Young love is always perfect. Until it's not.
Cheyenne Grady is a total daddy's girl to her bad-ass father, the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Forsaken Motorcycle Club. She's funny, and kind, and she just wants that deep, earth-shattering love like her dad has with her school secretary, Holly. But Cheyenne's been looking in the wrong direction, because the only good that can come from the way she looks at Jeremy Whelan is a lesson in heartbreak.
Jeremy always wanted to prospect for the Forsaken Motorcycle Club and wear the same patch as his father. When a life-long dream becomes reality, Jeremy realizes that the outlaw lifestyle is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it easy on relationships. He wants to be a good man, but temptation is everywhere.
Cheyenne is beautiful, and strong, and exactly what Jeremy could have forever. As long as he doesn't screw it up.
Love is never more powerful than the first time.
If you like motorcycle club books, you will like the Bayonet Scars series. Unlike other books you will want to start with the first book RIDE, THRASH and REV before you read CRUSH.
J.C. Emery did such a great job with connecting these books together. Crush is part of the story about Cheyenne aka Miss Priss to the club and Jeremy aka Baby Boy.
Cheyenne’s father is Grady Sergeant of Arms in the club. She is a teenager who skips class and will try to get away with what she can as long as she does not get caught. A new counselor takes an interest in her school life, which leads her into going to Cheyenne’s home to have her fatter sign some papers. Cheyenne is growing up, she hates being treated like a little girl, and her dad is trying to keep her. She is starting to like boy’s one in particular she is crushing on Jeremy. Growing up in the club she knows to get any information you have to sneak around and listen. Club business stays in the club but she is on a mission to find out information. This gets her into different messes she also learns things she does not want to know. She also learns the hard way sneaking around listening to conversations can put you in danger. Find out what information she learns that she ends up in the middle of one big dangerous problem.
Jeremy wants to prospect for the club so one day he can be Forsaken but he is too young. He does a huge thing for the club which helps him become the youngest prospect. He also grew up in the club with his father being a member of even as he sits in prison. His sister is the Old Lady to a member. Who teaches Jeremy how to be a real man he should be. Things are changing in his life so fast he is enjoying so of it and confused about the rest. He is crushing on Cheyenne also but relationships are not on his mind. He wants to be around her and acts like he does not when he is. She is mouthy and he can not let her disrespect him in front of the club. Finally they make the decision to be together. Is it too late with all the danger around the club, with her putting herself smack in the middle of the biggest problem the club has?
Cheyenne and Jeremy are a good couple; each one of them loves the other but is it enough for their relationship last when he has to let her go?
Crush is a great book, I am glad of had the privilege to read it and the first three before it. With everyone having their personal problems and still dealing with the clubs big problem you really have to live in the book, I spent the last week or so reading all these books. Not only do I recommend you read Crush, I recommend you read the whole series. That is my opinion.
My girl blushes before stumbling over her words as she asks, "Do you want kids?"
I stop breathing, stop moving-- even doing the pat-bounce-- and don't know what to say to that. Heard it from a couple of the brothers before. Don't ever mention marriage to a chick unless you're ready to have kids because that's all she can see in her future. Probably should have listened to that shit before opening my mouth.
"I want to be a mom," she says. Fuck. I still can't move and Robin's starting to scream again.
She's greedy with the pat-bounce, so I force myself to make my hand move. It barely calms her.
"Not now, but someday," she clarifies.
"Eh, why not," I say like it's no big deal. "I'll be a fucking pro at this shit by the time I'm thirty."
"Thirty is probably young enough to have kids," she says through a yawn. And I swear, my fucking heart starts beating again and I relax my arms around Robin. "Let me try again," she says and reaches for her. I hand her over, hoping Chey's better with her this time because that crying has got to fucking go. When she cradles Robin against her chest, she moves her around a bit before settling in and doing the pat-bounce. Robin is still crying but it's nothing like before.
"There you go," I say and smile at her.
"I can't believe my mom didn't stick around for this," she mumbles. She doesn't talk about her mom, but for some reason she is right now. I don't got shit to say because my mom didn't stick around either. It's not like I have anything encouraging to say. "Nic's probably going to remember every single thing about her daughter from her favorite color to her worst nightmare."
"Yeah, I give her shit, but Nic's like a fucking grizzly about the kid. She's a good mom."
"I'm glad Robin has that," she says and I agree.
"Me too," I say.
Ride :
Death comes in Armani. Salvation comes in leather.
Principessa to the Mancuso crime family, Alexandra knows a thing or two about living outside the bounds of the law. Suffocated by the future her father has laid out for her, she makes a choice she can't take back, changing the entire trajectory of her life.
Thrust into the dark and dangerous world of the Forsaken Motorcycle Club for her own protection, Alex finds herself faced with the last thing she needs right now: the man of her dreams. He’s sex in leather, the devil incarnate, and one hell of a kisser. But he’s also off-limits. Ryan Stone can be her friend, but he’s forbidden to be her lover.
Third-generation Forsaken, Ryan knows nothing other than life on two wheels, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He enjoys the many privileges that come with the patch, and the only laws he recognizes are the ones set-forth by his club. That is, until who he wants more than anything isn’t allowed on the back of his bike —or in his bed. Balancing his desire for her body, and need to keep her safe, Ryan tries to keep Alex at a distance. Finally having made a choice for herself, she’s done hearing the word “no” and will push boundaries even Ryan himself doesn’t dare cross.
Love is never more tempting than when it’s forbidden.
