Loyalty, brotherhood, and protection are all learned, earned, and respected by him and the Ravage Motorcycle Club family he grew up in. At the same, he\u2019s a man, having fun and living the life he has always envisioned, until a trip to Florida changes everything.<\/p>\n<p>Bristyl Daniels knows what it means to be smothered and bound by family. Bonds run deep with her father and all the members of the Sinister Sons Motorcycle Club she has grown up in. But now she\u2019s all woman and wishes they would see she isn\u2019t a little girl anymore. Then one phone call gives her a chance meeting with a hunk of a man she can\u2019t get off her mind.<\/p>\n<p>When her favorite band comes to play at a motorcycle rally in her hometown, Bristyl decides it\u2019s worth the risk to sneak off for a little fun. When a situation gets heated, though, Cooper and the Ravage MC step in, setting off a chain of events, both good and bad in both their lives.<\/p>\n<p>As the dust settles, Bristyl will have to come to some very hard decisions. Meanwhile, Cooper knows exactly what he wants. To hell with the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>** <i>Bound by Family<\/i> (Ravage MC Bound Series #1) is a standalone full-length novel. You do not have to read the Ravage MC series to follow this book, but if you\u2019d like to see where it all started, you really should. **<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/excerpt.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6157\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/excerpt.png?resize=132%2C50\" alt=\"\" width=\"132\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excerpt<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bristyl<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holy hells bells. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m 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\u2019d have a fit either way, but damn. Maybe it\u2019s my mom smiling down on me, giving me a ray of sunshine through this mess. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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\u2019s how it is. What the hell, I\u2019ll enjoy the view while I can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I sop up the water and wring out the mop head, then repeat \u2026 again and again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ryker, who boldly introduced himself, is a player. Yep, seen hundreds of them in my day growing up in the club. Tattoos, sexy vibe \u2026 I bet he doesn\u2019t even have to ask women, just crooks his finger. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other man, who I\u2019m not sure his name, looks a little lighter in a way, but I\u2019m not sure how to describe it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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\u2019s 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\u2019s the hair. I can\u2019t call it light, and it\u2019s definitely not dark. It\u2019s a unique combination of the two; light browns intertwined with a few darker browns, giving his hair a shade I haven\u2019t 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\u2019d put money on it only amping up his sexiness. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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 \u2026 Be still my deprived heart. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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\u2019s underneath. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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\u2019s hiding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I shake my head and squeeze out the mop. It\u2019s been way too long since \u2026 Never mind. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"

was given a copy of the book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>EEP!!\u00a0 I was so excited for this book and mad oh man was it everything I hoped for\u2026it was sexy, and aggressive with tons of alpha yumminess too.<\/p>\n<p>Coop is Ravage.\u00a0 Ravage is Coop.\u00a0 When he sees, the beautiful laundromat work he is stunned stupid at how she can affect him with just her voice and then you look at her body\u2026gonner!!.\u00a0 However, she is an innocent in his way of the world so he walks away\u2026he is kicking himself for walking away but he walks away none the less.<\/p>\n<p>Bristyl is not Sinister MC Member but a fringe \u201cmember\u201d by association.\u00a0 She doesn\u2019t really see the good side for clubs for woman.\u00a0 She isn\u2019t into finding a club member to be an ol lady for and a club girl\u2026no thanks not for her.<\/p>\n<p>When Bristyl and her friend stumble into trouble who could have known what all would be at stake for her and Cooper.\u00a0 Late night phone calls and sneaking out for dates turns into love and then a fierce need for Coop to protect what is his when Bristyl\u2019s MC \u201cfamily\u201d throw out a new set of rules for her to live by.<\/p>\n<p>I totally loved this story and I felt just as betrayed as Bristyl for the decisions her family expected her to make.\u00a0 I loved Coop\u2019s family especially his mom\u2019s reaction to Bristyl.\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to get Deke\u2019s story and see his redemption.\u00a0 I felt a little bit bad for him but still there wasn\u2019t any reason to blame
