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?

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?

My Thoughts…

Forever Ride is the perfect follow up to One Ride (The Hellions Ride #1).    I love this MC series.    Chelsea Camaron take a reader who has no clue what happens in or with a MC (motorcycle club) and gives them a bird’s eye view  of how the world works from the inside out.       What I love most is that you get the view from the both the woman’s point of view and the biker point of view.       They do not always match exactly but they sure do make a great story.   

This is the story of Sass and Tank.     Sass, being the daughter of the president, is an untouchable by the rest of club.   Until….Tank touches and then can’t get her out of his mind, blood, and soul.     I knew it wouldn’t be easy for these two but from the very beginning I could feel the heat between the two of them.      The anticipation I felt while reading about these two was amazing.   I needed them to figure out what was happening between them and how they could get past their history.   

I have read One Ride (check out my review HERE), just finished book two (Forever Ride), and am anxious to start Merciless Ride ( The Hellions Ride #3).     If you have not started this series I recommend starting NOW!    This book can be read as a stand-alone but you will know more of the history if you start with book one and continue on.

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.

This is not a ride for love. This is a ride for endurance.

My Thoughts... 

As the third book in The Hellion series I thought I knew what to expect.   I thought I knew how this would go.    I wasn’t all wrong, but I didn’t know as much as I thought.     What I really enjoyed is that although this is part of a series, it had its own characters.     There were new characters and some familiar characters.     The familiar characters were fun to catch up with; I love Doll and her take no BS attitude she has with Tripp.   The new characters of Tessie, Rex, and Shooter became my new friends with bad boy Rex my new book crush.   

With Merciless Ride there were twists and turns that I did not see coming.  I will admit that I hoped Tess would see Shooter for the amazing man he was instead of just a member of the MC.     But I could also see that it would not be easy.  I am a believer that if something is easy it isn’t always right.   I like that Tess and Shooter did not just fall together.    They held onto their fears and worked together to overcome their fears and their histories.      

I feel like this is a series that I will just come to love more and more with each book.   Each book is going to bring new characters, new storylines, and amazing relationships.   I devour each book  from Chelsea Camaron.   With this series I know that they are going to be books I recommend to my friends.

  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.

My Thoughts…

Just in case you can’t tell by my previous reviews of this series I LOVE THE HELLIONS!    They are a tough, hardcore group of MC men with the biggest hearts ever.     As a group they protect what is theirs or their brothers and do so in a way that keeps everyone safe.    The women that belong to the men of The Hellions are just as tough and strong as the men.   They have to be to be able to stand up to their men.   

Rex has been a thorn to me.   I wanted to like him in the past books, I really tried.  Yet I couldn’t.   He was cocky, rude, and down right nasty to the women he beds.      When I started this book I saw slight changes in him, but it wasn’t enough.     Then he meets Caroline (aka Lux).     She stands up to him, she puts him in his place, and doesn’t just let him have his way.     I love her.   


As with the rest of this series, I devoured the book.    I could not put it down and wished for more of Rex and Lux when I finished.    I recommend this book and this entire series.

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?  

My Thoughts…

Purple Pussy Pamela, what a name, is by far the strongest woman character Chelsea Camaron has written in this series.   She overcomes so much and still protects what is her without the help of a man, especially a Hellion.    When help is offered she pushes it away determined to stand on her own two feet and keep those she loves safe.      Pamela’s story is by far the most horrendous of the women stories.   The scars she has, both internally and externally, are the worst imaginable.   Yet, I love how she just goes on with life doing what has to be done.  

Boomer broke my heart.   His half living life was shameful for an ex-military man.    It was sad that no one was able and willing to step in and heal him until he met Pamela.       The way she changes him and makes him whole, without even knowing was wonderful and everything he deserved.    I was cheering for them to make it together and heal each other. 

Once again, Chelsea Camaron hit a home run.    Simple Ride is my favorite so far.   There are so many more characters that need their stories told that I hope this is a series that will go on for quite a few more books.
