Hawk : Ride with Me

by Andie Bale

Hawk
Loyalty is everything when you are part of a motorcycle club. The problem with that is that you can only be loyal to the club and its president. Anything beyond that is considered betrayal. Falling in love with someone outside the club is the ultimate sin.

Ruby
Being a consummate romantic can get you into trouble from an early age. Deciding that you don’t believe in love is smart. Falling in love with an outlaw is everything you should stay away from, especially when it can cost you your life.

I love this story as it is filled with an angry tension that explodes into a fiery passion.


Hawk is loyal to his club and will do what he has to, to protect it and his brother. Ruby just wants to keep to herself but stands up for herself and others. When Ruby is tricked into help a rival team, getting info from Hawk pulls at something in both their hearts.

This story has you on the edge as Hawk struggles with his feelings and his loyalty for the club. I love that this is not a typical romance, but one that pulls at your heart each step of the way.

ANDIE BALE IS THE QUEEN OF ROMANCE! And this new MC romance from Andie ticks all the boxes.

Hawk is a member of the Savage MCs and definitely hates the rival MCs the Steel Lizards. However, when approached by the formidable Devereaux, to assist in the take down the Steel Lizards, it is an offer he can't refuse. The downside is that he will have to cozy up to a stripper to make the ruse look legit. But can he separate club business from his own desires?

Ruby, a stripper at a local club, has been roped into a situation that could have dire consequences. After listening to her fellow stripper Lala, Ruby decides to help the Steel Lizards gather information on thr Savages. However, who can she really trust? Who is actually telling her the truth?

After meeting Ruby, Hawk can tell she is being played as a pawn in a very dangerous game. But business is business, and he can't go against his club prez. Or can he??

Andie has given us another GREAT MC romance. Extra perk is that we get to see characters from her awesome series, The Wrecked Series and The Lost Trilogy. Andie's writing is absolutely fabulous. Her characters suck you in and leave you wanting more and more. I can not shout the praises of Andie Bale enough. If you haven't read any of her works, what are you waiting for?? 5 HUGE STARS FOR HAWK!!

Hawk: Ride with Me follows the story of Hawk and Ruby. When I first read the overview for Hawk: Ride with Me, I found it intrigued me to the point where I just had to read it to find out what would happen between Hawk and Ruby. To say the least, this book did NOT disappoint me in anyway. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Hawk: Ride with Me to the point where I didn't want to set my kindle down until I had finished reading. I thought author Andie Bale did an outstanding job of telling Hawk and Ruby's story. Hawk: Ride with Me, I found it to be a different take on a motorcycle romance that I'm not used to reading. However, just because it was different I absolutely loved how it ended. I loved the characters, the plot, and the outcome for Hawk: Ride with Me. Now I'm not going to give any details about this book because I don't want to ruin it for people will eventually read this story. However, I would highly recommend this book for others to read. I can't wait to read more books written by Andie Bale.

This was a story that once I started to read, I swore I made a mistake. I hated Ruby's profession but as I kept reading I realized her job were based on her own demons and the setbacks of her life.. Then entered Hawkeye and I fell in love with them both. This was a crazy amazing read that had so many ups and downs but stayed true to the plot. This is not my first book from this author and definitely, hopefully won't be my last. My heart broke for Ruby and then became hopeful with Hawk. He saved her then she saved him. I disliked Mr. Deverux until you realized he was the glue that held the story tightly together. I also had VERY mixed feelings about the president of the Savages but I guess he too had to do what he had to do. I do recommend this book but should warn there may be some triggers that threw me off hence the 4 1/2 rating instead of 5. Good Read all around.

HAWK: RIDE WITH ME by Andie Bale was a quick read with an interesting premise involving different motorcycle clubs. There are multiple stories being told that sometimes circle around each other.

This is Hawk and Ruby’s story and they have an unlikely connection that turns into more. They tell their stories in alternating chapters with lots of twists and turns but with a good flow. He becomes protective and when they get feelings for each other it can’t end well, or can it? Hawk seems to be going against many of the club’s bylaws and that adds another layer to the story since his behavior was totally unexpected to the Prez but also to him. There were some heartwarming moments along with lots of heat and tough topics addressed. An unexpected happily ever after and the epilogue was a nice touch.

I love reading MC books, but this was a whole different route for an MC book and I loved it!

Both of these characters were morally grey, but for different reasons. Hawk is because he is part of the MC and sometimes they have to do bad things. Ruby is because of her circumstances and what has happened in her past. When threatened she just wants to do the one thing which seems like it will give her freedom. She was in a bad situation either way you looked at it.

Reading this I honestly wasn't sure where it was going to go. There was a lot of nail-biting and I was on the edge of my seat reading. I needed to know how things were going to end for Ruby and Hawk. There were some sad moments and some troublesome moments, but these two became stronger by being together.

Hawk: Ride with Me is a steamy, OTT, instalove with an enemies-to-lovers vibe, girl gets her biker romance. Hawk is a hunky biker with the Savage MCs. Their rival is the Steel Lizards MC. Ruby is a strong and sassy stripper. Hawk wants to take down the Steel Lizards so gets to know Ruby, who is trying to get intel on the Savage MCs. But the two have insane chemistry, and Hawk realizes Ruby is being used. Can he keep her safe, get the girl, and remain loyal to his MC?This story was a roller-coaster of emotions with love, steam, drama, and suspense. Our couple does get a happy ending, but it is one wild ride!! I loved it! Andie never disappoints.

I love this story!
Hawk is the Enforcer for the Savages MC and their biggest rivals are the Steel Lizards MC. Talk about massive chaos! The Lizards are up to no good so when Devereaux makes the Savages an offer they can't refuse, EVERYTHING goes crazy. Ride With Hawk is soooo intense in every way and when Hawk catches feelings for the woman both sides are using that changes the game altogether. I really, really don't like Hawks Prez! Such an a*^ to say the least. I'm very excited for Devereaux's story though. He's an interesting character and his story is going to be epic. I completely enjoyed Hawk and definitely recommend his story!

What I liked- this is no happy little club of Kumbaya and bikes. These people know they are bad people doing bad things and that they are 1% because of it.
What I didn’t- the book is a little too bleak for me with the trafficking and the horrible things that the heroine has gone through.

Wow, so many explosive happenings throughout this story. So many characters that are involved with criminal activities your head will spin. Loved the growth of the main characters as each were surprised by the depth of feelings that snuck up on them. All I can say about the Prez, is he was a cold hearted man, who showed just a sliver of compassion but still held the the MC above all, and did not show favor to anyone who betrays the MC. Very much enjoyed the ending and loved how their benefactor came thru in helping Hawk tie up some loose ends.

Ruby has been on her owns since her parents kicked her out at seventeen. Four years later she is working as a stripper when she meets Hawk. Ruby is lead to believe his club is into sex trafficking and been asked to gather information from a rival club. What she does not know is that Hawk is feeding her misinformation as the other club is involved in trafficking.

When Hawk is told to take care of Ruby, he knows he has to go against the club as he cannot hurt her. What will happen to him when his Pres finds out he betrayed him? This story had me turning the page all night.

This book sucked me in and gripped from the start, I couldn't put it down, I had to know how it all turned out, and there were certainly some surprises along the way, including an outcome I don't think I have ever read in an MC romance before.

I loved how Ruby and Hawk's relationship developed, the story was emotional, had twists, turns and surprises and there were some situations that really had me wondering how things were going to turn out.

I highly recommend reading this book.

I am very excited to see the coming soon books that include characters from Hawk.

Another Winner!!

This is for MC romance lovers who don’t like their stories tied up in a cute little bow. Hawk was a raw and dark MC book that was an edge of your seat kind that made it a real page turner. Two rival clubs the Savage MC and the Steel Lizards MC who were both using a stripper to get dirt on the other.

Ruby was the woman who was being used by the Steel Lizards to get the dirt on the Savage MC but then enters Hawk from the rival MC. They end up falling for each other but how will things shake out between these two? This was another awesome MC book by this author.

[Pam M · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hawk thinks he is using Ruby to spread false information back to a rival gang and Ruby thinks she's gathering information for that gang that threatened her. Hawk doesn't want anyone to know that he has a heart but once his relationship with his mother is revealed it's too late. The MC club he belongs to, is his family but they have strict bylaws that must be followed. Especially remaining loyal to the club. There are lots of moving parts and people in this book. I cried when everything started to fall apart. But was so pleased that it all ended with a HEA.

Ruby has had a hard life with druggie parents that never cared and a boyfriend she thought cared but he ended up raping her as well as his friends. She ends up stripping where she meets Hawk and gets caught up in things that she never understood but all along Hawk tries to protect her but they fall for each other even as dangerous things are occurring around them. This book was hard to put down with things you are going one way that are actually going another.

[Jackie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wasn't fully prepared for this book but what a wild ride. Ruby was a strong female lead especially to be a stripper in the biker world. Hawk was dangerous and mysterious but seemed to have a softer side. The two are thrown together to decieve one another and given impossible demands. It was fast paced and kept me guessing till the very end.

This was no light-hearted romance, there were some wounded and hurt characters in this book but was well written and absorbing story.
Hawk needs to use Ruby to pass on fake information to a rival MC but as he gets to know her he starts to fall for her, and her for him. But things start to get very complicated and all he wants to do is protect her, despite the consequences.

We are taken into the lives of Ruby and Hawk. She hasn't had it easy in her life. After a traumatic upbringing and a bad one where she was abused. When she meets Hawk her life speeds up and she gets involved in things she doesn't know or understand with Hawk's help and he does everything he can to protect her and keep her safe. A wonderful MC that I definitely recommend!

This was a definite page turner, wonderful characters. She was just trying to survive and he was just trying to do his job. Both had no idea how much they needed one another. The way he cares for his mother is wonderful to read. The things that she keeps berried in her past are just unthinkable and sad. Will they find there happy ever after or will they crash and burn?? I would love to read about the others in his club as well as the business man they are all linked to.

Ruby is a stripper caught between two rival motorcycle gangs. Hawk is feeding her information so she shares incorrect intel with the other gang. Problem is, he is falling for her. How will he get out of this with both of them alive? Great MC novel.

A gritty, gripping, dark and steamy story full of MC rivalry, betrayal, angst, drama, emotion, gang hierarchy and tragedy.
My heart ached for Ruby and they way she was always treated. Hawk was a tough character, truly committed to his MC.
With lots of twists and hidden workings but a wonderful HEA.
