Ride Hard, Ride Fast

by Candice Owen

Jason Fowler will do whatever it takes to save his club.

For ten years, the Seven Devils MC and its president Jason Fowler have kept the sleepy Californian town of Gold Creek out of the influence of the drug lords to the south. But now, they find themselves targeted by the ruthless Norte Mexicali cartel—who are looking to erase them for good.


Blanche Herrera is the best at what she does.

With a sweet face and an innocent laugh, nobody ever suspected her to be one of the most deadly assassins for the Norte Mexicali cartel. When told that removing Jason Fowler will help the cartel bring peace to Gold Creek, Blanche takes up the job without hesitation.


She never thought she’d fall into his world.

Blanche knows to keep business and pleasure strictly separated, but there’s something about Jason Fowler that is making it difficult to separate the two. And when she finds herself tumbling into his bed, she’ll start questioning just where her loyalty truly lies.

Thankfully this was a free book because it was so, so bad.

Not even sure where to begin and I think I'm going to save you all my ranting. Fake plot, insta-love and so unrealistic.

Not for me. The heroine should be bad-ass and not so careless, right? Yet, careless is what she is which: ding ding ding... it springs Jason on to the scene, quiet as a ninja. HOW did she not know he was there? She's a trained assassin for crying out loud! But no bad-ass here... instead she sobs when something major happens in that first 3%. Another thing that bothered me: Why does she go directly to the gutter in her head when Jason says he's basically going to save her? One last annoyance: Why does the author in the first 7% use the Jason and Blanche's first AND last name constantly? We know who they are...no need to use both names.

Couldn't connect with characters or storyline ..

I got this book when it was offered free and since I love biker books and the synopsis looked interesting, I had to read it.
I was a little disappointed that it seemed to be all over the place...people's emotions were changing at the drop of a hat...lust, distrust and anger all intermingled several times. I also hated that it ended on a big cliffhanger (one of my pet peeves) and yet it seems like the same scenario keeps repeating through the whole novella...Jason hates Blanche, doesn't trust her, then they make love or have wild sex and then fight again and then it repeats over and over.
I would have liked to read more background history of what happened to Blanche to make her become an assassin...and less of an intant-romance thing where they kiss and have sex within hours of meeting.
An ok short story if you can get it free or for 99 cents.


**** 3.5 **** "who are you and why are you really here?" stars

Even after a lackluster start to a series, I usually will go to book 2. Serveral have surprised me, and turned out to be good series, that improved with each installment. That might be the case with this series, but I won't be finding out. This book was not for me. Both characters are TSTL. I ranted the entire time.
I wish everyone the best on their journey through the rest of the series, but I'm out.

One last status update...I'll put a spoiler on...if she was busted out of jail, kicking and screaming...why is the cop asleep? I could see if they said knocked out, or drugged...but asleep?!? Wouldn't the screaming, fighting woman wake you up?

I this as a freebie which is a really good thing. Blanche is an assassin but cries at the drop of a hat. Huh! Blanche has been sent to town to kill Jason whom she course falls in love with with mere hours. Don't waste your time.

[Gale Albright]

This first book in the series starts off a little slow. We don't get much backstory and then there is insta-love that I am not a big fan of. I enjoyed the strong female lead, but was disappointed by the "biker" and his wimpy angry ways. I am going to read book two and hope for the best.

[Heather Grace]

Terrible ending to a predictable storyline.

The story was not overly interesting. The Harley references were not very good. Quick read though but the ending was the worst of any book I have ever read. Don't waist your time.

[Dayna R]

The story seemed too cluttered. This girl is supposed to be a trained assassin but she gets herself stuck within 5 minutes of the book. She's a damsel in distress and the back a forth between her and Jason was more annoying than anything.

[Deannie]

loved it...just hated the cliffhanger

Bought as part of the Blazing Hot Bad Boys (Boxed Set: MC Romance Bundle)

[☘KathyD☘]

This book had a lot of potential, but fell short for me. I might have to read the next book just to see what happens though.

[Carrie Smith]

I just couldn't get into this one.

[Lisa]

Oh I hope she is still alive. He loves her even though he doesn't want to admit it.

[Sheila Mamon]

Good potential - poorly written

This book would be awesome with major proofreading and editing - the quality is at the level of a rough draft.
The author has a very creative mind.

[Ellen Baer]

New Author for me loved it, finished in one night!

[Shaiza]

No words.
All I have to say is that the suspense is way too great. You have got to read. The drama, threats, love, and murder is just perfect.

[Bev Ross]

Very good book ! Very original heroine/ bad girl ;! Creative writer! I liked it!

[Deborah]

Not a bad short read

Well the story itself was short it was still very good. I would like to read on and find out more about what happens.

[Theresa Shaw]

Loved this book a lot
