful and feels like going home again. So good. Happy Reading Everyone.
Laken is the second title in the Phoenix Club Girl Diaries. This is a story of overcoming your past, that is full of intrigue, suspense, danger, action and passion.
The Brothers By Blood MC has a blend of unique, yet dysfunctional characters who blend together seamlessly to make for a captivating and engaging read. These characters are realistic and flawed, and this makes them all the more relatable.
Laken’s story is confronting and she has endured her fair share of pain and heartache, but it doesn’t keep her down. She’s incredibly strong, resilient and big hearted. This heroine is protective, loyal, caring and compassionate, and has a tendency to put others needs before her own, even if it’s to her own detriment.
Myth is a unique and enigmatic character. He’s a badass alpha fighter, and loyal to the core. He’s incredibly protective not afraid to stand up for what he wants and for those he cares for most. He logical and methodical, but also has a soft, compassionate and loving side that he only shares with those closest to him.
I love that so many past characters made cameo appearances within this title, in particular it was great to catch up with Meyah, Shake, Kennedy and Repo.
I highly recommend Laken if love a fast paced, and unique take on an MC romance, and highly recommend reading any and or all of Addison Jane’s work, once you start you wont want to stop. I will be eagerly awaiting Addison’s next release.
Can I give this book 10 stars?
Laken has been hiding so long she doesn’t know how to take those walls down anymore. She can’t let anyone know who she really is, no matter how much Myth makes her want to. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself?
OH! MY! GAWD!!!! This book is AH-MAZ-ING!!! I was hooked from the first chapter. So much suspense. So much passion. So much mystery. I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time. Laken and Myth’s journey was like nothing I’ve ever read before. I hung on every impeccably delicious word. An absolute MUST READ!!!
This is the 2nd book in this awesome series and is Myth and Lakens’ journey. These two are broken due to their pasts which has just made them stronger in life and they are perfect together. This is a beautifully written story which is filled with action, suspense, twists, passion, and love which all leads to a steamy and riveting read. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I highly recommend for all.
“I should have walked away. No, I should have run. But I was fucking lost. Lost in him. Lost in the way he made me feel. Or maybe I wasn’t lost at all, and after so long fucking running, maybe this was what it felt like to be found.”
From beginning to end I was hooked on Myth and Laken’s story; these two had an instant connection and like magnets they were just drawn to each other. ALL THE FEELS! There are so many layers to this story, so many things happening… all the twists and turns, action, family drama, friendships, catch ups with some of our favs, & all the swoon…. AND throw in some sneaky breadcrumbs of what’s to come next (that I am 150% here for! ) I simply could not put this book down.
Honestly, The Club Girl Diaries is one of my absolute favorite MC reads & Addison Jane did not disappoint with Book Two in The Phoenix Club Girl Series! Just SO SO GOOD!
You never know what someone’s life is like until you live in their shoes. Laken has had it so bad, she wanted to take her own life. Luckily, her friend Kennedy sent Repo to find her and bring her to the club. That’s how she meets Myth, a fighter, with his own demons. Danger, heat and surprises. HEA but more to come.
See Goodreads review
I read both Kennedy and Laken’s stories back to back as my intro to Addison Jane. I can’t say that I love everything about the author’s style of writing, but both the stories were solid AND they intrigued me enough to go back to the beginning with Harmony’s story. I was not only intrigued to find out about the MC, but also the connections it had in the world (if you’re lost by this statement then you’re just gonna have to jump right in like I did and find out what I’m talking about LOL)
From my perspective, LAKEN is not a standalone. I do not recommend you start with this book. You should really read Kennedy’s story first in order to get a full picture of the how/when/etc thing to Laken’s history/background. I mean it isn’t a duet or anything, but the stories go together. You’re going to have to trust me on this.
Now that I’ve read a few of the other books by this author I can tell you that if you’re a fan of the author, she’s done you proud with this new series. Addison Jane is consistent. Her story-lines are … enormous, not over-the-top, but grandiose for sure. Her books are also very inclusive so the club’s ARC will follow thru each book along with the spotlight member going after their HEA. Laken’s story did not disappoint in any of these traits. To be honest, the story didn’t disappoint in much of anything. There are random plot points that still baffle me and left me wondering why in they heck they were even in the book, but I’m beginning to see (from going back to the beginning with the previous series) this might actually be part of the author’s charm LOL
This turned out to be a really great experience for me as a reader. I love to read MC romance fiction and this author has written a good MC series from the perspective of the club girls and not the actual members. I’m sure there are others out there like this, but it isn’t the norm, so for me, it’s impressive and new and unique.
The second book in the Phoenix Club Girl Diaries will take you on a journey of two scarred souls who will find the calm within the storm in each others arms. Laken and Myth’s story is gritty, raw and action packed. Two people who are linked by a past and must fight their way out to finally move forward. Myth is a character that owned my heart and had me captivated right from the start. Their story is full of twists, turns and surprises that will keep you on the edge of your seat. As you take the ride with these two, your anxiety levels will soar, your pulse will race but ultimately you will fall in love right along with these two as the passion and heat that repairs their souls takes hold.
