Forever His Ride or Die: The Steel Disciples Dark MC Romance Series

by Tyranni Thomas

Everyone wanted her, but Crystal was off limits to the MC. She was a Biker Queen until Anthony’s accident robbed her of the claim.

Oak has had a thing for her since they were kids, but he doesn’t know much about the woman she’s grown into while he was away serving his country.

He doesn’t have a clue that she was only dancing to pay for a criminal justice degree, or that she’s a federal agent now.

They’re about to infiltrate each other’s worlds and put the Steel Disciples on a path that will change everyone’s lives.

Forever His Ride or Die is a Steamy Dark MC Romance novel with a massive Georgia-born, Protective, Alpha Hero, and his much smaller Badass Heroine. You can expect champagne room scenes, lots of southern charm, deadly secrets, found family, and an epic ride-or-die love story that straddles both sides of the law.

447 pages, Kindle Edition

Cat’s Stats
MMC/FMC- Oak and Crystal
POV- 1st person dual
Genre- MC Romance
Heat- 🌋☄️ (1🌋=2☄️). It got a little technical for my taste. Slow burn, but that fits with events.
Series? Y. Ends with cliffhanger. Couple gets a HFN with cliffhanger.
Safety: There are more triggers than a military armory. There’s a discussion about cheating, but MMC & FMC don’t cheat on each other. There is s. violence discussed and it’s problematic because MMC was an unknowing participant in an act of s. violence and that’s difficult to process. Other triggers include discussion of past abuse of more than one character, drug abuse, explicit erotic content, language, violent death and off page violence, character attempting the ultimate self harm.
Tropes- Friends to Lovers, Secret Crush, Military, Law Enforcement, Love After Loss, Stripper Heroine, Badsass Heroine (some review sites take an expanded view of what constitutes profanity), Protective Hero, Adorable Moppet, Found Family.

Cat’s Mew-sings
At times, this book was difficult to read because triggers. I normally hate romance between law enforcement and outlaws with the heat of a thousand suns, and I was not crazy about the law enforcement aspect of this novel and the betrayal that came from it. The best thing about the book was the character Oak. He’s tough, but sweet and protective and kind and handsome and sexy and goofy… plus he’s really good with kids. My ovaries sat up and took notes. Crystal, despite her penchant for betrayal (or what I see as betrayal) related to her would-be law enforcement career, was an interesting character because she was a badsass and tough at the core. It’s always good to see a FMC in control of her own sexuality. And the book was well written. I gave the book four stars because even during the parts I disliked or had issues with, it provoked my feelings, and that is the sign of a good book.
About the cover- I hate it. The cover model is made to look like a p rnographic Ken doll. He doesn’t look like an actual living human and if his pants were cut any lower, we’d be able to tell his religion.

This appears to overlap timewise with the previous two books, which I did not read. I think I would have benefited from reading them, but had no issue following the story without them. There is not smooth going for anyone in this book. Crystal hiding her job as law enforcement from everyone who cares about her makes life harder for her. Oakland has been totally in love with her for most of his life. She takes care of her husband, her son, and her sister. She is such a good mom. Eric/Easy is pretty awful to her even though she is his sister-in-law for a long time and we don’t find out why until 2/3 of the way through the story. Anthony was not even close to a good guy. We get very little of him as a husband or father, but most of the things we are told about him leave a lot to be desired, like the truth of the Kelli situation. Oak is a very good guy. He adores Crystal and Blaze. Blaze is such a sweet little guy. I am glad most of the concentration is on the three of them. They are there for each other through their losses. A big secret is revealed and it is pretty bad. Kind of a cliffhanger ending.

I’m loving this series! Tyranni Thomas does not hold back on anything: action, twist, ott sex, and the WHOLE thing! I’m exhausted after reading, but so sad I finished. Crystal and Oak are so good together: she’s pint sized but bigger than life and he’s a giant among men. There’s heartbreaking loss, cruelty, and too many complications for this to be an easy story.

Tyranni uses multiple POVs to get the entire picture. The Steel Disciples are a huge family with their hands in the typical activities. Crystal and Oak have their hands full navigating a relationship, her son, the club, and her law enforcement career. Oh lord! Crystal makes her life so much harder! I love this story, the characters, and revenge!.

This is the third book in this series, and this is Oak and Crystal’s journey.
Oak has loved Crystal since they were kids, and she became the MC’s queen and off limits, when she married a member. Now Oak is an ex-marine, and Crystal was a dancer to pay her way through getting a criminal justice degree, and she is now an FBI agent. Now Oak is back and his feeling for Crystal are undeniable, will they get a chance to be together?
This is a well written dark, raw, gritty, action packed, and emotional roller coaster, with loss, secrets, found family, drama, loyalty, and love, which leads to an entertaining, and steamy captivating page turner.

Wow, this was a second chance romance that holds not punches and takes your heart on a ride that was hard to recover from.

Oak had feeling for Crystal when they grew up together. But as they grew up their paths took different directions. She got involve with the MC and he went to the military. Not he is back, she is a widower and in law enforcement, he has found his place with the MC.

Their connection shatter my heart and put it back in a new way that wrapped around me. Great story.

This is a well written book with strong characters in Oak and Crystal. The author takes you into their lives with a ton of emotions and love and kept me reading with all the action, danger, intrigue and secrets. She brings the story to life with her descriptive scenes and delivers a terrific read.

Wow!
This book…
Well, I am at a loss for words…
Crystal and Oak’s story is enthralling, captivating, thrilling… you name it.
It’s fast-paced with no time to catch one’s breath in between. It’s hot…. so hot….

And the characters… utterly comprehensible, rough around the edge, kind of broken, bad a§§… and so in denial about their feelings for each other…

I L.O.V.E.D this book!.

Wow this book has the steam and everything else. Crystal was with a man who was part of a MC club who owned a strip club where she danced so that she could get her law degree. When her man gets killed Oak knows it is time to take what he wants and that has been Crystal since they were kids. Great book and loved both Crystal and Oak.

Forever His Ride Or Die is Crystal and Oak's story. It's a fantastic, emotional story that you can't help but get caught up in. There's plenty of secrets, surprises, action and danger that keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Each journey I take with this author gets better and better.

Wow!!

For me this was another fantastic dark and dirty MC book in the Steel Disciples MC series. Oak and Crystal’s book was non stop goodness in the darkest way possible. This author put together yet again a great storyline throwing in so much action, secrets and drama making this a book I couldn’t put down.

I recommend not only this book but the others in this series.

First time reading anything from this author and overall I enjoyed it. My only real bug bear was the open endedness of the ending, which leads to the next in the series. As characters I'd happily take him as my man, outlaw and all.
