Reckless

Leather & Chrome, Book

By: Kiki Clark

Narrated by: John Solo

Ride hard. Love harder. Live recklessly.

Tank is done with his old life. All it's brought him is trouble and misery in the form of a four-year prison term. Though he did find one good thing while behind bars: Charles "CJ" Crane, pen pal extraordinaire.

After months of exchanging increasingly personal letters, Tank knows exactly where he's headed as soon as the prison gates open. CJ doesn't know he's coming, and he's not sure what he'll say when he gets there, but he knows one thing for certain.

The promises he and his boy made to each other in their letters may have been reckless, but he's willing to risk everything he’s got on finding out if what they have could be real.

Reckless is the first book in the Leather & Chrome series and features a motorcycle club's annual charity ride, a possessive biker whose new favorite color is pink, a 24-year-old overly eager to experience his first time, and an excessive appreciation for perfectly lined tattoos.

Amazing story

Ok I only thought the book was hot until I listened to this audiobook. Shew John Solo does an amazing job. I also need a fan… This story of Tank and CJ is just absolutely perfect and definitely worth your time. I love the characters in Tank’s new MC and they work they do is amazing.

Obsessed

Obsessed with this series! Cj and tank are everything. A hot and emotional start to a fabulous series!

Wonderful story

The story was very endearing. Narrator was believable, made the characters come alive. I wanted the story to come to life right in front of me. I love all of the books that are narrated by John Solo.

A lot of sizzle with a fizzle at the end

First off, this book isn’t meant to be anything more than steamy trash, so as long as you go in with those expectations, it’s a satisfying read. Is there a plot? Maybe. Does it matter? Not so much. This is wall-to-wall sexy times, a dabble of exhibitionism, some light daddy play, and a healthy dollop of possessiveness. Lol … it also takes place among members of the most wholesome motorcycle gang in the Midwest. I have a love/hate relationship with John Solo as a narrator — he’s the king of over the top narration — but he didn’t bother me much here as CJ and I really dug his gravelly Tank tone. I’ll probably check out another book in the series.

Hot and sweet MM MC romance

I usually avoid MC books because they are darker than I like to read. This book focused mostly on the relationship between Tank and CJ in present day and in the past through letters. The chapter Tank transfers to after getting out of prison is a dream come true for someone who had a bad experience with his old chapter. CJ and Tank are hot together and so totally in love.

This made me violently angry

The narrator is HORRIBLE. He's so dramatic and he speed reads when things are supposed to be intense then whispers randomly for no reason. I'm honestly mad because I feel like I'd really enjoy this story if it was read properly. I doubt I'll be able to finish this though. The performance is God awful.

A sweet and steamy MC romance

I've really been loving MC romances lately, and this one was another hit! Unlike some biker stories where the men are constantly getting into life-or-death situations, Tank and CJ's book was much more focused on club acceptance and sweet romance. This story picked up just when Tank finished his four-year prison stint, and I really enjoyed seeing how he made changes in his life to keep himself and his boy safe and happy. The pen pal letter interludes were a fun way to see how CJ and Tank got to know each other, but what really captivated me was when the two of them finally got to see each other in person. Awkward introductions aside, these men were wonderfully compatible with each other. Their first night together blew my mind, and their encounters kept getting more and more intoxicating as they began to explore their shared exhibitionist kinks. Don't even get me started on how hot their Daddy/boy dynamic was to me--I don't think I could ever get enough of their passionate moments between the sheets. On top of a nicely written romance, I also thought CJ and Tank's separate storylines were thoughtfully executed. Yes, Tank's primary motivation for moving was to get his boy, but he also found a new club family to accept and value him like no one had before. CJ, in turn, not only embraced an epic love but also discovered a new career path for himself that harnessed his creative side.

**I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this book. This review expresses my honest thoughts and opinions.

Spicy and sweet

CJ and Tank have my whole heart.
They are so kinky, possessive, fiery, and tender all at once.

Everyone needs someone like Tank; fiercely protective, loyal, big-hearted and tender, all wrapped up in a sexy leather package.

CJ is just impossible not to love. He’s so vulnerable and sweet, and you just want Tank to give him the love he deserves, and beat down anyone who hurts him. I was seriously so angry at his parents and his shitty roommates.

I enjoyed the narration, but at first I found Solos narration style a bit over the top. But he’s definitely a great actor, and was able to twist my heart up during emotional moments.

Cannot wait for Six’s story!

wow!

so hot 🔥 I am hoping for more. so hot 🔥 I am hoping for more.

A very sweet love story

This story centers around a couple who originally met as pen pals while one of them was imprisoned. The premise is interesting and luckily for CJ, Tank, who is the “Daddy,” is a very honest and good man. Otherwise trusting someone so completely so quickly could have gone very badly. But after some obstacles are overcome and with a lot of very hot sex this story works out happily. I listened to it in one sitting and enjoyed it a lot. Had me smiling while I was doing my work. I’ll definitely follow up with the next book.
