Told from the biker’s point-of-view…
Salty, impatient, recently patched Dominion Brotherhood member Jesse is tasked with protecting club bunny Gianna while ensuring she’s not a double agent helping the enemy. The problem? He’s got to keep her in his room, which breaks one of his golden rules.

My Review

Absolutely devoured this The Dominion Brotherhood is my happy place and this delivered in every single way. This is Jesse and Gia’s story and two things stood out here that really upped this to the next level for me, the fact that Gia is a former club bunny; I do love a HEA for the underdog and Gia was definitely that and also this was written practically exclusively from the male POV which was like a breath of fresh air. We do also get a small snapshot into Gia’s headspace from the prologue and epilogue so this then managed to provide some needed perspective. This style of narration totally appealed to me in every way. So even though this series focuses on an individual couple in each book you do need to read from the beginning as there’s an ongoing story- arc running throughout, you might be a bit lost otherwise.

I loved Jesse so much he’s a salty no bullshit type of male and I adored his complete lack of judgment and disregard for what anyone else thinks. He decides that Gia is what he wants and he’s all In no matter her past and history with his club brothers. His heart is massive and he just wants Gia to see herself the way he does. I also appreciated that he didn’t allow his past to dictate his behaviour now rising above it and not closing himself off because of past hurts.

Gia definitely lacks self-esteem she fell into her current role through naivety and an inability to stand up for herself. Circumstance has taught her to be somewhat of a pushover and people-pleaser but what really shone through for me was that she just wanted to be loved and so she has allowed others to take advantage of her good nature which has all led to her current situation in life.

She evolved so much throughout the course of this Jesse’s love taught her she has worth and it was ok to stand up for herself. Gia is always going to be a sweet girl and that ok as by the finish here she’d with Jesse's assistance managed to grow a backbone whilst still managing to retain all of the loyalty kindness and heart that Jesse initially fell for.

We also had the usual drama and danger brought forth by the club's war with the Jackals and there were some truly poignant moments here. This author writes with such heart and I always become so invested in whatever she produces and this one hit the bar for me In every single way. Jesse for me was the total package and Gia was just perfect for him in every way I adored them as a couple. Totally recommend this series it’s a favourite of mine. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of Jaded.

I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntarily, honest review of it.

(If you’re new to this MC series, I would recommend that you start with the first book.)

After reading ‘Crossroads’ I became very curious about Jesse and Gianna’s story. I could hardly wait to read how Gianna was going to get her own biker guy. Especially because I had a suspicion that she was a good person that deserved her own biker to love and protect her. I was also curious to see how Jesse would handle the fact that Gianna has had sex with several of his MC brothers. The fact that the story was writing from Jesse’s POV made it even more special! I couldn’t wait to discover the MC world through the eyes of an alpha biker, to read his mind, feel his emotions and gain an insight into how the MC works and what goes on at their church meetings. I’m happy to say that the story gave me everything I wished for and even more.

Gianna Jones was born with a kind and sensitive heart but since her birth people have taken advantage of that. Her parents, aunt, stepsister and later the men. She wanted to fit in so badly that she believed the many lies of her loved ones. The fact that she’s beautiful made it difficult to make friends, other women were jealous of her beauty and it made guys look at her for all the wrong reasons. Her loyalty to her stepsister Kailey also brought her repeatedly in bad situations. Gianna had given up hope of ever finding what she’s looking for, a man to love and a family. She had accepted that in the eyes of everyone in the MC world she would always be a club bunny. But then she met Jesse and everything changed for her.

When Jesse Garcia accepted the assignment to protect the club bunny Gianna from their enemy, he never expected to fall for her. Their first few days together didn’t got too well, but the more Jesse got to know Gianna, the more he realized she could be the one for him. He discovered that Gianna was so much more than just a fun girl. She hid a sensitive, musical and broken soul in her. But not only was there the outside danger that Jesse had to protect her from, there was also the judgment and hateful words from his own MC brothers and their wives that made their relationship difficult. And Gianna wasn’t the only one who found it hard to trust anyone else. Jesse had also been hurt in the past and also had a hard time loving and trusting again. Could a relationship between them work? And what if Jesse discovered that Gianna’s demons were worse than first thought. Could Jesse convince Gianna that they could have a future together or was it too late for her broken heart?


I personally think that the writer made the right decision to write this story from the guy’s POV. I think it would have been too emotionally and chaotic to tell it from Gianna’s POV. But I’m also very happy that the writer gave us Gianna’s POV in the prologue and the epilogue. That made it perfect for me. Just like every biker in this MC series, Jesse was alpha, protective, grumpy, bossy, dominant, loyal and impatient but to my surprise he was also very honest and unbiased towards Gianna’s past. He never made her feel less or shameful for what she had done in the past. (His mother’s past as a stripper was a big reason why I think.) He understood how quickly a person was judged on their appearance or on things out of their control. He really stood by Gianna in every situation. He respected her, supported her and she came first to him. I loved that!!! Because of everything that happened to Gianna, she had a low self-confidence and was very insecure. She was a shy and gentle woman. I liked how their relationship grew. Things weren’t always easy but they both fought for their relationship in their own way. They were a great couple.

In this story we got to know quite a few bikers better and some of their wives too. There were a few new secondary characters too. There was Jesse’s mother Fernanda and her partner Archer. She was a wonderful and feisty woman. A very likeable character. Sadly, the same can’t be said of Gianna’s aunt Francie, a very unpleasant woman. Gianna’s parents weren’t much better. Luckily, Gianna made some new friends in this story that supported her. Where in the previous stories the emphasis was more on the friendship between the girls, here we got to see how the guys supported each other in bad times. I liked that very much.

Because the stories in this series overlap, the same events often occur, but viewed through different eyes. I was a bit worried that there would be a lot of repetition in this story, but the author handled it very well! Because the story was told from Jesse’s POV, the writer was able to bring many new elements to the story. That made it all new and interesting to read. There were a few surprises with secondary characters that I didn’t see coming (and no, I will not tell you whom or what, you will to read it yourself!). I wasn’t sure how to feel about the surprises….. but I trust the writer. And in the end, every MC story needs his own drama. I’m sure the writer had her reasons for breaking that biker's heart and that she’ll mend it again in a future story. I can't wait to read it!

‘Jaded’ is a great addition to the ‘Beautiful biker’ series. I’m looking forward to the next story in the series. (And after reading this story I’m not sure if I want it from the woman’s POV or the man’s. It would be interesting to see the world through Deke’s eyes but then I’m sure that Laura wants to tell her story too. A difficult choice but also a good one!)

“Have you not clued in yet, hostage?” I asked. “Clued into what?” She looked genuinely perplexed. “The fact that I’m no longer protecting you because of what you did for the club. I’m protecting you because I’ve made you mine.”

I've been lucky enough to beta read DD Prince's upcoming MC release, Jaded, book 5 in her Beautiful Biker series, and all I can say is that everyone who reads this book and fans of this series are in for such a treat.

Jesse and Gigi are amazing together! The chemistry, the banter, the love. Jesse and his hostage are gonna steal your heart!

The Dominion Brotherhood are in the middle of their war with the Wyld Jackals, and Gianna, a former club bunny, provides vital information which saves lives.

In return, Jesse is tasked by his Prez to keep her under his protection.

But what started as an annoyance to Jesse, led to him seeing another side of Gigi.

This girl has such a sweetheart and is not what everyone thinks of her. And soon Jesse starts to fall:

'It wasn’t my style to be the knight on the white horse, swooping in to save the day. But this girl… everything about her … she was getting under my skin.'

Both of these characters carry pain, both have been let down in the past, one way or another, and I just loved how they connected and were there for each other; giving each other something they'd never had with anyone else.

This story is deeply emotional in places. Both Gianna and Jesse have scars from the past and their stories are heartbreaking at times. I felt so deeply for both of them. There were tears. There were times I wanted to just hug both of them, and there were darker undertones in their stories. But these two were perfect for each other; they were meant to be the ones to heal each other's wounds.

"The way I’m picturing it, we’ll head down the road together. I’ll have your back; hopefully you’ll have mine. I’ll try to work that pain outta your eyes and maybe you’ll work mine outta my soul. Wanna try it?”

It was so good to catch up with all the characters from the previous books - this MC really feels like family at this stage! I love all the Valentine girls! And having this book from the MMC's perspective was great to get into the biker's heads and hear what they said and thought about their women!

Jesse was super swoon-worthy and so hot 🔥🥵 Everyone is going to love him!

DD always brings the drama, the humour, the sexiness, but what I love most is her strong women, defending women. Gigi was, to some, persona non grata. She was judged (unfairly) for her past. For doing what men had done, she was named and degraded. But DD brings the sisterhood and those bonds, and I just loved it!

There are so many other character's stories I'm already hoping for! Poor DD will be tortured with requests, I'm sure! I know this series is going to continue, and I'll be here for the ride all the way!!

Just superb!

I have been anticipating and excited to read Jaded, Jesse and Gia’s story, and it was so much better than I thought possible but DD Prince has brought these characters to life and made them leap off the page.
Jesse, a character that we didn’t really know much about in the previous books of this series, was spectacularly written as a warrior and a genuine person. His past may have jaded him for love, and he swore that he would never fall for that again, but finds himself intrigued by Gia and the complexity of her situation.
Gia we have seen in previous books but she was always painted as the promiscuous bunny, but does anyone know the real Gianna? Jesse makes it his mission to find out what makes her tick and he is slowly drawn in by her kind heart while she is being used relentlessly by everyone in her life.
DD Prince has written a story that is deep and profound and emotionally charged. This story has dark moments but the connection of these characters has me feeling the impact of true unconditional love.

This is book 5 from the Dominion MC series and we meet Jesse and Gianna. It’s a long book and it can sometimes be easy to lose the plot with so many pages but I didn’t find this happened to me. There was a lot going on whilst JG and GJ built their relationship which started out as a job for Jesse to protect Gianna. The timeline runs along the timelines of book 3 & 4 and beyond. So there is another view of what has been happening in the club. Lots of the Valentine family and many others who we have grown to love in the series. Jesse is a strong character and Gianna tries hard to please but keeps herself almost invisible but she has backbone which is latent at the beginning but by the end of the book she has no hesitation in showing it. As we see them come together we get the hot hot scenes that DeeDee writes so well. This book is the full package of emotions as we get comedy, we get compassion and we get a really good story even though it is tinged with some sadness. There is a strong mental health thread going on throughout and I thought it was written very sensitively. We get to learn what they are both hiding from each other and the world. We also get an HEA and an epilogue which tells where the MC is going. If you are a DD Prince fan you won’t want to miss this book. If you are new to her then I’d suggest reading the previous books first. I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to Deke’s book which is the next in the series.

The best of the series

I've been a fan of this author since I came back to reading that wasn't required for my degree. I've watched how this author dabbles in a variety of subgenres and still stays fresh all while becoming one of my favorites regardless of the subgenre or trope. So often, authors have one area where they are strong. That isn't the case here. If she writes it then I'm reading it. Simple as that.

This book is an example of why. Her work has evolved over there years and she just gets better and better. Every character comes to life and takes over the top spot... Until a new character comes out and the cycle repeats.

I'm not sure how she made me like Gianna, especially as she was a bunny and had been around the track a few times, if you get my meaning. However, her character is the one to watch in this one because her growth was phenomenal. I became her biggest cheerleader. I could relate to her foot in the mouth tendency and her self sabotage. Jesse was beyond swoon worthy. I loved that he didn't get focused on her past and instead concentrated on the present and future. Getting this story told from his perspective with just the opening and closing told in hers made the book that much stronger.

I have so much more to say, however, I have stayed up way too late while sick to finish this book. So, I'll have to come back to this review. I will say that I highly recommend this book, series, and anything that this author writes. I look forward to whatever this author writes next.

MC books are my latest jam. They are not all about death and destruction, although we get some of that in Jaded. They are about family, loyalty and brotherhood.

Jesse had a job to do and little did he know he would fall for the insecure girl with a life full of drama and trauma. We knew, from the past books in this series, and reading it from Jesse’s POV was a bonus.

If I learned something from this read, it was not many people are all good or all bad. We are multifaceted and make mistakes. If we are lucky, we get a chance to fix some of them.

Holy 🦆ing 💩. Jesse gave Deacon a run for his money. Jesse was mostly known as the grumpy serious one in the previous books...but WOW he was swoony AF. Obviously he's the hot alpha we all want too. But he was so supportive of Gianna and really helped her find her backbone. Gianna is the sweetest thing ever. I really liked her in the previous books. A lot of times "club bunnies" are mean and only see competition. Gianna with her foot-in-mouth-itis was only ever trying to be helpful. She was all heart. This book had me laughing and crying and was hot af too. I can't wait for more of this series. Definitely one of the best biker series I've ever read.
P.S. Deacon is still my number 1 but Jesse 😍

I wasn't sure I was going to read this one. It's hard to convince people to read a book about a character that has been painted by less than flattering light in previous books. Gianna has never come off as some wicked OW trying to steal the other heroine's men but simply having this club bunny around that all the men have had sex with is AWKWARD. One of the reasons I don't read a lot of MC books is the unnecessary club whore drama they all have. It's mild but even this series has it obviously. I know our main characters need conflicts and things to overcome in books but OW drama just isn't appealing *to me* at all.

Anyway, I've been experiencing a wicked ass book slump/book funk - whatever you want to call it for like 10 months now and I'm SO over it. I've done a lot of re-reading that I have enjoyed but I've struggled to find new books that don't bore me to tears or have me running for the hills. DD Prince is one of my go-to authors. I knew she had this whole book sitting here that I hadn't gotten around to reading because I didn't want to read about a reformed club bunny. Do I regret reading this? No, it's a good read. DD Prince is a phenomenal writer and I very much enjoy her books. She's practically all 5 stars for me across the board....just not this one.

If you have read and enjoyed all the books in the series, I think you'll enjoy this one too. It's very long and thorough and you get a lot of interactions with the characters from the previous books. Detour and Joyride are easily 5 stars for me. I liked Spence's book a lot too, easy 4 stars. She lost me a little bit with Jojo's book because I prefer the fella to do the chasing. I re-read all the books but Crossroads in preparation for reading this. My heart just can't take a heroine being rejected over and over again like Fork rejected Jojo in Crossroads.

Jesse definitely doesn't do any rejecting here. It's not all sunshine and rainbows but he feels something from Gianna pretty quickly. He's a naturally cautious guy so he doesn't jump headfirst immediately but the forced proximity circumstances lead to them being able to grow their connection pretty quickly.

Spice-wise this is a faster burn. Jesse and Gianna start getting it on around 24%

We do get a rundown of all Gianna's "bunny hopping" to Jesse so he's not blindsided by her past activities. It's not quite as extensive as we have feared from the previous books but it's not nothing either. I can't remember ALL the specifics but she's been with all the Valentine boys (except she and Rider apparently didn't have full on sex, just fooling around) obviously and like 4 or 5 others I think. She apparently wasn't trying to be a bunny, she was just looking for love and kept getting burned.I'm glad Jesse was good with it because it still didn't thrill me. I'm not down with slut shaming. I hate when the MMC is a manwhore but it's honestly hard to find books where the MMC isn't a former manwhore. I'm not sure why that is exactly but I sure could do without it. I don't *need* my MMC or FMC to be virgins but no need for some extensive slutty past either. Like can't it just be normal?? I did feel for Gianna, she's been through a lot and I get how she ended up in the position she did, it still didn't make me love her as a heroine though. That's probably some subconscious internalized misogyny talking but it's how I feel.

This book is SUPER long but I found the length comforting. I love DD Prince's style of writing. This book is told from Jesse's POV aside from the prologue and epilogue. That was an interesting choice. I'm not sure if I'd have like this more or less if it had been from Gianna's POV. We do get to see a different side of the MC with Jesse's POV. It was interesting but I truly don't ever care about the MC stuff in MC books or mafia stuff in mafia books. I'm reading for the relationship and romance, all the details and backdrop you give me are just things my eyes glaze over to get to the relationship stuff.

It might have been for the best it was from Jesse's POV because I think Gianna is probably an overthinker. She'd have probably been way neurotic in her POV. Club bunny status aside I just didn't love Gianna. She was okay but she was a big old doormat for her family. She has a few TSTL moments and I think she had Jesse wrapped around her little finger. There were a couple of times I just wanted him to toss her over his shoulder and refuse to let her interact with her abusive family.

No virgins
former club bunny h
I didn't think H was a raging manwhore but he's definitely not a blushing virgin
No cheating between H/h
Mild OW/OM drama

Safety - between H/h this was safe. They don't cheat and aren't interested in any OW/OM. A couple of OW from H's past pop up but he dismisses them. There is one OM who is a member of the club. The h wants nothing to do with him. He pops up now and again and is eventually dealt with by the end of the book. The's OM's wife is a real bitch to h through the book because she knows her husband had been with h when she was a bunny. OM was the first one to bring h around the MC and responsible for her "accidentally" becoming a biker bunny.

While there is no cheating and no interest from H or h over OW/OM we do hear of h's past a few times. Nothing happens on the page but you do hear some details.

I had mixed feelings about this book even before I began, but I'm glad I read it.

I initially didn't think I'd enjoy reading Gianna's book, not just because she's a club bunny who's been with all the other hero's from previous books in the series, but because I didn't think I'd care for her character much.

This book is written in Jesse's POV, which I'm glad for because we get to see Gianna from his eyes.

Gianna has a heart of gold but hardly a backbone. She'll burn herself to keep others warm, which we've seen throughout this book happen time and time again. She was out looking for love but got labelled club bunny instead because of men like Skip.

A traumatic childhood paired with parents who never really cared for her, she spent most of her life looking for a family to call her own to fit in somewhere. That didn't happen until she was held as a hostage by Jesse. He saw past her beauty and saw the raw depth of emotions behind her beautiful eyes and saw how troubled her soul was. For someone who's stated multiple times he's not a patient man, he was absolutely the pinnacle of one.

Gianna carries a lot of shame around her, and when it gets too much, she finds unhealthy ways to deal with them. This is something Jesse had to really work hard to help Gianna with, given his own family history. It's again a testimony to Jesse's character that he stayed with Gianna and was patient enough to see it all pay off eventually.

All in all, it's a really good book. Can't wait to read more books in the series.

Amazing

As usual DD hits a home run with Jaded. This book hits all the feels. I’m in love with her character development and how she moves her storylines with that are well written. DD is one of the very few authors that I’ll buy knowing that I’ll live every word.

This was an absolute rollercoaster. GG tore at my heart and I fell in love with JJ. From a really poor start they fought hard for their love. Lots of ups and downs but they deserve their HEA. Can’t wait for the next one.

Gianna wasn’t a favorite of mine in a few interactions in previous books in this series but she definitely grew on me and I’m so glad she and Jesse’s story was written! And I LOVED that it was from Jesse’s POV!

Such a great story! Can’t wait for the next in the series!

It’s a badly kept secret that DD is my favourite author. Everything she writes is always knocked out of the park.

I’m not going to fib and say that this was my absolutely most anticipated release coming from DD……. But, Now having read Jaded and about Jesse and Gia, I can firmly say that my stance has been changed.

The entirety of the book is male POV, which in itself is refreshing. More than refreshing and honestly needs to be done a lot more! I look forward to seeing if DD brings more books out like this in the male POV. It was a lot of fun and a great change of pace to see the action from the guys side of things. I enjoyed the banter between the male characters from past books and loved reading about familiar faces. It still keeps me connected to the other characters, which is great.

I love how DD writes MC romance. I love how the men are resolute in their feelings towards their ladies and it’s the action with the club that takes the stage for main conflict. To me, that also makes the book more enjoyable. It makes me feel secure while still giving the book what I refer to as the ‘DeeDee Rollercoaster’.

The fact that I feel safe knowing that the book is really about the Dominion Brotherhood keeping their family safe. The J/P side which we all love for each guy and their girl is still VERY much there and is, in fact, heart throb inducing.

But having said that, while I know I’m safe, at the same time, I always know that Dee throws in those emotional curve balls that can give you whiplash. Its something that makes me question the safety every.time! It’s something I didn’t know that I’ve come to crave like an addict waiting for their next fix. I always get severe book funk while I wait for another one of her releases, because she grips you that much as a reader.

Jesse is to die for which is a surprise in itself if you have read the past releases, (side note, if you haven’t read them, then why not? Stop reading this and read her other books in the series immediately if not sooner! Kay? Thanks!) he is perfect for Gia. Who I knew would be a sweetheart. I was always rooting for her in the other books.

The story is grip your seat. It ties in beautifully with the rest of the series and is, in my opinion, a fantastic addition and very, very much a recommended read!

Well done Dee!

Reaching for happiness

Gianna is a 'club bunny' or 'sweet butt', but only because she was lied to. A kind, sweet girl, she lacks self-esteem even though she is beautiful and talented.
Jesse is tasked with watching her after she tells Deke, the 'Prez' of the Dominion Brotherhood, of an outlaw MC, the Wyld Jackals' latest nefarious plans. Jesse served two years in prison over his last girlfriend, and isn't looking to get involved with anyone.
Both are jaded for different reasons.
Running alongside the other Beautiful Biker series, this covers a lot of the action from the point of view of one of the men, giving the reader fresh insights into the activities. It isn't necessary to have read the other books (but you will want to) to enjoy this.
The relationship between the protagonists is carefully defined; their burgeoning romance, and their arguments are acutely accurate in their development. No easy ride, this. Gianna finds it hard to believe in Jesse's care while he struggles to cope with the amount of patience she needs to finally be open with him.
The issues of low self-esteem and self-harm are dealt with delicately, both how they exist and how to overcome them. Rape and violence against women is another topic handled with care.
I loved it, resenting the time I couldn't be reading it.
Now it's a waiting game until book six is out!

Ex-club bunny, Gianna Grace Jones isn’t exactly a friend to the Dominion Brotherhood, but when she’s turns up at Deke’s Roadhouse, with intel that not only saves lives, but clues the Brotherhood into the extent of the threat against them, she’s brought into the fold. As a willing ‘hostage’ Gianna quickly finds herself under the watchful eye of newly patched brother, Jesse James Garcia.

DD’s books are always so incredibly immersive. For the duration of Jaded I felt completely invested in the gentle caress of her world and her words. How the relationship developed between Gianna and Jesse was both honest, and captivating. I adored Jesse’s character, in particular. He was principled, and stoic, intuitive and vulnerable - and above all else loyal. And being a witness to Gianna’s growth, felt comforting and real. DD really does go the extra mile in an attempt to capture all her characters’ facets - by the end you feel like you truly know and understand them.

In my opinion it was the perfect choice to write Jaded from Jesse’s POV - having the club’s and brotherhood’s insights, as well as Jesse’s perspective of significant events from previous books in the series really helped things feel rounded. I felt a significant sense of loss when I finished the book, I wanted to stay in the Beautiful Biker world, even if it was for a few moments longer. And that for me is the true measure of a great read. 💜

I reread the whole series before reading this. I really enjoyed the reread.
It's a long book, well written, loads going on.
The heroine is classed as a club bunny, but she didn't set out to be.
Her association started out with the club thinking she was starting something serious with a man.
Her experiences go downhill from there. In previous books we learnt that she had been intimate with a few of the club members from their books.
Her sister (step) is the girl who was involved in the video that kicked off the huge conflict in previous books.
The Hero is relatively newly patched.

There is ex drama on both sides.
No cheating.
Some serious issues are touched on.

Loads of scenes with previous couples.
Lots of breadcrumbs dropped for future books in series.
And the introduction of another charter that can have its own series.

The series does need to be read in order, it's a couple per book but timeliness for books can overlap and the enemy thread runs from book 1 and parts are resolved as the series progresses.

Where to start with this review... First off be prepared to take one hell of an emotional ride. You will find yourself rooting for the underdog, and you will find yourself wanting to nut punch a few different people.... With this being said you will also find yourself falling for not only Jesse, but dare I say the club bunny who stole his heart.
Gia's story is one of heartbreak. She has found herself at the mercy of the Dominion Brotherhood knowing she may not be welcome there. She has made the decision to do what is right knowing she may not be welcome. Jesse has been tasked with being in charge of her while she is at the clubhouse. Amongst all the turmoil and the outside interference they both find just what each needs. They both carry a lot of hurt and pain with them. They both deal with it in their own ways. Some of the ways are not the healthiest, and will test the bonds that they are working hard to form with each other.
The unique storytelling helps this with the flow. You will find yourself once again immersed in the brotherhood. You will see just how deep their loyalty lies. AND finally you will see what it is like to find your one your other half, and you will see the fight that these two have to go above and beyond with each other. This story is will break your heart at times, but is so beautifully written your heart will sing for them BRAVO D.D. BRAVO!

Amazing!!👏👏

From the very beginning, I fell in love with Gianna. I had no idea where the author would take Gianna and Jesse's story, especially with the club label that she had. But mannn, Gianna is definitely different from what you may have thought from the previous stories when you read about her and Jesse's love journey you will definitely fall in love them both. He became her protector and always spoke up for her. He let her know that she had every right to be who she was and a place by his side. Gianna never let what she's been through change who she was genuinely as a person her heart was pure and I love that about her. This book will probably take you through every emotion but it's is so well worth it.

Hot, sexy. Unable to put down hypnotic.

So beautifully written and easy to read. The words swept me into the world of the Dominion Brotherhood. D.D has a way of pulling you into the world of the Beautiful Bikers with a gentle grip that you don't want to escape.
I loved getting to know Jessie, and learn about his sense of honor, and strength of character. Gianna, the unintentional CW, seemed to grow in substance before my eyes. What a great couple!

I've always love the brotherhood in this series, but also the girl gang who I relate to so much (they're just like me and my friends), and the refreshing, honest humor that makes me laugh so effortlessly is something everyone can relate to.

Loved it!

Jaded (Book 5 in the Beautiful Biker Series) took me
on a wild ride. The story follows the journey of a misunderstood, wounded “biker bunny” named Gia, who is entrusted to and starts to have feelings for a tough and rugged biker named Jesse.

The chemistry between Gia and Jesse is intense from the start, and their love story is filled with danger, passion, and unexpected twists. D.D. does an excellent job of capturing the biker culture and lifestyle, and the descriptions of the Dominion Brotherhood and their interactions and missions are vivid and electrifying.

The characters in this novel are well-developed and relatable, and readers will find themselves rooting for Gia and Jesse’s love to survive the challenges they face. "Jaded” is a steamy but also a thrilling adventure that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Overall, a highly recommended read for fans of biker romances. The story is well-written, the characters are engaging, and the romance is sizzling hot. Grab your leather jacket and get ready for a wild ride with Gia and Jesse!

I thought I would forever be a Fork and Deacon fan, but i have to say i love Jesse! I liked having if from the bikers perspective. In not sure with Gia's baggage and history that this story would have worked from her viewpoint. Cani just say that I am so glad that girl found someone go love her!!! FREAKING FINALLY!!! DD is love of my favorite authors. Her stories have depth,humor, s3x, and more hot steamy s$x. You feel like youve been sucked into this book and you're going go have a beer at the Roadhouse.

Jesse & Gia

Jesse is given the task of babysitting Gia when she come to the club with some information that will aid in taking out their recent enemy. Jesse gives us their story from his point of view and I absolutely loved it. Their story isn't full of violence although their is some it's more about him helping her build confidence in herself as they navigate the feelings they developed for one another as well as the a sense of family. I loved that everything they have been through and sometime away they come full circle to return they family they both love. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book.

Tying up loose ends

This book ties Up characters from prior books. Giving insight on situations or events that have happened. This story in spicy but also dark from the past of these two. Biker bunny that's never wanted to be a biker bunny only an Ol' Lady and the biker that gave up on finding his Ol' Lady.
Love this series of books. Please read from book1 as characters are built upon and relationships develop.
First series I have read from DD Price and I'm hooked on this series.
First 4 books are told from the female POV this one was from the Bikers POV

Child abuse, molestation, parental manipulation, cheating, sexual assault, PTSD, self harm, suicide,

Jaded is Book 5 in the Beautiful Bikers series and let me just say Mercy Sakes I absolutely love the Dominion Brotherhood and every single biker in the club. The hotness is never ending and the storyline gets better and better.

Jesse & Gia are dynamite from the get go. Jesse is a typical biker. Loves his brothers and all the benefits he gets from being a bad boy biker.

Gia is known as a “Biker Bunny” but that’s not what she wanted. Gia is no longer allowed on the Dominion Brothers property but she has information that will save lives. Now that she has given them the information, she needs protection and Jesse is the brother who takes that job. Gia is gorgeous and Jesse is not immune to her beauty. Sparks fly, as well as Jesse’s saltiness, and Gia’s self doubt.

These two are off the charts with chemistry. Jesse is an alpha biker but he is sweet as sugar behind closed doors. Gia has had enough trauma in her life and now she has a protective biker to make sure she never has to go through that again.

I love how DD incorporates her past characters in this book. Deacon, Rider, Spencer, and of course FORK!! I recommend this book and this series over and over. Kudos DD on another fantastic book. So excited for (daddy) Deke’s book!! Bring on the Fruit Roll-Ups!!!

Jaded

Amazing read, so awesome 😎 I absolutely loved Jesse and Gianna’s story ❤️❤️❤️ she certainly had a tough life up till she met Jesse and their meeting wasn’t mutual, he was tasked by his president to keep an eye on her. She rubbed him the wrong way by being between his sheets and wearing his shirts. Until she didn’t and he started getting some strange unexplainable feeling when he was close to her. Everybody needs to read this series, it’s fascinating. Can’t wait for the next book. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
