Hostage (Predators MC Book 3)

Not Begley's best. Definitely my least favorite Predators book. But I didn't hate it either. There were some funny moments. Penni is the opposite of her brother, Shade, in that she lets her hot temper reign free.

I also learned something about Penni I didn't know before and it added some interest to the storyline. But I mainly liked the scenes that featured The Last Riders.

I'm glad Begley is feeling better and writing again. Bring on Train and Killyama!

Long awaited Jackel and Penni's story definitely does not disappoint! Read it in one day and couldn't put it down. Favorite characters from other of Jamie's books make an appearance. Romance, humor and suspense. It has it all. I'm glad the author is feeling better, her stories were very much missed. Other than Shadow, I think this was the best yet. Who will be next? Please Jamie don't keep your fans waiting too long and give us a teaser on who will be next. Readers should also check out her daughter's books! Very talented family. ?????

Penni and Jackal are opposites in every way... But they say opposites attract.... I laughed and I cried along with them in this book... It was awesome seeing our regular favourites in this book... I certainly fell more in love with Shade in this book... Worth the read as always.... My only concern was the spelling mistakes, one or two are fine but I think I got up to 5 or 6 and that's disappointing

My favorite part of this book was finding out how similar Penni is to Shade and how much she relied on Shade for comfort growing up. Jackal is very patient with Penni. Penni goes through some self discovery and she realizes a lot about herself and her life. There's some betrayal which was sad that she has to see it.

I have enjoyed every story by this author and had long awaited Penni and Jackals story . It certainly did not disappoint. I wasn't sure before this book how I felt about Jackal. I now know I absolutely love him! Their story is funny, sweet, sad , a little a nasty and a lot hot ! So good I'm ready to re-read and I just finished . Thank you Jamie Begley !!

I have been waiting for their story and Jamie did not disappoint. They were the perfect couple - well perfect for each other. All my favorites made an appearance and I can't wait for the next story. If you haven't read Jamie's books you are missing out!!

Fantastic story.
Loved seeing Jackal and Penni's relationship develop
I wanted more as usual lol
Definitely a must read as you get to see all your faves again and see how they are all going too
?????

Again Jamie Begley did it. The book was amazing so Jackal is another favorite of mine. I love all the characters. I do have some questions that I know Jamie will answer. Amazing writer. A must read 5 stars.

I have been wanting this book since Penny and Jackal were introduced. I loved it. I was hooked from page 1. This is now my 2nd favorite book by this author. Will definitely he rereading this one many times!

Another book to love, to keep going back to reread over and over. Enjoyed seeing characters from other books too. It is like a community of biker clubs has been established, each with their own quirks. I will purchase anything from Jamie Begley. Amazing storeteller. Now waiting for our next couple...Train and Killyama. Jamie, you are AMAZING

I cannot get enough of Jamie Begley's fantastic MC series. She pulls so many clubs together in her woven words. I loved Jackal's persistence in his pursuit of Penni and almost bit my tongue when he backs off! So glad it turns out right! Each romance manages to be different and yet part of the whole. It was excellent!

Penni and Jackal, the long awaited enemies to lovers book we have been waiting for and wow. I did not expect Jackal to want Penni so fiercely, I mean come on he's Jackal, the man who doesn't care about anything expect his club. However, it seems our Jackal had major feelings for Penni and we get to see what he truly wanted from her. Penni on the other hated him with everything she had, well at least she tried to, but even Penni was no match for Jackal.

Possible Spoilers:

Now for the not so cool part, I felt the situation between Penni, Jackal and Raci was handled a little too easy. I'm not saying Penni forgave him easily but I wanted him to suffer a little bit more, I love a good grovel. Raci, however, should have gotten a major smack down from Penni, and I was disappointed when it didn't occur.

Poor Ginny, she has some major bad luck and unfortunately this time the situation was too much for her.

Whilst I enjoyed reading Hostage I was also so disappointed with the story because the real Penni and Jackal characters I fell in love with since the days of reading; Tainted, Shade’s Fall, King, Riot and Stand Off were nowhere to be found.

I loved Jackal before and did fall more in love with him in Hostage, but I felt like I was in love with two different characters and the same went for Penni. Jackal came across as sweet and attentive with Penni and I absolutely loved seeing that, but the snarky and arrogant biker who kept me glued to my Kindle whenever he butted heads with Penni had taken a leave of absence.

Penni in this was badass, funny, strong, vocal, fragile, and beautiful, but still she was not completely the same Penni I loved. She came across as crazy with her erratic behavior and strange throwing in the air antics, along with her crush on Train which I didn’t feel was executed enough to encompass her feelings and it was used against her. Penni’s clash with Killyama and crew was something I thought I would never see, and didn’t like it as I always foresaw them as friends. Also the scenes with the swans and the metaphor of swans finding their soulmates wasn’t executed enough for me to aww over.

The appearances from so many characters in Hostage did not make it feel like a Predator book at all but more like a Last Rider. What happened to the presence of the Predators? I thought we would get some drama from Juliet or Crush but nothing. My highlight actually came from Mags who was on form, her lines had me in stitches I think she really loved being in the LR clubhouse and all the attention she got.

What I hated about this book besides Penni and Jackal being awol, was the god damn grammatical errors that had me trying to make sense of what was being said, and the inconsistency of Ginny's name spelt as Genny did my head in. Raci I hate this club woman how dumb can she get or should I blame the repetitive storylines and how the club women get away with murder?! I do blame so many for the hurt Penni suffered and that includes Shade, Jackal, Ice and Viper. Where was the protective big brother Shade? Yep he was also a big letdown and it was good to see where his priorities lay, after his baby sister helped him out with Lily.

I will say Penni and Jackal were still an explosive duo and their chemistry, banter and sexual tension was off the charts, so it made no sense why only a few sex scenes were included.

I also thought Jamie would add past interactions between Jackal and Penni to please fans but that was another missed opportunity.

The ending yeah I really wish Penni made Jackal grovel his ass off to get her back! She just came across as desperate and her speech was like she didn’t care how many women he slept with, really?! Jackal should have been man enough to let her know what his plans were, but again these men learn nothing in hurting the women they supposedly love. The epilogue was not enough after the storyline we were given and just ended abruptly.

The Enforcer’s Oath: Protect the club at all costs.

So Jamie Begley is back. That's right people. They say that sometimes the wait is worth it, this is one of those times.

THE WAIT IS OVER

We have all seen Penni almost grow up. From attending college with Lily and then becoming the tour manger for Mouth2Mouth. And people lets not forget when Jackal kidnapped her.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T

OH YES YES SHE DID

Jackal made an enemy out of Penni when he kidnapped her years ago. He let her go, never imagining she would take a piece of his soul with her.

Okay I'm going to say that I think Penni is my hero. She is the sassy, take no crap, in your face, oh no you didn't do that kind of girl.. UMMM HELLO SHE'S SHADES SISTER!

DO YOU GET IT NOW

Ok so of course Jackal is still chasing Penni. I mean she's is old lady, except Penni just needs to get o board with it. And we all know that isn't going to happen unless hell freezes over, or she gets herself in a pickle and he has to go in and save her!

Now protecting Penni against a former brother will force him to place the club against her once again.

She may be the Hostage, but he’s the one held captive by the lust she refuses to admit binds them together.

I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE WHEN YOU WALKED IN

So here is the thing with Penni she's in love. Yes she is, except it's not with who she is suppose to be in love with. She is almost convinced that once that man finally looks at her, he'll see he's her soul mate!! OH YOU POOR THING!

To end the battle, he’s going to have to reclaim the piece of soul she stole from him or claim a part of her soul as prisoner.

When a predator takes you hostage, you’re his forever.

In this story you got everything you thought you were getting and more. It was a log story that was just that. Learning to love, being in love, surviving love, embracing love and especially falling in love.

What Jackal doesn't expect is that once she falls in love she isn't letting go. She falls in love with her whole soul. She fights for what she wants and in the end that is Jackal.

One thing is for sure she will go to the end of the earth for her love, she will do anything for her love, even taking him hostage!

Jamie Begley is back, and boy was she ever missed. Did i mention that in this book we got to see all the Last Riders, especially my boy Shade. Yes people he's back, he's there and he is still hot to trot!

The strong characters which Jamie Begley has created thru her novels have made us love each and every one of them. We kept asking for Penni and Jackal's story and we got a little teaser which kept her fans waiting for this story to be told. I cannot speak for others, but I loved this book.

Penni we were introduced to this crazy loving women in the Last Riders series as being Shade's little sister which was asked to become Lilly's roommate in college. We saw how she was a very loyal friend and was a spitfire to fight for causes that are close to her heart. What she did not realize, the man she was looking for will be a "Predator" just like her brother.......but will she be able to get out of the trouble she finds herself in by being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

We became introduced to Jackal when the Predators came in contact with Lilly at the fairgrounds then later when he took Penni hostage so they could use her as an exchange for one of their members being held by the Last Riders. Little did he know this spitfire of a women was going to take something from him in the end......his heart. First he has to get her out of the trouble which she seems to have gotten herself into with a rival MC club.

You will have to read to see how Penni creates some of the problems she ends up in and how Jackal cannot seem to let her go thru them alone. Will these two make it to the end or will they each go their separate ways......Just remember "What a Predator takes, they don't give back..........." You will laugh, cry and love this new book "HOSTAGE" by Jamie Begley.

I've been waiting to read about how Jackal finally gets his girl ... I'm thrilled to say that Ms. Begley didn't disappoint!!!!
If you've been reading her books, you know that she isn't predictable. The ride she takes you on is worth your time ... don't miss out!!!

I really enjoyed Hostage; I literally could not put this book down. It was full of action, it was a great story and the characters feel like family.

I would have maybe liked to have seen Jackal be a little more alpha but on the flip side, he had layers, that I would never have imagined from what we've glimpsed of him before and so in retrospect, it meant this book was way more of a surprise than I could have imagined. I loved Penni; she was great and her scenes with the biker bi**es were a real highlight.

I look forward to the audio of this book to be released as I've often found that these stories seem to get better and better after a re-read or listening on audio.

I couldn't recommend this series strongly enough.
