Rate this book
If you had to spend a couple of weeks in hell to get what you always wanted, would you do it?
Luke “Jinx” Parrish has been fighting to get custody of his son for years. With the RBMC being targeted by a powerful and sadistic Cartel leader set on revenge, his little boy is put right in the line of fire. Jinx will do anything to save him, including contacting the one person he never thought he would talk to, let alone see again. He gets his son to safety but puts her right in the middle of it.

Joey Turner worked a double and just wanted to get some well-needed sleep when the past literally came knocking at her door. The man she once knew was no longer the same person. He’s changed, they both have, but the one thing that stayed the same is their out-of-this-world chemistry and their love for each other. But is chemistry, love, and friendship enough to save a child and survive a mad man? What happens after all the chaos?

Was it all too much or will they make it? Can they get over past hurts and present obstacles so one day, Jinx and Joey can be together? Join Jinx and Joey on another ride in the RBMC series to find out.

Content Warning: Explicit love scenes and naughty language. Intended for mature audiences. This book is part of a series. It can be read as a standalone although to get full enjoyment, it is suggested that you read in series order, starting with Whiskey: RBMC Book 1.

This story grabbed me from the first page. Jinx is finally getting his story and what a story it is. Joey is a strong woman and that is what Jinx is going to need. Together they will face a lot of challenges . Will the Cartel win? Will all the guys in the RBMC be able to survive. Well, if you wanna find out, you have to get the book. Be warned, once you start, you won't want to stop so make sure you have the time to read it!!!

Jinx

I couldn't put this book and was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The twists and turns kept coming and I didn't wanted it to end. Jinx finally got his happily ever after with Joey and these two are perfect for one another. I can't wait to read Crash's story!

Jinx is the eighth book in the RBMC series, and I highly recommend you read this series in order. Jinx has one goal: to protect his son from the evil clutches of his ex-wife. While trying to find his son, Jinx goes to the one person he knows could help, Joey, his ex-wife’s cousin and the woman he’s always loved. Joey tries to harden her heart when it comes to Jinx, but no matter what crazy situation he brings into her life, she can’t help but falling. But is Jinx’s world too dark and twisted for Joey and Hunter to handle and can Jinx keep the people he loves most safe from danger?

This book is intense and there’s a lot going on besides just a standard romance. There’s a bit of backstory between these characters, there’s puzzle pieces that are starting to make sense in the overarching story line, yet more questions that I’m begging to ask for the future books. I almost felt like there was more story building in this book than romance building between Jinx and Joey, but I think a lot of it is helped by the fact that they’ve known each other for years and both have always loved the other from afar. Jinx is bold, a bit in your face, not afraid or apologetic about who he is, but I loved that he feared falling deeper in love with Joey and what all that meant for each other. Joey was a bit shy at times, but could be a Momma Bear when she needed to protect Hunt from anything, which I totally loved about her! She was able to soften Jinx and he was able to bring Joey out of her shell and protect her from the awful bubble that was her home town. One of my favorite aspect about this book was both characters realizing that home isn’t the address you live at, but the people you surround yourself with and the one that you fall for! This book was steamy and sweet at times, a little darker and intense at others, but overall, a fantastic addition to an amazing series!

Jinx......been wanting his story since Cathy spilled the beans on his ummm……..jewelry store, lol
Who can resist a tall, long haired, tatted, pierced bad boy who loves his son????
I've loved all the guys of the RBMC, some I wanted to smack, some to lick but all grew on me, each is loyal, stubborn and loves their lady, once they find her that is.
Has Jinx found his Lady or is it just memories of the past making him feel this way?
Joey, a woman after my own heart, also loyal, stubborn and a bit hot headed to boot! Maybe she hasn't out grown her feelings for Luke "Jinx" Parrish......too bad for her he's matured, hotter, even more stubborn and pierced in all the right places, (hot flash moment btw).
Do these two have a chance to make something or will the evil baddie finally get his revenge on the RBMC and ruin many lives in the process???
I was on edge, couldn't put it down and read it through in one read...….I HAD to know what happened and now am already going...…...when do we get Crash's story??? LOL, I know, I am so bad.

Finally I got to read Jinx story!! Ms Hancock lures you in from the beginning. She keeps you in the edge of your seat. There is intrigue, suspense, mystery, hot sex scenes. A mafia cartel vs RBMC!!
Miguel Perez head of the mafia Cartel is sadistic and evil, he is out to get to Jinx and will do anything to bring him in.
Jinx has only one thing in his mind to protect Joey, his exes cousin.
Joey has always had an attraction to Jinx, but felt betrayed by Jinx. Now there is no trust.
Will the cartel succeed in capturing Jinx. Will Joey be strong enough to help Jinx? What will happen when Miguel realizes that Joey is Jinx weakness?
This is nail biting suspense. Come join Jinx and Joey’s journey. I highly recommend this book.

Jinx has been a character I waited for and was not disappointed in the least. I loved this book, lots of action, intrigue and emotion. Joey is a very strong and upfront woman. I really like that she says what she thinks and is straight forward. As with the rest of this series each book has its own feel to it and yet the consistent closeness with the rest of the crew remains. There is a second epilogue to this one that was very pleasant surprise. I highly recommend this entire series.

I usually skim the previous books to get back into the story, but I didn't with this one and can say it could be a stand alone about a dad doing everything he can to save his son with the help of someone from his past. Having said that, I would suggest reading the series as there is also a story line that continues. Joey was great! I love a strong female lead and she did great.

Great!

I really enjoyed Jinx..... The love he had for his son Hunter was so heartwarming. I liked Joey that she was a strong woman who wanted to do the right thing. I just love reading about the RBMC. I am anxiously awaiting Crash's story. I am not good at expressing myself so please just understand that I really liked this book!!!!

Jinx is if anything a lover. All he wants is his boy. That's why he is fighting for him.

Joey's known Jinx forever. Jinx has changed, he isnt the same. The love that they have for each other,has it withstood the stand of time?

Jinx and Joey were friends but liked each other as more. Nothing ever happened between them but he did get drunk and screw her cousin. I found Jinx to be an asshole towards Joey. Yes her family covered up court dates and visits but how would she know. I didn't like it.

Jinx

I was hoping someone would rescue Cin from her prison. Smh I wish death and destruction on the Perez cartel. I can't believe all of Joey's family except her sister, we're so rotten to the core. Geez talk about a messed up situation.

Jinx And Joey are hilarious and loveable of course. They're just two people that Sont want to admit when they're wrong about anything. This series? You have to read it, the best series by far.

Intriguing and addictive!

A storm is brewing and it's about to get pretty dark real fast...

Chelsea has truly outdone herself with Jinx's story. I was hooked from the very beginning til the end and couldn't get enough. I need more of the RBMC! With every member we get to meet, the more addictive this series gets. Definitely succeeded in releasing another unputdownable book!

Jinx took a turn into the darkness and I loved every moment of it. You just feel the emotions through each page. Jinx and Joey are amazing characters you just can't help love. They're chemistry and banter is scorching hot! Joey is definitely one badass heroine. She's smart and strong and takes no crap from no one, no matter how intimidating they might be. Her loyalty and big heart are truly admirable. Luke "Jinx" Parish is the definition of a protective alpha Male. The lengths he'd go for those is loves makes him that much hotter with a mentioned man jewelry store. Damn that man will have you wishing for a Jinx of your very own.

Book #8 of the Ruthless Bastards MC is everything I could have expected and so much more. Seeing this series grow, will definitely make you feel right at home with family while reading. Top recommended for a good MC read, but definitely shouldn't skip out any of the other must read books in this series. I cant wait to see what happens next with these boys!
