Death's Door MC #2

Taking Her Hard

Rate this book
She was his even if she didn’t know it.

Vain had never been one for happily ever afters, true love, or the bullshit that comes with having an old lady. He cared for his club, was loyal until he bled, and that’s all he needed in life.

But then Lizzy came into his life and all that changed. He kept his mouth shut, focused on the MC, and told no one about his feelings, least of all the girl he loved. When Lizzy left he didn’t need or want anyone by his side. She’d been it for him and he let her walk away.

And now she’s back. Lizzy is young and innocent, and he’s too much of a bastard for her. She’s the sister of one of his biker brothers, and Vain knew going down that road would only lead to lines being crossed.

But he wanted her, and he’d have her.

With her life in the gutter and nowhere else to turn, Lizzy had no choice but to seek out her brother for help. It’s been years since she left the protection of the MC, and it’s all because she thought she didn’t want that life surrounding her. But the truth is she ran from her feelings for a certain biker.

And then she sees him, the man she loves… Vain. When their feelings come out in the open, she doesn’t know how the end will look. Being with him could cause trouble for the other bikers, could cause a rift in their brotherhood. But for the first time in her life, she feels good and wants to see the outcome, wants to be happy.

Vain says she’ll be his, and Lizzy has no doubt that’s the truth. At the end of the day, she can’t fight him… Because she doesn’t want to.

Warning: The title pretty much guarantees what you’re getting yourself into. Rough, filthy, short, and totally over-the-top, this hero is all about making sure his woman is pleased in all the best ways. This is a drama-free book, so enjoy the dirty ride.

3.5 stars. Low angst/drama quickie with plenty of sexy packed in. Not much of a story or development but it did well with its real estate. There are some secret feelings between Lizzy and Vain and we happen to come right on time for the big reveal. Frankly, it's a bit anticlimactic. However, it opens up the relationship for intimacy. And there was plenty of climaxing there (see what I did there? Lol)

Separately, I think Lizzy had some growing up to do and Vain I didn't know enough about. Together, they burn up the sheets well enough but nothing screams forever for me. Still, all in all a nice little worry-free treat between books.

Safety: Heroine dates while away from "the club". No sex. Hero is not a virgin but remains celibate after falling for h. No rape or abuse.

Safe biker story

3.6 stars

Biker smut that is free from cheating and OW/OM drama (practically unheard of in biker stories)
They had never expressed their feelings to one another yet were celibate during their 2 year separation. Short and smutty!

I didn't read book one and didn't feel like I was missing anything.

**was disappointed in the epilogue - didn't give us enough of a look into the future.

Jenika Snow tiene librazos y otros que son cualquier cosa menos una historia... como este. No me gustó nada. Podría darle más profundidad a todo, pero se queda en "veremos".

This is the second book in the Death's Door MC series by Jenika Snow. Lizzy was 19 years old when she left the Death's Door MC and her older brother, Ace who is the club's Vice President. She told Ace she didn't want to live the club life anymore so she left but really she was in love with Vain, one of the MC members. Vain loved Lizzy too but neither one of them had the courage to tell the other of their feelings. It's now two years later and Vain is thrilled to hear that Lizzy is coming back home. He may have kept his feelings to himself before but this time he's determined to claim Lizzy as his.

Lizzy left town when she realizes that Vain would never see her, never give her the time of day. And it broke her heart, knowing how much she loved him and he didn’t see her that way.
She left her brother, Ace, behind and moved away, to finish college; she left the MC life behind to finish college but things happened and she ends up having to move back home. It was not what she wanted so back to her brother and the MCs and the man that she never gave up loving. Vain has loved Lizzy for so long , has never loved another like he loved her. When he learns she is coming home, he realizes its time to take back what he wants and he wants Lizzy!!
This is a really hot and very sweet romance story between two characters that really belong together. I love alpha Vein and sassy and sweet Lizzy. Lizzy is determined to get her man and get him she does.

My rating: 4.5 stars ****

If you are looking for a quick, hot, MC read then I think Taking Her Hard by Jenika Snow is right up your alley. This novella is fast paced, a biker who is tired of waiting for the woman he wants as his and a woman ready for him to be her man. This is one you can read in less than an hour so it is perfect for that quick reading fix we sometimes crave. I just liked the quick escape it provided. If you are looking for a book with a lot of backstory, drama or build up then this one won’t be for you. This is a standalone so don’t worry if you didn’t read the previous one, you will no problems whatsoever.

The Death's Door MC Series just keeps getting hotter with this second standalone novella. TAKING HER HARD was scorching! The reaction of Vain when he saw Lizzy again , whom he had loved silently from the start, was explosive! And everything just spelled sexy from then on. I loved their individual struggles until they found their strength from each other! This was a good read!

I have received and read an advanced copy of this book and this is a fair and honest review, voluntarily shared.

She Ran And Now She's Back

Lizzy is related to an MC member, but she takes off because she doesn't want that life. Or at least that's in there somewhere. It may also have something to do with the MC's #2.

It's quick and gets right to the point, but it's good for a lunch break read.

Yet again this is a hot, steamy, quick MC story and exactly what I wanted this time of year.

It's far from perfect. They be exchanging ILY's before they've even done the deed...or spent any meaningful time together.

But I wanted to get out of my head and read some smutty goodness. And home girl had me covered.

Okay

It was okay I read one of her books before this and it was the same basically. Just different characters they say the same things to each other just a different storyline. It was okay.

As with Book 1, a lot of sex, a little love story, and virtually no romance. Not unreasonable when the biker hasn't gotten laid in two years 🤣 At least it wasn't as bad as poor Torque in book 1 who suffered four years of self-imposed celibacy. 😖

Not Sweet Romance!

OMG! If you want a sweet romantic lullaby, this is not for you. This book is rough, sexy as hell, and just as dirty. Fitting for the storyline, and just makes you smirk and say, oh holy hades! You’ll be panting by the perfectly written ending!

Loved this story

Loved Lizzy and Vain! Great brother's best friend story. These two were so great together! They've hidden their feelings from each other thinking that her brother would have a problem with their relationship. So good!

This is entertaining and romantic. The characters likable are hot and the storyline is interesting. Once I started reading it, I had a hard time putting it down.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my voluntary and honest opinion of it.

Short.. Good story, but Vain while being tough, and sexy is too soft for me lol. He should have made her work for it more.

A great series

Vain and Liszt story was short and sweet. I am so glad that lizzy’s brother was so accepting of the two of them being together.

Running from a hot man

Lizzy thought she could run from Vain, but when your Kent to be with someone, things have a funny way of working themselves out. This was another great story from Jenika Snow. I can not wait to read the next story in thus series.

Sigh, this book is like jumping on a moving train. I don't know, there's nothing to dislike except it felt like there was a large part of the story missing.
Didn't hate it, I'm a big Jenika Snow fan, but it was choppy.
