Lethal: A gritty, super hot love story
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Spice: 🔥🔥🔥🔥Lethal was my first MC themed read when I entered the world of dark and spicy romance. I figured it would have a Sons of Anarchy feel with oversexed tattooed men, bikes, guns and tons of black leather. ⛓Did Lethal have these things? Yep! 🥵 But it had 𝒔𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆.Jason, or Blade to most, is not only the president of the Disciples, the most treacherous motorcycle club in California, but a real alpha-hole of a tyrant. He’s ill-tempered, violent and as dangerous as they come. Blade’s a ladies’ man, but only until they've served their purpose. He’s not meant for commitment, except to his brothers of the MC.That is until Eve stumbles into his life. Or rather, he obtains her in a vile arrangement and years later, this fiery female becomes much more than just an acquisition. Eve is a gorgeous young woman with captivating eyes of sapphire blue, thrown into the depravity of a harsh world of criminals, sex, drinking and drugs.Even living in this unforgiving lifestyle among savages, Eve begins to see something endearing within the man she once feared.Blade is vulgar and immoral. Eve is feisty and shrewd. He’s overly controlling and the last thing she will ever do is submit to this despicable biker. Neither of them plans to change who they have always been, provoking the stubborn duo to constantly clash. But what they don’t expect is the undeniable chemistry and lustful attraction budding between them.Lethal is full of vibrant characters, brilliant dialogue and the intriguing lifestyle of outlaw riders. Blade and Eve’s story is overflowing with raw passion that does not quit. 🔥 As gritty as Lethal is, it’s a true love story. But in order to find the peace and happiness they genuinely deserve, these two have to navigate their minefield of differences.This story is scorching hot, romantic and unforgettable. I recommend this book often and will continue to do so! 🖤🎧: I read Lethal first, and then also picked up the audiobook which is narrated by @duran.troy and @devongrace.xo, who did a tremendous job. ❤️🔥

Blade / Jason & Eve
Good story of how a Queen gets her King. She determined and fierce! Can’t wait to meet the other guys in the MC.

Thoroughly enjoyed
Like most of you, I read a lot. And like a lot have mentioned, I was in an MC mood.This is the first time I have read her. What I cannot understand are the poor ratings because of the subject or character preferences of this book. If you do indeed read a lot and have read any kind of MC book, the characters were pretty typical. The alpha guys are going to be "lethal", uncaring, demanding, and even unkind. At least at first. That's what these kinds of books are all about. And that is what most of us are attracted to in this sub-genre. The resolution of the bad guy. So, poor ratings on that premise are discounted for me.As for the actual book - I'm impressed with Cassandra Robbins. We all obviously like this genre. (you wouldn't be here otherwise) And if you have read anything at all, you know there are a lot of marginal writers here. We are not reading classics. But Ms. Robbins is well above average. Her writing style, grammar, good editing, and maturity in writing are all good. THAT, in my opinion, is what a rating is for. We all have our triggers and maybe don't like a particular scene in a book. That's fine. But rating the author based on a personal preference is not a fair appraisal. Now, she is not a John Steinbeck or even Stephen King, but I'm pretty sure that's not her mission in life. But this entertaining story was well written. The part I liked the most (as far as writing) was that she did not resolve the angst in the last two paragraphs. That is probably my biggest disappointment in a book. She presented the resolution(s) far enough back that you got to enjoy the ending rather than feel like it was a quick chop job and done.If I had only one issue I did not like (and again, this is simply a preference - it has nothing to do with the rating of this book) was the cover. So many mentioned how lickable the cover is. Can't argue there. But it was kind of cliche to me. SO many books are covered with gorgeous pictures to sell the book and then the inside is marginal, or less than marginal. So, I actually have a tendency to steer clear of these kinds of covers. It makes me think the author needs something to make the sale and that's all you are going to get. Most of the really good romance, erotica, or any other mainstream books that sit in my top 10 have covers that are not cliche at all. But again, that's just a personal preference.I will be reading a lot more of Cassandra Robbins. Thank you for the entertainment!

Lethal
Genre: Biker MC RomanceBook Length: NovelPOV: Alternating DualSetting: Los AngelesHero: Jason “Blade” McCormick is a former Navy SEAL and President of the Disciples MC, one of the largest and most dangerous MCs on the West Coast. Blade is around 30 and is extremely handsome with tattoos, blonde hair and green eyes.Heroine: Eve Smith is a young girl working in a traveling carnival with her father and brother. She’s had a terrible upbringing and learned to be strong and resilient at a very young age. She is taken by Blade as payment for debts owed to him from her loser brother. Eve is 18 and is tall and beautiful with long blonde hair and blue eyes.Endearment: Angel and BabySpice Level: MediumFrequency of Spice: MediumAngst Level: MediumStandalone/Duet/Series: Standalone, but connected to a character series.Cliffhanger: NoEpilogue: YesMy Review: This is my first time reading anything by this author and I was blown away. I loved this story and the characters so much. It was gritty, a little dark, emotional, sexy and super exciting. Blade is a strong MC President that is dealing with so much drama; including a growing brotherhood, a dangerous drug situation, outsmarting the Feds, rival gangs and of course falling in love with a beautiful and sassy young woman. I loved how Blade tried to fight his feelings but Eve was not to be ignored and fought just as hard for him to love her. They were explosive together and so much fun to read. I’m excited to dive deeper into this series and see how all the other hot bikers find their soulmates.

Great read!
I stumbled across this book never having read Cassandra Robbins before. I’m so happy I did. Blade is one of my all time favourite MC books. I love these characters. Blade is unapologetic in all his alpha goodness. Eve’s home life has greatly shaped her and I appreciated that she was strong yet underneath that was a vulnerable young girl that just wanted to be loved. Blade saw that and it made for an epically beautiful love story with all the grittiness of MC life that we love. Plus it didn’t hurt that the chemistry between these two was 🔥.I ran off and read the rest of the series after this and was not disappointed. C. Robbins has become one of my go to authors!

Mais ou menos
Não foi o melhor livro de MC que já li mas também não foi o pior, Blade parece um cara bipolar que uma hora ama mais que tudo e na outra não ama o suficiente e Evie era uma personagem forte que não levava nada de ninguém e que de repente fecha os olhos para as coisas que o Blade faz e só quer ser amada por ele mesmo ele virando as costas pra ela, esses detalhes deixaram o livro a desejar.

all over the place
This story had so much potential, but it was lacking in the end. Reading it, it felt like it was all over the place, the story but also the characters. The beginning was good, but after that I lost interest.

Addictive
Oh my... this book is truly addictive! I could not put it down, sadly sometimes I had to. This is one of those books where you could happily just keep reading and reading about these characters. I didn't want their story to end and now that I've reached the end.... I'm so ready for book two!! This is the first book I've read by Cassandra and she is now a favourite. I will read her other books as well. I loved the characters- and I loved the chemistry and the heat between Eve and Blade. Oh my! I love seeing the different sides to Blade when he became Jason. And I love reading from their point of views and seeing Blade discover himself to be maybe not as much of a bad guy as he thought. Eve is a strong character and it's hard not to love her. I loved their story and I know you will too! I think this book with have me hooked on MC books from now on.

Well, I enjoyed this one. I’m kind of embarrassed to admit it, as the heroine was 18 and the older hero was a douche. But it was kinda hot and satisfying.
