The Brat and the Bossman: An MM Protector/Tortured Hero Romance (The Hedonist Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Rebecca James (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 540 ratings
Rich brat, determined biker, buried trauma.
Blaze made it clear last summer that he wasn’t interested, so why is the biker suddenly so eager to date Lake? Lake works eighteen hours days just to make ends meet--he doesn't have time for Blaze's b.s. Still, every considerate, helpful thing Blaze does for Lake draws Lake in closer, and those blue, blue eyes...
But the more Lake sees of Blaze, the more something is triggered in his brain. Something unpleasant. And it’s not going away.
The Brat and the Bossman can be read as a standalone but is better enjoyed read in series order. Tropes are barely making it, MCs at odds, PTSD, bratty pole dancer and a biker determined to win him.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019

    Another exciting tale from the Hedonist Motercycle Club. We already like their President, Blaze, with jet black hair, blue eyes, muscles and tattoos, who has helped so many. He's realized he wants Lake, and sets out to win him over. Lake is younger, 26, tall, blonde hair, green eyes, who works 3 jobs, including waiter and pole dancer, to keep himself above water. He's confused about Blaze's turn around. I love all of the Club members and the story is a dramatic mix of issues. Down and out Lake, disowned by family works himself to the bone every day. Blaze rescues him when he passes out, and again a short while later from an abusive neighbor. Lake's been attacked and targeted enough in his life, and it's time for a change. When Lake is homeless, Blaze takes him to the Club to stay. Their feelings and sexy times escalate, but Lake can't figure out why Blaze likes him, because his self esteem is low. Lake's past stories are sad in several ways, which we will see. Blaze is by his side for everything that comes up. In addition, we have MC rivals bringing trouble, and the porn business merger.
    The "off the charts" hot and passionate lovin' with these men is amazing. It's M/M firsts for Blaze and he relishes every moment and new act. We get satisfaction from the resolved issues for sweet Lake, and for the rivals. I'm glad therapy is involved for Lake's anxiety, PTSD, and past abuse.
    I loved each man, and Lake deserves good times as much as Blaze. They're a terrific couple.
    A riveting story with guts and heart. Highly recommended.
    ENJOY !

    This turned into a surprisingly very good read. It read for me like a slow burn, Which I suppose it might very well be. I think it also read so for me because the character Lake was very annoying and aggravating to the Nth° to me, and made it hard to continue reading. I've had this book and my kindle library for several weeks now and I just finished it as I'm leaving this review. I almost didn't want to finish reading it But I did it.

    This was another emotional ride, and I'm betting the next will be as well. I enjoyed watching Lake grow and find his own family. It can be hard to trust, especially when you've been let down so spectacularly. Blaze was a great guy, very patient and understanding but also tough and loyal. It took him awhile to come to terms with himself, but when he realized it was right, and it clicked, he was all in for Lake. I'm looking forward to Ax and Caleb's story.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not My Favorite
    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I wanted to like this one, I really did. Lake and Blaze were pretty sweet together. I hope that Axel and Caleb are next.

    However, I did not enjoy the porn scenes. I found that reading about porn sometimes makes me uncomfortable, because I always worry about whether or not the actors are really doing this because they want to do it (which I hope so! And am pretty sure most are because they are free in their sexuality and sex positive and that’s great) or doing it because they have no choice or feel pressured to do it. I get that Jeovanni is all for it. Go him.

    (But we don’t need to keep being reminded that he has a huge peen. We got it. It got repetitive and annoying after awhile)

    Yet, Tony’s hesitancy set off so many warning bells for me and Lake’s history made me feel so much. So those two things together made me anxious. I didn’t like that. I could be reading into this wrong, but Tony’s part in porn scenes felt so forced. Too forced. Not sure what was going on , but hope that gets cleared up.

    The club drama felt a bit repetitive again and unnecessary. Ultimately, not one of my favorites but I thought it was okay.

    I was happy to read another book about the members of the Hedonist MC. They seem to resolve a lot of issues, except one. Blaze overcame his problem with commitment, he's now in a relationship with Lake. Morgan no longer have to worry about the Piston seeking revenge. The only issue remaining, is what happen between Cane and Toni. That's the next story I would like to read about. What happen?

    Blaze and Lake are my favorite of the series! i have really liked Blaze in the previous books and i was delighted to watch him find love. This story-line was interesting and with low angst. The writing flowed and i found i didn't want to stop reading it.

    This club is so not the stereo-typical bad boy biker club and i love finding out more about the members and seeing some previous friends. Lake and Blaze will steam up your kindle! I did enjoy watch Blaze find a way to help Lake. These MC's will make your day.

    This is the third book in the Hedonist series and i sure hope there are more to come. We certainly have some breadcrumbs that make the reader hope for more.

    This series just gets better with each book. Blaze and Lake met in Swish and Dante’s book and their second meeting doesn’t go much better. But Lake needs help and Blaze steps up. Lake needs someone to break his barriers down and Blaze doesn’t give up until he succeeds. Both men dealing with their pasts but together. Another amazing read and I can’t wait for the next.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 10, 2019

    Blaze and Lake's story is well written. Lake has had a hard time and seems to get into some rather horrid situations with people manipulating/ bullying him ' truly the guy needs someone to care for him and have his back, ta-dah Blaze!. Blaze is a typical alpha male that just realised he likes men. The story is interesting and it's good how they navigate all the challenges to become a couple. The inclusion of their jobs works with the plot; Blaze runs a porn production company and Lake has four different jobs. I find the guys peacocking rather funny. The conflict with the other biker gangs was a bit suspenseful and makes the story rounded. Towards the end of book, Lake's mother gets in touch and there's some additional context regarding Lake's childhood and his uncle - this part felt rushed and perhaps would have enhanced the story to be earlier in the book.

    I'd give the book 4stars, it's worth preserving to the end.

    ... leider muss ich einen Stern für die schlechte Editierung abziehen. Die Schriftgröße ändert sich, es gibt Tippfehler, Namen werden plötzlich anders geschrieben... aber ansonsten ist das Buch mal wieder toll. Ein bisschen eilig beendet, es hätte etwa doppelt so lang sein können, wäre Lakes Geschichte vernünftig aufgearbeitet worden. Aber Lake ist einfach ein toller, vielschichtiger Charakter. Außerdem finde ich bei jedem Buch dieser Reihe bisher die Ästhetik ansprechend, die Bilder, die durch die Beschreibung der Autorin im Kopf kreiert werden, was ein großer Pluspunkt ist.
