Russkaya Mafiya/Oath Keepers MC #3
Relinquish
Free bird-
He calls me free bird, yet I’m not the one who’s free.
At least not as free as he is.
He’s covered in tattoos, roaring down a Texas highway,
and living life. I sit here, pondering what my life could be.
It was only supposed to be some fun, not like this.
I’m Avery, flustered Barista- looking for a diversion.
I’m not like the others.
I’m not ready to give-in and accept my fate.
2 Piece-
I didn’t have a clue that the pull would be so strong.
To concede, or relent, to just accept my feelings for her.
She came looking for me, when I had no idea I wanted to be found.
She’s so strong, it’s mesmerizing, but I’m not the only one who notices.
Just when it hits me of what’s right in front of me, waiting,
things turn chaotic.
I’m 2 Piece, a stubborn member of the Oath Keepers MC. You think
you know me because I’m a typical biker?
You don’t have a clue.
Together, this is our story.
Can we relinquish and submit to our hearts?

2 Piece knows when he's done wrong and he knows when he wants to fix it, "s***, sugar, I’m not dumb enough to know that fine actually means fine when it comes to a woman. You’re upset, and I’m a d***; you made your point clear, now please talk to me so we can fix this." I liked the way Avery and him were when they were together, "I like doing things for her and making her happy. She seems to feel the same way about it too." Relationships are sometimes all about compromise, "sexy, huh? Yeah well, just call me 2. I don’t care if you call me Silas in here, but round everyone else, not so much." I loved this book I can't wait for the next one.

*** ARC received to leave an honest review ***
Bravo Sapphire, this is my favorite one so far. I loved 2 Piece (& yes we do get his real name) & Avery. They were very hot together & there was one particular scene w/ someone that was off the charts smoking!!!
This one was action packed & we definitely get a look at the MC more.
Great writing, it flowed so easy.
Now on to the next couple!!!

Tempting 2
I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK. SOMETHING. FIERCE. I can't even tell you how much this book has affected me. I had the biggest smile on my face the entire way through. If you are a fan of the AWESOME Sapphire, then you know it's the third installment of what is turning into one of my TOP series.
This is the story of 2 piece and Avery characters we met in the previous books and know that they hooked up, but didn't know what would come of it. 2 was never one to settle down but after one taste of the tempting Avery left an indelible impression on him. Avery had no qualms about just having fun with the men in her life but something about 2 kept her intrigued and wanting more. From the first page until the last the writing is superb and with a plot that you wouldn't have expected this page turner is captivating. The secondary characters add layers and layers leaving you anxiously awaiting their story and touched that you got to catch up with the ones you call old friends. I've never been so giddy about starting a book before. It gave me just what I needed, when I needed it, a beautiful break from reality. Thank you so much, Sapphire Knight, for creating these wonderful and fascinating people that capture your heart and not let it go.

I will start of by saying that I love this whole series. So far Relinquish is my favorite by Sapphire Knight. 2 Piece and Avery are two of my favorite characters. I can't wait to read more by Sapphire in the future!
September 9, 2015
This is book 3 in the series and to me the best on of all. I love that sapphire has humor, sweet romance, hot sex, and dark all in one. Awesome read i recommend it. If you loved book 1, and 2 be perpared to be blown away with book 3.
May 16, 2015
Firstly I would like to thank Sapphire for giving me the honour of reading and reviewing an ARC of Relinquish. I love this series I mean it has Russakaya Mafiya and MC all in one book need i say more.
I loved 2 piece right from the get go. We met them both in the previous books but this book revolved around them. Avery and 2 piece had hooked up a few times but it was never nothing series, but they always felt a connection stronger than just any hook up. When Avery decides to come visit instantly the pull and chemistry is of the charts. 2 piece is not one to commit to a relationship but he might change is mind for Avery. This relationship has major ups and downs but it is so worth the journey.
Sapphire brings you into a mixed world of MC life and Russakaya Mafiya and it is such an amazing ride as you get to see both worlds but one thing both worlds have in common is that the men love their woman fiercely and will do anything i mean anything to protect them.
This is book three of the series and it left me wanting another book asap. If you havent read this series i suggest you start now you will not be dissapointed. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE WHO LOVES MC AND MAFIYA BOOKS OR FOR THOSE WHO SIMPLY WANT AN ALPHA MALE. OR IF YOU SIMPLY JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH 2PIECE AND AVERY.

Relinquish (verb) voluntarily cease to keep or claim; give up
**I WAS GIVEN AN ARC BY THE AUTHOR FOR AN HONEST REVIEW- THANK YOU!!**
Sapphire Knight didn't let me down, actually she set me up for yet another book hangover!
This is book three in the Russkaya Mafiya series and is centred on the relationship between Avery who we got to know in SECRETS and 2 Piece, a member of The Oath Keepers MC.
It is not a standalone, you must read SECRETS and EXPOSED first.
Avery and 2 Piece are two halves of the same whole, both have their hang ups and some commitment issues as the title suggests.
I thought this instalment was compelling and highly entertaining, as it contains two of my favourite genres, a bad boy biker MC and the Russian Mafiya.
Another reviewer said that this series is like a fine wine, it just gets better and better and I whole heartedly agree! This series has turned me into a lush!!
Sapphire Knight take a bow because I'm giving you a standing ovation!

This is the 3 book in the Russkaya Mafiya/Oath Keepers MC Series and follows 2 Piece and Avery. I loved and enjoyed the first 2 books, but this is my favorite in the series so far. Sapphire Knight did not disappoint. It has the right amount of roughness, tenderness, heat and sweet with a bit of dark thrown in. I enjoyed the relationship between 2 Piece and Avery as well as hearing about the characters from the first 2 books in the series. Each book just keeps getting better and better, I can not wait to see what Sapphire Knight has in store for us next.

Okay, this series just continues to get better and better, it’s like a fine wine.
The story just grabbed me and held me through the journey of 2 piece and Avery.
I love this couple and could not get enough I want more! This couple is so in tune with one another each feeling the same or having the same reactions to the other. I love the twists and turns that would keep me on my toes and turning the pages. This is the third book in the series, and I highly recommend that readers grab a copy. I want to know more on Ares, Niko. I want to hear more of these relationships we have already seen and felt Tate & Emily and London & Cain, and now 2 Piece and Avery. Can’t wait for more Sapphire.

This was the second time I read Oath Keppers MC, #3. I wanted to see if I remembered Avery's story being as hot as I thought it was...... and yes it was. I love this group of bikers! They have some dark characters that I enjoy watching how they evolve in the series.

The writing of Ms Sapphire's books is off the charts.
This is the third book in the series and is about 2piece and Avery. Their hot sexy relationship is a brilliant read I highly recommend.
Ms Sapphire brings to life the lives of the Russian Mafia and a Texan motorcycle club in a story you do not want to end.
I am a big fan of mafia and M.C. Books and this gives you both in a great read that's edgy and full of drama.
I have given Relinquish 5 Big Fanning myself and waiting for more stars.

This one is Avery and 2 Piece's book. Avery and London are friends and she meets 2 Piece in Tennessee when he visits their with Cain.
Lots more MC drama in this one. Each book pulls back more layers on the club in general and what demons might reside within. Avery is a free spirit. Together, her and 2 Piece make a good match. Throw in some kinky threesomes with Ares and this book is HOT!
Love the whole series so far. Can't wait to read them all!

2 piece and Avery is a story of two people who love their freedom and don't want to be tied down to a long term committed relationship. This story started being explored in Exposed and has now blown wide open in Relinquished.
2 piece loves to play, he loves women in variety and plenty of them. He doesn't want to be tied to one, but their is a certain woman from Tennessee that he can't seem to forget. They were together such a short time, she made a impression on him that has him missing her and wanting her time to time. This is new territory for him and he is unsure of what to make of it. So he does what any man of his caliber does, he fakes it in every aspect. With his friends and in his bed. Whenever London and his brother talk of going to Tennessee, he sometimes casually will bring up going with them and go. When Avery came to visit London, he kept her entertained during her time not spent with London. When they would separate from each other he would miss her, which would make him determined to prove himself wrong about wanting her.
Avery doesn't want to be controlled by a man. Her father is amazing, her mother is why she ran as far away from Florida as she could get TENNESSEE!!! Her mother even managed to control her major from that distance. No way was a man going to control any aspect of her, therefore she has decided in no uncertain terms no committed relationships. Then why is it every-time she and 2 piece leave each other after days in bed satisfying each others bodies her mind couldn't leave him. She would become excited at the thought of talking to him or seeing him. She would become dissapointed when she couldn't go with the others on their visit to Texas.
Then an opportunity came her way to go with her best friend to visit 2 piece and she used the excuse to be able to see London and her son. When she arrived at the compound 2 piece only saw her from behind and didn't recognize her, so being the player he is went up to her to deal his hand. When she turned and noticed him she ran jumping into his arms. And this is where the game begins. They burn up the sheets, there is no issue in that department. The drama that comes with caring about someone is where the fun is with these two. They fight their want of a relationship and others end up in the relationship one way or another. Does Avery have what it takes to bring 2 piece to his knees? Or is it 2 piece that will have to bring Avery down to realize that they are meant to be. Whose surprise visit turns the MC into chaos and turns 2 piece and Twist world into a different direction? Author Sapphire Knight has the answers and many more plots throughout this amazing novel you don't want to miss!
Author Sapphire Knight has the ability to keep your attention and her plots are never dull and prolonged. She has hot, sexy alpha men and not just bikers either! She has tough, sassy independent women. This is my favorite in this series so far and Secrets and Exposed were already in my top 10 favorite list. 5 star review for this book and author. Keep them coming! Two thumbs up!!!!!

I was honored to receive an advance copy of Relinquish to read in exchange for a honest review.
2 Piece had a childhood full of responsibility and rejection. His dad ran off right after Sadie was born and their mom's life spiraled out of control after that. He had to step up and be the parental figure for Sadie. Never being able to have the young carefree life most others did. He was always her protector and that was ok with him because they had a very close bond. Once Sadie graduated and had a job situated out then it was 2 Pieces turn to be free. That's when he went off to Texas and met up with the Oath Keepers MC. It wasn't an easy decision to make to become an Oath Keeper. He didn't want any strings or attachments to keep him from being free. The club gave him a home but still gave him space to be free. This he could balance. He never got attached to a woman. All he wanted was a club slit and a lot of them. But he didn't even bring them back to his room. He just took care of business and then sent them on their ways and went to his room alone. He didn't want them in his space.
Avery is an only child. Therefore her parents smothered her especially her mom. When she graduated she was glad to go to Tennessee for college. She ran as far and as fast as she could. Now she had her own little apartment, worked at a coffee shop to make her own money, and then attended her classes. She was woman hear her roar! She was proud of her independence. She had no problem making friends she had an outgoing personality. Especially sexy men. She loved men and she loved sex. Why be shy about it?
2 Piece and Avery met through their friends. But when they first saw each other it was like two bolts of lightning being drawn to each other and when they combusted would either have any defenses left? After the first night together they both knew they were only in it for the fun. They could enjoy each other but never get attached. That's how they both want it. Nights of hot passions sex and no strings. After all she lives in Tennessee and he lives in Texas.
Relinquish is a magnificently written book. It has humor, hot alpha males from all walks of life, sultry sexy women who know how to balance between strong and independent to loving and submissive. It also has the edge of danger and the conflict of rivaling mcs and a flavor of something extra. A perfect balance. Mix into that misunderstandings and mixed emotions and you come out with Relinquish.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone that loves romance and hot bikers. Sapphire Knight great book and to me the best of the series so far. Great job and thank you for your hard work. Please keep them coming.

This book..... I’ve got mixed feelings! There were times I both loved and hated everything that happened!! It was so fast paced I think I might have got whiplash! Sapphire is an author that with time, her writing just keeps evolving. Her plots get thicker. Her characters get more developed. And her fans will just get more and more demanding because she’s just that good!!
Avery is a girl looking for her place in life....
2 Piece is a man used to getting what he wants....
Together they are explosive!
Avery is on her last stretch of college and not wanting to be a barrista forever she’s not sure what to do with herself. At times (to me) she seemed incredibly selfish, she had the woo is me act going. But then she was so damn selfless you forgot about the rest. She’s a girl who knows what she wants in regards to everything but her career. She knows she wants 2 Piece but is a little blind to the fact that she’s in love with him.
2 Piece enjoys the free life so much that he doesn’t realize what’s right in front of him until it’s almost too late. He’s so entrenched in the club that he misses the subtle clues of a good woman. But boy oh boy does he show her beautifully!
Their chemistry is off the chains hot!! More so then any of Sapphire’s other books! We’re talking explosive, wet your panties, jump your partner HOTTTT!!!
I loved all the suspense in this book, I never knew what was coming or when. Seeing Cain and London again made me smile a lot, those 2 crack me up!!
Be prepared for a mix of emotions you would never have expected!!!
5 fabulous stars from NADBB!!!

She’s a girl who knows what she wants in regards to everything but her career. She knows she wants 2 Piece but is a little blind to the fact that she’s in love with him.
2 Piece enjoys the free life so much that he doesn’t realize what’s right in front of him until it’s almost too late. He’s so entrenched in the club that he misses the subtle clues of a good woman. But boy oh boy does he show her beautifully!
Their chemistry is off the chains hot!! More so then any of Sapphire’s other books! We’re talking explosive, wet your panties, jump your partner HOTTTT!!!
I loved all the suspense in this book, I never knew what was coming or when. Seeing Cain and London again made me smile a lot, those 2 crack me up!!
Be prepared for a mix of emotions you would never have expected!!!
5 fabulous stars from NADBB!!!

Another great addition to a fabulous series!
2 Piece didn't have the best life growing up. He had to take care of his sister and a young age. When she gets old enough to take care of herself, he finally feels like he can leave and have a life of his own. When he had a run in with the Oath Keepers MC, it was like fate brought them together. Nothing feels as good as freedom. He never thought that he would meet someone that would have him wanting to settle down but then again, he never met someone like Avery.
Avery is a fun loving girl that lives in the moment. She is a free spirit and lives life to the fullest. Never one to be tied down to one guy, she's just in it for fun. But there is just something about 2 Piece that she can't seem to let go of. She got a taste of him and can't seem to satisfy her craving.
We got to meet 2 Piece and Avery in the first two books of the series. I liked them then but I love them now! We get a lot more of the MC in this story which I love. I love the character development with these two and the steaminess is off the charts! I can't wait to read more of this series. Sapphire is like a crack dealer and I'm just waiting for my next fix! Bring on Viktor, Twist, Ares....BRING THEM ALL!!!

I was lucky enough to get ARC copy from Sapphire. This is what the last two were building up too. 2Piece is a hot biker that has a soft side. Avery is the blonde that wants him but she is still unsure of herself even though she acts cool all the time. Their story is full of surprises as things just don't go smoothly for them. Can 2 offer Avery the life that she wants or they just be a passing fling. I love that the other characters from the other books are still apart wants her something bad but he isn't great with the whole relationship thing as he didn't come from the best happy family. Avery scared that 2 wouldn't want her to stick around. She is always jumping to conclusions about 2 & his plans. Will he lose patience with her and send her packing. They are some new players which I am sure that we will see more of. I love that we still get to read about the other characters as their stories are all interconnected. Another great read you are full of surprises. Just keep them coming.

Book #3 Wow, what a great story !!! Deeply thought filled characters, suspense and action, and super hot sexiness. These guys are bad guys, but they are so good! It's hard to explain. We get wrapped up and carried along for a wonderful ride ! 2-Piece and Avery have their story, and it's exciting. Niko brings her along to visit 2 when he goes there to help them. The club members banter is fun, they are a tight knit group. 2-Peice and Ares are so hot, I actually wish they had their ménage with Avery.There are many things going on, a layered tale of club management and devotion, to revenge on a rival club for shooting Avery. Zero tolerance to anyone who injures "family". Sapphire has out done herself and I can't wait to read more from the characters in this series !! She makes us care about them all. Highly recommended !! ENJOY !!! (There is graphic violence, and rough language in this book.) DESPITE THAT WARNING, I LOVED THESE PEOPLE, THE STORY AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT !!!

Absolutely LOVED this book and the first 2 in the series as well. I completely fell in love with 2 piece and of course Avery. I don't think you must read the first 2 but you'd be missing out for sure. Getting to know the characters help make the story more fulfilling at least I think so. This story pulls you in and you will not want to put it down. I know that I sure couldn't. I can't wait to read more from Sapphire and this series. I need Twist's story and I think Niko needs a woman as well. You won't be disappointed reading this book or any other by Sapphire Knight that's for sure.

I'm seriously loving these 2 series! I can't wait to get back into the Russian Mafia world. I've loved being in the Oath Keepers world the last 2 books and meeting the gang, but I'm excited to keep reading the Mafia part of the series. :)
Tate and Emily are still my favorites. It's hard to beat them so far. I loved Avery and 2 Piece's sotry, just wanted a little more (as always). :)

Texas, sexy bad-boy biker, troubled past, danger, passion....what is there to not like about those things?!? Absolutely nothing!!!
Once again, I'm blown away with another extraordinary book by Sapphire Knight! I didn't think it was possible to love another book of hers more than Exposed...but she always surprises me. Sapphire introduced me to my very first MC book with Exposed, and I was instantly hooked. And she's continued to keep me loving her MC books with Relinquish.
Relinquish follows the story of Avery, Emily's friend in Tennessee, and 2 Piece. Avery was introduced to 2 Piece in Exposed, through London and Cain, as 2 Piece is a member of the same MC as Cain. And we all know about London and Cain's story......*swoon*! But this is Avery and 2's story...
It's casual. Just for fun. Nothing serious. That's what it was supposed to be....until both Avery and 2 Piece can't stop thinking about one another. But they live in completely different states, so how are two "freedom-loving" individuals going to tackle the issue of growing feelings? Throw in a rival gang, with the risk of danger, to enable the couple to spend copious amounts of time together.
In Sapphire's previous books, she showed us that opposites really do attract. But in Relinquish, finding someone with such strong similarities can be just as special! Even though Avery and 2 Piece live in completely different worlds, their personalities are almost mirrored copies. They greatly enjoy their freedom, have undoubted love for the people they care about, have feisty attitudes, and they're both terrible at expressing their true feelings for one another! You can be as strong, confident, and independent as you want.....but anyone can become lonely surrounded by a crowd. Avery and 2 Piece compliment each other amazingly well--not just the passion and lust they share (oh, let me tell you....WHOA MAMA! H-O-T...make-my-eyeballs-sweat SEXY...if my eyeballs could sweat they definitely would while reading this book!), but their genuine, inner selves that you gradually see more of as the book progresses. And with the threat of danger and suspense, it only brings the two of them even closer.
What I also highly enjoy about series books is when the author continues to mention previous main characters. It's nice to know that just because you're being introduced to a new story line, with multiple new characters as well, you're reminded of the previous ones....like catching up with old friends! Each book in this series flows smoothly into the next. I didn't get lost or confused once with the progression of the books and storylines. I can't wait for the next one to be released, and hopefully it's soon! (Hear that, Sapphire?!? *hehe*)
Sapphire Knight has quickly become one of my favorite authors!!! I very strongly recommend Relinquish....but make sure to read Secrets and Exposed first! She has this remarkable way of seizing you're attention from the first page, and retaining it until the very end. If you're a fan of strong and confident women, take-charge-sexy men, with HEA's and fantastic writing, then this series is an absolute MUST READ for you! :)

Overall Rating: 4.25 Rockin’ ★★★★
Freedom to leave. Freedom to go wherever you want, and whenever you want to. Freedom without boundaries set by others. Would you give up your freedom for true love? Yield to your yearning for only one person? In the third book in the Russkaya Mafiya/Oath Keepers MC series, Avery and 2 Piece decide whether to follow their heart or remain alone without each other. Relinquish by Sapphire Knight, continues the storyline from her previous books with this action-packed contemporary romance. This is 2 Piece and Avery's journey in finding out that freedom doesn't mean giving up everything you hold sacred. It allows you to grow without restrictions with the person you love and care about.
Sylas aka 2 Piece left California in search of a new life at eighteen. Leaving his sister behind, he needed a new beginning. On the side of the road broken down, he meets the Oath Keepers and soon finds his place and a new start. Avery moved to Tennessee to attend school and obtain her degree in Accounting. Her best friend, Niko, is a mafia hitman that works for Tate Materson. When duty calls and Niko is needed in Texas, she begs him for the chance to go with him. She misses 2 Piece and wants to visit him. Once there, the connection between 2 Piece and Avery begins to change, from the quick hook-ups they had shared to something both are unsure of. Neither want children, nor to settle down like all of their friends. So, when the dynamics begin to shift uncertainty arises in their relationship.
This was a fun and entertaining read. The development of the characters from the previous books and introduction of new ones in this book continues to enhance the storyline and plot. The reader envisions the turmoil the couple shares with giving up and letting go of their freedom, which is extremely important to them both. In the end the author delivers an HEA worthy of a happy dance! I encourage you to read this book to find out exactly how she does it! Once again, another great addition to my library and the anticipation is high for the next novel this author graces us with. Cannot wait to see where she will go next. So many great characters she could choose from.

2 Hot
This is now at the point in the series where were are reading the Mafia and the MC as a combo. The first book, Secrets was more Mafia (Russkaya/Russian Mafia) and introducing the readers to that world, what they do, and those characters. The second book, Exposed was more of the MC (Oath Keepers MC) and introducing the readers to that world, what they do, and those characters. Now within both books, characters started crossing, but with this book...Sapphire was able to really just go and she did! Each book is getting better & I'm falling more & more in love! This book was about Avery and 2 Piece or his real name, which is still just as hot as he is! Want to know it...you should read these books! I'm telling you, I didn't know what I was missing because I didn't know, but I'm now telling all my family & friends & anyone...You're missing out! Avery being an only child felt suffocated & couldn't wait to escape. So, in the past, we now know why she's been a little girl gone crazy, but fun! While, 2 Piece had to raise his sister and as soon as she was old enough & went to school, he was off! Ended up at the Oath Keepers MC. A place that gave him purpose and freedom. Never to settle down & take any woman willing that he wants. Yet, Avery comes & two people who have longed for freedom...are pulled together! Hot, unbelievably amazing hot scenes happen between these two. Will these two beautifully stubborn people admit what they want or do they believe that this would cause them to lose their freedom?
