Holy crikey

This series is way grittier than the predecessors, and I like it. I've loved those series but this one? Yeah, I'm loving it. The first book had a lot more of the foundation of this club, which left more room for the story. Sig's backstory was rough, but good lord Red? Yeah, Red just took it to a whole new level. What she endured in her past was intense. However, it was her resilience that really shown through.

The surprise of previous characters was a nice bonus, especially getting to see a dream fulfilled for them. I'm really liking the direction this author is taking this series because it feels different and fresh from my previous favorites of hers. This is definitely a 1% club, so take heed to the warnings.

This is my least favourite Jeanne St James books. I didn’t like Sig and felt no connection between the characters. I think the dark subject covered was glossed over too quickly. Being and a cult and having your baby adopted would have been very traumatic, and needed more in depth story telling, to realistically get over that trauma.

Blood & Bones: Sig
Blood Fury MC, Book 2
By: Jeanne St. James
Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock, Ava Lucas

Every book Jeanne St James writes is special. There is always an incredible bond between the hero and the heroine, and it's impossible not to root for them. This book in particular is has won my heart. Not the typical story, but this series is a little different as the Blood Fury comes back to life. Sig is fascinating to me. The half brother of Trip, he has been made vice prez, and has no intention of staying around. He just wants what is his from his father and to move on. That is until he picks up Red. Red is a mess. Pregnant, naked, undernourished, she is need of care, and Sig takes her home to give her everything she needs. But what is truly amazing is this tough, broken man and damaged, closed up woman truly see each other. This is dark and gritty with a slow burn romance just waiting to explode. Plus, I absolutely love the story line. There are some crazy people out there and to get to see it through these eyes is exciting. It's thrilling to watch the MC begin to gel and fun to get to know some of the new characters. It makes me want to listen to more!

Nothing could have made this story better except the narration, and it just brings the story to a whole new level. Aaron Shedlock is Sig, and he gets him. Broken and broody, compassionate and loving, dark and light, he reaches into Sig and brings him everything. Ava Lucas has a tough one, with the closed up Red. She is uses her talent going from the quiet, aloof feel and lets us feel her change and warm up as time goes on. It's a fabulous team and together made this one of my top listens this year.

I love it when two broken people find each other and start to heal deep wounds. This is the story of Sig and Red and I highly recommend reading it. It's full of sadness and hope.

MC books should have the following: hot alpha men, brooding heroes who are misunderstood, past wrongs that have led the characters down a path that they feel is destined to happen, fowl language and loads and loads of raunchy sex......this book has all of those plus so much more. From the moment Sig finds Red his live is altered. He has always lived for himself and never thought he would ever get out from his behind his past. With each and every turn of the page the reader feels his hurt and understands his pain. The connection between Red and Sig leaps off the pages. I can honestly say that Jeanne St. James has gone above and beyond with every aspect of this book making it into not only a MC tale but also a tale about love, hope and redemption. 5 stars are not enough!!

Heavy cw: sexual assault, rape, abuse, kidnapping, violence
This book was a vast improvement on the last. It's amazing what a difference a verbal hero does for your reading experience. I was impressed by the intensity of some of the subject matter in this as well.

Second in the Blood Fury series. I have to say I love Sig. he so far is my favorite. There is just something about him. Yes he is a bad guy. But he has a heart when it comes to Autumn. Sig has a need and he gets that from someone you would not expect. One day he is on the way home he runs into Autumn. Autumn has escaped from the mountain. She is pregnant and afraid. Autumn was quite the character. She is strong but at the same time is going through a lot that she doesn't understand. She doesn't see things as she should. Jeanne did an amazing job of writing her character. You feel everything that she feels. When Sig goes to the mountain and see where she was being held you can easily feel exactly what she went through. That is how well Jeanne tells a story. I loved the chemistry between Sig and Autumn. It is strong, unique and different. But I absolutely loved these two together. I have read a lot of Jeanne's books and this one is my favorite. There was just something very unique about this storyline that I fell in love with. Highly recommend reading this one.

I was looking forward to Sig’s story. There’s a lot of disturbing topics in here which I didn’t know going in. I don’t know if I entirely loved the ending.
