Synopsis
With the looming threat from the Mancuso Crime Family, the Forsaken Motorcycle Club is preparing for a war that could destroy them. Grady, the club’s Sergeant-at-Arms, knows that love makes you weak, and he has zero interest in adding to his liabilities– especially now. He’s already got his teenage daughter who keeps him on his toes and a beef within the club that could fracture his relationship with a fellow brother for good.
For Holly Mercer, her life is finally getting on track and the last thing she wants is trouble from her hometown’s resident outlaws. Keeping her nose clean is easier said than done, when suddenly she finds herself embroiled in club business. Holly might like the idea of being with a real-life bad boy, but even being in the same room with tough-as-nails Grady flusters her.
When Holly inadvertently finds herself on Mancuso’s radar, she has two choices: trust that Grady will protect her, or continue to refuse the club’s help. Both roads are dangerous, but only one has the chance to damage her beyond repair.
Love is never more dangerous than when it can destroy you.

Review
The Mancuso family is still a threat to the Forsaken MC and they make their presence known to the club. As the club's Sergeant-At-Arms, he has his hands full with club business and his teenage daughter, Cheyenne. Holly Mercer is a distraction he doesn't need right now, or more like ever.
Holly Mercer is finally getting her life on track and where she wants it to be, but that's easier said then done. Especially when as her job as secretary, she's left in charge of handling senior Cheyenne Grady. Cheyenne and Jeremy are both big problems at their high school, but for some reason, she's been left in charge of Cheyenne. For months, she tries to get a hold of her father, but every time she does, he either doesn't answer or hangs up on her. Holly can't understand why Grady is avoiding here, she's not even sure who he is. So after months of him dodging her, she finally shows up at his doorstep. What she doesn't expect to find is Grady riding up ob his motorcycle and sparking desire deep within her. She hates him instantly, but cannot help how her body feels about him. Same thing happens with Grady, but he refuses to allow love to enter his life. He's seen what love does and has experienced it and it's not something he needs in his life right now.
From then on, they fight and bicker every time they see one another and it appears that's all they'll ever do. That is until Holly inadvertently puts herself in the target path of the Mancuso family and Grady must do everything he can to protect not only her, but his heart as well. Can Holly convince Grady that everyone deserves to be loved?
I've always been a huge fan of this series and was looking forward to this release. As always JC didn't disappoint. I loved the interaction between Grady and Holly and on more than one occasion they had me laughing out loud. Not to mention the relationship that developed between Holly and Cheyenne. This novel was by far the best on in the series so far, and I cannot wait for the release of Crush to see what happens between Jeremy and Cheyenne. I hope to see more of this series or a similar one in the future as this has been a great series thus far. If you loved the first two books in this series, this isn't one you want to me. If you haven't read any of them, what are you waiting for? Pick up your copy today, 5 stars.

Ride Blurb:
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.
Thrash Blurb:
Loneliness suffocates the heart. Acceptance breaks down walls.
As a Lost Girl to the Forsaken Motorcycle Club, Nicole Whelan knows how to party. She’s not cut-out for relationships and her life is way too complicated for anything more than casual encounters. But one night when she falls into Duke’s bed at the clubhouse, he sees something in her that he can’t let go of—no matter how many times she tries to run.
Having been left to raise her teenage brother, Jeremy, she’s already got her hands full and isn’t looking for anymore complications. But Duke’s just watched his best friend fall for the only girl he couldn’t have, and then almost lose her so shortly after, shaking him to his core. Faced with his own loneliness, he’s more determined than ever to break down Nic’s walls and show her that he can be good for her; but he’s got a bad track record and she’s got a bad temper. Changing his ways isn’t easy when he’s not sure what he’s even changing for.
The violence and turmoil are at an all-time high, and Forsaken is in a vulnerable place when a twist of fate breathes new life into the club. It’s a much-needed beacon of hope for the embattled biker family, even if everyone’s not exactly on board. With Duke and Nic’s relationship already on shaky ground, and something even more important at stake, the Forsaken Motorcycle Club will fight like hell to keep their family together and whole.
Love is never more precious than when it’s new.
***Also don't miss Crush, coming June 10th***
Young love is always perfect. Until it's not.
Cheyenne Grady is a total daddy's girl to her bad-ass father, the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Forsaken Motorcycle Club. She's funny, and kind, and she just wants that deep, earth-shattering love like her dad has with her school secretary, Holly. But Cheyenne's been looking in the wrong direction, because the only good that can come from the way she looks at Jeremy Whelan is a lesson in heartbreak.
Jeremy always wanted to prospect for the Forsaken Motorcycle Club and wear the same patch as his father. When a life-long dream becomes reality, Jeremy realizes that the outlaw lifestyle is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it easy on relationships. He wants to be a good man, but temptation is everywhere.
Cheyenne is beautiful, and strong, and exactly what Jeremy could have forever. As long as he doesn't screw it up.
Love is never more powerful than the first time.
