Carla’s Three Star Review:
The Raven Riders Motorcycle Club is known for two things: being a loyal brotherhood and protecting those who can’t protect themselves. Dare Kenyon is the club’s president, and he is one complicated guy. After losing his mother and older brother at a young age, he is filled with guilt and that has made him into the man he is today. He has no idea that when he places two girls on the run under the club’s protection, his life will be forever changed.
Up to this point, Haven Randall’s life has been hell. Her mother abandoned her as a baby and left her in the hands of her abusive father. When her best friend, Cora, agrees to run away with her, Haven jumps at the chance. Following a series of unforeseen events, she and Cora end up at the Raven Riders MC. Despite her shyness and inexperience, she is immediately attracted to Dare, and he is equally attracted to her. For different reasons, they each try to resist their attraction to no avail. The problem is that Raven’s father wants her back, and he will stop at nothing to get her back under his control. Can Dare protect both Haven and his club. or will he be forced to choose one’s safety over the others?
Anyone who knows me knows that I love a good MC read, and I will read every one I can get my hands on. I went into this book thinking it was sure to be a five star read for me,
but sadly it fell short. I thought the overall concept behind this story line was a good one, but this book lacked action. Sure, there was some action at the very end, but it just wasn’t enough for me. *Arc received through publisher for an honest review.

Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Haven has had a life with her criminal father that no one should ever live. She finally ran along with her best friend Cora. Rescued from a gang that kidnapped them because of the bounty on their heads from Haven’s father, they find themselves under the protection of the Raven Riders Motorcycle Club. Everything they had they lost after being kidnapped but the Ravens are offerings them the protection that they desperately need. Haven is skittish and shy around people and for obvious reasons doesn’t trust many people. She does however start to feel safe with the Ravens especially their President Dare. But Havens keeping secrets. Dangerous secrets the MC needs to know.
Dare Kenyon formed the Raven Riders MC along with his Uncle. Their a different kind of MC from the usual ones. Their main mission is to protect the abused and help them start a new life. Dare, being the President, takes the responsibility of his brothers life’s and the ones they protect very seriously. He’s lost to much in his life due to an abusive person and he won’t let that happen again. Upon meeting Haven and Cora he begins to have an attraction to Haven. He’s protecting what’s his and he’s never backed down from a fight.
I want a Dare of my very own. I fell head over hills for this MC President. He’s not had an easy life but has turned it around to do good. He’s fiercely protective of everyone and no one better not mess with his club or the people their protecting. Haven is a very serious, sheltered to a degree but controlled by her father her whole life, young lady. She’s not gotten to finish high school or go to a party Normal things a twenty two year old should have experienced. She’s painfully shy and I loved every second of watching her come out of her shell. I loved Cora too. She’s the best friend we all hope we have in life. She would go to the ends of the earth for Haven and has had her share of things she shouldn’t have had to experience. They keep each other grounded and protected. They have such a friendship Cora would do anything for Haven including running with her. While not you average action packed MC read I loved every second of Ride Hard. It’s more a love story with a side of danger.
Laura Kaye has written a edgy love story romance readers are sure to fall in love with. I can’t wait to read more from Laura Kaye!!

About Ride Hard (Raven Riders #1):
Brotherhood. Club. Family.
They live and ride by their own rules.
These are the Raven Riders…
Raven Riders Motorcycle Club President Dare Kenyon rides hard and values loyalty above all else. He’ll do anything to protect the brotherhood of bikers—the only family he’s got—as well as those who can’t defend themselves. So when mistrustful Haven Randall lands on the club’s doorstep scared that she’s being hunted, Dare takes her in, swears to keep her safe, and pushes to learn the secrets overshadowing her pretty smile.
Haven fled from years of abuse at the hands of her criminal father and is suspicious of any man’s promises, including those of the darkly sexy and overwhelmingly intense Ravens’ leader. But as the powerful attraction between them flares to life, Dare pushes her boundaries and tempts her to want things she never thought she could.
The past never dies without a fight, but Dare Kenyon’s never backed down before…
