Taming Blade by Nicola Jane
Rating: 2/5
Hot and cold, back and forth
So this is book 5 in the Kings Reapers MC series. While you still have a hot read that includes some alpha males, mafia, a bit of danger and of course, hot love scenes, the formula for the stories seem to become too repetitive.
While Blade and Matilda (Tillie) are introduced in the previous book in what seems a sweet meet (Blade visits her Sweet shop regularly), the cuteness is not carried over into their book. I felt their constant fights and bickering where just too much. I definitely did not want them to even have a HEA. And I can almost guarantee that outside of the book they won't. I also felt that issues where there should have been conflict - (view spoiler) - is treated as almost a non-issue. Given Tillie's innocence this just does not make sense. Blade does redeem himself in the end but even here, I would have liked Tillie to acknowledge how Blade's sacrifice to keep her safe played into their HEA.
Some of the storylines from other characters also carry over here - also continuing the perpetual fighting between couples. Overall, I can forgive a$$holeness if the supposed alpha male acts to keep his woman safe but this includes emotionally safe and the series are moving too far from this tenet for me.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
