This book picks up right where book 2 ends... with that jaw dropping cliffhanger that made you yearn for answers. What a conclusion to a group of bikers and a sweet blonde who calls the shots. The authors made their readers fall for them, heart and soul.

River, Zach, Jax and Diesel were so easy to fall far. They each grew so much during this trilogy and it was beautiful to see. Jax is mine. His strength and vulnerability was perfection. Daddy D was exactly what Riv needed to help her desires grow and flourish.. and Zach, like how do you tell that man NO. He grew on me from book 1 and I enjoyed just how much he allowed himself to fall.

So much happened in this book. It was punch after punch of twists and turns. I almost want more of these 4. I adored them and am not ready for the epic love story to be over.

This is the final book in the Red Ridge Sinners series. And what a fun ride it was! This had some more heavy topics, what happened to Quinn and Crank, lord that was devastating. They have their own novella, but I think they deserve a fully length novel! The authors had been setting us up for what happened to Jax the whole series, so it finally coming to its conclusion was decently satisfying.

Zach was my favorite throughout the whole series, he was pretty consistent in his character but also showed growth as well. And he, in my opinion, got the harem together and made it what it was. If he never showed up in book one Jax and Diesel would probably still be pining. He set everything in motion and I love that, also his comedic relief was great!

I will admit I enjoyed the first series more. I wish they had done four books with this, like the first. It felt very rushed and like we didn't get enough time with the characters. There was talk of Diesel being this insanely kinky man, and we didn't really see that come to fruition. I thought the heavy topics with Jax were glossed over. I can't say too much without spoiling, but when something that big happens it needs the time to marinate and sink in.

But with that said I did enjoy this series and I'm very much looking forward to Kat's MFM story! And if you enjoy fast paced reverse harems with drool worthy men, this motorcycle club universe is for you and I highly recommend it!

Burning Up The Pages

Whew!! This continues to be one extremely hot series and their HEA could not have been any better. We’ve been following Zach, Jax, Diesel and River in the Red Ridge Sinners MC series and there have been many heartaches, tragedies, and surprises throughout but nothing could be better than the relationship these four have. I’ve watched River grow into the amazing woman she is today with the way she opens her heart to these men and helps them through their messed-up lives.

The family feeling that comes from the clubhouse is amazing and just like any family they have their issues but, in the end, they are there for each other no matter what life throws at them. Some of their backstories are so heartbreaking it’s a wonder they would open themselves back up to love.

This book had some extremely hot scenes and intense feelings and even had some laugh out loud moments thrown in. (You got to love Zach’s mom Cassie!!) Next, we have Kat’s story and I for one cannot wait to see what this author throws at me next!!

Great conclusion to a great series. In this final book, Jax, Zach, and "Daddy" D Diesel acclimate to the roles and dynamics of their relationship. Jax confronts his trauma but also heals with the support of his new quadruple family. Bad boy Zach continues to balance the guys with humor and naughtiness, and Diesel, with structure and "mature guy" direction. Great amount of group spice balanced with story.

The pace was progressive, and the characters were very appealing. Definitely liked River's more quiet strength to the heroine in the first series, and her guys were entirely there for her, and she for them. There were some loose ends though. I expected more in the way of the MC Crawlers. They were introduced as this bad rival group, but then never explored, making them appear more like a red herring. Second, there was no explanation as to Jax's mother's ability to move to Red Ridge to be with her son after being restricted not to leave.

Overall entertaining, though was not necessarily new, and I'm left feeling we explored all secrets of this world even with the loose ends. Still, my favorite of this author's MC series.

This conclusion was epic!! River, Jax, Zach and daddy D are back for the final installment, and man what a ride it was!

This book is jam packed from start to finish, and the emotions are so strong here. My heart crumbled so much for Jax and all that he's been through, but he just flourished so much under Rivers love and truly found a brotherhood with the rest of the guys. Each one of them brings something that the others need, and I just loved how much love there was between them all. They have all grown so much!!

I just can't recommend this series enough! I so can't wait for Kat's book!

**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions **

I would absolutely die for Daddy Diesel and I stand by that statement for all of eternity. However, you're gonna tease me for 2 damn books that this man is a k!nky mother-effer and like, secret Dom and then not even let him use his box of toys??? Not even once???? What an absolutely rude thing to do I was so freaking upset.

Some might consider that a spoiler but I consider it an absolute warning to put that hope aside and understand it's not happening. I held out hope *until the very end* and threw my kindle. I was so sad and mad about it that was all we'd heard about for two goddamn books and then *poof* he's vanilla. UGH.

Also this book was way too long. It was way too much constantly searching for someone and way too many inner monologues that just got hella repetitive and I just, honestly, ended up skimming big chunks of it when one of them ran off to do something stupid. Also wow what a reminder that River is in high school because I completely forgot for a while lol oops.

Aside from all that, this book was fine. I love Diesel. I would do anything for him. I didn't hate the storyline, just how wordy it was, and I liked that they finally got their HEA, but like, idk. Something was missing from this one and I just didn't feel as connected to all the characters as I had previously, which made it my least favorite of the three. Also way less steamy time since someone was always freakin hurt which also was a bummer.

But again, I love Diesel. I would die for Diesel. Diesel saved this book.

Rule by Caitlyn Dare was an intense, action packed and sultry reverse harem MC romance that brings the conclusion of River, Jax, Zach and Diesel's journey. It was nuclear hot and also adventurous. The tension and raw vibes of MC romance is felt in full force.

This is book 2 of a duet and must be read in order. At the end of book 1, we left Red Ridge sinners MC clubhouse after an attack. Zach feels it's the work of his old MC, the Nightcrawlers. He goes crazy when River and the girls are put in danger. Zach, Diesel and Jax will take revenge for sure but the enemies are coming from all directions. They have to face them together.


This story was more fast paced than book one. The MC life with the violence, intense loyalty and raw power came alive and I loved it. Diesel is the level headed and most sane one of their unusual group. Zach hides his unhinged side behind the banter and witty remarks. And Jax is the broken one. Jax has to face his demons and save River and also keep his broken pieces together. River is the glue that binds them. She has this army of loyal, protective, possessive alpha men at her disposal and she has all the power. Because she is fierce and she has the biggest heart and she sees beyond these men's darkness and twisted souls. It was definitely sizzling hot but my favourite part were the secrets and twists those kept me glued to the pages.

This book was seriously like coming home to me. When I first read this series, I fell in love. In love. The characters, River, Zach, Diesel, and Jax, had such an easy rapport with one another in this one. I loved reading how they all fell in love with each other and are accepting and healing from their past situations. I cried more than once in this book. It wasn't even that sad! I could just feel how much they love each other, and it tugged at my heartstrings. I think it truly proves how amazing Caitlyn's writing is because she made me feel their love. Insane talent right there.

I don't even think I could pick a favorite out of the guys. I adored them all. Jax with his newfound strength and vulnerability, Diesel with his sternness and depth, Zach with his snarkiness and playfulness. And River. God, her heart is just so pure, and she has so much love for these three men. The spice was top tier as well. I never thought that a certain phrase would be hot, but holy crap, it was (clench for me). Thanks, Daddy D, for saying that gem. The dirty talk killed me dead, and I am still deceased while writing this. Reading their journey of healing was so rewarding, and I'm grateful to have met these characters. I'm not ready to say goodbye to them. Jesus, I am not this sappy, I swear.

To soothe my aching heart, I will definitely check out the rest of Caitlyn's works. I know for a fact that I will love them.

Wow. What a finale to River and the guys! I am shook. I honestly wasn’t feeling them in the first chapter, I missed Sadie Ray and her guys, but once I got pasted that I think the sorry in this set of the MC RH was actually kinda a tiny bit better!! I didn’t want to cheat on Rhett but my god Daddy D and Zack 🥵 the way they come together for not only Riv but Jax - just shows the true gents they really are under their cuts!

The dramas each of the mc face together but fighting alone really grips you in. The gangs band together but this book showed that they all had a breaking point and without each other they may have had no way back from the darkness they had locked away. River brought them together, showed them “together” is a strength worth fighting for.

I’d have to say Zacks dirty mouth had my gasping and smiling hard to myself. I’m torn between him and D as to who is in my top 5 book boyfriends. They really pushed aside their angst to bring the gang together. They are a unit to be proud of! This book had some real low dark points, but full of funny one liners and emotional moments - definitely one of CD’s finest! Off to start Dare now!! Oi oiiiii!

This trilogy has been highly charged and emotional from the beginning. I was biting my nails up until the very end and I loved reading every moment of it.

Picking up right where Reap left off, the news is finally out that River is in a relationship with three men. Needless to say her protective brother isn't happy, but even with Rhett's big brother anger, River's guys don't waver in their growing love for her.

However, just as they've started to figure out a future together, the bottom always seems to drop out from underneath them. Their friendship and their love for each other will be the only thing that can get them through the tough times ahead.

This final book in the trilogy is very emotional and of course still full of steam. Always count on Zach's swagger for a few moments of levity and lots of love and family with this band of brothers.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

this freaking mc world will forever have me in a straight chokehold. I am SO in love with all the characters & the plots. just absolutely obsessed. I honestly thought nothing could top savage falls sinners (with Sadie & her boys), but man red ridge definitely gave me a run for my money.

I love River & her guys so freaking much. the banter, the love, the support they show each other. I absolutely love the closeness they shared & grew throughout this series. Zach, Jaxy boy & Daddy D will forever have my heart & I am so sad it’s over, but it was also the best ending. I loved everything about this quadruple!!!

What an ending to this series!! It's freaking EPIC!!

Rule is the 3rd and final book in the Red Ridge Sinners MC series.

We pick up where we left off in Reap, and holy crap, we learn so much and get the answers we have been wanting!

This series is a wild ride, will have you feeling all the emotions and the spice *chefs kiss*. It is the perfect conclusion to River, Zach, Jax and Diesels story. I'm so sad it's over, but this ending made my heart so happy.

And in true Caitlyn Dare fashion, we get a crazy a plot twist at the end you won't see coming!!

I don't wanna give any spoilers, just go read this EPICNESS!!! ASAP!!!

I received this arc for my honest review. This book continues where book 2 cliffhanger ended. So many things happened, the relationship between River and her guys grew into something you won’t want to miss out on and there was closure for the characters that needed it. The steam was off the charts with them throughout the entire book. You are kept on the edge of your seat throughout this book but the journey to their HEA will be worth it. I enjoyed this book so much and did not want it to end. This was my first series by Caitlyn Dare and I can’t wait to read more by her. Truly loved it from beginning to end.

I loved how this series wrapped up. River has grown so much from when we first met her in Sadie Ray’s books until now. This one really puts her and the guys through the wringer as they struggle to figure out who is targeting them. It’s nice to see them fighting together, supporting each other, and ultimately coming out stronger on the other side. I appreciated the cameos and moments of levity to balance the tough times in this one. I can’t wait to see what’s next for some of my favorite MC secondary characters.

TITLE: Rule
GENRE: New Adult Romance
AUTHOR: Caitlyn Dare
TROPE: MC Romance, Reverse Harem
TYPE: Series (Red Ridge Sinners MC Book 3)
POV: Multiple POV
MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5

The final installment of this trilogy did not disappoint! Rule was charming, suspenseful, spicy, and funny at times. River and her men, Jax, Zach, and Diesel, are thrown curveballs that test their relationship, all of which I found myself rooting for their happy ending. I am purposely vague about the storyline leaving it open for others to experience. I enjoyed the Red Ridge Sinners MC trilogy enough that I will be checking out more books by Caitlyn Dare, especially the Savage Falls Sinners MC series, which ties into this series. My rating is 4 / 5 stars.

Ugh! I didn't think I could love Zach anymore then I already did, but damn that man made a liar out of me! This story was probably my favorite because you got so many more twists and turns and can see so many other sides of these men! Diesel Jax and Zach are the perfect guys ! Totally swoon worthy!!! 5 stars hands down and 10/10 recommend! Can not wait for Kat's story!

I can’t believe this was the end of River, Zach, Jax & Diesel’s story! But it was the perfect ending for them. It was full of surprises & deliciously sexy scenes. They lit these pages on fire! These four give Sadie & her men a run for their money. I hope we get a novella or see more of them in *fingers crossed* future books from this MC.

Excellent

An excellent ending to this trilogy. I love how River grows throughout this series and the relationship between this 'quadruple'. Jax and Zach are especially guy BFF goals! Some twists and emotional turns before an awesome HEA.

Rule is the conclusion of River, Zach, Diesel, and Jax’s story, and can not be read as a standalone. 

Rule is nonstop heart, heat, and healing. Add in some uber f’d up situations, and I was completely enthralled. My heart was NOT ok. Their story wreaked havoc on my emotions, causing so much pain and heartbreak that every ounce bleeds through the pages and into the reader.


River and the guys explore more of their emotional connection, and I loved how their connection to River was as palpable as their connection to each other. I believe it started in book one, but everything in Rule confirmed that the four of them belong together.

The physical chemistry between River, Zach, Diesel, and Jax was brought to new *waves self* levels of hotness. Hot levels. As they fought alongside one another, there was a shift between them. Each of them was determined to assist Zach and Jax in overcoming their demons, whether they were nightmares or physical enemies. 

River, Zach, Diesel, and Jax's physical chemistry were brought to light. Some of their worst nightmares play out in front of their eyes, with their past reappearing, seemingly determined to derail the future they were attempting to build. This trilogy dealt with some serious issues, and I believe Dare handled them and the fallout in a respectful and realistic manner. It irritates me when an author incorporates such elements into their work while downplaying the trauma they would cause the character.

Rule is teeming with explosive chemistry, hot AF steam, heart-pounding suspense, and plenty more MC, bad "boy" alphas that I can't wait to read more about.

Rule is the final book in Red Ridge Sinners MC series, delivering the conclusion to River and her guys Jax, Diesel and Zach’s story.

Honestly don’t even know what to say or where to start given all that occurred and went down in this finale.
With the narrative picking up from the shocking cliffhanger ending in book 2 Reap. It was obvious that there was going to be so much to tell, say and show, given not only what had been learnt so far from the answers gained throughout Ruin and Reap. But with the questions still yet to be answered on top of Rule being the finale, it meant the final showdown was about to go paving way for a lot of chaos and mayhem within the plot.
And yet it still didn’t have me prepared for what Caitlyn Dare ended up delivering in the conclusion to River, Jax, Diesel and Zach's story.

Once again Caitlyn Dare managed to reel me back into this adventurous journey that was super angsty, emotionally charged, suspenseful and Red-Hot from steamy AF Fire, one last time.
This whirlwind ride just kept on giving as the story progressed, never allowing a dull moment.
It was an endless rollercoaster full of many ups and downs, with lots of turnings causing you to hold on tight.
The main different ways it had you feeling, given the seriousness of important issues that were developed on had the pages bleeding with many emotions, tugged on your heart strings in the process in a weighty way. All whilst having your stomach in knots from the intense tension and anxiety it produced, alongside the emotional turmoil and high levels of angsty-ness that caused uneasiness too. Given the suspense that had you waiting in anticipation for what was yet to come.
Especially when it came to a major plot twist, something that was completely unexpected to say the least.
Safe to say Caitlyn Dare definitely threw me for a loop with that, having been surprised and shocked.
So let it be known, although you may think you know what will go down with reading this book, especially if you read the first two books Ruin and Reap. However that won’t necessarily be the case.

One thing that could be counted on was the exploration of River and her relationship with the guys continuing to be developed on.
Not only did we see their emotional connection grow even more stronger, especially when it came to the moments of it being tested by the hurdles and obstacles they continued to face.
Although mostly in Jax and Zach’s case given their past still playing a part in their lives.
However given their bond they always fought to the end, no matter how hard it got. Always making sure to mainly help and push Jax and Zach to continue fight too, since they didn’t always feel worthy because of the demons they were fighting.
We saw the physical connection was still there too and even more powerful, but that wasn’t surprising given the chemistry they all shared.
Holy Hannah the fire between them was still RAUNCHIER than ever!
Caitlyn Dare definitely continued to raise the Spice level to OFF THE CHARTS HOT the more they gave into their lustful desires that never seemed to satiated.

It needs to be said, Jax was still my favourite by the end!
OMG all that he went through in his journey from hell and back, to hell yet again and then back once again had my heart hurting for him ten times over.
The struggles and pain from the demons he continued to fight was utter torture to watch, especially when it caused him to shut down.
Honestly it had me wanting to comfort him with a massive hug and then never letting go, whilst making him realise he deserved all the love and happiness in the world and that he wasn't broken.

Despite enjoying the book overall, there were a couple things that wouldn’t allow me to stop wondering about even after the book was finished.
Firstly it did feel like there were still some loose ends not fully tied up when all was said and done IMO. Without giving too much away, let's just say it involved Zach, his mum Cassie and Nightcrawlers.
And secondly was Diesel, it honestly felt like there was hardly any development with his character. Not just in Rule but throughout the series, especially when you compare it to Jax and Zach's character IMO.
For example one of the main traits that came to light about Diesel’s character in the first book seemed to be ignored throughout the majority of the series. Except for one particular scene where it was mentioned and then acted on within Rule, but only for a short period of time. And without ever going into anymore detail or development.

Overall, Rule was still a great read, finishing off Red Ridge Sinners MC series with a well deserving HEA worthy of River and her guys. Especially Jax my favourite!
Caitlyn Dare has me looking forward to the next story which just so happens to be Kat's from the peek given at the end.

River’s trilogy is complete!!! This really was such a great companion to Sadie Ray’s series Savage. (Which I do recommend to read before this series as to avoid spoilers for Sadie Ray’s story, but it isn’t a requirement.) I am excited for what’s next in the Red Ridge/Savage Falls world.

Rule begins with the guys’ perspective of the cliffhanger from Reap. So we find out what exactly made the MC lock down River, Kat, and Quinn with Tank. While Zach is busy blaming himself for everything that is going wrong, Crank is out for blood.

After an underprepared attack, truths come out and everything the Sinners thought was going on gets flipped. While still on lockdown, River gets kidnapped and finally the reason for all of the attacks start to make more sense.

While River and the guys struggle to maintain their relationship, with past traumas coming into play, and pressures from outside forces, one member starts to break. Can love, commitment, and family change things around so they can all get their happily ever after?
"Our relationship isn't simple, it won't always be easy, but I don't doubt that it is exactly what I need. Them. Me. Us. Together."
This was such a great conclusion to the trilogy. All questions answered. Nothing left hanging. Hot and Spicy. And maybe even a little teary at a point or two.

When I started this series, I wasn’t sure which guy was my favorite solely because I thought each one was an asshole. But upon completion, I can’t choose for another reason. Zach, Jax, and Diesel are all absolutely perfect for River. They are each assholes, I mean they are members of a MC Club, but they aren’t to River anymore. They have more than made up for all they they had originally put her through.

I will never get over how easily Caitlyn Dare’s writing flows. They are able to completely immerse me in their books. They have great humor and action-packed moments, along with fantastic tension and angst, that build great momentum for the heartfelt scenes. I will continue to read and love their books!!! Looking forward to Kat’s story Defy. While I wait I am thinking I will dip into the back list and FINALLY read The Rebels of Sterling Prep.

This concludes the story of River and her boys! This series was a ride, that’s for sure!! There are some pretty heavy themes in this one, so make sure you check triggers before diving in. I’d go as far as saying this is one of the heaviest themed books in this world! What happens to Quinn and Crank is devastating, and I would LOVE to see them get a full length novel of their own so we could see their healing process!! Also, what happens with Jax is very hard to read—I cried, and it broke me down, but I absolutely loved Jax’s character!

I honestly loved River and her boys; Diesel, Jax and Zach. I would say it was hard to pick a favorite, but it also wasn’t. I absolutely ADORE Jax. There’s just something about a broken man, and him working to get what he deserves out of life! That being said, Jax gives us some pretty heavy stuff, and it honestly surprised me what we got from him throughout the book. I would have liked to see more of his healing process because I felt that his trauma was slightly glossed over, and things happened, and then a chapter or two later it was like nothing happened and he was “okay.”

I was also kind of disappointed that Diesel was built up as a man that loves his kink, and we didn’t really see it. Yes, we got snippets of it, but I just wanted more; I wanted it to be more intense. I did feel like we didn’t get as much of Diesel as we got of Zach and Jax; they kind of took the forefront. I love all the men and I would have loved to have gotten more Diesel!!

I loved the growth we got from Zach. He was so standoffish early on, and had the attitude that he didn’t need the relationship with River; but he grows and becomes the man that River needs him to be!

The banter in this book is very good. I found myself frequently laughing about things said between the guys and River! You can feel the love these guys have for their girl through the pages, and I truly loved their dynamic!

I was super sad to see their story come to a close, but next up—Kat!! Super excited for that!

Wow…The Red Ridge Sinners MC and the Savage Falls MC and all related spin offs just keep getting better and better. I can’t wait for Defy to come out. I have read both the Red Ridge Sinners MC and the Savage Falls Sinners MC and plan on reading Crank and Dare while waiting for Defy . They are all fantastic books that is all about family, loyalty, and respect. All the characters in both series have their own personality and past that shaped who they are in the Red Ridge Sinners MC and/or Savage Falls Sinners MC. The members have each other’s backs and like and family have their differences and problems. Caitlyn Dare has become on of my favorite authors because not only does she have a great “voice” but she creates characters that are strong individuals with their own foibles and insecurities that they need to overcome. Caitlyn is also the type of author that captures your attention right from the start and will keep you captivated by the story you are reading. I love that she can draw out an emotional response from me while reading. I sometimes get strange looks but I don’t care. Everything I love about books from Caitlyn Dare is all a part of Rule. Rule is filled with all of the elements mentioned above and with lots of twist, turn, drama, angst, things going sideways, and sooo much heat. Being that both The Red Ridge Sinners MC and The Savage Falls Sinners MC series are RH it gets to be panty meltingly hot!! Highly recommend Rule, The Red Ridge Sinners MC series, The Savage Falls Sinners MC series and Caitlyn Dare as an author. If you love bully romances then you will also love Caitlyn’s other two series, Rebels at Sterling Prep and Shattered Legacy series. Happy Reading!!

"I need life to calm the fuck down . I’m fed up with club wars and fucking threats. I just want to live life hanging with my brothers and listening to my girl scream my name. Is that too much to fucking ask for?"

And here it is. The stunning conclusion to the Red Ridge Sinners series. This book picks up from that epic cliffhanger in book 2. So many things going on throughout this entire book. It almost feels like there is no end in sight for this quadruple. But there is, it's just a hard fought battle to get there. I was absolutely gripped from the very beginning. And I didn't even want to put this book down. This book certainly had its share of steam, but it wasn't afraid to show the emotional side to it. I absolutely loved reading Jax's and Zach's POV most of all because they really didn't dumb down the hardship they endured, all the drama and obstacles that were thrown their way just to get them where they are now. In a loving family, in a relationship. That they didn't go through everything for nothing. They have River standing by their side. They have the MC at their backs. Always count on Zach to diffuse a situation with his bad boy swagger and humor. Count on Diesel to be the voice of reason. Count on Jax to be the silent and steady companion. Count on River to be their anchor. The reason to be grounded and tethered. Watching these guys fall in love with River, to see how much they love her, is nothing short of amazing and breath-taking.

This book picks up right where book two, Reap, left off. After that cliffhanger we were left with I couldn't wait to get my greedy little hands on this one! This book was action packed, raw, gritty, and super sexy. Caitlyn Dare has a way with words that keeps you entertained the entire way through, from beginning to the end the excitement never stops!

River, Zack, Jax, and Diesel are such a perfect foursome. I really enjoyed how each guy added something different to the relationship, all giving River something she needed. They all literally worship the ground she walks on, what girl wouldn't love that!

'I loved seeing the growth within these characters. River really grows into the woman she was meant to be, she finds her strength and a sense of purpose with her guys and within the club, finally feeling like she belongs and finds her own family. And in a way I think all the guys also find their purpose within their relationship. Jax faces some hard truths about his past and finds strength within himself, River and the guys there every step of the way. I really enjoyed his and Zacks relationship, the bond these two had was beautiful to see. And where Zack added a mischievousness to the relationship, Daddy D was their as the voice of reason and balanced everyone out.

And lets not leave out the physical connection between these characters. There were some off the charts H.O.T. scenes, so prepare yourselves ;).

Well the ending of River Savage's deliciously forbidden saga is exactly what I was wanting from these characters since I started this series; an actual caring moment between River and her men. Finally!

Since I mentioned the guys, let's start with Zach. I never thought I would see a tender side from the club bad boy, but it really happened! For me, his reputation has been changed to 'completely swoon-worthy'! *Sigh* Even while Zach has shown he does have a heart, Jax still owns my heart since the last book. He definitely holds the top spot as my favorite of River's guys. Then there is Diesel. There was just something about Diesel that bothered me throughout this series. I like Diesel, I just struggled to find any passionate, heart stopping, life-changing chemistry that he felt for River. While he seemed to care for her, their connection was more of a 'friend's with benefits' scenario than a guy hopelessly in love with his sister's best friend. 

I love how much River has grown since she first started her relationship with Zach, Jax, and Diesel. There were times I worried she would let her insecurities with her guys make her a scared and desperately clingy mess. Instead, River has surprised me with how much love, strength, and support she has shown for the ones she loves. 

I will definitely miss River and her guys, but hopefully her friend Kat's story will be just the perfect cure for my book hangover.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

The truth is out-I'm in love with three Sinners. Zach, Jax, and Diesel might want to make me theirs but there's still too many secrets. between us, one that could ruin everything. One that could break us. They might rule my body. Own my heart. But ultimately, they have the power to break me. Only it isn't our future we have to worry about, because the past is about to catch up with us. And when it does....Nothing will ever be the same again.

This is a full length dark enemies to lovers/bully romance plus a why choose book also. You need to heed the warnings in the beginning of the book because this one might contain some triggers for some readers.
If you have been reading the Red Ridge Sinners Series then you have met Zach, Jax, Diesel and River. All these characters are actually all one big family and I have loved reading these book. But now we get this story and I have to say this one will keep you on the edge of your seat and reading as fast as you can. You will not want to lay this book down at all. I loved all these characters so much. There are secrets flying about and girl who doesn't have to choose and has three of the most awesome men at her beck and call. You do not want to miss this book. I had the best time reading it and hated to see it end.

After that cliffhanger, I am so glad we didn’t have to wait too long to get Rule. I have fallen in love with River as she went from what appeared to be mild and meek to a strong Old Lady of the MC. Oh and her guys? I mean Zach still is my number one, but we got to finally see Jax break free and Daddy D showing us just how he controls a situation.

We pick up where that cliffhanger left us and then are thrown into one uphill battle after another. There is no such thing as slowing down when it comes to being with the Sinners. River has to battle to recover in so many ways, but we truly get to witness what happened to make Jax be the guy he is. Rhett shows off his big brother status yet again and we watch River continue to bloom as her guys show up time and time again when she needs them the most. We are reminded that once you are a Sinner, you are family and family does everything for you.

I do wish we would have gotten a little more Quinn and Crank, but honestly, I loved when everyone gathered around the table in the compound. I might have enjoyed River and her guys more than I did her big brother with Sadie, Dane and Wes which is saying a lot.

Caitlyn Dare gave us yet another great trilogy and sets us all up for Kat’s book which is coming this summer.

This was the perfect conclusion to Riv and her guys' story! I just LOVE Jax in this book. The previous books focused so much on his history and trauma and how that impacted his relationship with River and his relationship with Zach and Diesel but this book had him moving forward. It was sweet and spicy and just perfect. Zach still holds the top spot for me though. I wanted to throttle him at the beginning of the book (you know which part I'm talking about too) but he redeemed himself quickly once that whole situation got itself sorted.

Now let's talk about Daddy D for a minute here... I was bummed that we didn't get more from him in the spice department. I wanted and hoped so much more from him especially since he has that nickname and that box under his bed.

One thing I really enjoy about Caitlyn Dare's writing style is that it is so raw at times so when the book has tension or is an emotional moment then you really just sucked right into it as if you are right there. We got to see River mature ALOT in this final book in the series and start to come into her strength alongside her guys. I'm super excited to jump into Kat's story next!

Rating - 5/5
Spice Level - 3/5

What a way to end a series! Rule is hands down the best out of all 3 books.

River and her guys are back and ready for the conclusion to their story. Now no story is complete and if you are a huge Caitlyn Dare fan like myself you know you never get a clean story. Its always messy and full of angst before we get the ending we want. Rule is no different. The steam. The angst. The drama was all worth it!!!!!

There were so many moments in this one that had me thinking no way. I'm always shocked in the best way when reading books written by these ladies. They know how to keep your interest.

Rule is my favorite out of these 3. Not because of its the ending but because I needed to see how this all plays out with our broken hotboy biker. I needed more into his past and we get that. The love of all these characters...you can feel it. They won my heart over....but I said it before Zach is still mine 😉.

I'm so ready for more. Can't wait to see what comes next!

*Rule is book 3 in the Red Ridge Sinners MC series. It is not a standalone and needs to be read after books 1 and 2
