Reviewer: Lisa
Review: Each book in Dark Riders collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. I love the way Lynn can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws you in. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by Lynn.
Jake’s life has been hell for so long that he has given up. His mother didn’t give a damn about him and his stepfather beat the crap out of him daily. Well he and his two friends did. When he had been younger he had been caught with another boy and his life had been a living hell ever since. That was how he met Emilio. Emilio had saved him from a beating. He worked at Andromeda ever since he started hanging out there.
Emilio had taken one look at Jake and wanted him. The problem was Emilio had a past and didn’t want Jake to have to deal with that and the fact that he was a wolf. He kept an eye out for him and over him, but this one time he was almost too late. Jake had overdosed on some drugs at the club and Emilio found him. He had to even give him CPR to revive him. Emilio knew he would have to take steps farther with the man he was falling in love with.
Now Jake was hunted by not only his stepfather, darlings, the Blood Hearts, and striker. He was in some serious crap now, and he had to learn to trust the one man made for him. This story was amazing, although when it comes from Lynn I can guarantee that it will be. I loved it and look forward to the next story in this series. I couldn’t take my eyes off this story till the very end. It gave me everything I could possibly want in a story. I loved it.
I would recommend reading this, especially if you love gorgeous men, angst and pain, excitement, passion and fire, hot sex and dangerous situations. Not to mention men that turn into wolves.
