I was looking for a good second chance romance with a secret baby and this came highly recommended. Tyler and Sasha was bestfriend and lovers in the MC until one night Tyler's brother took everything from them. Sasha being a victim and afraid of being confronted, walked away from Tyler and her family (the MC). Three years later, her daughter need a bone marrow transplant and forced her to face her past demons. And for Tyler to find out what really happened. I enjoy reading the story, like the characters and how the MC members were being loyal to each other. Overall, I think it is a nice read.

Ravage
Untamed Sons MC, Book 1
By: Jessica Ames
Narrated by: Alex Bates, Evelyn Rose

Motorcycle Club books are a passion of mine. It's the feel of the family, whether blood or not, having each other's back and standing together. Ravage pulls it all together with this romantic suspense, giving us tragedy, feeling all the members coming together and having the one true love. Sasha is desperate. Her daughter is in need of a bone marrow transplant, and no matter what she has to do, she is determined to find a match, even if it means facing her past. Ravage and Sin, either could be the father and now she is depending on them to do what is right. Ravage knows his heart belongs to this woman, and finally takes the time to find the answers he seeks. But when he finds out the truth, he knows decisions have to be made and consequences given. This is a beautiful love story, with such tragic circumstances. It's brutal, yet all I could feel in the end was the love these two have and the enveloping feelings of the club. I enjoyed this first installment of the Untamed Sons series and with the lead up to the next book, I am anxiously awaiting it's release!

Alex Bates and Evelyn Rose become Ravage and Sasha. Talk about a huge array of emotions, these two portray each one, pull at the heart strings and make it seem real. I felt the pain, the frustration, the fury and the love so clearly. It's a great team and fantastic narration.

I flew through this book.  I love a good MC romance, and this one had my favorite found family trope highlighted well.  The second chance romance and single mom trope also played a big part in this book.  These two had an angsty high tension relationship that I lived for. 

What to expect:
Mc romance
Second chance
Enemies to lovers
Secret pregnancy
Found family

Wow this book started with a bang and ended with a big bang! There was so much anger, pain and intense emotion throughout Ravage that my heart hurt. I always love my MC romance with a touch of "real" and by that I mean the gritty and dirty sides of a 1% club. This book delivers that in spades.

In Ravage we get a betrayal so intense that the consequences have devastating effects. It creates a deep divide between lovers, brothers and "brothers". I had moments when I was hoping for some different results and maybe a little redemption. But, redemption can not always be found and in this case the only answer was justice. I loved every moment of reading this novel. Bravo you fearless author!

This was my first read by this author and the first MC series I read that wasn’t based in the U.S. which I didn’t know until I started since I didn’t read the blurb but it ended up being a pleasant surprise.

Within a few chapters I was pulled into this world the characters were swimming under a wave of chaos, regret, secrets, and unresolved issues of the past.

Ravage is the president of the Untamed Sons and he is absolutely perfect for that title. He’s willing to take out anyone who betrays him or his family and that wasn’t just a saying he lived by and breathed loyalty.

Sasha was a pillar of strength as she fought every demon in order to do what was best for her child even if it meant coming face to face with her nightmare. On the other side was her fear, vulnerability, the side of her that was on the verge of shattering as she came face to face with a mother's worst fear.


The chemistry between Sasha and Rav was palpable the moment they were face to face for the first time in years and under the anger and betrayal it was clear that they were meant to be.

I felt the author did an exceptional job relaying the raw intensity of the heavy subjects in this book. I’m really looking forward to reading more in this series and reading about the rest of the members in the Untamed Sons.

This was a gritty, emotional roller coaster of feels with a consuming storyline that will have you filling with rage one moment, shred your heart to pieces, secrets, betrayal, revenge, all while bringing hope, healing to the characters and to my shattered heart for the happily ever after Sasha, Tyler, and Lily deserved.
