Colson Brothers #2
Daunting Turns
Turner Colson is one of the bigger Colson brothers. He lives off the land bouncing from chapter to chapter as he's needed. He's a mute by choice, and demands privacy when possible, which is why he prefers the solitude of the Colorado mountains if he's not working.
Georgia Pine is a very young and prominent lawyer who's career just took a nasty turn because of a lying client. One bad day sent her to the clubhouse for a good drunk to drown her anger and disappointment. Little does she know the biggest meanest man to walk the earth is slowly falling in love with her as he watches her across the bar...

*WARNING* Gif review with profanities.
I really enjoy writing raving reviews but when a book really rubs me wrong, I’m really sorry to write a bad one. I have to be honest, though and well, thank God for humour!
Starting this review, I have to thank my amazing friend and fellow book junkie, Sharon for pointing me in this book's direction. Girl, you were right... it was horribly awesome!!! This review is dedicated to you.
Last warning: Grab the tequila...
Turner Colson, member of the local Motorcycle Club sees Georgia Pine (I find the fact that I share her name slightly humiliating) at her lowest moment, having lost the biggest case in her lawyer career. He decides that he wants her, so he grabs her, puts her on the back of his bike and ride on to his mountain...
Seriously, that's the least offensive thing that happens....
Turner is a huge man and he is mute by choice. He just doesn't like to talk at all. So at first, before bestowing Georgia, with his gift of talking to her, he kidnaps her with no words...
He is also a huge man (7 feet 350 lbs), because his father wanted to create massive offspring and he was experimenting on his mother with illegal fertility drugs.
Seriously.
Georgia, no matter the kidnapping, wants him and she is turned on by him....
She fights a little, but then goes with the flow, proving what a big girl she is by hunting and killing a deer with a knife. She even guts it...
"Plus the warm blood always smells so good to me. Don’t ask me why, but I love raw fish, rare meat, and the smell of fresh blood. There’s something magnetic about the rawness of it all."
She wins him over... (YAAAAY!!) and she is rewarded with the privilege to enter his mountain palace, which is equipped with the best technology. It’s modern and luxurious and he built in secret...
They are having sex now and we get to hear, how extraordinary gifted in this department Turner is.
"He came deep and I swear my kidney moved."
Because all these aren't enough, he is also into BDSM.
And I hope you haven't forgotten he is also a biker, so when the Club needs him, he takes his woman and his Hummer and he is on to the rescue....
If you think that there is nothing ridiculous in the above statement, I will let you know, that this is the point, where things turn sci/fi, because the Hummer is actually AI.
It speaks, drives, offers advice and makes food!!!! All these in a sexy, throaty, female voice.
No worries, though... He gets his due. His brothers find out that he slightly mistreated Georgia and they spank him. And of course this is so upsetting and undeserving...
Thank God, it all ends well and they forgive/forget/suffer-severe-head-injuries and live happily ever after...
Unbelievable and ridiculous, I just can't stretch enough how much I laughed. If you take this book seriously, it will royally piss you off, so be open-minded and conjure all your humor!

This book was full of crazy sauce but was also oddly readable in a train wreck fashion but I still couldn't give it more than 1.5 stars.
Recap of the crazy sauce:
- The hero is huge, 7' and 350 lbs. He is super human because his father wanted to create some big strapping sons so he got someone to make him a magical drug cocktail that he fed to the various women he knocked up. Not sure why the motorcycle club dad needed super huge babies but ok we will go with it.
- The hero is mute most of the time by choice. He just doesn't talk to people but of course he talks to the heroine.
- The hero basically kidnaps the heroine from a biker bar because he decides she is the one for him after watching her for a few hours. He takes her, throws her on his bike then takes her up in the mountains to live off the land while he teaches her to submit to him. Huh? He sweet talks her by telling her she will do everything he says, take all the abuse his dishes out because he likes to hurt women and if she doesn't like it he will kill her. And she LOVES it. Of course these two crazy kids fall for each other (how could she resist?). Oh yeah, turns out she is just like Rambo and can stalk and kill deer and rabbits with just a knife. Pretty good for a lawyer huh? Oh and we find out later she is a super computer hacker! Yeah but can she cook? (yes! Of course)
- So once she has declared she was his old lady, he takes her to his huge log cabin in the woods that no one knows about, of course after he stores his bike in a handy underground bunker. He somehow built the huge house from scratch and has two random people live there who take care of him.
- Whatever, time for the next batch of crazy - they are called by his motorcycle club to go pick up two people on the run. Ok they just jump into his magical RV with a super computer that is basically artificial intelligence. Because if that type of technology was available, of course you would put it in an RV. Then we get treated to a strange trip around the country while they save these two people, the leads have crazy sex, and the super computer on the RV drives them around by herself (it's a girl computer). Of course our massive hero has a massive member that sounds like more of a torture device than a pleasure member. And he starts bruising her all over because he likes it.
- Then for the next batch of crazy, we go to his motorcycle club where the members beat the shit out of him because it looks like he is beating her (seriously what the hell was he doing to her and how bad did she look?). She declares her love for him but it turns out he liked getting the shit kicked out of him so happy ending all around.
- Whew, almost finished now, the leads fight for awhile then finally decide to get hitched but will never have any babies because he is a freak of nature.
- Oh yeah I forgot - the hero was a cop, in every branch of the military including the SEALS, the CIA, the FBI - when did he ever sleep? Jack of all trades I guess.
I think my review makes about as much sense as the book which is not much :)

So, I never would've known about this book without reading my GR friend's, Melissa, review. It is sooo hilarious...you must read it:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
...and even with all that, I just couldn't resist reading it! It wasn't too bad. I think it was because of Melissa's review that I went in being prepared and not horrified.
What's even worse is that everything that Melissa pointed out is true and it's sooo ridiculous that it's just funny. But sadly, everything is not funny. A lot of parts are just bad...and gross:
That was after she single-handedly killed a full grown deer with a knife! Then gutted it and mounted it's head...WTH?? Oh and we can't forget that she also killed a rabbit with the same knife...throwing it so spot on that it sliced it's head right off!
What's really funny about those scenes is after that, Turner seems almost afraid of her...
“What are you? Some kind of cavewoman?”
So, a little background in case you don't read Melissa's review:
Motorcycle gang member, Turner, who is huge due to his father secretly giving his wife (and other women) fertility drugs to make tall and huge babies, sees Georgia one night in their club bar and decides to kidnap her and make her his old lady whether she likes it or not.
He takes her to his property where they camp out and live off the land (hence the deer/rabbit). All the while he starts prepping her sexually since he is huge and has to work her up to accept him AND...he likes BDSM. (Her 'goodies' were sooo happy! Get used to hearing about her goodies...the author likes to use that term A LOT!)
I won't go into the rest of the story because, again, it's just sooo ridiculous but what I will say is that the beginning IS THE BEST PART!! Yep, you heard that right...don't say I didn't warn you.
I wish the ridiculousness was the only thing that bothered me but it's not. Unsurprisingly, there are a few other things. The way the author writes conversation is so weird! The speech is halting and just didn't flow smoothly. The overuse of question marks (I guess one is not enough), and then when someone is interrupted
The line just stops. I just felt like I was always missing something.
But the best part about this book is Daisy! I love Daisy and I want one!!
Anyway, if you like motorcycle club books, I really wouldn't recommend this one. This is no Deuce, no Horse and definitely no Tack. But if you want a good laugh, by all means, read on...it's a really quick read.
Favorite quotes:
♦ "You have some kind of voodoo over me woman."
♦ "He came deep and I swear my kidney moved." (Seriously?)

“What I choose to do, is none of your concern. I earned you, you’re mine now. Obey me, or you’ll find pain you never knew existed under my hand.” He warned in that same low monotone voice with a sprinkling of anger on top.
***********
“You belong to me now. Are you on birth control?” “If I say no, will you let me go?” “No.” He lifted up and I felt him doing something behind me. When he came back he showed me a condom. “But if you’re not, and this breaks, you’ll find yourself on the doorstep of an abortion clinic.”
**********
He pulled himself free and sat next to me taking his shirt off. He used it to clean up his mess. “You’ll do the wash. I’ll show you what to do. Defy me in any way, and I fuck you until you scream. Talk back to me, and I’ll wash your mouth out with my cock.”
*******
“You’d really kill me?” “Yes.” He assured me, and I believed him.
***********
I had to look to make sure it was still there when he moved down to my stomach. “You like to inflict pain?” “Yes.” He said lifting my right leg and ducking under. He set his chin on my patch and waited for me to look at him. “I’m getting too old for whores and one night stands. I don’t date, and I don’t need any bullshit. I need sex, the way I want it, and I need a woman who does what I tell her, when I tell her.” “And you think that’s me?” “If it’s not, I’ll kill you and find another. Don’t make me do that. You have a nice tight pussy Miss Pine, I look forward to breaking you in.”
Good God!It's only 16% o.O
*********
I’m sick of skinny bitches. You need to eat, put some fat and muscle on those bones. Let’s go.”

4 1/2 stars When Turner saw Georgia he knew he wanted her so he took her and put her on his bike and left. Georgia was terrified of Turner he was big and mean but after some time with him she starts to see a different side to Turner and she's no longer being held against her will but enjoying spending time with a men who never spoke to anyone but talks to her all the time. As Turner and Georgia's relationship grows they live the life of bikers till his brother see's bruises on Georgia and mistakes them for abuse. Now Turner will have to answer to what people think he has done to Georgia. This was a great story of two people falling in love and growing into better people. Turner was the perfect anti- hero in the beginning of this book and grew into a wonderful man who would and did anything to protect the woman he loved and to make her happy. Turner needed Georgia to live and wasn't afraid to tell her that. He was possessive, strong, rough around the edges, smart and a great hero. This is the second book in this series and I can't wait for the rest of this series. Reese Madison has a wonderful voice in these books and the insight she writes into the life of a motorcycle gang was so fascinating I read through this book in no time. I can't wait for book three!

Unbelievable characters. A guy who can talk but wouldn't. I understand that, but not sometimes to the point of answering like an actual mute. He didn't even seem like a man who would prefer being silent - his thought process was too forward and arrogant to convince me he was the man writer wanted reader to believe.
Now the girl - woman Georgia. She was said and showed to be confident, forthright woman of 32. She is a LAWYER, who is brave enough to grab a guy's balls in a club full of people. HOW in BLAZES can a woman like that let herself be treated so flimsily ?
The author's writing wasn't that great either.

Um...this book was all over the place. The main guy was too Neanderthal for my liking. Some editing issues but just didn't feel the story. Oh well.

Bad grammar, missing punctuation, unbelievable characters and story line. This book was bad bad bad. Sorry. I wish I had better things to say.

In my head, I've renamed this book "Ridiculous Turns," or in honor of the great Kristen Ashley I'll also think of it as "Motorcycle He-Man"
I usually finish books even if they kinda suck, but this book flat out blew. I mean, I have finished some pretty shitty books.
But I can't read a book that switches from past tense to present tense from one sentence to the next. This wasn't the random editing error, this was something that happened several times on one page alone, pretty much every page
Besides a mute-by-choice hero and a crass & raunchy heroine aren't my thing.
UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!
Okay, Okay! I went back and finished the book because it's a pet peeve of mine to leave a book unfinished.
And it's so wonderfully retarded! I'm actually glad I read it to the ridiculous end!
OUR HERO:
He's a giant (over seven feet tall) whose father (a former MC prez) paid a woman (A scientist perhaps? It's never made clear) about 50 years ago (yeah, that would be the 1960s) to create a drug that would ensure that his wife and any other women he procreated with would birth ginormous babies. I guess he wanted an army of biker Titans or something, 'cause, you know, that would be really cool.
Unfortunately the drug his father forced his mother to take to create his own Incredible Hulks made it so our poor hero cannot feel any pain or pleasure. He doesn't get pleasure from even sex (although he loves having it all the time for whatever reason). But, alas, it's a miracle! After an entire lifetime of not being able to feel pain or pleasure our heroine has cured him! Just 'cause (there is no explanation beyond this). He can now feel pain and pleasure with her (and only her, though I'm thinking he should maybe conduct a more scientific study and test this theory with "Stacy's girls" aka the club whores).
Also, our over seven feet tall and 350 pound hero is mute because he wants to be, but thank god he eventually exercises his vocal cords for our heroine's benefit. A lot of the time it's to threaten to kill her if she pisses him off or talk about breaking her in real good until she's his submissive.
And, yeah, he's in a hardcore motorcycle club, which is the equivalent for a white man of being a Blood or Crypt, but somehow and some miraculous way he manages to be a former police officer, FBI agent and . . . drum roll please . . . CIA agent. Maybe the CIA wouldn't mind hiring criminals, but that would be a big No-No for the FBI and any police department.
OUR HEROINE: There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere in her supposedly law-school educated brain. Perhaps she got her diploma online? Hers were a series of random thoughts that could be attributed to the not-fully-developed brain of a 13-year-old.
BUT THE BESTEST ABSOLUTE MOST FASCINATING PART OF THIS "NOVEL"?????
Well, Turner and one of his MC brothers (I think the guy was literally a blood-related brother also) developed the world's most advanced artificial intelligence. You got that right, screw scientists of Stephen Hawking's caliber! Leave it to bikers to create the future in technology!
Daisy, the AI program that Turner created and installed on an RV, (you got it right again, he installed this super-advanced technology on a Recreational Vehicle) would give C-3PO, Johnny-Five, Max from Flight of the Navigator and Hal-9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey a run for their money.
Think the Red Queen from Resident Evil (but without the hologram function) and there you go, you have Daisy the RV supercomputer.
Enough of the use of movie reference to ridicule this book . . .
On a final technical note: At some points the author even used both past and present tense in the same sentence. Not good. But I got used to this and was able to keep from being distracted by it most of the time.
On a final hero-related note: Tall, muscled heroes are hot, but I'm not so sure about the over 7 feet tall thing and 350 pounds. It's a little too Andre the Giant for me. Also, I saw ZZ Top in concert when they opened for Aerosmith and describing the hero as looking like a younger member of ZZ Top (though our hero was 48 years old, so obviously not that much younger) is not hot. I don't dig the super-overly-long beard look. Though it may make for some interesting oral sex for the heroine.
Now, when this book was a DNF it got one star from me, but at its conclusion, with supercomputers and super-DNA involved that gave me a good laugh, I'm bumping this gem up to a whole 2 stars!
Let me leave you with one final insight into the minds of Georgia and Turner:
Georgia: "Yeah, I don't feel like being a lawyer anymore . . . I just wanna have sex with my old man." (Yep, that's about it)
Turner: "I like hurting you my love and I'll kill you if you ever betray me my love but I won't bruise you anymore my love because you're curing that need but I'm gonna still need you on your knees as my good submissive old lady my love." (Notice that I didn't use commas where I should have. It's because the author did this repeatedly and I'm choosing to follow her example in both that and the excessive use of "my love")
I usually finish books even if they kinda suck, but this book flat out blew. I mean, I have finished some pretty shitty books.

Daisy, the AI program that Turner created and installed on an RV, (you got it right again, he installed this super-advanced technology on a Recreational Vehicle) would give C-3PO, Johnny-Five, Max from Flight of the Navigator and Hal-9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey a run for their money.
Think the Red Queen from Resident Evil (but without the hologram function) and there you go, you have Daisy the RV supercomputer.
Enough of the use of movie reference to ridicule this book . . .
On a final technical note: At some points the author even used both past and present tense in the same sentence. Not good. But I got used to this and was able to keep from being distracted by it most of the time.
On a final hero-related note: Tall, muscled heroes are hot, but I'm not so sure about the over 7 feet tall thing and 350 pounds. It's a little too Andre the Giant for me. Also, I saw ZZ Top in concert when they opened for Aerosmith and describing the hero as looking like a younger member of ZZ Top (though our hero was 48 years old, so obviously not that much younger) is not hot. I don't dig the super-overly-long beard look. Though it may make for some interesting oral sex for the heroine.
Now, when this book was a DNF it got one star from me, but at its conclusion, with supercomputers and super-DNA involved that gave me a good laugh, I'm bumping this gem up to a whole 2 stars!
Let me leave you with one final insight into the minds of Georgia and Turner:
Georgia: "Yeah, I don't feel like being a lawyer anymore . . . I just wanna have sex with my old man." (Yep, that's about it)
Turner: "I like hurting you my love and I'll kill you if you ever betray me my love but I won't bruise you anymore my love because you're curing that need but I'm gonna still need you on your knees as my good submissive old lady my love." (Notice that I didn't use commas where I should have. It's because the author did this repeatedly and I'm choosing to follow her example in both that and the excessive use of "my love")

UNBELIEVEABLE, BUT A PAGE TURNER
Turner Colson is a man mountain at around 7' tall and weighing in at 300lbs. He's a member of an MC, he never ever speaks to anyone, his choice. Without giving too much away, he sees Georgia Pine at his MC's clubhouse and immediately decides she's for him. Georgia is a lawyer, her father is also a lawyer and is affiliated to the club.
Turner kidnaps Georgia, of course she's furious. But Turner is determined to keep her. Permanently! She apparently is the only person he is prepared to speak to. As the story moves along it becomes more and more outrageous. Turner is a millionaire and has a whole arsenal of gadgets including a talking computer in his RV. It's all very James Bond-ish. There are so many laugh out loud moments in this, the two lead characters are almost like a double act.
First read for me by this author, did I like it, well it made me laugh a lot. It was certainly different. I debated between 3 and 4 stars but plumped for 4 in the end, mainly for the entertainment value.

Enjoyed the first book, and aspects of this one. I'm pretty good at overlooking some foolishness, if I like the general story and characters, enough. However, the extreme threat of brutality from Turner, even towards his lover (and potential baby) put this book in a category I was uncomfortable with. I lost any sympathy for either H or h at that point. When that happens how can you enjoy their love story? I couldn't.

I think Georgia was suffering a case of Stockholm syndrome at one point.

Pretty good
It wasn't bad. Wasn't the best book ever but wasn't the worst either.**spoilers ahead** I did find a few inconsistencies like the fact that Turner called his mom to talk to his dad in one part of the book but at the end she says he doesn't talk to his dad. Also it states that Turner talks to his mom if it's just Georgia, Turner and his mom but at the end his mom states that he hasn't spoken a word to anyone since he was 7 and acts shocked he is speaking to Georgia even though he's supposed to have spoken to his parents on the phone and his mom. That bugged me the most lol

Going to have to say 2.5 stars for this one.
OK so if you can get past the truly unbelievable bits in this book you will probably enjoy this biker read. How she ends up with him, totally unbelievable, why he is like he is - totally unbelievable, super intelligence software creators - totally unbelievable, she just so happens to be a crack pot shot with a gun and knife and comfortable gutting animals but went through law school to be a lawyer - hmmmm unbelievable.
He is a total dominant and really bullies her at the start and parts of that really left me squirming, it didn't feel like nice domination it felt more brutal, so I had difficulting connecting to him for that especially as he was suppose to be well over 7ft tall and built like the proverbial brick s*** house.
I suppose I found this a bit of a train wreck read, I got past all the unbelievable and just found myself wanting to read the rest. Did I enjoy it? For the shock factor probably yes, this isn't for the faint hearted for the weird bits no I didn't enjoy it. So this is very much like book 1 for me, definitely conflicted over my feelings for it. Major overload of really bad typos and even past and present tenses change, this author seriously needs beta readers or proof readers before she publishes any more it won't do her reputation any good if she doesn't. To get stupid words wrong like 'back' was spelt 'bak' a few times, and many more really stupid errors throughout it isn't really acceptable with capable technology nowadays to try to sell something that would have been flagged up numerous times in a word document as mispellings and grammatical errors to be corrected then why the heck weren't they?

Sooo much better! As I've previously said, Reese Madison's first entry in her Colson Brothers series left me wanting more. It left me on the edge of falling for this series head over wonderful heels. But I did I
didn't give up...no I hung in there for book 2 in the hopes of her finding her groove. And SHE DID!
Daunting Turns was rough, hot and just BADASS! It's not for the faint of heart, the male lead Turner is a beast! But Georgia aka Peach, the female lead more than makes up for it. She's tough and not completely a doormat, although to be honest biker babes seem to kinda have to be..at least a little bit. He literally steals her like a piece of furniture, but the dynamics quickly change and you get to witness an animal melt into a loving, sentimental man.
I love a strong, bigger than life alpha male who could never be for real and Turner totally lived up to every dream I never knew I had. He is a 7...yes 7 foot tall wetdream and I love him. I loved the introduction to even more of this dysfunctional family, bith in name and in club. I cant wait to see what happens next and pray that Reece will continue to give us peeks into this family and the Exiles MC.

I loved it. I will for sure re-read but not right away which yes I have done and do do quite alot. I for sure am a fan now and will but keeping an eye out for the next to come books.
I am over the lists and trying to find books with "Biker" books. But most of them are just a dude who happens to ride a bike. I was wanting a biker lifestyle gang style book and I 100% got it with this one.
I feel like with Reese only having written 3 books her style is still growing a bit but hey I loved this.
It's a little unbelievable the whole we're in love now time space but hey it worked.
I am a HUGE fan of the alpha male and I got it in this. He is big, he is controlling he is uncaring, but yet he is and he grows.
I love that they have a special relationship on one else has with him regarding his communication.
All in all it's not freakin charles dickens it is what it is and that why I give my 5 stars, it gave me what I wanted from this type of book

enjoyed this more than Down and Dirty. Georgia, a lawyer, is literally kidnapped by Turner Colson. He is the strong silent type but when he meets Georgia all bets are off.There are some uncomfortable moments- Georgia having to fight Turner off. He is an OTT caveman - telling Georgia to do whatever he says or she will be punished. Turner has a bdsm fetish that goes a little overboard. Due to his size, he hurts Georgia without meaning to. The club calls him on the bruises as they are zero tolerance for violence against women. Turner has to make amends,but him and Georgia do their HEA.

Wow not your average garden variety romance. Some will think this is not love and the beginning of the story skates very closely to the unacceptable, but consider me hooked. This book still has me spinning and the male lead is about as alpha as you can get without having to kill him. The interaction between characters sizzles and just about scorches the retinas ... thank the powers that be this is not a graphic novel or I would now be legally blind.

Loved it I think I liked this better than the first book down and dirty turner sounded like the Incredible Hulk and then u had Georgia who wouldn't stand for any crap she was kidnapped by turner as he wanted her on sight and made her stay with him but by the first week she wanted to stay with him she falls in love with the man who doesn't speak to no one but her his peaches. Loved it as it was different x

Although I have a difficult time understanding how the Colson brothers can fall in love so easily (within a day or several), I do have a better understanding of the men and their "family" now. I was surprised to find I like this book better now that I have this understanding.
February 17, 2013
This ended a lot sweeter than I thought it would. Im going to start calling this series Caveman Colsons. Turner is the epitome of the mountain man at first glance but as we learn more about him and Georgia there is more than meets the eye. Im enjoying the series.
September 15, 2013
This book at the start had me confused but once I started reading it couldn't put it down I really enjoyed how the characters were with each other and how the book played out. Also liked that it kept the previous characters in the book so you got to see what was going on with them.

I was not into this book for to 1st few chapters I was ready to give up but I hate doing that so carried on... So glad I did I found this so much beta than the 1st book CNT wait to start the 3rd x;o)

I almost gave up on this book two chapters in BUT I'm very glad I didn't. I know its only the second book in the series but I liked this one so much better than the first. I'm glad I didn't listen to the harsh reviews and just went with my gut.
Read
June 13, 2016Actually, I got about 75% and I had to DNF it. It was a dragged out story that I struggled to get through. I should've stopped about 30% in, but I was hopinh it would pick up because that's how book 1 was.
Oh well, it just wasn't for me.
