Okay so here we go. This is a really good solid read.

Rider and Jenna.

This book and book 1 Detour (Beautiful Biker #1) cover the same time period for the first bit of the book. If you haven't read book 1 you don't need to read it to enjoy this book or if it's been a while since you read book 1 you don't necessarily need to re-read to catch up as events are skimmed over book 1 or are looked at from a different angle as it's Jenna's perspective. There is a small amount of repetition during this part but I think I only noticed as I read book 1 and 2 back to back.

So from book 1 we know that Rider and Jenna got together a couple of times and it seemed from book 1 it may have meant more to her than him and of course there was 'the incident' which Rider had to sort out with Jenna. I don't want to explain too much about 'the incident' not to give too much away to any first time readers.
I liked that Jenna didn't just say that is was okay. Something of that nature would rock your view of someone and she can't quite get her head around it.
Jenna also has huge family issues and it's not simple for her to sort out.

Rider was really vulnerable at times and under all his happy go lucky face he was felt things deeply.

There is plenty from Deacon and Ella and the rest of the gang including people from the other chapter. What I really liked was we got to see more of Jo-Jo, I really liked her and I can't wait for her story.
At times I found Jenna a bit frustrating, 'yes but no' 'no but yes', that for me went on a little bit too long. Rider pushed her to her limits and with his history it was hard to tell if he was serious, mad or playing. I was a bit confused by his motives at the start, they have a rocky one, I think it's a case of not realizing there is more to her than a pretty face.
It's a very angsty read. There are lots more story-lines to explore, with a possible spin-off with other charters.
There is a small amount of ex drama, no cheating. HEA and epilogue.
Some things are left open but obviously the plan is to cover it in someone else story.
Spencer is next. His story is hinted at but I think that is going to be a complicated one as he seems the most messed up by his mum. ( )

He did say some things I thought were unkind and he never really took them back.

It's a mixed bag for me, it's well written but there were times I didn't like Deacon. ( )

WOW!!!! just wow!! I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Joyride by D. D. Prince and what a journey, I pulled an all-nighter to finish this so great was this stories pull for me.
I just couldn't put this down, I was enthralled from the opening scenes, right to the finale and this is a long book let me tell you, so my eyes were gritty from lack of shut-eye by the time I finished.
So so worth it, who needs sleep anyway it's overrated.
So Joyrider itself can totally be read, in my opinion, as a standalone, I will say reading Detour first will definitely give it that something extra and really enhance the whole experience, it isn't really necessary know.
But if you do want my advice read Detour as well, it's also a fantastic read that doesn't disappoint.
So this is set in the same MC world as the previous book and features two of the supporting characters Jenna and Rider.(The Best Friend and Brother)
Joyride basically tells the tale of the development and growing feeling between the two, while also focusing on the misunderstanding and trust issues that arise along the way.
In my opinion its a tale of two halves the before and after and you will see what I am referring to when you read this for yourself.
I also made that initial mistake of taking these two good time guy and gal at face value from the previous book as this is how I perceived them both to be.
The lesson I took away here is don't always judge a book by its cover sometimes you need to open the pages and read.
And this is something Rider especially had to learn to do as he slowly came to realise that he had done just that Judged a book by its cover.



and with the still ongoing issues of the Dominion Brotherhood MC’s War with the Jackel's Jenna gets caught in the crossfire as events implode in dramatic style.
So I really adored both main characters like loads and what made them so likeable was their sheer relatability.
I found both to be highly flawed in a lot of ways and it's so much easier to identify with normal flawed human beings.
I especially adored Riders humour and how he was able to add a lighter tone to events while also knowing when to change track as his intensity was needed.
It was also this humour that I think helped to smash down Jenna's walls and let's face it a sledgehammer was needed to totally obliterate these.
Jenna herself was high maintenance with a capital H, events surrounding her childhood have shaped her into the woman she is and Rider can totally identify as he just gets it with his mother being the way she is also.
They have this in common, a thread connecting them together.
Jenna herself I wanted to shake her constantly, just so she’d see some sense.
It was like she was on a fast track of self-destruction, self-sabotaging behaviour and as I watched, sometimes at times with sheer disbelief, dumbfounded at her actions.
I wanted to give her a swift kick up the ass and scream OMG girl really.
This, while still also understanding the logic behind her self-saving conduct.
I have never wanted to strangle a character so much while at the same time give them a big hug and say everything’s gonna be ok girlfriend.
Joyride itself had me laughing and crying and was so much more emotive than what I was expecting.
and boy did I laugh at the many varied comebacks and banter between Jenna and Rider.
And then in the next breath cry at the truly heartbreaking events also occurring.



It was angsty which I don't always like, here it didn't bother me at all, maybe because I was just so captivated by the whole story.
I should also mention Joyride is written from Jenna's POV, again not an issue for me, my only real concern with this style of writing is sometimes it can fail to capture the complete profile,of in this case that would be Rider.
I didn't feel that here, I felt that I got to know Rider as a man equally as much as Jenna.
Oh and while I'm rambling on here my new fave word, ALPHAHOLE love it, and I found this cool pic and written quote to explain what one of these males actually are.

As you can see from above chart, alphahole’s controlling tendencies push him to the very edge of a-hole spectrum. Any more a-hole and we risk entering Shades of Gray territory. Please note that caretaker hero type falls closer to alphahole on the a-hole spectrum than to beta male. Caretaker hero is driven by an overwhelming urge to protect and take care of the heroine and in the name of keeping her safe, he might exhibit serious alphahole tendencies, as demonstrated by Edward in Twilight series.

I got the above handy explanation from http://www.ilona-andrews.com/brief-analysis-of-alphahole-trope-in-romantic-ficti...

Just for the record Joyride is full of Hot Alphaholes. fanning myself here.
So back to it, the story here flowed and I was transfixed throughout I also loved being able to revisit Ella and Deacon and the many diverse individuals that make up this world.
So to conclude Joyride was a fantastic read that I immensely enjoyed and I have no issue recommending to you at all.
And this here ends my rambling, this is hands down my favourite read of 2018 so far.
You so need to just pick this up and give it a chance.
I was provided with an ARC of Joyride from the author of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
