Running Wild

Havoc, Book 1

By: SE Jakes

Narrated by: Dorian Bane

Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins

Publisher's summary

Sean Rush is an adrenaline junkie. That's why he was in the Army, why he steals and races classic muscle cars, and why he can't stay away from bad boy Ryker, a Havoc Motorcycle Club lieutenant. Fortunately, Ryker can't seem to stay away from Sean - he's spent the last eight months breaking into Sean's apartment and stealing into his bed, leaving Sean physically satisfied but increasingly restless.

Sean has always avoided relationships. He likes to come and go without being controlled. And Ryker is possibly the most controlling man he's ever known. Still, he finds that he wants more from Ryker than their silent nighttime encounters.

Then one of Sean's thefts goes bad, and Ryker's protective instincts kick into overdrive. He takes Sean to the Havoc compound, determined to keep him safe. But Sean's past threatens the safety of Havoc - and everything Ryker holds dear. Worse, Ryker's hiding secrets of his own. Soon it's obvious that the adrenaline rush can't keep them together anymore. But maybe love can.

An mm romance but…..

It could be read from a“”strong independent female” POV easily. Too many silly fights and repetitive dialogue. Also it’s like the author did her research on cars and didn’t want to waste a single bit of detail when describing them. Too many details overpowering my thoughts . I had to take breaks to regroup and finish. The authors build up to Rush and Rykers interaction was also long winded as heck. And “god damn” is literally… every other word. For reference just listen to the sample for book two. It’s said like six time in 4mins. The story is good but it’s not gut wrenching good. It’s also not a “steamy tale” if you’re looking for something like that. The heated scene were too detailed and still missed the mark somehow.

Great Story

I wasn't sure when I picked this AB if I would like it and was very pleasantly surprised!

Very Hot couple!!

I love this story and couple!! Can't wait to hear the next one! 🔥 HOT

Jakes is now an automatic download for me.

A biker m/m romance?? Crazy but Jakes makes it work. Her characters are likeable and the story is different & interesting. I am comfortable in the worlds she creates and disappointed when the story is over. I will listen to this one & all of her audible books again.

I love, love, love this story!

Ryker and Rush's story was a wild one. The chemistry between these two was on point all the way. The suspense was such a thrill. And the plot was exciting. Oh, and the narration did SE Jakes' novel justice. I so highly recommend their story. ENJOY!

what a ride

The main characters were amazing with such hot chemistry. There is a love story in here too and plenty of hot sexy steamy action. The story was a wild ride from beginning to end. I couldn't put it down.
The narration was superb- very distinct voices for each character.
A must read/ listen. Highly recommend.

So I gave this book a shot because it's in the Romance package and I was really intrigued. The overall story was very enjoyable, I like the characters and their development and there were no plot holes. (Bonus!) The writing of the story sounded well done.

As for the voice of the story, I loved the interpretation of Rush's voice. He sounded sweet and adorable and felt real. I genuinely liked his voice even if he isn't a Sebastian York. Ryker's voice interpretation on the other hand made me think of Batman and I'm sorry, I just couldn't get behind it, it was a bit of a turn off. I still listened through to the end, but its a hard no for me on the batman voice.

Perfect pairing - Great story and Narrator!

SE Jakes has done it AGAIN. This series may even top/tie with the Hell or High Water series for me. Ryker is absolutely on par with Prophet for hot, bad a**, awesomeness… but maybe I should compare him to Mal… or Cillian… he is so bad ass that he always knows what to say and when to say it and what he does is ALMOST always right. Almost. Ryker is a S** GOD and yet so amazingly sweet that you just want to take him home with you. He. Sends. Flowers. (Insert swoon)

Sean is another great character. He is funny, and caring, and a little crazy and vulnerable, and tough… just like a good SE Jakes character should be. He is a great friend, a neurotic lover, an adrenaline junkie and an ex-soldier who suffers from PTSD. He also is Bad. A**. He has ninja car skills and can steal a car with one hand tied behind his back. His relationship with Ryker is sweet and funny and very, very hot, and sometimes frustrating.

The story is completely amazing. It grabbed me, threw me on the back of the bike and told me to hang on! There was literally never a slow moment or place I felt I wanted (or even could) skim. It was all vital, wonderful and riveting.

The love story is so completely satisfying and … hot. Enough said.

Jakes has added some vaguely paranormal stuff to this story that added a distinct charm and mystique to Havoc and its compound. I hope for future stories from Casey, maybe Sweet, maybe Noah – you never know right?

I totally recommend this book (and all SE Jakes books) and give this book 6 out of 5 hearts – it was that good. Really.

Audio
Dorian Bane does an AMAZING job with this! He really hits the mark for gruff and gritty MC member! He also really conveys Sean in just the right way, too! He's not the best when it comes to the non-dialog parts, but he very aptly conveys the emotions in a scene. I found this highly entertaining and a great way to enjoy this wonderful story!

Overall 5 of 5 stars

Love this book can't wait for the next one

If you could sum up Running Wild in three words, what would they be?

HOT , SEXEY , HOT

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the love story and the action in the book also the characters and there back stories where great and I love m/m romance

Which character – as performed by Dorian Bane – was your favorite?

Both the main character where great and I love his voice

One wild ride!

Definitely one of the hotter books and more so bc of the narrator's voice. The push and pull between Ryker and Shawn was a little angsty, a lot caused by outside forces, but they finally figured it out.
