Rattler (Riptide MC 5): A Riptide MC Romance
Lily ran from a nightmare straight to Rattler's arms. He’s all leather, muscle and lethal promise. Dare she hope for an HEA?
Lily -- Abusing me was bad enough, but when my a**hole of a boyfriend threatened to shoot a tiny kitten, I brained him with a pot of spaghetti sauce and ran -- straight into the arms of the tattooed VP of the Riptide MC. He’s everything my ex isn’t, and that gives me hope. He promises to keep Scrapper and I safe, but my ex isn’t the forgiving kind. He said he would kill me if I left him and I know he’s going to come looking for revenge.
Rattler -- She might be younger than me in years, but there’s a world of experience looking out of those gorgeous eyes, and it isn’t the good kind. When she pulled a gun on me, I knew she was my kind of woman. She’s on the run from an a**hole who used her as a punching bag. He might have the local law enforcement in his pocket, but me and my brothers in Riptide have military experience, and sometimes vigilante justice is necessary.
Trigger This is an MC action thriller romance. It contains violence, abuse, coarse language, vigilante justice, and adult situations. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Enjoy!

Some books grab you by the throat and don’t let go. Rattler is one of those — gritty, fiercely protective, and heartbreakingly tender all at once. When Lily smashes a pot of spaghetti sauce into the head of the man who’s been destroying her, she doesn’t just break a bottle of rage—she breaks free. But freedom comes with danger, and the promise of safety arrives wrapped in tattoos and muscle: Rattler, the VP of the Riptide MC.
Rattler is rough around every edge and steady in the places that count. He sees the steel behind Lily’s fear, and instead of judging, he vows to protect her—and Scrapper, the tiny kitten who became the spark that lit Lily’s courage. What follows is not a fairy tale. It’s a raw, pulse-quick story about the cost of escape, the price of revenge, and the astonishing, fragile thing that grows when two damaged people stop running and start trusting.
Anne Kane writes motorcycles and moonlight like a second language, but what she does best here is people. The MC brotherhood feels like a living family—flawed, loyal, dangerous when needed—and Rattler’s protective fierceness never tips into toxicity; it’s fiercely consensual protection born from respect. Lily’s trauma is handled with grit and care: she’s not a damsel, she’s a survivor learning to be soft again. Their chemistry simmers and then scorches, but the emotional core is the healing that comes when someone chooses you over fear.
If you crave dark-romance with a moral spine, vivid worldbuilding, and characters who fight for one another (sometimes with their fists, sometimes with their hearts), Rattler will keep you reading long past bedtime. Expect danger, expect heat, but most of all expect a fiercely earned redemption that lands like a fistful of hope.

This is a fab addition to this gritty series and I loved seeing Rattler find his perfect woman in Lily. She's escaped an abusive relationship with a kitten and ends up in the safe haven of Riptide MC, and Rattler's arms ;D Both of these characters are on the broken side but together, they find healing and a smoking hot love. With his MC beside him, Rattler finds a way to keep her safe and let them have the fab HEA they both deserve. Definitely engaging and a page turner for me. Good fun!

Wedding Bells are Ringing
Great addition to the Riptide MC Series ! Rattler and Lily are a sweet couple and the kitten gives Willow a playmate . 5✨’s for a mellow storyline with minimal adversity.

Rattler and Lily.
I've been really impressed how she makes these short books so complete. But, this one had a rather abrupt ending.
