*NEWLY EDITED & REVISED*
Tank
It had always been about the ride. My love for the ride is what fuels me. It’s what drives me. That freedom of the open road in front of you with not a damn thing holding you back is what I crave.
I don’t need much, shit I don’t want much out of life. My bike, my club, my brothers, my money, and occasionally a warm and willing women in my bed is what I need.
I liked my life that way. It works for me. I enjoyed the familiarity of it. But slowly things were changing. I can feel that change in the air. It's everywhere. There comes a point in your life where things just change. No matter how much I fight it. No matter how hard I hang on, it's changing. Whether by choice or not. For better or worse it gets turned upside down on its fucking head. The moment I laid eyes on her shit changed forever. Things were on their way to changing, but fuck if she didn't tip that shit right over. She hit me like a blow to the chest crippling me. Rocking my world. That girl completely blew everything I thought I wanted to shit. She took me on a wild ride and for better or worse she changed everything for me.
Lil
The loud rumble of pipes fills me with a sense of home. Deep gruff male voices remind me of nights spent sitting at the bar listening to the guys tell me stories. The smell of leather, grease, and smoke brings back memories of hot summer days spent around the compound. The sound of classic rock makes me want to dance. A group of rough and mean men makes me smile. Seeing a beautifully crafted bike makes my heart beat a little faster. A man in leather always makes me hot. The feel of the vibration through my body from a perfectly tuned bike takes me right back to my old life. Some things never change. Sometimes those things are never meant to change. Although much hadn't changed since I left, a few things had. The loss of loved ones, the addition of new ones. With one new addition to life things changed for me forever. My life will never be the same. He changed it all.

The 2nd book to “The Ride” in The Hell’s Disciples MC Series
It's a constant battle between us now. I give, and he just takes, and we can't go on like this.
Saying that we've been through a lot is an understatement of a lifetime. After everything that we had overcome, we were here, together and alive.
In the aftermath of all the devastation we had endured, I find myself fighting a new, yet different battle with the one person who came to save me because he loved me that much. This is the man that now fights me.
He's not the same man since my attack and I don't think that man will ever come back to me. He is becoming my worst nightmare, but I will not give up on us, no matter what he tries to do...
I want to hate her as much as I love her, and I'm willing to take from her 'till she has nothing left to give, 'till it ends up killing us both.
I push her away, but I keep pulling her back 'cause I don't know how to fucking let her go. I love her so much, it physically hurts. I can't look at her, I can't touch her and I can't even stand to fuck her. I can't give her anything anymore, and I hate myself for it.
I keep her here, knowing I don't deserve her, but I'm gonna keep hurting her. I know I'm gonna lose her and she's gonna hate me, but I'll be damned if I can let her be without me, no matter how bad this shit will get...
What do you do when you just can't find your way back from so much pain? You share it, and you will make it hurt.
18+ Due to dirty fucking language, hot sex, and a little bit of drugs and alcohol!

** Review of book one and two **
Lilly Cruz grew up in the MC life. She left after she felt betrayed by the boy she loved. She didn’t blame her father Low for having him put in the ground. He betrayed her family, he betrayed her and that gets you a bullet to the head. Her father has never blamed her for leaving and he has never asked her to come back until now. After the loss of her mother, her Dad needs her home. Packing up Lil finds herself back at the clubhouse among the men she loves the most. Walking into church she beams at the familiar faces, the men who helped raise her, the men who loved her and worshiped her mother Lucy. As she scans the room, blue eyes catch her line of sight. Needing to stand tall, she acts like the new addition doesn’t affect her but she has never laid eyes on anyone like him. Tank is his name ….
Tank has heard of her but sitting in church he never thought she would come strolling in and mold herself into his club president. Before this moment he has never needed anything but the club that he is VP of, his bike, and the occasional warm body in his bed for the time it takes to satisfy his needs …. The woman who just walked through those doors just changed his life.
These two books are one heck of a story. The Ride did carry on a little long for me which is why I gave it a 4 star rating. I did feel as if there should have been more detail to the chaos that was being built up throughout the pages concerning Draco and his crew. Unless I missed something I was interested in more detail of Lucy’s murder. What I really did love was that Jaci took the time to give great description of the characters we will continue to find running on the pages and further releases. I was able to make a list of who was who for easy reference if needed as the series continues. When you read as many books as Tracy and I do it’s a must!
I am very interested in a few family members stories including Gin and Stitch. I loved Lilly’s best friends, California (love the name) and Peaches. There is an amazing friendship there and another love story woven into the read between Peaches and Gin.
The “hard” MC story is rated PG. If you love MC but do NOT like the gruesome detail that some depict this series is a keeper for you. I would say there are no triggers in these reads either making this a perfect click.
Crash and Burn moves onto Lil and Tank’s hardships after the “incident.” This is a shorter read but necessary as it moves through AFTER …… (no spoilers). Frustrating as it was to read it was a brilliant move on Jaci’s part. Everything is not hunky-dory. That’s all Im saying … however by the end of book two your heart will be in one piece and you will leave with a smile.
Click these two books up and immerse yourself into the family. You wont regret it. Thank you Jaci for the chance to read and review. I'm moving on to the next two. I was thrilled to see all of the current releases and new one to come appear on my Kindle! Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.
