Second chance romance done right! Feels everywhere with this book, sadness and anger for what Alexa was going through, fear for what would happen next and happiness seeing the way Mav was with her.

Alexa is trying to make herself a perfect life and it hurt to watch her come to terms with the fact that her fiancé was abusive and how it got bad over time without her really noticing. Maverick was her man until grief drove her away.

Took me til 3 am in the hotel room to finish it (although we didn‘t get back to it til 1:30 but I did it. I liked the book ok, I liked Maverick and the storyline but Alexa drove me up the wall. I tried not to judge because you just never know but she never should have left Mav in the first place. Although then there‘d be no book. I enjoyed seeing other characters and I definitely need more of these guys. @CoverToCoverGirl @theresidentromantic

theresidentromantic @CocoReads Promise the next two melt your ovaries into a puddle of "Aawwwwww". I just took a deep breath and had to move on. Maverick was cute and that's what was important. 6y
CocoReads Yeah, I can‘t wait. I‘ll start Slider and Cora on the way home this morning. 6y

@CoverToCoverGirl @theresidentromantic I‘m Battle Creek bound for a show tonight but it‘s a couple hour drive so I‘ll be working on finishing this on the way. Still not on Team Alexa but I‘ll be happy when she‘s not in danger anymore. And I guess if she makes Mav happy....

CoverToCoverGirl Have a great time! 6y
CocoReads It‘s 2 am-we‘ve bern back at the hotel for about 45 minutes and I‘ve got 3 chapters to go! Show was great, one of the bands was from Baltimore and all I could think of was “I wonder if Jeremy did their ink?” #nerdproblems I might be cracking up. 🤣🤣🤪 @CoverToCoverGirl @theresidentromantic (edited) 6y

I'm trying desperately to not judge her. I am, I am, I am. And she got better. But her rediculous attitude in the beginning and more unbelievable switch back to him for THE. SAME. REASONS. SHE. WAS. WITH. THAT. OTHER. SHMUCK. Is the reason i can't love this one. "Oh, look. This guy that I actually like can give me all the things I was with that other guy for. Perfect!" aahhAAAAAHhhhh. It had some cute scenes, but I need a hug.

theresidentromantic @CocoReads @CoverToCoverGirl @Daughter-of-words I didn't have much to do to day, I'll wait for Slider till you're all done with Mav 😁😙 6y
CoverToCoverGirl Just starting chapter 10 and so far like you, I‘m very underwhelmed by Alexa‘s whole persona.. way to indecisive and to much self doubt with a good dollop of duh! I get that that is part of the result of abuse but it‘s really difficult to read because it makes you think enough already time go and why did you leave Mav anyway! 😳 6y
CocoReads I‘m only on chapter 7 because I‘ve been gone all evening but I may be able to finish tomorrow, I should be able to read some at work and then we‘ve got a 2 ish hour drive to Battle Creek for a show. If I don‘t finish tomorrow, I should be able to finish on the drive home on Saturday. 6y
CocoReads And yeah, this is not my favorite either. 6y
theresidentromantic @CocoReads @CoverToCoverGirl I was getting better with her and I was trying hard not to be as harsh. And then there's a thing where she says that Mav finally offered her "safety and security which is all she'd ever wanted" and I f**king lost it. 6y

Red flag! Red flag! I mean, not the estrangement—I know people who are estranged from their parents so I get that, but the refusal to talk about it—danger ahead. Get your head outta your ass Alexa! @theresidentromantic @CoverToCoverGirl

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m glad I‘m not the only who‘s thought that while reading a book. Red flag 🚩 back away slowly right now! 6y
CocoReads Run, don‘t walk to the nearest exit! 6y
theresidentromantic @CocoReads So I'm a little further than you (not much) and I have a little more sympathy for Alexa. And I'm telling myself that I'm in a very safe and happy relationship and from that perspective it's very easy to question Alexa's decisions. But I'm questioning Alexa's decisions. Sigh. 6y
CocoReads I know—I kind of get it because I haven‘t always made the best choices in the past (although that was pre husband and we‘ve been married for a zillion years) and I try not to judge because we just don‘t know-but it‘s hard. Humanity is hard. Laura Kaye shows that in her books, I can only hope to write half as well someday! 6y
CoverToCoverGirl I‘ll way in on all this once I get there but yeah.. red flag if someone refuses to spill about something that important .. run like the devil is on your heels because he probably is! @theresidentromantic (edited) 6y

@CoverToCoverGirl @CocoReads @Daughter-of-words

I'm trying so, so hard to like her you guys. I'm trying to understand that people just don't look at their lives and see the problems others see. But it's So. Damn. Hard. How could you fall in love with someone who only tolerates your family? Even if they're crazy. And how can you just ignore someone who is trying to help you? Ugh.

CocoReads Yeah, I‘m not an Alexa fan either. I like Maverick though, so of course I think he can do better. Lol 6y
theresidentromantic @CocoReads I'm here for this book in hopes of her redemption as a character and because I really like Maverick. And because Cora and Caine are so, so worth getting too. 6y
CocoReads Yep. I‘m hoping it gets brought back around. 6y
CoverToCoverGirl Sometimes the struggle is real when you dislike the main characters .. hoping to get some reading time this evening or you guys will be finished before I hardly get going 😬 life has rudely interrupted my plans. 6y
theresidentromantic @CoverToCoverGirl I've been free most of today, so I've blown through it. She's gotten.... Better. Maverick still deserves better, but I'm not cringing anymore. 6y

You know what I‘d like to see? A book, maybe just a novella even, of Bunny and Rodeo. That‘s gotta be a good story. @CoverToCoverGirl @theresidentromantic #RavenRiders #MCromantsy

theresidentromantic I feel the same way about Bull and Beauty from the Hangmen! I feel like I'd love a little bit about the established couples in these books 💕 6y
CocoReads I would love a Bull and Beauty story! 6y
CoverToCoverGirl I concur @theresidentromantic @CocoReads both of those couples deserve their stories! 😊 6y

The second book in the raven riders series was amazing. I love the main characters so much and I didn't want the book to end. If you love contemporary romance with sexy bikers this is definitely a series you're looking for. This was my 6th Laura Kaye read and she keeps blowing me away. 🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️

This is a new genre for me. Although there seems to be an awful lot of sex though.

CouronneDhiver Suspenseful sex? Lol 🤔 7y
Books88 @CouronneDhiver 😂😂suspenseful sex. 7y
LazyLimaLife @CouronneDhiver @AJBowers not suspenseful at all! Actually, a little boring....😕 7y

When you find yourself facing a car ride of more than 15 minutes you click on the first available audiobook that comes up - even if it's part 2. So far, so good!

When it comes to the writing and plot, it is truly everything you have come to expect from Laura Kaye; well written and researched, characters that provoke emotion and a storyline that you can't kept getting wrapped up in.

With all that being said, I give Ride Rough 4 stars!
