I was paying off a debt.
One that wasn’t mine.
But when your father screws over an outlaw motorcycle club and then disappears with their money, you have two choices.
Pay with your body, or pay with your blood.
With a little sister to protect, I did what I had to.
I gave them me.

REPO

I was born a protector.
Whatever it took, I did it.
My family, my brothers and the club’s name—I made sure that anyone who crossed us, or at least anyone who tried, learned quickly why they shouldn’t.
Seeing her sitting at the bar, I was drawn to her. Her scars, her bruises, and the light around her.
Without knowing me, she instantly had my back.
So it was only fair I had hers.

She walked in with the enemy.
But there was no way in hell I was letting her walk out with them.

4 1/2 stars for this gorgeous Protector and our beautiful, loyal and reluctant Club Girl.

Addison Jane writes great MC novels with lots of grit, violence and drama. Her characters are all strong, sexy and multi layered.

Overall a heart stopping emotional read about going through hell to protect those you love and making out the other side.

Looking forward to the next book in this new Brothers by Blood MC and Phoenix Club Girl Diaries series.

To say this author has a wonderful style and talent is understated in my opinion. I just love these books where the ladies may seem to be broken or in trouble but they are strong. And in this first book in the Phoenix club diaries we get to read Kennedys story. And honestly my heart went out to her character , but she really is one strong girl surviving what she did. As for Repo his story only one could image the horror of his childhood to what he is now. But he is still a good person.
Despite all odd these two lovely people are instantly bonded, Kennedy feels safe when hes around and as for Repo he feels this need to be her protector. But even when Kennedy feels safe from the monster that killed her father and made her suffer, for some reason he wont let her go and now hes after her sister!

5 stars plus for a truely wonderful story

3.0 out of 5 stars I finished it, but…
Reviewed in Australia on 22 August 2021

Ok story overall but not sure about the ‘believability’ factor on a few levels. I suspect the author is trying to buck the stereotypical MC, and there are those that are merely people for whom bikes are a common interest, however MCs such as depicted in this story are stereoptyped for a reason. This is not to say they are all evil pigs, but they do walk on the wrong side of the law. It comes with the territory and a mentality that is often not so benign, as much as they expect and engender loyalty and heirarchical respect that is earned.

That and the element of camaraderie is there, however the grittiness and ‘criminal’ element I would expect is more implied than explicit. There are a few ‘territorial’ murders, but with the extent of their legit enterprises, which include Empire nightclub, construction and mechanics, I get no real sense of what they’re ‘protecting’.

Empire seems pretty clean across the board, not what u would suspect when owned by an MC. Aside from the apprehended truck there is virtually no discussion of drugs other than Crow being off his face. Not even a joint/blunt in sight. Considering weed is pretty much a norm in society, even where it’s illegal, and it seems endemic to MCs that deal in crime, it’s hard to believe not one member lit up. Aside from what’s implied by the truck, creating and using an illegal space in a wholly legal building is the only example of any other nefarious activities that I remember. The whole clubhouses set up, respect for their women/club whores, even paying for an education for some, lovely. Somewhat unlikely but for the story that works fine for me.

Repo is a lovely guy, but another issue I have is with the reasoning of Repo’s ‘don’t touch me’ syndrome. It has been well established the mind doesn’t work that way and this ‘blackout’ scenario isn’t plausible. My own life story, many decades long, and that of countless people I’ve met and even come to know intimately, not to mention the many documentaries I’ve watched and books I’ve read, validates that. You just don’t forget horrendous abuse, even if u develop DID to cope. But even if the scenario were plausible, at the most basic level, the 3 most driving forces of primates are, first, food, second, touch/comfort, and third, reproduction. The last two can be somewhat interchanged/intertwined.

I’m disappointed that Repo didn’t get over his problem with Kennedy. I get that it’s a vehicle to demonstrate gratitude, love and understanding of a damaged person making a compromise. I also think it’s particularly unrealistic on Kennedy’s side and the time would come when she’s sick of needing to hold back, no matter how much she loves Repo. Given the story as it is, I’d be satisfied if there was indication Repo, however slowly, was becoming more and more comfortable with Kennedy’s touch and I was able to conclude that over time there would be no physical distance between them, even if it remained with everyone else. But as the story stands the touch issue remained essentially static.

Another issue, if the security at the casino was so ‘capable’, how did Crow and his cronies manage to go as far as dressing up as casino personnel and taking their place on the casino floor? Did they conveniently steal the uniforms? Did they have to overpower anyone to get them? None of the real security noticed something was off? And Crow, we must presume, paid off the dealer so Pipe could take his place? Apparently the dealer was perfectly happy to risk the ire of this whole network of interwined MCs and their members. Really? Can’t convince me he didn’t know just who he was working for. And what actually happened to him?

Leaving all that aside…the editing. Misplaced commas, or lack of. I’m convinced that most editors involved with self publishing don’t actually read the scripts and just run spell check and grammar check programs. Often the words are correctly spelled but wrong in context and such programs don’t pick up glaring inconsistencies.

For example, when daddy disappeared and Crow turned up on the doorstep, Brooklyn was 14 yo (Page 4). But on Page 218 she was 13 yo so after Kennedy had stripped for a year was Brooklyn 14 or 15 yo? Then Kennedy signs the contract for another 5 years as Crow’s property, at which end time Brooklyn is supposed to be 18 yo and the trust is released. How did Crow even know about that? But at that time, going with the original Brooklyn being a 14 yo when Crow first came to the door, it would only be 3 years till Brooklyn turns 18.

Along the way Kennedy’s hell (in which I’d somehow find a way of getting both myself and my sister the fcuk outa there, come hell or highwater) has been over the last few months (Page 133), which obviously should’ve been written as years. Or, the last 3 yrs (Page 142), even though she stripped for a year before signing a 5 year contract of which she has only 6 months left. Or, five years (Page 170), while saying she has 6 months of a 5 year contract left. But in actual fact it has been 5 1/2 years if there’s 6 months left on the contract. (One year of stripping plus 4 1/2 years of the contract.) Dunno about the US, but here in Oz, as fraught with failure as our DV response can be, if anyone presented to Emergency how and as many times as Kennedy must have, there’d be some serious questions asked by authorities and alternatives provided. This is not worked around in any way in the story.

Then there’s the amount of Red Riots outside the bar in Phoenix.
On Page 61 there are eight bikes lined up.
On Page 71 there are twenty Red Riots outside.
On Page 75 ten RR guys have shown up.
On Page 75 (2) there are eight RR guys, including the president.
Seriously?

Red Riot rides into another club’s territory, which they’ve tried to muscle in on, with only 8 members, and this is after two of their men have already been killed and the truckful of drugs they were carrying have obviously been appropriated by the Brothers By Blood. We’re told BBB MC was bigger, better, and scarier than RR but we have no real indication of the membership of any of the MCs except maybe the 20 bedrooms at the BBB clubhouse and the size of the Exile Eight compound, which is also not clearly defined. And there’s no mention of what happened to the bodies of Red Riots murdered within BBB territory.

Another glaring error, on Page 286 (2), which is written in Kennedy’s POV, during her inner dialogue she says, “What about Repo and Kennedy? What if they couldn’t find me in time?” Um, that should be Repo and Brooklyn.

So what happened to Myth’s big fight? Maybe it’ll happen in his and Laken’s story though the blurb makes no mention of it. Guess I’ll never find out because, while I finished this book and found it reasonably enjoyable, I won’t be reading further. Sorry, but I don’t think it’s worth my time or money.

I’ve given 3* because the basic plot line and writing itself is fine, and I did finish the book. I couldn’t give more because the mistakes kept drawing me out of the story and once I finished, all the plot holes, inconsistencies and hanging questions left me very dissatisfied.

The author has talent but better research would deliver a better quality story. Still, her works seem to satisfy a lot of people so maybe that’s enough for her.

Note* Repossess means take back property when the buyer fails to pay for it. Repo did not repossess Kennedy.

Reviewed in Australia on 20 November 2018
I enjoy a good MC romance and Kennedy is up there with the best! There is enough grit and violence to make it realistic, yet the story and romance took me to my happy place. The story has surprises and turns that kept me interested.

Kennedy is a young girl trapped with nowhere to run. Her life is dark and painful yet her options are limited at best. Her priority is to protect her sister. Repo is a good guy biker with a tortured past. I liked how these two grow into each other. They don't try to change one another, they mould and fit into their life together.

Kennedy is the first book in the Phoenix Club Girl Diaries. I enjoyed the sub characters that had obviously come from a previous series by the same author, however, I didn't feel not reading those books affected my enjoyment of Kennedy. I look forward to future releases in the series, especially Little Sister Brooklyn.

I like the different types of MCs brought to life in this series. The good ones do well, the bad ones don't. That's what fantasy is all about though! Kennedy and Repo work really well together. I also really like that they don't "fix" each other, they just learn how to work with each other to stand stronger.

This is a med to slow burn MC (motorcycle club) romance. Kennedy needs a knight in shining leather and Repo and the brothers of blood are happy to oblige!
It is a great story that’s been well written and touches on issues like mental health and PTSD in a way that addresses rather than dismisses them.
Be wary of triggers and check any warnings before reading.
