Peyton's Ride, Jennifer James (review)





Peyton's Ride
Divorcee Peyton Reynolds is ready to get out of town after her mother's death. A month long cross country ride on her Harley, free from her estranged family's judgement and the memories of her ex-husband's betrayal. A last check-up on her new cruiser leaves her alone in the garage with sexy town bad boy, Ian Coghlan.

Ian Coghlan knows he's nothing but bad news for a woman like Peyton. His killer affection has held him back from acting on a five year old attraction. One tiny grin in the gorgeous, curvy, brunette's direction and sockets start flying out of the tool boxes.

Pixie pranks abound, his old biker gang roars into the parking lot...and that's only the beginning of the mayhem.

When Peyton is left bleeding to death, he has to decide if he can let her go or if he's willing risk her eternal hatred for changing her life forever.



I have to start by saying that I haven't read many paranormal romance books.

Having said that, I was happily surprised at how much I enjoyed this read! 

I really liked Peyton. She has a sense of humor that had me laughing at her inner-dialog.  

It was quite great to read about Ian, also, and to get a mental image of him. 

The fantasy elements in this story were told well, being descriptive and allowing me to envision what's happening.


SLIGHT SPOILER:
Oh, and the love scene that happens... I have to admit it might be one of the best I've read. Magical ;) <3 

This was my first read of Jennifer James' books, but I plan to read more of her work! 




About the Author--Jennifer James

For a girl whose first book was called “The Scariest Forest Ever,” the jump to romance may seem to be a far one. But a love of happy endings and the stories she kept making up in her head for strangers on the street lead to an unhealthy amount of time spent behind the keyboard typing away and giggling mischievously over sassy heroines,
sexy heroes, and healthy sprinklings of geek humor.

With time split between a day job staring at teeth, two little girls, college courses, workaholic husband, and too many voices in her head, Jennifer still finds time to sneak off and devour all the books she can find – even if it means hiding in the closet to read them.

She insists on her jokes being dirty, drinks spiked, and tattoos placed in intriguing, muscular places you can only find when the clothes come off.
