Ravage MC Bound #10
Bound by Temptation
Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling author Ryan Michele brings the action packed, steamy next generation Ravage MC filled with angst and loyalty.
Every day like clockwork I entered into Fallon’s Bakery.
Coffee. That was what I told myself. I was just coming for coffee.
It had absolutely nothing to do with the woman who always had flour on her face, her hair in a messy bun on the top of her head, and a wide smile to greet every single person who entered the store.
Even for me. The man who ripped out her heart and walked away, never to look back.
I was an a$$hole.
I’d thought I’d done it for good reasons.
But now, all I could do was order my coffee, smile at her and leave.
No way she’d ever give me a shot again.
Too bad considering all I could think about was her.
She would forgive me. No matter what I had to do.
I was Axton a brother of the Ravage Motorcycle Club and we never gave up.
She didn’t know what was going to hit her because I was coming…for her.

Bound by Temptation was the tenth book in Ryan Michele’s Ravage MC Bound series, a spinoff and second generation from her Ravage MC series, one of my favorite series.
I’ve taken a break from formal reviews for a while, but a couple quick thoughts: Ax was the son to Bella and Buzz (book five, original series). It was fun to relive the Buzz/Beaker twins story now with Buzz’s twin sons, Ax and Raid. And the MC was prevalent throughout the storyline. I enjoyed Indie as well but her backbone was weaker at times. Then at other times she was strong. It’s a second chance trope and honestly once I learned why they split initially, I’m not sure in real life that Indie could have moved past it. I think Indie would have felt resentment for much longer. And I wanted more depth from AX. Otherwise, I loved the characters, the storyline, the MC loyalty and that it was a quick read. Ax’s twin, Raid, is up next in Bound by Passion.

Meh.
I can’t take a hero seriously when they constantly talk about how much they’ve always loved the heroine but continue to fuck other women 🙄
That, and weak heroines. Not my thing.

I’m sorry because I’ve loved a few books by this author but in this one there’s all the things I hate most in a book:
A real doormat
No real conversations, only sex
A stupid man who think with his dick and is always hard,
He only can say “I fucked up, I fucked up…” over and over but did nothing!
Heroine who forgets and forgives sooooo easily… and have swx with him soooo fast, some self respect woman!
Making a heroine suffer tooo much for my taste only for the H came and puffff!
He destroyed her life in high school, literally, he choose club and brother over her and ruined her life, for real, it’s too hard. She left town and had a life, good for her, but H never tried anything for six years, never cared…, she is back and now you’re mine again! I hate this trope…
I didn’t finish the book, but I assume, as always with MC she is in danger and H saves her, and that’s the HEA,
Why came back to a town where everyone treats you bad? Why? Nothing makes sense, Why getting horny with a man who ruined your life? No, no, no
Sorry,

Wow! Another great story in this ongoing series. The story was emotional and filled with a lot of pain, and it is mostly Indie's pain, and it is well deserved. Ax is Buzz and Bella's son and Ax also has a twin named Raid, and we have to say we loved seeing a lot of the original members and revisiting with them in Indie and Ax's story.
We are all for second chances and happily ever afters but, what Ax did to Indie in the past is something that did so much damage emotional damage that you just don't get over something like that so easily. I was rooting for them but, Ax had a lot to make up for and Indie we understood her constant attitude toward the man trust was broken as well as her heart but, those are major road blocks for sure but, nothing can come between their connection it was so strong and fierce and no matter how many years have passed their love for one another has never faded. The heart still wants what it wants.
Indie we loved her and her personality she was fierce and a bit too soft at times but, loveable, she was such a sweetheart. Ax, all protective and all alpha and is a take it like it wants kind of guy, and he is not taking no for an answer when it comes to making Indie his once again.
Loved the story and the emotion it had. Indie and Ax's chemistry was so strong and hot and clearly soulmates, that is what makes Ax's betrayal hard to take that he would have to thrown that all away too easily. Young and stupid but, he should have done things differently, sought the support system he had already in place. Glad circumstances presented themselves to allow a second chance to right the wrongs of one's past.
Not only did we enjoy being on Indie and Axton making their way back to one another, and there was another character that popped up from the past and not in a good way making trouble for the club, and boy what a surprise that ended up being.
This author continues to be one of my top favorites, each and every time she makes you fall in love with her characters again and again.

***5 Stars***
I’m not all too sure what I enjoyed more. Ax and Indie or just getting to hang around with the Ravage MC crew…okay, it’s probably a 50/50 split but regardless, this book was another great addition to the series and has left me wanting more.
Ax and Indie. These two. Ax is all kinds of cocky, protective alpha Axhole who’s charming and loving. Indie is a force. She’s driven, creative and picked herself up by her shitkickers and has made her dreams come to fruition.
I have to be honest, when what happened between Ax and Indie was revealed I didn’t know IF I wanted them to get back together ~ I know, not the reaction anyone reading a second chance romance wants to feel ~ but it was a whoa situation, even if they were teens. But their connection was one that couldn’t be denied and though I, personally, would have liked a little more…restraint, push back on certain things, I cannot deny that their journey back to each was satisfying when everything was said and done.
I’m a fangirl of the Ravage MC and this addition to the series gave me everything I love about it. Great characters and a strong family dynamic, the Old Ladies rocked big time in this baby, which not only makes me want more, but also has me going back to re-read some of my fav’s (Rhys, Deke and Micah are still the favs). But looking to the future, I gotta say that I’m totally looking forward to Raid’s book…especially after that epilogue.

Ravage are back!!! After a really long wait that has felt like forever the Ravage MC next gen are back with the first of the Buzz & Breakers (the twins) kids. This is a second chance romance and it wouldn’t be Ravage if it wasn’t packed with mysteries, angst and drama!! It is time to strap in and hold on for a thrill ride that you won’t want to miss. A slow burn but that is ok, the story is engaging and will keep you captivated, draw you in and keep you guessing!!
Axe Monroe has only ever truly wanted one thing in his life. But that is currently just out of his reach. An exceptionally stupid decision in high school cost him the most important thing in his life. He has spent the last 7 years living the biker lifestyle. A fluent ladie’s (I use this term loosely) man, Axe lives and breathes his club. But every morning he cannot help but torture himself by visiting Fallon’s bakery and ordering coffee and pastries, just to have some sort of interaction with the pretty little owner he hurt so long ago. If Axe though Indigo Fallon would give him another chance he would move heaven and earth to have her as his Queen!
To Indigo seeing Axe Monroe every day is just a reminder of how cruel life could be. Axe was always good looking but as a man it should be illegal to be as hot as he is. But he is still the boy who broke her heart all those years ago and Indie has spent a lot of time hardening herself to all men in general – they never get too close. Indie also has a secret from her past. When she left Sumner to make a new life for herself, things didn’t work out quite as she planned. Indie moved back home, opened her bakery and has tried to move on. The constant reminder of Axe everyday is not at all unwelcome but there is no way she will let on.
Add in the meddling old ladies of the club and Indie now has herself making a sweet sixteen birthday cake for Rhys’ youngest daughter what could possibly go wrong!!
I loved my trip back to Sumner to visit with the Ravage Mc and I cannot wait for the next book in the series! Enjoy!

Bound by Temptation is a second chance MC romance. Ax, the son of Buzz and Bella, tortures himself daily by hitting Indie's bakery to get his coffee very morning just so he can have a glimpse of her. His high school sweetheart who was in love with him, but his own actions drove her away and out of town. Six years later and she is back having opened her own bakery, and Ax realizes she will always be the one for him. The problem now is convincing Indie of this and overcoming all the walls she has put up with the damage he did when he pushed her away before.
Some parts of Bound by Temptation were clearly five stars for me. I was completely captivated by parts of the story and didn't want to put the books down. But other aspects to it I struggled with. I could understand why Ax did what he did, but I didn't understand why he couldn't tell Indie what had happened, nor why he waited so long to come clean with her and go after her. If this book had taken place while they were in college, not long after everything went down, it would have worked much better for me. In order to continue with the five star parts, I had to suspend disbelief a little and pretend there hadn't been this long separation and that it made more sense to me.
I also loved the bit of mystery that we had running through it, but again, aspects of that worked really well for me, but it should have folded more fully into the story. Indie would be reacting much more strongly to her current situation based on her past, and at one point I felt like things dropped away only to come rushing back right at the end.
Despite this, Ryan Michele is a writes an entertaining story and things flow so well that I moved quickly through this and was thoroughly entertained while doing so.

I love Ravage so much. It's like catching up with family every time a new book comes out. A family that keeps expanding and introducing new family members to us.
In this story, Ax & Indie have some serious history. As in, he was a dummy and not only broke Indie's heart, he shattered it, then walked all over it and then basically broke her trust in herself. When I finally got the back story for what went down I was like, yeah, ok. Indie totally has the right to treat him like dirt, and Lord knows she did NOT pull any punches when it came to verbally sparing with Ax. I mean, I kinda get why he did what he did when they were still in high school but at the same time, there were other, better ways that they could have gone about it that wouldn't have left Indie in the mess she was in.
Ax was just as alpha as every other male in the MCand he just bulldozed his way back into Indie's life. He did apologize, and he did explain what had actually happened back when they were 1st together, but I really wish he would have had to do a lot more groveling than what he did. The man did profess his love plenty, and he showed it too, especially in the physical aspects, but I feel like Indie and most of her family just gave in so easily.
As usual, the "love" scenes are straight 🥵🥵 and the writing flows so well that it pulls you right in and makes you feel like you are the characters. I can't wait for Raids book to see what's in store for him!!

I usually just leave my stars and keep it moving, but there are some things about this book that I need to get off my chest.
First off, I'm a fan of the entire Ravage MC series. It's my go-to when I just need a fun, easy read, but I was disappointed with this book. It felt like either two different people were writing parts of this story and they weren't talking to each other as they were doing it, or the author changed the storyline midway through, and didn't go back and updated the first half of the book.
For the entire first half, Indie mentions several times how she's been to the clubhouse once but it "wasn't the best experience," how she had her heart and soul ripped out at the clubhouse, and how she knew all about club mommas because "Ax made sure of that"--clearly hinting that Ax had cheated on Indie at the club (probably with a momma)-but then BAM, we're hit with the sex-tape scandal that left me with more questions than answers.
There have been times when details have changed from book to book (in Bound by Destiny Ax and Raid are Breaker and Shaina's twins) but this book literally contradicts ITSELF at every turn. (Like when Indie asks herself is she would be able to kill someone if it came down to it, and how she hoped she'd never have to find out...only to find out later in the book that she literally killed someone when it came down to it!)
Honestly there are plenty of other examples of this in this book, but I really do like this series, and I don't want to bash the author. I gave it 3 stars because I DID like Ax and Indie and their story, I just wish it didn't feel like this book was thrown together in a rush to get it out.

But anyways Ax was so awesome at first I didn’t know who he was or who he was related to until his dad came along and I was like Oo I remember now but anyways he’s really everything guys he was really good I loved everything about him really he was always there for indie after everything that happens between them i like how he knew he had messed up and he knew that it was gonna be hard to get indie to forgive him and he still kept on being there for her heard her when she told him how his decision with his brother affected her how she felt and not once did he discredit her feelings or thought it she was making a big deal. Indie is very strong I liked her regardless if she thought she gave up ti quickly I thought she was strong for making him wait for her never gave up on her feelings made him see how he hurt her and she stood her ground with him you guys are really going to like this one I know I did. Now like I said I have alot of questions about Raid and I can’t wait to see where he takes us I’m really excited for his story.

I will NEVER EVER get tired of reading anything by Ryan Michele, especially her MC romance. Bound by Temptation is a second chance story for Ax & Indie who have quite the hurtful past. Ax did something to Indie that she really never got past understandably, and she wants nothing to do with him ever again. She's come home & opened her own bakery, and Ax goes in everyday just to see her. I loved Ax despite the fact that he never stopped loving Indie but still got around (that annoys me so much), but he's finally determined to get her back. Indie isn't ready despite her not being able to resist him physically (they sizzle together), so their new journey takes off. On top of this portion of the program, there's also some things going on with the MC, and she has a stalker so the twists are coming in hot, making it an exciting read. Let me tell you, Indie is not a wilting flower either, as those years she was away from home after his stupidity were revealed making me actually cheering out loud. So yeah, I devoured this story in one sitting which isn't abnormal when I read this author so I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

So excited for this book! This installment in the series focuses on Ax and Indie. Ax and Indie were high school sweethearts who everyone thought would be together forever, until senior year when Ax completely turned on Indie and left her to be bullied and ridiculed and basically run her out of town. Years later, Indie has never forgiven Ax although they are still completely in love with each other, and when Ax finally has an in to get back into her life, he takes it. Indie has worked hard to avoid Ax when she returned home, and it takes the duration of the book for us to find out why she returned home, and it’s a shock that goes along with the suspense of who’s after her. Regarding their relationship and getting back together - when we find out the real reason behind the breakup between them all those years ago, it honestly gave me more questions than answers, and it really shows how dedicated Ax is towards both his blood brother as well as the club. I’m intrigued to see what happens in the next book, hoping that it’s Ax’s brother so we can get answers and more understanding as to what happened back then.

Second chance at getting things right but can they get past what he did? I could feel the pain and the pull these two had with each other, she put a brave front up but underneath she was still struggling. Ax knew how badly he hurt her but at the time he was young and had to make a choice, her or his twin, what he didn't take on board was the aftermath for her. This was angsty, emotional and hot, definately sparks. There is also Blaine, who is he and what is he up to? I had suspicions from the start where he was concerned but not knowing quite what happened while Indie was at college, it was hard to judge. There is plenty going on with this plot even when the two are doing the whole push pull between them, it was intense at some points and others there was a little fun. There was also some violence. I did love the women characters, so strong and they certainly had the sisterhood tied up. I was gripped and held fast throughout. It was really great to be back with some favourite characters and just know I was in for an amazing read and an escape from my every day life. Amazing

This is a second chance for Ax and Indie and after what happened when they dated in high school we do wonder whether Ax is just wasting his time going into the bakery everyday to see her as he for one cant stop loving her even though she shoots him down each time . Indie still loves him but can’t forgive or forget what he did so it is amusing seeing him get shot down.. I love how she doesn’t just rollover for anyone. She is feisty, loving and loyal when it comes to family and she has a talent, a talent that brings her back within the arms of Ravage MC A family which once they get their hooks into you and they like you you are protected for life which does come in handy for Indie when an incident does happen and it’s the Ol’ladies that come to the rescue. Oh I do love Princess and the gang. I’m so pleased they get a second chance and I enjoyed seeing the east of the MC however I am very curious of Raid and I really do hope that he gets to have his story told… I reckon that one will be explosive…I do love Ravage and I did love this story and I do think it is a welcome addition to it…

A second chance to have the only woman he’s ever loved will make Ax work hard to win her back and prove to her that he will always protect her and keep her safe. When the unthinkable happens and Ax isn’t there, can he forgive himself?
Ax and Indie had the perfect relationship while in high school. Ax and Raid ruled their school and Indie was the lucky girl that caught Ax’s attention. When things go sideways with Ax and Raid, Indie is caught in the middle and is destroyed.
I loved this story of a second chance at love for Ax and Indie and the growth that Ax shows is admirable. He is ready to have the relationship with Indie that he’s always wanted, but it won’t be as simple as saying he’s sorry. He’s going to have to work to get her back and prove that she’s worth the work and the time he will have to give to her to make her see that he is the only man for her. I loved this story and as always, I love the characters in this series. I give this book a 5-star review and am excited for Raid’s book.

This series is a hit or miss with me. Mainly hits, but this was definitely a miss.
There was a lot of inconsistencies and missing pieces. The concept was a great idea. I love the MC life and revisiting past characters. I also usually love a good mystery/suspense thrown in, but this seemed like a mystery book that forgot it was a mystery.
At first it seemed unbelievable, the events that took place, but then you could see where the author was going with it.
So, I thought back to the clues that lead to this... there weren't any. I realized the author forgot to elaborate what a lot of missing clues were. They were mentioned, but never gone over. Or maybe they were cut out. There was just too much going on for Indies portion to be added, sadly, it wasn't needed.
That or there needed to be a duet book.
I'm still looking forward to Raid's book, especially since I heard that would be a duet.

Ax & Indie
History bites! He reminds himself every day he enters her domain for a coffee and the best-baked goodies anywhere but most of all to see HER. The woman, or girl at the time, he sacrificed. Instead of putting her first, he knew even then, the club, and blood family came first. It should have been her. He determined to do whatever to make it right. He'd never forgotten her and she'd never forgiven him.
The second-generation series brings back so many favored characters. But don't worry if you haven't read the older characters' stories. Ryan Michele has masterfully shown how they interact and their strong personalities interacting. It's fun to remember and fun to meet them anew.
Both families and the club want them to get back together. With Ax's efforts, even with the secret, she keeps, he battles hard showing her life can be like a queen with all the protection she needs. Can she let go and let him in? Will she tell him her secrets?

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~
I have to say first off I love my Ravage family whenever I read a new Ravage MC book it's like coming home. I love how no matter what once you are part of the family you will forever have someone at your back. Ax blew it and destroyed Indie in High School, now Ax is determined and he wants his woman back. He visits her bakery everyday but he wants Indie back. Indie is determined to hate Ax but how can she war between what her body wants and keeping her heart safe. This story was so incredible and I couldn't put it down. I love a second chance romance and then you have the added twist of passion, blood, danger and mix that with the Ravage MC and you have the perfect story. I am a HUGE fan of Ryan Michele and I gobble up any new book she writes but this one I loved how complex Ax and Indie's story was, it truly is one I will read again and again.

Just give me more of the Ravage MC, this is in my top 3 MC series of all time, Ryan Michele has produced yet again a brilliant strong storyline and once I started Bound by Temptation, I did not put it down until I turned the last page and I still wanted more of Ax and Indie, this is a masterful second chance romance and setting this genre in an MC has to be perfect, or it would just not work, but Ms Michele nailed it with her usual precision.
High school sweethearts Ax and Indie were destiny to be together forever, or so Indie thought, until with one swift cut, Ax broke her heart, now the owner of the bakery/cafe in town, Adie keeps any interaction with Ax at a minimum, even though each morning he comes into her shop for his coffee, but Ax has waited long enough to win back the heart of the only girl he ever loved no matter what the cost.
I hope the next book in the series comes along soon I need my Ravage Fix early in the new year.

This is book 10 in the Bound series and book 19 of the Ravage MC. It can be read as a stand-alone, but you will be missing a lot of details. Ax and Indie are finally getting their chance together but I’m not sure how it’s going to happen. Things happened in both their lives since they were together. But Indie’s back in town making the most awesome cakes. She’s running a bakery and doing a fantastic job. Now she’s making this kick a** cake for the 16-year-old daughter of a club member. She’s going to prove how strong she is in more than one way. Ax is also proving how determined he is to get her back. You get to see other members of the club and see how much fun they still have. Trouble shows up and we see everyone pull together to protect the family. Can Indie see that she’s still family or will she run again? This is such a freaking awesome book! I have to say the Ravage family just keeps getting better and better.

4.5 Stars!
Ryan Michele is back with a brand new release in her infamous Ravage Bound MC series and what a book this was. Like many other readers out there, I'm a huge sucker for a second generation and Ryan has done this one absolutely brilliantly and given total justice to the OGs.
Bound by Temptation gives us the second chance story of Ax and Indie and y'all. Whoa. My heart took a beating in this beaut right here, right from the start. The ups, downs and everything in between.. it was everything. I devoured these two and their story and I'm pretty sure they devoured me right back. Danger, intensity, steam, heated tension, all the swoon. Ravage is back. What a journey.
Ryan Michele totally did it again with this beauty right here y'all. I can't wait for the next newbie from her, and since I've missed one along the way, I'll be going back to rectify that asap.
I can't recommend this author and series enough y'all.

From the very first Ravage book, Ryan Michele caught my attention and has held it. This woman is one of a handful of authors that I automatically buy, sometimes without even reading the summary…she’s that good and this series…wow…always amazing! This story revolves around one of Buzz and Bella’s twins, Ax, and his love, Indie. These two have such a messed up past and present but it’s all worth it to watch them get the future they deserve. In true Ravage fashion, nothing, and I do mean nothing, comes easy…but what a boring story if it did. Love revisiting the old crew and seeing what everyone is up to…these books definitely leave you invested in the stories. Exciting, sexy, funny and thrilling…can’t ask for better than that. Thanks for another fabulous book Ms. Michele, keep ‘‘em coming, please!

This second chance romance is one that grips hard and won’t let go. Ax has regretted his decision for years, a decision that cost him his heart and soul. Indie can’t forget and she isn’t sure if she will ever forgive but her heart and her head are at war when Ax decides it is time to show her that she was and will always be his. Their story is filled with confessions, revelations, grit, drama, witty banter and so much passion. These two keep you on your toes with the push and pull as Indie fights their future and Ax takes charge. The chemistry between these two is undeniable and will set the pages on fire. A great story from start to finish that leaves you curious and eager for the next book.

Ryan Michele has done it again, blew my socks off with this one!!
Ax and Fallon are perfect for one another. You can feel the chemistry through the pages. Fallon is the best kind of heroine, independent and holds her own. Ax is has the prefect amount of alpha maleness mixed with sweet. They will need those traits when Ax realizes he wants his girl back. Despite a bad break up years ago. Loved all the banter and laughs between these two and the members of both their families. Plus we get to see some of our favorite Ravage people!!!
Loved this book. It has everything I could want from an amazing story line to lots of laughs with a bit of drama thrown into the mix. Definitely recommend this book.

After a really long wait that has felt like forever the Ravage MC next gen are back with the first of the Buzz & Breakers (the twins) kids.
A pretty good story though I have to admit there were a few issues with the way Ax treated Indie and how easily she forgave him but it is good to visit Ravage MC again...
Bound by Temptation is the tenth book in Ryan Michele’s Ravage MC Bound series, a spinoff and second generation from her Ravage MC series
Ax is a brother in the Ravage MC and currently lives and works at Studio X ( the strip bar). He tells himself he go to the bakery to get his coffee fix.
Indie and Ax were high school sweethearts that ended and not the best way. Ax is determined to win her back and make her his but can she trust him?
