Bound by Adoration was the twenty first book in Ryan Michele’s Ravage MC series; the twelfth in her Bound series. It was written the conclusion to the duet that started in Bound by Passion.

Bound by Passion was the introduction into the two main characters, Raid and Nyx. Raid is a second generation member of the Ravage MC and Nyx was running from a past. Bound by Adoration picked up exactly where Bound by Passion left off, with a twist. No spoilers so no elaboration, but the author provided the backstory for the new twist and then continued through the development and conclusion of the storyline. Fans of the Ravage MC will love it.

Oh my gracious, what a spectacular continuation to Bound By Passion! Love these characters and getting to know their backstories better. Raid, Nyx and Liam have so much baggage but they’re able to put it aside and come together and it makes a wonderful reading experience. Ryan Michele has always been one of my favorite authors, she just never lets me down and she definitely didn’t with this book. Love getting to visit with old friends and watch Rhys, my favorite, in action. He might be getting older but he definitely hasn’t slowed down. I also love to watch how Ravage takes out the “trash”…I might be a little bloodthirsty! Great story and perfect follow-up to another amazing book! Can’t wait to see who’s next!

I really liked this instalment in the ravage series. I love immersing myself into a series and this is one of my favourites. I especially liked the dynamic relationship between Raid, Nyx and Liam. Nyx storyline was one I wasn’t expecting but I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns.

4.5 ⭐️

It had been too long since I had read the first book in the duet, I thought I could start and remember as I went but that was not the case. I felt lost and recommend a reread of Bound by Passion if it has been more than a few months since you read it.

That being said, it was a great end to the duet! This book gives us answers to the many questions we developed during book 1 of the duet. The way that each of theirs pasts is interconnected in some way with Nyx knowing Liam from before and Liam and Raid knowing each other. It all comes together and seeing them all unpack their baggage was an emotional rollercoaster. I love revisiting the Ravage MC and getting some Rhys in my life was perfect. I can’t wait to see where the MC might go next.

[Shannon Godwin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow! Talk about having extra baggage? These three are loaded with it. It’s not my favorite book but it’s still a pretty decent story. I couldn’t remember the first part of this duet and it did cause me to stumble with reading it. It was nice seeing how everything worked out.

[Michele Del Rey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book and the two men that loved her. Well written and great chemistry.

[Tatenisha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nyx knew that seeing Liam meant that her life was going to take a drastic turn. She was so close to the edge that ending it was the answer. The two men in her life refuse to let that happen and they are determined to fix all her problems the Ravage way.

Bound by Adoration by Ryan Michelle was absolutely amazing. Raid, Nyx, and Liam oh my. Raid and Nyx are together now but Liam found Nyx and wants her back to help protect her but was shocked to see she was with Raid. Now her past and her present collide but will she be able to stay to keep them all safe? Bound by Adoration is absolutely amazing. Ryan did an amazing job writing there story and kept me hooked. I would have been done sooner but you know jobs and kids get in the way lol. But this book is amazing and Ryan hit it lit the park with these 3. Go one click now you will not be disappointed.

[Charlotte Isaac · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an amazing story. Ryan Michele did this book proud. I couldn't put book down once started.

We finally find out what happened in Bound by Passion. We get to know more about Nyx and Raid.

I can't wait for more.

[Jennifer English · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is part 2 of a duet, so make sure that you read Bound by Passion first or the story won't make much sense to you. Book one starts with Raid & Nyx and how they come to be together and it ends with what looks like an addition of a new character, Liam. But is he really?

With a few "flashbacks" we see that both Raid & Nyx have a history with Liam, even though he knew Nyx as Cami. Through the storyline of book 2 we see our couple become a throuple, though I believe it happened just a little too easily for our 2 MMC's, as they're both "mine, mine, mine" and then overnight they somehow agree to share.

Nyx, aka Cami, definitely had a bad home life but was able to escape with the help of Liam, though how that went down was lightly told. By a twist of fate he finds her one night, and he finds her with Raid, who is someone he has an even longer history with. A few other small twists of fate brings Ravage into the picture, to help Raid and by proxy Nyx. It was nice to see our other Ravage characters pop up, if even for just a few small scenes.

I feel like overall, compared to most of the Ravage books, this one was a little on the lighter side, as far as action goes. But it definitely had some spicier scenes. Who would think a MFM (or maybe MMF? Not sure which one, or both, works for this particular throuple) would work so well in an MC world? But with these 3, it just seems to fit and it does it quite well.

Raid and Nyx are working towards their HEA, but when Liam shows up in Sumner at Nyx's door, she's ready to hit the road and become a ghost again.

Raid and Liam have a history, they went to school together and were friends at one point, but Ravage MC and other extenuating circumstances led them to going their separate ways. Now that they are both in Sumner again and have their sites set on Nyx, can they overcome the past and put the troubles and hard feelings aside to protect Nyx and let her gain her freedom from her past?

Nyx's past is haunting and is what made her the strong independent woman that she has become. However, there was one man that she could count on and that helped her to grow into herself. Now he's at her door and it can only mean one thing. Her past is closing in. She's never shared her past with Raid and she isn't sure she wants to, but her love for him also prevents her running.

I have loved the Ravage MC since the beginning with Cruz and Princess. They have never disappointed me in the stories or the characters. Bound by Adoration was no exception. The suspense, danger, OTT protective nature of the men, and the strong, independent women in this series has always led to a great story. I love the characters and family of the Ravage MC. Bound by Adoration was a great conclusion to Raid, Nyx and Liam's story. I am hoping there will be more of the Ravage MC to come.

[Jennifer - You Can't Resista Dirty Book · Rating 5 out of 5]

I feel like I have said this before but heyho I will say it again, Ravage are back!!! After a really long wait that has felt like forever the Ravage MC next gen are back with the continuation of Raid and Nyx’s story. So if you haven’t read Bound by Passion (duet #1) I highly recommend that you do as the story will make no sense if you do not.
Once again Ryan has delivered on an enticing and engaging story packed full of drama. There is so much I want to say yet I can’t to say I would spoil and amazing story is just trite. You really need to get your teeth into this book to really understand, heck you need to read all of Ravage to understand. These boys are one of my favourite MC’s of all time.
Rain and Nyx have found something in each other that has tethered them together, but now her past has made a return. Standing at her door is none other than Liam, a blast from her past, but unbeknownst to Nyx he is also from Raid’s past too.
The boy’s inherent possessiveness and need to protect Nyx from what is coming for her drive the boys to deal with their own issues. What lays ahead is what Ravage MC do best protect their family.
Great character background history, lots of juicy bits and shamelessly smoking hot bikers, what more could you possibly want from a great MC romance. Enjoy📖🖤

Bound by Adoration is book twelve in the Ravage MC Bound series. This is part two of Raid's story. For a better reading experience I recommend starting the series from the beginning to get the full background on the main character(s) and supporting characters.

In part one we started off with Raid and Nyx but now part two adds a third main character, Liam. This is an MMF romance. Liam added a bit more drama to the mix. He's a good guy, but he had history with Nyx and Raid so of course things get a little messy.

Their story was some what entertaining with the drama and light angst. Unfortunately, I felt the story was rushed and missed a lot of plot and character development. Nyx was repetitive through the entire story. She said the same thing in every chapter it was exhausting.

There were some steamy scenes, minimal action and minimal violence. I felt the entire book was just glossed over. There wasn't a real climax and everything just seemed to wrap up so easily. We never actually get a head on confrontation with the bad guys. It was like all this build up for nothing. Their story lost its excitement to be honest. Nice to see Raid get his happily ever after though.

[Samantha (Millennial Life Crisis Bookshelf) · Rating 4 out of 5]

So excited for the return of the Ravage MC! Nyx finds that her life is in danger with Liam showing up to town and giving her the warning, and it throws everyone through a loop because they both know and have ties to Raid, who isn’t willing to let her walk away without a fight. Nyx and Liam met years ago and had a romance, but that all ended when she disappeared in order to keep him safe from the people who are after her. In a twist of fate, Liam and Raid know each other from their past where they had a relationship in secret. Everything changes for them when Liam won’t leave and still cares for Nyx, as does she, and Raid won’t let her leave, determined to fight for her safety and her love as well. As the three of them work together to take down the people after Nyx, they also realize that they all have feelings for each other and start to explore those and what things would look like together. The ending was slightly abrupt, where they take down the bad guys, yet we don’t have much background or information on why she was targeted and why they were so obsessed with her. I can’t wait for the next installment with the MC though!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is Book 12 in the Bound MC series and Book 21 in the Ravage MC series.
This story continues from Bound by Passion, and you really need to read it first so that you know why everything is happening in this book. This is a menage story so I’m warning you about that right up front so you can’t complain that you didn’t know. Of course, the beautiful cover should tell you that, too. I’m so glad to finally get the conclusion of Nyx, Raid and Liam’s story. It’s a doozy of a storyline, too. Liam comes from Nyx’s past and Raid is from her life now. They clash big time but they also have a background together since Liam grew up in Sumner before he moved to Atlanta. There’s a lot going on in this book, but it all works together. I really enjoyed meeting up with the crew of Ravage. They have always been great to watch as they take the trash out and they didn’t disappoint us here. I will say that I would never have thought about releasing a bunch of bugs and creepy crawlers in a building to get it cleared out, but it works. Now comes the wait for the next book.

[Wendy Hodges · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was so worth the wait, diving in I was very quickly caught right back up from where the last book ended, and honestly it's been a while since I read that. Passion, jealousy, angst and their pasts all play central roles, Nyx, Raid and Liam are connected but in different ways now they need to work together to keep her safe as her past threatens her now and future. Bound is appropriate for this story, I could almost feel the heat and sparks firing off the pages. Wonderful characters I already loved but definitely more so reading this. Gripping, suspenseful and exciting. Some action and lots of bonding, talking, listening and understanding. The club steps up and has their backs so we also get a bit of other characters which always appeals to me as I loved them first. I've followed Ravage from the beginning and won't ever stop. Ryan picked up from the cliff she left me on and took me on another rollercoaster of emotional turmoil and danger filled pages, everything i could possibly want in a book she gave me, holding me captive right until the HEA ending. Perfect...

If you have not read Bound by Passion you need to before you read Bound by Adoration.
Bound by Adoration takes us back to the beautiful Nyx, Raid, and Liam and their lives together. When Nyx past comes knocking at her door she has no other choice than to let it it. It was Liam the man that she loved and left. Liam is there to protect Nyx, but what he doesn't realize is walking into her door will bring his past with Raid back in full force. Raid and Liam have a past that will make you want more. Adding in Nyx these three will have to figure out what is more important. On top of all that trying to keep Nyx safe and alive. Nyx nightmares are knocking at the door and she has to do the one thing that she struggles with and that is trust both Raid and Nyx to keep her safe. Raid is not without his own demons and they are about to come to head as well. This story is about three people whose hearts are so big, but have a hard time coming together. Will everything work out or will the people after Nyx destroy it all?

Bound by Adoration by Ryan Michele 5 stars due 3/26/24
Liam, Nyx & Raid

One--her past. One--her present. Who will be her future?

If you do not read Bound by Passion, you will take a while into the book to catch up. Read it first!

She's been running and hiding. Has she finally found life with Raid and Ravage MC? Those thoughts ended when she opened the door to Liam. Her past. A love she never forgot but had to leave. He promised not to find her and put them both in danger. Why was he here? She'd have to leave again her new dreams destroyed.

Neither man was going to allow that. Each would protect her with their life--the new kicker--Ravage MC. But, there is even more. The men aren't new acquaintances. How will their past affect the three of them?

Ravage takes on the bad guys the law doesn't. The ones She is running from are the baddest. The rest you'll need to read. Surprises. Action. Steam. Amazing story and characters. Enjoy

***5 Stars***

The way Bound by Passion ended definitely had me NEEDING to know just how things would workout between Raid, Nyx and Liam and I was not disappointed. I loved how Nyx held her own with Raid and Liam, because those two are forces to be reckoned with and also how she was the catalyst for them to acknowledge their past, deal with their issues and work at having a possible future together. I loved the flow they all had and how everything worked out for them in the end.

There is a lot that happens in this baby, A LOT, there is Nyx’s past, Liam, Raid and Liam and well…just Ravage in general, so be ready to go from 0 to 100 in less than 10 seconds. There are triggers, but they are necessary to the story arc. While the main focus is on the three, there are some great moments with Ravage ~ especially with Ax ~ and I kinda love Screetch, so I hope we see more of him in the future…but now to wonder who the next book will be about…

[Phyllis Wolford · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the Ravage MC so much, from the first book to this current book. The characters all work well together and draws you into the story as if you know each of them personally. The MC shows what a family either by blood or loyalty really is.
Nyx,Raid, and Liam come together again and finally work out their personal problems and form a tight unit. When Nyx;s past finally catches up to her, it will take the men of Ravage to keep her safe and to take care of the threat.
Liam and Rais have known each other for years and use to be together, until Raid pushed Liam away, because he was afraid the club wouldn’t understand, her would his family. He was wrong on both counts and finally is going to claim what is his, which is Nyx and Liam.
They all have to learn to trust each other and to rely on each other. They finally learn to trust and the men protect Nyx for life.
They are together and the Ravage MC will do anything to protect their families, their city and the future.

4 star

I was pulled right into this story. The story has suspense, secrets, guilt, pain and heartbreak.

Before reading this story please read the below books first as this book is the next part of the story
Bound by Passion (Ravage MC #20): A Motorcycle Club Romance


This is more of Nyx and Raid’s story. Nyx wants to make sure her choices are not going to harm anyone. When someone from her past comes into her life she wonders what is going to happen now. She has to figure out where she goes from here and with whom. Can she protect the people she loves? Or will she lose them both to danger? Her past is about to come to light will she have the protection of not only one man but two? Will she have to choose which one she has forever or will she get to have both of them forever? Or will she make sure she loses everything?

I recommend this book and can’t wait for the next story from this author.

[Angels · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a great series. This current story had non-stop drama, suspense, emotions running high, men in love with the same person and so much more and twists you will not see coming.

The characters were fantastic we loved them all. The story is full of hot alpha men who are possessive protective and jealousy comes into play. The romance and sexy times were hot passionate fan worthy moments.

There is a lot at stake in this current story and a lot to lose and it's more than just your life. The men in this story need to come to terms with their pasts to move forward but, one thing is their willingness to give the women their lives to protect the ones they love.

Seeing some of the older characters grace the pages again was nice. We loved everything about this story what a page-turner where emotions run high. Awesome read!

[Lesley Robson · Rating 5 out of 5]

And just like that we are thrown back into the clutches of the Ravage MC, a place where I would happily be thrown. Continuing where we left off we find Raid and Nyx reeling from a visit off Liam. They both have history with Liam. There is trouble brewing that is why Liam is here and both Raid and Liam have this immense need to protect Nyx and each other.. They end up in a safe house and being confined there whilst they and the whole MC search for ways to end what is coming, that stories need to be told in order for all three of them to understand the tensions in the air… Oh my goodness this duet has had me on knots. The emotions on this rollercoaster are all over the place the chemistry well that is on another planet and the story itself… what can I say. It’s absolutely fantastic l… I absolutely loved it and it’s a welcome addition to the Ravage family .

[Kylee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bound by Adoration hits sky high on the steamy scale. The chemistry and tension that radiates between Raid, Liam and Nyx can be felt deep under your skin. As the drama and danger ramps up so do the complications between what was once a couple turns into more. Pasts will need to be divulged and feelings will need to be made clear. The angst level is high and had me on the edge of my seat and biting my nails at times. The protective nature that these three feel for each other right from the start even when tempers run high is awe inspiring. A story that took a left turn at the end of Bound by Passion and left us craving more, gives us so much than what we could have ever hoped for. This book takes us on a ride like no other.

[World Of Books 65 · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been eagerly anticipating this one and Ryan Michele did not disappoint me. After the way the previous book ended I so wanted to know the story with Liam, Nyx and Raid and oh my what a tale!

Their story is filled with darkness but also so much red hot chemistry, I'm surprised there was no steam coming off my kindle. I loved watching their relationship change and blossom into something so much more.

My only criticism is that i had nightmares about BUGS! so thanks for that lol

I can't wait to see what this talented author brings us next.

I was gifted a copy of this book by the Author and this is my honest opinion

Bound by Adoration😍

Bound by Adoration is the continuation of Nyx and Raid’s story and introduces Liam. After so long since the first book came out, I did a reread of the first book again😁 The story itself and the suspense in the beginning were spot on and even though I enjoyed the dynamics of the characters and the storyline, I’m a little disappointed that the “bad guys” got their comeuppance and how this unfolded😢 Perhaps I’m more bloodthirsty than I thought and I really wanted them to suffer🤔

Suffice to say a HEA that was well deserved after all they’d been through❣️I received an advanced copy and voluntarily leave my honest review❤️‍🩹

wow

Wow is an understatement! I could not get enough about this read! To say it was way worth the wait is an understatement! To say Nyx, Raid, Liam make an amazing love triangle, I was not sure Liam could come into book 2 and bring more to Nyx and Raid he is the perfect addition! We got hot steamy, love, mystery , all the amazing club shenanigans, we get to see all of the family of Ravage it was so good to see more. My only issue is I need so much more of these three they are so good to read and I’m read for book three! Great addition and I enjoyed every word! Great job Ryan!

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nyx and Raid have a strong connection between them, and a blast from the past brings Liam to her doorstep. Unbeknown to Nyx, Liam and Raid have a past as well. Both Liam and Raid are super possessive and determined to keep Nyx safe and protected.
This is a well written story which is an action packed, emotional roller coaster, with angst, loyalty, forced proximity, family, friendships, drama, humor, combustible chemistry, second chances, love triangle, suspense, danger, intrigue, tension, romance, and love, which leads to an entertaining, unpredictable, twisted, and steamy addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
