Yearning

Leather & Chrome, Book 3

By: Kiki Clark

Narrated by: John Solo

Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins

Publisher's summary

Ride hard. Love harder. Yearn for more.

Houston has a secret. One he hasn’t even shared with his motorcycle club. One that involves rope and dominance and pretty little subs kneeling at his feet.

And he’s fine with that. Prefers it, really. It keeps his life nice and orderly.

But the night Kenneth dropped into his life changed everything. Entranced, he watched the sweet nurse stitch up one of his brothers—and then slip away. Even after he’s gone, his shy eyes full of desperate yearning continue to haunt him.

Houston has an idea of what the boy needs. And he thinks he’s just the Dom to give it to him.

Besides, what good is a carefully compartmentalized life when he could have Kenneth instead?

Yearning is the third book in the Leather & Chrome series but can be enjoyed on its own. The story features a missed connection made right, an age gap, nosy friends with the best of intentions, a possessive biker with a heart of gold, and golden-brown skin wrapped in teal rope.

Excellent series

Kenneth and Houston might be my favorite couple so far in the Leather & Chrome series. This is a very well done low angst read, that is still filled with complex characters and an engaging plot. These two are quite wonderful and super sweet together. Houston’s utter dedication to taking care of Kenneth is both crazy hot and quite beautiful. John Solo’s narration is excellent and both MCs have a unique voice. Excellent, I love this couple and their well deserved HEA.

Wonderful

I love all of Kiki’s books. They just keep getting better. This one, once again showed how much two men can share a strong connection, share in different desires and have their lives grow together. I am also impressed on how well these two men helped each other and their friends as their love grew stronger as they went. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who loves a book about growing together with some issues, but making it work as a team.

Sweet, safe, sane and consensual

The club VP, Houston, finds a sweet boy to dote on. Great love story with a bit of fun and feistiness thrown in. Houston loves rope bondage and his sweet, nervous, unsure of himself Kenneth comes to love it too. The BDSM aspect makes these two quite close and they quickly become attached emotionally. It’s a sweet story with a bit of spice. Between his new friendship with Ollie and CJ, and his new relationship with his Daddy, Kenneth gains great self esteem and confidence. The club continues on its mission to safeguard victims of domestic violence.

Yearning and Fulfillment!

I’m loving this series and absolutely adore Kenneth! He is such a sweet hot mess at first, but Houston sees him for what he is……”his sweet boy”. Houston has the perfect amount of both possessive and caring tendencies. The narrator makes you feel the emotion. Wonderful listen!

So good! - by Shana W

The narration by John Solo was amazing! I liked the different voices he did and his reading had good expression and really flowed. The story itself was enjoyable, with a young nurse and a sweet biker (yes, truly!). There was a lot of humour added by the interfering but well-meaning friends and family. Fun to listen!

Wickedly Awesome

This story is one of the best romances I have listen to in a long time. Houston and Kenneth love and connection is what true love should be in any relationship . I can't wait for the next book . looking forward to Tomas story

Kenneth and Houston

This is by far my favorite story in the Leather and Chrome series. When I first read it, I loved everything about it: Kenneth’s shyness and submission, Houston’s dominance, and the kinks. Listening to the audiobook was even better. John Solo did a tremendous job bringing Kenneth and especially Houston to life. Every time he said “sweetheart” was 🥰. You could possibly read this as a stand-alone, but I would recommend listening to the first two first. Perfection!

Fabulous

This audiobook was awesome! To watch Kenneth grow was amazing and the narration is absolutely spot on! The storyline kept me engaged and wondering what would happen next!

😍😍

Another great addition to the Leather & Chrome series! Houston & Kenneth are all sorts of adorable together! The only thing I would have liked to see is a conclusion to the animosity between Houston and his brother.

John Solo, as usual, knocked it out of the park. He brings so many layers to the characters he reads. It really adds so much to the story.

Great listen!

Great add to the series! Houston and Kenneth come to life with John Solo's brilliant voice. Personalities pop and each scene is more intense in the best way. Can't wait for the next.

Beautiful

I loved reading this book so much and the audio has made it even better. Kenneth and Houston are so incredibly special together - loving, caring and so sexy. John Solo has delivered another stellar performance as well- added to Kiki Clark’s stellar writing and you have an amazing audiobook!

The perfect match!

Sweet, caring, sexy and unexpected, all these words sum up the instant connection between Kenneth and Houston! I'm loving this series, the unexpected collection of Dons and Daddys and all the fun of a motorcycle club with a great cause! I love the diverse and colourful characters and all the hints at future stories throughout this and the other stories. I can't wait for Tomas' poly story and I hope there's acceptance and love in Knuckles future too!!
great series, fantastic characters and bikers with hearts of gold!

So intense

Story: Great characters and story, plus a side helping of great kink writing. I am really impressed with the story. Kiki Clark did a great job!
Narration: Another hit from John Solo. Perfect fit for the characters.

3.5 stars

Enjoyable book for the genre. Didn’t grab me by the heart as much as it could have done, but still liked it.

Amazing series

I read the book few months ago and I knew I had to continue with the audiobook as soon as possible. I love this series, I could listened to them again and again, John Solo is awesome. I’m really looking forward to more of them.

The characters are super cute, Kenneth in need of love and comfort and Houston ready to deliver. And the book is steamy (the whole serie is), but not excessively, juts in a way that makes sense for the story.
