Abel
2023 was supposed to be my fresh start.
A year of freedom. Healing. Finally putting myself first.
But let’s rewind to the absolute dumpster fire that was the end of 2022:
Dumped by my boyfriend of two years, on Christmas Day.
Kicked out of our home by his Barbie-brained side piece before I could even grab my vibrator.
Fired after telling my perv of a boss that “private performance reviews” weren’t in my job description.
So yeah… homeless, jobless, heartbroken, and one more bad decision away from burning my whole life to the ground.
Enter New Year’s Eve, and my best friend dragging me out before I could drown in cheap wine and worse decisions.
That’s when I met him.
Abel Iverson.
Leather cut. Deadly grin. Tattoos inked with sins I wanted to taste.
President of the Anarchy Saints MC.
The kind of man who doesn’t just take, he claims.
And he claimed me.
My mouth. My body. My pride. My pulse.
He didn’t fuck me like I was a fantasy.
He destroyed my reality and made himself the addiction..
One night. No names. No strings.
I disappeared before sunrise… but Abel left something behind.
Something I can’t walk away from.
Something that makes going back impossible, and staying away lethal.
And 2023?
It’s not my fresh start anymore.
It’s his year.
And Abel Iverson doesn’t share what’s his.

This book was a roller coaster of emotions!
Abel's Protectiveness Steals the Show
His protectiveness is undeniably charming.His character is well-developed, with both strengths and vulnerabilities that make him incredibly relatable. It's impossible not to root for him, and I found myself completely invested in his journey.
This book had me hooked from the very first page! The author masterfully crafted a world of suspense and intrigue, keeping me on the edge of my seat with every turn of the page.
The author's ability to build suspense was remarkable. Every twist and turn felt natural and well-planned, never betraying the story's momentum. And the way the author resolved the conflict was nothing short of brilliant, leaving me satisfied and craving more.
I found myself smiling at the sweet moments, gasping in shock at the unexpected turns, and yes, even shedding a few tears along the way. This emotional rollercoaster was a testament to the author's ability to weave a story that truly resonates with the reader.
If you're looking for a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you with a warm feeling in your heart,This book is a must-read!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶
Tropes: Insta-lust, Found Family, MC Club, accidental pregnancy.
"I love you."
"I know, Marrone Dolce, but I love you more."
Ride With Abel is a dark MC romance with some really great characters.
Our FMC, Ivy, is a beautiful woman of color who has consistently been disappointed by the people closest to her, her terrible ex-boyfriend being the latest to dissapoint.
Abel is a doctor by day, but runs a MC after being forced into the position.
Camden and Travis are not only a couple, but they are Ivy's best friends and only family she has in the world. When those two tell Ivy to get up, stop moping, and go out and enjoy herself, she meets Abel at his club.
The insta-lust turns into the best night of their lives, and that's all Ivy planned for it to be. That is, until she finds out that Abel left something with her.
This leads to the two of them reconnecting, and dealing with shocking relevations, and new enemies.
I think my favorite part of this book is Raja's characters. They are multidimensional and fleshed out. The interactions between MC's and side characters are great, and the banter is hilarious. Camden is probably my favorite side character 🫶🏻
This book ends on a cliffhanger that's more like a happy-for-now. The events are wrapped up well, but the story ended with a 'to be continued.'

I received this ARC from the author. All opinions are mine. Abel was the president of his motorcycle gang that was driven to seek vengeance to the group responsible for killing his brother Clive. During New Years Eve he meet alluring Ivy. Ivy was partying up because she had a horrible breakup. Not expecting anything more than a hot hook up. She discovered she was pregnant and had to juggle being a new mom and student. I was conflicted on how I felt about this book. On one hand I knew beforehand that this would involve violence due to the trigger warning. Yet, I should have paid better attention to the fact it would be bloody. I’m not a fan of the main character killing for fun. What made it interesting was that he was also a doctor. It didn’t make sense to me. And I wanted to enjoy this story since both characters were interesting. There were also many conflicting names or situations that were confusing or left unresolved. I did enjoy Ivy a lot. I had mad respect for her to move forward after a horrible painful breakup to find a better path for herself. She also had amazing goals in life. I loved that Abel was protective, loving, and supportive of Ivy’s goals. The overall story was good because the dynamic between Ivy and Abel was very hot! The ending was a bit disappointing. I’m not a fan of cliffhangers. And this ended in a cliffhanger. Boo! Which was why I dropped a star. Overall, it was a good start of a series that I might consider continuing if it’s about a certain character.

When everything is lost a friend forces you to retake control
Thinking you are going to get a Christmas proposal leads to being dumped.
But wait the guy has also been with someone else.
Or and while you were being wined and dined and dumped she was changing the locks.
Plus you lost your job because you wouldn't sleep your way to the top.
Thankfully you have best friends who have taken you in and are now forcing you to stop wallowing and get out there. Knowing you need to finish school and find a job you allow your friend to take you out for a night where hopefully you can find the perfect rebound.
Of course then the club you were going to go to is over capacity and you find yourself outside what appears to be a dive bar with a parking lot full of motorcycles.
After drinking and dancing with your friend you end up between 2 very pushy men you refuse to tolerate. They think you owe them but thankfully you are saved by the president of the motorcycle club that calls this bar home base. Better yet he wants you and you want him.
So you ring in New Years over and over with this man. Of course this is just a rebound and you sneak out before morning. Except you never planned for everything that would be changing after you finally decided to move on.
Will your want for the Motorcycle president cause you to find a way back to him? Or maybe it will be something else.
This book was filled with so many interesting twists and turns. This is an emotional roller coaster and I loved all of it.

This again is Raja Savage doing what she does best, she leads into this book with anticipation and delivers a story that not only has you on the edge of your seat but also has you hooked. This book will have your emotions all over the place and all you have to do is sit down on that seat and ride that rollercoaster of emotions.
Abel is your classic alpha, protectiveness above all else and charming, he is a doctor by day and runs an mc by night.
Ivy is our sweet fmc, who is beautifully and has been plagued with bad luck. Her best friend has had enough and takes her out for a night on the town. An insta connection is made with Abel and one thing leads to another and when they say their goodbyes that should be it, but will a night of passion really be the end of Abel and Ivy. Great story that ends on a cliffhanger

Where to start? Abel, the MMC, is a doctor and the MC president. His character is vulnerable, protective, strong and has so much depth, he's truly relatable. Ivy, the FMC, is a beautiful character who has been constantly let down, she's also strong and vulnerable. Her and Abel's connection is STEAMY.
The world building is great. Raja has given the story so much thought and it really shines in the details; there are unexpected turns, spice, happiness, some sadness, tension. The side characters are just as fleshed out as the main characters and feel important, too.
She did a fantastic job with this book, and I can't wait to read more. Thank you!

Ride with Abel is great!
OMG! I really loved this book! I read it all in one day and only put it down to drive lol.. The author did a fantastic job writing this story. I can't wait for book 2! This book is like a wild ride, with a few twists that I loved. I really loved the characters and a few of their personalities popped off the page. Some of the things the characters go through are thing that could really happen and it just added so much to the story IMO.
Did I mention Able has tattoo's!
Please read the trigger warnings if they effect you.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This was a quick and easy read. I got sucked into the story and I loved the characters. All the “main” characters that were part of the plots have good character development and make you want to root for them.
While the book has some really dark topics it is written very well so that the triggers are not as detailed in some instances. The plots themselves were great though and really keep you on the edge of your seat!

Abel & Ivy
MC romance...
Abel and Ivy have an instant connection after only one night. Little did they know, their lives would change forever.
This book had a bit of everything.
There was action, suspense, danger, spicy scenes and a little humor.
We also got some true emotional moments too.
I liked both main characters. I loved how protective Abel is.
I think it was a great read overall!

Ivy is dealing with a break up, loss of her and place to live all at once. After being forced to get out and have some fun she meets Abel. Abel is a doctor and part of a MC which is unique. They share a one night stand but that is not all. The story ends up having so much more that kept me engaged and invested.
June 17, 2024
I laughed and cried and did not get enough! I can’t wait to read more! The protectiveness and passion! Wow! And the rollercoaster where you think you know but you don’t! My mouth dropped so many times but I loved every second!!

This book was amazing. Ivy or as Abel calls her Marrone Dolce, she is a strong woman having gone through so much… Abel living two lives.
I loved this book and can’t wait for the next one

Enjoyed It
This was a quick, fast paced MC club love story. I enjoyed the pace of the book. It was cutting for the storyline. Definitely need more of Abel & Ivy.

Abel follows Abel and Ivy. In the beginning of the book, Ivy's ex-boyfriend broke up with her and, rightfully so, she is in a slump. Her friends get her up and out to a local bar. The bar is where she meets Abel. 'Abel' is a MC romance and its ending sets up nicely for a continuation in the same world following the same motorcycle club. It's entertaining and a nice read.

There's just something about the way in which Raja takes you on a journey, especially when diving into the world of which are her stories and books!
And what a place I'd love to be, riding on the back of Abel's bike!
Usually, her Savage stories are paranormal smut, so believe you me when she told me about this Doctor having sexy ass by day, and MC macho man by night 😌😏🥹 I was like, girl, sign me TF up!
Join us on a whirlwind of emotions with Sassy Sistah Ivy, as we take our fate into our own hands- this story is of redemption, of love after heartbreak, of the future. It will drag you across plains of emotions, piss you off, but guarantee to be put back together with the majik that is Raja and the way in which she writes.
Mistress CANNOT tell you how pleased she was to read - and I won't spoil it for you - but I am so very honoured to provide inspiration for this wonderful author and her literature goods. 😘
I am starstruck to have had a dedication and special mention in my first ever smut book!
This Mistress is honoured and pleased. And down for Savage always xoxo 💋
Ps- don't forget to charge your toys!

Raja has very quickly gotten to the top of my favorite authors list! I absolutely love her work! Her writing is absolutely perfect every single time. Her fmcs are some of my favorite sassy women!!

Abel was such a good fmc, bada**, mixed with sweet and the fact that he had a normal job on top of it was my favorite.
Ivy, she was an amazing fmc, her backstory and her sass made her perfect
The story was soooo good and I can not wait to see what comes next!!
Check Trigger warnings before reading!!

Abel is the President The Anarchy Saints Motorcycle Club of New York. Ivy, definitely down on her luck finds herself being dragged out for a night on the town with her best friend Cam. A night she desperately needed left her with a gift she won't soon forget. Abel and Ivys story is an edge of your seat read that has you all in your feelings one minute and biting your nails the next. There's no shortage of surprises, twists and turns to keep you flipping the pages to see what's going to happen next.

Wow .. what can I say? For my first MC novel, ABEL stole the show!! He is the epitome of protective and allowed his woman to be her own woman. Amazing job, Raja!!
