Fat Louise (Biker Bitches) (Volume 2)

Wow! JAMIE did it again! Jane(Fat Louise) and Cade were dynamic! It wasn't instant love and there were lots of trials to get through. Ups and downs but I really like Fat Louise. This is definitely another hit for Jamie Begley. If you haven't read Jamie's books start at the beginning with Razors Ride and keep going. You will not be disappointed. She is one of my favorite authors and she puts out several books a year so it is great for her fan's! Really recommend her books.

Loved it! Storyline was well written, entertaining, action packed and so dang hot! I could not put down and at times was on the edge of my .A roller coaster bundle of emotions. Love these sexy badass bikers & their will to protect their women, club .Would recommend this to everyone to read.

Ms Jamie does it AGAIN! This latest book from the Biker Bitches series by Jamie Begley was simply amazing. Meet Jane, aka Fat Louise, she's selfless, always there for her family and friends regardless of her own wants and needs. She'll do anything for those she loves, even when some of those people in her life don't appreciate her. She puts her own life in danger to save her sister, a sister that has never treated her with an ounce of kindness. Cade is a nomad who never puts roots down anywhere, he's a loner and that's the way he's always wanted it, until he meets Jane. I loved him as a hero, he was strong and tough, all alpha male but not afraid to show he's also just human and will make mistakes. He more than made up for his mistakes though, you'll love this hero!! The backstory will leave you emotional, the main story between Cade and Jane will leave you breathless. It's another roller coaster ride of emotions, there is action, suspense, a few tears and a whole lot of hot loving with this one. Jamie excelled yet again with this book, you can't help but love Fat Louise, and all of her fellow Biker Bitches. I couldn't put this one down from start to finish... then once I was done, I started over again. If you've ever read a Jamie Begley book, you're going to love this latest one, and if you haven't what are you waiting for?! Looking forward to many more books about these characters!!

This book has excitement and sizzle. Cade and Jane(Fat Louise) are great together.This book takes you through a wide range of emotions.It is a man and woman coming together in bad circumstance and in the end her coming into herself.Fat Louise is definitely a favorite.Jamie Begley great job and I am hoping for more!

This book sucks.... I posted reviews along the way on Goodreads. I can not believed I wasted my time finishing this book. I'm not even sure this was written by Jamie Begley. Some of the things she came up with is just WOW.... I'm speechless and I don't even know where to start. I've never been to keen on the biker bitches anyways, from their ridiculous names to their white trash behavior. I'm just shocked Jamie even published this... this, garbage. I would not call it a book. It's like she has never written a book before, I would compare it to the movie Open Water! Yep, it sucks
Sorry so harsh Jamie, I loved The Last Riders & The VIP Room, even Sex Piston was good but this one? Sorry, can't find a good thing to say.... You have taken white trash biker bitch to a whole other level....
If you want a play by play with spoilers you can find my review on Goodreads!

This biker bitch book started off differently with the scene set in Mexico and then switching to Jamestown. Very little was known about Fat Louise’s character apart from her love for food (chuckle) being there to help her crew at a drop of a hat, and being protectively guarded by the Biker Bitch crew consisting of; Sex Piston, Killyama, T.A and Crazy Bitch. Fat Louise had a lot to live up to and in this book she really shined and stepped into her own shoes, proving her own self-worth and throwing her fingers up at those who doubted her position in the crew she rolled with, never to be underestimated again for her kindness and sweet loving nature because this chick was a bad ass biker bitch through and through. Fat Louise’s love and loyalty was tested time and time again by her dysfunctional family, leading her to make many sacrifices, heartache and danger to her own life as she solely took charge of rescuing her step-sister Bailey. There were parts that were hard to read as Bailey repeatedly went out of her way to belittle Fat Louise bringing her insecurities to the surface, her vindictiveness to block Fat Louise’s desires and throwing in her face how much their father loved her more, whilst Fat Louise covered her hurt and found strength and confidence to fight through the situations she faced to get them back home safely.

Cade was definitely a hot sexy nomad as his mission to save both girls from a drug cartel led him to question his sanity, delivering humorous moments and also showed a softer side to him as his feelings for Fat Louise surfaced. For me Cade’s actions with Bailey and the club whores led me to spew angry words with a strong need to hurt him physically, his redemption and declaration that Fat Louise was his woman came too late in the story for me. The story did not have enough connection and passion between Cade and Fat Louise leading to my first below five star rating for Jamie Begley, which was a real shame because I loved Fat Louise, her transformation and the heartache she endured left me teary. I’ve loved the biker bitches from day one and reading this cemented my love and adoration for Killyama, the woman just effortlessly rocked it with her take charge attitude and sassiness treating us with a glimpse of seeing The Last Rider men in action outside the bedroom! I can’t wait for Killyama’s story and pray she is paired with Train because they are perfect together!

Overall Rating: 4.25 Rockin' ★★★★

Every night my friends sleep, my love sleeps and I am alone! No one can help me, no one loves me, and I am a lost cause...Jane

This is the second book in Jamie Begley's Biker Bitches series. In this book we not only learn about the real Fat Louise but also meet her new love interest, Cade. But this is more than a MC romance. It is the story of a woman's struggle to find her self-worth in a world where she feels unloved and unwanted.

Jane `Fat Louise' has spent her entire life fading into the background. She is always taking the backseat to her family, her mother, her father, her step-mother and her half-sister. Anything that they need, she gives freely, selflessly without keeping anything. Her only family is her Biker Bitch sisters. When Jane is guilted into going into Mexico to rescue her sister, she does not hesitate even though she is scared and doesn't know how she will accomplish it. Her father has hired a freelance mercenary to get them both out with the priority on retrieving her sister.

Nothing had prepared Cade for the woman he is sent to rescue. While Jane appears fragile and weak, she is anything but! From the first meeting he is attracted and wants Jane. She is not the spoiled, little rich girl he expected. The more time he spends with her the more he respects and wants to get to know more about her. Will he be able to get them safely out of Mexico? Can he forget the time they spent together fighting to survive? Cade has always been a loner and never stayed in one place for long. Why does he find that he wants to stick around and stay close to Jane when he has never wanted that before? Read this book to find out.

Hero - Cade `Traveler' Reed 4.25 stars
Heroine - Jane `Fat Louise' Montgomery 4.25 stars
Steam: 4.25 stars
Plot: 4.25 stars
Cliffhanger: No

Would I recommend this book: Yes! This is a sexy love story that is filled with action and mystery. It also revisits characters from previous books while building Jane and Cade's story.

Would I recommend this author: Yes! Ms. Begley has yet to disappoint me with her literary efforts. Each book builds and expands the worlds that she has created. Her characters are real and storyline will keep you asking for more.

***Received an ARC of this book from the Author in exchange for an honest review***

Jane "Fat Louise", (what a name!) is not fat, she does eat a lot and frequently. She's usually the quiet one in this girl biker's group. She trusts her friends to defend her and keep her safe but when her half sister is in trouble in Mexico, she's determined to save her and bring her back home without endangering her girlfriends.

Cade Reed is a mercenary, when Fat Louise's dad pays him to rescue the two girls, he can't turn down the money. When he meets them, he can't seem to decide what to do with them and letting go of Jane is harder than he thinks. Life gets only more complicated when Cade decides to check out the MC life.

So I have learned to enjoy this world. This world were the heroes are not perfect. Not by a long haul. Sometimes it makes me so mad that I see red. Regardless, by the end I have forgiven these bastards and just like the heroine, they have my heart.
Cade made me furious at times. Man up dude! came to mind more than once but like I said in the end all was forgiven.
I loved Jane and I wished she didn't have to suffer so much pain in her life. Luckily, she has killer girlfriends. Killyama and Sex Piston especially. Thanks to Killyama we get some Last Riders cameos.
I wonder who's next in this series...

"Run, Jane, but when you get tired, I'll still be here. I'm not going anywhere."

4/5 Fangs

I really enjoyed this book...see I have loved all the last rider books but I really liked Sex Piston. Actually it was the first Jamie Begley book I ever read. I know it was out of order but at the time I didn't know that. Anyways, every one whining about it being short and that pieces were left out I just want to say first it was a novella. Secondly did you even think we would get a Fat Louise story when all this started. Be glad you got to know her this well. Plus knowing Jamie we will hear more about her and Cade in future books just like everyone was in this one at one point. So if you want to hang out with the girls and have a few Last Riders thrown in for good measure until the next book comes out than Fat Louise is just the book to hangout with for the afternoon

Without a doubt, Jamie Begley is a good writer. And because of how much I enjoyed reading Sex Piston (no matter how much the name made me cringe), I had high expectations for this one. Unfortunately, it missed the mark.
For the most part, I liked Jane aka Fat Louise. I really felt for her and how she has always been made to feel she is second best, and was excited to read about her journey.
The first half of the story was intriguing and kept me glued to my kindle. Loved how her girls had her back (especially Killyama, but she's such a kick-arse chick it didn't surprise me). I even really liked Cade , the hero, and was hopeful he was going to be like Stud (Sex Piston's man).

****Spoilers ahead****

After some misunderstandings, Cade and Jane finally get together. But she has to leave the next morning and accidentally leaves her phone behind. He tries calling her, can't get through so takes that as an excuse to have sex with another woman. Jane finds out and runs away. For the next two months, Cade sleeps with every willing woman around, but then when he finds out about the consequences of their night together, he decides only then that they should be together. I find it hilarious (and not in a funny way) when the hero blames the heroine for him sleeping around, and that's exactly what Cade did. Jane ran away so it's her fault. Yes, she tells him she no longer trusts him and doesn't want to be hurt that way again, and they sorted out their issues to get to the HEA. But I can't help but lose all respect for him when he acted like a cheating POS and was waiting for the next time he had a teenage drama meltdown and do it again.
I expect cheating men in the Last Riders series because I never really felt like any of those men were passionately possessive of their women (hence the cheating and sharing in EVERY single book!). But I expected more from this one so am giving this a disappointed 3 stars.

Three stars not because I disliked it but because The Last Riders Series I love more. Before reading this book I was sure that all book will be about bikers. And I was a little bit sad when 35-40% of it was about Fat Louise's spoiled sister.
I really hated that FL was like door mat; she done everything for her mother, father and sister; yeah I know they are hers family but c'mon!
Next think what was strange that Cade came to Jamestown and decided to become biker. I don't know for me it wasn't real. I needed something more there.

Thoroughly enjoyed Jane's story. It was worth the wait!

Loved Jane's calm countenance and how she could both think and act in dangerous situations. Kept her head and gave the bad-guys what they deserved! She turned out to be a true part of the 'Biker Bitch' team. Cade, for his part turned out to be a HOT capable guy and (yet) it was disappointing that he let his emotions be taken over by easy-pu$$y. His skankiness was explained however (very bad childhood). He did finally accept his feelings for Jane and let them 'stick' rather than deny them. Typical male. I did find him a man of good character and someone right for the biker life. To me he was a man looking for a permanent home and having never had it before, he just didn't recognize it, at first. Took awhile for those trees in front of his face to be 'seen'.

Jane turns out to be so beloved of her group. The Biker Bitches love her and guard her as the treasure she is. Jane didn't have enough confidence to know how special or needed she was in the group and that was sad. By book end; she knew her place and equal worth with each of the Biker Bitch gals. It was a rather evolutionary process she went through in this book. It was sad how her Father and Sister ended-up but how they went out was their own foolish doing.

Finally; the Biker Bitch gals were in true form and darned-if I just don't love each one of them. They are smart, snarky, brave, loyal and kick-a$$. Each is ready and willing to defend their 'sisters' and woe-be to anyone who even looks crossed-eyed at one of their own. They love one another, stick together, and don't back down to any threat. Special mention to Killyama who turned-out to be very much a commando-type warrior in how she stepped-up to get her Jane out of Mexico. Killyama is one tough, brazen, and commanding woman. It'll take one very special man to capture Killyama! Can't wait for her story. Crazy Bitch and Sex Piston are also stand-outs in their snarkiness and tough biker babe ways. This is no normal group of woman but a force to be feared. I love how the bikers both revere and stay clear of the Biker Bitch women.

This is a great addition to book one and fits in perfectly. It's not one bit cookie-cutter and is entirely a different woman and story. I look forward to book three and hope it comes this year (please!). I remember when book one (Sex Piston) came out; I was totally charmed with the Biker Bitch team and this book just fuels that feeling. They are unlike any other 'team' I've ever read. Jamie Begley has created quite a biker series and adding in the Biker Bitch women gives it something no one else has covered before. Makes me want to be a Biker Bitch.

Recommended. Thank you!

Review by Natasha Gentile

I am in love with Jamie Begley and her Last Riders series. I will read anything that she writes, and I have to say that when I get these books I am one very scared person, because with Jamie you never know what you're going to get and who is going to get it!

Fat Louise has gotten herself into a pickle. Actually not really Fat Louise, more like her sister Bailey. She thinks it was a good idea to go to Mexico with her husband. Little did she know that her brother- in- law, well he’s not that nice of a person!

She needed a hero; instead, she got Cade.

This book was action packed- I tried to read faster than my eyes could go!

You see Cade, well he’s been hired to go in and rescue both girls. Bring them out. Little did he know that one look at her and he would be toast. He wanted to save her and get his kicks on and then leave. That is what he’s know for. He has no ties to anyone and that is the only way he wants it.

He expected a biker girl who knew the rules; instead, he got Fat Louise.

Fat Louise has one problem, she has been so mentally bullied by her sister that she thinks she is just an after thought. She thinks no one really wants her, she thinks she is the ugly one of her friends and that is so far from the truth. Ready to let loose one night she goes out hoping to get someone drunk enough to sleep with her. Seriously seems like the roles are reversed. Little does she know that none other than Cade would be the one to take her on.

Now let me tell you how much I loathed Cade. I really did. He was the biggest ass out there. I can’t begin to tell you how I wanted to jump into the book and kick him so far up the wazoo. I didn’t think it would be possible for Jamie to actually redeem him, but well Jamie does what she does best, not only do you end up loving him, you end up rooting for him. This woman...

Now I know many of you get don’t like the cheating that goes on in these books, and I have to say I for one hate cheating. But it really isn’t cheating in their world, and when they finally get together, the men become whipped, but don't let on to any of these biker guys know you are on to them!

I was so excited to see many of her book series intertwine with each other. Now I’m ready for more.. You are going to give me more, right Jamie?

It was a different look from Jamie on the emotional level with family dynamics of mean girl-sister/step-mother/weak-father -made me feel for Jane/Fat Louise - I was in her corner the whole time - really wanted her to get her HEA and have someone to help her become strong - she was a special H; I did not like that after their special night - that Cade 'cheated' and went to other women for two months - he traveled all that way to be close to her then was not man enough to claim her - because she left her phone and could not talk to her the day after...WTF? - then suddenly - was committed -and decides to be loyal - as I believe he should have known she was special by then - and would be loyal to her - he did not deserve her period - I love Stud's view on loyal/faithful and I was so with Jane in holding Cade to that standard- even though Cade ends up with Stud's type of mentality; I really hate cheating or h/h that will f*** anyone else after they recognize the emotional attachment to each other - to me that is weak/immature behavior and a lot of authors believe that is angst when that is self-induced angst - true angst should be life events - like family/health/inner struggles - Lani Lynn Vale, Jordan Silver among other authors - adapt to this writing style and I love it and re-read their books all the time - with Jamie's style - I struggle with the sharing/f***ing around - but stay with her because she brings it home in the end - and I have become very attached to her stories and care about the H/H in each story - cannot wait for Shade's other part - just hope Jamie increases my faith in Shade and does not ruin him for me because I love Shade - he became a one-woman man - once he made up his mind that he would not wait any longer - him I could understand as his man-whore ways - but once decided to claim Lily - that was it - loved it! I want Lucky/Rider/Train's stories- and Predators, Killayama, TA and Crazy Bitch!! looking forward to what Jamie will do next.

Felt so sorry for fat Louise. Kept hoping she would stand up for her self. I hated cade. He so is not the guy for fat Louise. Hopefully the next book is better. Jamie Begley is still one of my favorite authors.

I bought this book with no questions ask....big mistake. I have all the last riders books....Loved them but this one will not be part of the series. What the hell happened here....I am calling u Jamie B to the plate on this one. I hope you do read your reviews and listen to your readers because man this book really fell flat in so many area's. Cade was not an alpha ....in any way....he was tragically ill written. And Jane was so unwritten that everyone around her stood out. I am glad this was not your first book because I would never have had the chance to read your other works that shine. And please don't have Train hook up with Killyamama...that would be a train wreck before it left the tracks. The only good thing about this book is the cover.

This book is wonderful! I absolutely love the Biker Bitches! Fat Louise was a total surprise, and I was hooked in the Prologue. I could not put it down.

Jamie Begley is awesome and her books are addictive. I'm already needing another fix.

Another great book by Jamie Begley. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It was something a lot of people deal with every day, and that is low self esteem. Fat Louise was drowning in it. It was gritty, sad, exciting, made me furious on occasions and very angry with certain people in the book. Cruelty was a major part of it and I would not recommend it to anyone who couldn't cope with a lot of violence. I personally enjoyed it and would recommend it highly if this was your choice of storyline.

Why Mexico? I extremely hated it, and skipped all the 130 pages of the book because it felt so unrealistic and idiotic. It didn't seem like the Fat Louise I knew and met in Sex Piston. I'm sadly disappointed in Begley. I wish she spent more time, and actually gave me a story I could love and believe in. The whole Mexican thing just pissed me off and did more harm than good. I hope this doesn't singalong the end of her career, I've seen it happen to many writer. For now, unless it catches my attention within the first chapter, I won't bother reading Begley's books anymore. Thanks for ruining a wonderful series Begley! -_-

This was only ok. I did not particularly like the book. It just seems blah. I have LOVED the Last Rider Series but this one just did absolutely nothing for me. I would think twice before I read another in this series.

I frequently judge books by my desire to keep reading past my bedtime. I finished Fat Louise in the middle of the night. I enjoyed learning more about Fat Louise. Her actions and attitudes make a lot more sense now. I found it refreshing to read a book that I could relate to. This book seemed more real life more possible. Not everyone gets along with their sister or step-mother. Not everyone has constant sex. Not everyone is a natural when it comes to relationships. Some of us feel the emptiness of knowing there is a favorite and it isn't us. Some of us are searching for approval and will do almost anything get it. We could be Fat Louise, trying to earn love and respect. Luckily for Fat Louise she has the girls. They know and they protect her. Some might see Cade as cold. I see him as lost and afraid. Cade has never experienced love. Cade treats sex the way others treat alcohol--away to forget. Together they have to learn how to have a relationship. I found this book to be a journey through life for two lost souls. Some people don't learn their lessons--her father, her sister, her mother. Thankfully, Cade and Louise do.

Fat Louise has a story that is heart breaking and tainted. You need a box of tissues to get thru this one. You will cry. scream. and laugh. I went thru a tuff time getting thru this book, because you can feel her emotions come off the page. It is AMAZING!! A bit different from the Last Riders series, but just as good. Glad Jamie told Fat Louise's story it needed to be told.

ENDING IS EPIC!!
