Ravage Me (Ravage MC#1)

Harlow and Cruz are two that belong together. Harlow is such a fighter but also a sweet kitten. Cruz is a manly man who is ready to protect what is his. Ryan Michele did an amazing join keeping me hooked the entire time. I can not wait to find out what happens next. Now I have to keep going with this series to see how it all ends.

Wow! My first biker book and read from Ryan Michele. Well, I LOVE a book the creates such visual imagery that I cannot put it down! This book is action packed and I mean all around...hot, hot, hot.... Suspense and some of the best writing I've read this year!!! I look forward to reading more from this author as it was an amazing ride to read! Just awesome!!!

After being released from a 2 year stent in prison, Harlow returns to her home at the MC. Rejoined with her family and sticking with her "no brothers" rule may be harder than she thinks. Cruz has his sights on Harlow and isn't backing down.

I started out thinking ok this is readable and hooked little by little as I read. By the 60% I was totally intrigued and decided to toothpick the eyelids and finish before sleep claimed me. I think I was more into the mc than I was into the Princess/Cruz romance though. I sovwill be reading book 2 to see how Casey and GT's relationship plays out.

The Ravage men...

Harlow called Princess just release from prison,
Coming home to her family, who happen to be Ravage MC...
Princess sworn off bikers..

Then she meets CRUZ....
Cruz and Princess sparks begin to fly...
This is their story!!!
And what a story!!!
MUST READ!!!

This book was amazing, i loved it. I started with their children because i had no idea about these books. So now that i am reading this series it filled in soooo many blanks. Highly recommend every book by this author.

Princess gets out of jail and meets her match with Cruz. He will not take her crap and tells her she is his and she must learn to accept it. She must fight for her life and freedom and learn to accept Cruz.

Thank you for my free copy, for my honest review. What a hot sexy book. Cruz is so hot and sexy and DOMINATE, but when it comes to Princess he is a big old teddy bear unless some body messes with her or his son, and mc family. Then it is on. Super great story if you like sex and violence, with hot bikers. I highly recommend this book.

This book was fantastic. I loved the characters and the story-line. I would highly recommend this book because it is sexy, funny, and has just the right amount of drama/feels. The reason I am giving it 4/5 stars is because it reminded me too much of the tv show SOA. So while I loved it, it lacked originality...sorry. :(

This book was amazingly real. While reading this, I could actually SEE things unfold. The motorcycles, the tattoos, the dialogue was graphic and beautifully written. The story of Princess/Harlow and Cruz was one built on fear and loss and lots of lust/love. I will totally read book 2 because now I'm addicted!

Yay Princess! Loved the refreshing spin on the MC plot line with having a strong, powerful independent chick who wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Mix that in with the uber sexy hotness that is Cruz and you have a spicy MC romance different from what is out there. Awesome story can't wait to read more in this series.

Another author who knows how to tell the story of an MC! I believe I've read other things by this author, but I'm truly impressed by the way she puts the into the paper. I look forward to reading this series.

Great MC book! Not as harsh as some, but definitely not a romance dressed up like a biker story. I now have a girl crush on Harlow. What a fantastic character! Cruz was a BA without being a AH. Storyline was tight and the plot moved at a fast pace. Read the book in one setting. I'm off to check out any other books by Michele...

this was definitely one of those that you could not put down once you started to read. this author did an awesome job of writing. I loved the characters, the story, the whole picture, I felt pulled into the whole thing. I was drawn in by to what was going on. This is a awesome read, would highly recommend it!!!

What a delightful story of Princess & Cruz... growing up the daughter of a club member, she is loved & respected by all. She has been taught from an early age to show no fear, stand for herself, & to always respect the 'club' & it's rules..... being set-up for something she didn't do, she spends time behind bars. While away, Cruz is patched in to the club, he has heard of the 'alpha' daughter, her reputation is legend !!! When she returns home, she runs into a situation !!! Cruz does not know this firecracker is the PRINCESS.... their chemistry is hot. But she has a rule, she does not & will become involved with a club member ever.... oh the times they are a changing.... Cruz has decided to claim her, body, heart, & soul..... now to make her accept & understand it. She is defiant. When attempts are made to hurt her & others from the club, she realizes there is more to this alpha male, he will protect her with his life. Their journey is not always easy, but their love grows stronger each day, as does their commitment to one another.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

This book was INTENSE, raw, gritty and emotionally driven!
Harlow’s complete reason to be in jail was intense. Cruz fell hard for Harlow and their love was extremely intense. Harlow has some very intense prison experiences to deal with. The violence in the story is intense, raw and gritty. The problems that keep happening to Harlow, Cruz and their MC family are intense. Harlow loves with such intensity that you could not help but love her. So when I say this read is intense it was intense. (but in such a great way)

Cruz is Harlow “Princess” perfect match. The story does not take long to get to the juicy stuff. I love it. I was on the back of an emotional motorcycle ride in this story. I laughed out loud, I cried, I wanted to fight right along with the character but most of all I felt all of Harlow emotions. I loved how strong she was through her ordeals and what a fierce momma she became. Cruz, oh he is so swoon worthy with his hot alpha male thing goin’ on. He swoops Harlow right off her feet and onto the back of his bike. He doesn’t take no for an answer. The mystery in the story will surprise you until the end. I was on the edge of my seat biting my fingernails while it all played out. I was thrown off the couch from the surprising twist. (deep breath time)

Ryan Michele’s writing style is flawless. I enjoy her descriptions and the flow of the story. Just fabulous.
I am so in love with the Ravage MC guys, I am such a sucker for bikers anyway, but this group is special. You must read it to see for yourself.

This book can be read as a stand-alone but the epilouge sets you up for the next book in the series “Seduce Me” (coming out soon) This is my first Ryan Michele book and will not be my last! I highly recommend it!

Ryan Michele you are so awesome, I cannot wait for the next installment of the Ravage MC’s

We gave this book 5 stars.
This is book one in the Ravage MC Series.

Quick shot of the story is that Harlow or has she's known at the Ravage MC
clubhouse as Princess, gets out of prison after two long years for a crime she
didn't commit. That's ok because while already being a harda*@, she becomes
even harder. Needing to prove her innocence by getting the woman who framed her
either locked up or dead she sets a plan in motion. What her plan didn't include
was a large, sexy, dominating man named Cruz. Having his own demons, this little
"princess" is out to prove that she's not a pushover. He will stop at nothing to
get her in his bed, problem being she made a promise a long time ago that she
doesn't date any of the "brothers". To bad for him or can he prove to her just
how good they are together. At least in bed.

There are some bad men that want to hurt the Ravage MC and they will stop at
nothing to do that. While threatening Princess, the MC has to figure out who's
behind the leaked information. Bullets flying and people dying, what are the
hidden secrets that Harlow and Cruz don't want shared.

From me...

I love me some bikers. Big, bad, tatted men that want to do nothing but...well
you know all day. I can do that. I loved this book and this story totally gets 5
STARS. The fact that Harlow is one badass bitch that takes nothing from anyone.
She grew up around most of these men, so she knows the life and she's great with
it. Love strong women who aren't afraid of men. I would have to break my own rule
if I found a "brother" that is described like Cruz is. Whoo hot damn. There are
some twists that I did not see coming and the entire book will keep you
guessing. I am about to start on the second one and I am really excited. Oh I
forgot to mention the sex. Off the hook sexy. Let's just say there were no
complaints from hubby. Some serious sexy scenes that were so hot, I had to take
my own cold shower.

The writing was great, the story flowed and I was again impressed with the
characters. I hope everyone enjoys this book as much as I did. Off to read
Seduce Me....

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.

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.

MY THOUGHTS~
I chose to purchase and read this book as a part of my "Biker Challenge". I'm also just a "Biker/MC" junkie!!
I do not have a single complaint about this entire book, except for the fact that it ended...but all good this must come to an end, right? I love love loved this book from the cover to the end! I don't even know where to start with the praises!
You have a complete bad ass chick that's the heroine. I don't want to tell too much, but she's done hard time in prison, can fight like or better than a man, loves fiercely and is loyal to a fault. Plus she's hot as can be!
Then, you have a total alpha, sexy, bad ass biker that is the hero. He is like melt in your mouth goodness!!
Their love story isn't conventional, but it's hot & deep all the same. They complete each other and sync so well together.
The MC holds true to what I imagine a real big-time MC to be like and operate as. I was so unbelievably thrilled to find this out! I hold all MC books up against Madeline Sheehan's Undeniable series and this book definitely held its own! This book immediately jumped right onto my "favorites" list!
MUST READ! You wil not be disappointed if you love Biker/MC books!

I started reading this book, and was a little unsure about it. I really couldn't get into the characters with the way they lived their lives. I decided to give it a go...and I am so glad I did! I love the way Harlow aka Princess evolved. I loved her and Cruz's story! I can't wait for the next book!

Loved Harlow's (aka princess)strong as hel character and combined her with the hot and strong as hell Cruz you have a highly fueled book. Fast paced and the steamy part are so hot.This a great beginning book for this series!

OMGoodness...from page one the twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat! Loved Harlow, badass biker, tender, and fierce. Cruz, sinfully hot, protective and downright HOT! I absolutely loved Ravage Me and can not wait to read the rest of the series!

This was a great MC book. Princess is completely bad ass and doesn't take crap from anyone. She's amazing! Cruz is An alpha but they just fit like two halves of a whole. This book is a little raw, a lite gritty and a lot about the life. It's one I would read over again.

I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this book! I hadn't read a book by Ryan Michele before, but now am looking forward to reading more by her.
Enjoyed the fact she gave you both Princess and Cruz's sides of the story. Made the story more interesting?
