Maxwell sends her to Munich, Germany as part of her work contract.
Will Alain come to his senses and realise he has lost the most precious thing on earth - true love?
Will Maxwell f*cking Grant get closer to Rebecca?
Read why Rebecca wants NO REGRETS!!!
Note to Readers: My sincere apologies to readers who have been waiting for this for a while...sadly I lost more than 75% of the manuscript earlier this year due to a computer crash and its been emotionally taxing to rewrite the book - but it is under way - I promise. I don't want to release the book until I'm absolutely happy with it. I'm hoping the wait will be worth it. Thank you for understanding and for your patience.
Jani is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar on a book - always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through someone else's eyes.
Besides reading, her favorite 'thing' is traveling - she has traveled the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby - Scrapbooking - keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects are her family and her travels.
Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness - arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately desires (in her humble opinion).
She would love to hear from you, please email her at janikaybooks@gmail.com
Wow Beta read this second book and I can confirm the Firebird Trilogy just keeps getting better.
In No regrets we meet some new faces, a sexy Student Doctor and Rebecca's two younger sisters. Rebecca's sister although they look like triplets, each have different personalities and are each drawn to the hot alpha males in this series.
Maxwell fights hard for Rebecca and pulls out all the stops to prove his love to her, however life is never that simple and Maxwell's ex is not giving up without a dirty fight.
Alain also makes his way back to Rebecca, but finds out some soul destroying facts along the way and maybe this time he is too late.
I am not going to go into anymore details, hate spoilers.
No regrets is a gripping read full of drama, hot sex and some very funny moments that kept me hooked and ready for the final book in this amazing series. Another 5* Read from Jani Kay
This book was such a great sequel!!! When the first book ended I was so nervous about what Rebecca would do and I was worried that she would keep denying her feelings towards Max. I understand that she got her heart broken by Alain, but Max was always the one who set her heart and body into overdrive! I loved the drama in this book, I was never bored and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved how strong Rebecca became in this book, she still tried pushing Max away because she didn't think she was good enough, but Max just kept pushing until her got her! The love between Max and Rebecca was all consuming and on fire. They belong to each other. I loved that we saw a different side to Max in this book also. We saw a man who was vulnerable about losing Rebecca. Of course he was still his possessive and demanding alpha male but that what I love about him! The new characters and old characters that were in this book really rounded everything out! I really loved this book and cannot wait until the next one comes out!!! Well done Jani Kay!!
The story continues with Rebecca's story after the devastating ending to the first book of the series Lost In France. I was definitely #TEAMALAIN all the way!
With Rebecca heartbroken, she decides to take it upon herself to concentrate on her life and career. With Maxwell Grant in the wings waiting to pounce when she is free, Maxwell takes it upon himself to do whatever it takes to get this woman on his side.
Throughout the story, Jani Kay brings along a romantic love story between two people that have undoubtedly undeniable attraction for one another, but the romance cannot go unscathed with Alain fighting for what he has lost.
The additional characters certainly with the ex's fighting to keep that once was theirs, different brings a new dynamics to the mix along with a curve ball of no other that changes one persons future! Disappointment and heartache was felt when you feel so bad for a character you understand why decision were made due to influence of family however they now have to suffer the consequences.
Leaving the story opened for Book #3, it will definitely finish of the unpredictable future for all Rebecca, Maxwell and Alain. Cannot wait to see what Jani unravels next. Definitely recommend this series to readers that a romantic love story with curve balls in between.
No Regrets is a fabulous sequel in the Firebird Trilogy! It gives us an amazing combination of sexual energy, passion, self discovery and the uncovering of those deep dark secrets. Rebecca is continuing to push both Max and Alain away. She is certain that neither man is good for her. We are suddenly thrust into a front row seat of just how truly messed up Alain's family is. You the reader are in for quite a ride. Max continues his relentless pursuit of Rebecca and will not go down without a fight! He is a man who always gets what he wants. Max's "wife" Natasha is also back on the scene and she is not ready to give up and walk away. She has quite a dubious plan of revenge up her sleeve. Jani gives us the pleasure of meeting a lovely cast of supporting characters. We have Kurt the sexy protective trainer/medical resident. We are also introduced to Rebecca's sisters. It may come as a surprise to you but even her sisters are attracted to those strong alpha males!!! This is going to get interesting!!!! We have unconvered so many secrets in this second book!!! I can not wait for book 3. Jani did a beautiful job with the characters and their development. This book has it all.....romance, off the charts sexual tension/sizzle, mystery and suspense!!! Nicely played Ms. Jani Kay!!! ~~Michele McMullen~~ I was gifted this book for an honest review
Book 2 raises the suspense and sexual sizzle. Alain, Maxwell, and Rebecca are all back... they all end up in Germany with some shocking revelations and accusations to deal with. I was rooting for Maxwell and Rebecca in Lost in France, though Alain was quite a sexy Frenchman. There was just a spark between Max and Becca that just ignites and flares, but there is the issue of Max's 'wife', Natasha. A 'marriage' of convenience turns out to be inconvenient.
Then there is the shocking discovery made by Alain in France as he attempts to get out of marrying the woman his father, the duke, demanded that he marry. Whoa! That leads to a turn of events that has unexpectedly bad consequences for Alain. I really felt for him. Jani took the story to a new level with this.
I enjoyed that Rebecca's sisters, Lily and Chloe, join her in Germany, though Lily is mistaken for Rebecca, and that has a mixed result. I like Chloe's boldness and her meeting with Alain is a scorcher. Alain arrives in Germany to claim Rebecca, but with so many things that have occurred, he may be too late.
The way this ended has me wanting more! I need the third book now. I will say that I like this one more than Lost in France. I like it when a series/trilogy improves as it continues. I feel for Maxwell, Rebecca, and Alain, and the challenges they are facing.
OMG it was so good to read more from Rebecca and Alain story with a little bit of Maxwell mixed in to the blend.
I missed them so!!!!!!
Rebecca is sent to Munich where she meets Kurt and their friendships blossoms, and he helps to restore her soul, after the turmoil of Alain has ripped her heart to shreds.
I think Kurt would like to see more from their relationship but, the whole time they are together Rebecca is secretly scheming to jack him up with Lily her little sister, who is about to come and visit.
Dramas and tribulations are of course on the horizon for Rebecca & Lily, upon her visit to Munich and we take a surprisingly different turn in context, and the story line gets deeper and so much more intense, with the added visit from the mysterious Chloe, the other sister who is not only a bad ass but also has the same features and similarity to Rebecca & Lily in fact they could pass for triplets almost.
Anyway reveling anything further would give the story line away, but this is a kick ass 5 star read, that I recommend all Jani's fans to grab hold of.
You will love it Jani know's how to bring the characters to life for us
OMG!! Where do I begin with this amazing book! There is so much happening between Rebecca, Maxwell (YUMMY!), and Alain that will have you on an amazing rollercoaster ride! So hold on to your seats and enjoy the ride to an amazing place that only Jani Kay can take you!
I love this book! I could not get enough! I am a huge Jani Kay fan and have totally fallen in love with her books and her. She ALWAYS amazes me with each book because they keep getting better and hotter. No Regrets was no expectation! This book will blow you away and have you coming back for more of this amazing story!
No Regrets picks up where Lost in France left off and will have seating on the edge of your seat. The twist and turns in this incredible book will have wanting more of the characters and story. Once you begin reading will not be able to put it down until you have reached the end.
This is an incredible book/series that I truly love and want more! Jani Kay is an amazingly incredible author that knows how to write a book that will grip you and hold you hostage till the end, but still leaving you wanting more even after you have finished.
I absolutely love all of Jani's books, but this series has become my favorite. I can never get enough of this story and the incredible characters that make up the storyline. You feel like you are part of the story and feel all the emotions of the characters while they experience all the amazing twist and turns throughout the story.
I HIGHLY recommended this book and all of Jani Kay's books. I am definitely wanting and ready for the next book! I can not wait to see what happens next!! I know it will be well worth the wait!!
Will it be Alain or Max? Ladies make your bets! There's a saying that in love and in war everything's valid. Well that saying is in Spanish but whatever...
Rebecca will not be no one's second chance. She left France heartbroken by Alain. Who would willingly become a mistress to a married man that loves you? She totally won't so she leaves to Germany where she will make decisions and clear her head once and for all. Love or lust? I love Rebecca. She is a woman that has loved and has been left down. She gave herself to Julian, Alain and Max and none were sort-of going to renounce to what they had when she gave herself. Now that everyone thought about poor Becca, everybody wants her. Julian was cut loose in the first book, but Max and Alain come after our heroine. Alain, the Frenchman, is the heir of a title in France and he had to marry a bitch to keep the title. He was going to marry a total SLUT, keep his title and try to keep Rebecca as his mistress. I loved him! (I still do) But I wouldn't tolerate being that way so SHAME ON YOU, ALAIN! As heartbroken as I was, I opened my heart to Max, my other love. I totally won't judge Rebecca for being confused.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
If you love alpha males, plot twists, hot sex, and a modern day love story, this is the book for you.
I am in love with Maxwell Grant. I fell in love with him the minute I read about him. This book had me cheering for him that he was going to get his happily ever after with Rebecca(even though it should be me lol)
This book takes place in Germany a few weeks after the Frenchman Alain chose his heritage over his love for Rebecca. This book also gives us a taste of her sisters Chloe, Lily, and new friend of Rebecca's Kurt. I was excited how the author Jani Kay had Ryder and Jade in this book as well. I love how they all seemed to fit perfectly together.
This book has it all, danger, love, hot sex scenes, drama, and so many twists that I ended the book and looking at my Kindle wanting more and needing more.
Alain, and Natasha(the "wife" of Maxwell) will stop at nothing to keep Max and Becca apart. I just hope that Rebecca can be more like Chloe and not be so cautious.
Jani Kay has brought me to my knees impatiently waiting for book #3.
I was given an ARC for an honest review and I LOVE it!!!
This book picks up with Rebecca in Munich working. We meet a hot young intern who works as a bartender and physical fitness trainer, Kurt, who befriends Rebecca. Lily comes to visit and decides to go out alone one night. Things turn into a disaster for her since she looks like Rebecca.
Max does all he can to prove his love and shares his biggest secret with Rebecca. But things are never easy for Maxwell f**cking Grant.
Alain decides he still wants Rebecca and finds out some secrets himself concerning his father and Valerie. He sets out to find Rebecca and meets Chloe another look alike sister. Things heat up but he wants Rebecca.
There are a lot of twists and turns in this modern day love story and I couldn't put it down. I read it in one day and was wishing for the next book!!!
I recommend this story to anyone who loves hot alphas and a modern day believable love story. You NEED to read book 1 Lost In France to not miss any of the plots and twists!!
Loved it, loved it, loved it. We have waited some time for the 2nd instalment to the firebird trilogy. Let me me tell you ladies, it was so worth the wait!
With a heart broken Rebecca at the end of lost in France, I had no idea where Jani was going to take us on this adventure. Well let's just say that it was full of twist and turns and plenty of hot passion, but with teasers having shown both Maxwell and Alain on the scene fighting for what they want, which way will Rebecca turn? Oh, and not forgetting the hot, built and blonde Dr Kurt. Too many men and not enough time. What's a girl to do?
I wish for this to remain spoiler free so I won't say much more. I have to say that the character development over the books along with Scorpio MC books is fabulous. You can read this series on it's own but the riches you gain from reading the MC books as a parallel is amazing. No spoilers, but it adds great depth to the characters stories.
Continuing the story of Rebecca's love triangle. I couldn't believe some of the things that were going on in this book!
Alain totally fucked up and I'm glad because he started to become a little bit cheesy. He didn't really think through his actions and realise how they would affect Rebecca.
Rebecca actually, once again, gave into her heart and let herself be woo'ed by Maxwell. She was strong enough to make decisions about what she wanted and that was good to see. She's a runner, but she realised that she can't keep running. Sometimes you have to stand and fight for what you want.
This book was another 5* read. I loved the exes trying to stick the boot in. I enjoyed watching Maxwell trying to get his girl. I also enjoyed watching Alain trying to win his girl...although he totally deserved a beating for the car incident with Chloe!!
All in all, a brilliant read, very well written and edited and, quite frankly, a book I would read again and recommend to others.
No regrets picks up in Munich Germany. Rebecca is heartbroken and unattached at the moment. Of course she meets a man who is unattached as well, but then max wants her in NYC and she hops a plane. I won't post spoilers but there are some twists and turns along the way. In the end Rebecca is faced with a love triangle, and in my opinions chooses correctly! Anyway I had NO REGRETS after reading this!
At the end of Lost in France, Rebecca’s personal life is in ruins, so being in Munich on business is exactly what she needs to try to get over her broken heart and move on from her affair with Alain - a situation that left her once again feeling like she’s never the ONE for the men she falls in love with, which is what she desperately wants to be and find for herself. But it’s also something that she’s starting to believe isn’t possible because she’s always surrounded by endless complications when it comes to the men she grows to have feelings for – they always end up being unattainable due to secrets they’re hiding, which then ends up destroying Rebecca and her quest for love even more. Through the world wind romances and stunning revelations, Rebecca’s boss, Maxwell Grant, has always been the one she desperately craves but can never have, despite his constant flirting and mixed signals. But when Max is finally ready to stop living a lie and tell Rebecca his secret, will she put everything on the line once again for a man who can do more damage to her than anyone before him, or will she walk away from him, knowing that it may be the biggest regret of her life?
I’ve been waiting for Max to get his head out of his ass and claim what’s been his for the taking for quite some time, so I’m glad that he finally realizes what’s been standing right in front of him. I never thought that Alain was the one for Rebecca. Despite how much she thought she loved him, there was never the same spark she’s always shared with Max. That doesn’t mean that Alain is out of the picture; he finally realizes the mistake he made by letting Rebecca go, and he wants her back, but it may be too little too late. Both gentlemen vying for Rebecca’s love still have their past to contend with as “Mrs. Grant” is not going to go down without a fight, and Alain’s ex-fiancée is looking for payback and wants him to suffer. Both Max and Alain are still dealing with the fallout at the end of Book 2, and it’s quite obvious that they’re going to be put through the ringer before they’re finally free of the she bitches that have had their claws in them for quite some time. What does seem to be pretty clear by the time No Regrets ends is that Rebecca has made her choice on the man who holds her heart, and even though their path isn’t going to be without its rough patches, she trusts that the love they share will endure as long as they can be open and honest with each other.
In No Regrets, Rebecca really comes into her own. She may have had her heart trampled on, but she’s not going to stop fighting for the things that she wants in life. She won’t blindly commit her heart again until she can trust the man she chooses to not break her, and while this is easier said than done, she doesn’t want her heart to get trampled again, so even if it means running, she won’t allow herself to give into her desires until it’s clear that the feeling is mutual.
No Regrets is a steamy and drama filled read that will leave readers impatiently waiting for book 3 to see how everything plays out. Jani Kay does a fantastic job of allowing readers to gain some understanding of both Max and Alain by getting their perspectives first hand, and even though they haven’t always made the best decisions, we can tell that the love they have for Rebecca is real. Readers also get to meet Rebecca’s sisters in Book 2, and the three beauties together are something to behold. Even though they are brought together for less than desirable reasons, Rebecca, Chloe, and Lily are all forces to be reckoned with, and men better watch out! Will Rebecca continue to live her life with no regrets, or will the media craze that now surrounds her life be too much for her to take and leave her running again? Readers will have to wait for the untitled Firebird Trilogy #3 for answers to that question and so much more.

4.5 poison apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
Reviewed By Donna Elsegood on behalf of Kindle Friends Forever.
This is the long awaited second book of The Firebird series and I for one, was very pleased to receive a copy to review one of my favourite author’s works. The story follows on from book one with Rebecca nursing a broken heart. Rebecca is an Australian who works for Maxwell Grant. She was working in France where she had a love affair with Frenchman Alain which ended abruptly. Now Rebecca is working in Germany, and seems to be on a self-destruct mission going from bar to bar drinking herself into oblivion. It is in one of these bars where she befriends barman, Kurt. Studying to become a doctor, there is a connection between them but not a romantic one.
Maxwell is an astute businessman. Even though he wants Rebecca, he has his own set of complications which does not bode well with her. However, she has an attraction towards him. Max summons her to New York for a charity event. She stays at his house where he makes it clear how much he wants to be with her. But Rebecca is in a dilemma! Why she is reluctant is something that I cannot reveal in the review since it would give away what we have learned about Max in Lost In France. Rebecca does what she does best and runs straight backs to Germany. She also hands in her notice as she cannot work for Max with this constant attraction and his baggage. She feels it is an impossible situation and the only way to resist the temptation is to get as far away as possible.
Alain is still in France, still wants to Rebecca, but something of utmost importance has been brought to his attention by his father. If he had known this before, a heart-breaking split-up could have been avoided. So with this in mind, he decides to go to Germany to claim the only woman he has ever really loved. Rebecca is the object of two men wanting her at the same time and makes life very difficult. Max stays away from her so he can resolve his personal issues, and in the meantime, Rebecca is happy to find out that her baby sister, Lily, is coming to Germany to celebrate Rebecca’s impending 30th birthday.
We are introduced to some new characters I’d eventually like to see side stories of. Lily, Rebecca’s baby sister, and her other younger sister, the flighty Chloe who certainly intrigued me. Not forgetting the handsome German Dr Kurt.
There a lot of twists and turns in this brilliant book which obviously I'm not going to spoil for you. It involves love lost, love found, and a tragically violent event that shapes the story. Rebecca’s world is spinning out of control, only making me more than impatient to read the next instalment. I have no idea what will happen, or if this incredible story will end how I would like it to. I do know as a reviewer, I have to be impartial; as a reader I confess that my loyalty lies with Max. Very well done Jani! You have offered your readers a really enjoyable read.
Well, I have to admit that I was hooked on the works of the inimitable Ms Kay after falling pretty damn hard for Ryder in the Scorpio Stinger Series, because boy was that one bass ass man that I would give my eye teeth to get my hands on and through that book, I became aware that Ryder had a brother, well Maxwell couldn’t hit my kindle fast enough !!! So I bought Lost in France, the first in the Firebird Series and loved getting to know the delicious Maxwell Grant!!(Not quite as much as Ryder but good lord this guy can hold my attention any day!!!) No Regrets is the much anticipated second book in the series and I have to say like all of Jani’s books, it was worth the wait! Following on from the first book, Rebecca has moved on, she has left France and is in Germany and doing everything she can to put her romance with Alain behind her where it belongs, ingesting alcohol like it is going out of fashion, friendships forged and relationships drowned, Rebecca heads across the Atlantic back to New York when her boss Maxwell requests her attendance at a charity event Maxwell is a determined bastard because he is far from shy about letting Rebecca know that he wants to be with her but for reasons best left to Rebecca to explain, she heads him off at the pass, severing all ties and taking off back to Germany. Faced with two men in pursuit, after Alain has a change of heart and determines to make her his again, Rebecca has her hands and heart full with emotion. While Alain puts himself directly in her line of sight, Max resolves to remedy his issues alone before burdening her with his baggage. I loved Max’s resolve, his determination to set his stall straight and to deal with the craziness that he needs to clear the decks before he attempts to win Rebecca but Alain, showed passion for her that is difficult to ignore... a choice between them would be almost impossible to make but I have to say that I am beginning to form a soft spot for the ever so slightly serious Maxwell Grant!! Rebecca’s life is lifted slightly when her sister pays her a visit in celebration of her birthday. Lily was a fabulous character and along with the youngest of the brood – Chloe, we have character fodder for a few more instalments of the series – I would love to see what happens with the girls? Nothing is straight forward with the book and nor should it be, it has enough plot twists and ministrations to keep you turning the pages, until you finally reach the end only to wonder what the hell! It has it all and leaves you gasping for more... I cannot wait to have the next book, to perhaps have a resolution and to maybe have the conclusion that I have my fingers crossed for. Yet another superb piece of writing from Jani Kay, emotionally astute and creatively precise, No Regrets will leave you in no doubt that for every moment you have spent invested in the book, you will have just spent time under the guidance of a master wordsmith!
No Regrets Book Two of the Firebird Trilogy by Jani Kay
Sexy, Sultry, and Stunning! This book will keep your attention from beginning to end!
“No Regrets” is named properly, because you will have no regrets reading this book. Following where “Lost In France” left off. It is the story of Rebecca. Rebecca is an independent, heart broken woman, who put her trust and love in the hands of men in the past, who have taken her for granted. She wants a relationship where she is not second fiddle. She wants the love and respect of a man, not to be left when she does not fit in with their life plans.
Maxwell is an Alpha male with a capital “A.” He is a demanding business leader, a man who came from dire circumstances but was able to become extremely successful. He has used women in his past in order to meet his needs, including his wife. He is offering Rebecca his world, but will he ultimately be willing to give up his marriage and possibly business standing in order to be with her?
Alain is a man that looks perfect on paper, but he did not make Rebecca his priority in the past. He expected her to stay as a secret, instead of being his wife and lover in the public eye. Raised in a life of privilege and status, he was unwilling to give this up for the love of his life, but now that his circumstances have changed, he wants her back.
“No Regrets” is not just the love triangle of Rebecca, Maxwell and Alain. It is also the story of three fiery redhead look alike sisters with their own individual personalities, and their own desires to find love. Although Rebecca is the lead character in this story, her sisters Lily and Chloe. If Rebecca is the overachiever Phd successful business person, then Lily is the lovable little sister trying to climb out of her sister’s protective shell. Chloe on the other hand is the extremely self confident and sexual sister who takes what she wants and lives life on her own terms. Both of these characters are very likable and this writer is hopeful that their stories will be told in the future.
I highly recommend this read, as I do book one in this series “Lost In France.”
So as you can see my rating has increased with No Regrets. I am thoroughly enjoying my ride with Becca, Max And Alain. One things I have got to say - there's a massive dancing jig going on from me with what goes on in this book. I'd already told my buddy Rob what I wanted to happen at the end of Lost In France - and Rob I'm shouting YAY my wishes came true! Uh herrrr Uh herrrr lol ☺
This book had the same oompf as book 1, there's enough 'oh no what's going to happen next' to sate the best of romance readers. The text does still have that edge of icky sweet sometimes but heck I don't care, I am loving the story and the triangle between them all. The choices and decisions that are being made and the nasties that are coming out of the woodwork to throw ice all over what would otherwise have been straight forward paths. I totally agree with Rob about the Chloe car incident! What the hell was that man (and her come to think of it) thinking? Well that's just it he wasn't 'thinking'. And Chloe sorry hun I have no respect for ya! Leftovers Lover that's what I'm gonna call you! Coz seriously woman have you no pride!
I am definitely intrigued as to where this is going next, whose behind the attack? What is Natasha going to do? Is Alain's fate sealed and hows he going to prove his innocence over his Dad? Is Maxwell going to stick with his decisions and fight Natasha's allegations? But most of all is Rebecca going to stay or is she going to run?
Cannot wait! Please Jani, don't make this a long wait, latest Jan/Feb please for all those that cannot cope with timespans between books! And that would be me ;0)
I received a copy of No Regrets in return for an honest review. My reviews are my own and are 100% honest.
Finally, more of Rebecca's story is here. I was itching to read this because if anything, I needed to learn more about Max. Move over Alain, you are definitely an appealing character, but no match for Max when it comes to Rebecca. Not only is there more of Rebecca, Max and Alain, but also Rebecca's sisters Lily and Chloe. Although I was not a fan of Chloe because of her personality, I adored Lily. Max shares his side about what drew him to Rebecca, how he really feels about Natasha and just how far he would go to make Rebecca his. The ironic part is that Rebecca has always wanted to have a man make her his everything and the one man who does makes her run away. I understood where she was coming from, but for goodness sake, this was Max! Their chemistry couldn't be denied and he wasn't going to play any games or beat around the bush about it. And for all the trouble she gave to him, Max still went after her because he's that guy for her and I loved him even more for it. Truthfully, Rebecca is a total pain in the rear for him to pursue, not that she isn't worth it, but she makes everything more difficult than necessary in order to guard her heart - and she wasn't like this at all with Alain or Julian. Alain mans up and goes after Rebecca, too, and I felt bad for everything he had to go through back at home. In my mind, he was a little too late in prioritizing Rebecca but I'm glad that he did anyway because it was an important character development point for him. There's interesting twists in the story that could lead to stories of other characters. I'm just relieved that Rebecca made a choice about who she wants to be with and committed to staying and fighting for that person.
In No Regrets we get the ongoing saga surrounding two very dominant men vying for one woman desperate to find her own way in the world. Rebecca has left France and is now in Germany where her problems have followed, but now Rebecca has the added distraction of her sister Lily and the action that occurs after Lily's arrival.
Rebecca is not as malleable in No Regrets and her stronger personality comes through more. I enjoyed that Rebecca tries to take back more control this time around. In Lost In France I felt that Rebecca was too overwhelmed by Alain and Maxwell. The instant lust and immediate physical interactions between Rebecca and both men was a bit jarring at first. Even with Rebecca's need to disengage from her previous life and relationship in Australia I thought her engaging in what she did with Alain right off the bat was a bit too much.
The story doesn't end here and we'll just have to wait for the final book in this trilogy to see how things play out for Rebecca. I go back and forth as to who I want Rebecca to choose so I am glad that I won't be making that decision in the end! The Firebird Trilogy is a well paced, erotic read that provides the twist and turns needed to keep you reading on and anticipating the final installment.
**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.**
This is Book 2 in the Firebird Trilogy, sequel to Lost In France. It does not have an HEA, hence book 2 in a trilogy!
In book 1 I really felt bad for Rebecca for her luck in men. I wasn't completely sure I who I wanted her to end up with, Alain or Max. I can definitely tell you now that I am NOT happy with Alain. But I am not going to say any more on that subject, you'll just have to read it to find out why.
This book starts with Rebecca in Germany for work, in a bar drowning her sorrows over Alain & Max. There she meets Kurt, the bartender, who takes her under his wing. They develop a friendship although in the beginning Kurt seems to want more. But Rebecca knows she isn't ready for anything else & her feelings for Kurt are more brotherly. Which is really good because when her baby sister, Lily, shows up She & Kurt really hit it off.
One of the things I liked the best about this book was that we get to know Rebecca's sisters better in this book. We also learn the truth about Max's "marriage" & there are some major developments with Alain.
I loved this book & can't wait for the final installment of the Firebird Trilogy!!!!
This book was such a great sequel to Lost in France!! The heart break that Rebecca goes through is very sad and I felt so sad for her. She thought that she found love, but she was wrong. Rebecca was such a strong woman in this book. She definitely evolved in this book. She knew what she wanted and instead of running like she always did she fought for it, for him. Maxwell Grant, oh I just swoon saying his name! He was protective, possessive, loving, sweet, HOT, and so deeply in love with Rebecca. He never backed down from chasing after Rebecca, he wanted her, he loved her, so he fought for her. Their chemistry together is off the charts. She may have loved Alain, but with Maxwell, her love for him goes down all the way to her soul, she has truly found her soulmate. Maxwell's love for Rebecca is the same, he is changing his whole life for her and it doesn't matter to him, because as long as Rebecca is by his side, he can and will do anything, especially for her and their life together. This book was so well written and I cannot wait for the third one to come out!
This book picks up right from where book 1 finishes.
Rebecca is on route to Germany to try and battle another broken heart. Maxwell decides enough is enough and is prepared to win Rebecca no matter the cost and Alain realises he made a mistake in letting Rebecca go.
I never took to Alain in Lost In France and it has to be said, I still haven't warmed to him but maybe that's because I'll always route for Rebecca and Maxwell. Maxwell just seems like a much more genuine character and I couldn't wait for Rebecca to see the light.
I really don't want to say more as I loathe to leave spoilers. What I can say is that No Regrets is full of everything you need to keep turning the page. As well as the super hot sex scenes, No Regrets is full of drama, mystery and suspense. I would happily recommend this and can't wait for the conclusion to this story.

No Regrets (Firebird Trilogy #2) By: Jani Kay 5/5 stars
Rebecca has left France and is now working in Munich, Germany and is nursing one hell of a broken heart! Alain had offered her the world, even a ring, but in order to inherit his title of nobility, his father the Duke was forcing him to marry only nobility, a Countess, to be exact. And she also had a ring and was engaged to Alain. Then he told Rebecca that he still wanted her and offered for her to be his mistress. But Rebecca refuses to settle for less than what she deserves and is glad when her job takes her away from the handsome Frenchman.
The other man who wants to be part of Rebecca’s life is none other than her married boss, Maxwell Grant. But Rebecca also refuses to be his mistress. She wants and deserves to be loved and to be the only woman in her man’s life. But all may not be as it appears with Maxwell and his marriage and Rebecca’s cousin Jade begs her to at least hear him out, that there is no harm and if she doesn’t like what he has to say, there is no harm done & things will stay as they are.
Luckily, Rebecca makes a friend in Munich who is a handsome German man, but I was really glad that the author didn’t try to make him into a love interest for Rebecca which would further complicate things unnecessarily. Rebecca is at a time in her life where she just needs a solid friend that she talk things through with, one she can lean on to get through the tough times and one who doesn’t have any romantic interest in her.
Alain finally realizes what a mistake that he made letting Rebecca go and is willing to give up his heritage if she will take him back and let him rebuild the trust that he broke. But he will have to confront both his father and his fiancée, the Countess. He’s torn because he feels that he will be letting down his family heritage, but he already feels like he is letting down his mother by not being with the woman he truly loves.
There is a lot of drama in both Maxwell and Alain’s personal lives and there will be a lot to sort through. No matter which one Rebecca chooses, she will have to be strong to stand by and give support to her man. And Rebecca does choose one of them, so we aren’t left on a cliffhanger.
We do get to meet Rebecca’s younger sisters Chloe and Lily and there are a couple cases of mistaken identity, so we know why Rebecca has said before that they could have passed for triplets. And there is possibly a love interest for both of the sisters.
The only gripe was that when one person met another, that same day they talked about how they constantly thought of this person and when they were around them it was like a light lit up their world. Really those words are for a longer period of time. I would have preferred if the author would have gone with the instant attraction and mutual spark. But I’m very excited for the final installment in this series.
This is Book 2 in the Firebird Series, You must read book 1 to understand what is going on in book 2. Though it intertwines, you don't need to read all of the Scorpio Stinger MC Series, but I advise that you do as some of the characters make appearances. (Another fantastic series by Jani)
I was so excited to finally read this book!! I read Lost in France (Book 1) some time ago and have been anxiously awaiting this installment. And it was definitely worth the wait!
Jani out did herself this time around!
I fell in love with Max all over again. His sweet, sexy, possessive ways make you want to be on the receiving end.
Max and Rebecca start off on a rocky foot, again. Rebecca has a lust - hate relationship with her sexy boss Max. Max can't get enough of Rebecca, he would put her in a bubble on a pedestal if she let him. From the moment he laid eyes on the fiery red-head, she has been on his mind and he will do everything in his power to make her his. And being a wealthy businessman and her boss, he's pretty powerful.
Rebecca is in Munich for work purposes, here she meets the handsome bartender/doctor Kurt. Rebecca and Kurt develop a friendship that helps Rebecca get through her heartbreak from the sexy Frenchman, Alain.
Max decides Rebecca is worth all the publicity and gossip he will be on the receiving end of when he takes the steps to prove himself to Rebecca. To prove to her how much she means to him and what he is will to give up to have her in his life.
Can Max show Rebecca just how much he needs her, not just in the bedroom, but everyday in every way? The dominant Max needs Rebecca to be his air, his life. Will she be able to let down her walls and let him love her, own her?
Will Rebecca be able to reciprocate or will she run again?
What happens when a hidden danger comes to light? Will Rebecca be able to protect her loved ones?
This is one of my favorites love stories this year! The sex is hot and the electricity between these characters is amazing!
My 4 star review: Jani Kay did an amazing job with this series. I loved the way it flowed and kept you wanting more. This was a great sequel to the series and I am sure this is a great segway in to the third book in the trilogy. We met some new characters in book 2. Like the lovable hottie doctor Kurt and Rebecca's lovely sisters. I am hoping to get more of them in the third book. I love that this book picked up were book one left us with Rebecca in Germany. This is where she meets Kurt and is trying to mend her heart from what Alain had done to it. Rebecca takes quite a journey in this book and I was happy to go along for the ride. She comes in to her own and finally goes after what she wants. I loved the twist with the love triangle because I truly didn't see the ending happening the way it did. It was a great surprise to finally see a book end on the unexpected. I'm just glad she got her head out of her ass and went after hottie McHotterson. The passion the 2 of them shared was off the charts. Yes she may have had hot love with Alain but when she finally let her guard down and decided that Max was the one. You just couldn't help but scream and yell thank god. Trust me in the first book I could have strangled him for getting in the way of love but after reading No Regret I love him for all his arrogants and really fighting for what he wanted. There are so many other things that happened in this book and I can sit here all day and talk about it. Go one click today and get ready for some hot and steamy mixed with a little turmoil.
