Forever Ride: The Hellions MC (The Hellions Ride #2)By: Chelsea Camaron4/5 starsThis is Sass & Tank’s book, whom we met in the first book of the series, One Ride. Tank & Sass have been friends and confidants for years. Until they give in to a night of temptation and the next morning Tank sends Sass packing like some barfly. This pisses her off to the extreme, and their friendship is strained as her and Doll are sent on the One Ride, to ensure their safety from the likes of Felix Delatorre. During the raid on Delatorre’s warehouse, four Hellions men are killed, two seriously injured and Tank is left in a coma.In this book, we learn how the raid at Delatorre’s warehouse went down and how Sass is trying to move on with her life. Sass visited Tank every day in the hospital before she went to work. While Tank showed no sign of change or improvement, his vitals would slightly change during the time when Sass would visit. After returning from the One Ride, Sass cultivated a relationship with Nick, the “preppy, pretty-boy in a suit.” He was always very caring and understanding towards her, but was getting tired of not being a priority in her life, a life that she kept telling him that she would be walking away from and which she no longer wanted.Sass felt very insecure in the Hellions lifestyle. From watching her parents, she knew that she didn’t want the worry that her mother had. Watching her mother worry if her father would be hurt or get busted by the authorities while on a run, or cheating on her with some barfly. And with Tank in a coma, from trouble that had come around because of club dealings, Sass didn’t believe herself to be strong enough to withstand the lifestyle.At Nick’s insistence, she begins to extract herself from the Hellions and the Hellions lifestyle, going so far as cutting off contact with everyone involved with the Hellions and her own parents. She also stopped visiting Tank in the hospital. The more she gave in, the more Nick demanded that she give. Sass felt obligated to do things that Nick wanted because she was making him a priority in her life and because he takes care of her. Though, you will get tired of hearing her excuse of, “It’s complicated” when it could easily become uncomplicated.Though this is a dual POV, for first part of the book, Tank is still in the coma, having flashbacks, some from childhood and some from not that far removed. He can hear what is going on around him and is able to recognize voices, but is unable to respond.The book takes place over several months to a year, so there is a lot that goes on. There seem to be 2 books that are set-up in this book, but we don’t know which one is coming next.
