Coyote searched her face as if seeking permission. “What are you thinking about right now?”
“It’d make you blush,” she promised.
“Try me,” he rasped, sending shivers through her.
Fox locked eyes with him, unable to resist. “Trying you is what I was thinking about.”

Love coyote from the four horsemen mc books he now gets his own book in a new series this is his story. You don’t need to have read the four horseman to follow this story but you know you rally want to and they are great books too 💕
Get your geek on with a touch of macho he is not an in your face Alpha he just gives you “feels”.
I love him. Fox (Sky) is good too as are the rest of the characters. Great to have some of the horsemen show up occasionally in the book Looking forward to more of the series.
I was gifted an Arc for an honest review.

Oh my gosh, Sara Rayne is just the best! She has given us an exciting, tense, super sexy, and at the same time so sweet, story that refuses to let you put it down! She has introduced us to whole new set of memorable characters and brought back some of our old favorites...who doesn’t love a Horseman?! Jailbreak is centered around one of my favorite Horsemen, Coyote, and his sexy cyber love, Sky, or Fox to most. The chemistry between these two is definitely electric, they have you rooting for them from the beginning. Love this storyline and the side stories of the supporting characters, all of whom I can’t wait to get their own stories! Great job Ms. Rayne, thanks for bringing back some of my favorite characters and introducing me to a whole new set of faves...you’re amazing! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

I received an ARC of jailbreak and I loved this book.
Sara has loveable and interesting characters, the tie in with her four horsemen series was flawless.
The interaction between the main characters Fox and Coyote is amusing. Obviously the similarities in both characters pasts make them jaded on theor way to love. But they certainly bounce of each other well. The year long courtship or chess matches means they were more than ready for each other when they finally realise their love.
The pingpong of conversations between the friends, Made me feel like I was actually in the room with them. I had a smile on my face trying to keep up with the convos. It was like tryin to keep up with my own group of friends.
Riley is still amazing, though most of the descriptions of her makes me think of Sheldon from the big bang theory.
I cant wait for the next book in the series

I was given an ARC of Jailbreak in exchange for an honest review.
I feel like I have waited forever for this book, which brings back the character of Coyote from the Four Horsemen series by Cynthia and Sara Rayne. It is worth the wait!
In this book, Coyote finally meets Fox who featured fleetingly in the Four Horsemen series and whom we met in Malware. Their relationship is beautiful and real and the story around them is exciting and full of action and some really emotional moments.
I can't recommend this book enough. You don't have to have read the Four Horsemen series to enjoy the Idle Hands series, but why not treat yourself.

Thank you to the amazing Sara Rayne I got an arc for jailbreak and it was absolutely amazing! Like Omg! Coyete and Fox are the perfect match for each other. And I really can't wait for the rest of the series to come! When you get the chance to read all the books by Sara and Cynthia Rayne I highly recommend that you do!

4.5 Stars!
JailBreak is the first book in the Idle Hands series, although technically there's a prequel novella first, MalWare, where we meet Riley and her team. I suggest reading the books in order, not only is MalWare a fantastic introduction to the series, but it sets up the events that happen in JailBreak.
I will be perfectly honest here, lately, I've grown disillusioned with most MF books. Actually, other than Sierra Simone or Sarina Bowen, I don't think I've read any MF books this year. However, I was intrigued by the series premise and with the promise of at least one MM book, so I bit the bait and I'm very happy I did.
Fox was so much more than what I expected. She had tons of layers and her backstory was heartbreaking and explained a lot of how she behaved. I loved that Coyote could see past the costumes and fall for the woman afraid of being left behind yet again. I just loved how their relationship progressed, it was natural and organic and damn, but their chemistry was enough to start a fire out of thin air.
Sara Rayne writes strong female leads that I found refreshing. Riley, Fox and Faith are smart, kickass women that you definitely want in your corner. So it was a pleasure seeing more of them here. And of course, I loved Colton and Alex, too, and I can't wait for their book which comes next, especially after that small scene there at the end of the book! *fans self*
I was absolutely enthralled by the action and the ongoing plotline and can't wait for more. I just can't get enough, so I hope Ms. Rayne hurries up with the next installment(s) because she certainly left me wanting for more. Highly recommendable!

Holy Friggin Ballz this book was amazing! I am a loyal fan of both Sara and her sister Cynthia, these ladies books are soooooooo good! I was introduced to this dynamic sister duo in the Four Horsemen MC series fell in love with the series and have read everything these beauties write. I'm one of those readers who hates reading a book about main characters when their back story have been introduced in previous books. That being said, I feel you could probably read the Idle Hands Series alone but would encourage you to read The Four Horsemen MC series and the Lone Star Mob series as your introduced to both Fox and Coyote in those books, you seriously won't be disappointed
This series has your tech genius squad of 6 (counting Will until I read differently), an FBI agent on a mission, a sexy Tardis riding Horsemen, throw in a robot dog (yes I said robot dog :)) and it all adds you to the best book I've read all year! . I have patiently waited (more like DYING) for Coyote and Fox's story and this whole cast of characters just pushed what I thought I wanted their story to be into the stratosphere, pure genius! It is the best book recipe ever it has your sexy smart Alpha males, your strong, sassy really really Smart bad ass females, sexual chemistry that sizzles right off the pages, its funny, dramatic, suspenseful, totally hot and keeps you on the edge of your seat reading, MUST READ. Thank you Sara Rayne you blew me away :)

OMG, if you are a Four Horseman lover, then then this is the book you have been waiting for. It's Coyote's story, and what a story it is.
Back with the Horsemen after being kidnapped and maimed, he no longer feels as though he belongs, when FBI hacker Fox comes on the scene he suddenly realises that not only is she the one he had been interacting with, keeping her from finding incriminating evidence to bring down the club but also the one who helped the club save him and helped Lex find Voo. Finding out that she wasn't on their payroll and was only doing it as part of a sentence, he vows to get her away, when he does, things get complicated.
Unputdownable, exciting and thrilling, and the added bonus of cameos from the Horsemen, I am really looking forward to reading Colt, Alex and Riley's stories.
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion.

Soooo Good! I could not put this book down. Finally we have Coyote's story and it did NOT disappoint. Great crossovers from Four Horsemen MC with Idle Hands group. Cannot say enough good things about this story. It has been a long wait to learn more about Coyote since he was kidnapped and tortured by a rival MC club. I enjoyed learning more about his background and connections with his heritage. Fox has kind of always been a bit of a mystery and learning more about her life in the foster care system and lack of love in her life gave great insight to the type of person she became and the tough exterior that hides a soft core that is well guarded. Coyote manages to break through the hard outer shell and they find love and acceptance in each other. Terrific story and just gets me more excited to read Colt's story.

I recieved an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
An excellent story that introduces new characters while bringing back favorites from the Four Horseman series. I always love it when familiar characters pop up in other, related, stories.
Sara does an amazing job of creating a world and characters you can get lost in. I enjoy reading her books as I know I'll enjoy the (HOT) ride and have new favorite characters to obsess over. As always Sara delivers on the heat and romance while not going overboard. The story line is outstanding and I can't wait until the next novel in this series.
If you aren't already a Sara Rayne fan you will be after this book. Enjoy!

I received Jailbreak: An Idle Hands Hackers Novel as an Advanced Readers Copy in return for leaving an honest review. If you loved the Four Horsemen books then you are SO gonna love this one! We finally get Coyote’s story (YAY! He’s one of my favorite characters!) I was hooked from page 1. The characters are great together – love that they are a family and take care of each other even though they don’t always see eye to eye. This was an exciting story – had me on the edge of my seat many times. I can’t wait for the next one!!
June 2, 2019
What a fantastic story! Jailbreak was so intriguing, exciting and spell bounding I couldn’t put it down. What you think will happen, won’t, or maybe it will! So many twists, turns and than the anticipation of what might happen next had me from the beginning. The characters will blow you away with their intelligence, loyalty to each other, their mind games and hacking skills. Such a wonderful journey Sara Rayne takes us on in this story. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next one.

Beautiful Geeky perfection! I recieved an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was exactly how I want Coyote's book to pan out. The underlying plot of the series is fast paced and well done. Fox and Coyote are smart and deep and keep you hot as well. I love how Sara Rayne can take these characters on a journey not only to each other but also to the best parts of themselves. I am so happy I was able to get this story and am excited for the rest of the series.

Good Fun
Oh it is just so good to be back in the saddle with a really good story and equally good getting to see some old friends.This was just pure magic from the start and it just gets better as you go along.This was so long overdue for Coyote and Skye just complements him.This is a fresh series and it has the same intensity and sexy moments as other Sara Rayne series.

Roller coaster storytelling
This was a roller coaster story full of twists and tales, of a hacker trying to turn things around, the man she meets that she has an undeniable attraction and then the tension between Colt and Alex. This story has ups and downs, twists, and turns and suspense.

This book is awesome! I loved it! I read it in one sitting! I could not put it down! I tried a few times but I couldn't get the book off my mind so I had to just go back and keep reading. If you are looking for a book to escape from this world then this is the story you need to read. You will laugh out loud you will cry you know have all kinds of emotions and you won't be able to put it down. So don't miss out!!!

Coyote’s Find
Loved the dynamic between Coyote and Fox, especially when they got together.
Happy that he found his true mate.
Fox’s friends are something else.

Wow just wow!
I loved this book along with this series. I can't wait to read the next in the series. This story was so action packed that I just wanted to keep reading. These characters are so dynamic and how they interact with each is truly like a family. Fox and Coyote are not only made for each other, they have amazing chemistry. Oh to see where this goes.... Wish I had the next book already. I received an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review. I also bought it so I could read it again and again.

, if you were a a Four Horseman lover, then then this is the book you have been waiting for.
We finally get Coyote's story. Wow what a story it was.
Coyotes is back with the Horsemen. He does not feel right anymore sine kidnapping.
Then the FBI hacker Fox comes on the scene he suddenly realises that not only is she the one he had been interacting with, keeping her from finding incriminating evidence to bring down the club but also the one who helped the club save him and helped Lex find Voo. Finding out that she wasn't on their payroll and was only doing it as part of a sentence, he vows to get her away from them. Oh exciting this story was and the fact that it was Coyotes story made it so much more special. This book was absolutely amazing us we get sneak peak og our other guys what more could we ask for.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was a highly anticipated book for me. The Four Horsemen are near and dear to my book heart (check). This story follows Coyote (from the Four Horsemen MC) and Fox. I don’t give out 5 stars easily but this book deserves more (check). The characters have chemistry, witty banter, and all the feels. I love Foxes sass, brilliant mind and her love and loyalty to her made family (check). Coyote, while a little battered and broken from the last book and trying to find his new place in the world, shows he can be a brilliant trickster hacker and a badass biker. Checkmate

I have been waiting to read coyotes book. Im so happy he finally got his happy ending! I hoped he ended up with fox even before we knew anything about her. It was a major tease in the other series and it definitely didnt disappoint. I can't wait to see what happens next especially with alex and colt!!

I liked the suspense of this book. I was given an ARC for an honest review. The one thing I disliked about this book was the abrupt changes in time, it confused me. On the other hand the suspense and characters from other series' I enjoy are a bonus for me. I enjoyed the character interaction and the storyline is fabulous. Prime re-read material.
June 4, 2019
I received an ARC of Jailbreak for an honest review. So I will start off by saying WOW. The four Horseman series has always been one of my favorites and I was so glad to get coyotes story. Coyote and Fox were perfect for each other. I loved how funny fox was she is one of my new favorite female in and a total badass. I can't wait for more from Sara Rayne.

Good
This book was good, but not really something that I was that interested in. The only reason I got the book was that I loved the Four Horseman series and I had been waiting for the book on Coyote. This book was written well, but so much about technology, etc and I have no interest in books on that. I probably won't read the rest of this series just die to that.
