About Ride Rough (Raven Riders #2, 4/25/17)
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.

My Review:
Ride Rough is the newest installment in Laura Kaye’s Raven Riders Series and the range of emotion I felt while reading Maverick and Alexa’s story was off the charts. I loved every second of it!
Maverick, like any of the Raven Riders crew, is loyal, tough, has a soft side, and won’t stand by when someone is being treated poorly….especially the love of his life. It didn’t make a difference that she was engaged to someone else now, he wasn’t going to let her continue to be treated like dirt by the man who supposedly loved her…and boy oh boy did I love him for it! His tough exterior with his soft interior had me swooning like a loon. He knew from the very beginning he had his work cut out for him when it came to Alexa and her current situation and did he ever. Lucky for Alexa, Mav was always up for a challenge! I loved Alexa just as much. Sure she was in a bit of a mess but deep down she knew the life she was living wasn’t a good one. She knew deep down she wasn’t safe in her relationship and even though she tried to deny it, I admire her for coming to terms with it. Together they can navigate any storm headed their way and I loved them together!
I also loved getting to see more of the Raven Riders/Hard Ink family. These books have some of the most memorable characters I’ve read and being able to catch up with some of the old crew, as well as getting to know the new crew is such a freaking treat.
Thank you, Ms. Kaye, for another amazing story! I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Five Loves
RIDE ROUGH by Laura Kaye – EXCERPT – Just this once
“I want you. Feels like I’ve been wanting you my whole life.” Alexa peered up at him, her eyes so vibrant they were nearly green.
Maverick pulled back, her words hitting him in all kinds of places, some comfortable, some even healing, but some less so. “You can’t toy with me, Alexa. Not when I’ve wanted you for so long. Not when I never wanted to let you go in the first place. This . . . this can just be fucking. But don’t you dare say anything you don’t mean.”
She stroked his hair. “Truth?”
He gave a tight nod and prepared for the worst, even as he hoped for a shot.
“Truth is, I don’t know what this means. Yet. I am so messed up right now. I’m not even going to hide that. But . . .” She tilted her head, and her expression was filled with something Mav didn’t want to name, but it sure as hell looked like affection. “But I know I want this. I want you, Maverick. Right now. And wanting you feels like one of the smartest decisions I’ve made in forever. Everything else be damned.” Her voice was shaky and breathy and her words were so full of dangerous, dangerous hope that Maverick didn’t dare move.
His muscles nearly shook with the force of his restraint, because his body was literally screaming at him. Screaming at him to just let go. “Fuck, Alexa.”
“I don’t want to hurt you. I never wanted to hurt you. But I want you. I want you inside me right now more than I want my next breath.”
Even though his mind was rolling out a list of all the reasons why this was a no good what the fuck are you thinking very bad idea, Maverick’s body grabbed the reins. On a groan, he went in for a kiss, rougher than he intended, but the moan she unleashed when his mouth crashed down on hers told him she didn’t mind. They fumbled with clothes. Her boxers. His jeans. Until they were both naked and pressed tight, all hot skin on skin, and his cock ground against her soft folds until she was mewling and writhing and silently pleading with the rough, desperate grip of her hands on his shoulders, his back, his ass.
A big part of Maverick wanted to pick Alexa up and carry her to his bed—where his heart said she belonged—but this wasn’t about that. At least not yet, and he wasn’t giving either of them any more time to think than he already had.
He needed her too damn bad. Just this once. In case that’s all it was.
And don’t miss all the books in the Raven Riders Series!
