You know what sucks? Cancer. Cancer sucks. Especially when it takes a young life. Like the life of my five year old son. You want to know what I have to say about that? Nothing. Absolutely nothing because I don’t have the drive anymore. There’s nothing left in me except emptiness. That much is obvious. I’ve lost my car, my career, and my apartment. At least I have my brother. Actually, I just … just have a place to stay because of my rich, single brother.
I’m struggling to find purpose again. After what life’s shown me it can do to a person, I really don’t care if I’m breathing anymore.
I am, but barely.
Then Jett Voss showed up and it’s like he’s an oxygen mask I don’t need or want.
She’s got no cares left in the world and I’m determined to resuscitate her heart.
It was a one-night stand that connected us. She only had one want that night, and I took care of it. I’m not stopping there though. I may have not known her before her heartbreak, but I know there’s life inside of her still.
I will find it.
That means I need to stick around town for a while. I guess I don’t have many other options. I’ve just been forced to run a company I never wanted and I’m a little bitter about it. The circumstances of why this fell into my lap makes it the hardest. Death is a cruel reality. My bike shop, occasionally the open road, not answering to anyone… this is the life I was living and wanted.
It’s insane what one look, one night, one person can change in you.

I have to say the cover is hot but…he isn’t my Jett. For the first time in my life, I pictured someone completely different. I pictured a growling Jason Momoa. Not sure why and he isn’t really my type, but couldn’t stop thinking of him as Jett. C’est la vie!
I was so worried that this book was going to be depressing. It’s not! Don’t get me wrong, it has its moments, but it’s about healing, moving on, and being happy!
It’s also about hot dude/dudette getting their sh!t together! Life is like a box of chocolates…you never know…
Lo had a rough life until she stopped living it. Now she exists in limbo. Still not a life but very much not dead…one little collision, okay, two and she may have just hit the right bump in the road.
Alright, corny lines will be abandoned as long as you realize that you should Own It…so one click now!
reviewed for Sweet Spot Sisterhood
If you love snarky banter, emotional backstory, real characters, and a well written, scorching hot story, look no further! Jett and Lo have their demons, and each brings their quirks to the table, but the attraction cannot be denied. I loved both of these characters for what they overcame, how they persevered, and how stinking hot they were together. I lost a weekend and don’t regret one minute! I look forward to more from these characters and thank the Author for providing a copy to voluntarily review!

5 “You’ve fucked the best, babe” Stars

I fell for Jett about as quickly as Lo fell for Jett. Well, maybe a bit quicker. And I was definitely quicker to own it (see what I did there?!) than Lo, but that’s neither here nor there.
Lo has been hurt–as many people have–but she’s been hurt in ways I’d never want to imagine or live through. She has lost more than most and she has been left with nothing more than a brother who wasn’t there for her.
Jett is dealing with loss and has never needed a woman for anything. So when Lo comes barreling into his life–quite by accident and quite literally–he didn’t see her coming. When they stumble into each other again, it must be fate. Or something like that.
Tonight is a ‘get to know you’ night…so tomorrow morning I can fuck her properly in my bed and not feel guilty about it.
I’m pretty sure I was already in love with Jett at this point. I’m easy so this isn’t a hard thing to do. But come on! He’s amazingly sweet and kind and he is willing to sacrifice his happiness for others.
“You hurt my feelings.”
“You have feelings?”
“I fucking do. One.”
Dauphin surprised me with this one. I’ve read some of her other stuff. She isn’t all hearts and glitter and rainbows. She’s been known to throw a dark and dirty curveball at you a time or two. So, to say that I waited for that shoe to drop throughout this entire book would be an understatement.
Good news: She doesn’t disappoint. There’s a curveball. And she threw it right at my heart. It hit that one feeling I have.
“So when I do this, you better not laugh at me.”
M.Piper never disappoints. She knows how to draw you into the book and fall in love with the characters, Own It was no exception. I felt every emotion while reading Lo and Jett’s journey on picking up the pieces. I can’t wait to read Chris’s story
