Camaron gives her readers a fun ride in this entertaining MC story that revolves around Doll and Tank. Doll is the daughter of Roundman, the Hellions MC president, and is an indulged, mouthy, MC princess who happens to love the MC lifestyle and all that it entails. Tank is made responsible for Doll on a long ride to get her away from the dangers that are surfacing around the Hellions that will quickly become violent. During the ride Doll and Tank become close quickly however both the MC lifestyle and their individual personalities constantly get in the way of Doll and Tank coming together in the way that Doll wants. Doll knows that nothing less than a biker will do as her happily ever after. I love that Doll loves the life of the MC with all of it's benefits and flaws. She doesn't make excuses for the things that aren't so great, she just accepts the lifestyle and embraces it fully, even when it comes with some heartache. Tank on the other hand doesn't do happily ever after and consistently tries to drive that point home to her. All Tank is willing to offer is protection, a good time, and great sex.The relationship between Sass and Tank, best friends to Doll and Tank, although secondary is just as interesting without in anyway infringing on the main story. I also look forward to seeing the possibilities between Caroline and Rex, more friends of Doll and Tank, but it looks like I have to wait until book 4 Innocent Ride to get that one. Camaron has done a great job of building interest in the world of the Hellions. There's the requisite roughness and chauvinism exhibited by the male characters, but I don't think that you could have a realistic MC book without that. The lifestyle simply is what it is and you either like or you don't. I have to say that I'm liking it. I like that Doll and Sass both have spirit and a sense of independence while also having the good sense to shut up and stay out of the way when necessary. I don't like it when female characters are written to have more bravado and attitude than good sense. Doll and Sass are realistic women who come from the same world, but end up wanting different things. Their friendship is a good one and I was happy to see it play out the way that it does.One Ride is a biker story that is more than biker babes, illegal dealings, shoot outs, and crazy hot bikers with attitudes that deliver hot sex. Don't get me wrong there's a bit of that here, but ultimately there's a good story that will keep you entertained from beginning to end.You can find more from me at Monlatable Book Reviews
