Riding Home #2
All Revved Up
Building a life together is a lot more complicated than a road trip.
When Chris, Revv, and Gray bond, they live thousands of miles away from each other.
Revv and Chris live in Rixton where Chris has tenure at a prestigious university and Revv has worked for his family business for over a decade. But Rixton is in Southern California and Gray is half polar bear shifter. The summer heat is completely unbearable for him.
Gray has lived in Anchorage his entire life, and he wants to stay. But that would mean Chris giving up his dream job and Revv leaving his family in a lurch. He can't ask that of his mates.
When Revv finally figures out which of his many lovers got him pregnant, the answer may change everything...
All Revved Up is an MMM romance set in the omegaverse with MPreg and nesting. It’s the sequel to Fairy Daddy, and will not make sense unless you’ve read the first book. It also includes characters from the Alaskan Pebble Gifters series.

Compared to book one I didn’t love this. Haha
I think adding Jack and Jerry to the mix wasn’t the right move… haha idk that’s just my opinion, I feel like that changed the dynamic and Jerry was an afterthought for everyone. Also didn’t love the whole decision Jack and Chris made.. felt like that could have been different since they have had a relationship for over 20 years, they could have talked about this.. Idk didn’t love the Jack and Jerry situation obviously haha
I did love Revvs nesting! So many dicks hahaha 😆
I just wished this lived up to the last book but it was a good addition…

Oh my heart...
The first book in this series was about these three meeting and seeing their very instant connections, plus Jack. This one was about seeing the emotional connection between these three plus Jack.
While I understood that Chris had this overpowering and deep love for Jack, I really wish it could have been all five in a relationship, as it felt like Chris and Jack really did not care if getting together would bother anyone else. They just did it. In a true poly, they should have talked about it first. I honestly did not feel the deep connection Chris had with Revv and Gray like he had with Jack.
But lets be honest, I'm here for the nesting and this one was perfect. Revved had an over the top nesting and it was awesome.
I was disappointed that Gray did not get pregnant and that Jerry had so little time on page. He felt like a non person who apparently likes pain.
I loved the cameos of the ones from the pebble gifting series, I just wish the rabbit and eagle world was attached to this one too.

All Revved Up is a heartfelt and emotional filled follow-up to Fairy Daddy. This tale is all about character development and story progression.
I feel , I got to know and like Gray, Revv and Chris more in this book . And same goes for Jack and Jerry. I guess because this book is more about cementing their relationship and less about their sex lives.
I loved "seeing" these characters arc growth. I especially loved the nesting and the hatching chapters.
All Revved Up plotlines are tight and all make sense within her world building.
As with all her other work , one can count on Ms. Bellows to give us lots humor , steam and treat sensitive topics with care and respect.
I enjoyed this book.

Final part of the series. Made me cry, made me mad, made me laugh. This was a solid 4* book but the last quote in the book just felt so wonderful to me, that tipped the scale.

Yes, yes, yes!
This. This right here makes the unexpected cliffhanger of book one worth it. I’m not going to lie, I was very disgruntled at that cliff. That’s why I waited to read this one, because I didn’t want to be disappointed. There wasn’t a single disappointing thing about this book.
I love everything about the dynamic Chris, Revv and Gray have together. Watching them build this life together was so beautiful. I loved how happy they were for one another collectively and individually. Even when Jack and Jerry are added to the mix, albeit in a different way, the genuine happiness that Revv and Gray have for Chris reuniting with another mate is so, so lovely.
There were just so many good parts: their sexy times were super sexy, Chris’ pebbles, the nesting, the birth, the hatching, CHRIS’ PEBBLES! Ugh. So many. I may be gushing over this book because the last 25% of this book is tear-inducing in the very best way. I’m okay with this. What a perfectly sweet and sexy book. All the stars from me.

I absolutely love these characters and this world so much! The emotions are always so real and make me want to curl up in them. I’m so happy to see how their relationships have continued to develop and grow even deeper. This is seriously needs to be read after the first one since it’s a continuation of the three guy’s story and it’s so worth it! I loved these guys so much. There were some seriously intense moments and some unbelievably sweet ones. I absolutely adore Amy Bellow’s stories and this one doesn’t disappoint in the slightest. Get ready for all the feel with this story as always. I can’t wait for more in this world and hope we get to see more of these amazing characters.

Based on the smut of the first book, I really wasn't expecting to cry.
Happy tears of course because Bellows fills her world and characters with a deep heartfelt joy. The world may be sad at time and all her boys struggle, but this HEA takes the cake.
While the one drawback may be that without the background from Alaskan Pebble Gifters, the intent behind some cultural intricasies may be lost, Bellows leaves no doubt as to what it means to Gray, Chris, Revv and more. This conclusion to the Riding Home duet is simply wonderful. Bellows approaches a poly relationship with so much respect and understanding of potential complications, that the conflicts occur naturally. She doesn't manufacture a dramatic misunderstanding for laughs or a flair of emotion. Everyone involved in the relationship feels, and then they communicate. And that is why I love this book so much.
Revv may be over the top. Chris may be a soft Daddy with wounds he still hides. Grey may still be a wild child with a shield on his heart. But that isnt all they are when they're together. That's why I loved being on this journey with them.
Be warned when you read this book, this triad will likely be permanently burrowed in your heart.

This is the second story in the Riding Home series featuring Daddy Chris, Revv and Gray. Fairy Daddy was a lot of heat and steam, and while there is still a lot of that in this story, it features more on their relationship and character development/dynamic. Chris will do anything to ensure that his guys are happy. Gray is in turmoil, being a polar bear shifter. He cannot handle heat in California but will if it makes Chris and Revv happy. I adored the hatching scene with Revv! I loved the antics of Revv! I loved having a revisit with the guys from the Alaskan Pebble Gifters series and play a bit in the story. The only thing that I didn’t seem to feel a connection for was the story line with Jack and Jerry. Their obviously in a open poly story but we didn’t get enough interactions with them. Overall, it’s a fantastic follow up to Fairy Daddy. It was well written, and the pacing flowed beautifully. Hooked me.

A very cute duet, especially as I already loved the Pebble Gifters series. Though you could probably read these separately I’d recommend reading at least Pebble Gifters books 1-5 first!

Heat Factor: Messy, sweaty, and routinely filthy
Character Chemistry: Heart eyes is pretty much the only goal here
Plot: These societies are stuck with some pretty hurtful cultural norms, and our MCs start to change all that.
Overall: It starts out all, “Awwww” with heart eyes, and then you’re already sucked in and, like, these societies are very oppressive. Good for our MCs for living their best lives anyway.
(just…really poly with a legit polycule)
It features two fairy penguins and a polar bear shifter who meet and end up residing in Anchorage. Book two, All Revved Up focuses more on the family and polycule these guys make based on all their relationships in view of Revv’s pregnancy and Gray’s difficulty living as a polar bear in southern California. I found this duology particularly interesting because it is this super kinky omegaverse fantasy with shifters, but it’s also the most unabashedly well-considered poly romance I’ve read.

Such a good series. Just as good on a reread.
Riding home was my introduction to Amy Bellows, and led me to her Alaskan Pebble Gifters series which I really like too.

Love in its many beautiful forms!
There is SO much to love about All Revved Up. First, I have to address the nesting scene in this one. Every time I read an Amy book I think, THIS is the wildest nesting scene and it can’t be topped. I am always wrong! Of course our sweet and wild Revv has to go and one-up everyone. It also brings some closure to some things that happened in the previous book. Overall, the nesting was beautiful and perfect.
Where the first book was incredibly spicy, this one takes the spicy level down a little and focuses more on the characters and their relationship dynamics. Things have been hot and heavy and moved fast, so it’s time to have the more serious discussions and figure out the logistics of these three being together. Also, this book transitions from a road trip and wild s*x to getting to see the guys in their homes and with their friends and/or family.
We also get to see the polyamory romance in an everyday setting versus the s*xual setting of the first book. There is a lot of communication between Revv, Gray and Chris concerning how their relationship works for each of them as individuals and as a triad. I liked that each guy has different needs and different ways that those needs are met. I also liked that even once they’ve committed to being a triad, they still play with others. And in Chris’ case he has another committed relationship outside of the triad. I’d venture to say that every poly person and romance is different and this book felt genuine in representing that.
We also get more of Jack and Jerry, including a development in their relationship with Chris. It’s a really cool aspect of the story that I’m glad was introduced. And we also get a ton of cameos of guys from other books set in this same world. It was so fun and sweet watching Revv in particular make friends with these characters. Revv’s family is also in part of the book and I liked seeing the relationship dynamics between Revv and his siblings, and how those relationships have been a part of shaping who he is.
Amy always has some really cool details that add a ton to the world building, overall story and it’s characters, and this series has some of the coolest details yet. In particular, I loved how the tradition of gifting pebbles was handled with Chris’ character. It’s perfect for Chris, much like the nesting with Revv is perfect for Revv.
Amy’s writing shines in this one. As with all of Amy’s books, it’s incredibly s*x positive, full of messages around love and acceptance, and includes different voices not often heard in queer romance. The writing is so introspective and thoughtful and inclusive that I feel warm and safe and cozy while reading. This story might be about humans who can shift into animals having adorable animal babies, but it’s also an incredibly beautiful and introspective story about love. This book has me in my feels because I wish that the love and friendship and happiness of this book was our norm.
This book is not a stand-alone and book one must be read first. There was too much to fit into a single book and this is not a complaint! I love that Amy gave this story the space that it needed. I highly, highly recommend the series. It is a really fun journey and has an incredibly satisfying HEA.
On a final note. The best thing that ever happened to this genre is Amy. Thank you for writing love stories that are both serious and lighthearted (well, and so much more). I feel empowered and hopeful reading about all of these men who go against societal norms in pursuit of authenticity, love and happiness. I wish this was how our world was, and I feel safe and seen knowing I’m not alone in that hope.

This book is funny, sweet and just a touch of crazy. Revv is definitely starring in this book.
Going into this book after reading the first in the 'Riding Home' series the characters are already established and it was really wonderful to read how they develope and their relationships evolve.
Gray finally gets his redo on his experience as an active part of a polyamory, Revv and Otis have a bunch of things to work out and never is there a dull moment. This whole story is laced with hilarious moments thanks to Revv's quirky persona.
I love the world that Amy Bellows created and her take on the fantasy omegaverse is really unique.
To depict in such a world complex concepts such as polyamory and the different relationships it envelopes along with the challenges it poses is no small feat and I am in love with the author's way of portraying such things.
Some characters from previous books show up and its exciting to see them and see the community in Anchorage grow and expand.
This book still had heart aching moments and drama such as others in the books of the author but it had a unique lightness and silliness that really helped you through those tear jerking moments.
I cant wait for the next book in this series!!

Now that they’ve bonded, polar bear shifter Gray and fairy penguin shifters Revv and Chris must make some tough decisions. Should they live in Southern California where Gray finds the heat unbearable (LOL) or should Revv and Chris give up their jobs and move to Anchorage for Chris. The decisions become more complex when Revv falls pregnant and they discover who the other father is. Once again, I was completely charmed by Amy Bellows’ imaginative writing and Lance West’s excellent audio narration. Amy effortlessly builds an intriguing and complex world involving multiple animal species intertwining known physical characteristics and habits with fantasy elements and it never feels overwhelming, it just feels right. This sequel isn’t for everyone, there are some very steamy scenes and the three main characters are in an open polyamorous relationship that defies traditional conventions but it works for them. If you can set aside your judgements, you’ll find three great characters, an amazing contemporary fantasy world, and some lovely plot lines. As for me, I’m hoping there will be many more books in this series!

Not stand-alone. Read book one first.
After listening to the Pebble Gifters series, I was hooked and looked out for new books by Amy, and this series is not disappointing. I love the relationships between this throuple, Penguins shifters and Polar Bear shifters. We have everything from Mpreg, nesting and giving birth to an egg. All very believable.
Her world-building ability is very believable, and her characters are fantastic. There are a lot of hot se+ual scenes, especially on stage and in the clubs.
Excellent writing and imagination. Well worth the read.
Good clear narration from Lance West. However, I do speed him up a little, 1.20 on audible.

This book picks up right where Fairy Daddy leaves off and is not a stand alone. I kind of recommend having both books together before you start (if you haven't already) as there's a slight cliffhanger feeling at the end of the first. Luckily we get to understand Revv a lot better in this one. Where the pervious one felt like it focused more on Gray and Chris, we get to see Revv interact with both his parents and sisters. Chris' story of his lost pebbles is also expanded upon and it's a really beautiful way to turn something that has left a sadness into something positive. While there's still quite a bit of spicy times, they feel tempered compared to the first one and I think that shows a shift to the three of the MCs building their family. Priorities shift (at least a tiny bit) and Revv does show a lot of growth in this story. I also really enjoyed Jack and Jerry and how they added to the dynamic. The cameos are awesome and I love Kade and Ansel and I hope we haven't seen then yet of the BBPS. This was a really great follow up to Fairy Daddy and I really enjoyed this story and these characters!

Beautiful follow up to the first book! What an amazing, emotional and complicated journey Revv, Chris, and Gray take over the two books. These three have created a beautiful happy ending for themselves. I loved learning the complexities of the different shifter groups and how they all sacrifice to make their relationships work. I enjoyed how they each have unique connections within the group as this added a lot of depth to their dynamic. I appreciated the detail and time spent on creating such interesting visual pictures - the environments and settings are so creatively brought to life and add so much to the story. You really feel transported to a fascinating place, I loved it. There are also so many wonderful side characters that keep the story engaging and I especially LOVED seeing more from The Alaskan Pebble Grifter’s crew! The writing is so well done all the way around- real emotion, super steamy, and a wonderful plot. Highly recommend this series.❤️

I just want more of them
While the first book was about the journey, both the cross country trip and the journey within the relationship this book is about finding home. While it's clear that Grey belongs with Revv and Chris they live in completely different parts of the country and finding a middle ground is a must as they can't give each other up.
I love how much emotion and feelings this book has and how the relationship between Grey, Revv and Chris and also Jack and Jerry is so beautiful even if they go against the traditional and what lots of people see as the standard. My heart ached for Chris when he told the story about his pebbles and I'm so happy about the ending.
A lovely story about real love, a relationship were they all fits like pieces in a puzzle and a great nesting piece.

What a wild ride!
What could be cuter than a shifter baby? One with blue fairy penguin coloring!!! We get to find out if Revv is going to be a daddy!!!
Amy Bellows does not disappoint! This second installment of The Riding Home series has us back with Revv, Chris and Gray picking up where Fairy Daddy ended.
Be ready for some of the hottest sexy scenes! Oh and a roller coaster of a ride with these unconventional mates! The nesting scene alone is worth reading the entire novel!!! (It’s pee your pants funny!)
As always great characters that you fall in love with and a world you wish you could live in. This isn’t a standalone, so get hooked on the series…you won’t regret it!
If you’re an Alaskan Pebble Gifter fan, many characters make a guest appearance in this one!
You won’t want to put this one down!!!

Really enjoyed the continuation of Fairy Daddy. The first book was good but this was even better. Seeing how the three of them grow as a throuple and individually was really amazing to experience. And getting to see them interact with my favorites from past books was a real treat.
And staying true to all the BBPS relationships was the crazy nesting experience. When I read the last book, whi h I really enjoyed as well, I didn't realize I was missing the nesting scene, until it happened in this portion of their story. It was amazing and so true to the character. Like New Zealand really? It has to be one of my top 2 nesting scenes of the series.
I definitely suggest this book if you've read Fairy Daddy. You'll totally feel complete.

Beautiful, sweet, funny, and the perfect finale
I loved Fairy Daddy and have been anxiously waiting for this book. OMG, this book 100% lived up to every moment of anticipation! Such a perfect continuation of their story, and a couple moments of blissful happiness when I realized what was happening, and how Amy Bellows was tying things together, twining stories and twisting paths in this beautiful pattern that I never saw coming, yet I could not have asked for a more perfect finale to these guys’ story/stories. Seriously! This is a new favorite that will be re-read many, many times (in conjunction with book 1 because you really can’t fully appreciate this story, at all, without being familiar with how their tale began).

May 31, 2022Wonderful conclusion
I fell in love with Chris, Revv and Grey in Fairy Daddy.
I have been desperately waiting for the conclusion to their beautiful story and I was not disappointed.
Life has changed drastically for these three unique men and it was not easy.
They all had overwhelming fears and doubts about themselves and each other.
Ultimately they grew stronger together because of their circumstances and it was absolutely breathtaking to see their relationship grow and become more solidified as they got to know one another better.
Of course the beautiful and intricate shifter customs were wonderful to experience not to mention the found family aspect that I always enjoy from the author.

I always expect Amy Bellows to run out of ways to surprise me with each book, but they always manage it. Every single book is unique, both to each other and others I have read from the same genre.
Revved up follows directly up from Fairy Daddy (and you must have read that first). It also connects to the Pebble Gifting series, so it is fantastic to see familiar faces in there too. You might not need to read that series for it to make sense, but why wouldn’t you want to?!
This book brilliantly adds to the world Amy has created: a world that is magical and wonderful yet also deeply flawed. Not everyone is treated well, yet the characters are doing something about this. It’s emotional, and powerful, but also filled with wonderful moments of humour. I just got completely sucked in, and couldn’t stop reading.
This book is focused around a polyamorous relationship, which is shown to open to changes. If this isn’t your thing then I guess it isn’t a book for you. However, for me the I loved the additional relationships, and even more love.
In summary, you must go and read if you like reading about love (and eggs and nesting!), but only after reading the others first!

This book made my heart swoon
Amy Bellows is the writer that got me reading really different shifter romance so I blame her for how my heart feels right now. Swoon swoon swoon. This book is sad, sweet, happy, magical and swoony definitely swoony. The nesting scene is OMG just the best. I will never look at crafting the same way again and it’s just so on point for the character. This whole series is just tons of fun to read and this two part addition to the series is marvelous.

Not the book I was expecting…
…so much more. In true Amy Bellows fashion there is hot sex, crazy nesting, and so much love. Romantic love, friendship love, family love. This time there’s also a message. It’s not forced on you, it’s just there, and it’s beautiful. It’s acceptance and being seen for who you are. It’s finding who you belong with and where. It’s being your true self with no regrets. Five stars is not enough for how much I love this story. So worth that minor cliffhanger-ish ending to book 1. ;)

I loved these characters in the first book, but this one is even better. Here, we have the same detailed world building and explorations of various customs but most importantly it seems initially our three have impossible choices to make. Do you give up tenure? Do you move to a place where the climate is intolerable? Do you abandon a family business? It seems there is no way to resolve these issues, but Amy Bellows certainly can. Do not miss these two books!
