Synopsis
After spending the last two years stuck behind bars for a crime she didn’t commit, Harlow ‘Princess’ Gavelson’s time inside has finally come to an end, and she’s ready for revenge. Unfortunately, being the daughter to the Vice President of the Ravage Motorcycle Club cuts into her plans, as orders must be followed. Trying to settle back into this life is proving difficult when the tables are turned and the woman who framed her is out for blood. Lucky for Princess, growing up in a MC has taught her how to hold her own.
After spending years in hell overseas, Donavon ‘Cruz’ came home to lose the very thing he went into hell for, sending him to the darkest moments of his life. Joining Ravage two years ago was his safe haven, and he protects his family at all costs.
When a dark-haired bombshell struts into the club’s shop, he’s caught off guard but immediately knows she’s the one he’d do anything for. Tough as nails, and taking no crap from anyone, he’s captivated by a woman who could handle this life. Trying to meet the needs of the MC business and follow his heart proves to be difficult when the two collide, and lives are at stake.
Can these two find a way to be together, or will the needs of Ravage cost them everything, including their lives?

Review
I was given an ARC for an honest review and I honestly love MC genre books. So I was super excited to be given this opportunity.
Harlow (aka Princess) and Donovan Cruz (aka Cruz) are two alphas that have an attraction that just can’t be denied. After serving 2 years in prison for creative bookkeeping at her strip club (of course she was framed by another badass biker chick), Princess is ready for war and uses her connections with the Ravage MC to make that happen.
I liked the almost-instant connection between Princess and Cruz, but it might be a little too fast to be believable. Princess comes in and becomes a mom to Cruz’s kid within seconds of meeting the kid, and in my mind I really do not think until that point did she have a nurturing bone in her body.
While reading the book, I had to stop myself from comparing it to Madeline Sheehan’s books, the queen of the MC genre. I think that if the author were to elaborate more on the characters and their stories she could really become a powerhouse in the MC genre.
I think that this book hits all the necessary buttons, there’s biker drama, romance drama, repressed rape drama, and then there’s the best friend drama. There were some interesting activities, including Princess masturbating on her motorcycle and then fighting with bikers in a boxing ring, and I think the book could have done without some of those scenes!!!
Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and think that anyone who likes a biker bad boy would enjoy it too.
