this was good but the dialogue was terrible, it was like very formal and idk it just reminds me of how they talk in soap operas which will sometimes come off not how normal people talk.

Aries & Raven getting down in Vegas♥️♠️♥️

That’s how you play in Vegas🏙️, like the saying goes “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” and boy did Aries and Raven made the most of their time together🥰🥰🥰.

Raven was like a tornado that blew in and left Aries shook😛. I mean the way they met was like WHOA😱😈🥵. I did not expect Raven to be so free with herself but from what she’s been enduring back home I understood. I laughed like his MC brothers did at how quickly he reached out to them about Raven🤣. She deserved all the attention she received from Aries and thank goodness he had eyes on her so when things turned dangerous, he was on top of it👍🏽. Raven’s sister did her wrong as did their mother😖. The fact that she didn’t even take care of her own child and had the nerve to be upset at Raven was unreal and she totally deserved what she got.

I’m glad there was a HEA for Aries and Raven😘😘😘. With the chemistry they had there was no way they’d be apart for too long. This was a great addition to the Sin City MC series. Well done Ms. Loren❤️.

Aries + Raven are mind blowing!!! 🤯

I should've known after reading some of L. Loren's books that she was gonna bring the receipts with Aries. And bring it she did! Right from the first page I knew this book was a page turner. Raven getting TOLD by her mother to come and pick up her niece Kanery. Raven's sister Robin, a drug addict, is an in and out mother of the worst kind.
Through a surprise wedding of her friend Sandy, Raven as Maid of honor gets to travel to Las Vegas where she meets get soulmate Aries. No spoilers! But after Aries meets Raven in a VERY VERY wicked set of circumstances realizes Raven is his ONE. And you know the code. They don't stop till all the cards are played. And Aries played to win!
This book has so much juice!! I don't want to ruin the book for the next reader. Just know that the chemistry between Aries and Raven is so palpable and strong that you wonder how either will survive when Raven has to return home to Atlanta. And what's up with the new sex trafficking shenanigans and what does it have to do with Raven? You have to read the book. And trust me! It gets deep. L. Loren did her thing with Aries and Raven's story. Great book!! ❤️❤️

Raven and Clay's story was so beautiful and sexy.. Aries's story was so heartbreaking for a child to go through and you felt his pain and you understood why he was the way he was and why he felt he didn't need love. Raven was a goodie to shoes when we first meet her. I loved when Raven finally stood up to her parents especially her mother. Aries definitely had some funny parts and the sexy times was smoking. I definitely enjoyed reading Aries. L.Loren never disappoints me and I can't wait for her next book. L.Loren has a way of sucking you in with her books to where you can't put it down.

An unusual crossing of paths in a one in a million situation, has lead to the connection of Raven and Aries. How are they going to handle business in the future? These two are fire!!!! Another really great addition to the Sin City MC series.

This will have you laughing.

Okay Ms Loren I love your stories, truthfully I wanted to give a 4 stars because of the short ending it seem it was way more then her seeing her sister in Vegas, then the Epilogue. And that was really short, but I had to give it a 5 star because Raven had me laughing wanting to scream it was not only hot sexy, but hilariously funny. I loved it, I know this was a series. Please do one on Pansy & Zero I would really love to read that with all these crazy bada$$ women. This is a most read

LOVE ARIES AND HIS RAVEN

Great story as always, but a little disappointed in the end. It ends so abruptly it kind of ruins the whole thing. It needed a final act. To wrap it all up. Hopefully by the end of the series we get more of them.

Great read, rushed ending

I enjoyed the story but as with many of the authors books. The ending is rushed and taken away from most of the stories.

Robbed of HEA or HFN

Overall, there are plenty of enjoyable parts in the fourth book of the 𝑺𝒊𝒏 𝑪𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑴𝑪 series, Raven has spent most of her bending to the will of her parents. Her best friend is getting married in Vegas and Raven is down to party. While attempting a scavenger hunt, Raven under the influence of edibles gets more than a selfie with a biker. His brothers throw him a surprise birthday party and although he isn’t down to celebrate that is until Raven walks into his life and gives him the ride of his life.

Despite this, it does not rise above a three-star rating, and while I had no difficulty pinning down why this is, I concluded that it comes from several things in this story. One of which is Raven pulling Candy off of Aries while she is taking care of him. The second was I felt readers were robbed of the HEA or HFN and the story ended rather abruptly.

Where is the rest of the book thou it was left unresolved. Is there a part 2 or something this can't be the ending.

Delightful

WOW this is a amazing story! One that you will definitely enjoy. There is so much excitement with these awesome characters, they have such great chemistry. It's funny, thrilling and very passionate with parts that will bring tears to your eyes along with the drama element, but there is a lot of laughter and it's one thing I enjoyed the most! What I enjoyed is the time spent with of the couple their relationship is so beautiful and enjoyable ⭐I am going to totally devouring this series when I finished reading the last page, I still wanted more! I was so absorbed into how their relationship is developing, it wasn't a rushed tight story line either. The story just flows so smoothly . There's humour in parts of the story and their attraction towards each other is off-the-charts! Plus this is an all around amazing story to read. I am enjoying their journey. I'm so excited for the next book!😍💑💃Overall this is a five star story and series which l greatly enjoyed and again I'm excited about the next story.

First let me say I was really looking forward to reading this book after I read her "thank you" to her proofreader. Well, I'm not so sure "thanks" are in order here. I found lots of typos, but I guess saying thank you has to do with writers etiquette. This made for an unpleasant read, sometimes typos happen, I get it, but for me personally, its a problem. I didn't like the abrupt ending as well. I generously gave it 4 stars, I'm not sure it deserved. Also, I'm not sure if I'll continue reading this series.

I hate the way this ended

But I loved the plot. Raven and her crew were no joke. They don't play. Aries finally found the one. Raven is like no other woman he knew. He usually f**ked and bucked, but not with Raven. He wanted to bathe in her presence.

Now I guess I'm forced to read the next book in the series. I hate cliffhangers but I'm lucky I have the other books in the series.

I loved this story but the ending was rushed and incomplete. It felt like some parts were skipped or omitted to get to the end.

Convoluted

GR8 sex does not equal LOVE! I'm to believe that after they openly have sex in front of everyone at a party they find true love? That the main character knowingly consumes drug when her sister is an addict under the pretense of "having fun in Vegas."

The plot was weak at best. Then as a page filler, the author randomly throws in the main character's sister, who supposedly has a drug addition as part of running a sex trafficking ring?!

Just a RIDICULOUS plot. There was no chemistry between the characters. Even the sex scenes were blah. Not worth reading.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

I never would have guessed what really happened to Aries' mother and brother. I just knew she was doing that to get away from her husband and wanted to take her children with her. I'm glad Aries got the truth out of his father but his life didn't have meaning until he met Raven. On vacation for her best friend's wedding and playing scavenger hunt decided to let her freak flag fly and boy did it fly. Her sister was a piece of crap and deserved worse than jail. I was glad that Raven stood up to her mother also. This was a good read.💓💓

Aries

Aries lock is heart away after losing his family as a child only using women as play thing. Rave was the sensitive, serious one her and her friends went to Vegas for a wedding and she met and fell hard and fast for the hot biker. Her sister was a bish who left her child to do drugs and whatever else .

it kinda started great

Ummm ok… so it started great. With a natural flow of story and characters the towards the end, the author just said “F” it I’m over it, how do I end this quickly. It was rushed and stupid. Idk why she would take the time to create something with so much potential to then say meh I’m over it. It ruined my feelings on the couple.

Abrupt ending!

I really enjoyed the book until it just....stopped. Really, a one paragraph wrap up instead of writing what happened? I was all set to give this book a 5, grammar errors and all, but the one paragraph ending messed it up for me. Seems like the author got tired of the story and just quickly wrote a wrap up paragraph. Disappointing.

Drop it like its hot

This was a good story. I enjoyed the way Raven and Aries come together. The trouble with her sister is heartbreaking. I'm glad Raven stepped up.
They had their HEA, it was delayed for a while.
