Trojans MC #3
Lust
Ever since he saved her from almost getting gang raped, Raoul hasn’t been able to get Zoe out of his mind. When he’s with a woman, it’s Zoe he thinks about, but he can never have her. This MC life is not for her.
Zoe has become obsessed with the rough biker who saved her over six months ago. She is trying to move on, but she can’t forget Raoul. When she finds out that her new roommate’s boyfriend knows of the club, she refuses to pass up his invitation to a club party.
What she finds sends her running. But Raoul can’t believe Zoe was in the club, and now he’s not going to let her get away. He’ll have her for his own, claim her as his old lady, and soon take her as his wife.
The passion between them is fierce, the lust burning brighter than any fire, but how can their relationship last? She’s in college, and he’s part of a deadly MC club. What will happen when Zoe discovers that Raoul has lied to her? Will she run from him?
After all, she’s not the only virgin he’s bedded, so how can she be special to him?

One word "pushover". Please excuse my harsh words in this review. She was watching him f@&$ two women one in the ass and one fingering and she says "oh man I can't be that awesome I am just a stupid virgin!" And my oh my girl are you right! Omg and the fu@& fest continues with the whole public viewing and the filming. Glad they are protecting themselves because those people are not fit to be parents. They don't have just one little oops moment they have several. Also, I call bullshit on this whole thing with club whore and old ladies. Yeah I am so sure woman are just happy to be in a club with their husband who they know have been sleeping with all the whores around. Yes I would want to makes those sluts my bff of course. Hope they never reproduce because they are both crazy. 20 years old and a virgin having public sex!!! I call bullshit on that too. Why can't he have at least been nice like one time??? He lied but hey that's all good you're the only virgin that matters!!!! What does that even mean??? Girl get a clue he is just bad news but hey since you're TSTL , you fall for his crap! Man they let any stupid slut in college these days. Rant over. I just got it out of my system. I am done with the MC shit from Sam Crescent.

I think I should preface this review by explaining about my buddy reads. I have three sisters-in-law. I know, my poor husband, right? One of my sis-in-law's likes historical romances, one likes nearly the same books I do (BB/my regular buddy), and one of them is just a fucking masochist (Zo/sorry for outing you).
Zo's the one I read this book with cuz her sisters won't ever buddy read with her...and now I know why. She conned me into this by telling me the h was a "fine-ass redhead like you" - now, throw me some flattery, and occasionally I fall for shit.
This was my first Sam Crescent novel and I'm pretty sure this will be my last one.
This book was a horror show of mediocre writing and inane conversations with ridiculous characters. The H was a total asshole manwhore (not the nicer "man-ho" title, the full word, cuz he's fully one). The h was a brainless, unrealistic, unbelievable virgin. And, oh yeah, OW abounded. Like...bold, italicize, capitalize that OW.
I like MC novels. I've even come to accept and expect OW in them and even the shitty fucking way they treat the "club sluts"...but the books need to be dark and gritty. I LOVE DARK AND GRITTY. Like...FUCKING LOVE IT. I prefer it when both the plot and H are like that. But I don't like H's to just be a manwhore dick with attitude without any awesome dark plots to back that shit up. And when he's like that just cuz he's in an MC...then he's just an irredeemable ho-bag, criminal sleaze...yeah, another no go for me.
The best worst part...we have two detailed scenes of the H fucking OW before he takes the h's virginity...and that scene...fade to black, some random scene, then back to the devirginizing...WHERE THEY DISCUSS HIM FUCKING OW AS HE POPS HER CHERRY.
What in the actual fuck, people?
This wasn't worth a morning of skimming through. I'm just thankful it was blessedly short. Sorry Zo, but your 4 stars for this just cracks my shit up.
I also just realized my use of expletives goes up in reviews for every star I leave off a rating...c'est la fucking vie ;)
Laissez les bons temps rouler!

This is the best of the Trojans MC seies so far.I was fully prepared to dislike Raoul after what he did to Holly from book#1, he was a real jerk,but this book ,he was totally redeemed.It took a heroine like Zoe to make him sit up and take notice.Zoe was a great character,not weak willed at all,though a virgin,she knew what she wanted and Raoul was it.Some really hot moments in this book.I disliked the continious references of Raoul taking Holly's virginity,h from book#1,took me out of the story,hence the 4**.

I'm not really sure why all the likes for this book, I mean I enjoy Sam Crescent's books as much as the next person, she's had some great ones and some not so great ones, this book...not so great.
There literally was no storyline in this book. Nothing happened! Nothing! Raoul and Zoe have to be two of the blandest characters ever! I can't tell if she was just a doormat or simply had self esteem issues. This chick was all over the place! She's obsessed with a biker she rarely knows, hunts him down, sees him in the middle of what amounts to an orgy and runs out. Except she fucks him the very next day because seeing him fucking those women turned her on...WTF...and she was supposed to be a virgin? Then from there this shit just keeps going downhill, she's basically at his beck and call, she went from straight laced virgin to a straight up sex freak...guess this is why the book is called Lust..lol. She's at his disposal 24/7...even goes through the Trojans 'old lady' initiation of having sex with Raoul in front of his brothers and she's perfectly fine with that..but then finds out that Raoul lied to her about her not being the first virgin he fucks and she freaks and runs away...this chick is fucking nuts!
I'd say the most interesting thing that happened in this book was Crazy's dilemma with Suz and Leanna and Daisy's mystery woman, Maria. That accounts for the two stars I gave it because sadly Ms. Crescent missed the mark with this book.

Looks like more characters will appear in the series.
If in Control and Betrayal we have a lot of Duke and Pike and Raoul made his appearance here and there, I believe in the next few books, we will be seeing a lot of Crazy and Daisy. Not that I am complaining because from what is already given, I am already intrigue with their storyline.
But let's focus on Raoul and Zoe, with the latter introduced in Betrayal.
If Holly and Mary were hesitant to be part of the Club, Zoe seems to be diving in head first. The woman has guts. I do like her and Raoul together, they do have great chemistry and Raoul is very good to her. But do I like their story? Not really. I feel like the writer doesn't have enough material to drive the story to focus fully on just Raoul and Zoe, which is why in between you have Crazy, Daisy, Suz, Strawberry and Leanna (sp?).
I like those other characters just fine but it does make me wonder why the many appearances when in Control and Betrayal, both stories are heavy on the main characters.

Ahhhh - I try so hard to like this series but I just find the writing all over the place and this one was particularly bad for me. I felt nothing between Raoul and Zoe and the Initiation into the club is just all wrong for me. I really want to like Sam's books but I feel her books go too fast, like slow down why does everyone have to fall in love in an hour, it drives me crazy.
Everytime I read her books, it's the same genre and storyline. Give them a little build-up to the sex where I can feel it but I feel nothing not even a tingle.

The hero was a man whore extraordinaire. The heroine walks in on him having anal with a club whore in the middle of a party and she’s not grossed out or angry. And to make it so much worse, she has sex with him the NEXT day! So disgusting! Bleach wouldn’t sanitize that dick as far as I’m concerned.
Once they get together he was really good to her though, and a nice and loving partner. He was also completely faithful and didn’t even look at another woman. As is usual with the author the writing was rough in places and lots of words were repeated and the dialogue didn’t flow smoothly.

While I'm enjoying the series (and loving the set up for Crazy and Daisy' s books) I think the club sex is a little over the top. And the club whores all wanting to get pregnant....seriously. I actually love it when a heroine gets pregnant, but the whole trapping thing is a complete turn off....I mean it sure didn't work for Suz.

Good series
I'm so in love with the story. I can't wait to read more of this series. Hope the next book comes out soon. I want to see what happens with Crazy and Daisy. Keep up the good work Sam Crescent.

Another "just one more chapter..." kind of read for me! I like how this MC is chock full of insta-love alphas, who are excited to get their women pregnant (which gives off sweet vibes) but also isn't totally on the straight & narrow (making everything a bit more exciting).
Zoe & Raoul were fun to read about, even though I wanted to smack them upside the head at multiple times throughout the book.
Zoe... Loved the fact that she took a chance on Raoul, how she accepted the whole claiming process & got a few laughs out of her relationship with Landon. I get why she was so upset with the virgin blow-up but for the life of me, I don't get why it lasted so long. And the way she beat herself up over it made my stomach hurt.
Raoul... I enjoyed his little seduction dance with Zoe & loved that he made a mini sex tape of them for the times when they couldn't be together. (But he's hella lucky it didn't get out.) I did NOT like hearing about his past conquests (mentioning the fact that you pictured Zoe while f*cking them scores you no brownie points, dude) but man... his big mistake was the damn lie about Zoe being his first virgin. So much drama could've been circumvented if he would've told her the truth. I just did NOT understand why he let it go on so long, especially when he knew that someone would accidentally spill the beans about him & Holly!
Looking forward to the next book in the series, Need, featuring Crazy & Leanna. There's just something so addicting about Sam's books! :)
Side Note: What is up with the out-there names for the kids? Strawberry & Starlight?

Read “Need” before this one so I had to back track to find out what happened with Raoul & Zoe. In the 2nd book, “Betrayal” Raoul saved Zoe from being raped. He also wanted her to learn to protect herself. He wanted to stay away from her because she is young but he can’t get her out of his head, neither can Zoe. When she sees him in “action” at the club you would think that would change things. But nope, that is when things really start to heat up. Raoul actually was a jerk in book one and had to redeem himself to the club. He does and now has a chance at love. Zoe is not only a virgin up she is a tough cookie. You have to love that the ladies are not weak. I love it. The guys are always devoted and protecting of all the “old ladies.” The intimacy between these two is hot and oh so good. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Lust: Trojans MC (3)
Must say I really loved this book. Be warned, I didn't get to bed till 4 am last night, cos couldn't go to bed till I'd finished it. Raoul was one of the younger members, a while back, he did something to really hurt Duke's wife, before they got together, nearly got himself thrown out of the club. Few months back, Raoul saved Zoe from being gang raped by 4 men. She was at college still, he kept away from her but! couldn't forget her. Unknown to her he had someone looking out for her. A young guy who wanted to prospect when he left college. Zoe got him to take her to a party at the club, she wanted to see Raoul, not what she expected, she ran, but he followed. Then there's Crazy, and his wife Suz. That is one heck of a tale. Excellent book again

It was okay. I really didn’t like the MMC from the beginning of the series and I honestly don’t feel he got better in this book. I also felt like the entire story was forced. It felt like the MMC was envious of his two club brothers getting happily settled and so he felt he had to himself one too. As for the drama, I mean the major conflict between them was that the FMC wasn’t his first virgin. Wow big relationship issues right there, not. Yes he lied but honestly it’s a trivial lie. It should have been more about the CW who tried to drug and rape him to get his baby and marriage out of him. That was one scene and then it was washed away like it was no big deal. Ugh. Either way, not my favorite book of the series and not my favorite series at all so far. Good luck.

3.5 Stars
Lust is all about LUST. Raoul is Male lead and Zoe is female lead. If you read book two Betrayal then you know Raoul saved Zoe from an awful experience. Well Zoe cant seem to forget him and Raoul isnt fairing much better. When Zoe lands herself at one of the Club parties she will be shocked at what she sees. Well once she enters Raoul's world there is no turning back.
I am only giving this 3.5 stars because the storyline was lacking, I believe these characters had strong lust but I didn't feel the love between them. Overall great sex scenes and Raoul's character can get any heart pumping. Happy Reading!!!

I loved this book. I couldn’t stand number 2 in the series and I almost gave up on this series but I’m so glad I didn’t.
This is Rauol and Zoe’s story.
It’s is a quick easy read, he meets her 6 months previous and saves her from being attacked. They part ways but neither one had forgotten about the other and they finally meet up again at a club party thanks to Landon( new character absolutely brilliant) sparks fly between the 2 and all goes along great until an old lie comes back to bite Raoul.
This is a Sam crescent book so we all know how it’s going to end. Loved it! My favourite couple from the trojans mc so far. Onto book 4 👍

"Lust" is the story of Zoe and Raoul.
If you can get past the insane amount of sex, club whores, exhibitionism, body fluid talk, drama etc etc, the story is average. He rescues her from getting assaulted, and cant get her out of his mind despite screwing a whole village of women. She is also smitten with him. They get together, mild drama, the end.
Meh
Unsafe

at about 75%, I developed a bad case of the eye-rolls. Talk about annoying heroines. And contrived plot-twist. And there definitely is a formula for this author's plot lines. They kind of blend together. I don't need to read more. 2 stars **

Pay back can be a Bit**h!
Rauol did not know it can happen to him. 💥 Zoe a little spitfire capture his attention. Nothing been the same. Loved the story three book and I am still captured in the Trojan.

Great book
Another fantastic story in this series by the author. A knight in a charger saves the damsel in distress and she then becomes so much more to him. A wonderful motorcycle club romance.

Raoul & Zoe another good match, I liked how upfront he was about the “becoming an Old Lady requirement” and she didn’t freak out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ simple series compared to “The Skulls” or “Chaos Bleeds” (of which is very Awesome!!!)
