Death comes in Armani. Salvation
comes in leather.
Principessa to the Mancuso crime family, Alexandra knows a thing or two about living outside the bounds of the law. Suffocated by the future her father has laid out for her, she makes a choice she can't take back, changing the entire trajectory of her life.
Thrust into the dark and dangerous world of the Forsaken Motorcycle Club for her own protection, Alex finds herself faced with the last thing she needs right now: the man of her dreams. He’s sex in leather, the devil incarnate, and one hell of a kisser. But he’s also off-limits. Ryan Stone can be her friend, but he’s forbidden to be her lover.
Third-generation Forsaken, Ryan knows nothing other than life on two wheels, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He enjoys the many privileges that come with the patch, and the only laws he recognizes are the ones set-forth by his club. That is, until who he wants more than anything isn’t allowed on the back of his bike —or in his bed. Balancing his desire for her body, and need to keep her safe, Ryan tries to keep Alex at a distance. Finally having made a choice for herself, she’s done hearing the word “no” and will push boundaries even Ryan himself doesn’t dare cross.
Love is never more tempting than when it’s forbidden.

Ride is the first book in the Bayonet scars series, and what a ride it was! Alex and Ryan are to die for, and if you don’t fall in love with Ryan by the end of the book something’s wrong with you!! Ok, enough about the yummy Ryan for the moment, let’s talk about Alex. Alex is the daughter of a top dog New York mob boss and she is basically a mafia princess. She hates her mob life, told to do and act a certain way, where and when to go, it’s just not how she wants to live. She even has to marry the man her father picked out for her. But really, what can she do, she’s stuck in her high class prison. That is until she makes a snap decision that will forever change her life, and put it in danger from her own family. For her protection she is handed over, by her aunt Gloria, to a motorcycle club called FORSAKEN. It is here, on the long trip from New York to California, she meets Ryan. She is instantly attracted to him. But damn, she is told right out of the gate that he is forbidden to her, and the same with Ryan. The more they are around one another the harder it is to fight. Going ahead with it for Ryan would be disastrous, he’d lose his patch. He’s determined, not only to push her away but also…um…,”get her out of his system”. His thinking is if he just sleeps with her he can move on to the next woman, like he always has. So he does and for the most part it works. Soon Alex’s life is threated when the mob finds out where she is, and Ryan is stuck to her like glue. He has vowed to let nothing happen to her. Is it just a job or is there more to it?
I very much enjoyed this book. It
was a fast read for me, I wanted to know what would happen ( which I pretty
much guessed) and I also could not get enough of the back and forth between
Alex and Ryan. They were constantly down each other’s throats. One thing I
could have done with less of was all the crying Alex did, I’m hoping in the
next book she toughens up. I think she was already starting to at the end, but
we’ll see. Other than that small detail it was pretty awesome. It sure kept my
attention, from start to finish! I give Ride 4 stars.
