ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 2, 2019

My name was Sebastian. But now they call me Slade. I’ve reinvented myself, become a man, been sworn into the Red Dragon MC. I’ve got tattooed and ripped to hell, I’ve cut my hair and my face now bears the scars of all the fights I’ve seen. The last thing I need is to face her again…

It’s been eight years since Maya ran away from the club. Sweet, beautiful Maya. My first love.

Why do I have to ride halfway across the country to pick her up? Because the club is at war, she’s the niece of our President and I’m the only brother who can be trusted to protect her.

She broke my heart, but I still want her. Do I ever. This woman is my goddess. She’s also my curse.

I need to focus on getting her home. But as soon as our eyes lock, she’s looking at me all kinds of ways. Like I’m the sexiest, most perfect stranger she’s ever seen.

And then I realise, I look completely different to the boy she once knew and she doesn’t even recognise me. I could tell her who I am. Or I could have a little fun with her first…

REVIEW: HER ROUGH RIDE is the second instalment in Heather Van Fleet’s contemporary, adult RED DRAGON MC erotic, MC romance series. This is twenty-seven year old, Red Dragon MC road captain Sebastian ‘Slade’ Lattimore, and tattoo artist Maya Davenport’s story line. HER ROUGH RIDE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Slade and Maya) HER ROUGH RIDE follows the rekindling romance and relationship between Red Dragon MC road captain Sebastian ‘Slade’ Lattimore, and tattoo artist Maya Davenport. Eight years earlier Maya Davenport’s world exploded when she found the boy/man that she loved with someone else. Heading to California, Maya would move on with her life, a life without the man who destroyed her heart. Fast forward to present day wherein, for her own protection, Maya is ordered home by her uncle, Red Dragon MC vice-president Flick, a well-timed order in the face of Maya’s lack of employment and a place to live. Sent to retrieve Flick’s wayward niece, Sebastian ‘Slade’ Lattimore finds himself facing the woman who broke his heart, a woman he hasn’t stopped loving for close to eight years. What ensues is the rekindling friendship and relationship between Maya and Slade, and the potential fall-out as Maya’s past is determined to destroy everything and more.

Maya Davenport doesn’t recognize the man sent to take her home. Familiar yet not, Maya struggles with her attraction to a man who is all kinds of grumpy, a man who had once stolen her heart. Slade Lattimore didn’t want his latest assignment-babysitting and escorting home the woman that broke his heart. Battling between head and heart Slade and Maya will soon come under fire as they struggle to make it home in the wake of a snow storm that leaves them stranded for days, targeted by someone from Maya’s past.

The relationship between Maya and Slade is one of second chances; a rekindling romance that was destroyed by betrayal and misunderstanding; broken hearts, secrets and lies. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to club VP Flick, club member Archer, Hawk and Summer (Her Wild Ride #1), Maya’s mother June, as well as several more members of the Red Dragons MC. The requisite evil has many faces.

HER ROUGH RIDE is a story of family, friendships, betrayal and revenge. The premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive and hot; the characters are colorful and energetic. HER ROUGH RIDE is an impassioned, suspense-filled and edgy story line.
