BLP REVIEW ~ Rebecca

Now I know you’re all going to roll your eyes at me because as usual I’ve got to say that this genre can be a minefield –  the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright dreadful all competing in a huge market with a seamlessly endless appetite for MC books, quantity over quality. Amidst this sea of mediocrity Autumn Jones Lake has given us a series that is set in an MC but where the emphasis is on the relationships, the camaraderie and the romance, not so much the violence and grit of a one percenters world, yes it could be called soft but for me it has a freshness that stands out, characters that engage and  leave you wanting more and, with this latest offering, the development of Ms Lake as a writer and the growth shown is beautiful to watch.

‘Tattered on my Sleeve’ is the fourth book in the Lost Kings MC Series and the much anticipated story of Wrath and Trinity. It could have been a disaster as a few lately have been when you are revisiting events and timelines already seen in previous books with a different couple, however, not only is the timeline seamless with no confusion but the telling of the events from Wrath and Trinity’s point of view is fascinating and doesn’t feel like a regurgitation of the other books.

Wrath and Trinity have a chequered history, ‘Tattered’ explores their relationship from the very beginning through everything we know from the previous books and beyond. What I loved was how every feeling I had for them before was turned upside down and inside out, when you see both sides to events, when the feelings and  thought processes behind the actions are explained, it changes your perspective and sympathies. Going in I had expectations of totally being on Trinity’s side and Wrath being an asshole as men can be! By the end Wrath had been an asshole but I still adored him and understood his motivations, I especially liked the insights to his behaviour with Hope and their relationship. Wrath and Trinity have a path littered with misunderstanding and hurt yet still the connection is never totally broken, the feelings are there no matter the hurt they inflict on each other. ‘Tattered’ will give you the feels, it’s an emotional roller coaster with so many ups and downs you will be reeling, angry, sad, happy, crying, screaming, frustrated and horny, prepare for them all!

I’m not going to rehash the whole story and cast here, I’m not going to give spoilers, if you’ve taken the time to click the cover, read the blurb and are now reading reviews then you’re intrigued……………..so do it. One Click. Buy this book and take the journey that is Wrath and Trinity because it’s worth it, escape to the Lost Kings world and remember what romance and relationships, with all the pitfalls and problems, is and why we dream.
