Author: Chelsea Camaron
Genre: MC Romance
Delilah “Doll” Reklinger never imagined her life with anyone that wasn’t a Hellion. She never imagined there would be a Hellion that could prove himself worthy enough to her father, Roundman, Hellions Club President. Content in living in the bubble of safety the motorcycle club family has always provided, Doll never thought that danger surrounded her.
Roundman has kept the Hellions contained for the last thirty years by controlling the chaos surrounding their lifestyle. When the dangerous side to their business comes knocking on his door, he realizes his precious Doll isn’t safe. The Hellions code may be that women and children are off limits in any altercation or dispute, but that doesn’t mean their enemies follow that same moral compass.
His only child, now in danger from the association to him and his club, Roundman makes a decision. He sends her away with a charter club member that he trusts, in hopes that the trouble won’t follow.
One ride across the country. One simple ride. Talon “Tripp” Crews has been ordered to take Doll on one ride away and to keep her safe. She’s off limits. His head knows this, but his body can’t deny the attraction. She’s feisty, fierce, and fearless.
Constantly in close confines together, can they deny the chemistry? Will they give into the desire? Can one ride turn lust into love?

"Doll" is the Hellions MC Princess, daughter of the Mother Chapter's President "Roundman".
"Tripp" is the President of one of the Hellions' charters' a few hours away.
When Doll inadvertently gets a target on her, and the other Hellions girls' backs, Tripp and Rex (his cousin and fellow MC brother) take Doll and "Sass", the other club princess (herself hurting from an apparent rejection by Hellions member "Tank" and wanting to turn her back on the club) on a ride around America until Roundman and the Hellions can take care of the problem.
By the time it is safe for them to return however, lives have been lost, love has been found and a certain brother is literally in a fight of life or death.
I really liked this book, I found Chelsea's style of writing very easy to read, the men sounded bada$$, the sexy times were HOT and the storyline was good. I really hope Sass and Tank are next, I HAVE to know what happens with them. I give One Ride 4.5 stars.

Events happen in life that can awaken our truest and deepest desires. They also show us our greatest fears. Sometimes we are forced to face those fears, other times we build walls that can't be broken to protect ourselves.
A profound connection these two once shared. A strong friendship once formed was shattered. Fate has stepped in and shaken both their worlds.
The danger, the wild, the chaos, and the lifestyle of the Hellions world has become far too much for Savannah 'Sass' Perchton. Swearing off bikers and attempting a 'normal' life, she has settled. She's committed to Nick, her country club, pretty boy. She's found a way to be content.
Things aren't always what they seem. Wrap an empty box in pretty paper and a bow, it may look amazing, but it's still a hollow shell.
He's a Hellions playboy. A different chick in his bed, off on a different ride, and always something new. He's Frank the 'Tank' Oleander, Haywood's Hellions Road Chief. Throttle down and life is good.
The fast pace of the Hellions life catches up to him. At a crossroads, he's forced to face some life changing thoughts or succumb to the darkness of death. Teetering on the brink of giving in, her voice is all he's holding onto. The coma he can't pull himself out of, but her voice is the light in the darkness. He wants the girl who pulled him through when his life was literally in the balance.
She's sworn off bikers. Can he pull through? Can she ever see past the lifestyle to the heart of the man behind the cut? Will they find their Forever Ride?

Yes! Tank and Sass's story. I really wanted this to be their book so yay.
The first half of the book, from Tank's POV, is all from his hospital bed, where he struggles to get his body to do what his mind is telling it to do.
Savannah "Sass" has followed through with her decision and left the Hellions behind, opting to take a chance on a future with Nick.
Oh wow, this might sound weird, but I spent the bulk of this book feeling a little "off". By that I mean, reading about what was happening to these two people just made me feel concerned for them, sick for what was going to happen... will Tank be ok? Will Sass be ok? Will they end up ok and together? Yes, I know I'm weird being worried for fictional characters, but I guess it's just a sign of how drawn into this story I was, which in my mind can only be a good thing.. right? Or am I just weird? lol
Forever ride gets 4.5 stars from me.

Mercy is no friend of mine. Karma, she has yet to show kindness to me.
The hits just keep on coming for Tessie Marie Harlow. She has never had an easy life. Her mom disabled, her dad long gone, and a single mom raising a rambunctious little boy, that’s Tessie’s world.
Her childhood aspirations to be a nurse long since disappeared after a college spring fling both blessed and burdened her with a baby boy. Dropping out of school, she returns to her hometown and begins to settle in. Getting the only job she could as a bartender she spends her days caring for her son and nights serving the Hellions Motorcycle Club and their affiliates.
Tired of waiting for Rex to grow up, she’s faced with the bane existence of her life until one night changes everything. In the darkest hour of her merciless ride through life, she’s saved by a quiet, laid back Hellion.
Andy ‘Shooter’ Jenkins has always been around. Too wrapped in Rex she has never really noticed him before. He has never been loud or known to have the girls hanging all over him. He is a mystery. A chance encounter brings him to her rescue not once but twice.
The Desert Ghosts Motorcycle Club are in town and bring their own brand of chaos right to Tessie’s door. Forced into her day to day life, Shooter is doing everything he can to shelter and protect her as lines are crossed and a war between two clubs begins.
Secrets revealed putting two brothers in the Hellions Motorcycle Club at a serious crossroads in their lives.
This is not a ride for pleasure. This is not a ride for safety. This is not a ride for love. This is a ride for endurance. Mercy has never once shined her grace down for these two, but in the midst of the danger and lies can they learn to rely on one another and ride it out together?

My favourite so far. Originally a side character, this is Tessie's story about how she deals with the aftermath of a horrific event, partly due to the attention and care given to her from MC brother "Shooter" from the Catawba charter of the Hellions MC.
I really enjoyed this one. Shooter himself has a past, Tessie has a long kept secret that affects more than just Shooter and herself, and together they just... work. The story was good, the action was good, the sexy times were, yes that's right, they were good too, and Shooter was very sweet with her. That's another name added to the book boyfriend pile. This one gets a 5.

Two people once lost.
Two people once broken.
Two people who have endured the pain.
One love brought them together. One love healed their hearts and made them whole again.
One love carries them through both the good times and the bad.
Shooter and Tessie have faced the shadows and demons that haunt their souls. They have built their life together on a solid foundation of love, friendship, and understanding. The only thing they haven’t done is make it official. Join them as they come together to commit to one another for the eternal ride.

A short and very sweet novella about Shooter and Tessie's wedding. A nice little wrap up for this couple, the only down side?... to say it was already only a novella, it ended at 63% :-( 4 stars.

Opposites attract, or so the saying goes. When two people from different worlds come together by a chance meeting twisted with an element of danger, can their attraction remain innocent? She's a corporate accountant. Her life is full of structure, routine, and organization. Settled, comfortable, and content, Caroline Milton, loves knowing what to expect every minute of every day. He's the Catawba Hellions VP and a wild one, refusing to be tamed. His motto, 'hit it, get it, and go; no repeats' where women are concerned, guarantees a new woman in his bed nightly. His life suddenly tilted on its axis, when his wild days come barrelling back with a major responsibility. Drexel 'Rex' Crews finds he has a real reason to settle down his wild ways. When a situation quickly spins out of control at work for Caroline, she reaches out to the one place she least expected to find herself dependent upon. The Hellions Motorcycle Club. His cousin's ol' lady, Doll, comes to him with a personal favor, protect her best friend. He can't refuse. Protecting Caroline was supposed to be an innocent task. The attraction from their first meeting is still a fire burning strong inside of them both. Neither can deny the pull. They come from different worlds. Can Rex show Caroline the safety and security of the MC? Can Caroline tame the wild beast inside of Rex? Can their innocent ride become a journey to long lasting love?

Rex and Caroline's story.
I totally understand why Caroline kept trying to deal with things on her own, but I'm so glad Rex was the stubborn ... that he was. He well and truly redeemed himself from the actions I read about in the previous books.
I really enjoyed this one, and it's battling with Merciless Ride to be my favourite. LOL.
5 stars for this one.

After surviving the heat, the torture, and making it out of the sandbox one mission at a time, I have spent years on the ride, going mile after mile to escape the past. I thought I had left hell behind. Only, it is hard to run from the demons inside you.
It all changed when I found the Hellions brotherhood. My nightmares were chased away with the daylight of my new purpose in the club.
I’m a whore, born from trash; that’s what he always told me. Well, sugar, if you can’t beat it back, you might as well stop fighting and make the best of it. The Hellions take care of me as long as I take care of their boys, and the arrangement works…
…until he finds me.
Nathan “Boomer” Vaughn—Hellions MC’s newest member, former Army Special Forces, and overall badass—is brought to his knees when he finds out the secrets his favorite barfly has been keeping.
Purple Pussy Pamela should have brought her problems to the club first, but she didn’t. Now it’s up to Boomer to keep her and her secrets safe.
What happens when two people with a simple understanding complicate things? Can they find their way back to the simple ride?

Boomer and Purple Pussy Pamela.
I really enjoyed this one. Pam has some HUGE secrets that could end really badly. Boomer has some major guilt holding him back from going after what he really wants and moving on with his life.
Although this was short, it didn't feel rushed to me. The only thing that did seem a little anticlimactic was the final confrontation. I felt it could have been more, idk, dramatic, but in the usual "Hellions take no bull poop way", it was swift and so appropriate. Very enjoyable read. I can't wait for book 7 to be released in a few weeks. 4.5 stars.
