Ok...


because...


...there is not much more other than that in this book.

Pros:
-hot biker dudes
-HOT biker dudes who are also very sweet
-really hot sex scenes
-the cover

Cons:
-there isn't a strong plot that gives a sense to the book
-during the story the main characters lose consistency
-really HOT and heavy sex scenes that can be too much for someone

Laurie is having a bit of a predicament seeing that her boyfriend is out of control and is trying to take charge of every aspect of her life... in and out of bed. Especially in bed where he has started to show interests that are more those of a psychopath than that of a lover. A situation that is starting to scare her badly and from which she wants to get away quickly.
The solution comes in the form of a nomad MC Club to whom Laurie's brother has asked help.
When one of the Club assist to Laurie getting beaten by her boyfriend, he didn't find other way to save the day than to kidnap her and bring her to where the club is currently staying, a country house nested in the woods.
However, is Laurie happy to be safe (and almost sound)? Oh no! She wants only to escape the people who helped her and are trying to protect her.

Ok, I can understand that in the beginning it could have seemed to her to have gone from a bad situation to another even worse. Even so, after the first night when no-one tried to hurt her in any way she should have changed her mind. Especially because, finally, she has someone who can help her getting rid of the asshole who is making her life a living hell. Another bonus is that she finds the leader of the group, Steele, very attractive... so why leave!? Try, at least, to gain something good from the mess you're in.

The rest of the book is nearly only scenes of "group sex" or "couple sex" (more of the former). Dressed with a burst of jealousy (from Steele) that has not really sense seing that "what is mine is yours" in the code of the Club, much confusion (from both of them), another kidnapping and almost rape (from the ass****) and...other sex (from all of them).

Then, near the end, the author start to speak of Steele as dominant...but she doesn't make him do things that can make you see him as one (≪Woman, do as I say!≫ is not one of those things). He is "only" a big, gorgeous, sexy man who is very free in his interest for sex and has a strong will. There is nothing about a relationship dom-sub between the two and speaking of it is too much and too late.

In conclusion, if you are in search of something that doesn't have a strong plot but has many heavy sex scenes and whose only purpose is to make you pass a couple of hours of fun, this is the book for you. Otherwise it's better if you go find something else.

Riding Steele #3: Collide

The Characters

Laurie Conners
Steele

The Story

Okay so I was annoyed in installments 1 & 2 and that hasn’t changed in installment #3. Laurie still doesn’t know what the hell she wants and quite frankly her inner dialogue about it is annoying. Steele still seems to be a nice guy but he’s hard to read and not offering up any details other than he’s horney. Laurie did finally talk to her brother but it was only to bitch at him and it doesn’t solve her problems. All and all, I must admit I just don’t like this serial. I give up on 4 & 5 before I even get there.

The Random Thoughts

2 Stars ( )

Laurie finally escapes and is picked up by a cop, but sadly he delivers her back to the cabin. The cop tell her more about her abusive 'boyfriend' and his violent history with women and tells her that she is much safer here with Steele for now.

Laurie finally starts to trust Steele, and all her inhibitions fall away, and when they get together it's Hot! And they finally talk, Laurie has to tell Steele the relationship she had had with the 'boyfriend' to improve her relationship with him.

This serial is just getting better and better, I can't wait for the next instalment. ( )
