First Impressions
Ride With Me is a duology of a combination of two different authors and two different series and seeing their world collide. Its also more of a extended epilogue type of story that feature both couples. We each get a novella into what is happening with their happily ever after and I actually really enjoyed these coming together. There is plenty of feels, not much as far as plot necessarily is concerned, but its definitely written in a way to finish off these generations and lead into the second generation of books or at least from where Ryan Michele is concerned. As this is my first Chelsea Camaron, I am not sure what the series is like for her, but after I go through this world with Ryan Michele, I definitely want to explore more of Chelsea Cameron. It definitely had some similar writing style to it.

First Line
"Souther bred, southern fed, and Lux, I'll damn sure be southern when I'm dead. Love you,babe, but New York ain't the place to be."

The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Drexel and Cruz
Drexel is a hard, biker and MC is the only life for him. He is duty bound to his brothers forever but is wanting to give his woman the world.

Cruz, is a dad and wants to be a husband to his princess, but the biker way is the only way of life for him but wants to be everything for his family, no matter what.

The Heroine: Lux and Princess
Lux is a classy type of woman, who has dedicated herself to being part of the MC world. But she is having to adjust to a different way of life and it not being easy. But wanting to give her man every part of her and something special on the side.

Princess has always lived the life in the MC world, but her life is about to change when she learns that she is pregnant. She will see a different side to motherhood and the sacrifices she might have to make for her children.

Summary
In the installment that we receive from the author "Chelsea Camaron" we have a set up of where Rex and Lux and learning what it means to be together and wanting to give each other the world and that being part of a MC means sacrifice for their club. They both want to give each other the best wedding of the century, but realize that all they need each other and their families to celebrate their love. Its a story of hard truths about the rough life they both signed on for but willing to stand by each other no matter what.

Princess and Cruz are living their best lives in the MC and being the parents to their little guy who has captured the heart of every biker in the Ravage MC. But when Princess learns that she is pregnant not with just one baby, but twins, her life will drastically change. Her loyalty has always been to the club, but now she is learning what sacrifice and love is all about for her babies and being the woman that is the heart of their family.

What I Loved
These were both adorable stories, with plenty of splice of life feels to them. These are more life extended epilogues, with a slight epilogue to them but it's not super pronounced. Just expect plenty of smexy times and lots of emotion and feels to get you through it all. I absolutely adored the way in which we see them come together and how these two stories connect but yet are different. I really found the writing for Chelsea Camaron to be so fascinating. There is an element that I really enjoyed being focused on here in that the biker lifestyle is hard to adapt to and enjoyed the way that we see Lux adjust a bit and fight for her man and give him a beautiful day.

Then we get to Cruz and Princess and loved seeing them together again. I will admit their story was my least favorite of the series but they have been so elemental throughout the series and I just love little Coop. But when we see Princess get pregnant, wow boy, we really see such a more maternal change within Princess and seeing her go through a pregnancy, their style of a wedding and seeing them face some struggles with having twins and standing together as a family was so heartfelt! Definitely worked my emotions so good here.

If you love seeing extended epilogues in a series you start to love, then you definitely need to pick this up here. I absolutely adored it so deeply. Definitely very splice of life and just endearing. Especially for the Ravage MC series, this is a good finale before we get to the 2nd generation which is what is up next so I am very excited for it.

What I Struggled With
Too much focus on the sex factor in the relationship. Its an aspect that isn't my favorite in MC books where everything is about sex and nothing else sometimes and that seemed to be the vibe that was focused on a bit and I could have used it a bit less.

Overall View
Ride With Me Is a delightful installment that will intrigue, fascinate, and tangle with your emotions in the most delightful way!

Favorite Quote(s)
This is what it’s all about: family riding through every curve of life together.

“Today, I vow that in sickness, health, richer, poorer, ups, downs, lefts, and rights, I ride with you and you ride with me until the very end of our days.”

Recommendation For Reading Order
You don't need to read these books in order if you don't want to. You might be missing some details on their original pairing set up, but its easy to get lost in and catch onto details. I was just fine with the Hellions novella even though I haven't read that series yet.

Steam/Spice Explanations

Simmering cup of tea---soft warm touches and light intimacy
Warmin' by the fire- a medium level of sexual tension, a balance of sexual and emotional intimacy, lighter on the details in the sexual moments.
Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes.
Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship.

4 Solid Stars

90% very well written.

Absolutely loved the mc's.

There is one section towards the end that definitely could have been better written.
This is the section to do with James and his crazy. While it is supposed to be a very gruesome area, it lacked the emotional tension it should have had due to an enormous amount of unnatural dialog. It felt rushed.

The adult scenes are super hot and steamy.

The mystery surrounding Onyx, the suspense of throughout, are all well done.

The very end (literally) segues into Paxtons book. This is the only cliffhanger.

I'm very curious about the next 3 books and will be continuing.… (altro)
