A Bad boy with bike between his legs. Travis "Crash" Sinclair can rock my world anytime he damn well pleases. I think I was actually jealous of Billie and her getting to be with him. Jesus I need Travis in a real man. Just another reason Book Boyfriends are better the actual men. ( ) This is the second installment of the Deacons of Bourbon Street series, with each book being penned by a different author. The first book, Make You Burn, we met the dirty-talking raw and gritty, Ajax and his old lady, the stoic Sophie. In this installment, our male lead is Cash (Travis) who, since being exiled from the Deacons, has been working as a security analyst in Tallahassee. Cash got his name because he was good with computers and finances. Our female lead is Billie, the artist who rents the Deacons' old clubhouse for her art store and apartment. I actually liked Travis more than I did Ajax. While Ajax certainly got steamy in the bedroom, he was pretty much an ass the rest of the time. Travis' character was a little more deep, and we had more back story on him to make him interesting. He was steamy too (think Liam Hemsworth in leather), but I think we lost some of the heat from of the first book. I also liked the cute and quirky Billie. The descriptions of New Orleans from her eyes were great, and I liked the jaunt to follow part of her ghost tour. There is even a female tour guide here who is an Aussie... so she may get a kick out of this book. At least through Billie's eyes, the city doesn't sound like its ALL so dirty and vomit-laced (though Bourbon Street is definitely like that). While I liked these characters better, for some reason I disconnected with the story after they got together the first time. I have no idea what happened. Don't get me wrong - I still liked it. I just lost the passion somewhere. The conversation between Travis and Billie was sometimes a little awkward, like the romantic that just didn't fit with the biker leather. I loved the descriptions of Billie's sketches of Cash and his tattoos... I got a good picture of those in my head. But seriously, it wouldn't be hard to imagine a tattooed Hemsworth sketched out on paper. And I have definitely seen the other artwork around town that played a part in this book, particularly the cutlery animals. I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 3.5 stars / 3 flames. The second book in the Deacons of Bourbon Street series is even better than the first because we get to see more of Ajax and Sophie, find out more about the mysterious circumstances behind Priest's death and of course have a whole new couple to fawn over. Cash and Billie. Cash has left his bad boy biker days behind and made a new life for himself as a security analyst. Billie is making a new life for herself after a failed marriage as an art gallery owner. It is in this very gallery that Cash's old life and new life collide and somehow Billie is caught right in the middle of it. Trying to save themselves from this dangerous attraction to each other on one side, a disaster waiting to happen on the other and still find happiness is going to be a task for the both of them. ARC provided in exchange for an honest review Honestly, this was so disappointing after the first one in this series. I know there are different authors, so I hope the rest of the series is better because the first one was so good. I just didn't find anything about this one believable. The backstory felt thrown together and all of their "obstacles" were contrived. The characters weren't fleshed out well and it made the ensuing sex scenes completely meh. Really enjoyed this book! This is the second in the Deacons of Bourbon Street series and in my opinion, this series really should be read in order to truly understand everything that is going on. This book centers around Travis Sinclair or Cash to the brothers. He's not at all happy about being back in NOLA and is ready to leave the city and memories behind him. Unfortunately his business here isn't quite finished and he can't leave until it is. Getting rid of the tenant in a building he inherited is his first priority, too bad she is one sexy little pixie that really does it for him. Billie Taylor has had it with domineering men. So why the hell is she so attracted to Travis? She should be running hard and fast in the opposite direction. In this battle of wills can anyone really win? Maybe both of them? This is very well written and really moves the story along. I'm definitely a fan of Travis! This is a book and series I would recommend. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la série
Can a scorching affair with a bohemian beauty tame a motorcycle man with a dark side? Rachael Johns takes the wheel in the sexy series co-written with Megan Crane, Jackie Ashenden, and Maisey Yates. Travis "Cash" Sinclair values only two things from his days with the Deacons of Bourbon Street: his prized Harley Davidson and the man who gave it to him. But now Priest Lombard is gone, and Cash has inherited the Deacons' clubhouse--not to mention its unexpected tenant. She's exactly the type of woman he tries to avoid: all incense and art, with a sharp tongue that promises trouble. So why does Cash want to push aside those flowing skirts and lose himself between her legs? Billie Taylor fled a bad marriage to start a new life among the grit and glamour of the French Quarter. She refuses to let another man distract her from her dreams, especially an outlaw biker with nothing to offer except hot sex and an eviction notice. Cash is dangerous, with an untamed streak he tries desperately to conceal. He drives Billie wild, sending her too close to the edge for her own good. And she won't fall under his spell--or into his bed--without a fight. Praise for Fire Me Up "As far as biker series goes, this one has certainly been a heck of a lot of fun! Sexy, smooth and sweet, Rachael Johns's installment of the Deacons of Bourbon Street is not to be missed."--A Tasty Read "Fire Me Up is the perfect title for Travis and Billie's hot tempers and even hotter romance. I recommend it as a must read."--I Heart YA Books "What happens when a hot biker with abandonment and commitment issues meets a hippie who challenges him in every way but dislikes everything he stands for? Well, a lot of heat, for one. . . . The story was enjoyable, the sexual chemistry between Travis and Billie was hot and the character development was really great. . . . I enjoyed reading Fire Me Up and I'm very interested in the rest of the brothers and the conclusion to the murder mystery."--The Sassy Bookster "Entertaining . . . crackling . . . The mystery, angst, and sensuality continues as readers are introduced to the gruff yet sexy playboy Travis and upbeat hippie girl Billie."--Words of Wisdom from the Scarf Princess "Fire Me Up was a great addition to this series. . . . I love a good mystery as well as a hot love story. Deacons of Bourbon Street is giving me both--a win-win for a romance reader. I highly recommend Fire Me Up for anyone who loves motorcycle club romances, a good mystery or just simply a good, solid love story."--Keeper Bookshelf "Fun, sexy . . . [Travis and Billie] were explosive together, which made for a very enjoyable book and addition to the series."--Majorly Delicious Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
