Another Fantastic MC Romance

If you are looking for a page turning MC romance that has it all, this is the book for you. I cannot believe we are 16 books into the Savage Legion MC series because each book seems fresh and just as incredible as the last book. We now have Patch and Beth’s story and it was one of promises and protection.

On her own with a creepy stepfather willing to offer her up to clear his debts she runs for help to the family she grew up knowing. She had always crushed on the son but now he was not only a doctor but a member of the Savage Legion MC and quite a bit older than her. Beth and Patch decided on a paper only marriage to help protect her but eventually that paper marriage turned into so much more.

The suspense and steam in this book was superb. I’m so happy that this couple would get their HEA.

Addictive couple

Patch's Bride is the sixteenth book in the Savage Legion MC series. I have only read a couple books in this series and enjoyed them, just as I did with this book. The story is about Beth and Patch. When she overhears her stepfather talking about selling her to cover his debts she runs to her mother's best friend. There she is able to find a way out of this whole mess, Patch. He realizes that the only way to keep Beth safe is to marry her, if only in name. But will that be enough protection or will he quickly discover that there is more to their marriage when danger comes looking for her again.

**From Paper to Real Marriage!**

The 16th book in the Savage Legion MC series is titled *Patch’s Bride*. This series just keeps getting better and better. The characters and the world the author has created are so well written, and Patch and Beth are so cute and perfect for one another that you can't help but like them and root for their happily ever after (HEA). Although we have glimpsed Patch in past books, it is finally his turn to find his HEA.

The only problem is that Patch has never been interested in settling down until his mother’s best friend's daughter, Beth, needs help. He steps up to protect her and vows to keep her and everyone she loves safe. Beth may be sweet and young, but she is also wise for her age and independent. She is not afraid to do whatever it takes to protect the people she loves, even if it puts her own safety at risk. What was supposed to be just an arrangement on paper has now blurred the lines because it has become real.

This may be a short, slow-burning love story, but it packs plenty of action and suspense that keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. I found myself reading it in one sitting because I didn't want Patch and Beth’s story to end. If you are a fan of MC romance, age-gap relationships, and over-the-top protective alpha males, then this is definitely a must-read for you.

This is the 16th book in the Savage Legion MC series. He is a club doctor, and dedicated to his brothers. When his mom calls him and asks him for help, he shows up only to find her. She was the daughter of his mom‘s best friend who’s passed away and now her stepfather is planning to traffic her to clear his own debts. She needs protection, and his mother thinks if he marries her it will make her safe. He is reluctant until he sees the real threat. But due to their age gap he’s determined to keep things at a distance. He doesn’t know that she grew up with a giant crush on him and she doesn’t know that he isn’t gonna be able to keep things strictly business for long. This on par with much of the rest of the series is a quick read with engaging characters, including other members of the MC you’ve met in previous stories. Each story is its own stand alone, but you do get to check back in with previous couples as the series builds. The stories are good. The writing is a little simplistic, but it still gets you there in the end.

Age gap. Gunfire. Grandbaby dreams. Welcome back to Savage Legion.

Another great adventurous ride with the Savage Legion MC.

Solomon—aka Patch—is a doctor prospecting for the club, juggling his new practice and training a fresh PA. Dating isn’t on his radar… but his mother has other plans. When her goddaughter Beth appears on her doorstep in the dead of night, Mama Patch’s matchmaking instincts kick into overdrive. Using her son’s MC connections as both a shield and a setup, she’s determined to secure Beth’s safety—and maybe a few grandbabies in the process.

What unfolds is an age-gap romance wrapped in danger, devotion, and destiny. Childhood crushes get tested under fire as Beth becomes a target for human traffickers, forcing Patch to straddle his two worlds: the upstanding doctor and the outlaw protector. Can he save the woman who reawakens every hidden dream he thought he’d buried—and claim a future he never saw coming?.

I liked the book because I thought the author made the Marriage of Convenience and the Fake Relationship tropes seem fresh. It takes a talented writer to take an established trope and make it their own.
My interpretation of the blurb: His parents arrange for the reluctant Patch (a doctor) to wed Beth on paper in order to protect her from her stepfather’s evil machinations. Patch is prospecting for the Savage Legion, later becoming a member.
Book is SAFE.
Heat is EXPLICIT with a VIRGIN HEROINE and MEDIUM BURN.
TRIGGERS include trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, violence, and language.
MC is NOT 1%.
TROPES include Arranged Marriage, Marriage of Convenience, Fake Relationship, Invalid Relative, Ebil Stepfather, Doctor Hero, Matchmaking Mama, Rival MC, Childhood Crush.

Patch has so much going on between his practice and the MC, he does not have time for dating. When his mother calls him, he knows it is urgent but her wording. Her best friend's daughter, Beth is in trouble, her stepfather is trying traffic her. His mother thinks the only way to protect her is for him to marry her. They enter in a marriage of convenience, she is much too young for him.

The more time they spend together, the more the chemistry heats between them. Beth's stepfather is not going to give up easily and Patch and Savage Legion MC will need to protect her. Beth is keeping secrets from her new husband and will need to come clean for him to help her.

I love the Savage Legion series and Patch’s book is a welcome addition. I’ve loved getting to know Patch in previous books and was excited to see him get his own story. Ms. Ray has given Patch a great partner in Beth. She’s sweet and innocent, but she’s also strong and determined and will stand up and fight for the people she loves. They have a very unconventional beginning, but it wouldn’t be an Aria Ray story if they didn’t quickly fall for each other…thank goodness. This book is full of sweetness, humor and excitement. It takes off quickly and doesn’t let up until the end…so great! Can’t wait to see who’s up next…great job, Ms. Ray!

A wonderful age difference story. We follow Patch and Beth, because she does not want to be married off, they decide to have a fake marriage, although it starts as a sham marriage and Patch wants to keep it that way, it does not take long before feelings arise between the two and it becomes real and he becomes very protective of Beth especially when the danger of her stepfather has not yet passed and he does everything he can to protect her and, if necessary, takes on anyone who dares to touch her.

I really enjoyed this story. It starts with Beth running away from home after she over hears her stepfather's nefarious plans for her after her mother died of cancer. She runs to Caroline, a friend of her mom's because she has no place else to go. Patch is Caroline's son. He is also a doctor and prospect for the Savage Legion MC. Together they devise a plan to keep her safe. But will it be enough to save her. Check it out to see. There is an intriguing plot in this story and it kept me reading till the end.

Patch's Bride could have been a 5 star read. It has wonderful characters in Patch and Beth. It's an age gap romance that has Patch, as the hero, stepping up to save the girl. It also has family angst with a wicked stepfather. I was totally into the story until the TSTL moment when the female character can make the right call and let someone know what's going on or sacrificing themselves. I really dislike the second choice as anyone with common sense would know how that will work out. It creates drama for a book, but I like my characters to be smarter than that.

Savage Legion MC book 16 is Patch and Beth's story. It's a great, fast-paced, marriage of convenience story that quickly pulls you in and doesn't let you go so quickly. Patch/Doc is the MC doctor/medic and Beth is the one he'll completely destroy the world for. It doesn't start out that way but their relationship develops into more very fast. Patch's Bride is a fantastic addition to the Savage Legion MC!

In order to prevent her stepfather from selling her to pay off a debt, she enters into a marriage of convenience with the son of her godmother.

Patch plans for this marriage to be in name only, however it doesn't take long before the feelings between them become real.

Beth is very young and Patch is almost 40 so to his way of thinking, Beth is not the right one for him. Beth's actions throughout the story makes her seem much older than she is.

Patch and Beth come together when his mom/her mom’s friend calls him to get Beth somewhere safe from Beth’s stepdad. Her step monster wants to offer her up for his debt payment but she runs. Patch and her decide to marry on paper only to help protect her. But what happens when the threat is taken care of, will he let her go or keep her for real. A good story in this series of MC protective alpha males.

Patch, the Club doc has no plans to ever settle down between his outside practice and club business. When his mom calls he goes and finds himself in a marriage on paper to save a young woman. Patch had no chance against falling for Beth and when she is threatened all bets are off. I always enjoy this series and hope it continues!.

I was glad that Patch didn't end up with someone who was rescued by the club but instead someone that was close to his family and him growing up.
Little did Beth know that the crush she had on her mother's best friend's son would come to fruition. Or that she would need his help not only for herself but also her half sister.
Loved the age gap even though Beth was alot younger than Patch he never held it over her. Can't wait to read the next book

It was interesting to see Patch's view change on things with Beth. From pretty much being forced/guilted into marrying her to both of them deciding they liked what they had and would change things to being real. Of course they realized this as drama after drama came at Beth, all stemming from her POS stepfather. I was glad to see how things ended there and happy that this couple can now live their lives happy and with no threats.

I adored Patch's character from a previous book, and was super excited to finally get his story! I love how he gets to show his protector side and that he can be dangerous in a fight with his medical knowledge. He calls it playing dirty but seems fair to me LOL I appreciate that these two knew each other through their parents throughout their life and get together as adults. Tons of suspense and action in this story.

The author has given us a wonderful older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Patch, Beth and her sister, Lila. The heart pounding story keeps us turning the pages with an arranged marriage, connection, danger, realizations and steam.

Oh! Momma.....

This was a very enjoyable read! It has action, intrigue and some good lovin. Patch is the center of this tale and he does not disappoint. The doctor is a badass! Surprised, I was and it makes the story even more exciting because he has something to fight for and it is not surgery. Five star must read. Love this author, she knows how to write. Peace out.

So much action

How much can one woman take and not go crazy? Her mother has passed, married on paper, a sister with special needs, both kidnapped and sold by her step father, rescued by her husband and the SL MC and then kidnapped again by the Grave Diggers MC. What a roller coaster of emotions and so much action.
Also a wonderful HEA.
