Two worlds collide. Their families are determined to tear them apart.

Will their polar opposite worlds destroy and rip them apart forever?

Jani Kay

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

If you're a fan of MC series this is a must read, Jani Kay delivers the heat! And what a steal, your getting two books plus never before seen chapters, don't pass up this amazing deal!!

This is my first time reading a biker book and I must say I have been missing out if they are all this HOT. This book captured my attention from the first page and I was hooked. The storyline is unique and the characters are strong yet flawed in their own way. Ryder, our sexy dirty mouthed biker is dark, raw, and gritty. Jade is our smart mouthed, strong minded, successful career woman. When they're worlds collide the chemistry is felt between the two, but will their differences be to much to overcome? I can't wait to read the next book to discover how it unfolds!

Since reading the prequel, Scorpio Stinger MC Prequel: Ryder, I have craved more of the sexy,dirty talking, alpha male biker Ryder. Jani Kay has definitely satisfied the craving and delivers so much more with Two World's Colliding! This book is a sizzling scorcher, that not only brings the sexual heat but also has an excellent storyline that captures your attention from the beginning and holds your interest until the very last page. As the story unfolds we learn so much more about Ryder and Jade's families, their past, and all the obstacles they must overcome. I found myself devouring the pages,eager to know all the connections, how everything would tie together, and what outcome lay ahead of Ryder and Jade as their world's collided. In Jani Kay fashion the ending has left me yearning for more and I can't wait to get my next fix of the Scorpio Stinger MC!!!

Ryder is a thirty something MC Vice President of an LA club. Jade is a 22 y/o law school graduate. They meet when Ryder rents a house from her uncle's rental company. At first, Jade looks down on him as biker trash. Ryder is appreciative of her body and finds her mouth and attitude hot. Only problem is Jade had a vision for her life and a checklist for her future husband. Biker not being anywhere on it.

I enjoyed the premise and the price was right so I took a chance. It is highly reviewed on Amazon and GR so, why not. Well, the writing started out really well but declined as the book wore on. Early in the book I realized this was going to be more narrative than I like, but was intrigued enough to stick it out and finish. I ended up skimming a good bit because the "telling" with all the inner musing was tedious and boring. I just don't like to be spoon fed a story or talked at; I want to on over and learn.

The dialogue, sparse as it was, also degraded. Point in fact the conversation between Jade and her brother; it was awkward and fake. I had a hard time picturing the scene playing out with Harrison saying those things in that way.

Also, towards the end Ryder went from super tough guy to spouting things I didn't think most normal guys would say, much less a " your my bitch" biker.

I would say 2.5 stars on this one, so I bumped it up. I am thinking that this author could really spin this tale well with more experience and maybe a different editor? Again, I really liked the premise and I think this author will grow into an amazing story teller. This just wasn't it for me.

Juvenile conversations and inner dialogue.

I enjoyed the concept; Romeo and Juliet and trying to figure out if they loved each other enough to make it work due to different backgrounds. Nice story; totally juvenile dialogues and conversations. I found it incredible distasteful the constant references to "bitches" and "pussy".

I do not think that a person can read a MC book without those references; however, it becomes tedious and tiresome to constantly read these references either through conversations or internal dialogue. Are these characters adults with some intelligence? In addition, why is it that female writers need to write in such a way to convey a particular lifestyle? Being alpha, badass and hot does not mean that they need to be mental midgets and if the author believes that is the case, I do not need to spend my money to buy their book. Are these terms used, of course; however, excessive use crosses that line of cute and sexy to moron which totally detracts from the enjoyment of the story.
I like the style of this author, minus the excessive use of certain words, and will check out her next book to see if this is her style. By the way, I hope that the author is not planning a book on Lexi.....do not think that the character can be redeemed.....talk about a total skank.

I could only get through Ryder and the very beginning of Two Worlds Colliding. I don't think the premise is bad, per say, but the execution is meh. Here's my main problems with it:
1) In Ryder, Jade keeps alluding to that tragic night that scarred her and her brother so badly. She does this SEVERAL times. It's a bad narrative trick that's meant to drape the character in mystery and "hook" the reader into sticking in there to find out what the terrible thing is.
2) The author seems to have little knowledge of law enforcement. There is no such thing as a "special ops cop", well at least in the way it is being used in the story. Based on the description given, it seems as though Jade's brother works for ATF, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms which is a Federal Agency.

This may seem nit-picky, but I'm a nit-picky kinda reader. I hate feeling like I'm being led through the book by cheap ploys and when the book isn't realistic.

3 Stars- I LOVED when the characters were together. I loved the rawness and the bad attitudes and the alpha talk so much. But when they weren't together I was bored and it was just boring. The good thing was this wasn't much on the mc club like we normally read. This was more good girl/bad boy. I was kind of wanting the whole mc club vibe with the skanks and all. If you decide to read this series, reading the prequel (Ryder) is a must. Two Worlds Colliding picks up right where the prequel ends and doesn't give as much back story to get you involved. Plus, without the prequel you really loose why they have the strong verbal conversation between Ryder and Jade. As for the full book, it was ok. The prequel was enough for me. Give them a quick HEA and I'll be happy. This was just stringing everything along with no real great story. Her cop brother should have been more active in THIS book to really cause turmoil and hook you.

Wow wow wow... This book has it all drama, passion, hot steamy sex scenes and bikers!!
This book contains the first meeting of Ryder and Jade; their one hot, outdoor action encounter and then moves into the real world where family, work, biker family and relationships are tested.

Ryder is torn between club loyalties and his feelings for Jade, his family history gives him many reasons not to trust anyone but be can't deny he wants Jade. Jade also feels torn between the right thing by her family and what she wants for herself. Can they both do what's right for them and be happy or will they walk away to avoid hurting the ones they love?!

This edition also contains five chapters from Lexi and Razor, their version of what happens in the club that fateful night... A taste of what's to come and an insightful look into their points of view.

Great motorcycle erotic read. I liken it to Kristen Ashley's motorcycle man and Chaos series. I've been looking for another awesome MC book for awhile. It has everything a motorcycle book read needs. Hot guys, crazy antics, high class women who get hooked on the bad boys and raunchy dirty sex scenes. I give this a fat 9.5 out of 10 on the heat scale. Whoo Boy!

The characters we're instantly loveable but if you can't handle a man calling his woman a bitch or a slut, this read is not for you. It "almost" turned me off but after awhile I kind of got used to it. There are also a couple really great villains in the story.

OMG you know a book is awesome when you read it all within a day.... The chemistry between Ryder & Jade makes me jealous! I think it also helps that Ryder & Two Worlds Colliding were put into 1.... having read "Ryder" first does help immensely to understand the 2 characters alot better once you get into "Two Worlds Colliding". I can't wait to read the next installment of this series.

Since I had already read the prequel and book 1, I picked this up for the bonus chapters.

Did you ever wonder what happened at the club when Lexi, Rebecca and Jade went dancing? The bonus chapters fill you in on all the details from Liz and Razor's POV.....it was great!

Ryder is one cocky bastard...His dirty mouth should come with an WARNING! *heavy breathing*

Jade, I just love her, I really don't know why though, because her spoiled and snobbish behavior was seriously too much at times, but she grown on me and she was good for Ryder.

Ryder & Jade's journey is only getting better and better!
In this book, their two worlds is trying to keep them apart, so it's a struggle to stay together, but they are both stubborn and don't give up so easily.

A Light MC Romance Read. Yet another book I found because of my quest to find all books that has an FMC that shared the same name as me. This is actually the first MC romance I have ever read and I’m shocked I enjoyed it even if it wasn’t reverse harem. The book is supposed to show a modern Romeo and Juliet situation and I do get that from their thoughts but as a lover of the occasional angst, I feel like they should’ve spent more time apart to really showcase that. But I devoured this book and highly recommend it!

Ryder Knox, VP of the Scorpio Stinger MC. His childhood was so bad and he tried to keep his little brother Max safe from everything. Ryder ended up killing a man to save Max and Ryder ended up in Julie and almost died.
So much turmoil throughout the book. What happened to Max and Ryder.
Jade, an up and coming lawyer. Very sassy and smart. So much going on but a great story. I loved Ryder and Jade and all the up and coming characters. Looking forward to reading the series.

Ryder and Jade are combustible!

Hot romance, steamy sex, Romeo and Juliet for the modern day. Ryder and Jade are combustible together. Loved how Jade melted his rough and tough exterior and made him believe in love again plus he's starting to see his world from another perspective. This is not a cliffhanger, but their story is to continue. I hope they keep their HEA
