He's sweet and caring towards the heroine , but he's also a dirty-mouthed, hot talking aggressive biker who likes to take charge. It's also semi-forbidden adding a touch of taboo. It ended on a cliff hanger. Not of a fan of that. Chrissy and Christopher aren't great characters. The author needs to axe them, particularly Christopher. Unlike some of the strange so-called "biker" books that have appeared featuring anything from Billionaire Biker I mean seriously - next he'll be at the Country Club , to Vampire Biker save it for Twilight puh-leez etc, this is more of the genuine thing.
None off that sweet not-quite-criminal, Liberal-Progressive-Nice-Guy type biker either. It's gritty, raw with all the nasty elements of the underground scene - and totally a guilty pleasure read. Phhhwwwwooorrr look at that face Raven hasn't had the best experience of biker men by watching her sister be a whore for practically the whole Death Dealer's MC, so the last thing she wants is to hook up with a biker. But Gage is different.
As president of the MC he has the reputation that would be expected, but there's something different about Raven, her sass and innocence, that makes him want to treat her differently. As much as he physically wants her, Fantastic work Alana!! As much as he physically wants her, he also understands that she's not 18 yet and also a virgin. He feels a strong protectiveness towards her and a need to do the right thing for once with a girl. Raven is nothing but confused about Gage.
She thinks he's sexy and they get along great, but he's made it clear he doesn't do relationships and she isn't sure she wants to just wait around for her birthday to have sex and that be it. Her neighbor, Chris, is in love with her and since she can't have Gage she starts seeing him. You can imagine how this goes over with Gage. Raven knows deep inside that it's Gage she wants but she cares deeply for Chris and doesn't want to hurt him. It's inevitable that he'll be hurt but she has to follow her heart if she wants to be happy, right?
But what about the secrets about the club that Gage keeps from her? What about her sister's hatred of her and her friendship with anyone from the club? If she found out anything was going on between Gage and Raven she would flip. The book ends with Raven and Gage being in danger due to club business I'm assuming and Raven is still a virgin.
I understand he's trying to be a good guy, but come on already!! The sexual tension was suffocating!! I can't wait for things to move forward with them in the next book! So I'm trying to catch up on my TBR pile and this is one of those books. However, now that I have finished it I've had to 1-click the next book in the series because this had a doozy of a cliff hanger which then means I have just added to my TBR. Such is the life of a book junkie! Anyhoo, this was the first in a four book series, which I knew from the start but I assumed each one would be about a different couple.
The first three books and a novella are about Gage and Raven though so that is just So I'm trying to catch up on my TBR pile and this is one of those books. The first three books and a novella are about Gage and Raven though so that is just a heads up from me. I haven't read an MC book for a while so it was good to step back into this sort of story.
Raven is under the guardianship of her older sister Lonnie. She is a bitch to live with and treats Raven like shite to put it mildly.
Don't Fear the Reaper
Raven is nothing like her sister and is only months away from turning 18 and will be able to move out, making a life for herself. When Gage meets Raven for the first time he is instantly attracted to her and will do anything to get her in his bed. However, once he realises she is still underage he backs off, well a little bit biding his time until he can have her.
Raven is not entirely on board with Gage's plans, firstly she has a really nice boyfriend who can offer her stability, and she really needs that. The fact that her sister wants Gage is another huge factor in her reluctance to even be friends with him. Gage is determined to wear her down but being associated with Gage in any way can attract danger and that is not what Raven wants in her life right now, she has enough going on. The draw she has to Gage is completely messing with her mind and most of all her body.
She has Gage in knots, he has never been a one woman guy but the fact that he is even considering it says a lot about what they are both feeling. And then there is this big cliffy If you're looking for a fairy tale, boy meets girl, insta-love, I only have eyes for you, break up due to a misunderstanding, work it out and get back together, live happily ever after, story - it's not this book. Yes, it's fiction but let's be real, that stuff only happens in books. That's not the type of story I want to tell.
Two things I go for - realism and simplicity. You shouldn't have to reach for a dictionary while reading my books or re-read a paragraph multiple times to understand it.

G If you're looking for a fairy tale, boy meets girl, insta-love, I only have eyes for you, break up due to a misunderstanding, work it out and get back together, live happily ever after, story - it's not this book. Gage and Raven aren't your typical couple. He's older and set in his ways, she's younger and has a lot of growing up to do. They both make mistakes and will do things you may not like but I go where the story takes me. View all 7 comments.
Everything We Know About A REAPER AT THE GATES So Far - Penguin Teen
This MC book had a lot of elements right off the bat that would make me dislike it. I initially shelved it as uninterested but since it went on sale for 99 cents, I decided to give it a try. Like I said, there were many turn-offs including cheating, insta-love and a whole lot of slut shaming. Granted, we are talking about rough, outlaw bikers who treat their groupies as commodities, so I wasn't expecting sweet talk but the misogyny that permeated almost every single line of dialogue, action, and This MC book had a lot of elements right off the bat that would make me dislike it.
See a Problem?
Granted, we are talking about rough, outlaw bikers who treat their groupies as commodities, so I wasn't expecting sweet talk but the misogyny that permeated almost every single line of dialogue, action, and motivation of the male character really made me dislike him. This 32 year old man has no problem referring to willing women as "cum buckets" yucky! What saved this book for me was the female character. I think the writer did a good job of creating an authentic voice for a teenager in her circumstances, the right mix of bravado and vulnerability.
Even her wishy washiness over which choice she should make, between the safe guy who loves her and the badass who spells nothing but trouble, was actually understandable. Her dialogue was cute and funny. Her feisty personality really came through. I cared about the character and what would happen to her. I did not like that the book ended on a lame cliffhanger with no resolution of the issues in the story. It was a good decision to wait til it was on sale to buy it because this is not a complete story. I will be interested in reading the next volume but only at the same price, and I don't know if I can overcome yet another cliffy.
I loved, loved, loved this book! The build-up between Raven and Gage is just too much. I can't even wait till the next book to see how this all plays out. Alana Sapphire is definitely on my list of "read all her books" I loved how she showed a true relationship and didn't give us a fantasy that's only plausible in books. Tempted can't come out soon enough for me! Umm where is the rest?? I want the next book.. Holy crap this book From the beginning i was pulled in. Raven is a spitfire who wont take no shit from Gage.
Gage has never been turned down by a female so when Raven basically puts him in his place he doesn't know what to do. Raven could care less if Gage is the president of the MC. She stands up for herself when it comes to him until he gets to close. As soon as Gage touches her shes putty in his hands. The chemistry between them is off the wal Umm where is the rest?? The chemistry between them is off the wall.
Shes the type who can make u smile one second and then want to strangle her the next and ask wtf. Oh man when it comes to the ending of this book You will be left wanting so much more. I do wish we got more back story on Raven and her sister since Raven is younger but acts and portrays herself as a very mature person. Maybe that will come in book 2 along with more of Gage's past.
Jun 07, Shannon The Romance Addict! I was cruising Amazon and I saw this book and thought I give it a go.
OMG i a so surprised I got really into it. Now it ends in a Cliffhanger I need the next book like yesterday. BTW, I wonder who's Janet? It's kinda Messed up how she treating him. One thing's for sure, he's going to have to work harder to get her to give him the time and day. Raven Alvarez is just ready to get the heck out of town and away from her evil, slutty sister, Lonnie! What she didn't expect was to catch the attention of the head honcho, Gage but she make Gage Hunter has always been able to get anything and anyone being the President of The Death Dealers MC.
What she didn't expect was to catch the attention of the head honcho, Gage but she makes it clear to him she wants nothing to do with him or anyone else in his club. Gage knows he can get women whenever he wants, but with Raven he's not going to let her go that easy Even though there was a lot of sexual tension between Gage and Raven, there was also a lot of feeling behind it.

Gage got to know as much of Raven as she allowed him to know. And Gage kind-of opened up to Raven, which changed the way she looked at him—and that equaled brownie points in my book, if you ask me. There is a cliffy and one that broke my heart… And so, on to book two, Tempted This book just really sucked me in finally a kickass heroine!!! With A back bone that! I loved every moment of this book from beginning to end!! Raven was sassy,sweet, caring and feisty and also smart I connected with her character and enjoyed her development from beginning to end! Her connection with Gage, was undeniable they have this spark I am intrigued to learn more about her!!

And then thier is sexy yummie hot as "sin" Gage, wow he is A badass biker and total alpha but I feel he is hiding something I cannot wait to find out more!!
This is A must read I cannot wait for more in the seris!!! This is the first book I have read by this author. I really enjoyed it. Although it was a quick read, the storyline flowed well and the characters were likable. Can't wait for the next book! Like this book he's very alpha just what I like NOW onto the next one. I always enjoy a good biker dude book I have read 2 of Alana's book so far Some how all these different authors pull it off and write similar but not totally the same does that make sense?
All these different authors, even though they are writing a similar all about a biker gang book subject t I always enjoy a good biker dude book All these different authors, even though they are writing a similar all about a biker gang book subject they some how turn them around and some how make them or take them some where unique or a twist-able bit!
I guess my fave character is Raven Latina beauty through and through. Must read if you are a biker gang book lover! This book is well written and sucks you in from the first page. Why the 2-star rating then? Just 2 reasons really. Firstly, the heroine is 17 years old, a minor, and the hero is I don't mind the age difference usually but I do when one party is underage.
One of the regrettable consequences of the heroine being 17 is that she brings with her all the drama of a teenager I just wanted to slap This book is well written and sucks you in from the first page. I just wanted to slap her after awhile!
And secondly, this is a cliffhanger. I wouldn't mind that except that the series is made up of books that are under pages. I hate that racket that some authors use!

For that reason alone, I'm not finishing the series. Gotta love when a book starts off with a great line. I really like Lonnie's sister! Raven is the new girl on the block, but wants nothing to do with the MC that Lonnie is a Hellhound for. What happens when she walks away from their President, Gage? Who are Chrissy and Chris? This is a setup with a very interesting and confusing set of rules and people doing different things. When Gage finds out about Raven's bruise and she tells him she walked into a door, what does he Gotta love when a book starts off with a great line.
When Gage finds out about Raven's bruise and she tells him she walked into a door, what does he immediately think? Now I need to acquire the next book in the series and see what happens. Nothing like a gun pointed in I think this is one of the best MC books i have read so far. I am not really a fan of these kind of books but once in a while i give one a try. And this one is the best so far , i think. It had me on my edge of my seat from the start. It has everything i love in books. It's funny , sexy , no sad part but that's okay. Not every story has to have a sad part. And this was just one book , there are more so..
I have work to do.. I started reading it and did not want to put it down until it was fi I think this is one of the best MC books i have read so far. I started reading it and did not want to put it down until it was finished , and that's when a book is really good. So 5stars from me.. And on to the next one Warning - must have 2nd and 3rd ready! This ends on a cliffhanger. I do feel like i was got. I got the 1st book free.
I went in not really knowing to much about the author story but I turned right around had have book 2 and 3. Quick Hot Steamy Read! Older sexy biker lusting over younger girl. Can he change his dirty ways? Aug 19, Jennifer Finn rated it liked it. It was boring as shit but I was determined to finish it even though pretty much nothing happens in the first book. Gage was hot but Raven annoyed the shit out of me. May 08, K. This was my first book by Alana and I can honestly say it will not be my last!! Raven is a 17 year old girl waiting for life Two strangers, who awaken in a room with no recollection of how they got there, soon discover they're pawns in a deadly game perpetrated by a notorious serial killer.
A detective and his team must rescue 8 people trapped in a factory by the twisted serial killer known as Jigsaw. Four young friends bound by a tragic accident are reunited when they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding maniac in their small seaside town. Jigsaw abducts a doctor in order to keep himself alive while he watches his new apprentice put an unlucky citizen named Jeff through a brutal test.
Six people find themselves trapped in the woods of West Virginia, hunted down by "cannibalistic mountain men grossly disfigured through generations of in-breeding. A suburban American family is being stalked by a group of psychotic people who live in the desert, far away from civilization. A year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a new killer, who targets the girl and her friends by using horror films as part of a deadly game.
Two years after the first series of murders, as Sydney acclimates to college life, someone donning the Ghostface costume begins a new string of killings. Alex is boarding his plane to France on a school trip, when he suddenly gets a premonition that the plane will explode. When Alex and a group of students are thrown off the plane, to their horror, the plane does in fact explode. Alex must now work out Death's plan, as each of the surviving students falls victim.
Whilst preventing the worst from happening, Alex must also dodge the FBI, which believes Alex caused the explosion. I finally decided to give the Final Destination movies a chance, I didn't want to see them when they were released because of the actors, just a bunch of Dawson Creek teen drama TV actors, and I figured the movie would probably suck or be a Scream rip off. But today I decided that maybe I should give these movies a chance, I heard from a couple people that they were pretty good. I apologize to the writers and director of Final Destination, because this was one of the better horror movies I have seen in a while.
Basically, Alex and his fellow students, including four teachers, are going on a field trip to Paris, but Alex has a horrifying nightmare of the plane crashing horribly and exploding killing everyone. Right before they take off, he screams and tells people to get off, but only 6 follow him, one of which is in a fight with him, one of which believes him, one of which who was late for the flight, one of which was a teacher comforting him, one of which was his best friend, and one of which is the girlfriend of the guy who is in a fight with Alex.
The plane explodes, killing everyone, thinking they're safe, Alex realizes that they were meant for death and it has a pattern, but it's a matter of playing Death! Final Destination is original and a terrifying story that brings up the interesting subject of fate and destiny and if you make it or things should happen naturally.
Not to mention the pretty cool death scenes that occur in this film is any horror fan's dream of watching. This is one of the better horror films of this generation and I'm looking forward to the next sequel. Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.
