Kason, Wren and Jordan are a trio that is like no other in this amazing world Jayne Rylon has created. Wren and Jordan have a history that is messy, heartbreaking and undeniably intense. The addition of Kason into their lives changes everything. This story is sexy, as all of the books in this universe are, but contains an extremely passionate storyline that makes to feel every emotion the characters are going through.

Another hot, emotional story from Jayne Rylon.
Slow Ride is book two in the Hot Rides series. While you probably can read it OK as a standalone, I highly recommend reading book one, Wild Ride, first. It contains background information that will enhance your enjoyment of Slow Ride. Having said that you should also know that Jayne gives you enough of the background in Slow Ride that you won’t be lost if you don’t read Wild Ride first.
The blurb for the book is accurate and we know from it that Jordan and Wren suffered a terrible loss that tore them apart. Slow Ride is about them finding their way back to each other again and finding another partner to complete them.
Popular country singer, Kason Cox, has been hiding something for years but when he meets Jordan, he can no longer suppress that part of himself that is attracted to men as well as women. When these two get together the sparks fly and it’s hot as fire.
When Jordan realizes that Kason and Wren are attracted to each other he feels like he can finally embrace the part of himself that he denied when he and Wren were together with Johnny. Wren, Kason and Jordan have the potential for something really special if Kason can just be true to himself and quit worrying about what everyone else thinks.
Slow Ride got all of my emotions involved. I was so sad for what happened to Johnny and the resulting effect it had on Jordan and Wren. I was happy when Kason finally gave in to what he wanted with Jordan and Wren. It was so good to also touch base with the gang from Hot Rods and Powertools as they helped Devra’s (from Wild Ride) dream of opening her own restaurant come true.
Slow Ride is a complete story with an ending for Kason, Jordan and Wren but the last chapter sets up the next book, Hard Ride, which will feature Kyra, Ollie, and Van. This is a really great series and I can’t wait to read Hard Ride.
An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
This highly entertaining read has a strong story line that relies heavily on steamy heat and raw emotions. The relationship between these characters (especially Jordan and Wren) is complex, painful and complicated. This book will capture and keep your attention as love, loss, grief, pain, anger, hope, second chances and new beginnings all have a place in this powerful and engaging romance. A very enjoyable read.
Nobody writes polyamorous quite like Jayne Rylon but she has surpassed herself this time. I genuinely think that this one is my favourite of all her books.
We met Wren and Jordan in the first Hot Rides novel and just knew there was a story to be told.
What. A. Story. It. Is!
This absolutely cannot be missed!
Additionally, in true Rylon style the next novel is beautifully set up and has this reader already panting for its publication!
I admit it, this book caught me completely off-guard with the feelings, with the sadness, and despair that rolled off the pages. I didn’t really read the blurb, my fault, but I think that turned out to be a wonderful thing. I got to experience everything with Wren and Jordan. The absolute overwhelming feeling of loss, and then transitioning into hope, and finally settling down with their happiness. Kason didn’t slouch either, with his confusion, his denial, his internal conflicts
These characters grabbed me, took me into their world, and let me accompany them as they figured things out, and found their balance. I loved every single second of it!
An emotional journey of accepting who you are and what you want or need. Losing your someone is a devastating thing to happen but to walk away from the other someone in your relationship has the bottom falling out of your world. Can these 2 work out how and why this happened after 5 years and find another 3rd to complete them. Loved reading this romance of heartbreak, acceptance, and having your world come back together.
***4 Stars***
After seeing the tension between Wren and Jordan in Wild Ride, I was totally looking forward to seeing how the rift between them would be mended and who would become the third in the poly-romance and I wasn’t disappointed. The emotional gut punches were balanced out with humor, a lot of heart and a bit of meddling/help from those who’d been there done that and wanted to see them get their HEA.
I really liked Wren, Jordan and Kason. All of them are really good people who are struggling to let go of their pasts, find forgiveness and redemption while figuring out how to be happy in their present and futures. Their journey, from start to finish, was a rocky with each of them at different stages of acceptance of their wants and needs, but with a little (ok A LOT) of help from their friends, they each have those ‘lightbulb’ moments and prove that they are perfect for each other.
This is another great addition to the series, and world. The writing was engaging and I enjoyed the multiple third person POV’s. As I said, there was a lot help in getting Wren, Jordan and Kason together, but as the saying goes ‘It takes a village.’ and I loved how the Powertools, Hot Rods and Hot Rides crew all stepped in to help. And then there was the set up for the next book, it’s definitely going to be explosive and I cannot wait to see how it all plays out.
