Blog Tour Stop: One Ride (Book One of the Hellions Ride Series) by Chelsea Camaron: Review and Excerpt

Blurb:

Delilah “Doll” Reklinger never imagined her life with anyone that wasn’t a Hellion. She never imagined there would be a Hellion that could prove himself worthy enough to her father, Roundman, Hellions Club President. Content in living in the bubble of safety the motorcycle club family has always provided, Doll never thought that danger surrounded her.

Roundman has kept the Hellions contained for the last thirty years by controlling the chaos surrounding their lifestyle. When the dangerous side to their business comes knocking on his door, he realizes his precious Doll isn’t safe. The Hellions code may be that women and children are off limits in any altercation or dispute, but that doesn’t mean their enemies follow that same moral compass.

His only child, now in danger from the association to him and his club, Roundman makes a decision. He sends her away with a charter club member that he trusts, in hopes that the trouble won’t follow.

One ride across the country. One simple ride. Talon “Tripp” Crews has been ordered to take Doll on one ride away and to keep her safe. She’s off limits. His head knows this, but his body can’t deny the attraction. She’s feisty, fierce, and fearless.

Constantly in close confines together, can they deny the chemistry? Will they give into the desire? Can one ride turn lust into love?

Review:

**Arc was provided in exchange for an honest review**

“One ride together. Go across the country and back. One ride to get her out of my system for good. One ride to keep her safe. Our one ride begins now.”

Delilah ‘Doll’ Reklinger is a MC Princess. Her position as daughter of the Haywood’s Hellions MC President makes her off-limits to any biker. Too bad that is the type of man Doll wants; it’s the type of man who will challenge her, keep her on her toes, and one she could truly be herself with no matter what.

When someone makes a threat on Doll’s life, her father sends her on a ride across the country with Talon (Tripp) Ward Crews. The man she just recently met at the Hellions’ barbeque who made her motor rev instantly. And, despite Tripp’s determination to keep Doll at a distance because he feels that he is not the type of man she needs, their electric connection pulls them together, but what happens when their ride ends?

The book does start off a bit slow, but once Doll and Tripp hit the road, the pace as well as the heat pick up significantly. Doll is a fabulous heroine. She is one badass bitch who refuses to take anything from anyone. At times, she may not know when to keep her mouth closed, but her feistiness is what helps her to maintain her sanity in this raw and gritty motorcycle life.

Tripp is epitome of a MC biker. He works hard and plays harder; he takes what he wants when he wants it. But, Tripp also holds a lot of his true self in because to show weakness in any aspect is a big risk in the kind of life he leads. On his ride with Doll, Trip is the ultimate protector. He takes his job seriously and will do whatever it takes to keep Doll safe, even from himself.

Doll and Tripp’s chemistry is off the charts, and readers can feel the sexual tension build as the push and pull of their relationship continues through much of their cross country ride. In the midst of all of the traveling and chaos that ensues, their love story is also being written, but how it will end is anyone’s guess in the gritty biker lifestyle.

Chelsea Camaron’s writing allows her readers to be a part Tripp and Doll’s ride. By writing in alternating points of view, we see both the hero’s and heroine’s views on what occurs as a member of a MC – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Ms. Camaron gives one hell of a look in to the motorcycle world, and I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2 for Sass and Tank.

Take a chance on this wild ride and hold on tight because you’re in for a crazy ass time with the Haywood’s Hellions MC.

4 poison apples!

Excerpt:

Tripp

The thoughts of having her like this for my lifetime brings warmth deep inside of me. Today, I bring her back to my house. Tonight, I will have her in my bed. Tomorrow, I return her to her world. Tomorrow, I say goodbye to my lifeline. Tomorrow, I say goodbye to my heart because when I leave, I leave it with her. As much as it’s going to suck, I’m going to leave her. It’s going to crush me, but I’m going to walk away. The other thing Pop’s always said, “Don’t give your woman unnecessary pain.” My life would be unnecessary pain for Doll.

I have all of today, tonight, and tomorrow’s ride to make sure Doll knows she’s my treasure. Starting in this moment, when I gently rub the back of my hand against her face. Knowing she’s asleep, I share what’s on my mind.

Whispering to her, “You’re everything, Doll. You’re the good in me. When the days get long, you’ll be what pulls me through. I’m gonna let you go, but I’m always gonna carry you with me.” I watch her breathing.

No longer able to contain myself, I move to kiss her forehead. Rolling her over, I kiss her cheek, then her neck. She’s waking up under me. I take my time trailing kisses over her neck and collar bone. She reaches up, running her fingers through my hair. Our eyes meet. The words are on the tip of my tongue, but unable to come out. I see the love this woman has for me in the depths of those piercing blue eyes. Does she see what I feel for her? Does she see the man behind the bike? Rather than speak the words, I spend my morning making love to her body. Taking in every second of this and committing it to my memory in a way to last me a lifetime.

Tomorrow, she’ll be home. Tomorrow, our ride will end. Tomorrow, I’ll be man enough to walk away. We’re in too deep. I never should’ve let this happen, emotions and entanglements are things I don’t do. Today, I’ll give her all of me. Today, I’ll take everything I can. Today, I’ll let my weakness for her consume me.

About the Author:

Chelsea Camaron was born and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina day dreaming.

Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice.

Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her ‘Love and Repair’ series and the ‘Hellions Ride’ motorcycle club series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in the works.

When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in. She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.
