Full Throttle

Rate this book
A battered heart, a drive-by shooting, and a mysterious man on a motorcycle.
Of course I got on the back, what girl wouldn’t?
The fear and excitement on the back of that bike gave me the rush that I’d been craving.
Thankfully, the mysterious man kept his promise and took me to my new friend, Atlas.
Atlas Lawson was exciting, a free spirit, and everything my damaged soul needed.

I spent weeks becoming myself again with him and his friends.
They gave me confidence that I’d been missing, and they flirted with death, just like I did.
Ethan Bradshaw, the kind one who had buried trauma from a past like mine.
Corey Murdock, the grumpy one who wished I didn’t exist the second I walked through his door.
Rio Murdock, the quirky one with zero boundaries or understanding of personal space.

It was all fun and games until the man who ruined my life came looking for me.
Did I mention my father was a murderer with a vendetta against me?
Atlas didn’t have to stress about his friends killing me on the back of their bikes.
Not when my father was likely to beat them to it.

**This is a contemporary reverse harem standalone. It contains M/M content, kidnapping, violence, discussions of SA, adult themes, and four guys on two wheels with the life expectancy of a goldfish.

… This might be my favorite book by this author to date! A big part of me wishes it wasn’t a standalone as I just wanted MORE. More of this world, these characters and their complex relationships, and the gritty writing style I’ve come to expect from RE.

If you think you know what to expect from R.E. Bond, you will need to put those thoughts away for Full Throttle. Skyler’s story? It’s us. All of us. It’s every quiet fear whispered at 2 AM, every doubt, every anxiety, and then some. And Atlas—hello, protector with a heart of gold. Watching him fall for Skyler was like watching our dream partner in action. Ethan, with his kindness, and the twins with their emotional and psychological complexities, added layers to this story that I didn’t know I needed. R.E. Bond didn’t just write a romance; she penned a manifesto on love’s power to heal and embrace us, flaws and all. I laughed, I cried, I swooned—this book is an emotional whirlwind that’s as real as it gets. Dive into this story. Let it remind you that love, in all its forms, is truly unstoppable.

Thanks R.E. Bond... While I have loved every single book with badass, hard-hitting FMCs, what I really needed to read was a story of a FMC who is more like all of us. 💖

I need everyone to drop what they are doing and go read this book. I want to thank Haileigh for blessing my eyes with this masterpiece and I need to give it the flowers it deserves. 🤍

I cannot express how much I love these 5 characters, each of them have something unique that I love about them and I mean it's it's a RH with bikers, what more could you want. 😂

But genuinely so much happens in this book but it's written so well you don't realize how much has happened until you stop and think about it. It's also written in a way that it feels so raw and real, you feel the emotions that each character goes through and want to climb into the book and hug them.

To all the girls like me whose for you page is filled with thirst traps of hot guys on sports bikes…this book is for you! The guys in this book literally do all the things we see in the videos, from wheelies to bunny helmet covers to bike meets and more. You’ll love reading about all the things you’ve seen in videos, especially when things get spicy.

Skylar has been dealt a crappy hand in life. She’s dealing with a cheating ex who can’t accept the breakup, her murderous father stalking her, drive-by shootings, and now she has to live with four guys when she only really knows one of them. I really enjoyed Skylar because she’s a nice mix of sweet and shy, she’s self-conscious about her bedroom skills, is an adrenaline junkie, doesn’t like violence due to her childhood trauma, she’s funny, and she has a backbone and will stand up for herself and those she cares about.

I loved all the guys! Atlas is just gorgeous and is total Daddy about everything and is super overprotective. Ethan is the calm one who will listen and nurture. Corey is confident and definitely has some skills if you get what I mean. Rio is quirky, doesn’t understand personal space, and is the comedic relief that will have you laughing constantly.

This book has a nice variety of drama, action, humor, and spice. There’s never a boring moment, and I really enjoyed reading it!

This was the last line of the book:

“We didn’t just flirt with death, we fucking married it and made it our bitch.”

This book was sitting at a solid 3 stars until this last line. Worst. Ending. Ever.

Ok the spice was 👌 real nice.

The plot was somewhat believable.

The writing was so awkward and cringy I almost died. The fact that out of all the guys’ names, (Corey, Ethan, Atlas, and Rio), that Ethan got shorter to Eth was so fucking weird.

I actually really appreciated the fact that the author laid bare the fact that there are a lot of women out there who have been shamed for basic biology by society, their families, and previous relationships. I loved the fact that the author wrote about it and these guys embraced it. That said, the amount do times she was too sore did become a little over the top.

Also, I don’t care how good Rio is in bed, he is written like a 10 year old child but at the same time a little rapey. He gave me all the cringe. Also, the feeding each other? Totally played into some kind of weird baby fetish. Hard pass.

Corey was by far my favorite. Followed by Ethan.

I have THOUGHTS and they are kinda spoilery so read at your own risk


1. Skylar is just not a girls girl which is really tiring to read

2. Anytime there may be conflict or slight not getting along between women or have to do with women they constantly called it drama whereas the guys were always throwing hands and yelling and having fits but of course they weren’t being drama

3. It was a choice to have the topic of trying anal be such a longgggg part of the book. It came up so often for like 70% of the book. I don’t think convincing Skylar to try anal needed to be an important plot point

4. As a neurospicy person myself the way Rio was written really irked me and how characters displaying hyperactive traits were spoken about. Rio was super infantilized even if they said they weren’t doing that. He was written that way.

5. I personally was irked that Rio was more the main character when Atlas was who wanted her first and Rio just kind of stole the show not in a good way.

6. Skylar basically said she would disown the guys, leave them and never speak to them again if they ki||ed her dad that was actively trying to ki|| her. But she warms right up to Ethan’s dad that is in jail for murd3ring his foster mom…

7. Personal irritation but I felt like I was baited with the MM content since it was pointed out alot in the book how the guys that were banging didn’t like eachother like that and they didn’t need to bang anymore because she was there now

8. Another personal irritation, if you keep bringing up pegging multiple times someone better whip out a strap on and hop to it. Don’t tease us like that.

9. This was a realllly long book for a small external plot. But if you are reading this basically just to see Skylar become cool with anal and try DP and constantly tend to Rios emotional outbursts then it’ll get your gears goin

10. The whole farting thing was really weird and how everybody else was dumb about it but the guys shes seeing.

11. A personal gripe, i do appreciate the frequency of the spice but I did find that it was often short lived. A lot of telling than showing.

12. There were quite a few eye roll moments that pertained to TSTL moments or hypocrisy from Skyler

13. Another personal gripe, whyyy are we being weird about boyfriends wanting to read our sexy books to us but totally fine with giving two bjs at once. Girl, please.

14. Back to point 6. Ethan being cool with his dad after all that happened, especially after his brother (foster brother?) Cruz and him agreed they’d never forgive him FOR MURDER|NG THEIR MOM/FOSTER MOM … he is all happy go lucky with dear old dad in the epilogue …


Anywho if you like spicy books with lots of biking 🏍️ and can look past/don’t care about the things I mentioned then I think you’ll enjoy this read !
Most of the sexx scenes were hot even if they were short lived to my standards

If you have enjoyed any of the antics of Biktok and wondered if it would collide with Booktok than you have to look no further! This story contains all you could want in a why choose novel; twins in the harem, touch her and d*e vibes, traumatic heroine, and boys on bikes who have no regards for their lives and feel the need for speed every time they drop a gear.

Skylar was enjoying a life that is upturned in a singular event that ends her in the arms of four delicious men who want nothing more than to see her smile. Atlas wants to mend a heart he didn’t break; Rio who falls first, Corey who fights the attraction the hardest and Ethan who will do anything to protect her.

With these men at her back and danger lurking just around the corner they have to learn to lean on each other in more ways than one to overcome all that is thrown there way. New friendships are made and bonds are formed that become unbreakable in this new release from RE Bond that you definetly do not want to miss. She is a master story teller who takes you on this ride that makes you feel you are right in the thick of it with these characters, you will experience all the feels while ultimately wanting either your own bike or a biker boyfriend by the end

I love R.E Bond and her books but this one was a tough one and sadly I didn't finish it because I really wanted to like it and it just fell short. I usually expect strong badass FMC from her but this time the fMC didn't live up to my expectations she was more reserved and timid and while I have no problem with that as the story went along there was no signs her changing and the boys, I love their different personalities and that they no two were the same but I didn't feel a connection between the Fmc and them it just felt like a bunch of friends which I guess they were but I felt no sexual tension, no angst and there was no anticipation of "when will they".
I'm still waiting for the storyline to unfold because it was mostly about the FMC sorting through her feelings while the guys all pine over her and I just got bored and couldn't continue.
But nevertheless I'm not deterred and I look forward to her next book

This standalone was so good!! I was so excited for it & RE Bond didn't disappoint.

This was full of action & drama! I loved some of the character crossovers from other series.

Skylar was sweet & spicy! Loved seeing her heal from her trauma! The guys were steadfast, sweet, & protective. Rio was crazy for her & I loved that!

The spice was so hot! Had me sweating at times 🥵

Such a good read! Definitely recommend.

Another amazing book

What did I just read? This book is amazing and will be thinking about it for a long time. Full Throttle is different from other R.E. Bond books I have read but not in a bad way at all. Skylar has been dealt some really bad hands from a cheating boyfriend to dumping him to a psychotic father. She is loyal and totally amazing and the guys see that starting with Atlas.

Atlas is the leader type and very protective of Skylar and the guys. Rio is a bit quirky but so lovable even though he doesn't know boundaries. He is so funny and love him. Rio's twin brother Corey is grumpy and standoffish at first but grows on you and very hot. Corey is definitely interested but wants to be a great friend. Definitely wants Skylar and is super confident in himself. He's had a rough childhood with a father too.

The guys are hot on their own but add in the motorcycles, man, fanning myself. Such an amazing plot and almost wish it wasn't a standalone. Love the side characters too. Such amazing friendships

Will the guys be able to protect Skylar from all that tries to harm her? You need to read to find out. Thank you R.E. Bond for this book.

Full Throttle is another masterpiece by R.E. Bond. It was quite different from her other Dark Romance Books because it only had slightly dark tropes, but that made it very refreshing and interesting. This book got me hooked from the beginning and kept my interest from the beginning till the last damn page. These guys were kind in each of their own way; all of their personalities are so different and very entertaining. Atlas is a leader by nature and is very protective; his loyalty is unquestionable. Ethan, very kind and calm yet a strong soul, doesn't hesitate when it comes to protecting his family. Rio and his quirky personality and lack of boundaries were funny in many ways, but if he loves, it's with his whole heart. Corey is more guarded yet a sweetheart if he trusts you; his confidence in many things is very attractive, and he certainly knows that.

Skylar had to deal with a lot at once: a broken heart, her piece-of-shit ex-boyfriend, her psychotic dad who was out to hurt her, and many more. She is sweet and kind by nature, yet a strong woman who doesn't let anyone take her independence away. Her sassy moments were very entertaining, and I couldn't get enough of her. Skye found her place where she wanted to be and definitely felt like she belongs just there; it was beautiful to see her grow confidence in multiple ways and to build a lifestyle she wants. Just like the guys, she is an adrenaline junkie and their little speed demon.

The Motorcycle Community in this book knows what loyalty means, and it melted my heart how they all stuck together as one whole family. R.E. Bond is a queen not just at writing incredible main characters with a lot of depth and character development, but also her side characters who make the book whole. I loved all of them, but especially Tate, the hottest Motorcycle Woman who exists. Also, seeing the Thieves from The Night Thieves Duet interacting with the guys and Skye was a dream come true I didn't know I had. Cruz and Ethan are foster brothers, but their bond is as if they are brothers by blood.

All in all, this is a must-read, especially for people who love hot Motorcycle guys and might have seen many videos on TikTok or wherever. This is for you.
So far, I've read all of RE's books, and she can write it all. R.E. Bond has a talent that needs to be seen and recognized. Her writing is so special and feels just so natural in many ways.

After seeing this on TikTok it was an immediate download and thank god I did because this book opened me up to such an amazing universe of characters.

I finished this in less than a day and was blown away, I hadn’t enjoyed a book like I did with this one in so long. Rio is the best character I’ve ever read and I won’t hear anything bad said about him!

The story and characters were great, all the twists had me on the edge of my seat. After reading this I’ve gone on to read everything else Bond has written and I’m in Love with this world and all the characters. I wish this book wasn’t a standalone I NEED more 😭🖤

I really enjoyed this book and love this author. You will love the guys right from the beginning.

I love this author. She's amazing. I did enjoy this book. I'm a huge smutt lover and this was it. I loved all the guys. I really loved Corey tho case he was just as they said one you get to know him he loves and loves hard and will do everything to protect you. Ethan was just a big sweetheart and so was Atlas. I loved Atlas and Rios relationship too even if they weren't dating. I loved how much they loved her and cherished her. Rio annoyed me alot tho but they all loved him. I loved that he had her tho. She knew how to handle him and excepted his facts without pause. I love Mads too. She was the best friend everyone would want. Tate was a great friend and I felt bad for her since it just seemed she wanted a relationship was was having a hard time( I wondered if her Roage and Zippy didn't secretly like each other but didn't want to ruin things cause they certainly didn't like anyone they were with and vise versa) I loved her Boss at the Dinner too and was sad to see it got burned down but was happy to see it back later on. Wish we would of got more of Dex and maybe a friendship with her and Skyler but didn't seem to fruition. I really liked Cruz. He seemed so nice and so Penn. She was so vocal and not ashamed and i loved that. I also like Drake ge seemed nice too. Stone seemed a hard butt but generally loved Penn. I wish I knew how old the characters were. I dont know why but I like to know so I can picture them better. I really like Story's where they don't always have money (like are rich) cause not everyone is. And they work themselves to be something. I liked this cause the smutt was hot. Syker didnt just jump in the sack after a break up a was nieve in the bedroom and they helped her put with but went slowly. I wish we would of got to see the others take her out on a date. I really wanted to see grumpy Corey would of done with his princess. He may be grumpy but he was also a big Teddy bear. Skyler kinda confused me a bit. I. The beginning she seemed to be a bad@ss but with the guys it's like a whole different person. Even Ethan. He was such a big bad person with a gun but once it was used he couldn't handle it it confused me on why it would. I get they arent killers but still. I kinda wish Noah stayed with them so he could be with Ethan. I knkw what he did was wrong but he was just a kid and he would of been killed otherwise and I think they should of took that in consideration instead of just he didn't have to do it he had a choice but did he no. He didn't even know her so it wasn't personal. And no im not excusing him but he made a mistake I don't think her wod of ever done again. He could of even worked in the garage with them. I wish we could of got an update on him in the epilog like we did with Ethans father. I'm glad he changed but after killing your mom even a foster one you deeply cared about I wouldn't be able to forgive but that's me. Some people are better then me lol. Anyways It had drama some angst crime smutt and a HEA. I enjoyed it alot. I think you will too.

Loved everything about Full Throttle! So many twists, turns, drama, angst, secrets, revelations, emotions (characters), all the feels (readers), things going sideways, and so so much panty melting heat 🔥🔥! R.E. Bond is one of my favorite authors for a reason. She always keeps readers engrossed from the first page until the very last page and leaves you wanting more! Full Throttle is no different. I love the fact that most of her books are also connected in some way to others in her series. In Full Throttle, characters from Night Thieves series made an appearance and they made vague references to characters in the Watch Me Burn series. If you have not read those series, then you are in for a treat if you love dark romance series and decide to read them. Although, the reference to the Watch Me Burn characters that are referenced is to when they are all grown up, settled down, and long after the series ends so maybe I should say characters from the From the Ashes series. Anyway, I highly recommend Full Throttle, Watch Me Burn series, From the Ashes (only after reading Watch Me Burn) series Night Thieves series (only after Watch Me Burn series and only because it has some small spoilers if you read it before), and R.E. Bond as an author. Readers who love dark romances will never go wrong with R.E. Bond’s books but please heed the trigger warnings. Happy Reading!

I don’t even know how to explain how much I enjoyed this book. I’m not usually a sports bike lover but after reading this I might be converted 😝

I’m a massive fan of this author and literally 1 click everything so fast and this book was exactly the same 🖤

This book flowed so well and I loved the writing. I was so engrossed in the story line I needed to know what happens next, everytime I read.

We meet Skylar who after an incident at a party gets a lift out of there by 1 very sexy biker man 😉 she then ends up at a house with him and 3 other sexy biker men and well you know what happens next 😝 the thing I loved about the relationship was she became friends with everyone and was slow to change what they had 🖤

I loved the guys, especially Rio 😍 he is my kind of crazy from the moment I met him 🤪 I loved the dynamic they had with each other aswell as Skylar.

I honestly was so emotional at some points throughout this book I didn’t know what to do with myself 🥺 I could feel everything the characters felt 🖤

Spice was seriously panty soaking hot 🥵 and I now want me a twin sandwich 😉

It was fabulous to see some characters we’ve met before become part of the storyline 🥰 such a good book and I’m now heading over to biketok to keep the boys going 🖤

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (spice is subjective but this was fucking hot)

Whew 🥵🫠
I mean.....damn this was good. I was into it from the start and it was hard to put down to get some sleep! All the boys are hot and protective in their own way, but really Atlas stole my heart hes just perfect 😍. If you like Biketok, steam, some well place M/M action, a healthy dose of plot and a girl who kicks ass and is independent while loving her men fiercely than this is the book for you!

I absolutely love that Sky is strong, and has a need for speed just like her men. Selfishly I would have liked more 1:1 time with her and Atlas cause he did see/need her first, but oh well the spice was still spicing for sure.

Cant wait to read more from R.E Bond, as I absolutely loved her reaper series. Hopefully we will see more of Sky and the boys.

Hot men on crotch rockets, violence, speed, hot sex? Yes, please.

She did it again, folks. Take Skylar; a young woman who hasn't experienced a lot in life but trauma.
A murder for a father, a cheating boyfriend/ best friend, and so much chaos to last a few years.
As much as I liked Skylar, I found her character at times to be whiney. Granted, she never experienced certain things sexual, but man, the whiner in her really got to me. I think she would have appeased me if she was stronger. Having been thru things, it should have made her stronger, but I felt it made her character weaker. Everyone is different, I know. She got stronger towards the end, but then it was just too late to redeem herself, in my opinion.

Atlas, the leader is you will, came off as an alpha that everyone seemed to follow. His character was great. He took chaste when needed, and it was smooth from the beginning. A man with a temper who loves to ride fast and fight. Swoon.

Ethan, the brains of the group. The one who stepped back. Why? He felt she was over whelmed, but yet as the story went on, I felt like his character evolved into something more. He was the character that was sweet yet rough. Plus, his family from the Night Thieves joined the story. Bonus.

Corey, this man can do bad things to me all night long. He's an alpha who always gets what he wants but knows when to give. A grumpy alpha who is a giver of many things. Especially organs. I'd choose Corey every time. His character went from a grump to someone you'd get baked for instantly. He's mine.

Rio, Corey's brother and a pain in my behind. Rio was not my favorite character at all. I felt he got more time than it should have been. I know that was his character, but you can only take so much of his pushing. I would have taken him out. His character grates on my nerves a lot. Granted, Skylar could control him, but my god, he really needed to act his age more. The only time I felt his character be more than a little child was when they got taken. After that, I totally changed my look on Rio.

The storyline was great. The side characters were funny and had plenty of appearances throughout the story. There are triggers for those that connect with rape, abuse, torture, kidnapping, and murder.
Throw in the Night Thieves, and it was an amazing story.

Full Throttle by @author.re.bond
5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Loved, loved, loved! This book wasn’t what I was expecting, but in the best way. Skylar had what she thought was a decent life, a great best friend & a good boyfriend. But life has a way of knocking her on her ass…again…and again.. But when a biker offers her a quick getaway, she takes the opportunity. When it leads her to Atlas’ door, along with Rio, Ethan and Corey, things are were never going to be the same.

I loved Skylar. She was firm in what she believed in, was determined to be strong and independent and if she said something then she meant it. But she was also vulnerable and self conscious. A cheating (ex) boyfriend and her murdering dad, is all to blame.
While I really really liked all four guys, Atlas and Rio started out as my favorite. I always have a soft spot for one that is a little on the unstable and misunderstood side. But the more I got into the book, the more Ethan and Corey became my favorites. I loved them both so much and I wish I had more.
I was so excited when I realized that other people were mentioned, and crossed over. I was not expecting it and I was excited to see them make an appearance.
She always leaves me wanting more from the main characters but also has me wanting to beg for side characters stories. There’s nothing that I love more than when I enjoy and want the side characters as much as the main. So here’s to hoping for a Tate & Madison book…plus a few others added in (🤞🏼🤞🏼)

@author.re.bond does it every time. She gives a book that is addictive, spicy, funny and amazing. Go read this! You won’t regret it.

Plus who doesn’t love guys on bikes 🏍️🏍️🏍️🥵

FULL THROTTLE🪓
By R.E. BOND
4.5 ⭐️& 4 🔥
Available on Amazon
COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!!

I am new to R.E. Bond and her Dark Romance books. But now I am a full fledged R.E. Bond bookie!!! Full Throttle was just that- Full Throttle! I have a thing for biker romance and I love a good harem /reverse harem romance. This book is pulls you in with its high angst and character build from the first page and then it is pedal to the metal for Skylar and Full Throttle for our 2 wheeler Hotties!

Without giving too much a way lets tell you a little about the characters that pull you in…
Our FMC
Skylar - Our FMC- our damsel in distress, our battered heart, love for speed, psycho dad, trouble magnet who has dreams of having it all on her terms.
The Boyfriends
Atlas: Saw her first, the leader/ protector, watching and falling from afar.
Rio: quirky one with neurodivergent tendancies, loveable “golden retreiver“.
Corey: the grumpy one who wished Sklyar didnt exist but then wants to do nothing but teach and please her.
Ethan: the kind one who had buried trauma from a past like Skylars.
Each of our MMCs are hot bikers who are unique in their own ways and each have their own roles in Skye’s life. Watching them each care and fall for her throughout the build of the story will have most women swooning and becoming their backpacks. You can expect drama, traumatic pasts, crappy ex’s, psychotic fathers, gang violence. Triggers: sexual assault, murder, kidnapping, physical abuse, MMFMM sex scenes. This book was awesome and I am going to miss these characters until I have a chance to read it again, because that will be happening for sure. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

If I could ever rec a reverse harem book so realistic in every way, then this is it!

What a freaking journey Full Throttle was. If you're looking for something to fulfil fantasies of the neverending biketok videos, then look no further. This was so hot, so emotional, just so enthralling. Skylars had a tough life, but she was happy with her best friend/boyfriend, Harrison, until he cheated. In walks Atlas, new friend who clearly likes her, with all his saviour complex to make you swoon. Skylar finds her self living with Atlas, the protective leader of the group, along with the ever sweet Ethan with his nauturing nature, who will stop at nothing to protect his family, grumpy Corey, whose really the sweetest once he lets you in, and his knows no boundaries, quirky twin brother, Rio, who clings like an over possessive yet adorable koala to Skylar. And it only gets better from here.

Skylar is shy. She's self concious in the bedroom, but she's also strong and at times sassy. She has past trauma to violence and her reactions to everything are so realistic, along with every other reaction in this story and the way this group navigates a poly relationship will have you thinking this book was based on a true story. Skylar has so much to deal with, but she stands strong with the help of these guys, and seeing this group grow and fall in love is so endearing to read. Even the side characters in this will have you melting. This motorcycle community is so loyal, and the way they all stick together and look out for each other is truly amazing.

I loved the cross-over with The Night Thieves and was bouncing in my seat every time Penn appeared.

I was immersed in this story, captivated from the first page until the last. The writing by R.E. Bond is beautifully done. It's full of so much spice, but that never took over from the gripping plot. It's action-packed, a full ride of emotions, growth, and healing. It will have you on the edge of your seat, waiting to see what happens next while still having so much humour to have you laughing out loud.

I need more! Preferably, a delicious little tale of Tate, Zippy, and Rogue 👀

So wanted to get into this but for me it was one of those books I just couldn’t, if you like a smutfest with an intermittent storyline then this is for you but even that was predictable. I did finish it, though felt like it was a long slog to do so, the characters sad to say didn’t seem to gel with me either 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have read other books by this author and loved them.

I feel like this was a nice throwback to our author and her motorcycle gang series roots. I’ve literally read every book by this author and this just wraps me in the nostalgia of reading her first series.

One thing I love about this author is her ability to write a strong FMC. I love that this book was a standalone because we saw her growth from beginning to end. She still has that signature snark and she’s strong, but she’s human. She has her ups and downs and at times you’re going to love this FMC and others you might feel a little exasperated. As for the men, they all have the usual RH personalities but they’re still different than other works. It’s a formula a lot of authors use, and when you read enough you notice. It’s how you write them and I enjoy the author writes hers.

I was drawn into the story right away, and I feel like I couldn’t read fast enough. Per usual, I was not disappointed by the spice that this author offers. There’s a lot of plot, don’t get me wrong. There’s just other things going on besides the plot. You know what you’re getting into when you read this author’s books.

This is an entertaining read and it’s great that it’s a standalone. I would recommend reading more from this world and this is a good taste of what those books offer as well.

R.E Bond once again proves her mastery of storytelling as I found myself completely engrossed in this book from beginning to end. She effortlessly weaves together different worlds within her previous works, creating a rich and immersive reading experience. The dynamic between the main characters is captivating, with just the right amount of steam and depth to keep readers hooked. And let's not forget about the supporting characters who add so much flavor and intrigue to the story. Atlas Lawson, Ethan Bradshaw, Corey Murdock, and Rio Murdock each bring their own unique charm to the table. And when characters from The Thieves duet made an appearance, I couldn't contain my excitement! This why choose romance is truly exceptional, delivering on all fronts - from the smut to the character development. R.E Bond has done it again, leaving me wanting more and eagerly anticipating her next masterpiece.

Really enjoyed all this book had to offer, for the most part. Action, drama, suspense, spice, motorcycles. But also, it could've been shorter too. Still, I'd give it a 4.5. I really liked the character development, and the ending was really good too.
