Nope. Neither of these characters are appealing to me in any way. Too much exposition. Too much awkward dialogue. I don’t even want to think about what else is packed into the rest of the 74 pages. YMMV.

This was a short quick read that I liked and wished was longer. Jace and Daniela are both having bad a day for different reasons. Jace ends up in the hospital and Daniela is the attending physician. He hears her tirade when she goes off on her now ex fiance for cheating. Sparks fly between Jace and Daniela which leads to her losing her job. These two have some hot chemistry. This was my first time reading this author. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

This prequel to the Trigger Pull MC series was short, fast-paced, and hot.

I am super excited to see more of Jace and Daniela in the next installment as their story very much will continue there. I am also excited to get Stone’s story too!

Daniele is a doctor and Jace is a biker. The two meet after a crazy time in their lives. Two people from different worlds who shouldn't make sense together yet they do have a perfect fit. I liked this couple and am looking forward to reading more about them.

You want a hot, new MC series to read? This story is definitely a start to what is sure to be a fantastic series. Jace and Daniela steam up the pages with their chance encounter and off the charts chemistry. I cannot wait for more of this series to see what happens.

I wasn't expecting this to be as quick of a story as it was, but boy is it worth the read. It's H-O-T! The insta-attraction between Jace and Daniela is something else...their first scene together made my giggle and roll my eyes and it gets super hot and kinky from there. I would have liked to know more about the characters before the story got all heavy, but that's okay because I honestly fell for them the minute they were in the same room together. I'm really looking forwarding to Stone's story...I don't know if he can top Jace in the growly alpha 'mark my territory in five minutes' department, but I'm sure he'll try! I recommend this read for anyone looking for a quick, quirky, sexy story, but be warned because it will leave you wanting more!

Really quick read that brings the male and female lead characters together in quite the unusual way. She's the ER doctor that treats him after a fight he and Stone are in, and he is more than interested in the firey beauty currently stitching him up. Things get heated really fast between the two and then begin to go right down the drain, but mostly for Daniela. But there is a sliver lining to that dark cloud and things get, well, they stop until you get to the epilogue and find out what happens like 6 years later! I wasn't really happy about this, but it did tell me what I wanted to know, I just missed the ride to get to that point. I'm sure the author had her reasons for this and it's all good. But the epilogue also gives us a look into the life of Stone, the next one on deck to have their lives explained.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book (even if I really didn't like the way in which the story's ending was handled) For a fast read, go for it. Of course, if you are planning on reading this MC, you really need to read this book first. I highly recommend this book.

So hot!

Jace is a short story, a prequel and damn, I wanted more.

I could easy have carried on reading, Jace was easy to read, had a good balance of storyline and hotness and was so addictive .

I instantly liked both characters, Jace aka Red with his cocky attitude and no filter mouth and Daniele with her sass.

Life definitely threw both of these characters curveballs the day they met and I can't wait to read more from them and this series.

I really liked this story, and if it had been completed, I would have given it 4 stars. But it stopped mid-story, then had an epilogue to wrap everything up. The epilogue is obviously after book one to this prequel. I started with the prequel so there were a lot of gaps.

A great short introduction to a new MC series! Jace was hot, and Danielle was the right amount of feisty. They were perfect together. Can't wait to read more about them, and Jace's MC brother Stone.

It’s a short, sweet erotic ride. I’m glad I got to see how everything started. Love Daniela and Jace together, they just fit perfectly.

never sure about prequels

I’m never sure about prequels, you get parts of the story which are spoilers for the actual book or you get nothing. This one gives you the start and the end so not sure if that spoils things for you, if you hate that then don’t read the epilogue that gives the end up. The. Start I can handle as it tells the first part of the story.

If you know me from my previous reviews, you know that if there's a genre that can make me devour a book in no time is MC.
I've read my fair share of them but being good greedy I always want more.
Each book just complimented and justified my love for this genre and the more I read... The more I want.
I can't stop.
And this is were this next author enters.
It's my first book from her and let's just say that I'll be following her for the near future.
Jace is her latest release and it's the prequel for the Trigger Pull MC.
This new book explores the lives of Jace and Daniela.
Daniela's turmoil of events started the day she caught her boyfriend cheating on her.
She's having a horrible day until one hunk of a guy...
Jace lives for his club. After one job going wrong he sees himself in the hospital to be treated by the beautiful Daniela...
And now... It's over... Why?? Why??
It ended so soon... I need more... I want more...
Right now...
It's was the perfect introduction not only to this author but also to this series.
Perfect plot, well written and super intense.
The characters shared intense chemistry and that was very well portrayed.
It was a hot ride that made me fall in love.
I loved every chapter and I can't wait for the next book.
When will it be Addy? Please hurry.  I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Awesome Prequel to a series. I love MC romances and I have a hunch this series is going to be a good one. The prequel gives us a look into Jace and Stone, two Trigger Pull MC brothers who are headed to a new life as they step up to rule the California Chapter. As the head out for the long ride to California, the boys get waylaid at the ER when Jace gets cut in a fight. It’s there Jace meets the very sexy ER doc, Daniele.

Daniele is having an extremely bad day. It started when she forgot her phone and returned home to get it. But instead of finding the phone she got an eyeful when she “caught” her boyfriend with the girl next door. From there her day went all down hill, that is until she meets Jace, the biker who’s in her ER and in need of stitches.

These two meet and ignite the world around them. But Jace’s is headed to “Sunny California” and Daniele is an ER doc in Nevada. Sometimes things are just not meant to be but other times, they just seem to fit. Great start to the series and this reader can’t wait to see how things go when Jace and Stone hit “Sunny California”. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars.

I started reading this one and before I knew it I was finished. Really fast paced intense book. But would have loved more from it. Jace is part of the Trigger Pull MC. He ends up getting stabbed and tries to take care of the wound himself. But he ends up in the hospital where he meets Daniela his doctor. Instant chemistry. I loved Daniela from the get go. She is feisty and you instantly love her when she tells her ex off. But will things work out for these two? He ends up leaving after things go down and so does she. But she isn't able to get ahold of him like he promised. Will these two end up together? I was a little disappointed I wanted more from these two. More from the story in general. It is a short read and fast paced. Enjoyable none the less. I did enjoy every minute of this one and cant wait to read the next one.

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
Jace is a prequel in the trigger pull MC series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. When Jace, the vice president of trigger pull MC gets injured, he heads to the hospital. What he doesn’t expect is to get hooked on a pretty doctor.
The chemistry between Jace and Daniele is clear to see and I liked them together. The passion between them was through the roof.
I can’t wait for more from this series. I need more of Jace
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read.

This is a prequel/novella for this new spin off series by Addy. Jace finds himself at the hospital needing to be stitched up. Daniele is the doctor who stitched him up. Their connection was immediate. Daniele’s morning had not gone well. Turns out Daniele’s morning wasn’t done with her. Her ex comes to the hospital and makes a seen. Jace acts on instinct and lets her ex know she is now his ol’ lady. Fate has plans for them both though. Their story will have to hit pause. I love Jace and Daniele’s connection. They are so hot together and funny. I can’t wait to see what fate has in store for them. I am loving this new series. I can’t wait to see what Stone and Jace do with the club once they take over. Great job Addy Archer.

According to Daniela - 'Once you've had a wild ride with a biker, everything else fades away'

And oh boy did Dr Daniela have a wild ride with our biker hottie Jace; she was only suppose to clean him up after a fight at his old club before Jace and Stone the new President of the California Chapter of the Trigger Pull MC left town but things got a little steamy in the examination room.

But when Daniela's ex turns up and Jace losses his phone the pair look set to be ships that pass in the night.

We will have to wait for Stones story to see if the pair ever meet again.

I can't wait for the Trigger Pull MC it looks set to be one steamy hot MC series!

Jace is a prequel of things to come, and while I LOVED it, the short(ish) nature had me calling the talented Addy Archer quite a few names of the colorful variety because it just wasn't enough. Jace, aka Red, meets a feisty doctor named Daniele & we were off & running. They had big chemistry, a lot of fun interactions, and were perfect for each other. Of course, life is life, it doesn't care who you are, it will throw curve balls like nobody's business, so yeah, these two had a lot to overcome. Did they make it past all those sneaky curve balls?! You'll have to hit that one click button to find out! As for me?! I'm ready for Stone! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Freaking amazing 😍😍

What an amazing short read. A chance meet between jace and Daniella. Sparks fly and in a short amount of time, they really are looking forward to meeting each other. But their chances are blown away when destiny leaves them of no way of coming in contact with each other. Yep, I can't wait to get my hand son stone. I need to know what happens. But mind you this ends in a sort of cliffy. Not exactly cliffy as we get a hea. But the main story of how it continues between jace and Daniella is continued in stone. Yeah, when you read this one, you wouldn't be able to stop yourself from getting stone just like me. Loved loved this one. ❤️❤️❤️

Jace is the Prequel to Addy Archer’s new MC series Trigger Pull MC.
After finding out her boyfriend has been cheating on her Daniele is having a bad day and decides that she needs a change of scenery but she has to finish her shift at the hospital first. Jace has been cleaning up the trash with his old MC but after being hurt and trying to fix himself up he heads to the hospital. After a lust at first sight meeting this pair steam up the treatment room. This book is a great start to this new series. Looking forward to book 2

This was a great Prequel, it was a strong start to this series. Addy Archer did a great job on the story. The plot was strong, so wasn't teh characters, the story was written well.
Daniela and Jace were well matched, neither took the other's crap, both were head strong. The attraction between them was strong, they were drawn to one another. Their chemistry was off the charts. Jace and Daniela were great together, they were made for each other.
I enjoyed this story, it was great.
Thank you, Addy Archer. Great work :)

For writing style, character development and plot timing, I would give this author a solid 5 Stars. Unfortunately, something goes drastically wrong with the wrap up in this short story and it turns disappointing really fast. Just when we get to the best part where the hero and heroine have to come back together, it ends, sort of. Instead, we get an epilogue 6 years into the future, skipping right over all the best stuff. So disappointing. So between the great writing and the poor, almost nonexistent ending, (yeah yeah, I know it's a prequel) we end up in the middle at 3 stars.

If there is one way to get you hooked on a series it is with a prequel that is captivating and enchanting and contains characters that you instantly connect with. Jace is the prequel to the Trigger Pull MC series and this fast paced, steamy introduction has your pulse racing and your skin tingling. Jace and Daniela have me hooked and on the edge of my seat as I sit here waiting for where this ride will take them. Bring on Stone’s book because things are about to get interesting.

One quick meeting and their lives were changed. Will fate bring them together again?

Loved this steamy quick lead into the Trigger Pull MC. After being introduced to these guys in the last series, I was excited to see them again and it did not disappoint. I loved how Jace immediately came to her defense and was determined to call her his. I loved how she was determined to not stay in the rut and started living for herself. Good quick read!

This was a super hot, fast paced and a little short but definitely a enjoyable read and a must as it’s an excellent prequel to the Trigger Pull MC series.
I loved the terrific character Jace, he’s was sex on a stick and Daniela, she just knew what do with him.
I’m definitely looking forward to the next instalment in this exciting journey with Stone’s story. A great read!

The prequel takes place after the Rebel Ro\age MC series.
Jace is promoted from just being a patched member to the VP, when they move from Nevada to California, to take over the Trigger Pull MC from Stones grandfather.
In the process they each meet strong willed women, who will bring them to their knees. In Jaces case it is a feisty, and determined doctor who has him from hello.

I was lucky to receive this as an ARC....and wow I just couldn't put it down...if I had any criticism it would be it wasn't long enough but it's a prequel it's not meant to be long....so I'll forgive Addy this once 😂 I can't wait for the continuing story of Jace and Daniela and look forward to getting to know these characters
