Rook and Ronin - Tragic, Manic and Panic - JA Huss

It took me ages to get round to reading these books. There is a specific reading order to these series of books -

Tragic, Manic, Panic, Slack, Taut, Bomb, Guns, Come and Come Back.


I'm a true believer in reading them in order BUT You don't have to have read Tragic, Manic and Panic to read the rest. It just helps as there's mention of the characters in the other books.

The picture below shows the omnibus edition but I don't think its available anymore, so I'll post links to the separate books.

Tragic Synopsis -

Rook Walsh is TRAGIC

Because life so far - just sucks. Some girls get parents. Rook got the foster care system. Some girls get Prince Charming. Rook got an abusive frog. Some girls get lucky...

Rook got a second chance.

And she took it. Because when fate throws you a bone - you grab it with both hands and run.

Antoine Chaput knows the minute he spies Rook in his photography studio that she's got The Look. The dark and desperate look he must have to land the exclusive TRAGIC media contract.

Rook is paired up with top model, Ronin, and he's everything her abusive ex-boyfriend wasn't. Patient, gentle, happy, attentive, and sexy! He knows exactly what to do to make Rook blush for Antoine's camera.

Rook's luck changes in an instant and suddenly she's the darling of the modelling world. It's a dream job to go with a dream guy and all she has to do is look pretty and follow directions. But there's always a price to pay - and Rook is about to get the bill.

Manic Synopsis -


TRAGIC is over and Rook is ready for the future—Spencer Shrike and the STURGIS contract!

It’s three months of body art modelling! That means three months of Spencer Shrike’s paintbrush all over her body, three months in front of Antoine’s camera, and three months of twenty-four-hour filming for Spencer’s Biker Channel reality show.

Wait a minute… what reality show? Maybe she should’ve read that STURGIS contract a little closer? ;)

Sure, Rook’s bank account is overflowing, but Ronin is angry, Clare is trying to escape rehab, Antoine is a worried mess, and Elise is just trying to hold everyone together. Rook’s new family is about to fall apart before she even gets the chance to enjoy it.

Add in a mysterious man from her past, a road trip to the famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and a final show in front of the entire world where all her goods are on display, and you’ve got Manic—a New Adult contemporary romance that will definitely make your summer sizzle! 

Panic Synopsis -

Rook is chasing her dream--film school and a chance at a life beyond the one she ran from six months ago. But before she can become the girl she wants to be, she must deal with the girl she left behind.

Ronin is also chasing his dream--a family of his own and a life away from erotic modelling. And he too, has a past he's trying to forget. A past that makes Rook question everything about their life together.

Lies, secrets, and shocking truths will rock the foundation Rook and Ronin have built. Can they put the past behind them and move forward together? Or is this just another too good to be true relationship that will crash and burn in the end?

Rachel's Review

I put off reading these books so many times thinking they wouldn't be for me. Big mistake! HUGE!

I love the characters. All of them so complicated and even the "bad guys" aren't so bad. These books were well thought out and the characters were focused on so well they were almost real.

I love Rooks' backstory. I'm a sucker for a book about a girl/boy with a bad past.

These books are so addictive, its not just the superb writing, the exceptional characters or the storyline. It's something else. It hooks you in and doesn't want to let you go. I'm so glad Slack, Taut, Bomb and Guns follows on and give me my Huss fix!

Rachel's Rating

4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
