Ravage MC Bound #5
Bound by Destiny
Love knows no names—no bounds—sometimes you’re bound by destiny…
Micah’s choices and actions when he was young left him estranged from his family—the Ravage MC family. Older and wiser, it’s now one of his biggest regrets … along with pushing Emery away.
Emery has been walking a tight rope for far too long. Everything has changed. Dealing with her near death experience, her brother’s return, and her parents problems have left her feeling very lost in a world she thought she knew.
Except—sometimes when we are so lost we manage to find exactly where we should be.
Jacks didn’t mean for it to happen, but Emery slammed into him like a freight train pushing all the buttons he’d kept locked down for far too long. Jacks though, can’t get caught up in a game of who is the better man. Been there, done that, and lost in a big way.
When everything changes, destiny is all we can hold onto. Emery finds herself caught between two very different men unable to keep her heart out of the mix.
Sometimes we bleed for others—and sometimes the past, it just won’t let go.
Other times—some people walk away not allowing us to have a choice in the matter ...
Those are the times that hurt the most and cut the deepest.

Ahhh, Jacks I think I may love you a little and you are exactly what Emery needs!
"This is what Pops meant about not being able to live or breathe without the other. What he left out was the other half of your soul. Yeah, it’s that deep. Never knew that love would feel like this all-consuming need for another human being."
What I love most about these books is family. No matter what at the end of the day they love and support each other. They have each other's backs and they know their brothers are always there!
"In life, there is hurt. In life, there is pain. In life, there is defeat. But there is also happiness, caring, and family. Even if getting to the latter you have to deal with some of the negative, it’s there."
And Emery I am so glad you were finally able to own your scars and not let what happened to you control you. Never let the monsters win!!

This is book 5 in the Ravage MC Bound series and it’s Emery’s story. I’ll try not to give anything away but I apologize ahead if I make a slip. This story follows Emery and her childhood love, Micah, and adult relationship/something, Jacks. I won’t tell you who she picks (or if she even HAS to chose maybe she ends up with them both?!?) but I will tell you I’m happy with the end result. Ryan Michele again delivers an awesome story that you can’t put down once you start reading. She drags you into the picture and abandons you there leaving you to find your way out by following along with the story. Making you feel what each character is feeling crying at certain moments (which is SO NOT COOL!!) laugh at others and cheer along for each character (except the bad guys cuz duh they’re the bad guys lol) but she again ends a story on a slight cliffhanger which is absolutely horrifying and almost a betrayal to me because one of my favorite characters/couples is in trouble WTF!?!?!?! Why! You can’t do this to me RM!
Besides that this is a must read but you need to read the other books in this series as well as the original Ravage MC to follow along and know who everyone is.

Enjoyable read. Definitely my favorite in this series so far. The love triangle didn't bother me because it is very low on drama If you are fan of the Ravage MC series highly recommend.

This book is unpredictable and power packed, full of action, suspense, and emotion. There is no way to know what's coming next as you turn each page. From Jacks who we learn so much about to the growth in both Emery and Micah. Whether you're #teamjacks or #teammicah everyone is #teamemery! An amazing edition to the Ravage MC family and a must read!

***5 ‘Hope Is Really All We Have In Life’ Stars***
I DEVOURED this book.
I did.
I couldn’t put it down. I needed to know all the good, bad and ugly that would happen between Emery, Micah and Jacks and when you simply add in the rest of the Ravage family, and the crazy that seems to follow them around, it becomes extremely difficult to put the book down for any length of time and did this one have a whole lot going on and the FEELS came out en masse.
Unfortunately, I can’t really talk about any of that that. I know it sucks, but it’s the whole cone of silence, no spoilery stuff allowed thing, so what can I talk about?
Let’s go with how I was #TeamEmery the entire time. This woman was simply awesome. She’s young, but she’s been through all kinds of crazy that’s had her grow up a lot faster than most her age. She’s strong and tenacious and has a really good heart. As for Jacks and Micah...alls I feel that I can say without giving away too much is that, in the end, I really liked them both. One more than the other, but they both left an impression and it was a good one.
As for the love triangle. I’m honestly not a fan of them, it’s just one of those things, but I really liked and enjoyed how this one played out. All three of the players in this came to some hard and unavoidable truths and they ended up setting all of them on the paths they were supposed to be on. And in the end, the choices made were the right ones.
I loved catching up with everyone in the family, especially Rylynn, though Mazie stole the show many times. And as with all the Ravage books, there is always so much more going on than just what is happening with those the book is focused on and this one had me yelling WTF?!? (in my head) a few times and then there is that ending....*Slow deep breath in...and out* Let’s just say I NEED the next book ASAP!

I seem to be in the minority on this - but Emery did nothing for me in this book. I spent the whole book trying to figure out where she got off thinking she was so smart that she could pass multiple judgments on Micah. She claimed to have loved him and been his friend, but she didn't portray that in this book at all. She acted like a scorned woman who was just above a toddler. When Jacks entered the picture, she was so far in her head she didn't even know he existed. To go from that to him being suddenly the only thing she seems to want was a stretch for me. Felt that Micah got shortchanged in this book. Everyone that was supposed to be his "family" pretty much shunned him. They constantly portrayed him to be a traitor and it was too much at points for me. His mother should have stood up and owned her part in shaping his opinion of the club. I understand that Ravage was a family to Emery, but she made it seem like anything they did was justified above all else. I got where Micah was coming from and the fact that the club never really tried to understand him led him away and that was just the way it was. Felt Tug didn't even really try to know him and that was a disappointment to me. Again, felt his mother needed to own her influence on him and his feelings towards the club and his father. Was not fan of this particular book, but have liked others in this series more. The ending was shocking and left me wondering where Ryan Michele is going with this series.

First Impressions
Bound by Destiny is the fifth installment in the Ravage MC Bound series. I really had no idea what I was getting into with this one if I am being honest. I wish that I had done some research on the content of this story before jumping right in. Most of her books, you can easily just jump into. But this one has some tropes that may be difficult for some readers and you may want to know beforehand before just jumping into this one. I almost DNF'd this book because I was not a fan of the first half of the story. I was really hoping that this would be Micah's story but it definitely felt a bit off. I do know that we get his full story later in the series.
First Line
"Hey" I answer the door with a smile on my face as I step aside for Micah to come through.
What I Loved
So there were some aspects that I really enjoyed. The plot of the story outside of the romance was very intriguing. We see some character growth from all characters involved but most especially Micah and Emery. I really enjoyed the chemistry that grows between Jacks and Emery, it was so fun to witness it grow throughout the story. We also see the relationship between Micah and MC and how tense that is. To be honest I don't even remember what he did that was so wrong when he was young, but we do see him face up to the consequences and make some choices that I think in the long run will make him a better man. And even though at first you want Micah and Emery to be together, once it gets to the later half of the story, you can see how together Emery and Jacks become together in this one. Their chemistry and connection is powerful and poginant at times and you really feel how they are "it" for each other.
What I Struggled With
The love triangle and how the MC treats Micah, most especially his father. I am not a fan in how these MC members treat their kids. I will never enjoy reading a love triangle and this one I wasn't able to mentally prepare for and it was just written in a way that wasn't going to endear me much.
Narration
The narration was actually pretty well on this one, I breezed pretty quickly throughout this one here.
Overall View
Bound by Destiny is a unique dynamic of elements that the author is able to bring together and really has you pulling for "THE" couple in the end.

Bound by Destiny is the fifth book in the Ravage MC Bound Series.
Emery has been through hell in the past few months. Trying to get her life back to normal is taking its time but with family around her she getting there. Also her friendship with Jack's is developing to so much more than just friendship. Jack's is there when she needs him the most!
Life always has a way of throwing a spanner in the works. Which comes in the form of her childhood friend Micah coming back to town. She hasn't seen him since he broke her heart and let her down as a friend. Emery has been in love with Micah since they were kids. Or is it is was in love with the thought of being in love with her childhood friend??
Bound by Destiny is probably one of my favourites of this series. And thats hard to say as i love this series, but this story pulled me in with a wonderful story and fantastic chemistry. I know which #Team i was rooting for but which will you??
Even though there isn't a cliffhanger, the ending will have you desperate for the next book in the series!!

Ugh..... I don't know why anyone would think a love triangle is a good idea.
Emery (daughter of GT and Angel) has had a crush on Micah (Tug and Blaze's son) since they were kids, but he's always kept her at arms length. After they kiss one night he tells her it was a mistake and leaves. Anyway, he's a jerk. Em is ready to move on with Jacks (club member) when Micah decides he's finally ready to make his move. Thankfully, Em makes the right decision, although it took her half the book to do it. There is more to Micah's background and other things going on, but you'll have to read to find out.
So I don't like love triangles. Thank goodness that Em doesn't lead either of them on. They have one or two moments where I thought I was going to have to kick her ass. Thankfully she realizes what she really wants. There was also no sex until around 67%. Man, you gotta give me more and a lot quicker than that.
There are several dramatic moments. Felt that might be a little OTT. It ends on a cliffy with two members possibly dying. There's also a moment where I think the wrong name was used.
AUDIO TROY DURAN. That should be all I need to say. He is the #1 sexiest voice in the world. His voice alone nearly had me giving this 5 stars. He honestly can do no wrong in my book.

Emery and Micah grew up as part of the Ravage MC family. Emery was the only one that Micah got close with, she knew he didn't want to be part of the MC and he let it be known. When Emery and Micah left for college, they got closer and Emery thought Micah shared the same intense feelings she had, she couldn't have been more wrong. Emery moves back home after a family emergency taking her classes online instead. She is finding her stride again when Micah shows up at the MC, she is shook up over his appearance but MC member Jacks steps in and takes her side.
Micah realizes he made mistakes where Emery is concerned, he knows he has wrongs to fix. He also wants to win Emery back but will she let him?
Jacks has had his eye on Emery for awhile, when Micah comes back he realizes its time to stake his claim. Will Emery choose him instead of Micah?
There is so much to this story that goes down and you are not sure which path Emery will go. I thought this was a bit angstier then the other books in the series but overall a gripping story. If you are looking for a new MC story to try that has several books, this is one to pick up. All so far are really good.

This is not your typical MC Outlaw read. I loved this fast paced, steamy, and often funny read with 2 very strong characters with a lot to prove.
The sins of their fathers continue to tumble in and threaten their futures.
Edgy, captivating, and highly entertaining, this story is easy to follow as a standalone. However, reading the other books in the series gives you insight into the dynamics of the characters and story.
The plot is exciting and combustible. The main characters are likable and well developed.

Emery and Micah were longtime friends. The fact that their families were part of a larger family, the MC, would be a great reason for the feeling they had for each other grows, right?
Well ... Sometimes life chooses for other ways.
Emery bittered some years of unrequited passion for Micah, but years later it was Jacks who conquered her heart.
The tattooed biker with angry face, Jacks (Jackson) is also that overprotective who soon sees in Emery the need to be always close to her.
From a protective spirit, Jacks is sure that Emery is the right woman for him, and when he decides to invest in that relationship, there is the danger of a love triangle.
Now Emery has two men at her disposal.
Which one will she choose? The overprotective biker or the crush of a lifetime?
4 stars

Bound By Destiny very well may be my favorite book by Ryan Michele to date. This review has really been difficult to type because I refuse to give any spoilers away, especially when everyone wants to know who will get the girl? Will it be Micah, he childhood crush and best friend who broke her heart, or will it be Jacks who is a member of Ravage MC who wants to claim her for his own? Well I am not going to tell you obviously because you need to read Bound By Destiny to find out.
I was hooked within a few sentences and the more I read I was torn on who I even wanted Emery to be with. I cried more than once because, well I can’t say but I felt a lot of emotions during this one. Not only does it have the drama and action that we have come to know and love in this series, it also had some really hot scenes.
Bound By Destiny is a must read if you are a fan of this series and the original one. Ryan Michele continues to pull me into the world of the Ravage MC and I don’t ever want to leave.

Eh that is it
First off I love this series as whole. Not to be a dick but this one fell short. Em I could not click with and Jack's was kind of loser. Micah is the one I felt sorry for in this book. He wanted to make it right and boom was like totally sh!t on. I really wanted to expect more out of this but when you have three characters use a loop hole to write him off i felt that was weak. Our of the whole ravage series this was the let down. All I hope is if and when Ryan writes that book I hope she puts more care into that character cuz when you reader gets to that chapter in the book sorry I felt more sorry for him then Jack's or emery! It felt like a mess and like a bad wwe story line!!!

We enjoyed Emery and Jack's story as their friendship blossomed, so did their love. After Micah's betrayal, Jack was just what she needed to get over him. Even though the attraction was pretty one-sided on Emery's part, it still hurt.
Overall, this was a cute story with great characters and a so-called love triangle. We loved how Emery stood by the man who picked up the pieces. Emery and Jack's attraction and chemistry are off the charts. Never a dull moment in the club created suspenseful moments, and then all those sweet moments that Jack created with Emery just melted your heart.

4.5 stars
I don't do love triangles and I'll tell you why. They NEVER choose the guy that I want for them. Seriously it's only happened in one series. So I was extremely nervous going into this book. I didn't want to get connected to either Micah or Jacks for fear that I'd fall in love with one and Emery would pick the other. But like Michele always manages to do I fell and I fell hard. The entire time I had this doubt in the back of my mind that my guy was going to loose out and I was setting myself up again but guess what? SHE CHOSE MY GUY!!! I literally jumped up and down I was so excited!
For going into a book I was afraid to love I came out of it with hearts in my eyes. It was written perfectly. There was just the right amount of MC drama to keep the storyline fresh from start to finish. We got multiple points of view which really helped you to understand where all the characters were at and we got to check in with all the men and woman we love from this MC.
Emery is a character I have loved since she was first introduced and Michele gave her one hell of a story. Growing up in the MC she had all the knowledge she needed to live in this world without letting it drag her down. She had such amazing strength of character that you can't help but love her. She is a thinker and isn't prone to acts of drama which just made me love her more.
I've always been a straight up Rhys groupie but this guy, my guy, has given him a run for the top spot.

Holy smokes this book is just WOW! There is no one word that can be used to sum up Bound by Destiny, it is gritty, gripping, thrilling, smokin, suspenseful, dramatic heart stopper that will kick you in the teeth and make you come back your more.
There is so much that happens in this book that if I was to go into details this review would be spoiler city and that I will not do as this book definitely deserves better. What I will say is that you must read this book, the Ravage MC family are up to their old tricks, taking names and breaking some heads. There are moments in this book that will have your jaw dropping and others that will pull at your heart strings, you will be so surprised by what happens in this book that you will not be able to put it down. A complete page turner from start to finish, there is no room for a slow paced story it just whacks you up the face and keeps on moving, but you will love it and ask for more, and when you get to the end you will want the next book in the series like yesterday.
Many thanks to Ryan Michele for bringing the Ravage MC into our lives you have enriched them with you words and I am now impatiently waiting for the next instalment.
Happy reading everyone 😍

5 Stars!
Ryan Michele is back with her Ravage MC Bound series... delivering a powerful, complicated, emotional, intense, and completely unforgettable romance that is going to twist you up in knots yet leaving you wholly satisfied in every way.
This book was so so good. While I tend to veer away from this type of storyline, I knew and trusted Ryan to not let me down...and I'm so so glad I took this chance. Angsty. All the feels. #TeamEmery ... who will she choose? One has always had her heart yet another fiercely storming her life. You might have a side because I totally did but Emery is going to choose with her heart and the journey their was epic.
Suspenseful. Action packed. Unexpected twists and turns. Get ready for one ride you'll never forget.
I won't spoil it or even give you one secret. Just know every moment, every feeling, every action was so worth it. You'll laugh. You'll swoon. You'll cry. You'll get hot and bothered. Most importantly you'll feel from the very first page.
I cannot wait for the next book in this series. And as for that ending... all the tears!
I highly recommend this book.

Bound By Destiny would have to be my favourite in the Ravage MC Bound series and even though I was #teamJacks from the start I will be forever #teamEmery from now until the very end. Emery's story is one about growth, determination, realization and coming to terms with your future. This female character is one strong woman and someone that you can seek inspiration from. As childhood wishes and dreams possibly become a reality this puts Emery's head into a spin when all of sudden a person you thought was a friend just might be more. The fifth book in this series is full of action and surprises at every turn and will keep you on the edge of your seat and have you anxiously awaiting outcomes and decisions. This latest instalment of the Ravage MC Bound series is full of grit, endeavours, secrets, angst, heartbreaking moments and passion so intense it will radiate its way from your Kindle to your fingertips. The bond and love between the Ravage MC family will be felt deep in your heart and soul with this book and even though a tear maybe shed here and there, their story will fill you so full of happiness that you will know it was all about Destiny.

So Much to Love!!
Emery and Micah had grown up within the Ravage MC but Micah had always stayed on the outside of the club never seeming to fit in. When they went off to college together Emery thought maybe their friendship had evolved into something more. That’s the time that they had lost their friendship and Emery had moved back home to be with her family again.
Jacks was there when Micah showed back up at the clubhouse with a look alike Emery sending the real Emery into a tailspin. It was Jacks who was there to pick Emery back up and he would do anything for this woman. Now decisions had to be made as to who she should give her love to. About the time she realized who the right person was all h*ll let loose and now she was praying that the family she loved was waiting in the emergency room for answers. The MC was going to make this person pay but it came with a price to the safety of Emery.
I loved the twists and turns in this story which kept me guessing all the way through. The chemistry and steam between Jacks and Emery was sizzling and I loved the conclusion she came to and how she explained her feelings for Micah. I cannot wait for more to come from the Ravage MC!

Bound by Destiny is the latest installment of the Ravage MC Bound series by Ryan Michele. And it is an emotional suspenseful story.
How can you pick between two very different men? For Emery, she is torn between her childhood love Micah and Jacks, a man that is part of the Ravage MC and has become more than just a friend.
Emery has had to overcome so much that I think it was hard for her to let go of past feelings and even harder for her to welcome the new feelings that had her confused. Both Micah and Jacks are men that are truly good and caring. But like her wise Pops told her it comes down to who can you see spending the rest of her life with.
Ryan Michele is brilliant at pulling every emotion out of a reader. I was truly torn about who Emery was going to pick. I was so anxious watching this play out. This series keeps getting better with every book but the ending of Bound by Destiny is a shocker and I am not so patiently waiting for the next!

Holy amazeballz this story nailed it!! This author every freaking time blows my mind, and how the hell am I suppose to have a fav ravage guy now? I can't that's like an impossible choice. I will tell you that I'm not Team Micah, I am however Team Jacks something about that man just drew me into the story. I so went into this story with my eyes open and while that may be the case I did have it ruined for me but, you wont get any spoilers from me. I will however say this don't read any reviews before digging in. Just know that Ryan really out did her self with this story and omg it's so worth it at the end the heartache, the love, the anger and the story plain and simple are amazing. Each page has something new and exciting to read about. All the characters are amazing and wonderful you can't get enough of them. MUST READ!!!!

***************MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS*******************
I may be biased but my butt was on a certain team all the way, I instantly fell in love with him and he didn't get on my nerves as much as the other man did, said other man just rubbed me the wrong way. Anyway the man Em chose would do anything for her if she asked, “you wanted me alone, didn’t have to drag me, babe. I’d come freely.” I loved Em's dad, he gave it to her man straight, “hurt her and I’ll string you up by your effin’ balls and use you as a piñata.” I loved this book, and I'm eager for more as always.

Bound by Destiny by Ryan Michele is one for the books it was amazing. Emery has two guys that want her Jacks and Micah who she has known her whole life. One of the two has made it clear that he is going to have her. Which guy will win Emery’s heart? You will need to read to find out I am not saying anymore so i dont give anything away. This book will leave you with tears and laughter but alot of tears so be prepared. Ryan Michele does a wonderful job with all her storys but this one is special. Make sure you have tissues ready.

When I started this book, I didn’t know what I expected, but I was totally surprised.
Emery and Jacks oh man they were hot together. When it started I really thought she was going to become totally obsessed with Micah, but the more you read and the more time she spent with Jacks you just knew there was no other way but for her to be with him. I am so Team Jacks, lol
I loved that their story wasn’t an insta love story but they spent time together they got to know each other and their feelings developed into an amazing relationship.

This is the 5th book in the Ravage MC Bound series. I am not new to Ryan Michele's writing. I love to read her MC series. Actually I love all MC Romance books. This was an outstanding book that I couldn't put down. It seemed that every time it was time for me to stop reading and do something I couldn't make myself quit.
I can say one thing I absolutely loved Emery from the beginning. She had an extremely rough life. But I just admired her spunk and her true heart. She is a good person. She is so in love with the fact that her school friend she always wanted came back to town. Jack's is around when she needs him the most. I can not say to much because I do not want to ruin this read for someone else.
There is a love triangle and I love the way that it ends. It makes you think of the phrase “ everything happens for a reason.” This book gives you all of the emotions that a great romance book gives. I love a book that makes you laugh and cry and scream.
I love this book and I love getting to see the past characters from the previous books. I know that I can't wait to read the next one. I hope that Ryan Michele is typing away right now on the next book!
