ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 12, 2019

Her. Me. Handcuffs. You think you know what we’re up to, don’t you?

I’m Archer.
I’ve been in trouble plenty but I got these bad boys from home.
Emily looks so good handcuffed to me.
This is the only way I could think to stop her.
She found out her mom was in danger and she ran away.
She wants to save her, but we’re at war.
Her brother, my best friend, told me I have to keep her safe.
He trusts me.
Unlike every woman I’ve ever met.
Maybe it’s because I don’t kiss. On the mouth anyway.
But Emily’s the only woman who’s ever stood up to me.
Her thighs keep grazing mine. Her long brown hair tickling my bicep.
Locking her to me and throwing away the key.
I didn’t think this through…

This really revs my engine.

REVIEW:HER HOT RIDE is the third instalment in Heather Van Fleet’s contemporary, adult RED DRAGON MC erotic, MC romance series focusing on the Red Dragon MC. This is Red Dragon MC vice president Archer Benedict, and middle school science teacher Emily Lincoln’s story line. HER HOT RIDE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory as it pertains to Emily, and her connection to the Red Dragon MC.

NOTE: HER HOT RIDE contains scenes of violence that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives ( Emily and Archer) HER HOT RIDE follows the acrimonious relationship between Red Dragon MC vice president Archer Benedict, and middle school science teacher Emily Lincoln. Emily Lincoln is the sister of Red Dragon member Niyol ‘Hawk’ Lattimore, and daughter of former Red Dragon gone rogue Charles Lattimore and Lisa Lincoln but Emily’s life is in danger, and the Red Dragon MC is reluctantly protecting Emily in the face of Charles and Lisa’s betrayal. Her only option is to escape but Emily finds herself on the run with club VP Archer Benedict, as she battles between head and heart hoping to rescue her mother from her father’s wrath. What ensues is the cross country journey and building relationship between Emily and Archer, and the potential fall-out as betrayal and lies threaten to destroy Emily and everyone she loves.

Archer Benedict doesn’t do relationships and struggles with his attraction to a woman who despises everything about the MC lifestyle but Emily Lincoln is considered an enemy and a threat since the disappearance and betrayal of her mother Lisa Lincoln. Emily has been blinded by her mother’s desperate attempts to bring together their dysfunctional family. Believing her mother is trapped in an abusive relationship, Emily makes it her mission to rescue a woman who doesn’t want to be rescued, at all. But for all intents and purposes, Emily is a little bit TSTL (too stupid to live) knowing she is placing herself and everyone in danger in an effort to rescue a woman who has betrayed everyone she knows.

The relationship between Archer and Emily is tempestuous and acerbic. Archer is constantly making digs and sexual innuendo yet battles his attraction to a woman who is hoping for something more. Emily knows that to get involved with a member of the Red Dragon’s MC mean her life will no longer be her own but life on the run with Archer Benedict has opened her eyes to the possibility of her own happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

We are reintroduced to Summer Parks, and Niyol ‘Hawk’ Lattimore (Her Wild Ride #1), Sebastian ‘Slade’ Lattimore, and tattoo artist Maya Davenport (Her Rough Ride #2); Lisa Lincoln and Charles ‘Pops’ Lattimore, as well as Red Dragon Members Flick, Chop, and the introduction of Angel and Anne.

The world building continues to focus on the dangerous and destructive life of the Red Dragon MC. Secrets and lies, betrayal and revenge are but a small part daily their daily struggles not including rivals MC, or threats from other sources.

HER HOT RIDE is a story of family and blood; betrayal and vengeance; acceptance and love. The character driven premise is raw and gritty; the characters are energetic and colorful; the romance is hot, spicy and heavy. HER HOT RIDE is an engaging and gripping look inside the lives of the Red Dragon MC.
