Ice
As president of the Predators� MC, my men and I are used to preying on the weak and those stupid enough to cross our paths. So why does a straitlaced teacher make me sit up and take notice when I see her for the first time? The brothers all think she makes me weak, and believe me, weak in their eyes isn’t where I want to be. She wants me to prove she means more to me than the club, and when I fail, she thinks she can just walk away. She’s wrong. I’m a Predator, and nothing escapes me.

Grace
As a teacher, I’m supposed to want to educate those who want to learn, right? That’s what I believed until I was told I’d have to teach a class at the prison. I didn’t move to a town labeled as one of the safest places in America only to be faced with a bunch of Predators. He expects me to trust him despite being the reason I’m trapped in the middle of a prison riot. His club means more to him than I ever will, and if I give him a chance, he will break the fragile peace I have managed to find. It’s not the first time I’ve had to escape a predator.

The beginning was pretty good but unfortunately the whole thing turned into something pretty blah and I lost interest fast.

In a nutshell
Grace's boss orders her to teach classes at a maximum-security prison. Because Grace has been abducted when she was a teenager, she's still having unresolved issues. She's practically a hermit, hardly dates and her circle of friends is almost nonexistent and her family is trying to baby and shield her.

I'd love to know how old the heroine is, because the author mentioned her doing things when she was young and wild. I know the hero is 35. Do I have to assume that I had to deal with an ? I kid you not but I almost hit my head on the table when I knew she Given the fact how bold and crude It really did rub me the wrong way. I mean the hero is an allegedly badass biker dude and then he needs to be patient in order to not scare her off? It was totally weird. Another thing I found odd was how easy

Ice called Grace baby pretty much right off the bat. He kissed her, pushed his fingers in her pussy and got her off in prison, only to remind himself that he should take it slow with her And don't get me started on the lack of sexual chemistry or the lame sex which was absolutely forgettable.

Boy, and then the constant back and forth. She didn't want anything from him. Don't touch me, don't kiss me. Blah blah blah. I don't want him. Oh, yes, I want him. She didn't want to stay in touch with him, yet she was offended when WTF? Make up your mind already, will you? Also, she has two dogs and after Ice one of those dogs was a pretense to not see him again because…I quote:

Then she had used her little shit as a reason for him not to come over, explaining the traumatic effect their relationship was having on her dog. Ice wanted to traumatize the dog but behaved himself, explaining that she might be giving him too many treats because she was constantly handing him one every time Ice shut it out of her bedroom. It was getting so fat it couldn't jump on her couch anymore. The vet had even reprimanded her and put the dog on a diet.

*facepalm* See? The heroine was a total PITA.

Her dog ran off and while she was chasing him, she almost got hit by a car. Seriously. I can't even.

Her repeating that she knew she was making the biggest mistake of her life got on my last friggin' nerve after a while. And Grace's so-called best friend, CeCe, was a total disgrace. I wouldn't for the life of me want to have such a dumb cow as a friend.

"Oh, my God, the Ice?" she breathed, shaking his hand and not releasing it.
"Yes."
Grace groaned at Ice's amusement.
"I want to have your babies."
Grace was going to kill her friend--literally kill her--for embarrassing her.

Father is not written pére. It's spelled père. Accent aigu = é and accent grave = è.

A couple quotes...

"You still pissed?"
Her steak knife banged to her plate. "I had just given you and instead of saying something romantic or even something like, maybe, good job, you compared it to others you'd had by God knows how many women," she hissed.
"I said it was the best."


He just lied to you, baby.


"Or maybe the movie we watched?"
"Maybe," she admitted.
"Why didn't you tell me you can't watch scary movies?"
"Because I wanted you to stay," she said softly.
*insert eye-roll*
"Baby, I wouldn't have left because of a fucking television show."

This woman…is she for fucking real?


The obligatory bad dirty talk:

"When I get you in a real bed, I'm going to fuck this pussy so much you won't know what it's like not to have me inside you. Every time you see me, you'll get wet because you'll know I'll be in you in a minute. You're going to give it to me, aren't you?


Anyhoo, another one has bitten the dust. Movin' on�

While I did like this story I didn't love it, Ice is the president of the Predators MC. While we're told he's hard, tough and cold as ice, his character didn't quite come across as a badass biker IMO. Grace was okay, she did try to stand up to Ice, but she gave in to him too easily for me. I also thought that their relationship felt superficial without any real depth. They seemed a bit mismatched to me.

I don't want to give spoilers, but this was a story that at times felt a little disjointed, the opening chapters were fast paced and held much promise of a good read, but then it seemed to lag in the middle with nothing much happening, the final chapters do pick up the pace again. The sex scenes were okay but not as hot as I'd hoped for. For a lot of this story it just seemed as though Ice kept his life with his MC separate from what he had with Grace. When the club was having a party for his birthday he didn't even invite her! That didn't sit well with me. On a brighter note for those of you who've read The Last Riders, you'll be happy to hear Bliss isn't in this!

Overall this is a pleasant read to open the series, plus it's a quick read as well. I didn't connect with the characters as much as I'd hoped to. But I'm looking forward to Jackal and Penni's story.

.New highlights (2021)
What woman in her right mind would become involved with a convicted felon?

Ice’s lips twitched. She looked like she was attending a funeral� her own.

The woman was a fucking looker. The prison was crazy to let in a woman who looked like that around men whose dicks hadn’t had a woman in months, if not years.

CeCe, who refused to stay quiet. “If you can hear me, stay strong, Grace. I know you’ll come out alive. Make friends with your captors.� She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

“She’s a friend of yours?� Ice asked. Grace heard the men laughing. “Not anymore.� Ice shook his head, rising from the table. “Too bad she wasn’t the one sent to teach the class.�

“Fuck.� Ice rolled over, taking her in his arms and pillowing her head on his shoulder. “I’m not going to touch you; I prefer women begging me to fuck them not cringing in fear.�

Women could look at something they wanted and dream about it, work for it, and save for countless days to have it. Men wanted things immediately.

“Ice, do you think she knows she's not in that basement anymore?� “Yes, baby, I do. I think she knows both of you are free.� “But I’m not.�

“Baby, you can deal with a sprained ankle. If you’re going to be my woman, you’ve got to toughen up.�

“Baby, if you weren’t a virgin, I’d pound you into the wall.�

His mouth closed over her lips, giving her his tongue as his fingers thrust through her hymen, filling her as far as he could reach.

Ice wiped his hand on his prison pants. “I’m going to smell and taste like you for the rest of the day.�

Grace lay back down on the mat, curling into a ball. She was ashamed of her body’s reaction to Ice.

“If they were bright, their asses wouldn’t be sitting in prison.� “I learned the hard way. Those men have knowledge we’ll never have, Dax. Most of them made bad decisions.�

Ice stared at Desmond, the owner and CEO of Beck Industries and the unknown ruler of Queen City. He had replaced King, who everyone in the large city had feared.

Ice nodded as he took his drinks from Rita. The sexy brunette was wearing a pair of blue-jean shorts, which rode up her ass, her jutting tits pressing against the T-shirt she wore.

“You haven’t... I don’t want to be all-personal and shit, but you haven’t been hitting the pussy like you usually do. The others and me hit it so hard when we got released the bitches couldn’t walk straight for a week. But since you got released... Well, you haven’t taken the load off.� Ice picked his beer up, taking a drink before confiding to his longtime friend, “Haven’t wanted any club pussy.

The pussy I’m wanting is three hours away.� He waited for the laughter to come; instead, Max stared back in relief.

“Don’t be that way, Ice. I only stopped by to see you. The other guys mentioned you might have a problem…� She cleared her throat. “They said you haven’t...�

Ice grabbed Brandy by the nape of her neck, leading her toward the pool table in the center of the room. He bent her over it, her ass in the air. Kneeing her legs apart, he raised the tight skirt over her ass before ripping the bright red thong off. He then unbuckled his jeans and pulled out his engorged cock before reaching into his back pocket and taking out a condom.

He didn’t even touch her weeping pussy as he rammed his cock deep inside her.

The harder he gave it to her, the more she screamed, clawing at the pool table.

When he was finished, he took off the condom and tossed it onto the floor before zipping himself back into his jeans.

Ice had been forced to prove himself, or he would have been fighting his own men with Desmond barely holding onto Queen City.

He hadn’t fucked another bitch since Brandy. Hell, he hadn’t even wanted to fuck Brandy.

“Indisposed? What the fuck does that mean?� He stood up to face her. “If you’re mad at me, then be mad. I don’t dig chicks who use sex as a punishment.�

“If I had a kid, I’d call it a kid. But I’m never going to have a kid. I call you my baby because I like taking care of you, making sure you have everything you need, and because”� Ice glanced own at his plate, pushing it away slightly—� you’ve never been anyone else’s, only mine. I never had that before.�

She was falling in love with him, and she had no idea how she was going to make it work.

“Why don’t you want children, Ice?� His expression went cold. “Because I won’t pass along my father’s genes or his name. It’s going to die with me.� He took a long drink of beer. “I want kids. I already have their names picked out,�

“If that’s what you really think, then you’re a bigger fool than I thought you were. He fucked Brandy on that pool table over there right after he came back from seeing you.�

“I told her the men had called Brandy for you tonight, and she got mad and smarted off to me. She thought she was the only one you were fucking, so when I told her you had Brandy on the pool table, she left.�

“From now on, you’re nothing but a club whore unless one of the brothers or recruits”� Rita winced. None of the bitches were expected to fuck the recruits—� want you.

“Grace, I didn’t fuck her that night because I wanted her. Dammit, I was still hard from wanting you. My men expected me to fuck her. To them, whores are part of our life. They don’t mean anything.�

“How’d you accomplish that?� “I quit fucking around.� Colton smiled. “That’s not so easy with all the pussy hanging around here,� “Had any since she left?� “No,� Ice admitted.

“I won’t have a man cheating on me.� “What am I supposed to do? Give my brothers up for you?�

Does Colton fuck around on Vida?� “No.� “Do the men respect him?�

It’s me you let down. It’s me who was hurt and humiliated in front of everyone. It’s me you won’t confide in about what happened at the prison when they all know. You haven’t proved you deserve me, but I’ll find someone who will.�

That night, I didn’t want to push you; instead, I rode home and fucked Brandy. I’ll never give another woman what’s yours again. I swear, Grace,�

“Did you fuck those men?� “Yes!� she hissed.
“Did you fuck those men?� “No! I didn’t even dance with anyone,� she admitted, panting through her arousal.

Grace frowned. “Do you think I gave in too easily? I never thought I would be one of those women who would forgive her boyfriend for cheating.�

“Have you been married before?� “No, and I have no intention of getting married. They all end in divorce.�

“I’ve never rode a woman bareback before. You want babies? I’m going to give you babies. I’m going to give you anything you need to make you happy. Move in with me, Grace. I love you.�

“Oh, God,� she moaned as he pounded her cunt while his men and the other women in the room watched.
"When he was finished, he took off the condom and tossed it onto the floor before zipping himself back into his jeans."
"He hadn’t fucked another bitch since Brandy. Hell, he hadn’t even wanted to fuck Brandy."

“But you fucked her after you were with me.� “Yes, several times before I met you, and one time before we had sex when I came down and it was raining,� Ice answered honestly."

“Let me go, you cheating ass-wipe.�

"That night, I didn’t want to push you; instead, I rode home and fucked Brandy. I’ll never give another woman what’s yours again. I swear, Grace,� he groaned."

For the sake of getting rid of books in my TR section I decided to give this one a go & I'm glad I did.

We meet Ice, who is the president of the MC and Grace who is a tutor. Grace is asked to attend and teach some sessions in prison which she is forced into doing. This is where Ice & Grace meet, and their chemistry starts from here�

I loved Ice, even though he did that one horrible thing but apart from that he was perfect (crazily possessive and hilarious which is probably why I liked him). Grace was also a likeable character as she portrayed herself as a confident female and someone who is able to take care of herself. The storyline is quite rushed as we have a lot going on in a short amount of time, plus it is a quick read.

Overall, I enjoyed it. Some parts I did not like BUT I found myself goofy smiling at other parts. This seems like a typical MC book, but the storyline is quite different to other books. Enjoyyy! :)

MY RATING ☆☆☆☆ Riot (Predators MC #1) by Jamie Begley

4 FIRE & ICE STARS



I admit when I first jumped on this it was because of the cover HOT DAMN!! Then the Synopsis..Then all the recommendations that I just had to read this..

This is one of my favorite genres which I tend to jump on, I did enjoy this, easy story line to get caught up in, hot biker called ICE what more could a girl ask for, well this girl really just likes more grit in her biker books, those stomach curdling moments were lacking (for me)..Plus I felt like Ice cam across too pussy whipped, he didn't come across like this hard tough talking rough as they come biker which he was kind of portrayed as..

But in saying all of the above I am still looking forward to the next installment of this..

I'm going to be truthful. I'm not a good man. I never will be. If I was, I would stay the f*ck away from your daughter and never see her again. I would give her a chance to find a husband to give her all those kids she wants, and she'd have a normal life. But I won't. She's mine. She's been mine since the minute I saw her ~ ICE

“Damn, am I seeing things?� Max’s voice drew Ice’s attention to the door. He barely managed to keep his mouth from hanging open when he saw a woman cautiously enter the room.

The lithe blond was tall for a woman. Ice gauged her to be around five-nine. She was wearing a plain, black skirt with a jacket on over a black top. Ice’s lips twitched. She looked like she was attending a funeral—her own.

She hesitantly walked towards the front of the room, placing a briefcase on the desk. When she turned to face the room, Ice sucked in his breath.

The woman was a fucking looker. The prison was crazy to let in a woman who looked like that around men whose dicks hadn’t had a woman in months, if not years. Ice knew the men would be beating off to the memory of the woman staring at the room of prisoners with a carefully blank face. She wasn’t as unafraid as she appeared, though.

Ice’s life had depended on reading people since he was a kid, and this woman was terrified. He had no idea how she had ended up teaching this course, but it was the last place she wanted to be.

“Good morning. My name is Grace Andrews. Ms. McAllistor has met with an unfortunate accident, so I will be taking her place this semester.�

Ice and Jackal shared a look. All the intel they had done on the previous teacher was now useless. Jackal nodded his head in silent communication that he would get the new information they needed on the teacher who was talking at the front of the room, describing to them what they would be able to accomplish on the computer by the end of the semester. Ice had news for her, he wouldn’t be here by the end of the semester, and she wouldn’t, either.

Hot!


Another great MC book my Jamie Begley.
It was a really fun, fast read. It even had a bit of unpredictability, and that's hard to find in any romance book.

And let's not even mention the hot alpha males we're all used to in MC books! I want them for my bitthday!

Still a 5 star read for me. Love the characters and the storyline.
Read October 2014
I admit I'm a Jamie Begley fan girl. Have read all of her books and loved most of them. Riot was a good, sweet love story. I would classify it as MC biker lite. For those readers who hated the Last Riders series because of the sex scenes and perceived less than considerate OTT heroes, this will be your cup of tea. Sex scenes are restricted to the H/h and no sharing. Regarding cheating, I usually have liberal views on this in reading a romance because I know in real life it happens and I judge based on how the cheater redeems themselves. I've seen other reviews where it is said there is no cheating. Well, there is one scene that troubled me about this sweet, considerate, alpha male. He has claimed the H, told her she is his but she's not ready for sex with him and that she can't have sex with anyone else because she belongs to him. He goes immediately back to the club and publicly screws a club whore because he is afraid the club members will think he is weak if he doesn't. Seems he hasn't had sex with any of the club whores since he started pursuing the h. I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but I respected him less because he "feared" what his members would think of him than I would if he had just screwed her because he just wanted to get off or get relief after leaving the h. Yes, later in the book he grovels and begs forgiveness.
Now the h in this story made me flip on my fantasy romance button where I overlook things that just don't jibe with me and chant " it's just a fictional romance" to myself. The h is taken hostage by the H and other prison inmates and has to spend days until she is released. We find out that when she was a teenager she was abducted by a psychopath and held for two weeks while being mentally tortured. IMO the h adapted way too easily to being taken hostage the second time. But like I said, it's fictional and I see the author was projecting the h "trusted" the H because of her previous encounters with him.

Overall it was a good, fluffy, lite romance with a hot guy who was alpha but leaned a little to the beta. I especially loved the animals in the story and I think the H's feelings towards the animals endeared me to him more than anything. While I enjoyed the book, I doubt if it will go on my read again list.

3.5 Stars for me

4.5 Stars!!!

All hail to the queen of biker romance books!

I really love how Jamie Begley constantly surprises me on each biker's characters and their story, and how, if you’re a fan, and I am, and have read all her biker books from the start, you would instantly recognize the series-character's connections!

Like, I knew of Jackal and Penni (Penni is Shade’s (from , The Last Riders series) sister) and have read Colton and Vida’s story on on the VIP series� Why am I mentioning them? Cause Jackal and Colton are with the Predator MC and I have always been curious about their group and now, finally, their very own series!!!! Yay!!!

And what better way to introduce them with by starting with their own club president, Ice!

It all started with Ice and some of his club members namely, Jackal, Max, Buzzard, and Fade were raided, cuffed and jailed. And there, they have a plan� and this plan includes a certain teacher, who just happens to be the lead female character, Grace, who was left with no choice but to teach computer class at prison, that same prison where Ice and the rest of the gang are in.

I can’t really say more about the story without spoiling it� so I’ll just leave it at that.

I was so not liking Ice to start with, I didn’t like what he did, but then I got to know him more and I started warming up to him and ended loving Ice in the end. His being possessively jealous was hilarious yet sweet!

Example, Ice reaction to a chocolate cake Grace baked for him on his birthday that Grace had also made for Jones’s birthday. Jones is a co-worker of Grace that she also dated long before she met Ice. And this is a scene where Ice was having dinner at Grace’s place and Jones was there as Cece’s date. (Cece is Grace’s BFF.)

“Thanks, Grace. I love your chocolate cake. I gained five pounds on the one you made me for my birthday.�
Ice rose from the table. “She made you a cake for you birthday?�
Ԩ.�
“It was from the whole faculty,� Grace explained, escaping to the kitchen.
Ice followed her in, packing the dirty dessert plates.
“Don’t forget to wrap me a piece to take home, too.� His caustic voice had her hackles rising.
“His birthday was last July before I met you, not that it matters.� She placed her hands on her hips. “I can make that cake for anyone I want to.�
“That’s my cake.�
“It’s my cake and I can—�
Ice backed her against the counter, taking her face between his hands. His mouth landed on hers with a demanding passion, which didn’t ease until her arms circled his neck, and she was clinging to his broad shoulders.
He lifted his head. “That’s my cake.�
“It’s yours. I’ll make him a carrot cake for his next birthday.�


It didn’t take long for me to connect with Grace and I specially loved her when she stood up for herself. The poor girl is never out of danger! But not for the lack of trying. I guess you can’t stop who you fall in love with. :D

Ice went stiff. “You want me to pretend to be someone I’m not?�
Grace’s heart ached as her hand dropped away. “No. I haven’t asked you to change anything about yourself. You expect me to wait on you like the women at your club, and I don’t mind it, because I like making you happy. I go to the club and stay with you and hang out with your friends, even though one of them humiliated me and none of them want me to be with you, because I don’t fit in, but I do it to make you happy. I wear jeans and tops I usually just wear around the house, but I wear them to make you happy. It would be nice if you did the same for me once to make me happy and keep my mother from spending the next few days asking why I’m with you.�


I really enjoyed Ice and Grace’s interactions. It was sweet, romantic, fun and hot!

Like all the other biker books of Ms. Begley’s, there’s enough action and suspense that gives the story a certain edge� And the story comes together in the end.

Not to forget the humour� wait till you meet Grace’s mom who hates Ice! ;)

Loved it. ❤️❤️

3.5 - 4 Stars

Riot was a little difficult for me. There were aspects of the story that needed to be flushed out better. The book started out great. Love Jackal and Max; can't wait to read their stories. And while I totally love Ice, there were several times I wanted to smack him upside the head.

Grace; however, totally annoyed me. What separates a good Jamie Begley book from a great one is the heroine. Vida from Teased, Diamond from Knox's Stand, and Evie from King are all great characters. Well developed and interesting heroines make middle of the road Alpha/badboy story gripping. Unfortunately, to quote Grace herself "she (is) a doormat" and as a result this book did not rate higher for me.

I was so looking forward to this book, I loved the synopsis and the cover, wow I really, really liked the cover, the reviews were all 5 star and it started so well, really well, I was happy and I was hooked but then it kind of stalled and I wasn't really sure what to expect anymore and it's difficult to explain because I read romance, I love romance the build up and the happy endings but I also like a bad boy, particularly a big muscled tattooed biker bad boy and this is the difficult part because while the softer Ice fits in with the romance part I found I actually wanted the bad biker side more, I mean this is an MC book right and Ice well he came across as, I want to say a bit of a pussy really but that wouldn't be fair I know but he didn't seem like a tough hard as ice biker and I just wanted him to man up. Yes I appreciate its a bit of a contradiction which is what makes this review so difficult to write.
Parts of this book were far fetched, now I appreciate this is a biker romance that starts in prison so it's always going to be the case but this stretched it out to the max, I don't want to spoil anything or give anything away but it was just too much to be believable at times.
Jackal and Penni, I wanted more I've been waiting for their book ever since they first appeared together in a Last Riders book and when it mentioned they were in this book I couldn't wait to read it but their appearances together are fleeting, I know, I know it's not their book, their turn will come.
This review is sounding more negative than I intended, like I said the start is excellent it just loses its way and seems to go in circles a bit in the middle, but it pulls itself together in the end. One very big plus is there's no Bliss, if I never read another word about her I'll be happy.
In conclusion this wasn't the book I was hoping for but when I think back I didn't like Razer's Ride much at all but Shade's Fall went on to be one of my favourites so I'm sticking with this series and from all the 5 star reviews I'm in the minority, here's hoping Jackal and Penni are next, with a bit of Shade thrown in of course but please no, no, no Bliss.
This was going to be 3 stars but I'm giving an extra half a star simply because there was no Bliss.

New series for Jamie Begley,the Predators MC.Unlike the Last Riders,this series is much lighter in tone,I even laughed a couple of times.I don't like dark and gritty ,so this was perfect for me.I loved Ice! his total devotion to his old lady Grace,and his possessive attitutide just had me.He did have a wtf moment with a past "club bitch", but it really did not bother me and I saw what drove him to commit the "act".
The couple first meet in prison where the heroine is to teach a computer class.After a few weeks and limited conversation ,there is an attempted prison break.The h is taken hostage by the hero along with two guards.Unknown to the H,h was taken hostage at 17 along with her two bff's.The other two girls were killed and after 6 weeks,she was rescued.Since that time,she has lived a life of fear and caution hence living in a small town in obscurity.
During the hostage crisis,Ice makes his move on Grace and share quite a few steamy moments.When she is finally free and Ice is released from prison shortly after,this couple connect and begin a relationship. They have their ups and downs,but,Ice's biggest obstacle is Grace's mother who put him thru his paces a few times.As things seem to run smoothly ,on old enemy from prison is released and comes after Grace.
The h's dogs were scene stealers along with Ice's reaction towards them.
Past characters makes appearances ,Penni being one of them.The fire has ignited between her and Jackal.Some other members back story looks intriguing.
All in all,a very good start to this series for me and looking forward to the rest. Ice has become my favorite JB character.

~3.5 stars~
While I've read a few books from this author, this is probably the only one I've somewhat enjoyed.
Why I didn't love it? There may have been some cheating. (I know I know it's a MC book, what did I expect)
But...Is it considered "cheating" if the H is with someone else before he sleeps with the h? I'm torn. Although he hadn't slept with Grace yet, he had just left her house before he slept with this woman from his club. Now you're wondering why would the H sleep with someone else? (Other than being horny, of course)
He did it to prove himself to his brothers and not be seemed as a weak link. He had just left prison after four months and he hadn't had a woman since then. Of course his brothers found his behavior odd and taunted him about being pussy-whipped. The H, on the other hand, was trying to be patient so he decided to wait for when Grace was ready. If you ask me, his whole reasoning about sleeping with another woman seemed a little stupid. Faithfulness have nothing to do with his club.
I'd like to add there's no sharing in this book (no threesome) and I was a little surprised to find out (aside from the cheating) the H isn't an asshole.

Pleasant� I read another review that described this as a pleasant read. I think that sums it up pretty well. The beginning of the book is Prison Break 2.0 and quickly morphs into an opposites attract story. Some of the dog antics had me laughing which is an accomplishment In and of itself. I like a bit more angst from JB but this was a good palate cleanser. Grace and Ice navigate a hea fairly easily. Of course there is a tad of ow drama but I thought it was overplayed for the drama and third act breakup.Maybe she should have called this series Easy Rider because this was an easy read. I had to knock down the stars because I skimmed quite a bit through the mid section.

Mmmm yummy...yummy, loved all the in jail action and drama. It was nicely served with some hot alpha men. Ohhh yah these were MEN, not little kid next door boys, but actual fine prime specimen... men.
One Jail

Five hot biker guys and one sexy as sin Prez (Ice)

And one hostage teacher named Grace

Ice, president of the Predators� MC, will do everything in his power to ensure Grace's survival. Even if that means stopping her from running. Losing her isn't an option!!

Yes....I am psyched that Jamie started the Predators MC Series with Ice...I would have settled for Jackal (Cause all that sexual tension that has been building with Penni is bound to explode soon), but Ice was such a surprise...character wise, he had more depth, and more feelings then I thought...with a name like Ice...ya just never know.

Sweet, Sweet Grace...How I loved her, and her need for independence...I don't think I could have enjoyed their interactions any more then I did. The tifs, the big emotional moments, the "hittin the sheets" moments...they were just a match made in Biker Heaven.

Warning to all you Bliss-Haters....You won't be liking Rita either! or Brandy for that matter! With the classic Begley charm that comes with all her releases, Jamie has again made me fall in love...in the middle of chaos!!

Jamie is in such trouble now, because not ONLY will I harass her for Train and Killyama's Book (The Last Riders Series), but I will have to beg for ore Predator's as well. I don't mess around when it comes to my bikers!

This is such a strange book. The premise was interesting but it turned into a confusing mess. And this is a shame because there was potential for a great book.

My points may seem petty but I think an author who has written as many books as Jamie Begley has should be able to better craft a story.

Hmmmm, what was that?!?!?
My impression from every other mention of the Predators was they were the BIGGEST MOTHER FUCKIN, SON OF A BITCHES of all BADASSES MOTHER FUCKERS. Every one quivers just hearing their names. Watch the fuck out for the Predators.
Then they get their own series and come off as a bunch of PUSSIES!!!!

How did this happen?!?!? It's baffling. Hell, they made Stud look like Billy Bad Ass, compared to them, and he was rather weak in the biker prez role.

Started and finished this right before I went to sleep! Woo.

2.75/5 stars

Although I enjoyed the book the characters really pissed me off. They were dull and average. What can I say? I expected more. The plotline wasn't very... stimulating. Throughout the story the hero and heroine are just hot and cold with each other. There were complications to the story but were resolved too quickly without it developing into anything major. I would have liked to see more Church here and there, maybe sending threats? All we readers got was a few pages of him showing up suddenly and tying up the heroine. I almost forgot why he even had a grudge against her in the first place.

The heroine... was a doormat. There isn't much to say about her because she isn't... well... much. LOL! The hero was even more boring, I didn't feel any presence from him even though he's suppose to be this tough, bad-ass biker. I felt as if the hero and heroines relationship developed more in the physical aspect than emotional. I mean a lot of smut is good (very good if done well!) but it's kind of just nothing without a connection. They didn't talk much or get to know each other. The only time I felt as if they confided in each other was when Grace was telling Ice about what happened with Winston (she got kidnapped by a dude called Winston in the past because he wanted a wife). That was probably it.

Overall I was disappointed. Mostly because of the previous mc books I've read have set the bar high.

Jamie Begley has become one of my go to authors for MC reads...
I get in my moods and need my fix and with her books we get funny sometimes corny stories,
Alpha assholes you want to beat to shit at times but redeem themselves by the end of the story, some (not all) serioulsy kickass heriones and a suspenseful plots..
It wasn't an Insta Love for me but the the more I read the more they grew on me and now I anxiously await the next release whether it's from an exsisting series or a spin off...
I've been spacing them out just so.. WAITING for Jackal and Penni's story
{hint hint, wink wink} Ice and Grace brought the best out in each other!! I really enjoyed this spin-off

Ice and Grace

Ice is the president of the Predators MC he meets Grace while in prison, she is a teacher.

After the escape they start seeing each other, however that isn't without some club women drama! Eventually she forgives him just wished she stood he ground or at least kicked the woman's a$$.

Stops at 80% again.

NOPE. This is the second book I've attempted with this author and it's just ridiculous. I'm sorry, but if your friend is being held hostage in a prison you don't go on TV and tell her to "make friends with her captors" nudge nudge wink wink. Give me a break.
