Slow Ride

This is the second book in the series. This one for me is filled with a lot emotion. The beginning my heart just broke for the characters. I could feel their pain. There were many subtlety sweet moments that were a big impact for the characters. Example is the autographed backstage pass. It means so much for the characters to feel connected once again. It was beautiful watching Jordan, Wren, and Kason together. Wren finding the a peace that fills the hole she's had inside her. Kason and Jordan exploring the new path in life they never thought they could experience. It's not going to be easy especially with Kason being in the public spotlight, but with the support of the Hot Rides and Hot Rods gang they may be able to find their balance at a HEA. There is a ton of heat and chemistry between the three, but you can feel the connection between them which makes it beautiful. If you're a fan of menage Jayne Rylon is the author for you! I loved the set up for the next book.

***4 Stars*** After seeing the tension between Wren and Jordan in Wild Ride, I was totally looking forward to seeing how the rift between them would be mended and who would become the third in the poly-romance and I wasn’t disappointed. The emotional gut punches were balanced out with humor, a lot of heart and a bit of meddling/help from those who’d been there done that and wanted to see them get their HEA. I really liked Wren, Jordan and Kason. All of them are really good people who are struggling to let go of their pasts, find forgiveness and redemption while figuring out how to be happy in their present and futures. Their journey, from start to finish, was a rocky with each of them at different stages of acceptance of their wants and needs, but with a little (ok A LOT) of help from their friends, they each have those ‘lightbulb’ moments and prove that they are perfect for each other. This is another great addition to the series, and world. The writing was engaging and I enjoyed the multiple third person POV’s. As I said, there was a lot help in getting Wren, Jordan and Kason together, but as the saying goes ‘It takes a village.’ and I loved how the Powertools, Hot Rods and Hot Rides crew all stepped in to help. And then there was the set up for the next book, it’s definitely going to be explosive and I cannot wait to see how it all plays out. ~ Copy provided by the author & voluntarily reviewed ~

Another hot, emotional story from Jayne Rylon. Slow Ride is book two in the Hot Rides series. While you probably can read it OK as a standalone, I highly recommend reading book one, Wild Ride, first. It contains background information that will enhance your enjoyment of Slow Ride. Having said that you should also know that Jayne gives you enough of the background in Slow Ride that you won't be lost if you don't read Wild Ride first. The blurb for the book is accurate and we know from it that Jordan and Wren suffered a terrible loss that tore them apart. Slow Ride is about them finding their way back to each other again and finding another partner to complete them. Popular country singer, Kason Cox, has been hiding something for years but when he meets Jordan, he can no longer suppress that part of himself that is attracted to men as well as women. When these two get together the sparks fly and it's hot as fire. When Jordan realizes that Kason and Wren are attracted to each other he feels like he can finally embrace the part of himself that he denied when he and Wren were together with Johnny. Wren, Kason and Jordan have the potential for something really special if Kason can just be true to himself and quit worrying about what everyone else thinks. Slow Ride got all of my emotions involved. I was so sad for what happened to Johnny and the resulting effect it had on Jordan and Wren. I was happy when Kason finally gave in to what he wanted with Jordan and Wren. It was so good to also touch base with the gang from Hot Rods and Powertools as they helped Devra's (from Wild Ride) dream of opening her own restaurant come true. Slow Ride is a complete story with an ending for Kason, Jordan and Wren but the last chapter sets up the next book, Hard Ride, which will feature Kyra, Ollie, and Van. This is a really great series and I can't wait to read Hard Ride. An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
