“In life, you don’t always know what’s coming your way…but when something spectacular shows up, you have to grab it.”
I’ve been reading Jayne Rylon for several years, and Slow Ride is by far my fav! Loved and highly recommend this impossible to put down menage romance!
Some books pull at your emotions in a beautiful, heart-wrenching, yet utterly fulfilling way and Slow Ride is one of those books. Wren and Jordan have a painful backstory, having lost one of their partners, Johnny. Neither was able to find their way through the pain and stay with each other. Five years later, they realize they are both in love with the same man and it becomes clear pretty quickly, these two are meant to be with each other, despite the pain and baggage from their pasts. Kason was Johnny’s favorite singer and Wren and Jordan are both drawn to him. Kason is not without his own demons, as a former addict, each day is a struggle. As these three people spend time together and slowly heal each other, they try to form something lasting, but Kason’s fame and his manager may stand in their way.
I enjoy reading this author because of all the crossovers between her series. I’ve read some out of order and others in order and I have never been disappointed. The way all of the characters are developed, there is an immediate understanding of who they are.
SLOW RIDE was more emotional than I thought it would be. Loss of any type sucks and watching characters grieve and heal and hope brought on all of the feels. Add in steamy sexy time and this is another winner.
Did it again Jayne Rylon. I loved this book, it is filled with everything to keep the reaser interested, and emotions all over the place. Wren and Jordan have a lot to come back from. Jordan is a great guy that made the biggest mistake of his life. Now is his chance to make it up to Wren. Kason has made his interest in Wren known, and his hidden feelings for Jordan are so hard to ignore. Their journey of self discovery and learning to admit their loveand what they truly desire is an amazing read. A great book that lets the reader visit with the Powertool and Hotrod families again was great. Hotrides is so far an amazing series with characters that are so real and their lives intersect in such a loving family way, that you want to be part of it.
This is the second book in the series. This one for me is filled with a lot emotion. The beginning my heart just broke for the characters. I could feel their pain. There were many subtlety sweet moments that were a big impact for the characters. Example is the autographed backstage pass. It means so much for the characters to feel connected once again. It was beautiful watching Jordan, Wren, and Kason together. Wren finding the a peace that fills the hole she’s had inside her. Kason and Jordan exploring the new path in life they never thought they could experience. It’s not going to be easy especially with Kason being in the public spotlight, but with the support of the Hot Rides and Hot Rods gang they may be able to find their balance at a HEA. There is a ton of heat and chemistry between the three, but you can feel the connection between them which makes it beautiful. If you’re a fan of menage Jayne Rylon is the author for you! I loved the set up for the next book.
This is a beautiful story! Jayne Rylon has shown her outstanding writing in this one. It is a very emotional read, that you can feel deep in your heart. It is a story of loss, grief, attraction, healing, and love. It is one that you can not put down. I loved this book, so I highly recommend it to you.
My oh my! Jayne Rylon does not disappoint! Wren and Jordan have history. They tried a manage relationship before but were both devastated when their third was killed in the line of duty. She hasn’t spoken to him in five long years. It’s when he has come to the aide of her friends that she is forced to look at her feelings. When Kason walks into Hot Rides, he stirs something in Wren that she hasn’t felt in a long time. Could be be the one to pull her out of her despair?
I loved reading their journey. They have such emotional baggage that intertwines with each other that it is explosive. The doubt that Kason has, the groveling Jordan must do and Wren’s heart that needs mending. I was engrossed in them and couldn’t put this down.
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Jordan, Wren and Kason. Jordon and Wren have a history and Jordon doesn’t come out well in it. He wasn’t sure of his place and when their third and his best friend died, he couldn’t handle the loss. Wren didn’t handle it well either but she expected Jordan and had to push through alone. I love that in spite of Jordan’s handled their loss Wren found a way to forgive him. Would they make the same mistakes with Kason? I love that Kason gave the appearance of acceptance when in reality he was scared to accept himself. Would he find the courage to take what he needs? Ms. Rylon did not make it easy for Jordan, Wren and Kason to find their happily ever after. I love that she focused on the emotions and the journey to a happy triad. I loved seeing Jordan and Wren find forgiveness. I loves seeing Kason struggle toward acceptance. I thought Ms. Rylon’s characters felt real and their emotional growth believable. This story is well written and full of highs and lows. This story does not need to be read in chronological order to enjoy the journey to a loving non-traditional relationship. I cannot wait to see where Ms. Rylon will take us next in this world she has created.
This is Book 2 in the Powertools: Hot Rides series. I do want to warn you right up front that this is a Ménage book and it has some awesome hot monkey sex happening between the pages. Now don’t say that you weren’t warned! We meet Wren and Jordan in Book 1. They were lovers but broke up due to a tragedy overseas when Johnny was killed. Jordan walked away and Wren was never the same. Now they are back in the same town together and Wren wants nothing to do with him. Country singer Kason Cox comes to town and sparks fly between him and Wren. This is such an emotional book that it will tear you apart as you read it. There’s the love between Wren, Jordan and Johnny. Then the grief that they go through. You have to read it to see everything that they go through, together and apart. Jayne Rylon just continues to put out good books that you just can’t help but love. I can’t wait to see who comes up in the next book!
Emotional and Hot. Ms. Rylon gets deep.
Slow Ride is a roller coaster ride of emotional. Learning to love in unconventional ways and finding happiness to have it stripped away in the blink of an eye. Wren and Jordan both suffered the same loss. Losing a loved one, a lover, had rocked the foundation of their world. The pain remained to great and Jordan and he chose to walk away. Jordan is strong and dominant, yet doesn’t believe he had the softness needed to nurture Wren the way he believes she should be.
Fives years later paths cross, with all the old feeling and desires still burning strong. A new player to the game has changed the board so to speak. Kason just maybe an angel set from a past lover or just happened to walk in to the right place at the right time. There’s something about him that makes Jordan and Wren wake from the fog of their past and start looking towards the future again.
Ms. Rylon completely surprised me with the unexpected emotional depth of Slow Ride. Ladies you might want to pull out the tissues as well as grab the fan. Slow Ride is deep on an emotional and sexual level. Mason, Wren and Jordan story wraps around the reader like a blanket. You can’t help but to get emotionally involved and invested with them. There is a touch of darkness to the story but one that gets to see the light at the end. If you have read Ms. Rylon’s book Middle Man, which is my favorite of her works, you will complete fall for Slow Ride.
Words cannot express just how much I absolutely loved Slow Ride. Since meeting Wren and Jordan in other books in this series, I couldn’t wait to read their story—find out just what happened between them for there to be so much animosity and anger and hurt. But I just wasn’t prepared for all the love that still simmered beneath the surface.
Love that never really died, even through horrific tragedy, through mind-numbing grief, Jordan and Wren still loved each other, even if they couldn’t be together again.
Or could they? Could they put their past behind them? Learn from their mistakes and really not let go of their love again? Could Kason be the glue that holds them together? Or will self-denial, or the bright shining light of celebrity keep the three of them apart?
God, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what was to happen between Jordan, Wren and Kason. Would love finally win? Or would living a lie and an unsatisfied, unhappy life be in the future? I cheered when Wren and Jordan fought for their love and their truth. And cheered even louder when Kason finally fought for his own happiness too.
I swooned, I cheered, I blushed, and I loved every minute spent with Jordan, Wren and Kason. You will too!
Jayne certainly knows how to write a ménage story, I was glued to the pages!
Wren, Jordan and Kason come together after some trials and tribulations. Miscommunication kept Jordan away from Wren, after the death of their partner but after both meet Kason, they have the feeling that things can work out with him.
Kason though is not sure of what he wants or for those around him. Kason is a singer and in the spotlight and is afraid of what his fans will think of his wants.
I shed a few tears at the end of the story, this triad really needed each other, they were the only ones that could heal each other’s hearts. I totally enjoyed the Powertools gang and the the Hot Rods gang making cameos, so fun to read about them.
Go get this story, it will make you wish for your own triad!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
This is a great addition to this series. I was n the edge of my seat in anticipation of what was going to happen next. I enjoyed getting to know these characters and follow along on their journey.
I received an ARC copy of this book through BookFunnel and I voluntarily chose to review it. This is a well written story and the characters are wonderful. Jayne Rylon is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Please remember this is a love story with multiple partners. I encourage you to give this one a chance it is worth it. If you have read any of Ms. Rylon’s book you will recognize some of the secondary characters. Not a quick easy read but it is hard to put down.
This is the second book in the Powertools: Hot Rides series. This is a contemporary MMF ménage romance. This was a wonderfully touching story, it has tragedy along with the happy ending. The characters are interesting and well developed from all different walks of life. The pace of the story is superb, making it had to put down. It also allows you time to revisit some characters from the other books in the series. Even though this is the second book in the series, I feel it can be read as a stand-alone book.

Slow Ride is the second book in the Hot Rides series written by author Jayne Rylon. This steamy MMF story can easily be read as a standalone romance. The Hot Rides books are set in the Powertools and Hot Rods world, and it’s always fun to see some of the other characters from Jayne’s other series. If you are like me and enjoy knowing the backstories, I suggest reading Wild Ride, the first book in this series.
Slow Ride tells the story of Wren Asbery, the newest member of the Hot Rides crew. Wren is enjoying working with the gang, and she’s finally feeling like part of a family. Five years ago she was in a relationship with Jordon and Johnny, but disaster struck, and she’s been alone since. When Wren sees Jordon again, her feelings for him arise. The only issue is that she started seeing Kason Cox, the famous singer. When Jordon and Kason meet up at one of the Hot Rides events, they decide to go somewhere private to discuss their situation.
Another fabulous story by Jayne Rylon! I can’t wait for the next one in the series!
Voluntarily Reviewed an Advanced Copy
I have been looking forward to Wren and Jordan’s story since the end of Wild Ride and I was not disappointed! The three main characters, Wren, Jordan, and Kason, are all very likable and have real chemistry but overcoming the hurts of the past will be challenging for Wren and Jordan, and convincing Kason to be true to himself might be near impossible. The writing is great and the story is emotional and touching. Devra, Trevon, and Quinn, among other others from the Hot Rides series make a welcome appearance in this book as well. They, like the entire cast of characters in these interconnected series – PowerTools, Hot Rods, and Hot Rides – have a lot of heart and it’s pretty awesome how they all love and support each other. I really enjoyed this book.
I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.
Slow Ride is the second book in the series Powertools: Hot Rides. This story is about Wren, Jordan, and Kason.
Wren is working at Hot Rides and is contending with the loss of both of her lovers – 1 to tragedy and the other, Jordan, to miscommunication and shared grief. Jordan is an ICE agent who is struggling to cope with the loss of a lover and his regret for pushing Wren away. Jason is a country rock singer who feels trapped by the image he is forced to portray to his fans.
I won’t spoil the Slow Ride these three likable characters take together, but I enjoyed every moment I spent reading their story!
I have not read the previously published Powertools and Hot Rods series, but as some of those characters were introduced in this story, I didn’t feel lost. We also get to visit with the 3 main characters from Wild Ride, book 1, in this series.
The scenes between Wren, Jordan, and Kason were hot and emotional. This book has everything: love, romance, angst, laughter, pain, tears, and even a villain on the way to a HEA. I cannot wait for Book 3!!
I could not wait to open this book! I always get excited when Ms Rylon releases a new story. This one is packed full of so many emotions…grief, confusion and denial to name a few. The grief tore Jordan and Wren apart. Will Kason be the missing piece that heals them? Of course, he has is own issues and pressure to deal with. It’ll take some help from the Crew to help these three.
*I received an Advance Reader’s Copy as well as purchasing a physical copy which I am voluntarily reviewing*
I loved the Hot Rods series and the first two books in the Hot Rides series definitely do not disappoint. I do have to say that given the conversation at the end of the first book I was a little surprised at which two men were the lead characters, but it was a good surprise. I cannot wait for the next book now.
Wren thought she had everything her heart desired and then a tragedy struck, and her world was blown to pieces. The one person she thought she could lean on through it all was having a hard time dealing and walked away.
Years later after taking a job with the Hot Rods/Hot Rides crews and seeing how happy they all are, Wren is finally ready to try again. As soon as she makes that decision Kason Cox walks through the shop door and the chemistry is instant and explosive. They decide to slowly explore the attraction between them. Jordan Mikalski decides it is time to man up and apologize for walking away from Wren when she needed him most, when he does both, he & Wren realize they still have feelings for each other. Kason sees Jordan and is attracted to him but due to pressures from some people in his life he tries to deny it.
Can the three of them work through their issues to find happiness? Will Kason let the other people in his life dictate how he lives it and with whom? This story has a few heartbreaking moments that are mixed in with a lot of steamy sexy times that you have come to expect from Jayne Rylon. I would highly recommend this entire series.
