Blog Tour Review: Bound by Family by Ryan Michelle

I love a good MC story and Ryan Michelle has provided some spectacular characters in her Ravage MC series.  I was excited to see what happens with the next generation of Ravage MC members.  Unfortunately, Cruz’s story fell a little flat.

Cruz meet Bristyl at a ride weekend in Florida when he saves her and her friend from being pushed around by members of another MC.  Cruz stepping in like he did causes a little friction, but he was willing to deal with that because of the instant attraction he has to her.  For the first time in his life he experiences being torn between his brothers and a woman.

Bristyl was raised in an MC and understands how they operate and a woman’s place.  But when her father and brother start acting weird her her developing relationship with Cruz seems the safest place for her.

I liked Cruz and Bristyl together.  Maybe if the story just focused on that and a little Ravage business, I would have been OK.  But when Bristyl’s family basically throws her to wolves, the book was lost to me.  From Bristyl’s inner monologues, she father was all about his family and he did what he had to in order to protect his family.  So it seemed odd that he was so quick to choose his club over his daughter.  And why did it take another MC to make him realize what he was doing was wrong?  It felt off to me and took away from the romance of these two.

It was great to get to visit with the other members of Ravage (Princess seemed crazier now that she did in her book 🙂 ).  I look forward to seeing what comes next in this series.

Excerpt

Bristyl

Holy hells bells.

I’m not sure if I should be pissed that my brothers and father left me to deal with this mess or thank them for the gorgeous eye candy. Not that I would, because they’d have a fit either way, but damn. Maybe it’s my mom smiling down on me, giving me a ray of sunshine through this mess.

All three of the guys are hot in their own way. By the cuts on their backs, they belong to the Ravage Motorcycle Club. Here for the rally, of course, and will be gone in a flash. That’s how it is. What the hell, I’ll enjoy the view while I can.

I sop up the water and wring out the mop head, then repeat … again and again.

Ryker, who boldly introduced himself, is a player. Yep, seen hundreds of them in my day growing up in the club. Tattoos, sexy vibe … I bet he doesn’t even have to ask women, just crooks his finger.

The other man, who I’m not sure his name, looks a little lighter in a way, but I’m not sure how to describe it.

Cooper, though. My heavens. Talk about charismatic, and I got that just from the few words he spoke to me. Hell, I get it just from being in the same room with him. It’s like he oozes it out of his pores, releasing it out in the world for women to fall at his feet and beg. Then there’s the hair. I can’t call it light, and it’s definitely not dark. It’s a unique combination of the two; light browns intertwined with a few darker browns, giving his hair a shade I haven’t seen before. Like a caramel color with an edge, and long. So much so that he has a hair tie wrapped around his wrist. No doubt he puts it up regularly. I’d put money on it only amping up his sexiness.

When our eyes connected for that brief moment, the blue popped out in his. I also noticed some navy around the edges. That combination of hair and eyes … Be still my deprived heart.

The way his pants ride low on his hips makes me want to give up all kinds of things to get him to raise his arms above his head so his black T-shirt rises up and I can see what’s underneath.

He has tattoos running all up his left arm, disappearing under his shirt. I can see some black poking through the top at his neck, too. It piques my curiosity, wanting to find out what he’s hiding.

I shake my head and squeeze out the mop. It’s been way too long since … Never mind.
