Joy Ride

Another great Hot Rides story! We met best friends, Walker and Dane in book 3, Hard Ride, but Joy Ride stands alone pretty well. You'll miss a lot of hot stories though, if you don't read the first 3 books. I think I've seen someone else call Jayne Rylon the "queen of ménage" romance and I can't disagree with that. I enjoy all types of ménage stories but MMF ones are among my favorites and she writes great ones. The blurb tells you all you need to know about the story. The emotions run high in all three of the MCs (main characters). Walker and Dane are much more than just best friends. When the woman they both love, Joy, shows up carrying a baby they are speechless. Joy doesn't understand why Walker and Dane walked out and left her after the explosive night the three of them had together. She had to get away from her evil stepfather and when she had the chance to slip away, she came looking for them. This book is packed with lots of emotion. Walker and Dane both feel they've let Joy down in the past and aren't good enough for her. They enjoy the relationship they have with each other but know that Joy is the missing link between them. Joy Ride is really hot, just like the others in this series and it's a complete story with Walker, Dane and Joy getting their HEA. The last couple of chapters help set up the next book in the series, Rough Ride, and I can't wait to read it. An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

This is a very intense, emotional filled read that will literally make your heart ache for this trio. To say that Walker, Joy and Dane have a complicated history is as big of a understatement as saying that the ocean is wet. These are complicated characters, they have flaws and have made a few poor decisions and mistakes along the way. There is lots of angst, drama, raw emotions and sizzling heat to be had as the engaging storyline unfolds.

Secret baby alert!!! This is not a drill, this is a secret baby alarm!!! One of my most favourite tropes in the whole world, with a ménage, slay me now *faints* Joy, Dane, and Walker aren’t really big on expressing themselves clearly. Dane is who I liked the most, and even as the most submissive of the trio, he at least had his head on straight and was emotionally aware. Walker is an idiot, a bonafide, back and forth, can’t make up my mind, boo hoo, idiot. His redeeming quality is you get it, why he is the way he is, but you still want to slap, which, Dane actually does at one point, Go Dane! Joy is doing the best she can, given her history with them both, and her present. She is really trying, but the uncertainty from Walker, affects both her and Dane, and can’t allow them to move forward I love this world, I liked these characters, and this story had a lot of emotion and sparks in it, along with some smoking shower, bath, and bedroom scenes
