He’s big, he’s bad, and he’s going to turn my life completely upside down.

I came back to my small town to escape a dangerous past. I was a good girl who made a hell of a mistake. The moment I meet Gar, I know I’m about to make an even bigger one.

Gar says I’m his. As a member of the Hell’s Heathens Motorcycle Club, he’s as bad as they come. I should run from him, but I can’t deny the fire I feel at his touch. Or the safety I feel in his arms.

Besides, a true monster is stalking me from the shadows, and this big, scary, tatted-up biker may be the only who can save me. The problem is, he’s all outlaw, and when I discover just how bad he can be, the monster in him may be more than I can handle.

***Bedlam is the second novel in the Hell’s Heathens MC series. It’s a 43,000 word standalone chalk full of instalove goodness and a dash of kink. Gar is an over the top alpha, a biker who’s one hundred percent outlaw, and who’ll do anything to protect his small town girl. No cheating, no cliffhanger.

It’s not necessary to read the books in this series in order, however, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the events in this novel if you read Trouble first, since some of the characters from book one appear in this one. This book takes place roughly a year after Anne and Vicious’ story began.

Gar and Sandra.........a collision of epic proportion

Bedlam is the second book in the Hell's Heathens MC series. This is the first book I have read by Raven Dark so I was not sure what to expect with the MC romance. The book description looked piqued my interest as I always love a good MC that has some action and a protective Alpha who is hard but also soft.
This story is about Sandra and Gar. Sandra is best friends with Anne and comes to town to be the Maid of Honor at Anne and Vicious' wedding. As she is running late to get to the ceremony she driving fast and just about there when a motorcycle cuts in front of her and they almost crash. This is her first impression of Gar......and it just keeps getting better from there as his big bad protective and possessive Alpha kicks in with Anne. She is young, somewhat naive and sweet. This gets her into some trouble and that means that Gar steps in to ensure she is safe and also his.

This is a fast moving and fun story which is nicely written. It starts with high energy and keeps that going to the end. The conversations between Anne and Gar are witty and fun to read. I liked this book.

I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

After going from a good, Cute, fun, short story in book one... we have this book.

I feel this is not as good as the first one. I felt like the writing took a step back, the characters and the story hindered from only being Sandra's pov.

Yes the first book was insta love but this was on another level it felt like.

I love this MC series. Raven Dark has put ALOT of heat into this quickie. It is a great addition to this series. Hells Heathen men are the epitome of Bad A$$ Bikers who live by there own code whether it be good and definitely very BAD it feels so good! I love these Alpha Men and the way they love their ladies I want one of my own! Sandra and Gar are the reason to LOVE this book! They both have a chemistry that is way more hotter than fire! Even though Sandra just doesn't want to admit it right away! Gar is just the Male to sweep her off her feet and carry her away just like he did after she almost ran him off the road! I love the character building that Raven has done. Not only do you meet the Heathens but you get a glimpse into what and how these Alphas Live and Breathe. Loved this 2nd addition to this series and am hoping for more very soon!

Love the Hell's Heathens MC!

I devoured Anne and Vicious' story in the first book and was delighted to read the 2nd installment. As well done if not better. Gar and Sandra have amazing chemistry and I love his alpha protector dominant personality that combines with sweet, charming, and devotion. Sandra is a good female role, young and naive, but soon learns there's much more to life and family than she's known. The club is dangerous and brutal when they need to be but also willing to go to great lengths to protect the ones they care about.

5 awesome stars!

Excited hot!!!

Sandra is Anne's best friend and she arrives at the Hells Heathens compound to be the maid of honor at the wedding of Anne and Viscious. Anne and Viscious were the main characters in book one of this series called Trouble. This book is better if you read Trouble first to learn characters and more about the club. Sandra almost runs over a member named Gar on her way into the driveway and this sets her relationship with Gar in motion.

Sandra had been dancing at a strip joint to make money for college. A wealthy customer thinks she stole something of his and is threatening her. She steps up to protect her. Sandra and Gar have a fast hot relationship. There is tons of excitement and a hea. Editing was really good unlike book one. Very enjoyable story!!

Better than book one

I was on the fence about reading this one after my feelings about book one, and it's basic plot.

This one has a little more brotherhood interaction and a suspenseful plot that I enjoyed.

There are a few things I wasn't crazy about, but overall it is a good read, like we are told that Gar is the Treasurer of the club, but that doesn't matter in the story. (Then why tell me? 🙄)

This is still an Alpha, insta-love read, which had the pages flipping. Lots of chemistry and steamy scenes between Sandra and Gar!!
🔥🔥🔥😉

This couple's HEA is perfect for them, and look forward to Cal's book next!!

Oh my gosh.

If I ever wanted to yell at somebody it's this chick. Spoilers ahead

The book is going so good until some girl sits in his lap right. Boom he should've pushed her off but no he doesn't and instead the fmc walks in and sees it and she has trauma from a past relationship with cheating so she runs naturally and he runs after her but he doesn't catch her yadada BUT when they meet back up he explains the girl just fell and SHE apologizes and gets in trouble as if she should've stayed and let him explain while a girl sat on his lap. I couldn't even finish the book after that like girl stand up for yourself. Just made me so mad!!

Great book

What happens when a good girl with a bad side meets an alpha male dominate biker, instant sexual attraction and one fantastic romance. This book delivers right from the start, a young feisty woman takes a job as a stripper and it lands her in a mess of trouble with the mafia, but a knight on his sudo charger arrives and saves the day. This book has it all hot alpha bikers, murder, sex, romance, action, and plenty of twists and turns to keep your interest.

A light and fast story for Sandra and Gar

It’s the older man attracted to the younger woman romance. It’s a quick read and light story. Sandra is Anne’s friend and has returned for the wedding. Sandra has secrets and is hiding things from Anne. Gar immediately takes a liking to Sandra. Gar is dominant and alpha- it’s almost suffocating but Sandra is able to accept his ways. Read On!

Gar and Sandra

Book 2 in the series is a good read. It’s entertaining and kept me glued to my iPad’s kindle app. Felt like I was a part of the story. Got a more in-depth feel for the MC as they tackled the problem of the mysterious videos. It’s a short read but the story is well developed. HEA, no cheating, no cliffhanger. I like this author’s writing style. I look forward to book.

Smokin 🔥🔥

Gar is one dominant, possessive, dangerous man. The day of the wedding for a club brother, Gar meets the maid of honor, Sandra. If you could call it that.... Sandra almost hits Gar with her car. Readers get a glimpse of Gars protectiveness instantly when he takes Sandra in his arms. This night defines, and cements the chemistry, and passion of these two.

I recommend this book, the characters, drama, settings, and scenes unfold as Gar and Sandra fight for each other, and face danger that stems from past actions.

She and him meet when he is nearly hit by her driving. They are both there for friends wedding. He acts like he owns her and he doesn't want anything to happen to her. They are a perfect match for each other. Couldn't get enough of them.

Now this story I had fun with but it had an edge to it. I love these totally alpha men in this series!

Gar is awesome! I love the no bones way he gets things done and handles Sandra!

Sandra despite doing what she has to do is still pretty innocent about the world!

Innocents and darkness what a pair!

I enjoyed reading Gar and Sandra's story. It's still an age gap/ MC theme as the first book with a little suspense. Hell's Heathens MC is a great series so far.

Love

Bedlam, is a mild MC book which shows how MC's are family who defend their own!

Gar, is the Treasurer of the Hell's Heathens MC. Gar, is tough, knows what he wants, and is determined to fight and conquer anything standing in his way for the woman he loves.I

Sandra, went to her best friends wedding at Hell's Heathens Clubhouse. Sandra did what she had to do to go to college and doesn't want anyone finding out. Yet, sometimes what we try to hide is made known. No spoilers!

There are some funny scenes in this book, Bedlam, involving Gar and Sandra, I was laughing at 3am and had to get us at 7am. I couldn't find a stopping point.

Raven Dark is one of my favorite authors, you will not be disappointed. Also, so yourself a favor and read Raven Dark's other standalone and series. I have enjoyed many books from this author!

Raven Dark is one of my favorite authors, and I read a lot!

Sandra and Gar story kept me up because there was no way I was going to bed until I read their story.

Sandra has the best of luck with men. She picks real winners. Luckily for her, Gar picked her after an almost accident where Sandra arrives late to her best friends wedding.

Gar is the definition of safety, protection and warmth wrapped up in a man who is big on being in charge in and out of the bedroom.

Sandra finds herself with a secret past which is coming back to claim what was stolen. She has no clue what she holds. But have no fear these men and her ever growing love for Gar is the safety blanket she needs.

Another sexy and incredible book from Raven.

Wow!! Another fantastic addition to the Hell’s Heathen MC series! It is well written with a well developed storyline that grabbed me right at the beginning and had me on the edge of my seat until the end. There is humour, witty banter, brotherhood, and family. The connection between Gar and Sandra kept me reading and wanting to know what came next – so much action, drama and hotness within! The chemistry is instant and hot; the sex scenes are steamy and well written. I definitely recommend this book, and I look forward the next book in the series.

"Bedlam" is the 2nd in the author's new Hell's Heathens MC series, and it's virtually indistinguishable from the 1st, with all the good and bad that entails. The story line is rather wonted--same age difference and level of experience (sexual and otherwise) between the protagonists. Yes, Gar is sexy and dangerous; yes, Sandra is sweet and and in awe of Gar's badass-ery.

The sex, however, is super hot, so there you go.

If you liked the first entry in the Hell's Heathens sequence, you'll likely enjoy "Bedlam", too. It's a decent but predictable read.

Love the brothers of Hell's Heathens. This is the second book in the series and loved them both. Gar is rough and makes no excuses for what he believes and does to keep those he loves safe. When Sandra is threatened, he doesn't hesitate to claim what he sees is his and to protect her no matter the personal cost. This series is filled with over the top alpha bikers, strong women and plenty of action. Highly recommend if you like MC romance.

I have to say that this was such a hot book that I couldn't put it down. I love Sandra and Gar. Can you imagine bringing Gar home to meet your parents. This story has all the bad and good biker action you could ever want. I'm not going to tell you about this book it's something you need to read yourself. Let's just say if your panties don't get wet there is something wrong with you. I'll be watching for more of Raven Dark books.

This is a well written MC romance that draws you in and keeps you engaged to the very last page

When a good girl meets a bad boy biker will they have a future. Vicious is an older biker who doesn't care what anyone thinks about him or his life with a tendency to react first usually aggressively and think later When he meets Anne a quite younger woman who always does the right thing they shouldn't have any common ground. Vicious brings out the wild child in Anna while she tones down his aggressive behaviour bu do they have a future together You will have to read to see

If you're a fan of bad boy MC romance stories that are well written, fast-paced, action-packed and filled with danger, blackmail, suspense, secrets, twists, witty banter, humor, hotter-than-hell chemistry, and steamy scenes that all lead up to a happily ever after, then you definitely need to 1-click Bedlam by Raven Dark.

This is the second book in the Hell's Heathens MC series and although it is a standalone book, you should read the first book, Trouble as some of the characters from that book appear in this book.

Great!

I chose this rating because this was a pretty good book. I really enjoyed all of the characters. This was a book of kindness, finding your self again, being there for one another, and compassion. I really enjoyed this book this book was well-written everything filling to order as he should have. Now I'm waiting in the ready for the third book. Sandra and Garr they made it on the very unusual circumstances she like to ran him over with her car. And the rest was of this story is very intriguing. Great read. I recommend this book to all romance and MC lovers.

I quite enjoyed reading this MC romance & found the plot intriguing with interesting characters.
There is: a young woman (Sandra) with a dangerous past goes to a friend’s wedding (Anne) & comes into contact with a Hell’s Heathens MC rider (Gar) who promptly claims her, some twists, intrigue, action, danger, threats, harassment, blackmail, violence, conflict, attractions, some dominance, spankings, steamy scenes, contentment & a happy ending with a few surprises.

Hells Heathens
Sandra came back to town for her best friends wedding. She’s marrying a member of Hells Heathens motorcycle club and the ceremony is at their clubhouse. Sandra almost runs Gar over on her way in and the chemistry between to two of them is off the charts. He’s a big beautiful monster of a man and just what Sandra needs right now because she has a very dangerous enemy.

Happy sigh.

It has been awhile since I read the first book in the series but it didn't take long to be sucked right back into this world. Love at first sight has never looked so good or been described so sexily. Man, these two have a lot of chemistry. I can't wait for the third book!

Oh dear sweet heaven, ladies be aware of the face that this kind of story can make certain clothing go up in flames! Gar is one kind of alpha man to look for in real life. The intimidating look of a man especially a biker is one of the best kind of alpha romance books out there besides men in uniform.
