Refreshing take on an MC Romance series. The president is a decent guy who actually respects women and can keep it in his pants. I love Hope. She’s an excellent heroine.
Love this book. Came into this book looking for a little romance a little fighting lots of make up sex. Found it! Again love this book now on to the next book.
First time author for me. This author took the biker/MC sub-genre and breathed new life into the same old pattern being shown in many of the same genre newer releases. I loved the way the author developed the love between Hope and Rock. Rock is the President of the MC and is in court facing a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession. Hope is a family law attorney who gets roped into representing Rock for the bail hearing. It’s instant attraction for both of them. Hope is married at the time. The romance covers a two year period. Rock backs off pursuing Hope in respect for her marriage and thinks he will never possess her. But then her husband dies of natural causes (nothing related to Rock or the club) and she goes into a deep depression. Rock immediately stops his man-ho ways and becomes celibate because he decides to give her one year to grieve and then he’s going after her. Ten months later, Hope’s best friend searches Rock out because of her concern about Hope’s decline. Rock then actively starts pursuing Hope. I loved Rock’s character. He’s strong but then he’s soft/sweet with Hope. He understands her grief over her husband and never makes her feel bad or gets jealous. Hope is a strong woman but then she has her moments of weakness as she suffers the grief of losing her husband and the conflicting emotions. This is not a gritty MC romance where the club actions take center stage. It’s more about true love, grieving and the sacrifices one is willing to make in the name of love.
I loved this story and it didn’t hit any triggers for me but it has some triggers that I know some readers will not like at all.
1. Rock kisses Hope on their second meeting. The meeting is related to her continued representation of him in court. She’s currently married. She participates in this kiss but tells Rock she will never break her marriage vows. I did not see this as cheating on her husband. Some readers will.
2. On the day of her husband’s funeral Rock shows up at her house because of his concern about her. She asks him to take her for a ride and he does. No sex involved. Some readers will be very critical of this also. I had no problem with it. This is when Rock goes celibate and decides no more women until he can get Hope.
I’m looking forward to the next book in this series. It will continue Rock/Hope’s story but don’t think this book is a cliffy. It’s not because there is a HFN and you’re not left hanging.
I really loved this book, i didnt want to put it down!
Loved it so much! Great beginning to an amazing series. Didn’t want it to end!
The story line was so real and intense you get sucked in, right from the first page. I could not stop reading this book, I had to complete in one sitting. The characters are so life-like that you feel that you’re right in the story – you feel the same things that Hope does, and you sure as hell want to be here when Rock is around. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes steamy scenes, love stories, and MC themed books. If you don’t like MC themed books, you will after reading this one!
This is a new author for me and I have read 7 of the books in the series so far. I have enjoyed all of them.
Favorite Quotes:
“I don’t care who gobbles your knob, Mr. North.”
“A man like him would only bring me heartache and probably an STD.”
“Good, because as much as I’ve claimed you, you’ve claimed me. I’m yours as much as you are mine.”
“You’re exactly what and who I want in every way. No one else compares.”
My Review:
I am loving this Autumn Jones Lake series and oh happy day – I have all three books in the series to feast on. So far I have made an all-day buffet of Slow Burn, as I could not seem to put my kindle down any longer than absolutely necessary. The story is easy to following and enticing, and I was immediately hooked on page one. The writing is clever, crisp, current, all-absorbing, and addictive, while the plot is well-paced and skillfully contrived. I adore the main characters and look forward to more of their story. Although they move in completely different circles – they mesh so well. The sensual scenes exploded on the page and had me gasping and gulping cool liquids in order to stay hydrated, being proactive with that as I would not want anything to interfere or hamper my ability to continue on with this quest.
Freaking loved this book! Definitely recommend it to anyone who loved Sons of Anarchy! The characters are strong and sassy, and the storyline is fluid and damn hot!!! Someone turn on a cold shower for me!!!
I love this series. I especially love Rock and Hope. It’s an opposite attraction love story. I love how Autumn brings 2 different world together. It’s a must read. LOVE LOVE this series.
A totally different take on the MC romance genre with a smart heroine and an alpha hero who treats women with respect. The entire series draws you into the Lost Kings MC family. You’ll feel like you have a window into their world.
Absolutely love the beginning of Rock and Hope’s steamy story!
So swoon-worthy! Rock is an amazing alpha-hero!
• Slow Burn – Wonderfully written, descriptive story telling and a glimpse in the Lost Kings MC and it’s Prez, Rock, and his feelings for attorney Hope. Well executed inner struggle and realization dialog produces this hot but tender love story. Part 1 of 3.
My first book from Autumn Jones Lake….and I can’t wait for more!! This book was alot different than my normal MC books and I liked it. I loved Rock and his treatment of the women. He wasn’t the normal douche most guys in MC books are presented as. And he was so hot!!! Hope is such a sweet loveable character. I could relate to her insecurities….and I loved that. Rock brings out the best in her. But how Rock takes his time and dosent pressure her is amazing to me. Love this series and need more….thankgoodness I have more waiting for me to read!!!!
Interesting take on the opposites attract. Loves the characters, the dilemmas, fun sexy times… the whole story was excellent.
I’m in love!!! Rock, the biker MC’s president is the perfect book boyfriend, hot badboy who is sexy AF,with some honour, values and gentlemanly behaviour thrown in to create the perfect blend. And the lady of his heart is strong, clever, educated, yet also human, compassionate and vulnerable. I read a quote today on social media, “If you feel like you’ve just lost a good friend when you turn the last page of a book, the book was truly great.” This quote fits this book to a T! And the narrators of the audio version are brilliant performers, too. Perfect romance experience. I think this is a series, so I’ll definitely work my way through the rest as well! No-brainer!
This was an incredibly realistic story of how a MC president fell in love with an almost prudish married lawyer. It was well done. They didn’t just jump in bed together. Things like honor, commitment, loyalty actual had value. The secondary characters reel you in and hook you to the storyline just as much as Rock and Hope.
I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series that’s for sure. Happy Reading!
The author has done such a wonderful job with the story I really truly and honestly recommend this story for every romance lover and MC lover!!! It was so freaking amazing that I couldn’t put it down and I was mad when the story ended I wanted more. I needed more. It’s a hook line and sinker kind of story it will just absolutely hook you into wanting more. Hell I was able to read this in 1 hole day not even 1 complete day either. I loved it!!! Could this story be any hotter. Holy bikers of hottness. The author has really done an amazing job with the writing and making the story plot, it’s a much softer version of MC romance that I’m sure everyone is use to.

This is one of my reread series. well written and great story line and plot. The tensions between the characters is matched by the desire for each other. Court life lining up with MC life. Friends and brothers support as much as they put stumbling blocks the couple work through. They are just better with each other than without.
Best of MC Romance
