A broken past doesn’t stop him from wanting a future with her.



Loch


I’d never wanted anything for myself until Nina stepped into my life. We were just two lives that came from ruined childhoods, growing up together, relying on each other. And my sole mission was to protect her at all costs.


I was happy and content making her my priority.
Until I wasn’t because I wanted her as mine.
We were connected in all senses of the word. But I wasn’t a good man. I was a member of the Devil’s Boys MC, brothers in arms who would do anything to get by in life.
And Nina was the center of it all, an integral part of all of our lives.


But it was that thread that drew us together that kept me away.
I was afraid of losing the one thing that mattered most to me, of crossing an invisible line from being friends to lovers.
But without risk, there wasn’t a reward, and Nina would be the greatest reward I’d ever gotten.

Warning: It might be short, but it gets right to the point! Dirty and sweet, it gives you exactly what you need: filth with that HEA!

3.5 stars!

Like the warning ”says it might short but it’s sweet hot and filthy with a HEA.” I really enjoyed this quick read! love LOCH and Nina they had an incredible chemistry. My favorite part about this author’s quick reads is there is no OW/OM drama right to the point. Looking forward to Merc’s book. 💜

Since the day Nina entered the same foster home as Loch and the other guys, she's been an integral part of his life. He knew she was special and they became fast friends. As they both grew up, that friendship became so much more on both sides, and while neither hide the looks of longing aimed at each other, they never said anything about it.

The guys formed an MC club, the Devil's Boys, and Nina is a part of that yet she isn't. She's not in the MC per se, but she does work with them and help where she can. She's decided she's done waiting. Loch has to feel for her what she does him, those looks have to mean something.

Loch wants Nina with every fiber of his being, while knowing at the same time she deserves better, and he's worried about losing what they already have. However, when a drunk prospect gets handsy, Loch has had enough and stakes his claim. Everyone else knew she was his, but it's time Nina knows it too.

Loch and Nina come together *pun not intended* easily, both knowing it was meant to be, and are already planning for the future they know they'll have. But first the club must reluctantly deal with a group of outlaws in order to keep their finances where they need to be and help Nina's friend who suddenly finds herself in danger...and Merc, the club president, steps up in more ways than one.

One-click now and follow along as two people, connected since the moment they met, finally explore their destiny. On a safety note, while it isn't said, it is implied that both characters are virgins. We know Nina is, and we have her thoughts on NEVER seeing Loch with a woman, and his on how he's been in love with her for years. Also, Nina was wearing pigtails when she and Loch met which places her as a kid, and Loch is only four years older, so the likelihood of him being with anyone prior to them meeting is slim and nothing is said to dispute that. So, yeah, I'm interpreting it as they'll be each other's one and only. LOL

**I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.**

This is the first book in the Devil’s Boys MC Series by Jenika Snow. Lochlyn Badger is 28 years old and the Vice President of the Devil’s Boys MC. Nina is 24 years old, she has known Loch and the other founding members of the MC since they were kids. She loves all the members like brothers except for Loch who she is deeply in love with. Loch loves Nina and he’ll kill anyone who tries to come between them.

Beautiful!

Great READ! This MC story is not what anyone would expect but I love that it's very light on violence, debauchery you would normally get in an MC romance book, fast pace, insta-love? Love It! Definitely 5 stars.

I'm usually not one to gravitate towards MC books but Give It Up by Jenika Snow has definitely got me rethinking that. Even though it was a short read I was more than entertained and left wanting more. I love that there's a background already set for the characters, with everyone growing up together and having each other's backs. Now as adults and that bond is only growing stronger, especially between Loch and Nina, who have always had more than friendly feelings for one another but have been too afraid to cross the line. Although that never stopped Loch from keeping any other guy away from Nina and it seems he's stayed away from the other club girls as well. I didn't get near enough of his dirty thoughts or foul mouth and hope for more of him in the upcoming series. Give It Up was a fun, quick, sizzling story and a great introduction to the Devil's Boys MC and what can be expected to come next.

This is the first book in The Devil’s Boys MC series it’s a very short read but still very enjoyable.

Loch has wanted Nina for what feels like forever but as the vice president of The Devil’s Boys he knows the possible dangers she could face by being with him and keeps his distance as much as he can but of anyone touches what is his he will destroy them.

Nina has been a part of the Devil’s Boys since they were founded and she loves all the members as if they were her brothers, well all except for one Loch, she’s so deeply in love with him but scared if she makes a move she will lose the friendship she cherishes but for how much longer can she deny her true feelings? That is until someone dares to touch what is Loch’s and they finally give in to the need they have for one another.

These two characters were always destined to be together and although this is a short read it’s still action packed and I am very much looking forward to Merc’s book.

5 Stars!

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, and dirty talking naughty fun.

This is Nina and Loch’s story. Nina knows Loch is protecting her, but she wants more. They are friends, but can they be more? Or is friends all they have? What if they go beyond friends and it doesn’t work out? They are already ruined from the childhood they had can they figure out what they want before the ruin the future also? He wants her, but can she be his? Can these two really have a future together?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

WOW just WOW is what I said after reading this book. I LOVE MC books and I love the world so when I saw Jenika had a new series coming out I just had to read it. I was not disappointed with this book at all but I will say if your a true MC lover this book does not have a lot of violence and debauchery like other MC books which to me was a breath of fresh air.

Loch my God do I wish he was real because he is the type of man I would want. He is so protective and loving of Nina that he was more like a big brother than a friend and that is how they saw each other at first as brother and sister but then somewhere along the line they started to develop feelings for each other. Neither one will tell the other how they feel but finally one of them breaks and tells the other how they truly feel. This is when the story kicks off and all the fun stuff comes out.

This is a must read MC romance story that will have you on the edge of your seat wanting no needing more!

This was a short and sweet with plenty of sexiness to it. I read it all within one afternoon not only because it was a short read but because I couldn't put it down. I LOVED Loch!!! That boy I want in my corner and bed at ALL times!


"This is a new MC series and if this book proves it is going to be hot. Loch grew up with the other members of the MC in foster care. Nina grew up with them and they all protect her, but Loch watches over her and protects her the most.

Nina has grown up with these guys and she wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. She loves Loch but hasn’t told him. This story is short and intense and I couldn’t put it down. This will be a favorite of anyone who likes MC stories. I can’t wait for the next book, Merc’s story!" ~Natalie

I really liked this story. Of course, it's a new MC story which is one of my favs to read.
Loch has been in love with Nina but he's never stepped up and let her know. He's protected her. Now he's a member of the Devil's Boys MC and Nina is an intrinsic part of their lives.
Nina has loved Loch forever and he's always been there watching her, protecting. Nina has decided that it's time to come clean and now she just has to get Loch alone. She is always at the MC doing the books, stocking the bar and just making sure everything is in place. So picking a time is not as easy as you would think.

Haaaaaah!

The entire setting of this book about the hero already being a goner for the heroine and so is she but nobody has acted on it yet.. I looooove.
This is a new series by Jenika Snow. And as always whrn she releases something I close my eyes and scream MINE MINE MINE!
I absolutely adored this. Loch and Nina were totally perfect. It's a quick story with enough story and steam for a crazed up insta lover like me.

Short and sexy

Give it Up you’ll meet Nina and Loch. And the sexual chemistry between these two is off the charts.

Nina and Loch both have come from the foster system. And Loch has taken the role of being her protector. Their feelings have shifted, but no one acts on them. Does Nina and Loch finally cross the line?

Give it Up was short, but didn’t lack of anything. I absolutely love this book, and I can’t wait for the next book.

Amazing believable Insta-passion

I have found that I have a hard time enjoying instant passion short story smut, but this one was amazing. I know these books are meant as fantasy love, but I can never quite buy the "man meets woman and they are in love the next day," trope. The history between these two is described so well, the story was completely believable. Can't wait confess more stories by Snow.

Strong, sexy, badass, possessive, and protective.. Nina is the love of his life, she's sexy and strong. Love their story. Looking forward to Merc's story..

Short but sweet and maybe a little dirty

I don't have a problem with short stories in fact some of my favorites are short stories but this felt a little too short, you just don't get to spend enough time with the characters. I did like where the story was going though maybe the next one will have more....everything.

I really enjoyed this one. It was nice and short but still the amount of love and chemistry between the two MCs was off the wall. That's not something you usually find in novellas. I love this author. One out my top fav insta love authors.
