In ‘Kick’ Raine and Jett indulge in a light flirtation. As President of the Savage Saints he is attracted to Raine, whilst married to another. Grim, deserved to be her love interest and was intrinsically more interesting.
For a month, Grim’s been assigned to trailing her at a distance, luckily he intercepts an assailant as she’s about to be raped and she witnesses the murder. Shortly thereafter the club goes into lockdown as several of their women are targeted.
(Grim deserved to be more than an afterthought. He deserved to get the girl).
On the way to the clubhouse Raine asks him to make a detour, and we’re introduced to Raine’s husband Joshua Cole whom is in a vegetative state.
This contains sensitive, disturbing elements of abuse, violence, loss and sexual assault.
This Jett and Raine's tale, but it should have been Grim and Raine’s. From the previous books, we know that their relationship hasn't progressed to any level of intimacy as Jett is married. Those vows hold a special meaning to her. But their chemistry is tangible!
Finding them en flagrante delicto, Mia left lockdown angrily. She was then abducted, brutally murdered and decapitated and her head sent to him in a box.
In the interim, Josh, her husband is lying in a nursing home, despite her inability to keep her hands off her boss, she doesn’t want to cheat on him ... again. Which means keeping a safe distance. Predictably they’re both now widowed.
Her husband’s body is barely cold and she’s already jumped into bed with another man. Using him, she slept with him and then ejected him out of her flat, after he’d been nothing but kind and thoughtful to her…and she’s possibly pregnant.
In Indie’s words, bikers don’t really possess the same kind of mental capacity for what’s right and wrong as everyone else. They’re all alpha, the only men you’ll ever need attitudes and complete cavemen.
She married a good man—a sturdy and stable man, someone who could take care of her, and it turned out his life was cut way too short by his attempting suicide.
Now she’s widowed, broke, and expecting a baby with the president of a motorcycle club.
Grim is devastated by their news.
“Why are you being like this? Why can’t you just be happy for me, for us?”
“Because I f…..’ love you, Raine”.
"I'm not happy for him. I'm not happy for you. I'm f...... miserable because you just broke my g..d... heart."
“I don’t know how much clearer I could have made that without dragging you back to my room by the f......’ hair”.
“And you’ve just broken mine. I guess we’re even now, huh?” Tears well in my eyes and I head for the door before he can see them fall, but he grabs my arm and jerks me back to him, my spine against his firm torso. His arms wrap tightly around my body and he rests his chin on my crown. “Let me go.”
“No. Don’t leave. I’m an ar*ehole. I’m sorry.”
Two of his enemies force their way into the flat with the intent to harm, she is badly beaten enough to lose her baby, her neighbour intercedes and is murdered. This tragedy causes anger and conflict; they do find their way back to each other.
Jett’s foundation is shaken but his love for her remains steadfast.
