She was young. Sweet. Feisty. But then there was him. We had been best friends for years. We lived together. Rode together. Shared women. Together. And it still wasn’t enough. Not for him and especially not for me.
-Sunny-
He was mine. I was his. She was ours. Meadow Rodriguez strutted into our lives and looked at us like we were all that mattered. While I wanted to dominate her, he wanted to submit, and she wanted both. I took control, giving her everything she needed and at the same time, grew closer with Shade. My best friend. My partner. My life. Although we were close, there was still a wedge between us. I was terrified to give him what he needed. My heart.
-Meadow-
Sunny was intense. Shade hid. I was new. They were in love but wouldn’t admit it. Guilt resonated on Sunny’s shoulders. The weight of Shade’s feelings rested on his. And I was the glue that would bring them together. But little did I know, that I would end up falling in love. With both of them.
J.M. Walker, a Canadian author, is an Amazon bestseller who also hit USA Today with Wanted: An Outlaw Anthology. She loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.

Giving this 5 stars cause it was amazing. But lord this author tried to kill my soul..oh wait yes she did. Iam a hot mess. The best sex scenes I have EVER read. Loved all the characters. Did have some oh s*** moments (be prepared). And the ending......yeah well jm walker is evil. The end
I receive this book from the author for an honest review.
Oh hells bells. Meadow girl……I wanna be ya so bad!! She is some kinda awesome girl who meets her match with our two grumpy old men, Shade and Sunny.
Meadow has always been the loner and has always been into baking vs dealing with her feelings. When she has to let go of a friend’s with benefits situation she stumbles into the two bikers when she was having a night out with her friends. Piper and Jaron steal away, Gigi is wasted drunk, and Meadow finds herself in the lap of Sunny and Shade.
The guys are instantly drawn to her sass and spirit. They can’t believe someone so young would want to deal with these two old men who are best friends, for sure, but also secretly in love with the other. Sunny cant wrap it around his head his feelings for Shade. Shade has known since day 1 that Sunny is the guy for him. The two are very willing to share a woman but deal with their feelings no so much.
When Meadow joins the duo, everything just clicks. She is what the men need to open fully and commit to the trio and to each other.
As usual, JM throws some amazing twists and a big fat suck punch to your gut. But I think these 3 will make a top reading list for everyone. The sex was hot but the opening up and the intimacy was amazing to read.
Meadow's just looking for some fun when she meets two hot older bikers. She really has no comprehension how they will come to change her life in incredible ways, how she will change THEIR lives.
Sunny and Shade have been best friends for years. But there's always been a thread of something more than friendship between them. When a gorgeous spitfire walks into the bar and into their lives, she'll be the spark that finally lights their feelings on fire. And honestly, it was f'in hot between these three. And intense, and beautiful, and finally, heartbreaking. I loved watching the course of their relationship. The one between Shade and Sunny. The one between Meadow and each man individually. And the one between the three of them equally. At no time did I feel the balance was off between the three of them, even though it could have been considering how long Sunny and Shade had been friends, and how much older than Meadow they are. J.M. says this is her first menage, but it's really hard to believe considering how she absolutely nailed the dynamic. I've said it a hundred times, but for a ménage to be successful in my eyes, the physical and the emotional have to be balanced equally, and all three members have to be equal partners. Well, J.M. toed this line perfectly because this ménage is hot and deeply and strongly emotional. Whew!
And then. And then...that ending, that ending that about killed me. I won't spoil, I'll just say that the epilogue is bittersweet. What comes right before the epilogue will gut you as it did me. I'm still crying when I think about it. But above all, I loved this heartbreaking, beautiful, sexy af ménage. And I'm dying for the next one now (Before Us)!
THIS, THIS is why I am in love with JM!! This book has everything you want (and don't want) in a fantabulous read! If you have ever read one of JM's books, you just know it will be a rollercoaster of emotions and you know never to get comfortable in her stories. Sunny and Shade and Meadow make for a great trio. And since we pretty much know everyone already, it is nice to swing by and see everyone in the 'hood.
I will start off by saying this book was hot. I loved the connection that Sunny and Shade had and then the one they shared with Meadow. There were some twists and I will say I wasn’t too happy about. I’m not sure why they had to happen that way, but the author did write a beautiful story. I was thinking for most of the story that it was going to be an easy read, and then bam, left field we get the angst.
One thing I was annoyed with the constant reminder that the guys were “Old” and maybe compared to Meadow they were older but they were not old. That just really annoyed me. I didn’t need a reminder once a chapter considering we never know how old they are, just a random figure of 40s. That’s not old. Overall it was enjoyable. I would be willing to read more by this author. There are a few side characters that I would like to see get a happy ending and I look forward to finding those books. 4 stars #2OCCJD
Boy what a heartbreaker. This is Meadow's story. She's been bored lately not knowing what she wants. When she goes out with her sister and Piper to this bar, she meets Shade when she's checking out his harley. But he's not alone. He and Sunny have been prospects together for 15 years. They are in their 40's and she is 22. But they make it work. There is danger, heartache and new life. You'll need tissues for this one. Don't know if you would call it a HEA, but it's their new norm.
This was a book I was scared of trying as menage is not normally my thing, but I'm so glad I did! Yet again the author has produced a book that will break many readers.
With characters and plot to die for, you'll be transfixed from cover to cover, no matter your tastes.
Definitely didn't end the way I expected and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
Meadow was always looking for something more she’d always wanted more in life especially in the bed room. Her current fling was just to help her friend out so he would leave her relationship alone, and they just both happened to be bored. Once they finally called off their thing her and the girls decided they needed a night out, so they went to this hole in the wall bar and there she seen all the bikes lined up against the building and this one caught her eye she waited until her friends had all gone in before she went over to admire the beautiful machine of horse power and speed. When a man scared her half to death she noticed his gorgeous eyes and that he was half her age but she didn’t care at all. One thing lead to another and Meadow was sitting on his friends lap and they were flirting like crazy all three of them. Magic happened the fates were alined and this trio knew that they were meant to be together they felt it in their heart, body and soul, their sex was rough, hot and sexy as ever. You definitely need to read this book it will have you pulled in and begging or panting for more these three are super hot and work so well together on their roller coaster of a relationship.
Why did why have to fall in love with these three alphas only to lose the glue? Unlike the precious story this one deals with the biker club, Hell’s Harlem M. C. Shade and Sunny (both in their 40s) are patched in members and been together since they first became prospects. Their relationship was more best friends but Sunny never been with a man had feelings but never acted on them, Shade is bi and has been with an abusive ex that the man forced Shade to do things. Shade is broken from that past, Sunny is broken from his past with en ex wife. Both men need one another to live and to love. Now we have a 22 year old Meadow, also broken from the past involving an adult man while she was a nieve kid. As an adult she is a person who just needs more in life and her friend and bed buddy Ashton isn’t working for her, she just needs more, and that’s what she’ll get when she crosses a path that will lead her two mature and dominant men who will break under her control. Lots of M/F/M sex, for for the M/M is 1 & 2nd base, if you can have that this is a great book for you but be warned towards the last few chapters, get you Kleenex ready, you’ll need it...
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This book was amazing! I was so into it, and was so happy, and then BAM! She did it again! Ripped my heart to shreds with her words! This book made me laugh, gasp in surprise, and of course ugly cry... As always, amazing job, JM!
I received a copy of this book from the author. This is my honest review.
Honestly, I'm not even sure how to write this review. It took me 2 days after finishing this beautiful story to even collect my thoughts enough to try and write them down.
Meadow has always felt like things were lacking as far as her sex life was concerned. Plain old vanilla just wasn't enough to satisfy her needs. One night while out with friends she meets not one but two bikers, Sunny and Shade, who are twice her age. The mutual attraction between the 3 of them is instantaneous.
This book was so freaking H-O-T!!! I mean, like you are going to need a cold shower to cool down kinda hot. There were plenty of hot moments, but lots of oh-so-sweet moments, too. The way these two men took care of Meadow was heartwarming. The three of them were perfect for each other.
With Us is one of those rare books that consumed me. It touched my soul. I will never EVER forget Sunny, Shade, and Meadow. Their story will stay with me. I may even be able to read it again. Someday. I'm throwing out the normal rating system and giving it 5×3 stars!
An intense read with characters and a storyline that you will immerse yourself in and forget all that’s going on around you. This story has some of the hottest scenes and also some wtf moments that will make you scream a few choice words. Thankfully my kindle didn’t break when I threw it across the room. Be warned that while she writes these amazing stories she also will rip your heart out so better stock up on lots of alcohol.
I wish I`d never read this book. I wish I`d read some reviews with spoilers BEFORE I began (nope, I`m not really into that... but in this case, I REALLY wish I`d had done it)
This book.. it was MESMERISING until about. I dont know... 30 pages before the end. Then a goddamn atomic bomb was drooped on us readers.
Seriously, it should have been a warning somewhere and by that I mean actuallly EVERYWHERE before one reads this book. Because... maybe some people like or accomodate this crazy ending, but I`m definetely not one of those people and this book was not in the tragedy section.. so what the hell?? Now I`m literally afraid to begin to read the other books in this series or any other book from J.M. Walker, since I`ve started with this second one and skipped the first one, I have no idea how the others end...
Damn.. those last 30 pages ruined my whole day, this week and I guess this whole month.
Because there is a reason I don`t read or watch dramas or tragedies or whatever like this f***cked up ending. There`s is enough sh**it in this world and sadness, I don`t want my relaxing hours to be ruined by it. So I just stay away from them. I know, I know, life happens. Whatever. My life, my rules, my choosings and my books to read. And never, EVER in my life would have expected that this kinda book (and by that I don`t mean anything disrespectful!) would have an ending like this.
Somebody should have warned me about this. You know, like a really loud wisper or more like a yelling (SPOILER!): Titanic!! or something like that.
Never in my life was more dissapointed in an book ending than this one. I was torn to give 0 star es 10 stars for this book.. yeah, but the choice being limited between 1 and 5, I settled for 3. But in my heart, it`s about one million plus for the first 200 pages and about a billion minus for the last 30 ones.
This is Meadow’s story, she has been messing around with a close friend for a while and they both agree to call it quits so now she is bored. She has a little bit of an idea of what she wants in a guy she just can’t find one guy who has all those qualities. When she goes out with her sister & Piper she meets a guy while admiring his Harley. After she goes inside it turns out that the man she met outside and his friend are also close to an old family friend of hers so they have a few drinks and Meadow ends up flirting with Sunny & Shade (whom she met outside). After all the girls leave Meadow decides to go back to the bare to try and see Sunny & Shade again and has an amazing night with them. She starts to realize that between both of them she finds all the qualities she has been looking for. After a few misunderstandings and a few heart to heart talks between all 3 of them & between just Sunny & Shade they decide to try and make it work. Unfortunately for the trio there are people outside their circle that have other plans and tragedy strikes. There were a few spots in this story that completely broke my heart and while we got a conclusion on some of it we are still waiting to see how the rest will work out. I am completely in love with this next generation series and cannot wait to see what happens next.
One fantastic read I wish I could give it more stars. Well I don’t even know where to begin with this book. It’s exciting!!!! it’s about a lady who wants more out of life she’s a drifter really she’s just been bobbing around until she meets two bikers at a bar. And then everything changes for her
Meadow was out on a girls night out when she met shade and sunny and they were exciting, enticing from the first moment they met
Sunny and shade have been friends for many many years and they knew they had feelings for each other for many many years but they never really acted on them. They didn’t know if they could be more , they knew that they loved one another but it was just uncertain if it would ever move on from anything other than two friends that loved each other. But that change the moment they met Meadow. And that is all I’m saying!!!! because you really need to read this yourself!!! An outstanding read with a twist at the end that left me in tears. This book really made me emotional it is the first book that I’ve read from JM Walker and it will not be my last I cannot wait to read another book by this author.

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
I read this and could not find it in me to write the review right away because I was a hot mess afterwards. JM knows how to write a story that gets your heart pumping then tears it right from your chest.
Meadow finds herself in the arms of two older men, Shade and Sunny, in a biker bar. These three have a connection that is off the charts. Shade and Sunny are best friends but when Meadow walks in everything clicks. They all have issues they need to work through but each are patient with one another.
This was like getting to the last piece of the puzzle and maneuvering it until it clicks into place and everything fits perfect. Then realize you cannot leave it on the table forever. Now I wait for the next book to see more or all these people and maybe a glimpse at what happens next for Meadow.
A few of my favorite quotes:
Even if this was just for fun, I refused to let them go because I knew that no matter what, no other man could ever make me feel this way.
I only wished we would have met Meadow long ago so she could give me the strengths form the very beginning to take this to the next step.
DAMN! That was one emotional roller-coaster ride right from the first chapter, straight to that gut-wrenching ending! This story is intense, heartfelt and so very steamy.
Meadow, Shade, and Sunny are amazing together. They had an instant connection and the sexual chemistry between the three of them was oozing off the pages. Meadow is feisty, sassy and a little spitfire. Shade and Sunny are both alpha males that love to dominate! Shade and Sunny also have a very intense relationship with so much history. Meadow helps them break through their walls in order to allow them to bring their relationship to the next level. These three have such a fantastic connection that their relationship structure works. When they come together they are explosive and set my kindle on fire!
This story is so freaking HOT - I mean REALLY HOT!!! But it is also very sweet and highly entertaining to read. This amazing author gutted me with that ending but I loved everything about this story and I can't wait for more.
I am so mad at this book. There is no happy ending. The men start engaging in MM but never seal the deal. The biker clubs are straight off of a bad TBS show that acts like all bikers are murderous criminals. The dialogue is repetitive. "I'm scared", "I need to go slow" and "don't hurt me" were said by the 3 main characters so often I wonder if that's how the author was paid. Everyone is a domestic abuse survivor- the main female character, one of the men, the MFC's mother, a roommate, the villain probably- I started skipping his scenes because he was ridiculous even though he likes animals- a fact mentioned eight times. The sex scenes are good, a lot of fade to black but there is DVP. Usually that's a win for me, but with this ending I'm just going to delete this book and call the $4 I lost a lesson to stay clear of this author from now on. Boo. Boo this ending. Boo.
For What Reason???? FROZEN!!! That's what I am right now. I'm so numb right now I just can't, its too much, tears will not stop. Bombshell of a read that you can't get enough of.
The parents are my favourite character's of this author as they were my first read and they are always be in my heart. The kids though just stole my heart. Absolutely love them. I was so happy to get to read about some of my favourites again. I love Angel and Jay and their kids.
Meadow, Sunny and Shade are fabulous. Their lovestory is unforgettable, pure euphoria, sensual, and fated.
The writing is eloquent, flawless and addictive. The twists seeping through the pages are artful. All the magical elements to create a noteworthy read.
Extremely talented author who everyone should read.
I want more of all these characters. Looking forward to reading whats next.
What an incredible read! I loved this story so much. Meadow,Sunny and Shade were perfection together. Each brought the missing piece to the relationship to form the perfect trifecta. Their story is overflowing with just about everything. Lust,passion and love. Learning to trust and being vulnerable. A whole lot of sexy and hotness galore. Their chemistry is off the charts! The sizzle between Sunny and Shade is tension filled. While missing done of the sexiness. Add in the feisty sassy Meadow and the explosive dynamics our at of this world! But their story also has drama,suspense and twists and turns that torn me apart. Ms. Walkers way of writing is outstanding. She had me on edge and my heart beating wildly. As well has having me fanning myself and thinking omg how freaking hot is that! I am absolutely loving the Next Generation stories!
Oh My Gosh! This is My #1 Favorite book this year! Meadow is young, she's sleeping with Ashton. to take one for the team so to speak. But their is no feelings there. Sex and weed is all they have in common. So they part ways. Meadow goes out with her sister and her room mate on the way in she see's a bike, and meets a man smoking....From there the roller coaster ride starts! Shade and Sunny have been best friends for 15 years, the love each other, but the line has never been crossed! But they like to share, and Meadow is so unlike anyone they've ever met! This story includes some of the 2nd gen kids, their parents and the MC, very family feeling. BUT don't let that fool you! It's full of feeling {Have a hankie handy}! I could never write a review that says how much, you need THIS story in your life~
Oh, the heat is HOT, and the physical chemistry is captivating so be careful you may just get burned all the heat coming off these pages. There were some "oh no" "oh wow" " what the what" moments and add in shenanigans, two sexy bikers yep I said two not one and they are older and a young girl wanting everything they are offering. Meadow is in a friend with benefits type relationship basically just there. Once Ashton decide he wants more and walks away from their friendship her girls decide to go out and this is where it gets really interesting to say it is instant and the chemistry between Meadow, Sunny and Shade takes off quickly. Sunny and Shade needed the push she gave them and she needed the change they provided her ultimately she was/is the glue that holds the three of them together will it be enough for them to have a HEA?
Shade & Sunny found their dream woman when they met Meadow. Meadow can’t deny the instant attraction and the passion between them heats up quickly as they lose themselves in their burning lust. Sunny & Shade have been close since Shade joined the Hell’s Harlem MC and being with Meadow make Sunny give into his hidden desires. But they all have past issues they have to work through as their relationship grows & Meadow is the key to unlocking their future. Sunny with Shade are on high alert when Meadow attracts the attention of the prez of a rival MC & Meadow just can’t help herself by shooting her mouth off. But past demons aren’t ready to let go and when the bullets fly, they will need the full support of their MC club when they lose one of their own.

Right now after reading With Us, I’m not sure I if like Ms. Walker or love her. Seriously! Are you frecking kidding me with that ending! Nope didn’t see that one coming. I am one hot mess! This story was packed with all the feels and then some!
I could not put this book down. The twists and turns kept me flipping the pages until late into the night. The dynamics between Sunny, Shade and Meadow- loved it. This trio was exactly what they all needed, and least expected. The angst! The love! The heat, especially between the sheets!
I do have a few lingering questions in regards to Roxanne, Tanner, and Jaron but hopefully those questions will get answered in the next book or two.
I have to admit mfm is not my cup of tea . I like intense relationships between two people normally . That being said this is the best one I’ve ever read . The writing style was excellent and drew me in . Shade , Sunny , and Meadow had great chemistry . This book made me cry so much . A book that makes you feel is always a winner . If you like mfm relationships then this is a guaranteed win for you . Even not liking that type of story I was good to me . I am a huge fan of this author and read it to get all of the information on the series . I would recommend the first gen stories as well as they give a ton of background information.
This was my first book by JM Walker and I am hooked. This was an amazing and intense book. I had a really hard time putting this book down; complete page turner for me. Meadow, Sunny, and Shade's story was phenomenal yet heartbreaking and gut-punching. This book had my emotions all over the place all while the steam was up to 20! There were some twists and turns that just broke my heart and yet seemed to make the book flow really well. I can't wait to read some more from Ms. Walker. I would highly recommend this book!

This story steals your heart, then your soul. I couldn't put it down once I started reading. This author has a knack for pulling you in, and leaving you breathless. I laughed, cried and am still trying to recover and move on. This story makes you love the author one minute, and hate her the next and right back to loving her. So many emotions, so much danger and protection of family are part of the story, you will fall in love with Sunny, Shade and Meadow. And you will love their relationship. You can tell that this author has a lot of passion for this story. My first by author but will not be my last
I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This book made an impact on me. You don't come across a story so well done in all aspects. It will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Meadow, Sunny and Shade have a one of a kind connection. You could feel it coming off the pages, and I'm not just talking about the steamy parts. Their story lifted me up then broke me down and left me bawling like a baby. Even so, I was so happy to be a part of their lives. I wish I could find more love stories like theirs. You will not regret reading this book

With Us contained everything I love in a J.M Walker book. Sunny, Shade, and Meadow had a beautiful love story. She completed their lives, and was just the woman they needed to finally open up to each other.
This book has drama, laughter, family, love, and so many more emotions.
This trio's relationship is smoking hot. The sex scenes are hot AF. There are M/F/M, and some M/M scenes.
This book will make you ugly cry. I highly recommend to have tissues and alcohol on hand. I'm still speechless. I think there needs to be a novella.
I cannot wait for Piper and Gigi's books.

I was so enamored with these characters! I fell in love with them and I will not soon forget how they made me cry and smile all the while dragging my heart through their life love and beings! J.M. does what so many authors try to do she engages with the reader and does not leave them until the very last word is read. Such emotion is delivered from her stories and they are not stories you forget! I could not put it down once it was started and I have to admit I did not want to . This author will be one that I will follow and go back to over and over again!
