Safe. Sweet. Real. vs. Dangerous. Rough. Second Best. The Club or Her Own Life.For Savannah (Sass), the difficult choice comes down to what’s best for her, and after Tank’s dismissal, she decides it’s time to put herself first and live a life outside of the Hellions’ Motorcycle Club. She may be used to the rough biker lifestyle, but she can’t be a part of it any longer, so she chooses to start a new life with a man who is the exact opposite of Tank, Nick Taggart.While Savannah is a town away starting over, Tank is struggling to come back to his family and his brotherhood. Sass’ voice lures him sporadically out of his vegetative state, but he can’t quite wake up until he realizes he needs to fight not only for himself but for the woman he plans to claim. When Tank finally does wake up, Savannah’s choices are wreaking havoc not only on herself but everyone who loves her, which makes Tank’s attempt to make up for his mistakes difficult, but if there’s one thing all MC readers know, it’s that nothing will get between a biker and the woman he wants not even her.I’m a big fan of Chelsea Camaron’s writing, but I have to admit - I had a hard time with Forever Ride. I liked it, but I didn’t love it. I didn’t really feel connected to the main characters because a lot of the story is told rather than shown. I understand the need to give Tank’s back story, and it did allow readers to truly understand his loyalty to the Hellions above all else, but a lot of the current situations are left without a lot of explanation. It’s hard to wrap by head around the Sass from Book 1 and the new stepford Savannah in Book 2. I needed more exploration of her transition. Yes, she wanted away from the club, away from the danger, away from being what she felt as a second class citizen, but she goes so far the other way that I needed more in order to understand her choices.  But just because I didn’t connect with it doesn’t mean other readers will not, and I will definitely pick up the next book in the series to catch up with the Hellions and their women.A complimentary copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.3 poison apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
