I listened to this on audio. The narrators were wonderful. I loved the way Honey Scarlett read all of Elena parts and Leeroy Will read all of Ashton’s parts no matter where they fell in the story. I was drawn in by this story and had a hard time turning it off at times.

Elena spends her days trying to please her husband. She never knows what kind mood he is going to be in and what type of punishment she will get. Elena things she is going on a date with her husband as a reward but soon finds out she is being traded to a stranger that her husband owes money to so it will clear a portion of his debt.

Ashton is determined to show Elena that she is so much better than she believes she is. He gives her opportunity to make her decisions and let her real self out. She is learning that she can open up and be herself.

This was dark at times with spousal abuse and with Ashton’s job but I so enjoyed the journey Elena went on to see her open up and grow was phenomenal. To watch Ashton help her was heartwarming. I so enjoyed Meeting Ashton’s family his dad, mom and his brother Miller. I cannot wait to see Miller find a woman that will turn his world inside out. He cracked me up when he would torment Ashton. I cannot wait to see him on the other side of that torment because I can so see Ashton dealing out payback.

There are wounds that never show on the body.

For twenty-nine years, Colbie Bennington does as expected with an eternal smile stained on her lips. The biggest chances she’s ever taken can be counted on one hand, three fingers to be exact—her battered red chucks, painting her toenails a vibrant blue, and her wedding dress. Always the dutiful daughter and a Stepford fiancée, she has never acted on impulse, never been in love.

She’s never lived.

On her wedding day, Colbie ends a toxic relationship, drops the fake smile, and says, “I can’t do this anymore.”

Navy SEAL Zander Serrano returns home broken and burdened with a volcano of remorse. Too trapped in a mental war to be at peace and too damaged to be at war, he shuts the world out. The last thing he expects is to feel, especially for a runaway bride with her own baggage.

Two empty hearts marred in different spots find themselves drawn to one another. Each with their own scars. Some, the world can see. Others, unseen to the naked eye.

They say two broken people should not be together. But for Colbie and Zander, their attraction is undeniable, unexpected.

Can two souls with fractured parts be the best cure for each other’s wounds?

Starting over is never easy, but sometimes in life, everyone needs somewhere to begin.

I read this as a part of the Ravage MC box set which I sat and read in a matter of a few days. Let me tell you once I started it I could not set it down. I would read until my eyes shut and it was the first thing I picked up in the morning. The suspense of what the club was going though and the stories of all the guys and their women had me turning these pages so fast.

Each of these stories had their own WOW factor in Ravage Me Harlow is a badass that not only talks a big talk but would back it up with her fists no matter who it was even a brother. She rides her own bike and knows how to ride it *wink wink*. Harlow was in prison for 2 years for something she did not do. Once out she returned home to find things had changed a bit since being gone. One of which was there were a few new members and she found herself face to face with one of them. Cruz was an alpha male to the core. No matter how tough Harlow was Cruz was the only one she would let subdue her. I so enjoyed the chemistry between Cruz and Harlow even if it was insta-love. To see how she fell into the rolls she was placed in so easily was heartwarming. She is fierce, strong, loving, and caring when it comes to those she loves.

The suspense in this book had me holding on by a thread and I could not turn the pages fast enough. This was fast paced and had a lot going on between Harlow and Cruz, the club and Harlow’s revenge. The women in this series are all strong, sassy, fighters and survivors. None of them back down or give up they are loyal to the club and their men. I was not only hooked on the stories between the couples but the suspense of the club issues had me turning these pages. I cannot wait for more of this series.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

This is my first CC Wood book. This is the story of how it all began. How vampires of the Bitten series came to be. I was drawn in from the start it was a quick read and I didn’t want to put it down. The love Aveta and Alaunus have for one another was amazing. They truly balanced one another out.

Aveta was the town outcast. Alaunus was being groomed to take over. Aveta and Alaunus were in love but his father promised his hand to another. Aveta saves Alaunus life after he is cursed but he is not the same when he returns. Even though things are looking up for them until an evil witch gets involved and they are torn apart again.

I enjoyed getting a glimpse at a few of CC Woods Bitten series characters. The ending had me sitting with my mouth hanging open and my heart breaking in two. I really want to know more about these two and this series.

A native Texan, C.C. grew up either reading or playing the piano. Years later, she’s still not grown up and doing the same things. Since the voices in her head never shut up, C.C. decided to share their crazy stories and started writing books.

Now that she has a baby girl at home, C.C.’s non-writing time is usually spent cleaning up poopy diapers or feeding the poop machine. Sometimes she teaches piano, cooks, or spends time bugging her hubby and two beagles.
