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

Wild with grief over the death of his wife, Sam “Slider” Evans merely lives for his two sons. Nothing holds his interest anymore—not even riding his bike or his membership in the Raven Riders Motorcycle Club. But that all changes when he hires a new babysitter.
Recently freed from a bad situation by the Ravens, Cora Campbell is determined to bury the past. When Slider offers her a nanny position, she accepts, needing the security and time to figure out what she wants from life. Cora adores his sweet boys, but never expected the red-hot attraction to their brooding, sexy father. If only he would notice her...
Slider does see the beautiful, fun-loving woman he invited into his home. She makes him feel too much, and he both hates it and yearns for it. But when Cora witnesses something she shouldn’t have, the new lives they’ve only just discovered are threatened. Now Slider must claim—and protect—what’s his before it’s too late.

I can say unequivocally that I have fallen hard for the men of the Raven Riders.  I was pretty much sold after Ride Hard and with each novel; Laura Kaye draws me in even more.  I normally don’t read a lot of MC books.  I struggle with the lifestyle portrayed in a lot of them.  It’s just not my cup of tea.  But these men, while rough and ready, are also honorable in their own way.  And Kaye is not as “in your face” about the lifestyle most MCs lead.

Cora is strong, kind, and sweet.  She’s also hiding a horrible secret.  Slider is guarded and withdrawn but a good father.  He’s got scars and secrets of his own.  The connection between the two of them is sweet and tender.  Don’t get me wrong, Slider is a complete alpha—possessive and protective but Cora and his kids bring out the soft side of him.  Time to add another Raven to the book boyfriend list.  The chemistry between the two is red hot.  I was totally fanning myself.  They are well-developed, full of layers and each with their own strengths and flaws.  And I loved seeing the rest of the Raven club and seeing peeks into what’s going on with Dare, Haven, Maverick, and Alexa. 


There’s plenty of mystery interwoven into the romance to keep anyone entertained and on the edge of their seat.  At points I found myself closing my eyes because I just didn’t want to see what happened next (Yes, I’m a wimp, I proudly admit it…).  If you’ve never read a Laura Kaye novel, I’m begging you to give the Ravens a chance.

From Ride Wild:

“I don’t know how I’m going to do this.”

“Do what?” Of course, healing from this was going to take some time. And he’d help her with that however he could. And forgiving herself, well, even when there was nothing to forgive, it was possible to beat yourself up till the end of time. Slider knew that too damn well, didn’t he? As for getting justice—or revenge—the Ravens had already taken care of that when they’d killed her degenerate drunk of a father at their racetrack the night Haven’s father attacked the club.

But none of that was what she meant. Instead, she surprised the hell out of him—not with what she revealed, exactly, because he had an inkling. But instead she surprised him with her courage. “Pretend that I don’t have feelings for you,” she said.

If she hadn’t owned him already, she did as of that very moment. Emotion this in his throat, he tried to tell her. “I’ve been such a fucking wreck, Cora.”

“I know. I didn’t admit that to try to make you say anything back.”

He cupped her face in his hand, because he sure as shit was going to respond to that. “I’m a wreck, and I’d convinced myself that I always would be. But lately, I’ve been trying. I’ve been better. Hopeful, for the first time in years.” Admitting that should’ve been freeing, and it was. But, maybe ridiculously, it was also scary as fuck. Because when you’d become wed to a certain narrative of your life, letting go of it threatened to crumble the ground beneath your feet, leaving you with no idea where you’d be left standing when the dust settled.

Her expression went so, so soft. For him. “I’m really glad of that, Slider. So glad you feel better.”

“It’s you, Cora. It’s me, too, some. But you worked your way into my heart and my head and my house and my whole life until I could see again that I had a life. One I’d been neglecting. One I hadn’t been appreciating. So I don’t know how I’m going to pretend either. And frankly, I don’t want to, not anymore. Because I care about you, too. And not just as a friend.”

“You…really?” she asked, her eyes so wide and her face so damn pretty.

God, she didn’t get it, did she? Just how much she’d done to change his life…But he was going to make sure she did from here on out. “Really. I don’t know where we go or what we call it or how public we go with it, but there’s something here. And I want it. I want you.”

 Review
I’m not a huge fan of MC romances.  That kind of lifestyle isn’t a turn on for me.  But I am a fan of Laura Kaye’s Hard Ink series so when I heard she was doing a spin-off about the Raven Riders we meet during that series, I was definitely intrigued.  I had to see how she would spin this.  And color me impressed.  The Ravens are a different breed of MC.  Oh, they are still rough, skirting the edge of the law but they also protect the weak and vulnerable.  It’s a completely different lifestyle then what I think of when I think of MC. 

Haven is skittish, timid and shy.  Her life up to this point has been pure and utter shit.  There’s no way to sugar coat it.  This girl has had it rough.  And when she got the balls to run away, she landed in more hot water.  Luckily, the Hard Ink guys rescued her and got her a safe place to stay with the Ravens.    Dare knows what it’s like to have a shit life.  He had it too until he was able to get to his grandfather.  Now he does everything in his power to make sure that he and his brothers can make things better for others.  He’s protective, honorable and downright sexy.  The connection between these two is palpable.  And while the sex was hot, there was a sweetness to their relationship as well.

There’s some great character development here.  You really get to see Haven grow and there’s some growth in Dare as well.  Plus both of them have elaborate backstories and have complex personalities with strengths, weaknesses and flaws.  The secondary characters are just as amazing.  You really get a sense that this is a brotherhood…a family.   This book is low drama but high action.  With all that was going on, the romance could have easily been lost in the shuffle but Kaye struck a good balance between romance and action.  I was captivated and entertained throughout. 


This was a fantastic book.  Definitely a different take on an MC lifestyle, so if you’ve shied away from them in the past, don’t be afraid to pick this one up.  If you’re a fan of them, there should still be enough action to keep your engines revving.  These guys have all the hallmarks of some fabulous anti-heroes.  I cannot wait to see where else Kaye takes us in this series.  -Peace and Love, Buxom J

 Excerpt

“So much better out here,” Haven said, the night air cool against the tingling warmth of her skin. Although she was pretty sure that not all of the heat burning through her insides was from the alcohol—her unusual flirtatiousness and closeness to Dare over the past half hour had made her desperate with a heat that had nothing to do with her drinking game.
She walked to the railing and leaned against it, chuckling a little at herself for needing the support it offered. She felt so damn free, and it was a heady, exhilarating thing.

“What’s funny?” Dare asked, settling a hip against the railing right beside her. Arms crossed, jaw ticking with tension, dark eyes blazing, he was staring at her like he wanted to reprimand her or devour her. Oddly, neither alarmed her the way she would’ve expected it to.

Haven shook her head, leaning it back and letting her gaze float over the night sky. Blurry points of light swam in the moonlit heavens. It was beautiful and peaceful despite the pounding bass beat of music thumping from inside the clubhouse. “Not funny, just good. Happy, you know? Being able to do something a little . . . scary, but knowing I’d be safe doing it.” When Dare’s gaze narrowed, she shrugged. “I don’t know.”

A long moment passed before Dare finally spoke. “You are safe here, Haven. Never doubt it.”

Peering up at him, she nodded, all kinds of words sitting on the tip of her tongue, challenging her to let them fly. “It’s weird feeling safe—or at least safer—after a lifetime of not. It makes me want to try things I could never let myself try before. It makes me . . .” She shook her head and dipped her chin.

Dare stepped closer, his thighs coming up against her hip. He lifted her chin and made her look at him. The contact combined with the command in the gesture lanced white-hot desire through her veins. “Makes you what?”

“Want to feel alive,” she whispered, her heart suddenly racing in her chest.

Dare’s jaw ticked again as his gaze swept over her face. She didn’t think she was imagining the raw emotion pouring off of him and wrapping around her, but she wasn’t sure if she was reading that emotion right or projecting her own desire onto him.

“Do you feel alive, Dare?” she asked, the alcohol flowing through her and the night spinning around her like she was walking through a dream.

“Jesus,” he bit out.

The rough desperation in his voice made her wet between her legs. “Just once,” she whispered, not sure what she was asking him for.

But he seemed to know. Because his hand was suddenly tangled in her hair and his mouth was suddenly on hers, claiming, probing, tasting. 

Haven moaned and parted her lips, inviting him deeper.

Dare jerked back from her, his fingers rubbing roughly over his lips. “Fuck, I’m sorry.”

On instinct, Haven’s body pursued his, pinning his back to the railing. “Please don’t stop,” she said as her hands gripped his shoulders. She had the strongest urge to climb him, to wrap her legs around him, to grind against the hard bulge pressing electrically against her belly.

“Please,” she whispered, tilting her mouth toward his. “I liked it.”

Dare’s hand cupped the back of her head. “You’re killing me.”

“Dare,” she said, her body restless against his.

In a move that sent the world spinning, he flipped them around so that she was the one pinned against the railing. He pushed his legs between hers and leaned down over her, forcing her to arch her back, to yield, to open to him. “Tell me what you want from me. Say the words,” he said, his eyes absolutely on fire.

Her heart was a runaway train in her chest, frantic and picking up speed. The thought of giving voice to her desires was terrifying and thrilling and dizzying all at once.

“I want your mouth,” she said. The words sounded odder out loud than they had in her head, but they were more accurate than asking him to kiss her—because her mouth wasn’t the only place she wanted his.

“Jesus,” he rasped again, his mouth coming down on hers once more.

The whimper she released was part relief, part anticipation. It had been so long since she’d kissed someone that she felt a little uncertain, but Dare’s intensity barely allowed her the capacity to worry about it. He was like a dark storm bearing down on her, relentless, magnetic, all-consuming.

Rough callouses from his hands scratched against her cheeks as he guided her. Hard breaths spilled over her lips, and the wet slide of his tongue tasted like whiskey and desire and man. Her hands found the soft length of his hair, and her breasts pushed against the hard plane of his chest.

Then her lips were freed as his mouth slid over her skin—exploring her cheek, her jaw, her ear, her neck. He hiked her up to sit on the wide railing, the move surprising a gasp out of her, especially as he crowded the space between her legs, pushing himself closer, bringing his erection against the place between her legs craving friction, hardness, so much more of him. Maybe even all of him.

One strong arm wrapped around her back and held her steady, while the other hand stroked her hair, her face, her breast. The soft groans and breathy grunts spilling out of him were delicious and thrilling, and bolstered her confidence that she wasn’t the only one losing herself in this moment, in these touches. She almost couldn’t believe this was happening, and part of her was certain she must be dreaming. Because Haven Randall didn’t have beautiful things in her life. At least, never before.

And don’t miss all the books in the Raven Riders Series!
