I started this book this morning and read it straight through, which is often hard for me to do, I could not put it down. Awesome pacing, the plot points you need to know are resolved quickly with open communication between characters; without ultimately revealing the larger plot. I finished book one and immediately wanted to start book two. The build up and intricacy between characters is well done and to me felt very well fleshed out, without a ton of filler nonsense. Straightforward, interesting, sexy, engaging story.

As others have said, READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. I went full into it knowing what to expect but did need to sit it down for a moment. Only issues I’ve found is a few grammatical/spelling errors, but nothing that kept me from getting the point/reading on.

This is a slow burn motorcycle club MFM, why choose romance. Our FMC, Charlie is the motorcycle club princess. She has been getting protection from Crow, her friend turned crush. She is in danger and her brother is missing, the solution that her dad comes up with is an arranged marriage between her and another club's president's son, Victor. Most of the beginning of this book is spent trying to find out where Charlie's brother is and who put out the hit on her. She agrees to the marriage but told Victor that she wasn't willing to let go of Crow. I love all 3 of the MCs in this book, Vicor and Crow treat Charlie well and both are protective over her. There's a huge plot twist and cliffhanger at the end, which I expected when I knew it would be a duology, but it's huge and could trigger some, so read the content warnings. This is my first book from JR Dust, it's well written and the plot kept me engaged. I really need the next book ASAP

I feel super lucky to be a part of the ARC recipients, this book was AMAZING! Usually I have a hard time getting into a book for the first bit but this one had my attention the whole time. The character development was really well done. The whole thing really just flowed & I couldn't put it down! I am definitely going to be purchasing the second book in the duet as soon as it releases! The last few chapters OH MY! I am genuinely upset I have to wait to read more haha. I must know what happens next! I won't spoil anything but you should definitely read this if the trigger warnings don't affect you. Great storytelling overall & I'm happy to have a new author to support. (: Can't believe I finished it in 2 days! SO GOOD!

Okay, I'm so "angry" right now - YES, this ends on a serious cliffhanger! 👀 😬

But let me just say this story is absolutely phenomenal and so detailed through every single aspect of the story! You can easily visualize all the characters and surroundings, which makes reading so much better for me personally. When a story is basically playing a movie in my head, I know it's a good one. And that I'd exactly what this book has done for me.

This is a slow burn, but I'll tell you this - Chapter 20 - 🔥🥵🔥🥵

Now the first thing I mentioned is that it ends on a serious cliffhanger, wellllll...I'm not even slightly joking. The ending of this book has me all wound up and needing more, like right this second! 😔

I cannot wait to read book 2 to get everything answered because, boy, do I have a shopping list of questions right now!

🔥 Check the trigger warnings ahead of time!!!

*ARC Review*

OMG 😲 I don't know where to start!

This story is a slow-burn MC club romance. It had me invested the whole time with twists and turns about Charlie's (MFC) brother missing and trying to find him. War with other clubs and then her life is in danger and all why this is going on she develops feelings for her bodyguard. Her life gets even more complicated when her dad tries to get her to agree to an arranged marriage to merge with another club.

This book had me grabbing my chest to the very end. Especially chapter 20- OMG 🥵🔥🌶🌶💦

Warning this book ends on a cliffhanger and you will have more questions than answers can't wait for book 2!!!

[Reba Densley · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author sucked me in from the beginning. I couldn’t put it down. JR Dust was fantastic at pacing the book in a nice flow. Kept me from wanting to put the book down. For a Dark Max romance that you must read. Charlie is just a take no nonsense girl and she’s got her two MC hotties around her finger. Cliffhanger left me wanting more and I can’t wait to read the second one. Finished it within a day and a half. Run, it’s a must read

[Haliegh White · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have never read a book so quick! All the twists in this book definitely keep you on your toes. And the slow burn love triangle just adds to it (chapter 20 will have you dying for more!). I definitely can’t wait to read the next one! I look forward to everything J.R. has in coming in the future!

I got this book as an ARC read for an honest review:

I have to say I really loved "Signed for You". The author can really suck you into her story. There was never a dull moment in this story. To be honest, It'll keep you wanting to know more. This is a Dark MC romance and has triggers, so definitely look them up before reading. I loved the interactions between the heroine & these two MC hotties 🔥 that are totally different with her, there's definitely a lot of drama/situations going on between the heroine and all the MC Clubs, this book will definitely keep you on the edge of your sit, it has some steamy parts but not overly smexy, still overall an excellent book and it does end on a cliffhanger, so I'm really looking forward to book two.

[Karen Desira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Received this ARC from the fantastic J.R. Dust. My first (but definitely not last) book by this author.
Charlie is the daughter of the MC president, who starts developing feelings for a bodyguard Crow, but is also promised to another man, Victor, who is the son of a president of a different MC. This was such an easy read, with great characters, a fantastic plot with some very unexpected twists and turns, and a jaw-dropping cliff-hanger at the end! The whole book is so well-paced, expect to start reading it and not wanting to put it down. Overall, I wouldn’t miss out on this book. Book 2 is expected in a couple of months!
⚡️Check you trigger warnings before reading ⚡️

[Emma lee Sellers · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you’re looking for a thriller motorcycle club dark romance this one is for you. I read it in a day I could not put it down. The main character Charlie is witty and funny and so relatable. I’m not going to lie I did not foresee it being a why choose, but the way that I screamed!!! When we all learned sharing is caring. Make sure you check trigger warnings and it does end on a massive cliffhanger. A massive confusing what the actual French toast cliffhanger.

[literaturelacey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely devoured this book so quickly! Chapter after chapter I was left wondering what was going to happen next, I couldn’t get to the next page fast enough. AND that cliffhanger?? Whew.. I mean I was warned but I did not see that coming at all.
This book truly has it all: Romance, Spice, Motorcycles, Violence, Suspense.
Can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.
**please check the trigger warnings**

[cierra · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was way better than I thought it would be. I am not a ✨spicy✨ book gal, but it was not overwhelming and didn’t take away from the story. I appreciated that about this book. The ending caught me by surprised and I INSTANTLY wanted to read the next book. So excited for book two!

[Emily Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

PLEASE heed the trigger warnings.... with that said this book was absolutely incredible! It kept me on my toes and at the edge of my seat. I still can't understand though why the ending had to be the way it was.... That cliff hanger is a doozy, but I cannot wait for the 2nd book to come out.

[Amanda Macinnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

My first book by J.R Dust and my first MC read. I read this as an ARC and I’m pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. Although I’m blown away by the cliffhanger which has me wishing tomorrow was the release of book 2 with that being said this is a must read. This book is going to be finding its way to my book shelves in a physical form. But let me just tell you I did not see the twist coming 😊. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ on the spicy scale!

[Rachael Pearson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Charlie is a realistic character, I found myself enthralled and following her journey as though I was in it. It kept me on my toes, I love that it wasn't something predictable. With a little bit of spice 🔥and even laughs. I look forward to book two!

[Vanessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a cliffhanger! Obsessed with MC stories so this was right up my alley.
Looking forward to some additional backstory details in Book 2 but this was a fantastic setup.

[Stefanie McLain · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my, where to start with this amazing new author and her first book? I went into this book blind other then knowing it was a MC and it was the first book of a series. Not sure what to expect I was blown away. J.R. did a wonderful job of creating a world that seems as if I could visit one day. I have one more reason to cross the pond and visit the UK now. The writing flowed and was so easy to follow the progression of the story.


Now the story. I want my own Crow. He is so caring and tender to Charlie. From the first moment I loved him and wanted them together. Victor is wonderful and I love how he does not keep as much from Charlie as everyone else. Charlie at times seems to be very much the young lady she is while other times she seems well beyond her age. I respect that she didn’t lie to Crow or Victor through the hole dating getting to know each other part. Their story was just really starting when Charlie went missing. But do not worry her missing big brother shows up just in time to hopefully save her. Sadly we do not know how or if Charlie will be saved until book 2 comes out. We are left with a wonderful cliffhanger and I personally love it.

[Jacquelyn Alva · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am usually a thriller girl, but I’m trying to broaden my horizons with some romance. That being said, I feel like the book was the perfect mixture of both a slow burn thriller and a spicy romance novel.
Can we talk about the s3x scene?? J.R. Dust is a master at describing the hot and steamy encounter and my only complaint is that she didn’t add more s3x scenes! It was *chef’s kiss.*
As others have mentioned, there are several triggers in this book, but the last few chapters were incredible and extremely detailed. My thriller side was definitely impressed and I found myself on the edge of my seat as I read the final chapter.
This book ends on a cliffhanger, which I’m so bummed about because I NEED somebody to kick some as$ for that last scene.

[moonlitnovels · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thank you to J.R Dust for this eARC. All thoughts are honest and my own.

I really really liked this book. This is a slow burn MC club romance. It had me invested since I opened it. I also read this in one sitting , took me about 2.5 hrs to finish. Chapter 20… OH MY GOD I definitely wasn’t ready for it but I loved it!! 🌶️🌶️

Also, I NEED the second book right now I can’t believe it ended on a cliffhanger

[Karie · Rating 4 out of 5]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️

What a great start to a series! I found myself wishing this book was longer… a very quick read.
Warning: it does end on a cliffhanger and my jaw was on the floor.

Charlie is the daughter of a MC President and starts relationships with two men in particular. The spice doesn’t hit until the end of the book, but the plot is great. I love a good motorcycle club romance and this was a great starting point for what I anticipate a great series.

Bravo, J. R. Dust!! 🎉🏍️

This book…I flew through it, it was a quick, easy to read, absolutely phenomenal start to the series. Crow and Victor are easily my favorites, but with all the twists and turns and promises for more, they have me worried. I’m reeling from the ending, my heart breaks and I just hope she gets some revenge. I need it just for myself as much as she does. There are a lot of characters I have questions on, but JR Dust does an amazing job at keeping them open. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything, just that those questions are lined up for the next book.

✨ARC REVIEW✨

If you are looking for a read that leaves you with more questions than answers, this book is for you! I

I absolutely love Charlie, her personality is amazing. The chemistry between her, Crow, and Victor is amazing. Crow and Victor each bring something to the table for Charlie and it is amazing to see her figure it all out. I can’t wait to find out more and (hopefully) get all the answers to the questions I have!

[Alli Hunter · Rating 5 out of 5]

ARC Review of Signed For You by J.R. Dust
* * * * *
An MC romance with a slow burning love affair that builds into something more, eventually twisting into something darker...with an epic cliffhanger that has your jawdropping in shock!

Charlie's life has taken a massive hit. She was used to her what she had, a father who took on a massive responsibility to the MC he was loyal to, a brother she loved and a mother who was gone. However, her brother Gray has all but disappeared and Charlie is left in the shadows.
She is now under the watchful eye of her new bodyguard, Crow.
However, that has its perks.
Irritance turns into yearning.
Soon, they can't keep their hands off one another.
Yet, here comes another few obstacles. Charlie's father wants her to get hitched to another MC brat, which has her raising an eyebrow and turned off completely...even when the guy is starting to grow on her. Then there is the issue of the club's president returning after a long stint in prison after committing a crime that holds a lot of secrets.
Secrets that involve Charlie.
Now she is in danger again.
As she is protected from enemies and tries to find her brother, she may not realise until it is too late that the danger is already so close.

Like, wow.
I. DID. NOT. EXPECT. IT. TO GET. THAT. DARK!
I mean, it was lingering in the background but I assumed it would slowly build up to it like it has wiith the romance, however...THAT ENDING! I need to the next book like right now because I was buzzing and going crazy after finishing this first read! Like punch to the gut madness!
Crow is a sweety. Victor is quiet, but already loving him. Poor Charlie has not idea what she is in for, and the people she should trust around her raises so many questions.

[Toni Gower · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this as an ARC review. I absolutely loved this story. I initially worried seeing it was a short book that it would be rushed. However, everything about this book was incredible. I loved the story line and the characters. Char the main character is just wonderful and relatable to every book lover out there. I loved both Victor and Crow. This book really built the story and you just can’t wait to see what happens next. Yes, there’s spice but an actual story line as well. I loved the dancing around darker elements with a gradual build up to getting darker and darker. I cannot wait to receive book 2 soon as the cliffhanger has me needing more!!

ARC REVIEW

So i had the pleasure of reading this book as an arc reader, and im glad i did. It's a slow burn story, but it grips you from the start. Im already invested in where crow went, where was victor, why did grey walk in at the end! And is she going to be saved? And the way liam was described gave me creepy vibes perfectly, so job well done! Cant wait for part 2 😊

[Michelle Sanderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a slow burning MMC book but does not disappoint. Absolutely loved the development of the relationship between Victor, Charlotte and Crow. Just to warn you that this book ends in a cliffhanger and marks you want book 2 like now.

Would highly recommend reading this book



This is an ARC review

I read this book as my first ARC and let me just say…… OMG. Its giving some riverdale serpent vibes and I’m all for it. There are some triggers so be sure to look into those before diving in.

This book truly had me sucked in from the beginning. I thought I knew what was going to happen, but so many plot twists!!!

[Michelle Laqua · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely recommend this read! I loved this book and cannot wait for the second one! It definitely kept me turning the pages. I so wish it could be a series or a movie because I was playing it in my head as I was reading and it was amazing.
