Rule by Caitlyn Dare {a review}

Rule is the third, and final installment in River's storyline within the Red Ridge Sinners series from Caitlyn Dare. I'm not ready for it to be over, but thankfully Kat has her story coming soon! The other good news is that River and her guys are finally getting their happily ever after. So that is always something to look forward to!

Rule picks up right where Reap left off. We're jumping right into the action, and nothing is held back. Hold on to your hats, because this book is going to take you on a wild ride. There are going to be twists and turns that you didn't see coming, and you may find your jaw dropping like I did.

Rule was absolutely fantastic. all of the storylines were wrapped up, and there was no lingering questions when it came to this foursome. The journey toward their happily ever after was was something else entirely. Right when you think it's going to happen, here comes the twist. That twist also hits the emotions pretty strongly.

I want to say something about the moment with the Night Crawlers and The Sinners, but I can't. It would spoil things. But there is something that happens that just has you questioning everything. It was at this point where I was trying to solve the mystery by taking a look at all the possible suspects. Even The Sinners were not escaping my scrutiny. Once things were revealed though, it all made sense. That's all I can say on that without ruining your reading experience.

We get to meet Zach's mom in this book too. Prepare yourself for that, because she had me laughing. She wasn't afraid to ask the questions that many people probably wonder, and I loved her for that. It was the perfect comedic moment that this emotional story needed.

Now I've said since the first book that River's age was an issue for me. That holds true. I can't deny it. She consented though to everything, so I need to look at it from that point of view. Here's the thing though, I can't lie about the fact that I did enjoy the relationships that River found herself in. Each of those men brought out a different side of her, and in a way she brought out a different side of them. She helped these men to be vulnerable.

As for the suspense of the book? Hands down loved it. Caitlyn Dare has drawn me in with these MC romances, and I find myself gravitating toward them. I am excited to read Kat's story, especially knowing what I do about her love interests at this point. I'm curious to see how it all plays out, and what Diesel's reaction/response is to it all. 

Oh, and if you're wondering, Diesel is my favorite. Daddy D has had my attention from the beginning.

One last tidbit I want to touch on is the fact that there are content warnings for this book. The majority pertain to Jax. We all know that man has been through some very rough times in his childhood that have scarred him to this day. If you need to know the specific content warnings, send a message on Instagram, Facebook, or through email and I will fill you in. 

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on Rule. This MC romance trilogy was absolutely fabulous. Caitlyn Dare has created an amazing group of characters, and the storytelling is top notch. These books are hard to put down, and they just grab ahold of your attention. Everything is just background noise while reading these stories.

Happy Reading,
Laura





The truth is out—I’m in love with three Sinners. 

Zach, Jax, and Diesel might want to make me theirs but there’s still too many secrets between us, ones that could ruin everything.

Ones that could break us.

They might rule my body.
Own my heart.
But ultimately, they have the power to break me.

Only it isn’t our future we have to worry about, because the past is about to catch up with us. And when it does…

Nothing will ever be the same again. 

RULE is a full length dark enemies-to-lovers/bully romance. This is a why choose novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. It is book three in the series.

Reap by Caitlyn Dare {a review}


The Red Ridge Sinners MC series from bestselling author Caitlyn Dare continues… REAP is a full length dark enemies-to-lovers/bully romance. This is a why choose novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. It is book two in the series, and it must be read in order. So start with Ruin.

As this is a story in progress, I cannot recap what I read without spoiling what happened in Ruin. So please forgive me for not recapping the story. Let's jump into my random thoughts (aka my review).

First things first, Jax's storyline broke my heart. I was not prepared for the secrets that he was holding. I don't think we know the full truth yet, and that is going to be even more devastating. I did appreciate that Zach, Diesel, and River were there for him.

Rhett continues to have me shake my head with his big brother antics. I cannot wait for his reaction once things come to light.

Kat has my attention, and while I read the first part of her story in Dare, I cannot wait for Defy: A MFM Romance to be released so I can continue her storyline. Also, what happens in Dare takes place during this book. So if you want to know what's going on with Kat, go download Dare from the author's website.

Zach's background being revealed is raising some flags, and I am curious to see how all of that plays out. He is an interesting character who is playing things close to the vest.

Diesel has me wondering when he's going to cave, and get out of his head. What will it take for him to go for what he wants?

I'm glad that River finally spoke about what happened in Colton. That truth is out there and it no longer needs to sit upon her shoulders. The reaction to that was just what I expected it to be, and what happened after was also right in line with what I had envisioned.

The big moment that happened has my curiosity piqued. I think I know who is behind it all, and I have this feeling that a couple storylines are going to tie together. Time will tell.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to be waiting as patiently as I can for Rule.

Highly suggest you pick up this series. I can't lie, I still struggle with River's age. Yet the storyline has drawn me in, and that is why I stay.

Thank you for reading my random thoughts. Go read the Red Ridge Sinners, and fall for these characters. They really start to feel like family.

Laura




I never imagined falling for a Red Ridge Sinner… let alone three.

But here I am, sneaking around with Diesel, Zach, and Jax, willing to risk the consequences for just one more kiss or touch or moment.

They get me. Understand what I need, and how to make me soar. But every time we find ourselves in the dark, stealing precious minutes together, reality closes in around us.

One of them is broken.

One wants to do the right thing.

And one of them refuses to admit what I already know. I’m willing to fight for them… All of them. 

Even if it goes against everyone’s expectations of me. Even if it upsets the people I love.

Even if it makes me a target for our enemies.

Ruin by Caitlyn Dare {a review}

Ruin, is a new dark romance from Caitlyn Dare.  This is a full length dark enemies-to-lovers/bully romance that also features the why choose trope. Why choose is also known as reverse harem, and it means the main character has more than one love interest. It is book one in the series, and the series needs to be read in order. This book will end in a cliffhanger!

I have been EAGERLY anticipating this book since I finished the Savage Falls Sinners series. From the very moment River was introduced, she had my attention. I knew there was more to her story. Then when things were happening with Jax, but weren't shared in Sadie's story, I was hoping that River was getting a story. Well here we are!

Before we jump into any talk about the book, I do want it to be known that there are consensual nonconsent scenes in this book, and there is also the mention of previous assault. So keep that in mind as you read in case those are triggering for you.

What can I tell you about Ruin? River is in her junior year of high school, and feels as though she's on her own. Sadie is busy with Rhett, Dane, and Wes, while Quinn is busy with Killian, and Ray has club business to attend to. Then there is everything that went down with Jax, and that practically destroyed her. River is heartbroken. Then there are things from her past that are trying to reveal themselves, and she doesn't want those secrets to be revealed. Everyone thinks she's this quiet, innocent girl, but in reality that's not her any longer. But then there's also the fact that she kissed Diesel, and he shut her down quickly. So she's licking her wounds from that one too. As for Jax, he's heartbroken too, but issues from his past are forcing him to push River away so that harm doesn't come to her. When it comes to Diesel, he doesn't want to take advantage of River, and plus she's his little sister's best friend. So that is a no go, but yet the attraction is there. Then there's Zach. He is a bit of an enigma. We know he's from the same town as River, and we know he has preconceived notions when it comes to her. Yet he is also here in Red Ridge hiding out, and from what? Will River and Jax be able to repair their relationship? Can River and Diesel just be friends? What will it take for Zach to change his tune about River? Also, what's going on with Kat (Diesel's sister/River's Best Friend)?

I enjoyed just about every moment of this story. I only had one complaint, and I'll get that out of the way now, and then we can focus on the rest of the story. River's age was my bone of contention. In this new adult romance, River is a junior in high school, and is 17 years old. So she's a minor. If this were a YA romance where the love interest is the also a minor, I wouldn't have an issue. But the fact that she is a minor, and her love interests are not, is what I struggle with. Does it affect the story itself? NO. Do I wish she were of legal age? Absolutely. This is a "me" issue though, and not a storyline issue.

Moving on...

River continues to hold my attention. From the moment we first met her in Savage, to this book here, she has come across as this sweet, quiet, little innocent being. What we are finding though is that she's had on an extremely strong mask, and that mask is starting to slip.


The picture of innocence and naïveté. That's what people think. But they don't know-they don't know what nightmares lurk beneath the surface.


Something happened to River when she was living in Colton, and I have a feeling that will be revealed sooner rather than later. I mean we did get a smidgen revealed, but full story is coming, I know it. So not only is River dealing with that, she's also dealing with the fact that Sadie has moved on leaving her behind, Jax did what he did, and then Diesel said what he said. River is going through a lot, and she feels lonely. She just wants someone in her corner. Someone she can authentic with. She's looking for a safe place to land. I will say I'm a bit worried about when Rhett finds out River's secret. I think big brother is going to go ballistic, and try to scorch the earth.

Shall we talk about her love interests?

Jax and River had been forced together, so to speak, when River first moved to town. Jax was entrusted to protect her, to keep her safe. He wasn't supposed to fall. Yet he did. Now he's pushing her away for reasons we don't fully understand. The secret he is keeping is bubbling to the surface, just waiting to pop, and I think it's going to be a doozy. I feel like that incident on his bike is related to this secret. And everything that happened with that scene has me intrigued. This thought by Jax had my heart shattering a bit.

They say if you love someone, you should set them free. Well, spread your wings River. You're too damn good to be shackled to the likes of me.


Diesel may very well be my favorite. He could be the safe place that River needs. He has that vibe of comfort. I feel he's keeping something quiet as well, but it isn't to the level of Jax or Zach. There is something under the surface though, and I look forward to that being revealed. I did want to smack him when he said what he did to River. I get it, he's trying to protect himself, as well as River's relationship with Kat (his sister). Yet at the same time, he didn't need to say it. He could have worded it way differently. But again, heat of the moment, and his brain didn't catch up. I did love when River called him out though.

"You're a coward, Diesel Walker. I know I'm in high school and I know you're my friend's big brother, but life isn't perfect. It's messy and hard, and it doesn't always fit society's norm. I might only be seventeen, but I'm not a child. I haven't been for a long time."


Lastly we have Zach. This man of mystery is a jackass. From the moment he first appeared in the club, I despised him. From the way he speaks to River, to what happened in the alleyway, to just his stalkerish tendencies, I don't trust him. Not one bit. Zach rubs me the wrong way, but I have a feeling is going to redeem himself. What is he hiding from though? Why did he leave Colton? Why is he with the Red Ridge Sinners? Part of me wonders if it is related to what Jax is hiding. I say that only because I can't imagine two huge storylines like that happening in this one series. So yeah.

There were definitely some steamy moments in this book, but it was also a pretty good slow burn. You could feel the tension building while in slow burn mode, and it was excellent.

Speaking of steamy moments, what happened on the rooftop, and what led to that cliffhanger, um WHAT? Like not the steamy part, that's whatever. But who appeared , what happened next, and how we are left not knowing the outcome, UGH! What just happened? Why did it have to happen that way? I'm speechless.

I know that was really vague, and it was completely intentional. 

If you are a fan of MC romances, of RH romances, or just of Caitlyn Dare's writing, you need to go read this book now. Even more so if you read the Savage Falls Sinners series, because you know a bit about River.

Thank you for reading my thoughts on Ruin. Highly recommend. I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads. Honestly my issue with River's age is what held it back from a 4.5. Still though, go read it. Enjoy the ride with me.

Laura



My whole life I’ve been treated like some innocent naïve girl. Shielded from the dark and dangerous world my big brother inhabits.

But not any longer.

Now, Savage Falls is my home, the Sinners MC, my family. I’m the new club princess, a burden I neither want nor need.

Because I’m not as innocent as they all think. 

Not by a long shot.

Not when I spend most of my days dreaming of them. Club prospect Jax Pitman, my best friend’s older brother Diesel Walker, and the Red Ridge Chapter’s newest bad boy Zach Stone.

One of them broke my heart.

One refuses to fix it.

And one of them is slowly bringing me back to life.

But together… 

Together, they might just ruin me.

Crank by Caitlyn Dare {a review}

Crank by Caitlyn Dare is NOW AVAILABLE! This little novella is the kick off to the upcoming Red Ridge Sinners MC series. I'm here for it! I had been hoping for something like this. 

We first met Crank in the Savage Falls Sinners MC series by Caitlyn Dare. In that series, we noticed him taking an interest in Quinn Renshaw. Yes, the same Quinn who wants nothing to do with guys in the club. She's trying to distance herself from that life. Yet Crank has her curiosity piqued. Which he shouldn't because he's older than her. Plus, what would her parents say?

I want more of their story! I'm greedy. I don't care. I can only hope that when River's story starts that we will see Quinn and Crank in the background. Maybe gleaning little snippets here and there. This age gap, hate to love romance had me from the beginning. Maybe it's because of my curiosity while reading Sacred, or maybe it's just these two characters. From the initial denial of interest, to the slight chase, to the jealousy, to the desire, to their happily ever after, I was ALL IN! I will say the one thing that I struggled with was Quinn's age. She's a senior in high school, so this relationship is quite forbidden. If you struggle with that age gap, this isn't the book for you.

Loved the characters. Loved reconnecting with the Savage Falls Sinners. Loved seeing little bits and pieces of the Red Ridge Sinners clubhouse, as well as their group members. My interest is definitely there for River's series, and I am looking forward to Ruin when it releases in February.

Have you read Crank? How about the Savage Falls Sinners series? Highly recommend. Especially if you enjoy MC series.

Laura



My name is Quinn Renshaw, and my father is the VP of the Savage Falls Sinners MC.

But I refuse to be a club princess.

I want more from life. I want to graduate and go to college and spread my wings. I want a life beyond Savage Falls and club life.

Until him.

Killian Crankton, VP of the Red Ridge Reapers.

He looks at me and I feel things. Things I don’t want to feel. Dangerous, deadly things. Things that will end up with my heart in tatters.

Because I’m about to find out that Crank will do anything to get wants he wants.

Especially me.

 You may recall that I recently read the Savage Falls Sinners MC series that Caitlyn Dare released. In my review for Sever, the final book of the series, I mentioned that I was anticipating the Red Ridge Sinners MC series. After all that series is supposed to be about River, so I was intrigued. I also said that I didn't know if Quinn had her story told yet, but something was definitely going on with Crank, and I NEEDED that story.


UM, THERE'S A BOOK!

Somehow I missed out on the knowledge that Quinn and Crank's story was part of the Brutal Boys Anthology that had been released.
