Jax

Desert Aces MC #2

by Stacy Kristen

I wasn’t always the Desert Aces MC President.

When I was 20 years old, tragedy struck when my parents were killed by a drunk driver. I was young and stupid and decided to prospect for the Desert Aces MC in Las Vegas.

At the time, I didn’t care about its lawlessness. I liked the drinking, the fighting, the fucking. It helped to numb the pain. But as time went on, I began to realize the club was on a dangerous path to destruction. And that if we didn’t clean up our act, our club wouldn’t survive.

I couldn’t let that happen.

I’ve given everything to my club and it’s time I take a little something for myself. I need to find a woman and settle down. My mind drifts to Diana, all those years ago. I regret letting her walk away.

But that all changes when one afternoon, she drives up to the compound gates, looking gorgeous as ever. Instantly, my feelings for her re-surface, igniting inside me. This time, I won’t let her walk away. I’m making her mine.

Bring on the MC action!!

Jax is adrift after losing his parents and finds himself a makeshift family with the Desert Aces MC. Two things quickly become obvious to him: one, the current Prez isn't all there, and two, his teenaged daughter, Di, needs to stay off limits.

Fast forward a few years and Jax is now Prez and Di, who'd fled directly after her father's death, needs a place to go.

Sparks ignite, but Di brings trouble with her and Jax is keeping a big secret. Can they make it work?

If you're looking for . . .

==> an MC family
==> a quick novella-length read
==> a sweet heroine
==> an Alpha hero
==> some great action and suspense
==> LOTS of sexy time 🔥🔥

. . . this one's for you!

3.75 stars!

I like this MC world that Stacy has created. It’s gritty with suspense but the men aren’t total assholes.

This is somewhat of a second chance romance between Jax and Di, it’s been years but they never forgot each other. She needs his help and he’s more than willing to help her and to try and get her to stay.

I love a good MC romance, but Jax misses the mark. It seemed like the author had an outline of what a book in this genre should contain and made sure it had all the bullet points. The book starts with Jax as a prospect of a one percenter MC and Di as the 16 year old daughter of the President. Two years later, Jax gets his patch and is immediately made Sergeant at Arms. As Jax tries to clean up the club by bypassing the other members and the president, things come to a head and Jax takes over. When the Desert Aces are threatened by a rival club, that is supposed to be smaller and weaker, the club goes into lockdown. Because, of course, every MC book has to have one. If you are a sometime reader of these books, Jax is a decent story. But if you want your MC to be more realistic, you might want to give it a pass.

At 20 Jax lost his parents and became a prospect for the Desert Aces MC, a lawless bunch but soon Jax realised that couldnt continue, and took matters into his own hands, only that pushed away the one woman who made him feel, Diane. After her fathers death Diane's mum packs up and moves to another MC with her, only to get un debt with them. When Diane returns years later to the DAMC shes brings that trouble with her. Can Jax keep her safe? This is a well written action packed MC romance. With an engaging story line and in depth characters

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This short story is a second chance at love for Jax and Diana. They knew each other but then she had to leave. Just when he wishes for a different ending for them, she comes back. Her mother caused more issues than just moving her away from the MC. These two have a chance at a happy future together once the danger has passed

Is it me or did Jax & Diana’s story ended way too soon? 🤣 I wanted more of them!

I cringed at some scenes, cause as a mother my first thought was ‘What the hell is Diana doing at this place at her age?’ But then again her father was a freaking piece of work! 😠

I enjoyed seeing a bit of Jamie ‘Bass’ again.
And I’m wondering if we’re gonna get a story for Mac and Jess?

Jax was young and stupid and decided to be a prospect for the Desert Aces MC in Las Vegas. They got in a fight and the president was killed. He became the president and cleaned the club up. Diana and her mother moved away. Jax was interested with Diana which was the President daughter. She came back after she became of age. They got together because they both had feelings

Oh my! This book definitely kept me on my toes!

If you’re looking a for a quick read, look no further! Jax is a well planned series of events. The protection and care he shows to Di will make you drool over him.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and follow this family along for a wild ride.

An amazing plot! The characters are unique, a legit MC, evil MC Presidents, a honest MC president, a strong, beautiful young woman who needs rescuing! Murder and mayhem, drugs, human trafficking, psycho men, amazing women and honest, honorable men! One true love that will protect and cherish each other!

Great book

Loved the characters, loved the story line. Lots of sexy scenes, nailbiter moments, and a HEA at the end. I was hooked on this book from the word go. Definitely a must read.

[Vic · Rating 2 out of 5]

A bit light on substance, it has all the makings of a good MC story but feels too light touch. It jumped around a bit too much, lots of raunchy sex but not a lot else in terms of story development. I mean, it was fine. But I want more than fine.

[Naomi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jax and Di are perfect for each other. So sweet and adorable.
The Desert Aces MC books are fast reads. Maybe a little too fast for me but still enjoyable.

❤ After reading Jamie and Stutters books, I'm glad I finally got to read Jaxs.

[Brandi Price · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really great story. Good character development throughout. Lots of steam and sweetness as well.

Awesome

[Michelle The Outgoing Bookworm · Rating 4 out of 5]

The premise of the book is good but I think the book would have been better if it was longer. The story seemed stunted and I believe it’s because of it being more of a novella.

With that out of the way, I loved the insta attraction between Jax and Diana. They burned up the pages once they got together. And I love how the big, tough biker is brought or his knees by a good woman and gets all crazy when her life is in danger.

* I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.
