As the only daughter of the Knights MC President, Grace Jackson was raised in the life. Her pop would keep her in a protective bubble if he had his way, and her job is less than a dream, but she loves her life and the small town of Hawthorne where she was raised.

The moment Ruston King, president of the Royal Bloods, sets eyes on Grace, he’s determined to make the club princess his queen. But first, he’ll need to convince her that he’s worth giving up everything for.

When danger strikes, Ruston will need to prove he can protect more than just her heart.

This is the story of Ruston and Grace, the fifth installment in the Ride Series Second Generation.

Very insta.
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
Small other woman drama, she's interested he isn't.
Small other man drama, man who won't take no for an answer.
Introduction to characters for a new series.
Dual POV.
Epilogue, multiple POV to round off the series.

After reading the first generation and then the second generation I am going to miss this series so much.

Grace’s story has been teased in the last book, so I was super excited for this. I loved Ruston and Grace’s story. Ruston was hooked on Grace from the minute he set eyes on her and did everything in his power to be with her, you could feel the tension between them. It was an insta-love. Grace was the one who needed to figure
out what was best for her, but in her heart she new what she wanted. It was a heartwarming story with a bit of spice. There wasn’t any over the top drama but a little suspense that made it gripping and it was totally what you would expect in a MC story. I really enjoy the story and I am sad this is the end of the Ride Series but I have enjoyed every book!

I liked the continuation/end of this series. A little unwanted ow drama that the H settled. Just when I thought the H was going to head towards the jerky side of being alpha he settled down. I liked the h called him out on his bossiness when she felt it was necessary. I liked the ending but wanted to see more!!! Lots of setup for a new series and can't wait.

Grace Jackson grew up as the princess of the Knights MC, with her father Cole being the president. When Ruston King, the president of the Royal Bloods MC comes into town to help the Knights with a problem, he has his eyes set on Grace. After a mission gone wrong, Ruston finds himself in the hospital and Grace never leaves his side. Ruston and Grace had great chemistry and they grew close in a short amount of time. But when it was time to go back to home, Ruston asked Grace to come with him. I did like the Royal Bloods MC, the men were all very interesting and I can't wait to read their stories. Grace fit in with the Bloods like she was always there and everyone loved her. Of course there was some trouble that the Bloods were dealing with. Ruston really loved Grace and he did everything in his power to protect her and show her that she belonged by his side. Grace and Ruston were pretty good together, he showed her around town, made sure she was safe at home and that she felt like home in Bishop. I really enjoyed this book, I liked Ruston and how protective he was of Grace, his men respected him as president and they would do anything for one another. I liked the members of the Bloods and they really have me intrigued. Grace grew up in the life so she knew how things worked and took to being queen of Bloods pretty fast. I enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read what comes next with the Bloods.

I have this split personality thing going on as I'm always waiting impatiently for books in a series, but then I get upset when I read them too fast especially if they're the last book like Grace is. It tends to make for quite a bit of frustration on my part LOL! Grace is the last book in this series that I seriously love, and it's a great way to end the series despite the fact that I don't want to say goodbye. Grace is a MC princess as the daughter of the very protective President of the Knights MC, and while she does want to be more free, she had no plans to leave her family. Ruston is the President of the Royal Bloods MC, and he comes face to face with her when the two clubs unite against a common enemy. These two had an instant connection, and while Ruston knew he would do anything to make her his, she took a bit more time despite the insta attraction. Of course there's danger so the twists are coming in hot while these two sort things out. To see how it all pans out, well, you'll have to hit those one click buttons as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I know true Megan O’Brien fans hate waiting so long between books BUT this story is a true testimony as to why our patience gets paid back.

To say I adore this book is being generous. These characters are well loved and will be missed. I know we will see them pop up in the spin off series but it just won’t be the same.

Grace is a MC “princess”. She is to be protected at all times regardless if there is a true threat. If you asked the men of the MC any man that has the guts to pursue one of their treasured princesses is a threat. These men love their daughters, nieces, etc. When Ruston hits the compound it’s a lost cause though. Grace and Ruston are soulmates and there will be no keeping them apart.

Obviously there can’t be a HEA immediately so some drama and threats of death to our beloved group always appear. This keeps us on our toes and you won’t be able to put this book down.

This book is a bittersweet goodbye but also an excited hello to new characters. Fans of The Ride series will love this book!

Fans of Megan O'Brien have been eagerly awaiting Grace's book ever since the Ride Series, 2nd generation books began. And I can definitely say that she was worth the wait. Grace, the 5th book in the 2nd generation series, brings to an end books about the Knights MC and that is very bittersweet. I am not ready to say goodbye to this family. But what's great about this book is that it crosses over to a new MC family, that of Ruston King's. We are left with the enticing promise of more books to come, in a new town - so I think I can be satisfied with that. But it is definitely hard to say goodbye.

In Grace, we pick up where we left off in the last book, where Grace and Ruston meet in that swoonworthy let-me-buy-a-cup-of-Ruston way. It's basically love at first sight for both characters, even though Grace doesn't really understand it. And when Ruston is injured and ends up in the hospital, it is Grace who spends her nights in a chair by his bed, even though he is a relative stranger. This does not go unnoticed by Ruston, or his family. Grace has basically signed her fate - she is Ruston's. Now he just has to convince her to give up everything she knows and start over in a new town, with him.

Seeing Grace find love was so great. There was never a more deserving character. And Ruston is perfect for her and loves her just the way she is. Not once does he complain about her being a tiny bit high maintenance (only in the requiring a huge closet kind of way). Grace also comes into her own. She is meant to be a queen, not merely an MC princess. While I was sad not to see more of past couples from the series, I really thought this book was a great way to transition to the new series and the new group of people we are sure to fall in love with. I loved Grace's book and I love this entire series and I know I will love what is coming next from Ms. O'Brien. I can't wait - it is sure to be a wild ride.

I received a free copy of this book from Give Me Books PR and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Oh no man, Im going to miss this series so much…
This was an ista-love romance. So if that’s not your thing then be warned…

Grace is a mc princess especially as her father is the president. So when her dad’s MC and another MC decide to get together to take out a rival enemy, she meets Ruston King and Immediately is head over heels. But how will this work as he doesn’t live close and he is the prez of another club. And she knows what it means to be the president of an MC. So she needs to decide if this is what she wants or not.

I loved their story. Ruston was hooked on Grace from the minute he set eyes on her and did everything in his power to be with her. Grace was the one who needed to figure out what was best for her. I loved that there wasn’t any over the top drama. Loved the suspense though and totally what you would expect in a MC story. Just sad this is the end of the Ride Series. I have loved this series from the beginning. From Cole all the way to the next generation and now the end… I look forward to reading about the new mc and their stories 😊

So sad this series is finally coming to an end! After reading the first generation’s series, and now getting to continue that book world with the second generation, I was so sad that it was coming to an end, but Megan set this book up so well for her next series that by the end of the book I was so excited for what is to come with this new MC! As a MC princess, Grace knows the MC world very well, which is why it was shocking to her when she met Ruston and can’t help her instant feelings towards him. The minute he meets Grace, Ruston knows he is ruined and has to have her, no matter what. After some necessary drama for the book and some misunderstandings between the couple, we see them navigate not only being a couple but also see Grace in a different MC environment and in a different role within the MC. I loved this book and felt it was the perfect ending to this book world, but also gave us the best opening to the new series by giving us insight and introducing us to the characters of the new MC that already now have me hooked!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Grace is the fifth book in the ‘’ride second generation’’ series.
This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. Grace is the first book of Megan O’Brien’s that I have read. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Grace is an MC princess. When she meets the president of another MC, sparks fly. Ruston wants Grace as soon as he sees her. Will a relationship work between the pair?
The chemistry between Grace and Ruston is clear to see and I loved them together. I thought they were perfect for one another. I liked that they clicked from the moment they met.
I liked the ending and the storyline for this book!
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I also cannot wait to read the other books already released from this series.

This is the fifth book in this second generation series. I haven’t read any of the original series or the books in the second generation series and wasn’t lost at all. I do want to read all the others books now though. Grace is a MC princess. She is happy with her life then she meets Ruston. He is the Prez of another MC. As soon as their eyes met, they both know the other is meant to be theirs. Ruston wants Grace to come back with him right away. Grace isn’t so sure. She has never lived anywhere else. She is nervous about leaving her family. Ruston knows that things take time. Plus, there are things going on back at his club that he needs to take care of. He needs to make sure its safe for Grace. Club life is never completely safe but he can do everything in his power to make sure Grace will be safe. I truly loved this book. Grace and Ruston have an instalove relationship. That isn’t to say there aren’t any hiccups or bumps in the road. Grace is prepared for club life because of how she grew up. I love the MC genre. All these men are willing to lay down their lives so fast for those they consider family. Great job Morgan. I look forward to reading more books by Morgan in the future.

This is the fifth and final story in this amazing series and is Ruston and Grace’s journey. Grace is the only daughter of the over-protective president of the Knight MC, and Ruston is the president of the Royal Bloods MC, and from the moment he sets eyes on Grace, he wants her, but he just needs to convince her of that fact. When danger strikes Ruston will do whatever he must to protect Grace and keep her safe from harm. There is an instant connection between these two with undeniable chemistry, and they complement each other perfectly. This is a bittersweet story as the end of a fantastic series. This is a well written flawless story, which has danger, suspense, twists, intrigue, drama, challenges, violence, action, and love, which all leads to a riveting and addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Ruston King & Grace

Insta-love is not always a great start to a book or a romance. This time it was the best. She's the daughter of the very protective President of the MC, he's the President of an allied club--also very protective. A setup for some sparks between not only the couple but the men as well. The clubs are joining forces against an enemy of both clubs.

She's grown up in her dad's club. Never thought about leaving the men and women who are friends and family. Is there a man who could make her even consider it?

This one is hot enough to burn the town down. The characters are friends to series fans and new friends to those reading this for the first time. Steam, danger, friendships, enemies, an amazing read from start to finish.

I can’t believe it’s the last book

Excuse me while I go cry. I can not believe the Ride series is over. I have loved every single book since the first one, Cole. What an amazing way to end an amazing series but with Grace’s book, Coles daughter.
Grace and Ruston are just perfect for one another. The instant these two see one another at the clubhouse they know they are each other’s future.
There are some bumps along the way but Ruston and Grace just plow right over them. No obstacle will stop Ruston.
These two are a match made in heaven. They will have you laughing from start to finish and just going aww. Go read it, it won’t disappoint.

Grace by Megan O'Brien is book 5 in the Ride Series Second Generation Series. This is the story of Ruston King and Grace Jackson. Grace is the protected and much loved daughter of the Knights MC President. Although she is wishing to be more than that and to be more free she loves the MC family, so she has no real plans to move forward. But then Club President of the Royal Bloods, Ruston sees her and he knows instantly that she is to be his. But he has his work cut out for him to convince her to leave all that she knows. Loved their story and I do hope to read more from this author.

Grace and "King" Ruston pulled me into their story and never let me go. I could not put this book down. Parts of this book made me tear up and other parts made me laugh. Grace gave me all the feels. I loved how King and his Lady Bug meet, their relationship develops, and just how they are together. These two were perfect. I enjoyed seeing everyone together again.I was completely enthralled with this book. Grace is a great ending to a wonderful series I loved,but also a great start to a new series. I look forward to more stories from the Royal Blood MC series. Great read. I loved it!

The Ride Series is one of my all time favorite! The next generation almost topped it! Grace and Ruston might just displace her parents as my favorite couple! King takes one look at Grace and knows he found his Queen. Gracie was born a Princess of the Knights MC and watched as her friends found love. When Ruston King enters the clubhouse her whole world changes and it’s not long after she must decide if she going to let love pass her by. She wasn’t born to Cole & Scarlet Jackson to be a wallflower!

Pure Grace

Oh, what a joy this story is! Insta-connection, while still giving the "getting to know you" goodness. Ruston is very much the perfect King to make princess Grace his queen!

I love these two, and getting to catch up with the Knights while getting to know the new club. I love the perfect amount of suspense. And I LOVE the epilogue!!!

This series has been a part of my life for years,, & I'm looking forward to new stories featuring the new club... at least, I hope that's the direction we're going!

Excellent read!

This was such a bittersweet read! I did a full reread leading up to this and I must say this was the perfect ending for the series. We get some drama, danger, violence, an over the top alpha male that knows who and what he wants and isn't afraid to take it. Ruston was perfect for Grace in everyway. We do get a glimpse at the new MC that Megan O'Brien is starting and I am excited to see where that goes. I give this 5 amazing stars!

As much as I love MC romance I could not get past the insta love part of the story. Everything seemed so rushed and far fetched. To meet someone once and sit by their hospital bed for days did not make sense to me. It was also crazy that Ruston wanted Grace to move back with him once he was out of the hospital. Because everything moved so fast I had a hard time connecting with the characters and the story.

Not bad but...

## It was sooo very mushy. Talk about insta-love. No build up at all to their relationship. I was slightly disappointed. Both characters were likeable and the chemistry was there... it was just kind of boring because it was love at first sight. There was one conflict, but it was resolved so quickly that it didn't even register. If you don't mind insta-love then this book is perfect for you.

Omg. What an amazing book. It kept me riveted. I love how it was instant attraction. I couldn't put book down once started.

I loved Rouston and Grace together, they meet through the club. They have a instant connection. They take a while to be fully together. They really suited each other.

I can't wait for more.

* * * * *
Talk about an insta-love but caught in complications! Crazy chick in the hospital, an enemy gang, horrible bosses and their pervy sons, and over protective fathers. Ruston and Grace are fighting to make it work even when bullets are flying.
Fabulous addition to this series.

I’m so sad that this is the end of the Ride series. I spent a lot of time within Hawthorne and now that it’s over I’m not sure what to do with myself. This final book really had me in tears at times (which is awkward because I was reading it at work) but I would absolutely recommend this entire series to anybody with a slight addiction to motorcycles and over protective men.

What a ride⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been reading this series since the very first book. I have loved every book. I'm so sad that it has come to an end but I'm so excited for what's next. Megan O'Brien is one of my favorite authors and Grace is exactly why. I loved her feisty no nonsense attitude and Ruston was her perfect match. The perfect end to a new beginning.

New destiny

Grace and Ruston are meant to be, but the path to a new beginning isn't easy. Grace has been the princess of the Knights MC since she was born. Now catching the eye of the President of the Royal Bloods has her torn. But the only thing a princess can do is become a Queen. The Royal Bloods new queen.

I have loved this series and was eagerly awaiting Grace's book. I loved the introduction of the new characters and I'm excited to read about a new MC. However, this book felt rushed. The pacing felt a bit off and I didn't love it as much as I have loved the other books.
