Slow Ride

Powertools: Hot Rides #2

by Jayne Rylon

Hot Rides, Book 2

When tragedy struck, the loss of Jordan and Wren's shared lover ripped them apart.

Guilt and shame made it impossible for Agent Jordan Mikalski to look the love of his life in the eye. If he couldn't face her, he sure as hell couldn't live with her or make love to her or even be the man to comfort her in the depths of her grief.

Wren Asbery's mourning threw her into a deep depression she wasn't sure she'd ever climb out of, made worse by Jordan's abandonment in the time of her greatest need. For that she'll never forgive that bastard.

After years of slow healing they realize they're both attracted to the same man, which means they have some things to figure out fast. Will Kason Cox be doomed to lust after two people who can't stand each other or will he be able to become the glue that sticks them back together?

This is a standalone book in the Hot Rides series and includes an HEA with no cheating. The series is part of the greater universe where both the Powertools and Hot Rods books are also set, so you can visit with many of your previous favorite characters and see what they're up to now!

Words cannot express just how much I absolutely loved Slow Ride. Since meeting Wren and Jordan in other books in this series, I couldn’t wait to read their story—find out just what happened between them for there to be so much animosity and anger and hurt. But I just wasn’t prepared for all the love that still simmered beneath the surface.

Love that never really died, even through horrific tragedy, through mind-numbing grief, Jordan and Wren still loved each other, even if they couldn’t be together again.

Or could they? Could they put their past behind them? Learn from their mistakes and really not let go of their love again? Could Kason be the glue that holds them together? Or will self-denial, or the bright shining light of celebrity keep the three of them apart?

God, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what was to happen between Jordan, Wren and Kason. Would love finally win? Or would living a lie and an unsatisfied, unhappy life be in the future? I cheered when Wren and Jordan fought for their love and their truth. And cheered even louder when Kason finally fought for his own happiness too.

I swooned, I cheered, I blushed, and I loved every minute spent with Jordan, Wren and Kason. You will too! ~ Missy, 5 stars

***4 Stars***

After seeing the tension between Wren and Jordan in Wild Ride, I was totally looking forward to seeing how the rift between them would be mended and who would become the third in the poly-romance and I wasn’t disappointed. The emotional gut punches were balanced out with humor, a lot of heart and a bit of meddling/help from those who’d been there done that and wanted to see them get their HEA.

I really liked Wren, Jordan and Kason. All of them are really good people who are struggling to let go of their pasts, find forgiveness and redemption while figuring out how to be happy in their present and futures. Their journey, from start to finish, was a rocky with each of them at different stages of acceptance of their wants and needs, but with a little (ok A LOT) of help from their friends, they each have those ‘lightbulb’ moments and prove that they are perfect for each other.

This is another great addition to the series, and world. The writing was engaging and I enjoyed the multiple third person POV’s. As I said, there was a lot help in getting Wren, Jordan and Kason together, but as the saying goes ‘It takes a village.’ and I loved how the Powertools, Hot Rods and Hot Rides crew all stepped in to help. And then there was the set up for the next book, it’s definitely going to be explosive and I cannot wait to see how it all plays out.

Hauntingly beautiful is the only way to describe Slow Ride. Jayne Rylon was able to pull out every emotion in this story of heartbreak, forbidden love and love found again.

I was surprised with how emotional Slow Ride was. I started off crying, went to astonished and then got my happily-ever-after. But, not without a few bumps in the road from both Jordan and Kason. Wren was the rock through everything, knew that it was time to stop her mourning and start living. But, she wasn't sure if she would ever find what her and Jordan had with Johnny. She saw it all around her with the Hot Rides and Hot Rods but could never wish that for herself. Until Kason strides into the shop and her heart skips a beat. She's willing to start living again with him … then Jordan walks into the picture again and she knows that her life could be what she hoped for.

Kason was the wild card throughout the whole story. He has hidden his desires because so many people depend on him. His image is all that is drummed into his head. But, it's his drummer and his bodyguard that make him see that life is too short for him to deny his own happiness. One encounter with Jordan … one encounter with Wren … that's all it takes for him to know that all his hidden desires can be fulfilled with both of them. Now, he has to find the nerve to take the next step.

Slow Ride was truly a beautiful story. There was heartbreak in the beginning, truth in the middle and acceptance in the end. The characters were all well written. You understood who they were, inside … you understood why they had the feelings they had. I loved the tribute to Johnny throughout the story and how they felt he was with them, guiding them through some tumultuous times. But, they never explained to Kason why “Secret Love” was so special to them. I would have loved to see his reaction to that. But, Jayne really did write a beautiful story and I loved how everything finally came together.

It took too long to get the trio together, so there wasn’t enough time to see them all happy together. And why did they have to come out publicly? Can’t it just be their business? Or is that not possible when you are a major music celeb?

Bought from kindle.

Jayne Rylon's 'Slow Ride' was an emotional journey that I was not prepared for, and that I devoured, hungrily, as I got to experience Wren, Jordan, and Kason's story.
They say that love conquers all, but sometimes, what needs to be conquered can seem insurmountable. The obstacles that face Wren, Jordan, and Kason as they struggle to find out whether they can be what each of the others need was a beautiful and evocative experience, showcasing the depths of passion and understanding, as well as the necessary strength to stand up for what is right, what you believe in, and what needs to be done, even if it might leave you broken hearted at the end of it.
Wren is just coming to terms with the fact that she does have a place to settle, even though she's felt adrift for the past five years. Jordan has been stunted, just going through the motions, also stuck out at sea with no land in sight. And then there's Kason, a man that has been living the life he thinks he's supposed to, the life that is expected of him, the life that will support those around him, and somewhere along that path, he lost himself, he lost what he truly wanted, what he truly needed, who he truly was. Whether it's by faith, chance, or happenstance, Kason rolls into the shop one day, and Wren is behind the counter, and sparks fly. But Wren has never stopped loving Jordan, even after he broke her heart, and their lives are connected, even as they try to stay apart. Can they overcome lies, weakness, heartache, and society, to find their truth?
I adored this second book in Jayne's Hot Rides series. The supporting cast is wonderful, tying the whole story together as you watch the main protagonists dance around each other, and hopefully, see what is right in front of them, what they need, which is each other. I really felt for Wren, who has had to be so strong, and is incredibly stoic, but who sometimes just needs someone to be strong with her and for her. And Jordan, closing himself off because he didn't know what to do, couldn't accept what to do; it broke my heart, and his dedication and perseverance was well written and redeeming. And then there's sweet, loveable, confused, Kason. At the pinnacle of his career, having made some pretty big changes, and then, things suddenly change meaning, change importance, change relevance, and he's stuck not knowing which way is up, and what is right. Their love story is real, is broken, is healing, is beautiful. You won't regret giving it a chance!

Another hot, emotional story from Jayne Rylon.

Slow Ride is book two in the Hot Rides series. While you probably can read it OK as a standalone, I highly recommend reading book one, Wild Ride, first. It contains background information that will enhance your enjoyment of Slow Ride. Having said that you should also know that Jayne gives you enough of the background in Slow Ride that you won't be lost if you don't read Wild Ride first.

The blurb for the book is accurate and we know from it that Jordan and Wren suffered a terrible loss that tore them apart. Slow Ride is about them finding their way back to each other again and finding another partner to complete them.

Popular country singer, Kason Cox, has been hiding something for years but when he meets Jordan, he can no longer suppress that part of himself that is attracted to men as well as women. When these two get together the sparks fly and it's hot as fire.

When Jordan realizes that Kason and Wren are attracted to each other he feels like he can finally embrace the part of himself that he denied when he and Wren were together with Johnny. Wren, Kason and Jordan have the potential for something really special if Kason can just be true to himself and quit worrying about what everyone else thinks.

Slow Ride got all of my emotions involved. I was so sad for what happened to Johnny and the resulting effect it had on Jordan and Wren. I was happy when Kason finally gave in to what he wanted with Jordan and Wren. It was so good to also touch base with the gang from Hot Rods and Powertools as they helped Devra's (from Wild Ride) dream of opening her own restaurant come true.

Slow Ride is a complete story with an ending for Kason, Jordan and Wren but the last chapter sets up the next book, Hard Ride, which will feature Kyra, Ollie, and Van. This is a really great series and I can't wait to read Hard Ride.

An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

For real, I read the description of this book, then the next day decided I wanted to read it. Didn’t remember the title or author! Spent the next three days plowing through GR before I came across it again. Just based on the description.

I’m not familiar with the rest of JR’s world here, so for my experience it was too much. I had to google her place names. The story is set in southern Ohio, FYI. I didn’t know the other characters or care about them. I don’t care about Kukla, Fran, and Ollie...I mean, Kyra, Van, and Ollie, and they were given the last paragraph in the book. So the end was a let down.

I also didn’t appreciate the admittedly subtle political digs. I’m already reading a ménage. Stop preaching at me with all the ice crap and charity work. Again, this filler detracted from the MCs in a big way. For example, when Wren flips out and Jordan says he won’t put her through that again, it was so poignant that I almost cried....until he said he didn’t like the direction his job had taken anyway. Yeah, killing two birds - one of them political - is so flipping romantic. Killed the moment for this reader.

Despite me never connecting to the heroine - was she a tomboy? was she a debutante? and WHY? - the male characters were fleshed out. Wren is never fully explained. There were some great scenes, though. Switchbacks in attitude that I didn’t expect that were skillfully written. Wasn’t enough to overcome the tendency of the text to break out in song like a bad musical, however, with an enormous cast of characters.

I would love to see another author attempt this dynamic. Because the description was rather unique to the genre...a trio that fails and then two get together later? I felt cheated out of it because Jordan and Wren evidently had contact in another book that occurs between the prologue and main story of this book. Sigh, I guess that’s enough to hit the spoiler button.

[Tracy Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved the Hot Rods series and the first two books in the Hot Rides series definitely do not disappoint. I do have to say that given the conversation at the end of the first book I was a little surprised at which two men were the lead characters, but it was a good surprise. I cannot wait for the next book now.
Wren thought she had everything her heart desired and then a tragedy struck, and her world was blown to pieces. The one person she thought she could lean on through it all was having a hard time dealing and walked away.
Years later after taking a job with the Hot Rods/Hot Rides crews and seeing how happy they all are, Wren is finally ready to try again. As soon as she makes that decision Kason Cox walks through the shop door and the chemistry is instant and explosive. They decide to slowly explore the attraction between them. Jordan Mikalski decides it is time to man up and apologize for walking away from Wren when she needed him most, when he does both, he & Wren realize they still have feelings for each other. Kason sees Jordan and is attracted to him but due to pressures from some people in his life he tries to deny it.
Can the three of them work through their issues to find happiness? Will Kason let the other people in his life dictate how he lives it and with whom? This story has a few heartbreaking moments that are mixed in with a lot of steamy sexy times that you have come to expect from Jayne Rylon. I would highly recommend this entire series.

Emotional and Hot. Ms. Rylon gets deep.

Slow Ride is a roller coaster ride of emotional. Learning to love in unconventional ways and finding happiness to have it stripped away in the blink of an eye. Wren and Jordan both suffered the same loss. Losing a loved one, a lover, had rocked the foundation of their world. The pain remained to great and Jordan and he chose to walk away. Jordan is strong and dominant, yet doesn’t believe he had the softness needed to nurture Wren the way he believes she should be.

Fives years later paths cross, with all the old feeling and desires still burning strong. A new player to the game has changed the board so to speak. Kason just maybe an angel set from a past lover or just happened to walk in to the right place at the right time. There’s something about him that makes Jordan and Wren wake from the fog of their past and start looking towards the future again.

Ms. Rylon completely surprised me with the unexpected emotional depth of Slow Ride. Ladies you might want to pull out the tissues as well as grab the fan. Slow Ride is deep on an emotional and sexual level. Mason, Wren and Jordan story wraps around the reader like a blanket. You can’t help but to get emotionally involved and invested with them. There is a touch of darkness to the story but one that gets to see the light at the end. If you have read Ms. Rylon’s book Middle Man, which is my favorite of her works, you will complete fall for Slow Ride.

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Jordan, Wren and Kason. Jordon and Wren have a history and Jordon doesn't come out well in it. He wasn't sure of his place and when their third and his best friend died, he couldn't handle the loss. Wren didn't handle it well either but she expected Jordan and had to push through alone. I love that in spite of Jordan's handled their loss Wren found a way to forgive him. Would they make the same mistakes with Kason? I love that Kason gave the appearance of acceptance when in reality he was scared to accept himself. Would he find the courage to take what he needs? Ms. Rylon did not make it easy for Jordan, Wren and Kason to find their happily ever after. I love that she focused on the emotions and the journey to a happy triad. I loved seeing Jordan and Wren find forgiveness. I loves seeing Kason struggle toward acceptance. I thought Ms. Rylon's characters felt real and their emotional growth believable. This story is well written and full of highs and lows. This story does not need to be read in chronological order to enjoy the journey to a loving non-traditional relationship. I cannot wait to see where Ms. Rylon will take us next in this world she has created.

Slow Ride is the second book in the Hot Rides series written by author Jayne Rylon. This steamy MMF story can easily be read as a standalone romance. The Hot Rides books are set in the Powertools and Hot Rods world, and it’s always fun to see some of the other characters from Jayne’s other series. If you are like me and enjoy knowing the backstories, I suggest reading Wild Ride, the first book in this series.

Slow Ride tells the story of Wren Asbery, the newest member of the Hot Rides crew. Wren is enjoying working with the gang, and she’s finally feeling like part of a family. Five years ago she was in a relationship with Jordon and Johnny, but disaster struck, and she’s been alone since. When Wren sees Jordon again, her feelings for him arise. The only issue is that she started seeing Kason Cox, the famous singer. When Jordon and Kason meet up at one of the Hot Rides events, they decide to go somewhere private to discuss their situation.

Another fabulous story by Jayne Rylon! I can’t wait for the next one in the series!

Wow! Another wonderful addition to the ever growing family! Well a few, maybe, and soon to be some more! Jayne Rylon has me completely captivated by this motley crew of unlikely family/community. The love and support they all offer is amazing.

Through heart breaking loss so devastating it takes time and the love of good friends to come to a place of acceptance. Touching scenes that leave a reader gasping for the next sentence, imagining what it is like for the characters you are reading on the page! A touching good bye and a stroke of luck. A song to remember and a single night of choice to change the future. This story was amazing from start to finish. Wren, Jordan and Kason are great characters, all with their own struggles trying to move forward together despite the past, and the negative influences of others.

Thank you Jayne for another opportunity to have an ARC for this great series!

Again a little teasing glance at another relationship perhaps in the works. Can't wait!

Slow Ride is the second book in the series Powertools: Hot Rides. This story is about Wren, Jordan, and Kason.

Wren is working at Hot Rides and is contending with the loss of both of her lovers - 1 to tragedy and the other, Jordan, to miscommunication and shared grief. Jordan is an ICE agent who is struggling to cope with the loss of a lover and his regret for pushing Wren away. Jason is a country rock singer who feels trapped by the image he is forced to portray to his fans.

I won’t spoil the Slow Ride these three likable characters take together, but I enjoyed every moment I spent reading their story!

I have not read the previously published Powertools and Hot Rods series, but as some of those characters were introduced in this story, I didn’t feel lost. We also get to visit with the 3 main characters from Wild Ride, book 1, in this series.

The scenes between Wren, Jordan, and Kason were hot and emotional. This book has everything: love, romance, angst, laughter, pain, tears, and even a villain on the way to a HEA. I cannot wait for Book 3!!

This is Book 2 in the Powertools: Hot Rides series. I do want to warn you right up front that this is a Ménage book and it has some awesome hot monkey sex happening between the pages. Now don’t say that you weren’t warned! We meet Wren and Jordan in Book 1. They were lovers but broke up due to a tragedy overseas when Johnny was killed. Jordan walked away and Wren was never the same. Now they are back in the same town together and Wren wants nothing to do with him. Country singer Kason Cox comes to town and sparks fly between him and Wren. This is such an emotional book that it will tear you apart as you read it. There’s the love between Wren, Jordan and Johnny. Then the grief that they go through. You have to read it to see everything that they go through, together and apart. Jayne Rylon just continues to put out good books that you just can’t help but love. I can’t wait to see who comes up in the next book!

This is the second book in the series. This one for me is filled with a lot emotion. The beginning my heart just broke for the characters. I could feel their pain. There were many subtlety sweet moments that were a big impact for the characters. Example is the autographed backstage pass. It means so much for the characters to feel connected once again. It was beautiful watching Jordan, Wren, and Kason together. Wren finding the a peace that fills the hole she's had inside her. Kason and Jordan exploring the new path in life they never thought they could experience. It's not going to be easy especially with Kason being in the public spotlight, but with the support of the Hot Rides and Hot Rods gang they may be able to find their balance at a HEA. There is a ton of heat and chemistry between the three, but you can feel the connection between them which makes it beautiful. If you're a fan of menage Jayne Rylon is the author for you! I loved the set up for the next book.

Slow Ride is the second in the Hot Rides series. It can be read as a standalone, but characters from Powertools, Hot Rods and the first Hot Ride book are also in this book. If you are looking for a sweet, clean traditional couple romance, keep looking. If sexy alpha men, strong, capable women and polyamorous relationships appeal to you - this is the series you have been looking for.

The book opens with a tear jerker. Jordan and Wren are torn apart after the death of their lover, Johnny. They both struggle to move forward, but find it almost impossible. Five years later, they are thrown back together with a new third - a famous country singer, Kason, who Johnny loved singing with. Can they find healing and forgiveness for each other and themselves? Can Kason live such a non-traditional lifestyle in the public eye? This book will take you on a wide range of emotions as this triad find their HEA.

[Amanda Bordner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Slow Ride by Jayne Rylon had so so much that I loved in every single way.

Wren and Jordan have been through the biggest form of heartbreak that they aren't sure it's something they can get back from. When they lost Johnny, their lives were torn apart, and both of them could barely be around one another.

When Kason comes in the picture, he is living a life that he isn't sure he is truly happy in anymore, he wants to find his purpose again. When he rolls into the shop while Wren is working, the sparks are instant between them. These two are so drawn to one another, but Wren has so much healing to do, it seems almost impossible.

Can these three characters come together to help one another forgive, heal, and find their second chance that doesn't always come around twice in life.

I really couldn't put this book down. It was a great escape each day, and I found myself reading any time I had the chance to. Absolutely adore Jayne Rylon and cannot wait to see what she does next!

Slow Ride by author Jayne Rylon was so freakin’ good that I devoured this book all in one sitting. I’d been anticipating reading Jordan and Wren’s story after their appearance in book 1 of this series and the author did not disappoint. Their backstory was so heartbreaking and emotional that I had tears in my eyes. I could not wait to see them get a second chance at happiness and it was only fitting that it would be with Kason Cox. There was so much chemistry between all three of them and the sex scenes were scorching hot that I had to fan myself. I really enjoyed seeing characters from the Hot Rod series show up in scenes and get glimpses of what’s to come in the next book in this series. I am loving being back in the Powertools and Hot Rods world and I am already anxiously waiting for more.

I have been looking forward to Wren and Jordan's story since the end of Wild Ride and I was not disappointed! The three main characters, Wren, Jordan, and Kason, are all very likable and have real chemistry but overcoming the hurts of the past will be challenging for Wren and Jordan, and convincing Kason to be true to himself might be near impossible. The writing is great and the story is emotional and touching. Devra, Trevon, and Quinn, among other others from the Hot Rides series make a welcome appearance in this book as well. They, like the entire cast of characters in these interconnected series - PowerTools, Hot Rods, and Hot Rides - have a lot of heart and it's pretty awesome how they all love and support each other. I really enjoyed this book.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.

Jayne certainly knows how to write a ménage story, I was glued to the pages!

Wren, Jordan and Kason come together after some trials and tribulations. Miscommunication kept Jordan away from Wren, after the death of their partner but after both meet Kason, they have the feeling that things can work out with him.

Kason though is not sure of what he wants or for those around him. Kason is a singer and in the spotlight and is afraid of what his fans will think of his wants.

I shed a few tears at the end of the story, this triad really needed each other, they were the only ones that could heal each other’s hearts. I totally enjoyed the Powertools gang and the the Hot Rods gang making cameos, so fun to read about them.

Go get this story, it will make you wish for your own triad!

Slow Ride begins with the painful back story for Wren, Johnny, and Jordan then leaps five years in time and picks up with Jordan still working as an ICE agent and Wren working at Hot Rides with Quinn, Derva and Trevon. Wren is starstruck when Kason Cox, Johnny's favourite singer, arrives at Hot Rides with one of his bikes wanting the crew to work their magic on the machine. Kason gives Wren several backstage passes and leaves the bike with the crew. Kason is drawn Wren and uses the pretence of checking on the progress of the bike to visit with her. As a recovering drug and alcohol abuser Kason finds the company of the members of Hot Rides, Hot Rods and Powertools comfortable and supportive. Wren wants to be in a committed relationship with Jordon and Kason but Kason's notoriety is proving a problem and Kason's manager is determined to make sure the trio stays broken.

Slow ride is Wren, Jordan and Kason’s story. We met Wren and Jordan in the first Hot Rides book and there story was left unfinished. You first learn the backstory of Jordan and Wren and their third partner Johnny. Their ending is tragic and 5 years has passed. Wren meets Kason by chance while working at Hot Rides and feels a connection instantly. Kason also feels the connection but is also trying to get his musical career back on track. Enter Jordan and things become even more intense. The development of their relationship and the obstacles in their way makes for a great and heartfelt read. Again it’s so refreshing to dip back into the Hot Rods universe and the introduction and Van and Kyra and Ollie’s possible story has me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book. Another great read that is sizzling and endearing.

Some books pull at your emotions in a beautiful, heart-wrenching, yet utterly fulfilling way and Slow Ride is one of those books. Wren and Jordan have a painful backstory, having lost one of their partners, Johnny. Neither was able to find their way through the pain and stay with each other. Five years later, they realize they are both in love with the same man and it becomes clear pretty quickly, these two are meant to be with each other, despite the pain and baggage from their pasts. Kason was Johnny's favorite singer and Wren and Jordan are both drawn to him. Kason is not without his own demons, as a former addict, each day is a struggle. As these three people spend time together and slowly heal each other, they try to form something lasting, but Kason's fame and his manager may stand in their way.

When disaster strikes, you find out just how tough your inner strength is. But what if you discover that it is not resiliant enough to survive? Who will get hurt when you leave? For Wren, realizing that her love was not enough to keep the relationship alive when one of her partner's died is devastating. Closed off from the possibility of getting hurt again, when Kason walks through the door years later, she hesitates. But will her hope be stronger than her fear of losing another? For Kason, will his fear of negative publicity keep him from expressing his desire? For Jordan, will his emotional closure be opened? Obstacles are only barriers if allowed to become one, but the issues each of these characters face seem insurmountable. Will love conquer all?

My oh my! Jayne Rylon does not disappoint! Wren and Jordan have history. They tried a manage relationship before but were both devastated when their third was killed in the line of duty. She hasn't spoken to him in five long years. It's when he has come to the aide of her friends that she is forced to look at her feelings. When Kason walks into Hot Rides, he stirs something in Wren that she hasn't felt in a long time. Could be be the one to pull her out of her despair?
I loved reading their journey. They have such emotional baggage that intertwines with each other that it is explosive. The doubt that Kason has, the groveling Jordan must do and Wren's heart that needs mending. I was engrossed in them and couldn't put this down.

Did it again Jayne Rylon. I loved this book, it is filled with everything to keep the reaser interested, and emotions all over the place. Wren and Jordan have a lot to come back from. Jordan is a great guy that made the biggest mistake of his life. Now is his chance to make it up to Wren. Kason has made his interest in Wren known, and his hidden feelings for Jordan are so hard to ignore. Their journey of self discovery and learning to admit their loveand what they truly desire is an amazing read. A great book that lets the reader visit with the Powertool and Hotrod families again was great. Hotrides is so far an amazing series with characters that are so real and their lives intersect in such a loving family way, that you want to be part of it.

I admit it, this book caught me completely off-guard with the feelings, with the sadness, and despair that rolled off the pages. I didn’t really read the blurb, my fault, but I think that turned out to be a wonderful thing. I got to experience everything with Wren and Jordan. The absolute overwhelming feeling of loss, and then transitioning into hope, and finally settling down with their happiness. Kason didn’t slouch either, with his confusion, his denial, his internal conflicts

These characters grabbed me, took me into their world, and let me accompany them as they figured things out, and found their balance. I loved every single second of it!

[Rachael · Rating 5 out of 5]

The tension was mounting in Wild Ride with Wren and Jordan. It comes to a head when Kason enters Hot Rides. What starts out as going to a country concert turns into a tough relationship, but one worth fighting for.

Wren and Jordan have a history.....a very passionate and love lost history. One that Jordan realized he made a massive mistake with. Now 5 years later they are fighting to get back together, but are they willing to add a third? Will Jordan admit what he has always wanted and will Wren have her dreams come true as well? You will have to read Slow Ride to find out.

This is another Power Tools hit from Jayne!

I only put this book down once...at 3 am when I finished it. The story of Wren and Jordan is heartbreaking. After the death of their partner Jordan is torn apart by guilt and Wren is destroyed after Jordan leaves without a word. Wren never looked at another man until Kason enters her life. He himself is struggling with finding himself. The strong attraction between Kason, Wren and Jason is undeniable. Risking his career Kason has to make a decision. Deny who he is or finally be the person he wants to be.
This book is amazing! Jayne Rylon is clearly becoming one of my favorite authors. Her writing is exquisite and keeps you glued to the pages. This is a must read!
