Hot Rods #4

Rebel on the Run

Rate this book
Love is waiting on the wrong side of the tracks.

Bryce Ellington has been keeping a really big bomb of a secret. And the platinum-blonde detonator is wearing five-inch heels, standing next to a broken-down Maserati.

His fellow Hot Rods have never pried into the past that forced him from the only life he'd ever known, from the girl he loved. But as recognition dawns in Kaelyn DuChamp's eyes-just before those eyes roll back in a dead faint-he realizes he's going to have a lot of explaining to do. And a ton of damage to control.

When Kaelyn's great escape from her controlling family fizzles-complete with a face-plant in the dirt-she's relieved to see the flash of tow truck lights. Then shocked to recognize the man behind the wheel. The best friend she's been missing for too many years.

Once Kaelyn collapses in Bryce's arms, he never wants to let her go. But if she spills his secret, the resulting scandal could destroy everything he and the Hot Rods have worked for, built, and loved.

Warning: Contains abuse of designer heels, bubble baths gone wild, an inexperienced heroine who can kick some serious ass, smokin' hot sex as many ways as you can imagine it...and some you haven't.

Awesomeness

Rebel and the guys do it again. Love the rough and rawness of their love for each other. They protect all that is theirs with a fierceness that only they can deliver.

Terrific writing ! This great addition to the series is so worth reading. I love the deeply thought filled characters, interesting twists and turns, and rich fulfilling emotion. These stories layer on each other, filling gaps and true romance within the polyamory group. The sex is hot and well done. The feelings are so real. I like the reminder of the Powertools crew affections. Those people opened Eli and Alonso's eyes and hearts to the M/M way of life, and help them make the relationships so much more. Bryce and Kae needed the guidance and it was there. I am hooked on these characters, and look forward to more. ENJOY !!

This was one of those stories that I had looked forward to. I enjoyed getting a better glimps into everyone's past and lets face it now that Eli's Dad Tom has found his HEA with Ms.Brown who can complain. I cant wait to see what Jayne has in the future for us with the Hot Rod's crew and the new little hot rod about to make an aprearance.

I have read the rest of the series and it's quite good but there are moments when it's repetitive within each book but great for a short read.... meet the crew!!!!

Rebel on the Run was a passionate, second chance romance. Bryce and Kaelyn's story is a reminder that just because someone seems to "have it all" does not mean they are living a better or easier life than others. In the end, love is what matters the most!
Also, can we take a second to talk about the blurbs for this series? The warning at the end of each of them is clever, creative, witty, and unique. Those warnings alone would have been enough to convince me to pick up this series!

Wow! Quite the reunion!

Kaelyn was at her lowest point when who should appear to help, but her long lost best friend and first love who left her 10 years ago. When Rebel herd the description, he knew who it was. The connection is still there and the chemistry is amazing, is it enough? What about what Kae was running away from? So much hot and steaminess with a really good love story makes for a great read.

Oh So Good!!!

Really liked this book, it was entertaining, steamy and just overall enjoyable. Always love finding out what kind of entanglements Jayne's characters will be thrown into. Love all of the guys and gals in these series so fun to revisit them in each next episode. Gregory Salinas does a really great job narrating all the different voices, etc.

This is a well written Menage story with awesome characters. I read this one in one sitting, I couldn't put it down. Please remember this is a Menage story so if that is not something you enjoy this one isn't for you. I enjoyed this one and I have enjoyed other Hot Rods stories. I would encourage you to get this one if you like Menage stories. This one is worth it.

This was my first read from this author and I really enjoyed it. I like that these misfits found each other and, while they may be unconventional, it works for them and they genuinely care about each other and are a chosen family. I was intrigued by all of the characters and look forward to reading more about them and from this author. I recommend the read!

Kaelyn DuChamps crashes her car near her old hometown, and runs into former boyfriend Bryce Ellington. She's running away from her father, and Bryce and his crew take her in. This book was really confusing with all the names - everyone had a nickname and the author kept switching back and forth between real and nicknames. I couldn't keep anyone straight.

okay read

A good storyline and do like the power tools series. Didn’t take to the spoilt runaway heiress who seemed to vary between juvenile and naive to being an adult. That said good storyline but would like to have seen more bite against the senators.

The storyline went to fast and to easy.
From 0 to 100 in just a few pages.
And the thing with their faster was just to easy.
A bit disappointing for me

Title: Rebel on the Run

Series: Hot Rods bk 4

Author: Jayne Rylon

Genre: Erotic, Contemporary

Bryce has been keeping a secret. A really big bomb. The Hot Rods have always assumed he’s kept quiet about his family because his childhood was the worst of all of theirs. Considering they’ve lived through druggie parents, abuse, abandonment, and plenty more nightmares, that’s saying something.

Respecting his request for privacy, none of them have ever pried past the guarded shadows in his eyes. After all, nearly all of them know what it’s like to live with ghosts of terrible histories. Better off forgotten. But when Kaelyn DuChamp’s Maserati overheats near the Hot Rod garage, Bryce’s two worlds collide and he’s forced to admit the horrible truth.

He’s a rebel. A runaway from an aristocratic, old-money home…or mansion, as the case may be. Owned by parents who never hit him, or molested him, or ridiculed him. After all, they’d have had to acknowledge him to do that.

After convincing Kaelyn his job at the garage isn’t a joke, or a crazy phase that’s lasted a decade, he can start damage control both with his gang and the girl he’d always thought was too vibrant for her plastic existence. She can’t spill his secret or everything he’s worked for, built and loved will disappear. His family wouldn’t think twice about throwing money at whoever it took to shut down Hot Rods just to bring their ungrateful heir to heel.

Physical versus mental. Refined versus crass. Quiet versus talkative. Bryce and Kaelyn are opposites in every possible way. And you know what they say about that…

Bryce can’t believe how easily the princess fits amidst his garage monkey friends. Soon Kae is emulating all their wild ways. With her hair down, the badass Barbie is more than his libido can handle. Shifting into high gear, he tries to convince her to stay down and dirty with him.

He’s willing to do anything to keep her. Even wear the mantle of his deep, dark, totally privileged pedigree long enough to set things straight.

Thoughts: I like this series. Its very different and that's what makes it work. Makes the characters so awesome.

One of the things I love about this series is that while there is a central couple, without the whole group none of them would be complete. The first two books in the series dealt with the same three people so this is only the second of the other guys in the group we've gotten to know and I have to admit if the others are as hot as these first couple of guys I don't think my kindle will be able to handle it.

When Bryce left his old life behind he did it to protect the one person he loves more than the guys who became his family. So when she shows up on his turf running away from the same life he'd left he see's it as his second chance at what he's always wanted. Only this time they aren't teenagers.

Watching Bryce come to gripes with this new Kae and how she will fit into his life is like a ride in one of the hot rods he and the guys are known for. Kae is ready to throw the shackles of her old life off and finally be the person she's always wanted to be, and to be with the one person she's always wanted at her side.

The one thing Bryce never expected was for her sexual appetites to fall in line with his so easily. It throws him for a loop and excites him at the same time.

Like all the other books in this series, there is a lot of hot sex. Which is one of the reasons we love it so much :)

Over all a great installment of this series. I can't wait to see what she does to Holden the next guy to fall.

When you read a book by Jayne you know you are getting kinky hotness will melt the e-reader from your hands, and Rebel on the Run lives up to those expectations in spades!! It will get your motor running, and have you reaching for your boy-toy be he real or battery powered.
Bryce “Rebel” Ellington has buried his past and put it behind him, or so he thought. He has to rescue the one part of his past life he wishes he wouldn’t have had to leave behind. She is all kinds of grown up sexy standing next to a Maserati with a blown-out tire on the side of a country road in the middle of nowhere. But as she recognizes him seconds before she passes out from the shock of seeing him again, he knows the world that he has built will be shook up for good!

Kaelyn DuChamp has just escaped the world of a controlling and powerful father. The last thing she expects is the best friend she thought has abandoned her to be living two states from her. She has thought for years that he was living it up partying with rich and beautiful women in Europe, but he was really building an amazing if not super kinky life here with the Hot Rods. How will she handle the truth of how close the Hot Rods truly are? Will Rebel have to give up this part of himself that he treasures for the woman that still holds the majority of his heart?

Wow oh wow!! Seriously this is on panty melting book!! As much as I love love love love love love love The Powertools Crew, I think I’m falling for the Hot Rods more. These men and women have me in there grasp and will not let go!! Each one of these people are a piece of the puzzle that makes this family. I know the relationships could survive without the dynamic of each other, but I don’t want to be in a world where they have to. I can’t recommend this book and series more!!! Snatch it up!! You will not be sorry that you did! :)

Another book in the Hot Rod series you can expect some sizzling heat in this book. Bryce (Rebel) has a big secret he's been hiding from his friends for ten years. He doesn't have a past like theirs. He wasn't abused or had a rough upbringing the way all others have. He had a cushy life in comparison. When Kaelyn's car breaks down no far from the Hot Rods home base he just happens to be the tow truck guy who comes to help her. Kaelyn though he deserted her 10 years ago when their manipulating parents said he left for a life of partying in Europe. Brokenhearted that he left her and never looked back she can't believe he was right there still in the same state as her all this time. Now he has to decide how to handle her. Let her into his life and tell his friends where he really came from or take her and run. While i loved the idea of both their parents people powerful political people i found it a little to easy for how the handled them. What about the guy who was after her to marry her? I wanted just a little bit more before it all worked out. That cliffhanger ending just tore me up in the end though. Oh how i hate those but it won't keep me from reading the next book darn it! One thing about Jayne Rylon you aren't going to wait a year to find out what happens next. June 24th Swinger Style is slated to release. Can't wait.
