Blurb
Cooper Cruz knows what it means to be surrounded and bound by
family. Loyalty, brotherhood, and protection are all learned, earned, and
respected by him and the Ravage Motorcycle Club family he grew up in. At the
same, he’s a man, having fun and living the life he has always envisioned,
until a trip to Florida changes everything.
Bristyl Daniels knows what it means to be smothered and bound
by family. Bonds run deep with her father and all the members of the Sinister
Sons Motorcycle Club she has grown up in. But now she’s all woman and wishes
they would see she isn’t a little girl anymore. Then one phone call gives her a
chance meeting with a hunk of a man she can’t get off her mind.
When her favorite band comes to play at a motorcycle rally in
her hometown, Bristyl decides it’s worth the risk to sneak off for a little
fun. When a situation gets heated, though, Cooper and the Ravage MC step in,
setting off a chain of events, both good and bad in both their lives.
As the dust settles, Bristyl will have to come to some very
hard decisions. Meanwhile, Cooper knows exactly what he wants. To hell with the
consequences.
REVIEW
Review by: Melanie
(4.5 stars)
We met
Cooper all the way back in book one “Ravage Me”; he was Cruz’s young son. Now,
Cooper is all grown up and a member of Ravage MC. Whilst on a ride down to a
Florida rally he meets the beautiful Bristyl. Feisty, gorgeous and strong,
Cooper is drawn to her, if anyone could make him a one woman man it would be
her. At the Rally though, Cooper and his brothers have to step in when Bristyl
and her friend, Leah, get into a bit of trouble. Unfortunately, this bit of
white knighting bites them in the arse a little when it has some blowback on
those involved.
After the rally and Cooper and Bristyl have to part ways, they can’t get each other out of their thoughts and once Bristyl has a moment of bravery and gets in touch with Cooper, that’s it, they set out to prove that a four hour distance between them is no deterrent to their feelings for each other. When Bristyl’s own family throw a huge, life altering decision at her, it gives her the push to start living for herself and not her “family”.
Ok I’m going to be totally honest and say that the first few chapters read a little weird to me. As in they felt like they weren’t quite finished with the fluidity that I expect from Ryan Michele. However, a few chapters in, everything smoothed itself out and I was sucked into the story completely. Seeing the man Cooper had become, and getting to see the rest of the club members that I loved from the early books. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I can’t wait for the next one as I want to see what’s going to happen with Deke; GT and Casey’s son. I give Bound by Family 4.5 stars.
Excerpt
Bristyl
Holy
hells bells.
I’m not
sure if I should be pissed that my brothers and father left me to deal with
this mess or thank them for the gorgeous eye candy. Not that I would, because
they’d have a fit either way, but damn. Maybe it’s my mom smiling down on me,
giving me a ray of sunshine through this mess.
All three
of the guys are hot in their own way. By the cuts on their backs, they belong
to the Ravage Motorcycle Club. Here for the rally, of course, and will be gone
in a flash. That’s how it is. What the hell, I’ll enjoy the view while I can.
I sop up
the water and wring out the mop head, then repeat … again and again.
Ryker,
who boldly introduced himself, is a player. Yep, seen hundreds of them in my
day growing up in the club. Tattoos, sexy vibe … I bet he doesn’t even have to
ask women, just crooks his finger.
The other
man, who I’m not sure his name, looks a little lighter in a way, but I’m not
sure how to describe it.
Cooper,
though. My heavens. Talk about charismatic, and I got that just from the few
words he spoke to me. Hell, I get it just from being in the same room with him.
It’s like he oozes it out of his pores, releasing it out in the world for women
to fall at his feet and beg. Then there’s the hair. I can’t call it light, and
it’s definitely not dark. It’s a unique combination of the two; light browns
intertwined with a few darker browns, giving his hair a shade I haven’t seen
before. Like a caramel color with an edge, and long. So much so that he has a
hair tie wrapped around his wrist. No doubt he puts it up regularly. I’d put
money on it only amping up his sexiness.
When our
eyes connected for that brief moment, the blue popped out in his. I also
noticed some navy around the edges. That combination of hair and eyes … Be
still my deprived heart.
The way
his pants ride low on his hips makes me want to give up all kinds of things to
get him to raise his arms above his head so his black T-shirt rises up and I
can see what’s underneath.
He has
tattoos running all up his left arm, disappearing under his shirt. I can see
some black poking through the top at his neck, too. It piques my curiosity,
wanting to find out what he’s hiding.
I shake
my head and squeeze out the mop. It’s been way too long since … Never mind.
