ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 25, 2025

RIOT

I never expected to be fighting a war with my club, but there is no choice. We have to fix the things that are broken and to do that, lines will need to be crossed. No one sees me as a threat, but I have my ear to the ground, gathering anything that will help my brother and Nicky to dethrone our president.

The last thing I should be doing is fantasising about a woman, particularly one as off limits as Ivy. She’s too young and been through hell. If I were a good man, I’d leave her alone, but I’ve always been the villain and I can’t walk away from her, not even for my brother. Ivy is mine and I’m not giving her up.

IVY

Raising my daughter has been my only priority. I blocked out my trauma, buried my demons and focused on being a mother, but when my past comes back to haunt me, I find comfort from the one person I didn’t expect. Riot has never shown an interest in me like that until one reckless moment changes everything.

REVIEW: RIOT is the second instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult UNTAMED SONS MC: BIRMINGHAM erotic, MC romance series set in the author’s interconnected Untamed Sons MC. This is twenty-eight year old, Nathan aka Riot, and eighteen year old Ivy Fernsby’s story line. RIOT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Ivy is the younger sister of Maylie (Mace #1).

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ivy and Riot) RIOT focuses on the ongoing spiral of our story line heroine. Ivy Fernsby has been struggling with PTSD and nightmares in the wake of the abuse at the hands of her former boyfriend but is now under the protection of Untamed Sons MC: Birmingham Riot, the man who is will to give up his life for our story line heroine. As a new mother, Ivy is battling the demons that destroyed her world but her daughter’s well being and protection is paramount for our story line heroine but Ivy’s sisters Maylie, her ol’man Mace, and Riot are keeping secrets from our story line heroine, secrets that are causing more harm than good. As the demons from her past continue to haunt, Ivy struggles to move forward, even with the help of our story line hero.

The world building follows several paths including Mace and Maylie’s personal battles; Ivy’s struggle to let go of the past, a past in which Maylie, Mace and Riot have done our heroine no favors keeping the secrets that continue to control her life.; and the ongoing dilemma and embattled hierarchy at the Untamed Sons MC: Birmingham chapter.

The relationship between Ivy and Riot is one of protector and friends. Riot has declared himself guardian and protector of Ivy and her daughter Seren, a protector who is slowly falling in love with the woman who claims to be unworthy of love. The lone $ex scene is impassioned.

The secondary and supporting characters include the return of Mace and Maylie (Mace #1), Maylie and Ivy’s brother Toby; former school mate Jackson, several of Ivy’s friends, and club members Dash, Nicky, King and Blade.

RIOT is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, struggle and loss, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and edgy; the characters are broken and haunted; the romance is limited but the sexual chemistry is tight.
