Vipers Creed MC # 1

Genre: MC Romance
I get what’s mine.
As the gun lay heavily in his hand, the weight of it was nothing compared to the pressure his father had put on him and the club year after year, dragging them all down in the process.
Cade had two choices: the club or his father.
The club won.
Cade Baker sacrificed everything for the Vipers Creed Motorcycle Club, bringing the club back to what it was supposed to be—a family—even when it meant taking out his own father.
It took a particular kind of man to kill his blood, but Cade had always believed in doing what was right for the club. To him, it was a small sacrifice to make things normal for him and his brothers. Then, when Trixie strode into his club, full of demanding attitude, his normal was shot straight to hell.
He vowed to have Trixie.
No matter the cost.
Nobody steals from me
Trix Lamasters was nobody’s fool. Raised by a con man, she lived by her own set of rules. Mainly, take care of herself first because no one else was going to do it.
When an employee stole from her, she could have let it go. She could have let the thief fade into the background and chalk up the missing cash as a loss. She was Trix, after all—she always landed on her feet. But that wasn’t her style. She was too stubborn, too damn proud. No one stole from her and lived to tell about it.
With pride, though, came consequences, and Cade Baker was hers.
Trix gave something to Cade when she was a girl, something sacred. And she could never get it back. She had loved and trusted him, and he had left her.
Now he was making her crazy … because he wanted her.
And hell, she wanted him, too.
But how is she supposed to trust the man who broke every single one of her rules, not to mention, her heart?

I have always loved reading a gritty, hot, and sexy motorcycle club book. I enjoy when the men are rough, bad talking, and as I like to call them… super alpha’s. Cade (AKA Spook) is a super alpha and always gets what he wants. Trixie is the owner of the strip club, Sirens, and also an ex-girlfriend of Cade’s from high school. She suddenly reappears in his clubhouse looking for a stripper that owes her money. Spook sees this as a sign and will not let Trixie leave without her agreeing to his conditions.
I love Spook and how he goes after Trix no matter the consequences. He owns up to the events that happened in the past, which Trix was not aware of. He is very protective of her and is my new book boyfriend! I can’t tell you enough how much I love all the characters as well as the storyline. There was drama, suspense, hot steamy scenes, and some surprising events. I absolutely recommend Challenged, the first book in the Vipers Creed MC series, by Ryan Michele.
I can’t WAIT to read book # 2, Conquering, which is Stiff’s book!
Conquering
Vipers Creed MC # 2
By Ryan Michele
Release Date: June 28th, 2016
Genre: MC Romance
*This book can be read as a STANDALONE*
I fight for what’s mine.
Growing up with a junkie for a mother, Stiff’s responsibilities came young and fast, taking care of his brother with everything he had. If that meant getting his hands dirty, then so be it.
Becoming part of Vipers Creed MC gave him the family he and his brother never had, people they could count on. He vowed to protect them, even when that meant turning his back on the woman who gave him life … until Chelsea.
He knew he wasn’t good enough for her, but he didn’t care. He had to have her.
After all, Stiff always fought for what was his. No matter the price.
No one messes with my family.
Chelsea Miller’s life was simple: work, family, save for the future. Every day was the same. Her ultimate goal: live an easier life than the one she’d been dealt. That was, until her sister ended up bleeding, bruised, and fighting for her life.
Everything in Chelsea’s life changed in an instant. And the cost of protecting her family was far higher than she had bargained for.
Stiff. The Vipers Creed MC. A relentless trail of bullets and carnage. Everything she knew turned on its head.
Survival of the fittest, they say. Well, Chelsea’s a survivor. And she refuses to go down without a fight.
When two stubborn people clash in a combustion of passion and family, will conquering each other come at a price neither of them is willing to pay?

Conquering is the second book in the Vipers Creed MC series by Ryan Michele. I absolutely loved the first book in this series, Challenged, and was super excited to begin this one. Sometimes, the second book in a series falls flat when you have been looking forward to it, but Conquering is as incredibly awesome as the first book.
Conquering tells the story of Chelsea, who is a hardworking waitress always worrying and helping her family. Her father is an immoral man who hasn’t been around in years. Stiff is a hardworking man who has done everything he could to help raise his brother, Xander, who has recently come home from the war. Chelsea and Stiff have always had eyes for each other, but Stiff finally steps up when Jenn, Chelsea’s sister becomes hurt. Their attraction ignites and becomes so hot and sexy. The plot is great with just the right amount of drama, suspense, and passion.
Conquering is roughly 75 % of the book and then Ryan Michele offers us a treat by including Courageous, which is Xander and Gabby’s story. I have to be honest that I was not sure how I felt about Xander. I thought he was a good clean cut type of guy, which is great…but not my particular ideal book boyfriend. I can honestly say that Xander surprised me and I adore him just as much as the others.
Ryan Michele found her passion in making fictional characters come to life. She loves being in an imaginative world where anything is possible and has a knack for special twists readers don’t see coming.
She writes MC, Contemporary, Erotic, Paranormal, New Adult, Inspirational, and many more romances. And whether it’s bikers, wolf shifters, mafia, or beyond, Ryan spends her time making sure her heroes are strong and her heroines match them at every turn.
When she isn’t writing, Ryan is a mom and wife living in rural Illinois and reading by her pond in the warm sun.
