SYNOPSIS:
Fast. That’s how I like life, especially
my two great joys: bikes and women. I’m
committed to exclusively riding one, but not the other.
Until April.
A sexy-arse freelance
photographer who’s travelled the world, and doesn’t do long walks on the beach
or romantic candlelit dinners. She enjoys running with the bulls and food spicy
enough to make your hair fall out. If that weren’t enough to get me hard, she
rides a mean mother of a motorcycle.
I’ve gotta have a
taste of this wildcat.
~Spencer (Jones)
I don’t do fast. Not
anymore. I’ve got my career, my independence, and since I fled Spain to come
back home I promised myself that I wouldn’t be put second—or third, for that
matter—again.
Then I meet pretty boy
Spencer.
He’s smooth, oozing
the most potent pheromones probably known to modern science, and he’s making a
move on me. One kiss was almost enough for my promise to dissolve.
My head says no—my
treacherous body screams yes. I’m gonna make Spencer work for it. Make him
fight for the chance to have me, because I know that deep down I’m worth it.
~April MacIntyre
Review by: LEEANN
If you have read Spark & Spike you
are going to love Strike!
This is about Spencer & April. We
met Spencer in the 1st two books & it is safe to say he is a ladies man....
Then he meets April.
April does what every woman should do,
she makes him work for it.
Strike has some laugh out loud moments.
This is written from both April & Spencer's POV and some of the thoughts
coming from Spencer are hilarious!
April is a smart girl. She knows what
she wants and is determined to settle for nothing less. The only thing standing
in her way is her father! April's father Mac is also Spencers motor cross
trainer & no one is good enough for his little girl. He has seen Spencer at
his worst & does not want him anywhere near April.
The antics April & Spencer get up to
trying to hide their relationship are hilarious.. I laughed so much in some
parts!
The sex, or the sex you have when your
not having sex is hot. hot, hot.. You will need a fan!!!
If you want
a steamy, funny and emotional read then I recommend this book for you! I cannot
wait to read the next book in this series..
5 Stars
Review by: SAM
I would like to start by explaining why this was not a five
star read for me. April is that reason. I like my book heroines to have
attitude and when they make men work for them. Although April did have a lot of
sass and a take no shit attitude. I liked that she could also be very sweet and
loving around Jones. However, I found her 'we can't tell Daddy' attitude really
annoying and I also found her very selfish at times, making me not really care
for her character as much as I really wanted to. That was a huge obstacle in
the way for me. This woman isn't a little girl anymore, she makes her own
choices in life and has achieved some incredible life changing experiences.
However, she should have been proud to have Jones/Spencer as her man, over what
anyone thought. Their chemistry, his words, his adoration for her, was quite
obvious throughout the entire book, yet she kept putting off telling Daddy. I
understand the protective Father role, I have seen this in plenty of books,
movies and real life situations. But for me, for the independence April has and
life experience, I feel that she should have told Daddy dearest to BACK THE
HELL OFF a lot sooner, I also feel she should have given Jones a little more
credit than she did.
Ok, now I have that rant out of the way, let's get back to
what I really loved about this book. In the previous books in the series, Jones
always comes across as the arrogant and cocksure son of a bitch. However, in
this story, you see Jones as Spencer. The hard working, MX loving, loyal,
sexual, funny and sincere guy. I loved him in this book. I think I would have
liked him to wear the trousers a little more than April, because he seemed to
do everything possible to make her happy and go with whatever she wanted to do.
For example, the bedroom antics and scenes, I got mad at her. He is one VERY
patient guy and just for him respecting her choices, he deserved a damn medal.
He is such a nice guy, yes, he has a history, but doesn't everybody? April made
him work HARD, but she should have been putting that effort in too.
I cannot fault Jennifer's writing style. I love the pace and
flow, the humour, and the fact that she writes AMAZING male POV'S. The first two in the series were 5* reads for
me, but I just didn't feel a good connection with April in this book. I loved
the ending! ABSOLUTELY loved the epilogue and was so happy with the outcome of
this story.
I CANNOT FREAKING WAIT to read 'Sting'
which is going to be Ryan Clark's story! I am buzzing to know more about him
and get inside his head! Mmmmmm Sexy Detective... yep! I'll have a whole bag
full of that please!!!
