Overhearing her husband being blackmailed, Janie realizes nothing in her life is as it seems. She’s willing to ditch all she has, so she can gain everything she ever wanted. Fighting an ugly divorce, meeting and falling for Beast couldn’t happen at a … couldn’t happen at a worse time for Janie. Escaping her oppressive husband is her top priority, which means her infatuation with a biker must wait.
His world was wrenched cruelly away from him. David “Beast” Huntley’s trust has been violated, and being twice shy means he’s determined not to get involved with another woman. At least not seriously, and not any time soon. But Janie provokes something in him. His attraction to her gnaws at him, even though she’s mired in an ugly divorce with a sketchy politician. Staying away from her is in his best interest and his club’s.
When the president of rival MC blindsides and assaults Janie, Beast’s inner-beast is awakened. He cannot fight his attraction for her, no matter how wrong it might be.

Warning!!! This book will have you in its clutches and will not let go until you are done. If you are one of the few that can put it down then you will be thinking about it and dying to find out what comes next the whole time!!! This book is hella addicting and will suck you right in.
Beast and Janie don’t have an easy romance. She has a dirty as hell Politian for a soon to be ex that is going to make things harder than anyone realized and has experienced some major heartache . Beast doesn’t think she belongs and he isn’t shy in stating that and in not the nicest of ways to say the least. He has experienced his own heartache and once he opens himself up to Janie he is another MC badass that is alpha as hell and will do what it takes to protect what is his.
This book is raw, gritty and sexy as hell and it will be one that you won’t be able to get enough of!
I really loved the chemistry between Beast and Janie it was off the charts and I loved the sexual tension between them when they finally did have sex then they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. I loved their relationship.
One of my favourite scenes has to be when Janie finds out his real name and begins to call him David the shock on his face was just hilarious and the fact he soon figures out if it was Liar or Andrea that told her. I loved that scene it was just so playful and cute.

This was a great addition to the ongoing series. I really loved Beast in this story because I was having my doubts if I was going to like him at all and then when we saw he was attracted to Janie “well “, I thought this arrogant a** isn’t going to stand a chance with her and “boy”, was a wrong. Lol
I loved Janie even if she was not the typical socialite wife because that is what we loved about her the most as she made the perfect one but, she was so much more. We found Janie to be fun and determined, and we really saw her take charge of her life even after so many mishaps was getting in the way she stood strong and proud and made the best of it but, one thing for sure is that arrogant prick of a husband of hers didn’t know his women at all if he thought she was just going to take what he dished out lying down.
Beast was one of those characters that is all alpha all the time but, he has been learning to dial it back a bit if he wants to catch the girl and keep her because she is not the type any longer who will put up with a man lording over her. I loved his struggles with thinking he was not good enough for Janie when he was just the type of man she did need in and out of bed and “boy”, did these two have some awesome chemistry.
Overall we really enjoyed the story and although it was quite different from the other stories in this series and not as suspenseful this story had more of an interaction with the club old ladies and the other members, and we really loved that and by the end of the story there was no doubt in my mind the both Janie and Beast were destined to be soulmates as they made a wonderful couple.
We are so loving this series and the wonderful characters that it has.
Oh, how I adored Beast and Janie! For a man who treats Janie like she doesn’t belong (sometimes almost cruelly), Beast sure was quick to jump into action for the woman he kept swearing was trouble and not meant for him. As for Janie, she’s experienced some of the worst heartache a woman can, and she’s finally had enough and decides to change her fate. Of course, she’s not counting on a no-good soon-to-be-ex playing dirtier than dirty, the revelations that come her way, or a dangerously hot man named Beast coming into her life.
Beast and Janie had a bit of a rocky start, but I couldn’t stop reading because I HAD to find out where they went next. And trust me, I wasn’t disappointed! Their story was painfully real, honest, and proved just how hard a Riot MC man is willing to fight to keep the woman he never expected to love.
We got the low down on Janie and her problems in Andi and Liar’s story and a bit more in Trixie and Roll’s. Now it’s Janie’s turn to get a story and it is fabulous! Janie’s life has not been easy, the typical politician’s wife, lives her life for her husband sort of thing. When she needed him the most, he and his support were not there, talk about hypocritical. From that point, Janie was done and just wanted to get out of the marriage. Leaning on her friends also means leaning on the MC for a bit of help, even if she would like to not include the guys. Meeting Beast when she does is bad timing, but it seems like fate.
Beast has not had an easy time, his heart is broken so he moved to the Florida chapter to start over and heal his wounds. Meeting Janie is the last thing he wanted, he has no time for more drama and is not going to pull anyone into his at the same time either. But there is something about Janie that just calls to him, and even though he thinks its a bad idea, he just can’t seem to let her go.
This was such a good story! I have really enjoyed this series, with every book you get something different while at the same time getting everything that makes an amazing book; drama, danger, violence, and the hot naughty moments. I give this 5 stars.
Karen Renee is a new author for me and I have to say that she is an enjoyable one at that. Respectable Riot is the story of Jane Ramos – Palmer and David ‘Beast’ Huntley. Jane is living a lie, in a marriage with a political figure, abused, cheated on and full of broken dreams, she just wants to get out of her marriage after tragedy has struck and has no support from her slimy husband. She comes across Beast, a man whose world has already been turned upside down. He’s not ready for a new relationship but is intrigued by the flash fire feelings that he instantly feels for Jane, but their path to a HEA is not smooth sailing and is fraught with drama, twist and turns and the power from others who want to keep them apart.
This is quite an emotional read, mainly because both characters bring a lot of baggage to their relationship and there were often moments throughout the book where they had a will they/won’t they type of relationship. Jane was a strong character and really tried not to depend on anyone but herself and I think she was frustrated as I was with Beast’s mixed messages and trying to hook up with other women. That being said, Beast is certainly a strong, alpha male who had the rug swept out from under him, so you do understand why he is the way he is.
There are a lot of characters in this book which add to the story and also leaves you intrigued to find out what has happened to them. You also get a great sense of brotherhood/sisterhood between all of the characters. This MC is certainly full of alpha males who all seem to have each other’s back and show that blood doesn’t necessarily make family. Also, Roman = hot!
This is a steamy, intense read which fits into the MC genre really comfortably. It has enough drama to keep you hooked and main characters who are strong together as well as independently. A really good read!
ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review

This is the 6th book in this phenomenal series and what a great addition this novel is to the series. This is Jane and Beast’s story, and what an intricate tale this is. This is a well written story and this talented author had done a great job in penning this riveting tale, which is filled with angst, twists and love. I was intrigued throughout and highly recommend for all.
This story kept me turning pages until the end. There was plenty of steam, friends and family, witty conversation, and troubles. Janie knew enough to get out of her marriage, although it caused quite a few problems. Beast/David was willing to help her and protect her. Their feelings for each other grew fast and strong. I loved these two as well as all those around them in the Riot MC, very much a family.
I highly recommend this story and look forward to the next.
