    About this audiobook

    Brotherhood. Club. Family.
    They live and ride by their own rules.
    These are the Raven Riders...

    Maverick Rylan won’t apologize for who he is—the Raven Riders Motorcycle Club Vice-President, a sought-after custom bike builder, and a man dedicated to protecting those he loves. So when he learns that the only woman who has ever held his heart is in trouble, he’ll move heaven and earth to save her.

    Alexa Harmon thought she had it all—the security of a good job, a beautiful home, and a powerful, charming fiancé who offered the life she never had growing up. But when her dream quickly turns into a nightmare, Alexa realizes she’s fallen for a façade she can’t escape—until sexy, dangerous Maverick offers her a way out.

    Forced together to keep Alexa safe, their powerful attraction reignites and Maverick determines to do whatever it takes to earn a second chance—one Alexa is tempted to give. But her ex-fiancé isn’t going to let her go without a fight, one that will threaten everything they both hold dear.

      This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance SummaryMaverick Rylan, the Vice President of the Raven Riders, is worried about his girl, a woman he has loved for years who is in trouble. Alexa Harmon, once was in love with Maverick when she was young but when her brother died, she pushed him away. Alexa has rebuilt her life, she now has a career in interior design, a handsome fiancee and a beautiful home, what more could she ask for. But when her fiancee Grant, starts to become even more controlling, and being abusive. And when she starts to realize how he has treated her since meeting him and how he has changed her, she decides to take control of her life again. Maverick is her rock, and she realizes she never stopped loving him but her ex fiancee is becoming unhinged and could destroy what she has become with Maverick...Plot and Story LineRide Rough is the second book in this series, and I had a blast with this story and just like the first book I fell in love and it didn't take very long to do either. This author never ceases to amaze me with her stories, and Ride Rough kept me immersed. This story is wonderful, and not exactly what I was expecting to be honest, but I really enjoyed how it wasn't quite as dark as I was expecting it to be. Our heroine is suffering in a relationship, where she is being emotionally and slightly physically abused. From the beginning you see how manipulative and controlling her fiancee is, even if Alexa doesn't quite want to admit it to herself yet. Then our hero steps in. Maverick is simply delicious and one of my favorite heroes. I love how protect and loyal he is, true to his roots and his brothers but also to Alexa. I love how even though she pushed him away, he doesn't hold it against her, he has such a strong sense of empathy.You're a good man, Maverick Rylan. Better than I gave you credit for. But I see you now. I know it may be too late. But, God, I see youIn book one, we see a scene between these two, and it continues in this book. Its been a couple weeks following book one. Maverick has been hurt badly by Alexa, but hasn't stopped caring about her. I did enjoy seeing these two come back to each other again, although it is slow going. We get some great times with the Raven Riders Club again and we get to see some of our favorite character from book one. We see how close knit they are with each other, and the way they come together when something is wrong or when a woman is in trouble and needs their help. Their laughter and commadarie, is addicting and just brings a smile to the reader. And of course I need to mention the cat. Alexa's cat is hilarious. So funny."Was just thinking that Lucy could totally be the club's mascot. You need a biker name, though, " he said, hugging Lucy a little tighter to his chest as she tense at the clipping "Lucy" is cute and all but it doesn't really fit our vibe. Or the sweater I bought you. Maybe Lucky or Bones or...Slugger. Right?" The cat purred and stared at him "You like that idea, don't you? Yes, you do, kittykitty.""You are totally cooing at my cat right now.""Am not.""It's turning me on.""I'm totally cooing at your cat."I love how all the sweet feels you get from seeing this club. My only complaint is the ending, we kinda get a bit of a teaser cliffhanger dealing with supporting characters and I am hoping that book three will pick up right after this one.The CoverSexy and hot and I LOVE it....it has such a pretty cover that I want to pet.Overall ViewRide Rough is a sensational and emotionally in tuned romance, a slow burn second chance tale that wrapps around you like a warm blanket. A RIVETING ROMANCE LEAVES YOU SMILING!Say you'll be mine.That we'll ride through this life together, you and me against the world.Just like we said.
    • 5/5
      Great read and enjoyable and entertaining. The life that Maverick Rylan and Alexa Harman was faced with was challenged. But they find in themselves, the love, trust, and faith to fight the evil that s ready to destroy them including ending them for good.
    • 2/5
      After the death of her brother, Alexa Harmon leaves her Ravens MC boyfriend, Maverick Rylan, in order to find a safer and more stable relationship with a man who can offer financial security for herself and her mother. With only two weeks to go before her wedding, Alexa begins to wake up to the fact that her fiance, Grant is overly controlling and abusive. When she finally decides to leave Grant and return to Maverick, Grant becomes unhinged and violently stalks Alexa.
      Alexa's waffling back and forth between Maverick and Grant makes her a difficult character to like, and her internal monologues are long winded and repetitive. Early in the story when Alexa has made it clear that she no longer wants a relationship with Maverick, he continues to follow her around and watch her house making him seem like a stalker. The most interesting character in the book is Alexa's mother who is a hoarder. Overall, there just isn't enough character development or story to make this book very enjoyable.
    • 5/5
      Laura Kaye never disappoints! Her characters always suck me in and make me love, admire, want to be them. This is a second chance story and both the hero and heroine show how time and circumstance have allowed them to grow up. They are more mature, with a better understanding of the demands of a real relationship along with the hot spark of teenage hormones. Loved it!
