About Ride Hard (Raven Riders #1):
Brotherhood. Club. Family.
They live and ride by their own rules.
These are the Raven Riders…
Raven Riders Motorcycle Club President Dare Kenyon rides hard and values loyalty above all else. He’ll do anything to protect the brotherhood of bikers—the only family he’s got—as well as those who can’t defend themselves. So when mistrustful Haven Randall lands on the club’s doorstep scared that she’s being hunted, Dare takes her in, swears to keep her safe, and pushes to learn the secrets overshadowing her pretty smile.
Haven fled from years of abuse at the hands of her criminal father and is suspicious of any man’s promises, including those of the darkly sexy and overwhelmingly intense Ravens’ leader. But as the powerful attraction between them flares to life, Dare pushes her boundaries and tempts her to want things she never thought she could.
The past never dies without a fight, but Dare Kenyon’s never backed down before…
Excerpt:
One minute Dare was standing on
the beach, trying to keep himself from giving in to Haven’s innocent playfulness.
The next he was wet from forehead to knees from Haven splashing him.
She actually splashed him.
His reaction was pure instinct.
He took off like a shot, bolting toward her like a wild animal after its prey. Haven’s
beautiful face went from uncertain to startled to amused, and on a scream and a
laugh she turned and ran, her feet kicking up water as she cut through the
shallows at the secluded lake’s edge.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” she
yelled between laughs.
Dare just ran faster, not even
caring as his boots hit the water. She didn’t have a chance in hell of
outrunning him, and he wasn’t giving up the chase until he had her in his arms—and
made her pay.
A burst of laughter exploded out
of her as she veered back and forth, pleading words spilling haltingly from her
lips. And then Dare clasped his arms around her upper body, hauled her in against
him, and took them both down to the sand right at the water’s edge. He turned
his body so that he took the brunt of the fall, bringing Haven down on top of
him. The chase and the challenge and the closeness had him rock hard in an instant.
Not surprising, since he’d been sporting a semi since she’d straddled his bike,
spread her legs around him, and taken him into her arms.
“You splashed me,” he said,
eyebrow arched, hand fisted around the long braid in her hair.
Wearing a grin so open and
carefree that it made his chest feel suddenly too small for his heart, Haven
nodded. “Oops.”
“You think that’s funny?” he
asking, growing harder as she shifted her weight, making her belly grind
against his hard-on.
A small gasp of recognition, and
she bit down on her lip as the cast of her eyes went from playful to aroused. “A
little,” she said in a breathy voice. She licked her lips. Dare couldn’t help but
track the movement, and want to suck the trail of moisture she left there off
the plump, pink skin.
What the fuck was he doing?
Haven’s hands gripped his
shoulders, and she subtly shifted her weight again, pulling herself up his
body—just a little, but enough that her lower belly now pressed and thrust
against his cock. And Jesus if the need blazing out of those bright blue eyes
wasn’t crystal clear.
For a split second, Dare thought
of Haven’s list of things she’d never experienced, her lie of omission, the expression
she’d worn on her face when he’d made her come before. And what he wanted to
do ran roughshod over what he should do.
Startling
a high-pitched gasp from her, Dare flipped their positions so that she lay in
the soft sand and his body lay partially over hers. With his forehead against
hers, he nailed her with a stare. “You sure you want to provoke me?”
Review:
This is by far the best MC book that I have read in a long time. Laura Kaye has yet again given us a book that if I could rate it higher than 5 I would!!
I'm going to start with Haven. My heart broke for her and really all the girls that were rescued. It's something about her spirit that was broken but it wasn't unfix-able. Haven had a bad life and she had to get out and away. Things were rough but the ride that she is about to partake in will be the "ride" of her life and takes her back to where she should be.
Dare was just himself but the life that he lived and the things that he had to go through were rough. His MC helped people and wasn't the typical MC that we all read about. It was something about this brotherhood that has topped all others. He loved his brothers and his MC. They were on a mission and nothing was going to stop them.
When Dare and Haven meet it's semi sweet but we know something is going to erupt!! The struggle with their lives was hard and rough but these two were strong in a different way and it was good to see everything play out.
I must say I was intrigued by the friendships of both the these two and on my seat when....well you'll have to read to find out!!
This story is so good and now I will go back and start at the beginning of their introductions with Hard Ink since I have not yet read the series!!
Don't forget you can grab HARD AS STEEL, a Hard Ink/Raven Riders Crossover Novella out now and pre-order RIDE ROUGH, book 2 in the Raven Riders Series (out April 25, 2017)!
