Tyler, Tyler, Tyler you B.A.D bad boy. Why am I so addicted to this series! I thought Tyler was going to be a tame version of Deacon but I was so wrong. He’s just as badass and I completely love his character.
Anna is trying to hide and still do the things she loves. When she becomes Tyler’s assistant she knows she’s taking a risk. He’s sexy, flirty and ambitious. If he finds out who she is she knows there will be trouble. She tries to resist him but he could be the only one who can safe her.
Tyler is obsessed with his new assistant. He thinks it’s because she’s playing hard to get but when he gets a taste of her he realises she’s so much more.
I received an ARC of Ride. My review is honest and my own. This is a complete story but the set-up for book three has me screaming for more.

Ride was the most exquisite kind of agony!
This book is Tyler and Anna's story. I have not read Torment, which is the first book in the series, but I didn't feel like I was missing anything because of that.
Ride started out with a slow pace, it allowed me to get to know the characters, and then it tore me apart in the most beautiful kind of way!
I loved Anna, she was strong-minded and determined. Tyler was being a jerk sometimes, but he has also proven himself as a protector and a man of his words.
There were a lot of twist and turns, but it was the suspence that kept me on the edge of the seat.

The title of this book couldn‘t be more fitting because this book is a rollercoaster RIDE I didn‘t expect.
After reading Torment I thought Ride would be a tamer version of Deacon abd Mia‘s story, but boy was I wrong! Tyler takes the crown for B.A.D.dest boy in this series. He‘s like an onion. He has so many different layers and you can‘t wait to see whats behind the layer‘s even if it‘s pretty cruel.
Anna starts off as his personal assistant, but from day obe she catches Tyler‘s eye. She‘s not easy to fool and doesn‘t fall for his charm and reputation. But she‘s hiding something big and that‘s what sets this story in motion.
Tyler and Anna‘s story is heartbreaking. Both of them have so much terrible stuff in their past it‘s no wonder that their world explodes and they have to pick up the pieces.
It‘s a standalone book but the set up for book 3 has already been placed and I can‘t wait to dive into that one!

This book is the second in this series BAD. INC #2 and is absolutely captivating. I couldn't wait to read this book especially after reading the first book.
Once you pick up this book you will not be able to put it down. From beginning to end I was hooked and I couldn't put it down even for a minute and neither will you. Must Read.
This book is Tyler and Anna's story and it is one hell of a RIDE!!
Tyler is a horrible person a real vile human being and he always gets what he wants. He is very arrogant and cocky and there is one thing that he cant get out of his head and that is Anna. The question is will he still feel the same when he finds out her secrets?
Anna is a strong woman and she has been through a very lot. She is running from her past, her father her old life everything. When she starts her job as Tyler's new assistant she is playing with fire. Anna knows how to deal with Tyler at times and doesn't take his crap which loved and she goes through a lot and is as brave as ever in my eyes.
Tyler is a horrible person especially when he thinks he has been double crossed and the way that he treats Anna is terrible. She knew she was taking a chance and now Tyler and all the B.A.D team are baying for blood.
This book really did have my emotions all over he place and parts of this book really broke my heart. When these authors write together it is totally explosively fantastic and I thought the way that this book was written was brilliantly. I really connected to Anna and really felt for what she was going through. The characters were written very deep and very brilliant and this book is absolutely gripping, you will hate them, love them and then you will be really rooting for them inside your heart and you cant help but feel every single thing that this book has inside. Thank you to the author and the publishers for allowing me to read and early copy of this book. ARC provided in exchange for a complimentary honest voluntary review. Everyone needs to read this book when it gets released and I highly recommend reading the other books by these author in this series. This is a dark romance book that will grip your heart and take you for a ride. I cant wait to read book #3 in this series Bait and after the way that this book ended I need this one NNOOWWW PLEASE! LOL!
This book is expected to be released on 11th June 2020.

A definite Ride you don't want to get off!!
Meet Tyler Ward a cocky assured male who gets what he wants no matter when he wants it and enjoys the challenge to get just that until Anna shows up, when the stakes rise.
Anna though isnt who she really seems, can she be accepted, by all at B.A.D especially Tyler?
An emotional fiery ride of an rollercoaster journey with a intertwining link of secrets to unravel a serious Ride needed to take. Enjoy the ride while you can.

Tyler Ward will take you through a "Ride" you pleasure in more ways than one!!
Angel Devlin and Tracy Lorraine have done it once again! The journey through the B.A.D. Inc world is once again delivered phenomenally. This story is a ride of epic proportions. There is not a minute where you aren't asking whats next. There is strong emotions throughout the entire book. How the entire thing plays out is not what I expected from when we got the little look in Book 1. This however, was so much more in all the best ways.
Tyler Ward is so cutthroat. He goes after what he wants and gets it. No matter how he plays the situation or who all is involved, he succeeds. Ride finally gives us what we want by seeing more into who Tyler is. You finally are able to see what all he is hiding underneath the hard shell exterior.
Anna is spunky and fierce. She has come to prove she is not what everyone thinks she is. She protects those who she loves the most. While facing the hardships of her life, she continues to be strong and overcome all of her struggles. Together they are the perfect pieces to a game board.
I absolutely LOVE the B.A.D. Inc world!! These two authors together are a work of magic. There isn't a second where I wish to leave. I'm so excited for more of this world in the upcoming books! I can't wait to read about the rest of the team. Thank you to both authors for creating such a fantastic story.

Tyler is a man that doesn't let anyone get too close. He is the person people come to when they need problems solved and things kept quiet. Anna is his intern that he is obsessed with getting in bed. Anna has a difficult past that she has tried to leave behind. She also doesn't fawn over Tyler like the other employees he's had over the years. Will Tyler make Anna pay when he finds out her secrets? Can the couple overcome their pasts?
June 5, 2020
Oh I had been dying to get inside Tyler's brain and I can say it's a bit f*cked up BUT from the first book, we all knew that this group of charcaters were all a bit that way. I took to Anna immediately, even knowing that she was hiding something that might have been dangerous for the BAD team. I just knew that whatever it was wouldn't be what it would seem. She always seemed genuine from the get-go. But in no way did I ever expect it to be what it was. It broke my heart. This girl had been through such horrific things and was just trying to move on with her life and still have a freaking career in the field she loved.
**Minor spoilers ahead that might give some things away! Read at your own risk.**
Things were insane when Tyler and the BAD team found out who she was. And they were right to be angry and suspicious. But what Tyler did was insane and disgusting. I know at that point he didn't know her past and he was really angry because he already had feelings for her but still that is no fucking excuse. He was disgusting and that whole scene + plus another one not long after is the reason why I don't rate this more than 4 stars. I'm quite frankly getting tired of these kinds of things happening in books and heroines just be okay with it. I know she was willing to do anything to make them believe her (that she was innocent) and so that she and her family would be safe. Even still it doesn't make it ok. Anna did end up showing her outrage later on and was hesitant to move forward with Tyler but it still in some way felt wrong. He apologised, he felt insanely guilty and he grovelled. In the end it was thanks to him that all of Anna's fears and problems disappeared, he made up for what he did but it still wasn't right and sh*t like this in books is starting to bother more and more. I know this is fiction and all but I would never be okay with this in real life. Like boy bye, you dead to me.
Despite that mess of a scene, this book was a good read. I loved seeing Declan so much and seeing him so crazy over Mia still. He was so done for her but still was himself with all the shenanigans and it was so fun to see them. And all the bits and pieces we got of the other characters have me itching for their own books!
I did not expect Ride to be as emotional as it was but both Anna's story and Tyler's past and relationships with his family were so emotional at times. It really made me feel a lot for both characters and root for them to work through their problems, first individually and then together. That was really important witht these two. I'm happy with how things ended, and how they managed to work out even with all the mess surrounding the way they came together.

The B.A.D. Inc. series continues to be compulsive reading. I absolutely loved this gripping story.
Tyler is ruthless, there is no doubt about that. He has intrigued me like no other to be honest. My feelings towards him constantly changed throughout the story - One minute my heart ached for him, the next I loathed him and then I couldn't help but love him. If you’ve already met Ty in Torment you will be aware of his capabilities. Ride reveals more about the man under the expensive suits and I got a shock at times at just how ruthless and cold he can be. However, what I learned about Tyler’s existence out of the B.A.D Inc. offices melted my heart at times, and I couldn’t help but wish for Anna to work her way into Ty’s heart too.
Anna is an incredible person. I admire her bravery and determination immensely. She’s feisty and I absolutely loved seeing this side of her particularly when dealing with Tyler. She is exactly what Ty needs but never thought he could have and there were times when she needed him just as much. I felt that their interactions were amazing, although a little tough to witness at times. They are certainly well suited for each other both in and out of the bedroom.
The synopsis states ‘It's going to be a wild RIDE!’ and OMG this story certainly is! I sat on the edge of my seat throughout much of the book. If you love a story that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster journey then this one is perfect for you. I was hooked from the very beginning and didn’t want this story to end. I’m just pleased we get more of the B.A.D. Inc. boys when Ant’s story releases later this year.
Ride receives a 4.5 star rating for me. Why the loss of 0.5 of a star if I loved it so much? Well, there were a couple of scenes that are repeated showing a different character’s POV and whilst I appreciate it is good to gain as much understanding as possible of a scenario, my reading preference is for a story to always progress. However, this is my only little niggle and I’m certain the majority of readers will enjoy everything that the authors have given us. Tyler and Anna’s story is incredible - one that should definitely not be missed!

Ride is an apt name for this book because this story was WILD! We get a diverse mix of tropes and genres here with Tyler and Anna's story. Ride is, in no particular order, a bully romance, revenge story, romantic suspense, and corporate espionage thriller. I'm quickly falling in love with this series. I can't decide which portions of the story take precedent because we get a beautiful mix of suspense and romance when Devlin and Lorraine pair up.
Tyler and Anna both have the personality traits to sacrifice themselves for those that they love. They have both been broken, molded, reformed and shaped by actions of their family members. At times I found their story difficult to read because Tyler can be brutal in his treatment of Anna. I think the saving grace for me in terms of Tyler was Anna. She is a great character who isn't easily swayed by his charms and Tyler had to work for his redemption. There is nothing I hate more in a bully romance than the FMC swooning over the guy immediately once his bullying turns to true affection. *gag me*
This book is told in multiple POV, mostly those of Anna and Tyler. We get a couple small glimpes of POVs from a few other characters at BAD Inc, but I won't tell you who for fear of spoilers. BAIT, Book 3 in the BAD Inc Series, releases in September 2020. I'm definitely going to be reading that!

I really ummed and ahhed before requesting this on Booksprout. I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to read about another dominating bad boy. However, I remembered how ‘Torment’ ended with Anna being heard on the phone, and my curiosity got the better of me.
I’m so glad it did as Tyler was a bit of a softie compared to some of the characters Tracy Lorraine has been writing lately. He seemed caring and genuinely appeared to like Anna. Yes, he has a bit of an attitude and a messed up past that affects his moods, but he was, to begin with, a lot more thoughtful. That is until he is crossed and then the badass came out to play. He has some dirty tricks up his sleeve but what set him apart from a lot of bad boys was that he lamented a lot of his actions after the event. He knew sometimes he’d gone too far and was remorseful.
This book certainly had a much darker feel to it; I really felt like I was reading one of my Psych Thrillers. I was afraid for Anna’s life, and the scene in the warehouse was just shocking and unexpected. It was really gritty, and I loved it.
This was brilliantly written and was elevated from just a steamy novel. Yes, there was lots of sex and domination scenes, but they weren’t the focus. The characters were really likeable and relatable. It was great to get cameos from Deacon and Mia, and even though they were all lovey-dovey, they still held onto what made them great characters. The attitude was still there, which is often lost once characters become loved up.
This was a great addition to the series, and I won’t be hesitating when the next one is available to request. I’m intrigued to see who we will get to follow next as there are so many potential characters.

The second book in the B.A.D. Inc series follows Tyler and Anna.
Tyler Ward, part owner of B.A.D. Inc, is the glue that holds his entire dysfunctional family together, never having a moment to breathe. With two brothers who can't keep it together, an alcoholic father, and a mother who cares more about jumping between his father's and his uncle's bed to worry about how to parent her brood, he is constantly having to clean up the mess. But, at least he has a competent new assistant to help him at work.
Anna Hawley has a secret. A secret that cannot get out or her life will be in danger. She left a terrible life at her father's magazine in the US to come to the UK and work for his enemies. If Tyler finds out who she is, though, she will have a lot more to worry about than her father finding her.
What I loved about this book, aside from the unavoidable romance between Tyler and Anna, is that secrets are revealed early on in the story. It isn't used as a plot point at the end to create friction. The friction is there from the start and we spend the entirely of the book watching to see if they can put out the fire. It was wonderful!
It was great to see Deacon again. His attitude and all around a**hole-ness made me very happy. Tyler wasn't my favorite alpha male. I had an issue with his take first, ask questions later outlook on sex. It made me a little uncomfortable, but since Deacon was the same way in Torment, I was able to look past it (since this is fiction). Anna was pretty badass and I enjoyed the way she took care of her own family.

What a ride this book took me on a journey!! This was one hell of a rollercoaster that had so many twists it left my heart pumping madly!!
I’ve never read a character where I’ve hated and loved one person such much that I truthfully had withdrawals but Tyler has my emotions going from hate to love form one chapter to the next. He was such a cruel asshole one minute but then he was a sensitive loveable man. He was definitely a complex character!
While Tyler was the storm In the story, Anna certainly had a few dark clouds to her character. Running from the abuse she has experienced from a loved one has left her guarded and scared to trust the ones closest to her. While she is protecting herself you certainly doesn’t contain her sassy side and she makes Tyler work for her, especially when everything goes to hell!!
Together the characters complimented each other beautifully and they story isn’t full of roses but it was a love story of redemption and forgiveness.
I can’t wait for the next instalment in this series, Bait! If it’s anything like Ride, we will be in for one hell of a journey.

This shit is absolute TRASH.
I literally couldn’t stomach the amount of bullshit that happened in this book. I’m not even halfway done and I’m already utterly disgusted at what’s happened.
First of all, FUCK YOU TYLER YOU PIECE OF SHIT. YOU CAN CHOKE ON A BAG OF DICKS.
Anna is a fucking doormat. Literally a fucking doormat who’s a glutton for punishment. I get it, she’s afraid of her dad. But bitch, there are other means to escape him. Like oh i don’t know, live in a different fucking country that’s not the same as where you were born???? Literally this bitch just drink dumb dumb juice. Not only does she get constantly humiliated, ripped off her pride, gets defiled, sexually assaulted, and fucking manipulated to. I’m just so done with this bitch being a fucking doormat. I couldn’t stand it.
As for the idiot of the hour. AGAIN, TYLER YOU’RE A PIECE OF SHIT.

Tyler doesn’t allow many people close and those he does he cares deeply about but those who cross him are about to feel his wrath. He is the one that everyone comes to when they have problems that need to solved but his new assistant Anna is a puzzle he hasn’t been able to decipher yet.
Anna is trying to leave her past and everyone in it out of her present however that is easier said than done. She has experience with men like Tyler so he doesn’t intimidate her but she may think otherwise one he finds out about the secrets she holds.
This story takes you on a wild adventure filled with emotion, heat and twists.

Absolutely loved this series..I devoured it in a week.
I loved all the characters - the way they would do anything for each other, how they've all suffered in some way in their past but fight through their history to successfully make their way in their business. I love the style of the story telling and the serious amount of heat in all of them.
I haven't written separate reviews as i was so eager to get onto the next in the series that they are all one story to me now.

Loved Anna and Tyler's crazy wild ride to their happy ending. These two have huge crazy things that they have to work through to be together and it was so good reading about all the crazy drama in their lives. Love the BAD series of books so much. These bad boys and the girls that win their hearts make such great stories.

I honestly kept going between 3.5 stars and 4.5 stars on this book so I settled at 4 stars. Once again, it was VERY hard for me to get past the first 40-50% of this book. I did NOT like how dickish Tyler was and Anna felt like a doormat. Considering I dig bully/dark romance, I'm not exactly sure why these books rub me the wrong way.
Regardless, I pushed through and I ended up loving this story. Tyler was a rock for his family but a lonely, stressed man in private. Anna had endured years of abuse from her "father," and when the truth came out, no one believed her until the twists started happening.
I'm SO damn glad she didn't just forgive and forget. That is one reason why these stories get rated higher, because no matter how naive or weak the FMC seem throughout the first half of the book, they always stand tall when shit hits the fan. The supporting characters are amazing, the world building is flawless, and the steam level is 🔥🔥. (I died laughing at the Full Monty part.)
Overall, this series has some almost nonredeemable pricks as MMC and the FMC are pushovers...but that's just a very vivid veil placed over their true selves. While I don't necessarily like the beginnings of these books, the endings are both sweet and satisfying and leave a perfect cliffhanger for the next book/couple.

So after reading book 1 and my hatred for Deacon still fresh, I was hesitate to read more from this series. Tyler is different from him though.. He's not a complete asshole. I mean he has issues(mostly due to his screwed family) and takes it out on the job. When Anna comes into the picture, things get interesting.. There's obviously a connection but Anna has to be careful as does Tyler. I mean, Tyler has his career to worry about. Anna is running from her past and trying to stay under the radar. Working for B.A.D has been a life changing for her, she's learning a lot. Things change after she sees Tyler in a different way.. Tyler is, I don't want to say sadistic but it's pretty close to how he treats Anna. He humiliates her just to make himself feel better. This was after he found out who Anna really was. I wasn't crazy about him during this time but she was able to prove her loyalty to the company and to him. Anna's dad isn't a nice guy, I mean he had his daughter do some nasty things , I mean horrible things that you shouldn't have your daughter do but he was doing it for a reason. It was deceitful and gross. I hate that man so freaking much and God only knows what he did to the other daughter. I don't even want to think about it. Anyway, this book is action packed and a complete thrill ride!! I do love the females in these books are strong and not afraid to stand down when it comes to obsessive possessive men! They give it right back and let them know where they stand!

Dammmm! Now that was one hell of a Ride! Tyler Ward did not disappoint... Talk about intense. Those alpha bad boy vibes were pulsing out of the pages and slamming straight to all the good spots! And Anna, well she isn't no wilting flower, that woman has some serious brass balls. Not to mention some Iron Clad will that not many can honestly say that have when faced with Tyler's vindictive mind games.
Tyler is one of those characters that throughout the entire book your feelings constantly fluctuates, I mean the title of this book is definitely apt. I needed a little nap after I'd finished, plus some painkillers for the book hangover I was experiencing... Yeah it's that good!
Anna, oh my lovely Anna... do you ever just want to climb into a book and a give a girl a hug! She's strong and fierce, but even the strongest of people need someone to hug! I love her character, it was a perfect match for Tyler. Even though I wanted to beat on him a few times for my girl Anna!
This was the second book in the series and I'm even more in love with these men! I need to know more. I'm not ready to leave B.A.D Inc yet!!!! I would strongly recommend reading Torment which is book one to get the most out of the series but its not necessary. Now go! Get your read on!

Fantastic story.
Wow! I was so looking forward to reading this second book in this series & I was not disappointed again not wanting to put it down. Anna & Tyler's story took you on a roller coaster of emotions Anna was trying to make a fresh start after escaping her horrendous past at the hands of her father but her past came back threatening her future. Tyler had a rough childhood but held back his emotions & took the roll as parent looking after his brothers but when it seemed like a flicker of light was coming into his life but then it was turned upside down & he resorted to his dark side & Anna was on the other end of that. Anna was sassy & took no messing from Tyler which saw you smiling & the banter between Declan & Tyler had you laughing but there was a hell of a lot of drama, hurt & tears involving both family's before we got any happily ever after that didn't seem was going to happen. I loved this book & it's amazing characters & can't wait for the next one already.

Ride will take you on such an epic journey...
Ooooh I do believe that Ty and Anna have over taken Deacon and Mia! (From Torment, Book 1) .....
Tyler is the Fixer of the group and not just among the B.A.D. posse, but also his family and I have to say, I really wanted to take him away and give him a break! Let him look after himself for a change!! No matter who needs what or what needs who, they all turn to Tyler - and believe me, that gets exhausting sometimes!!
Then we have Anna, who was treated like complete and utter garbage by someone who should've cared for her! So much so, that she ran! However - that is all I'm saying on the matter because there are so many twists and turns, with drama and heartache galore, that to say any more would spoil it!
Thoroughly enjoyed this, more so than Book 1 and I'm excited to read book 3!!
I also liked that once again, it's not the norm - some roles were kinda reversed, nothing truly major - but the H put his feelings out there first, just things like that and it was a refreshing change!
Top read.

As much as this is Anna and Tyler story, it's more about the evolution of a man who is as cocky, complex, rough, gentle, dedicated, determined and is fierce with those he cares about and that man is Tyler.
He is so hard to love but you can't help how hard you are going to love him.
RIDE is the perfect title for this story. Imagine a long drive where you meet these incredible characters that have secrets that intertwine them, you stop to take in the scenery and can't believe the shocks and surprises you witness, the road is long with twists and turns to avoid the obstacles that seem to be in the road and in the driver and passenger seats are two characters that have demons and pasts who as the story progresses you see that the stubbornness they carry is the perfect balance to help the other find the inner peace that only real love can bring from such darkness to light.

This book does, indeed, take you for a ride, a dark and sometimes filthy ride! Tyler is a bad boy, but protector at the same time. In his own way, he's a people pleaser, but has a habit of taking his pleasure too often. Anna is his new assistant and the first one who never reacted to his flirting, as has no other woman...ever! She has a secret, however, and if it should come to light, her world would be ripped apart. Tyler and anna together are hard to take and he is hard to like. By stepping over the line just once, he became a totally unsympathetic character to me. Anna, for her part, had her worst fear come true and Tyler didn't handle it well at all. It was only through the seemingly honest self-understanding, that he gained by the end, that he redeemed himself to me. This is a very good book whose characters are complex and believable. The plot holds its pace well from the beginning to the very end. Good work!

Ride picks up right after Torment (B.A.D. Inc #1) left off. Tyler and his assistant have been dancing around the mutual attraction they have for each other. When Anna’s past comes to light, everything implodes.
Anna is very likeable. As we learn more about her, we see how fierce, hardworking and determined she is.
Tyler has a reputation he likes to uphold, so he hides his vulnerabilities away, even from his friends. He’s the backbone and protector of his family and his friends, and really feels pressured to be everything to everyone.
Ty and Anna have that chemistry that’s so fun to read. A very steamy thriller vibe to this book, and when it goes dark it is pretty dark. Heed the trigger warnings and enjoy the ride.

This is another interesting story in this new series by Tracy Lorraine and Angel Devlin. I enjoyed the interactions between Ty and Anna.
Anna has a secret and hopes that her employer never finds out. She has done everything she can to keep who she is and who her father is. When her boss, Ty figures it out, he is not understanding. They are looking for a mole at B.A.D. and believe that she is it. She is willing to do anything to keep her father from finding out where she is. Ty wants to believe her but he hasn't had a lot of luck with women telling the truth. When she needs his help, will he be there for her?

This book starts right where Torment leaves off so you should really read that book before reading this one. Anna is working as a personal assistant to Tyler Ward one of the founders of B.A.D., Inc. Tyler is obsessed with Anna and she his under his skin and he wants nothing more than to get her in his bed. But Anna doesn’t fall for his bad boy charm. Anna is there to prove herself and what will happen when Tyler discovers who Anna's father is? This book had me hooked from the very beginning and the twist and turns keep you guessing as to what is going to happen next. This was a great addition to the series and I can't wait for the third book in this series to come out.

Perfect Title
Anna and Tyler's story has the perfect title, Ride! This story will take you from the US to the UK, but the twist and turns in between will have you on the edge of the seat!
Two broken persons who will do their all to make sure those close to them are always better. Tyler showed his mean/horrible side quite a bit to Anna. Anna justifies things done to her by Tyler with her past. Her father was very mean.
Can these two move beyond all the hurt and drama, to recognize the chemistry they have together? Will they be able to have a serious relationship? Ride may have some triggers for some but it is a good read!
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Action-packed, Page-turner, Tear-jerker, Tragic, Twisted, Unpredictable

Strap in and hold on for this wild, wild RIDE
RIDE is the second book in the B.A.D. Inc series and picks up where the first book, Torment, ends. It is best if you have read Torment first to understand the continuing story and the characters. Ride is about Anna De Loughrey and Tyler Ward and the story definitely makes you hold on tightly and take the ride that the authors want to take you on. This is a romance but there is also mystery, suspense, intrigue, betrayal, family, corporate espionage, bullying and a lot more. The authors have once again woven a strong story-line with wonderful characters who have depth and intense histories, with a lot of emotion into a book that pulls you in immediately and keeps you there the whole time.
