Marissa is shaken when her bad-assed biker ex-boyfriend begins to stalk her. After receiving an invitation to an exclusive resort called Eden, she jumps at the chance to get away.

But even in paradise, she can't escape the man from her past. As he's closing in on her, a passing stranger on a motorcycle pulls up and orders her onto his bike. Frightened and willing to take any chance to flee her dangerous ex, she does as he says.

Her knight in supple leather manages to lose her ex and take her to a secret hideaway, but now she finds herself overwhelmed by his potent masculinity and submitting completely to his authoritative commands.

Killer didn't want to be her saviour. He had problems of his own. But once Marissa's under his protection, he will do whatever he can to keep her safe. Even force her to face her deepest fears.

Bad Boy's Hell Yeah!

"If you love bad boy's with tattoo's and who drive a smoking hot bike, then you want to read Hot Ride by Opal Carew, part of the Riding Desire: Alpha Bad Boy Biker Boxed Set. Hot Ride start's out with the old saying about a stranger that walks into a bar and the woman who wants one night with him, but by the time you finish reading, you are rooting for them. Oh and if you love some hot, sweaty, steamy, need a cold shower books then this is for you. I haven't read the other stories, but I'm buying the set today, so I can read the rest of the books, because if the other's are as good as Hot Ride, I'll be needing more than one cold shower!!

Hot Ride by Opal Carew is a start of a new series and I can't wait until the next book in the series! Bikers are HOT and if having one hot man isn't melt-worthy, his friends just made me a puddle!

HOT RIDE by Opal Carew was just that, HOT!!

I love stories about people who are not happy with the direction their life is headed in and how they find a new direction. Adding a sexy biker to the mix is enough to ramp up the heat in this story!!

Wild Ride

Opal Carew

Rip sat at the tall bar table with Raven and Shock listening to Wild Card’s latest adventure when he felt someone jab his shoulder. His gaze shot around to a man, slightly swaying, standing behind him in the crowded bar.

Fuck, it is you. The guy’s nostrils flared. You are a fucking asshole, you know that? His words were slurred, and he was clearly inebriated.

Rip stood up. With his six five frame and broad shoulders he knew he made an intimidating figure. That along with his tattooed arms and black leather vest made most men cringe. He added a fierce scowl, hoping the whole picture would make the guy back off.

His antagonist’s gaze followed Rip’s face upward as he stood¸ and he seemed a little dumbfounded.

A woman clutched at the guy’s arm and tried to pull him back. Come on, Riley. Just leave it alone.

But the guy frowned and shook his head, then pulled up his shoulders. No, I can’t just let him get away with it.

Please, Riley. The woman tugged harder. He’s a criminal, she murmured under her breath, clearly hoping Rip wouldn’t hear her words. You’ll get yourself killed.

I don’t care. He glared at Rip. You ruined her life.

Who? Rip asked, a knot forming in his stomach.

The guy’s fists clenched at his side. Marissa. You bastard. You don’t even remember her name, or have you destroyed so many women you just can’t remember?

The woman pulled on his arm as she gazed at Rip in appeal, then shifted her focus to Raven, who sat on the stool beside him at the bar. Please, he’s had too much to drink. She shook her head. Please don’t hurt him.

The look of fear in her eyes shook Rip. He’d seen that look all too many times. It was one of the things he’d hated about being undercover as a one percenter. The gang he’d belonged to had been cruel and dangerous. Every time he saw that look, it ate at his soul.

He could feel Raven’s gaze on him from across the bar table. Raven, the woman of his dreams, who had just started riding with him a few weeks ago. Her real name was Hayley, but they’d given her the ride name Raven because of her glossy black hair.

What was she thinking? She was an accountant-turned-biker-chick. She’d had a wild time with him when they’d met at a wedding last month, but things had clicked and a one-night-stand had turned into a relationship Rip would do anything to make last.

But was she ready for this? Was she now thinking she had made a mistake?

Raven stood up and walked to the woman. In her tight jeans with the form-fitting black T-shirt with glittering skulls, she still managed to look classy, yet bad-ass and sexy all at the same time. The expression she turned on the woman was sympathetic.

Why don’t we just take him outside? Raven asked the woman.

The woman nodded thankfully, then Raven placed her hand on the guy’s arm. He snatched it away with a glower and Rip tensed. He’d let the guy’s drunken words pass, but if he laid a hand on Raven, Rip would tear the guy’s arm off.

Raven just stepped back, her hands raised. It’s okay. I think—

But before she could finish her sentence, a huge man, towering over Rip, approached.

Hey, guys. We don’t want no trouble. How ‘bout you take it outside?

Although Rip knew that he, Wild Card, and Shock could easily take the bouncer, and anyone else who tried to throw them out of here, he knew the guy was just doing his job.

It was about time to go meet Steele and the others at the tattoo studio anyway. Raven was thinking of getting her first tattoo and she wanted to watch Steele get his.

Rip and the others stood up. The bouncer took the drunk guy’s arm and guided him to the door while Rip and the others followed. Raven walked close to the woman and he could see they were talking.

Once outside, the woman took Riley’s arm and guided him away. She glanced back at Raven and sent her a smile.

You sure you don’t want us to come and watch you get your tattoo? Shock asked, a glitter of amusement in his eyes.

No way. I’m just watching Steele get his today and then I’m going to decide. If you guys come, you’ll try and talk me into it, Raven said.

Shock laughed as they walked toward their bikes. You can handle it. And you’ll look super sexy with ink.

Rip chuckled. "Hey, man, you might as well give it up. She’ll
