by Ily Jacks (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 62 ratings
Trouble seems to follow me everywhere. No doubt accepting a ride from a sexy, fierce biker on a rainy night seems like another bad move. Except this one desperate leap of faith brings Declan into my life.

From unreadable machine to possessive lover, he challenges me to want more.

Can I finally throw off the shackles of my tough life and embrace the promise of a good man?

Black & Blue is a standalone M/M romance with graphic sexual content, violent situations, and extreme profanity.

    Bijou's books have been a one click since I came upon her books so I had to give her m/m a try even though I don't normally read them. I loved it. It's the same great writing that keeps me checking her website for updates. The characters are imperfect, and real as they balance on the edge of good and bad. That's what I love about them. Can't wait to read more.

    I loved this story about Adam, a down on his luck rent boy, and Declan, the biker who rescues him. It's a sweet love story about a young man who has never known love from anyone and a man who doesn't think he has a right to have the love of another man.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A good afternoon read that I LIKED but didn't LOVE.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2017
    Format: Kindle
    BLACK AND BLUE is a M/M contemporary romance between a bad boy, MC member (Declan) and the down-on-his luck, younger man he rescues (Adam). This one was three stars for me and here's why. The blurb was intriguing enough to catch my attention and I definitely liked the premise of this story. I mean, I always enjoy reading about the big, bad possessive alpha falling like a tree for their "one true love"! And I realize that the book is more novella in length but I really, really wanted MORE! I kinda felt like I got plopped in the middle of their story and I needed a longer backstory, extra info about Adam's past and how he was able to overcome the difficulties of his former life. I would have also liked more of Declan and Adam TOGETHER, not just sex (although that was SCORCHING HOT!!) but I wanted to see them interact more. The actual writing is great, very clear and easy to follow and I'd love to read MORE (yeah, I've used that word ALOT!) from Ms. Jacks. Overall, this was a good afternoon read that I LIKED but didn't LOVE. Told from dual POVs with a sweet ending. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

    This is a new author me. I loved the book; it was sweet but not nauseatingly sweet. I did not find it to be either an "insta-love". Nice plot line.I like the dialogue between Adam and Declan.Many ways I felt like I was right there. I like the way the author writes the sentence structure, the word usage, and the imagination. I would recommend this book for an entertaining and enjoyable read.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024

    I liked the story as a whole, but Declan's wishy washy back and forth kind of ticked me off. I get where he was coming from, but he didn't handle it well and hurt Adam's feelings more than he needed to.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Cuter, hotter, and more well-rounded than the synopsis suggests. Loved the MC pairing as well as some of the support cast.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2017

    Such a short story but filled with so much goodness. A good man, good sexual tension, good flow. Declan is a grouchy badass biker, Adam is essentially a starved, scraggly, drowned rat. How these two find a future? Well, an attempted mugging and a dry, warm place to sleep is what starts it.

    After reading the synopsis I was just assuming that there would be Adam in need of a ride somewhere and then Declan would offer. Well, maybe not as simple and boring as that sounds, but that would be the basic idea, right? But instead we get a much larger picture of Adam, who he is, what he's desperate for, where he's coming from, and just what kind of situation he finds himself in. So much better than what I had in mind. When Declan shows up and places himself in the hero/savior role he becomes so much more than the mysterious biker from the synopsis.

    So right away we get a sense that these two men aren't so simple, aren't headed for something codependent and dysfunctional. Well, not entirely. There's a whole lot that can go wrong here and the big things are discussed in the story and I'm glad of that. Adam has a darker past that he's eager to be rid of and away from. He's a bit like a puppy following after Deacon and any scrap of affection or crumb of attention and this has the potential to be quite unhealthy. While Deacon is incredibly attracted to Adam and gives in to it pretty quickly he recognizes that it's not the best way for Adam to continue living. He then does the adult thing and tries his best to teach Adam to stand up for himself, to make decisions, and dream of a future that may or may not include Deacon as a lover. With those lessons Deacon encourages Adam to be an adult and to mature into a good man.

    Adam sees so much goodness in Deacon even though Deacon is hell-bent on denying that any truly exists. And then there's Maura, Deacon's ex-wife. Maura is a good woman and loves Deacon as a good friend which allows her to be happy for Adam's presence. She also takes it upon herself to give Adam a few essential tips to understanding Deacon and moving their romance forward. Maura and Deacon had two children together and Eric is sweet, accepting, and I really enjoyed the conversation they had about Adam. All of these point to Deacon being such a good person inside that his gruffness becomes endearing rather than something to be changed or overcome.

    I'm not exactly a fan of his club. I do understand that the dynamic isn't all hugs and rainbows for everyone in or out of the club, but this particular dynamic just didn't work for me here. Aside from that there was so much to enjoy and so little to turn me off of the story. The feels were there, the passion was hot, and the conclusion was more than satisfactory.

    Declan from the beginning was so lovable, even when he tried not to be. I was hesitant at first to purchase this book, but I am glad I did. Definitely worthy.

    This book was recommended to me and it certainly did not disappoint. I’ve only read a few M/M books and this is certainly a great read. Loved the characters and the story.
