Title: Hold Me Down (Deacons of Bourbon Street, #3)
When the biker
who broke her heart rides into town, a woman must choose between passion
and duty. Jackie Ashenden ups the ante in a seductive series co-written
with Megan Crane, Rachael Johns, and Maisey Yates.
Leonidas “Blue” Delacroix might be the prodigal son of New Orleans aristocrats, but the Deacons of Bourbon Street are his real family. And with their patriarch murdered, Blue wants nothing more than to unleash hell on the motorcycle club’s enemies—even if it means taking up arms against the girl who used to be his best friend. She’s done quite a bit of growing up, and suddenly their chemistry is red-hot. But where’s the line between ruthless seduction and sweet temptation?
For Alice Day, loyalty is everything. When Blue skipped town, she had no choice but to adopt a new family: their rivals, the Graveyard Ministry. Seeing him again reawakens old feelings . . . and fiery fantasies. Alice could never forget the scent of leather on his skin—just as she could never forgive the sting of his betrayal. But while the Ministry has treated her like one of their own, Blue is part of her soul. And as their liaisons hit the boiling point, Alice trusts her heart with the deadliest choice of her life.

A third part in the series, HOLD ME DOWN, was a pleasant qick read but one I'm probably not going to repeat.
I read only this one and I'm not going to read the rest. I don't like it when several different authors write a series together. I think that in the ends it lacks something.
Leon aka Blue returns after ten years back to New Orleans with two things on his mind. Revenge and a girl, the best friend he'd left behind.
Alice aka Red is a mechanic. She used to belong to Deacons' MC, but when they all fled and left her on her own she became a part of another MC - the Ministry. They took her in, they saved her garage and gave her the family she didn't have anymore.
When they meet again it doesn't go over well. Alice is (rightfully) pissed at Blue for leaving and not saying a word to her for ten years and Blue is pissed at Ally for joining the Ministry. But it ends pretty well for both of them.. In a round of angry sex.
I was angry at the characters (or maybe the author) for some things that happened (or did not happen) in the book.
1. There was basically no explanation about why Blue and other had to leave.
2. Are they really angry at her joining the Ministry? They freaking left her. She was supposed to be a part of them and they abandoned her and didn't think about her again until she walked right under their noses (stupid move, if I have to say)
3. Blue lived like an hour or two away from New Orleans. He really couldn't call? Write? Send a pigeon? Smoke signals?
4. The ending. It was rushed and only on thing was resolved and another ten were left open. To me it seems like the author didn't know how to resolve it so she just ended it.
