Psycho
They made a marriage pact when they were childhood sweethearts. Now that it’s time to carry out that promise, their mental health might tear them apart.
Psycho
My world was topsy turvy when I was growing up in the foster care system. But Roberta “Bobbie” McGrath was my ride or die through it all.
And we made a promise: if we were still single by the time we turned thirty, we would marry each other.
Well, time’s up.
And Bobbie is nowhere to be found.
Until I learn that she’s been right under my nose for years, working as a snitch for my motorcycle club.
Bobbie
The only person I trust in this world is Arrow “Psycho” Kirk. We’ve been through hell together, and I would do whatever it takes to keep him safe.
That includes protecting him from me.
I have a reputation for ruining everything I touch with my shitty mental health. And I refuse to ruin the life that Arrow worked so hard to build for himself in the little homey town of Juniper Creek, Colorado.
There’s no denying that we still have feelings for each other. But are we stable enough to swear until death do we part? Or will we end in disaster?

The Reckless Order MC – Psycho
This author never ceases to amaze me with the quality of books she writes always giving a new story to the alpha bikers she writes about. This one dealt heavy with mental health issues of two broken people who have learned to live with their issues in with this being a hard road for them from childhood on. Arrow and Bobbie had made a pact while in foster care of that if they weren’t married by the time they turned thirty they would marry each other.
There were a lot of twists and turns in this book which only made this book better. I always look forward to this author’s work.

They promised each other forever as kids. Now forever is asking more of them.
Arrow has spent years building the stability he never had growing up, but one piece of his past has never stopped belonging to him. Bobbie was his childhood best friend, first love, and the girl he promised to marry if they were both single at thirty. Now the deadline is here, and she's nowhere to be found.
Except Bobbie hasn't gone far. She's been hiding in the same small town, quietly protecting Arrow from the shadows. She still loves him fiercely, but she's convinced getting close means eventually wrecking the life he's fought to build.
When danger forces them face-to-face, years apart can't erase what exists between them. Arrow wants the future they once imagined, while Bobbie craves everything he offers but fears what happens if she stays. Their reunion becomes as physical as it is emotional, stirring old wounds alongside desires neither ever buried.
But loving each other isn't the same as believing they can make love last. Bobbie fears her instability makes her impossible to love, while Arrow carries trauma that still reaches into the life he's built. Together, they begin learning how to care without fixing, stay without trapping, and love without demanding perfection.
Bobbie accepts that being vulnerable and loved doesn't require becoming someone else. Arrow's protectiveness deepens into a devotion that respects her limits while letting her care for him too. Their lifelong attachment grows into something reciprocal, intimate, playful, and rooted in choosing each other as they are.
This high-heat second chance brings childhood sweethearts, found family, mental health, and mutual caretaking together in a story about two imperfect people discovering that a promise matters less than the choice to keep showing up for each other.
The Elevator Pitch: A childhood promise resurfaces when two people shaped by the same fractured past find their way back to each other. Their chemistry is immediate, but building a future means facing the fears, scars, and restless instincts that once pulled them apart. Fiercely devoted and deeply intimate, their second chance asks whether forever requires stability or simply someone willing to keep choosing you.

Book Review
Book: Psycho: The Reckless Order MC
Author: Audrey Bell
Audrey Bell never ceases to amaze me with the stories she creates for her alpha bikers, and Psycho is another powerful addition to the Reckless Order MC series.
What made this book stand out for me was the emotional depth behind Arrow and Bobbie’s story. These are two people who have both been shaped by difficult childhoods, trauma, and mental health struggles, and their connection goes all the way back to their time in foster care. As children, they made a promise that if neither of them was married by the time they turned thirty, they would marry each other. It sounded simple then, but life had very different plans for both of them.
Arrow eventually found stability, brotherhood, and a family within the Reckless Order MC, while Bobbie continued to struggle with the belief that she could never truly fit into someone else’s life without eventually destroying it. Even while keeping her distance, though, she never stopped loving Arrow and quietly watched over him from the shadows.
When they finally come face-to-face again, the years apart haven’t erased anything between them.
I loved that their story wasn’t simply about Arrow rescuing Bobbie or trying to “fix” her. Both of them carry scars, fears, and struggles of their own, and they have to learn how to love each other without demanding that the other person become someone different. Arrow’s protectiveness is strong, but there is also tenderness in the way he learns to respect Bobbie’s limits, while Bobbie slowly begins to understand that being loved does not mean she has to become perfect first.
There are plenty of twists, danger, MC tension, and suspense throughout the story, but underneath all of that is a very emotional second-chance romance between two people who have always understood each other in a way no one else could.
I also loved the found-family aspect of the Reckless Order MC. Arrow may have lost so much early in life, but he eventually found people who stand beside him, and that added another beautiful layer to his story.
This is not always an easy romance because both characters carry heavy emotional baggage, but that is exactly what makes their journey so meaningful. Their happily-ever-after feels earned rather than handed to them.
Another strong and emotional story from Audrey Bell, filled with love, danger, loyalty, vulnerability, and two imperfect people finally realizing that forever isn’t about being flawless—it’s about continuing to choose each other.
If you love emotional MC romances, childhood sweethearts, second chances, found family, and protective alpha bikers, Psycho is definitely worth reading.

Audrey Bell never ceases to amaze me. With every installment in The Reckless Order MC series, she manages to deliver a compelling narrative of resilience and redemption, and book five, Psycho, is an absolute standout.
This gripping novella dives deep into the heavy, raw mental health struggles of two profoundly broken people. Arrow, known in the club as Psycho, and Bobbie share a history written all over their hearts.
Having survived severe parental neglect together in the foster system, they forged a solemn childhood pact that if they weren't married by thirty, they'd marry each other.
Life pulled them apart.
Arrow found a brotherhood and a sense of settlement with the MC in Juniper Creek, while Bobbie endured homelessness, severe insomnia, and manic episodes that kept her constantly on the move.
When Bobbie finally drifts back into Juniper Creek, she reconnects with Arrow. Though she still loves him, deep-seated insecurities convince her that she would only complicate his stable life, so she chooses to quietly watch over and protect him when danger comes calling instead.
Meanwhile, Arrow remains haunted by his own dark memories and restless nights, longing for the one woman who truly comprehends the battles he has fought.
Bell masterfully weaves raw motorcycle club tension—featuring a gripping murder mystery, attempted violence, and heavy pasts—with an underlying, profound tenderness.
Navigating themes of mental illness, emotional distress, and past trauma with genuine vulnerability, the narrative builds steadily toward a hard-fought, deeply earned happily-ever-after.
The setting of Juniper Creek feels alive, capturing the perfect blend of danger, fierce loyalty, secrets, and found-family warmth, all while featuring childhood sweethearts, a long-lost love, and a second-chance romance rolled into one fast-paced novella.
Right from the very first pages, this story completely captivates the reader. Arrow and Bobbie are deeply affectionate souls craving absolute acceptance for all their frayed edges, and watching them become each other's sanctuary is a profoundly rewarding journey.
If you love MC intensity mixed with deeply emotional, character-driven second-chance romance, add this unputdownable gem straight to the top of your TBR pile today.
Bell's writing shines with swagger, sincerity, and heart, making this an engaging addition to the series.

Psycho (given name Arrow) has had insomnia for three straight nights, and when he’s like this, he starts taking things apart and putting them back together. He has nightmares of the day he almost died when he was six years old. He ended up in foster care, where he later meets Bobbie, who, from what I can tell, is manic-depressive. Her family literally just gave her up because she was “too much”. Her five siblings apparently were perfect little angels.
I have a bit of experience with how Bobbie feels. Okay, I have a lot of experience with how she feels. When I was nineteen years old, after a traumatic experience, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I manage it with medication, and before you ask, no, it doesn’t numb me. It just lets me be who I really am, and not what the disorder tries to make me. So, Bobbie, honey, I get you. I get you big time.
Bobbie has actually been in town for four years. FOUR YEARS! And she knows Psycho is around, knows he’s with the Reckless Order MC. She’s even been snitching, first for Hillbilly, the former president, and now for Pretty Boy. And she gives the new prez details on how Huxley, the former leader of the Filthy Rebels MC, has busted out of prison and is coming for Arrow.
Oh, did I mention they made a marriage pact a long time ago? Well, they did. And Arrow is going to collect.
This is one of the sweeter installments in this series, despite the mortal danger coming for Arrow, and by association, Bobbie. They both think they’re broken, but they’re not. They never were. They just processed things at a different level than “the norm”. Yes, they have been through trauma. But that doesn’t mean they’re worthless or unlovable. Not everybody feels and thinks the same way, and knowing well what it’s like in my own head, I wanted to hug those two kids and tell them they’re okay.
This is another worthy entry into the Reckless Order MC, and I’ve liked every book that’s come before it. But this one touched me on a deeper level, simply because of the mental disorder representation, and I thank the author for that. Get your mitts on this book, folks. You won’t regret it.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Bobbie & Arrow
This is the fifth instalment in the author’s The Reckless Order MC series of books and it is Psycho’s turn, with a blood promise, a long-lost love and a murderer on the loose to round off this novella. There are also themes of past parent neglect, betrayal and drama, attempted murder, mental illness, violence and emotional distress, but it culminated in a hard-fought HEA for the two main characters.
Both Bobbie and Arrow were in the foster system and with their parents neglecting them, they fought through the trenches together to battle their mental health, insomnia and to make it through life. They lost touch and Arrow has joined the brotherhood of the club whilst Bobbie had a harder time of it, living homeless and trying to get through every day in one piece.
Bobbie’s manic episodes means she travels from one place to another and she comes back into contact with Arrow in Juniper Creek and elects to stay there for a while. She sees Arrow as settled and building a life with the brethren and though she still loves him, she won’t taint him with her insecurities, so she decides to quietly protect him when trouble comes calling for him. Arrow still struggles with his insomnia and thoughts of the hardships he had to endure and he misses his link with the woman who understands everything he has battled.
Through the twists and turns of the tale we see them give in to each other and Arrow has every intention of honouring their old promise to marry each other and to live a life together. This was another engaging novella from a wonderful author and I look forward to reading more stories about the brotherhood and their better halves.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the hours of respite this reading has gifted me and thank the author for giving me the opportunity to enjoy the arc and provide my voluntary review.

Arrow, also called Psycho by the Reckless Order MC, was put into foster care at the age of 3 when his alcoholic father set the house on fire and died. Bobbie's parents gave up custody of her at the age of 8 when they realized that she was diagnosed with various mental illnesses, including bipolar.
They met while in foster care, then lost touch when Arrow turned 18 and aged out of the foster care system, then found each other again inside a psych ward. They made a deal that if neither was married by the age of 30, then they would marry each other; then they lost touch with each other again.
Psycho found the Reckless Order MC and found a family to belong to. Bobbie bounced around from place to place until one day each ended up in the same town as Psycho.
For 4 years, Bobbie found a way to leave while homeless, all the while protecting Psycho from afar. Bobbie believed that she had to stay away from Psycho because, thanks to being bipolar, she ruined every relationship she had been in.
Then one day Psycho found her, and he wasn't going to let her go; he was going to make good on his promise to marry her.
What happens when two people love each other, but one is afraid of ruining the other?
This is book 5 of The Reckless Order MC; you don't want to miss it. I recommend you read the other 4 books in this series first before reading this one; don't worry, they are all worth reading.

I loved what was at the base of this story: the childhood romance, rekindled as early adults, then given a second chance when the characters were in their 30s. Bobbie and Psycho, whom she calls Arrow (presumably his given name), have a strong base of love, and a pact that they would get married if they were both single at age 30. This isn’t about one of them finding the other to fulfill that pact, however. It’s about two people who never stopped being in love with each other. About two people helping each other travel through times of trouble and torment. About two people who have mental illness, and the deep connection between them.
I don’t know how difficult it is to write about characters with a mental illness in a romantic relationship. But I do know how difficult it is to have a mental illness and be in a relationship, and it’s even more difficult when the partner has also got mental health issues. But the author wrote about bipolar disorder in a way that was respectful but interesting, and not overly dramatized or cartoonish. The author even got the dichotomy of being labeled “crazy”: the hurt and the feeling of being seen.
I really enjoyed this book. Bobbie and Arrow were engaging characters. The plot, though very thin, was exciting. It’s a short book, but a good one.

Review of advance copy
The opening chapters of PSYCHO stole my breath. Arrow (Psycho) and Bobbie are two very broken people. They are love-starved, and have a need so deep to their very soul to have someone that accepts them as they are—with all their broken, fractured bits. This is a lovely love story. I’m so glad I read it. Arrow and Bobbie are two caring, loving souls that bring calm and joy to one another. Their journey to be each other’s forever is not easy. But, watching them support each other and seeing the results . . . ? Worth every minute. Good Stuff.

What a wild, wonderful, emotionally charged ride! Psycho pulls you in right away with a childhood promise, a second-chance spark, and two unforgettable characters who clearly have history written all over their hearts. Arrow and Bobbie’s bond feels intense, loyal, and wonderfully messy in the best bookish way, making their journey impossible not to root for from the very first page.
Audrey Bell’s writing shines with heart, grit, and personality. She balances the motorcycle club edge with tender emotional stakes, giving the story both swagger and sincerity. I especially loved how the writing makes Juniper Creek feel like a place full of danger, loyalty, secrets, and found-family warmth, all while keeping the focus on two people trying to decide whether love can survive everything life has thrown at them.
This is the kind of book that feels dramatic, romantic, and addictive without losing its humor or heart. If you enjoy second chances, childhood sweethearts, motorcycle club intensity, and characters who fight hard for the people they love, this one is easy to recommend. Five big stars for Audrey Bell and this gripping, heartfelt addition to the Reckless Order MC series!.

I couldn’t get enough of this book, I want more of this series ASAP! Psycho AKA Arrow grew up in the foster care system after a fire took his father from him. Psycho suffers from mental illness, PTSD from the fire. When he aged out of the system he lost touch with the only person he ever loved and who ever truly understood him and his issues. Bobbie met Arrow while in foster care, they became inseparable. Arrow was the one who ever made Bobbie feel normal, he understood her neurosis better than he knew his own. He never made her feel like an odd ball when they were together. After aging out of the system she finally found him again but after seeing how well he was doing and not wanting to upend his life she decided to keep her distance and became the Reckless Order MCs anonymous snitch. Audrey wrote an amazing romance that shows that time apart doesn’t negate the love that’s been there all along. And that even those with disabilities deserve happiness. I loved this series and I look forward to reading the next book Audrey releases.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Arrow/Psycho and Bobbie made a pact as children ; if they weren’t married to anyone else by age 30, they would marry each other. Well life has been cruel to them both, aging out of foster care two years apart, as well as both suffering from different mental disorders, they lost each other for over 16 years. Suddenly the snitch giving the Reckless Order MC information, wasn’t some nameless, faceless female. It was Bobbie and life had been extremely unkind. This book touched my heart in more ways than any of the previous books in the series, it deals with not only mental health issues, but homelessness and being targeted for it. There’s so much heat between them, but Psycho makes sure at every turn Bobbie’s able to make her own choices and if he’s unsure of her capabilities, he waits. It filled my heart up with joy and anger, joy that he did, anger that he had too. 5✨’s for a book full of heart and appropriate heat !.

Bobbie's been on her own for so long it's hard for her to trust. After he aged out of foster care she didn't think she'd ever see Arrow again, and after him being witness to her manic episodes she wasn't sure she wanted to!
'I ruined everything I touched.
Holding down a career was suffocating. Dating felt like navigating a mine field. One wrong step and the relationship exploded.
I didn’t just burn bridges. I obliterated them like an atomic bomb, with nothing but a nuclear wasteland left in my wake.'
When Arrow aka Psycho, realises that the club informant is his long lost Bobbie, he desperately tries to get her to stay. Using every tool at his disposal, he plays to win
“I don’t need a ring or a wedding or a certificate of marriage to love you, Bobbie,” he said. “I have always wanted just you. Whatever wacky color your hair is. Whatever is going on in your brain. I. Want. You.”
A great addition to this series with fantastic characters and a HEA with extended epilogue.

This was another gripping addition to the series and I loved seeing Arrow/Psycho and Roberta/Bobbie finally get their HEA together. These two were childhood sweethearts in foster care and had made a vow to marry each other if they were still single at 30. He's been wondering about her as his 30th approached and was more than ready to honour that vow. Bobbie has been in town for a few years, living out of her car, and now, working as a snitch for the Reckless Order MC. You'd think that would have her in Psycho's sights, but nope, our girl is careful to not drag him down to her world... Both of them have mental health struggles and the author did a fab job representing that while letting the readers see them as the wonderful people they are. She also included plenty of action, danger, chemistry and steam as Bobbie and Psycho worked their way to a fab HEA. I loved it and look forward to the next book :D

It's so rare to find someone who gets it, understands, supports, and can accept all the complicated, weird, or messed-up sides (not influencing for the worse but maybe for the better). Therefore, it's rather sad for the protagonists to be estranged.
Sweet, emotional, dealing with danger in between, complete, happy reconnection.
I'm just wondering how they never crossed paths during the four years the heroine was in the same town as the hero. That's a long time for her to be in one place, I assume, and just looking over him while surviving. Quite a commitment and a strong will not to give in and meet him in person again after all this time.
Got me thinking it must be annoying a person can't have peace at home because anything can happen at any time of day and therefore always needs to be in a decent state of presence.

Arrow (aka Psycho) is struggling with brutal insomnia, taking things apart to quiet the nightmares of the childhood trauma that landed him in foster care. That's where he first met Bobbie—a girl abandoned by her own family for being "too much." Fast forward through four years of secret snitching, prison breaks, and looming danger from the Filthy Rebels MC, and Arrow comes to collect on the childhood marriage pact they made years ago.
Despite the mortal danger closing in, this is easily one of the sweetest, most emotionally resonant installments in the Reckless Order MC series! Both Arrow and Bobbie believe they are broken, but they just process the world on a different level. Their connection shows that trauma doesn't make you unlovable or worthless. Reading their journey made me want to give them both a giant hug and tell them they are completely okay. A heartwarming, intense, and deeply moving read!.

How could you not fall in love with these two beautiful broken people.
Psycho/Arrow is a member of the Reckless Order MC. He had a traumatic childhood that caused him PTSD and suffer from insomnia. There is only one person who has even known how to calm his demons.
Bobbie grew up in foster care with Arrow/Psycho. She has never felt as if she belonged anywhere and has never stayed in one place for long. That changed when she saw Psycho after several years. She has always loved him but feels the need to protect him even from herself. She starts working as a snitch for his MC club and when she finds out he is in danger she must protect him at all costs.
What happens when two beautifully broken people realize that the only salvation they ever need is in the each other.
I love how Psycho takes care of Bobbie. He loves her unconditionally and sees what she tries to hide.
Such an emotional sweet read.

Firstly I must say thank you for my ARC of this book via Booksprout. Audrey never fails to produce a book that isn't compelling from the first to the last word and this short and sweet (in some parts) was another smash. The writing was amazingly good as it always is from Audrey. The main couple were adorable. They made a pact as children which neither of them ever forgot and subconsciously were waiting for it to come true. They meet as adults and Bobbie is living in her car and Arrow (Psycho) has a home and is part of an MC club and is a valued member. They are both broken but will come together and as result all the cracks will be glued together. The pact? Well....if you want to know what the pact is you will have to read this book. I know fans of Audrey will be devouring it and those who have not read this author before will want to read others of hers after reading this one. As for me, I am excited and will patiently for Audrey's next book.

This book is amazing! Psycho is the next one to have his story told and I love how it unfolds! He has been notified that a rival biker he helped put in prison has escaped and is looking for revenge. This will end up bringing him back in touch with his childhood sweetheart, Bobbie. The two spent time in foster care together and promised to marry each other when they hit 30 if they hadn’t found someone else. She’s back in town and providing information on the rival gang. She suffers from mental health issues but she’s the only one Psycho has ever wanted. Their road to happiness is a little bumpy but with the help of Psycho’s Reckless Order brothers and their love for each other, Bobbie and Psycho finally find the happily ever after they never thought they would have!.

This was a really sweet biker romance with a childhood-sweetheart storyline. Both main characters have feelings for each other, but each of them believes they aren't good enough for the other, which creates an interesting obstacle between them.
They even have a marriage pact from when they were younger, so it was really cute to see how that eventually comes back into play and how they slowly find their way back to each other.
The story does deal with some harder topics, but they are balanced with the sweeter parts of the romance. I particularly enjoyed watching the two characters overcome their insecurities and finally realize what they mean to each other.
Overall, this was a really nice and heartwarming biker romance with a cute premise and a satisfying relationship development. I enjoyed reading it.

Review of advance copy
Bobbie and Arrow (Psycho) have been friends sincea childhood in foster care and reconnected during a stay in a psychiatric hospital in their 20s. They made a vow to marry each other if they weren’t married to anyone else by 30.
Arrow has moved past some of the damage of his childhood and has found family with The Reckless Order MC.
Bobbie hasn’t been so fortunate. She’s living in her car, and with no address she has no access to the medication she needs. She believes she’s too broken, and that she breaks everyone around her.
While this was a short book, it sensitively portrayed mental health challenges and what happens to the homeless.
I loved how Arrow was waiting for Bobbie, and how he loved her with all of her faults.
It packed a lot of story into a short book.

Enjoyed the book. Psycho had a run in with Huxley, from a rival MC, and was stabbed. Huxley has escaped from prison and is going to be looking for retribution. Bobbie and Psycho grew up in foster care and she is in Juniper Creek, hiding from Psycho, while snitching to the MC. When she calls a meeting, Pyscho will sneak to the meeting and will recognize Bobbie. He takes her to his house and discovers how thin she is and that she has been living in her vehicle. Psycho is still attracted to her and wants to seal the promise they made to each other when they were together last. This story is full of drama, promises, mixed emotions and has a happy ending. I enjoyed reading this story.

“Psycho” grew up in the foster system and Bobbie was his best friend. They promised each other that if they were both single at 30, they would get married. Psycho has built stability with the Reckless Order MC in Juniper Creek, but he’s still haunted by nightmares and the chaos of his childhood. Bobbie, meanwhile, has spent years drifting, homeless, unmedicated for her mental health issues and is convinced that she ruins everything she touches. Her solution is heartbreaking: stay close enough to protect Arrow, but far enough not to “taint” his life. When Psycho finds out she has been close by for the last four years, he's ready to call on their marriage pact. It's clear there are still feelings between them but will he get Bobbie to agree to their long ago pact?
Review of advance copy received from Author
Psycho and Bobbie made a promise that if they were not married by 30 they would marry eachother. It was a blood pact.
Psycho has no idea were to find her. Bobbie, to his surprise is closer than he thinks. 👀
Their shared past is traumatic, spanning mental health, PTSD and homelessness. 🥺
The reunion was not planned, neither is an escaped convict bent on revenge.
Audrey, as usual, packs it all into a short steamy action romance.
Have enjoyed all the books in this series, and look forward to the next book!
