2014 Favorite ReadI have been dying for Craving Absolution to release.  Nicole Jacquelyn’s Aces series has made my 2014 Favorite Reads list.  I cannot praise this series enough.With the market being saturated with Biker themed series, ranging from bad boy bikers, bikers undercover, bikers down under, and lifer bikers, I have to say The Aces MC is at the tops.  It is a portrayal of a club compiled of members from various walks in life that have banned together as a family.  They live by their own codes, laws, and rules.  They love just as fiercely as their commitments to the club.  They will give their lives, serve time, turn their backs on those who betray the club, and leave their old lives behind to live by the code.  In return they will be embraced by a dedicated family that will have their backs at all times.At times they will have to hurt the ones they love the most for the for the club.  There will be times that they will have to sacrifice their own personal desires for the club.  It is not an easy life.Craving Absolution is the third book in this series.  We met Casper, the new prospect for the club in the first book of this series.  He is young, quiet, and a bit mysterious.  He can move throughout various situations like a ghost.  Thus, the nickname Casper.In the second book we get to see who Casper was before joining The Aces MC club.  He was a young man with a brilliant future.  He was away at a prestigious school in the east.  His academic success had gained him scholarships that would eventually land him a full scholarship to Yale.  When his parents are brutally murdered by a gang with a vendetta, his life is forever changed.At the age of fifteen he has a first hand experience with the brutality of the harsh and violent world.  Through his older sister Callie he is introduced to the Aces MC club and her best friend Farrah.  He will witness another world he never knew existed.  He will seize the opportunity to join the Aces to get retribution for the deaths of his parents.  He will find a world that is a better fit for him than the perfect world at Yale.  He will find the one woman that can complete him.  The life he chose, the woman he claimed will be the most challenging and satisfying endeavor he will ever take.  There will be good, bad, violence, love, friendship, danger, diabolical enemies, and a support system that will have his back at all times.  Cody will embrace this life and he will do everything in his power to capture Farrah’s heart.We met Farrah in the second book of this series.  She is Callie’s best friend.  They met in high school and become sisters by choice.  Farrah has had a very rough life.  Her mother is a drug addict and former club whore.  She is the illegitimate child of the president of the Aces.  He has abandoned her and left her to survive in the horrific word in which her mother lives.  Not only has she suffered abuse from her mother, she has witnessed the violent world that comes with the members of the Aces.  Her boyfriend is brutally gunned down right on her doorstep.  She has watched Callie suffer from the enemies of the Aces.  She has a very bitter attitude towards the Aces and everything they stand for.  The one person that has always showed her pure kindness and respect has now joined with the Aces.  Can she give her heart to Cody knowing that their life will be ruled by the very club that has done nothing but break her?Craving Absolution has lived up to the high standards that the first two books in this series has set.  I was addicted from page one and could not put it down.  There were so many surprises, underlying plots, emotional scenes, and pure love scenes.  This book played on every emotion.  Nicole Jacquelyn is a talented writer that has created a world that is unforgettable.I highly recommend this series.  It is on my 2014 Favorite Reads list.
