Keeping this short and sweet in order to not have spoilers but honestly, this book was great. Kept me hooked from the beginning and just when you think you've figured things out there's another twist. I will say that if you're gonna read this you really should read rock the viper first as it is a continuation of the story. It is all I hoped for and more. There were some very familiar faces and some new ones. Once again the characterisation is done really well and Peppa comes across as a much stronger person. There were those I loved and those I loved to hate. The authors writing is clearly evolving and looks like things can only get better for her. Looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.

I could not put this down stayed up all night to read it. Only ended up with 2 hours of sleep before my boys woke up but totally worth it to drag the rest of the day. Juan, Noah and Peppa have such a beautiful connection together love that no matter there binds are entwined. Wasn't really looking to read another vampire series but so glad I bought these books. Can't wait till the next books come out. Really keeping my fingers crossed that all 3 end up together for eternity.

I love where the story opens, It is an immediate rush of emotions that grabs you right off the bat!
All of the characters stay true to form, Just as we remember them. I know that can be a challenge for some as a new installment is added but it was definitely not for you!
I love knowing each of our beloved trio's POV as the story unfolds, it enriches how I feel for them and with them, their fears, love, and devotion makes it real clear it's not just about the lust, this relationship is beautiful in it's own right. And then there is Monica. She is a true friend to Peppa, she is fierce in her loyalty and sisterly love of Peppa. She shines as a supporting character in this story, I for one really like her and am glad Peppa has her in her life.
And then there's the whole Cruz thing. it looks like he has met his entwined and has been fighting it! But if Saul is right and he can't fight it forever.....sounds like another book may be coming? Any way, I loved that whole scene with Cruz and the Cassity brothers brawl that ended with them all three flat on their backs. A perfectly placed piece of humor!
I found it amazing to hear Noah describe what he is going through with the change. I never saw such detail before! It really brings it home how hard it is and I felt like crying for him and wishing it would hurry up and finish so he could gain the control over the blood lust and get back to Peppa. Him missing and needing her is a soul deep pain on top of what he is already going through. And as an observer, I'm watching Peppa waste away with the same pain and Juan, oh poor Juan is second guessing the whole scenario watching the two people he loves more than life itself suffering, and he feels it's all his fault and he won't be forgiven.
I really like Saul's girlfriend Jade, she is a great addition. She has helped Noah, and it's awesome that she is a born Vampire.
And the scene with Dolly is absolutely priceless! LMAO......Just Brilliant!
Laura has done an about face and I've come to really like her as she steps up to plate for Peppa.
I have to tell you that I was having a true full on ugly cry as I read Noah's letter to Peppa. I was so moved, there are no words. period.
I swooned when I read this...."I move my head closer and line my mouth with his. My breath fans his face and he groans as I whisper into his lips, Feel me Noah, touch me, bring me back to life, make me real for you again."
Then with the death of Jacob the story gets real....Really Real.
Juan seems to be broken, lost and consumed by the thought that he's lost Peppa's love and rather than live with emptiness, he is gonna meet the sun! HOLY CRAP......HELL NO! it just can't end like this!
Thank the Gods that Peppa gets to him and opens her heart and bares her soul and gives him the forgiveness he needs, well, more like she beats into him, but who cares! It works! Our Beloved Juan
That just leaves Mommy and Daddy Dearest to deal with. And I really liked that scene.
The scene with "presents" is spectacular, I could see Juan jumping from one foot to the other when Peppa "ripped" the bow off his nipple...BWAHAHA!!!!!
The hot sex through out is, well, HOT!I had happy tears with the ending and her simple "Yes"
I so enjoyed this installment.

Ok! How do I begin? I am not a fan of the M/M genre and that will not change. However, I am not afraid to come out of my comfort zone sometimes as these are the times when you will encounter something that will leave you with a lasting impression. Well, this is what Forever Viper did for me.
I will be totally honest and say that I skipped over most of the love scenes, however, this did not prevent me from enjoying the actual story. I found it to be very interesting and it had me turning the pages as I was curious to know what was going to happen next.
The story flowed and there was never a dull moment. There were some WTH moments and there was one particular scenario I never saw coming. When I found out who was responsible for trying to sabotage Viper I was very shocked. I thought the author handled this quite well.
The connection between Juan, Noah and Peppa was quite intense. I did not like the fact that Juan had lied to Peppa and allowing her to go through such an emotional upheaval. I understood why he did it, but I still did not like it.
Overall, I thought this was a great sequel and I can’t wait to see what next Sammie J has in store for her fans.

I loved reading this story this was a good ménage. This book begin where the first one left off Noah is gone. There is a lot of emotional pressure and betrayal in this story which made it difficult to tell if the love triangle would succeed or not. There are outside forces trying to ruin the band and its reputation. Jacob Peppa's ex shows up unexpectedly and turns her world even more upside down along with Noah's parents who blame her for his disappearance. Juan hates lying to Peppa, but knows he has to protect her. I found myself not liking Peppa because she was weak to me like her panic attacks when she saw Jacob. Viper faces their own problems and we get to see other character relationships start to bloom in book two. I look forward to more books with the characters like Cruz is denying his entwined one Lara who is better in this book and Saul who has Jade and are into kinky sex I look forward to reading that book. This book had each of them going through a lot of emotions and crying. This book was very well written and I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

Loved this book! I've been looking forward for to this release and I wasn't disappointed. I had to put it down to run some errands but trust me it wasn't by choice, I couldn't turn the damn pages fast enough. Juan, Noah and Peppa had me tied in knots until the very last page. What is not to love, hot vampire rockstars and a steamy three way romance!

From the very first page you are dragged on an emotional rollercoaster ride by Sammie J. Juan is a vampire, his entwined Noah and Peppa are not, after coming to terms with their relationship in the first book they face the biggest challenge imaginable in this one. Will their relationship survive the outside forces? I will not post spoilers because this book deserves to be read but I will say it is heart wrenching and dramatic with a heap of angst.

This was a great follow up to the first, Rock The Viper. I laughed, cried, got angry, and hopeful. The story was picked up from where the first one stops and you don't lose anything. If you want a story with everything in it then you NEED to get this book. Can't wait for the next installment! Wonderful job Sammie as always!

Argh, this series frustrates me. I love the story, I love the characters but I really can't get to grips with the three overlapping POVs. Every time I feel the story is moving forwards, back it goes again as it is told from another character's POV. I enjoyed witnessing the conflicting emotions of different characters some of the time but then at others I found it too repetitive and I skim read pages until I got back to where I wanted the story to be.

The premise is still brilliant, vampire rock stars, wow!!! In this instalment, there is a hurdle that has to be overcome in order for the three lovers to be re-united. The relationship between Peppa, Noah and Juan is all consuming and so hot and sexy and I love hearing their inner monologues as they come to terms with Noah's new persona.

Cruz is still being Cruz and Saul has found another vampire called Jade to entertain him and together they work to support Noah. There is also a new delicious treat in the form of Hans but I will let him introduce himself to you.

The big question is will I read on. Possibly because I want to know how Cruz gets on with avoiding his entwined or to read Saul's story but at the same time I hope there will be one less person's POV to contend with.

REVIEW
This book is the 2nd installment in the Viper Series. This a POV book M/M/F

Juan, Peppa and Noah are back and things are not looking good for this love trio. Noah has been in an accident and Juan can save him but in doing so he risks losing both of the people he loves more than life itself. Then we have to add in the ever so hated Jacob you remember him right? Well he is the ex-boyfriend/douche nozzle of Peppa and was apart of Devil Records for a bit until Saul had the task of getting rid of him or so they all thought. Peppa goes through extreme hell given to her by none other than Noah’s parents Oh what a surprise that all is. Add in some comedy by none other than lead singer of the band Cruz and we find out who he is entwined to and wow what a shocker there also.
And Juan’s brother Saul has found love in the arms of a woman who will become a great help to Juan.

This book had me crying , screaming, wanting to murder and sitting on pins and needles hoping.


Can Juan ever get forgiveness?
Will this trio get their HEA ?

Go buy the book and find out. I will say it’s the BEST yet in this series !!!

Forever Viper Rocked Me!

I am a Viper vampire virgin no longer:) After reading Rock the Viper, I just had to see what became of Peppa, Juan and Noah. Ya get pretty attached to them in RTV. I pretty much figured out which way Noah was going (with Juan's help of course) but suffice it to say Sammie J gave us some surprises! I love the swirl of emotions between the characters- albeit it a menage a trois relationship. Each character showed me the depths of their soul with their POVs. Not easy to write in so many POVs but again, Sammie J just keeps getting better and better.
As for the angst that other readers mention? Personally, I love a good angst-y story and FV is just that.
The sex is hot, the story is good and the characters are awesome....oh and that snake tattoo? #loveJuan!

Only expectations you need to go into this book is knowing that it is three different POV. Life changes daily in relationships and in this one that relationship involves three very distinct individuals. There is betrayal, lust, heartache, love, and all the emotions in between when you read this book.

From vampires, shape shifters and mortals; you will find a little amazement in what else can and will happen.

Great job Sammie J. Looking forward to reading more of her work and riding the emotional roller-coaster that she brings to the material.

Man, this was a really great book to read. I read the first book from this series and I really enjoyed it. I hope the author writes more stories of the rest of the Viper band. I'd fall in love with these characters and I fell in love with Peppa, Juan and Noah.

4.5 Stars Sorry there maybe some spoilers...
I really enjoyed this book. It kept me intrigued, the story twists and plot turns were great. The characters were complex, raw and lovable. The connection between the three main characters is amazing. Even the supporting characters are written well and have depth. I loved that Juan, Noah and Peppa were okay and all entwined by the end.

If I'm being completely honest as the same in the first book, although I like the book was written in the 3 main characters POV I still felt like the story's pacing took one step forward and two steps back. We heard the same event described by each character and to me it was redundant and slightly boring. Plus it kept the story from progressing, as it only had new events every third chapter, I found myself scanning those chapters looking for the new information while skimming the stuff I already knew. I thought the author could have told each characters POV without so much repetition. The end had a different pace as she got to the good stuff quicker.

I also have to say I was extremely annoyed at Peppa for not being able to forgive Juan immediately. I get that being lied to sucks and thinking someone you love is dead beyond sucks. But the moment she found out Noah wasn't dead all the hurt should of went away. Juan didn't betray her he was protecting her. She could barely keep it a secret from Lara when she found out for less than 2 days. Did she really think she could have done it for all that time it took Noah to adjust.
Juan protected her from that and from having to watch Noah in all that pain of trying to control the blood lust. I just thought Juan was the most selfless one and she was being selfish by not seeing past her own pain to realize the burden he carried in the name of love for her and Noah. The way I see it, is he had no choice. It wasn't like he was lying to protect himself, like he had cheated and he didn't want her to find out. He was lying to protect her and Noah. He kept the two people he loved safe. And she made him doubt himself, all that could have been avoided had she opened her heart to the truth sooner, had she sacrificed as much for him as he had for her.

Don't get me wrong I did love the story and the characters and if there's another installment I will be reading it. This was my first vampire series as I'm not usually a fan but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the genre. I loved Juan and Noah just little bit more than Peppa is all. I didn't feel she appreciated the love and devotion she truly had in those two men.

3-3.5 stars

This was a good continuation of the cliffhanger left at the end of Rock the Viper. I wouldn't recommend trying to read this book without reading book #1 first. I liked the characters and the story but once again I was struck by annoyance over the writing style (dropping it from 4 stars to 3).

I can't go in to much detail without the review being full of spoilers but book # 1 ends with Noah missing and so there's much drama and angst for the trio in the new book. As the blurb indicates, on top of Noah being missing, Peppa encounters issues from both Noah's dad (who thinks for some weird reason that she's behind his being missing) and Jacob (her psycho ex) being back in town and threatening her. She gets support from her friends but things are difficult and there's some drama between Jaun and Peppa as a result of Noah's being missing and his having to deal with someone trying to sabotage Viper's tour dates (among other things). Things aren't easy for the trio but with some effort (and the appropriate use of force where needed) Juan, Noah and Peppa are able to come through things alright in the end and set out to start their HEA together. :)

This is part 2 of the trio!!!!! I loved the first one and left me kinda hanging now we are back not knowing if Noah is going to pull out of his horrific accident. Is Juan always going to feel guilty for protecting the ones he loves no matter how good his intentions are. I give the book 4 stars because of the POV which don't get me wrong I do love having both sides but it was being repeated too much and that got on my nerves a bit here and there.

I was completely SHOCKED beyond belief who was behind trying to destroy Viper I didn't see that one coming lol and then I wished I could of reached through the kindle and strangle the neck and maybe find an empty grave and drop them down in it. I'm not a big fan of M/M but this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Even though this book is M/F/M, M/F, M/M it was still smoking hot! But one more thing I don't like the name Peppa and let me tell you why! Every time her name was mentioned I would think of the child program on Nick called Peppa Pig and I had to stop and re-read that's no one's fault but my own but I just couldn't help it. Will I buy more on Viper, yep I would just because I love vamp novels!

I had to read this continuation of the first book to see where it all would go and for the most part it was sexy and mysterious like Rock the Viper...but filled with too much angst and emotional scenes for me. YES it was smoking hot in parts and the story was filled with unexpected twists and turns...so if you read the first book you will not be disappointed at all.
The mulitple POVs while really good to get each person's perspective, are still to me, too repetitive and not necessary to rehash over and over again.
I was intrigued with the whole vampire thing in a more adult context (than something like Twilight) and the rocker bad-boys sealed the deal for me to make me really enjoy this paranormal story (which is not my usual thing to read). You're going to need a glass of ice cold water or a good bottle of something to quench your thirst while reading this one...LOL...and maybe a cold shower...just a warning =)

I'm not a fan of first person POV's, but I loved this story.

My only real issue with the book and why I gave it 4-stars is the fact that every scene in the book was repeated 3 times (once for each main character). The repetition got to be distracting. In some cases (I didn't go back to check) but it felt like the different POVs didn't exactly match up. This may have just been due to the author trying to show the different POVs and different key points being highlighted in each POV.

When I finished the first book, I immediately went an bought this book. These characters are addictive and I can't wait to read about the other band members.

I am not a fan of the vampires genre and that will not change. However, I am not afraid to come out of my comfort zone sometimes as these are the times when you will find something that will leave you with a lasting impression. Like in the first book, the story is told by three different points of views each one telling their own side of the story where you could understand each one's feelings but I also found it to be times it was a repeating what I just read. But now I can say I'm glad I give it a chance.

Wow so much better than 1st book..vampires become more of the story than the feeling of an after thought as in the first book. The story is good the characters are good and even the stupid different chapters of each characters pov wasn't as annoying since the story was better. Love Monica and Hans. I would have liked Lara and Cruz to have more of a story in this book but the author is probably holding out for their own book. Sadly unless it's free I won't read it as the writing in each pov becomes repetitive and mundane. No cliff hanger, good sex scenes good price free!! 2.5 stars

The first book in this series got me hooked. I had to know what happened, how the story ended so I promptly started reading this book.

I was saddened by it. The plot was surrounded by huge lies that didn't have to exist (except without the lie there probably wouldn't have been a book). I mean, our heroine would have understood what was going on and then life could have gone on just a little differently but that's not what happened.
I guess I got frustrated by it. Ultimately this series was good. It holds your attention making you want to finish it.

This book was better

It seems that Sammie got better with this one. The first part was still a little frustrating to read but then it just started to flow. I still give it a strong 3 because I still feel that writing the story this way is very hard to get it totally right. The characters grow in this book, with only some of the language being stilted.

I especially love the last part when everything comes together for Juan, Peppa and Noah and the sex becomes steamy. I am not disappointed.

Excellent conclusion
This review is from: Forever Viper (Kindle Edition)
So happy I took the chance to see how Peppa, Juan and Noah's story ended. This second book was easier to read, with great flow and the 3 points of view was greatly improved. This book was very long, took me most of my weekend to read. I could barely sleep last night wondering how it would all turn out. Will definitely look for more by this new author!

Bad. Really bad.

This author claims to have an editor and proofreading team. Sure doesn't show. There are problems with punctuation, usage, tense, and just basic clarity. Decent idea, poor execution, and bad writing. The dialogue is particularly bad, stilted and forced, and actually painful to read. Even free, this story isn't worth the money.

I really liked this series! Normally... I won't read pass the first book...with same characters but, I just had to read the second book to see what happens and how it ends! There were minor grammatical errors that didn't detract from the over all reading experience.
