Vow to Destroy

Rate this book
They were ordered to protect me, but who will protect me from them?

I was at my weakest. I wanted to run, I wanted to hide, to leave it all behind and start over.

I'd forgotten who I was, I’d forgotten my purpose.

I'm falling for them, but him? He wasn't part of the equation, but he invaded my senses, he took what he wanted, breaking me open and making me remember who I am, and what I'm destined for.

RUNNING IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.

Will they defend me? Or will they destroy me?

When I take back what’s mine, will they stand beside me ravaging everything in their wake, or will I perish in the destruction only to be left in the ashes alone?

Will they bind me together or tear me apart? The question is what am I prepared to lose to find out?

Vow To Destroy is a Dark Romance with Military vibes. This Duology contains spoilers for the Reapers MC, Ravenswood Series. TW and tropes can be found on the authors website.

✨ARC review
Thank you to the author Harley Raige for the advanced copy of 𝗩𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘆, 𝘍𝘰𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘵 5 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 2

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️


Foxtrot 5 Book 1 - 𝑉𝘰𝑤 𝑇𝘰 𝘋𝑒𝘧𝑒𝘯𝑑 left us with a cliffhanger so book 2 picks right back up in action!

Will Carmen be found and the family be reunited? Will the lowly gangs keep control or will the cartel be taken back and put back into order?

It’s no surprise to see the unbreakable Ray in her element with chaos & carnage. Shes always got a plan, isn’t afraid to step into action, and fuels her mission with Reaper’s rage. Most of her Foxtrot 5 team is the same way. However, we get to see a softer side of Ray & the guys in this and it intertwined perfectly in the story.
“𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫.” ❤️‍🔥

Catalina definitely transforms from Princess to Queen - she embraced her true desires, chose her path, and claimed her future. Damnnnn, it was HOT.
“𝐈'𝐦 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨, 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧, 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐚, 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧', 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐥𝐮𝐭. 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭, 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞.
𝐈 𝐯𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐯𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞, 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞.”

One thing is for sure, there is a lot of fight in these characters. Some of them will face the hardest battles within themselves. Some will never be the same, for better or worse. But step one of healing is to choose to try.
“ ‘𝐕𝐢𝐤𝐞, 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭-𝐢𝐟𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐲𝐬. 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰. 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰, 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥. 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲.’ “

Harley Raige does not disappoint! I love her group of heathens and hope we get even more!!

I had the honour of reading this as an arc read and loved every second of it.
This is book 2 in a duet

Ray and her team, Foxtrot 5, rescue Viking from his captors, but when he comes round from the sedative, tells Ray that he saw Carmen get unalived and is devastated. He starts to drink excessively and hooking up with random women, completely going off the rails.
Ray is determined to find Carmen and refuses to believe that she’s gone until she sees her body.
Catalina gets more than she bargained for when the attracts the attention of three of the Foxtrot 5 men, who all give her something different. She can’t and won’t choose between them, and tells them that, much to their initial shock, but they quickly get on board with the idea, lucky girl 😂
Ray sets a plan in motion to get herself taken by the new Cartel bosses, and it works perfectly. She’s taken to an abandoned Police Station, where she’s held, but easily escapes, and what she finds shocks her, but in usual Ray style she handles it like a pro. She finds Carmen in an awful state, but alive and takes her back to the tower to start her recovery, whilst instilling in her the fact that she’ll always be there for her, and giving her some tough love to help her fight her way back.
Can Catalina take back control of the cartel, and what’s happens to her and the three men that all want her?

This book was incredible from start to finish and I’m sad that this story is over 🖤🖤🖤

What an end to the Foxtrot 5 duology. Well done Ms Raige, bløødy well done!
The beginning and end of Vow to Destroy were smashing, loved every minute!!!
I did struggle for some of the middle that felt like it dragged on, on a loop, but I loved the characters so much there was never a chance I wouldn’t push through.
Catalina really comes into her own, the wounded Princesca, and next cartel queen. But with her parents and everything she knows stolen away from her, how can she crawl back from the darkest depths.
The Foxtrot 5 - King, Queen, Rook, Knight and Bishop - are the strongest, most united team of mercenaries. But when they’re tasked with “babysitting” duties, aka keeping Tali safe, how will they keep their eyes on the prize when they’re drawn to her so easily, even if it’s the last thing they want.
And the glue that keeps them all together in all her bellend glory, Ray, remains my absolute fave.

Wow Harley Raige!!!!! Vow to Destroy is seriously so freaking good. From start to finish action emotion all off the charts. The intense story picks up right where we left off, hanging on for dear life, at the end of book one and never lets off the accelerator. The Foxtrot 5 are an outstanding team, loyal and dedicated without any wavering. Catalina evolves in a dramatic way. Finding her true self and taking what she wants. Ray is my forever favorite and is just the fiercest most dominant, sexy FMC of all. My heart will never get over what happened to Steel, but I can accept Priest and them finding happiness. With all The action there is still fabulous, sexy spice and top-notch banter. This world, and these characters are some of my absolute favorite and I hope this is not the forever end of them. If you have not yet entered the world of Harley Raige I am not sure what you’re doing, you need to do it like now.

Damn Harley! You got me good! What a fucking awesome read! A one sit read once again. After the cliffhanger from Vow to Defend, I just knew Vow To Destroy was going to be fantastic, and hot damn, you delivered. Totally hooked from the very beginning.

Vow to Destroy is fast-paced, with action, a great plot, and a story where the boys are bad, but the women are badass! Ray making people bleed is always a joy to see. She will always be my favourite fmc of all time. I just love that crazy woman.

Now to Catalina. Who would have thought little Tali would grow up to be one hell of a horny little minx. I just loved how she took back control of her life and totally owned it. I couldn't pick a favourite from the hungry men in her life. King, though, sheesh! 🔥🥵🫠💦 He can spank my arse any day! I'll just start running.

Harley Raige absolutely kicked ass with this duology. Can not recommend it highly enough for those who don't want a fluffy, sweet romance. If you love your women tough and resilient, read this! 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

Well, Harley Raige did not disappoint with this concluding book. It is brilliantly written, humorous, and definitely spicy. Ray, yes, she is back, as usual tries to sort her family out, making sure that everyone is doing what they should whilst being as safe as possible and managing some form of normal. Tali continues to struggle with her relationships that culminates in a resolution towards the end of the book - those men, wow! Hot and spicy! After making a decision on her future, it is all hands on deck to implement it.
Loved all of these books, they draw you in so much, sad to see them end.

🔥 ARC Read #10 🔥

5⭐️
3🌶

🫣Where do I even begin with this review?!  Harley is an amazing author! She had me hooked with Vow To Defend but absolutely consumed my spare time with Vow To Destroy!! This book was all the things! And kept me coming back wanting to know what would happen next.

➡️ And....I'm still at King girl! That man🥵 he's so broody, sexy and an A$$HOLE🤣 

🌶And that 3-some, wait is it a 4-some or hell does the queen have a whole herem? Guess you'll have to read the books to find out😘

This book releases March 6th, 2025. Be sure to check this duology out!

Thank you to the author for the ARC!

So, book two in the Foxtrot5 series, isn't quite as graphic as book one. It concentrates more on Catalina, and her totally screwed up love life.
Ray is there, trying her best to keep everything together, whilst searching for Viking and Carmen, and seemingly doing it single handed. Just Ray being Ray!

Another awesome read from Ms Harley in this intriguing series. I loved that we got an in depth on Ray's true feelings toward Steele (I still hate what you did to him by the by) and Priest, and that she is truly finally happy in her life now. BUT! What the hell are you up to with Ray and Carmen? or was that just a flash in the pan in a vulnerable moment? Or was it me?

Ms Harley has a fantastically filthy mind and I'm so pleased she chose to share it with us so we can all enjoy it.

This duet has been great! The story picks up right where Vow To Defend left us on a cliffhanger.
Viking is rescued and Ray goes on the hunt for Carmen. Catalina has so much growth in this story. She has some help gaining her confidence from the Foxtrot 5. And finds love along the way. I really enjoyed the story and loved seeing Ray still being the Ray we love from her books. Catalina grows into the woman she's meant to be and it's been a wild ride along the way!

I'll forever love Ray, she's just awesome. And though these books are told from many viewpoints, I still love reading from her pov.

Catalina quicky became a favourite of mine. We got to know her in these two books, and she grew in strength and determination throughout. Her relationships with members of the Foxtrot 5 also evolved, and I loved how that situation ended up.

I've enjoyed every book in this series (the original four books of the Reapers MC series, and now the Foxtrot 5 duet) and I so hope there'll be more at some stage.

Did I punch the air at the end of this book? Yep!
Is this spicy as hell? Yep!
Great plot to go alongside the dirty smut? Yep!
Characters to love? Yep!
Badass women who don’t need a man to protect them they want them to worship their body? Yep!

There are triggers to this book so I would highly suggest you read those and if you think it may be too much it will be too much. Justice is served though and beautifully executed - literally!

I can't say enough good things about this book. I am glad the cliffhanger worked out. Harley really threw in the spice on this one. I mean, Catalina's why choose. I just knew we would lose someone or someone would be devastated, but that ending turn 🔥🔥🔥. From the nonstop action to the spice, I couldn't put it down. The badass women definitely show up and show out!!.

Outstanding conclusion to this duology! Full of action, full of suspense, full of hot and steamy scenes! Catalina makes her decision regarding her future with the cartel and her relationships. King is sill the character you love to hate - and probably one of my favorites! Harley Raige once again does not disappoint!

OMG Harley Raige slayed again with this book, I was lost in the world of the Foxtrot 5. I absolutely loved Catalina, Knight, Bishop and yes, surprisingly even King stole my heart ❤️❤️❤️ what a lucky girl Catalina is. So much chaotic drama, danger and death but some of us might say, just the right amount to make this book inspirational, brilliant and amazing. I was in awe throughout this story, definitely couldn’t put it down, it was breath shuddering and mind blowing, so much so I hated getting to the end. A definite page turner and very entertaining. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎🖤

Absolutely loved the 2nd instalment of the Foxtrot5, reapers spin off.
This book continues a great growth for Cat and dare I say King (he’s my fave lol) whilst Ray and the team continue to look for missing Carmen and take steps to make everything right.
It’s dark and steamy so dive in

Luckily this book was released right after Vow to Defend because I needed to know what happens. The action is nonstop, but it’s easy to follow. I enjoyed Catalina’s relationships growing and her character development. I will be a Ray fan for life even if I’m still salty over Steel!

Great duet!!!

This was very entertaining and interesting. Please check out Harley Raige's books. They are dark and twisted but excellent reads if you can handle the twisted trauma. Great books.

Not sure how to put into words how epic these books were! The whole cast of characters are awesome, Catalina is an ace lead female, though Ray will always take the top spot. King, although a douche, is my favourite!
Only thing missing for me would have been a scene with all 6 of them in some way.

After having some VERY strong words with the author for leaving us with that infuriating cliffhanger at the end of Vow to Defend, I was ecstatic to get my hands on Vow to Destroy and let me tell you that I ate this book up and left no crumbs!!!

Vow to Destroy picks up exactly where Defend left off so there is no worry about forgetting how it ended.
So Viking has been found, Ray is still on a mission to find Carmen and Tali is flip flopping between King, Knight and Bishop.

If you thought Defend was gritty and spicy, then buckle up buttercup because it's about to worse...or better depending on your perspective.

We see a whole new side to Tali as she finds her inner strength and levels up from Princesa to the new Queen of the Cartel all whilst owning her place as the new possession of not 1, not 2 but 3 deliciously dirty and dark men who worship the bones of her.

I am sad to say Goodbye to the Foxtrot 5 but man what a ride it's been. Mission completed, Foxtrot 5 stand down!

This is now the 3rd book of Harley's that I have read and this duology has rocketed her to the position of an auto-buy author for me.

This is book #2 please read book #1 first.

Ray - Ray and her team have found Ray's brother Viking from his captors. After coming around he tells Ray that he sae his wife d!e. He starts to spiral out of control by getting drunk and hooking up with random women.
Ray has found Carmen, Vikings wife, after being severely abused, she's been taken to safety and Ray is currently looking after her.

Catalina - Thought it was bad enough to have feelings for not just one man but two. To her surprise after being tormented by King, she found herself enjoying having his hands on her, teasing her, doing things to her that she shouldn't want or love.
Catalina knows she cannot choose between the three men she's fallen for.

After all that she has gone through, it's time for her to make a decision and take on her role as the next cartel queen. A role she takes on with her men by her side!

This book is full of action and smutty vibes, so HOTTT!!

This is a beautifully written novel with lots of mayhem and adventure, this is the second novel of this authors I have read and I can honestly say it will not be the last.

The way this author brings her characters to life, grips you and will leave you craving more! I couldn't put this book down!

As always please read your triggers!
