Riggs
Serving my country is my past; my club is my family. As the Road Demons secretary, I’m in deep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have a reputation with the ladies, one that’s never bothered me before. Getting attached is a complication. I kick them out of my bed the minute I’ve had my fun. Then she walks into the gym, and I know I’m in trouble. Salem is sex on two legs with an attitude to match my own. I try to fight against the pull I feel towards her, but damn, the woman is my perfect match.

Salem
Starting over after losing everything isn’t easy. My shop is my number one priority. Making friends with a biker’s ol’ lady was just what I needed to help pull in customers. Having an instant connection with the club’s playboy was not what I was expecting. I didn’t leave one arrogant man just to fall for another. But here’s the thing about me, I like to be in control. Good thing Riggs seems to like that too.

When the past collides with the present, something’s got to give. Can Salem and Riggs both overcome their inner demons?

I had mixed feelings going into this one. I was excited for Salem because she seemed totally kickass in Cypher’s book (I read them out of order), but Riggs was described as a MEGA manwhore in the first book, and I wasn’t sure how that would shake out. BUT I LOVE crazy OW club girl drama, and Riggsy’s main squeeze Baby Doll sounded like a psycho, and I was all up for that!

Salem and Riggs have an instant lust at first sight attraction, but they have a rough start. Mostly because Salem doesn’t really take any shit. She’s also not looking for a relationship and is good with hookups, but she won’t be disrespected. And I LOVED that about her. Riggs is really confused in the beginning because he wants Salem so badly, but it takes him a minute to realize what he feels is different, so he screws things up a bit, and with some misunderstandings, they take a while to get it together.

Bottom Line- Riggs was probably the worst in terms of getting his shit together, but IMO Salem is the best h of the series. She’s tough, she demands respect, she isn’t afraid to push back and walk away. But she also wasn’t too proud to be vulnerable when Riggs put it all out there so they could be together. Basically, if safety is a concern this one will probably piss you off the most, but I found it the most enjoyable.

Rigg's and Salem

Rigg's is usually a playboy, that is until he meets tattoo artist Salem. Of course there's several misunderstandings and a crazy ex but there is a HEA. Only question is what happened to the ex Titan?

This series just keeps getting better. I love a strong woman who makes no excuses for her strength. I love a man who can handle a strong woman even more. Riggs and Salem were perfection! Property of Salem .... best ink ever.

Really enjoyed

I really enjoyed this book. I’m normally not a fan of OW drama but T.L. writes it very well. This book was scorching hot, lots of action and masses of drama. Enjoying this MC series.

3.5 stars. Slightly better than the first one, but honestly I wasn't meshing with the characters from this book to be honest. The FMC here was changing her mind every 5 minutes. The H was an ass, but I didn't mind him. He's nicknamed the man whore of the club. The h here was really eager, and I really don't go for FMCs like that in MC books, but it worked out fine. Salem ended up with a marriage proposal in the end. Better than Jenna from the first book. There's some violence and they're about to go to war with another club

For the SAFETY gang: none of these books will be safe so I'm just putting that out there now. The H Riggs makes plans to see Salem after she gets off work, but dumb dumb decides he wants to get laid by a sweet butt named Dolly before hand. Yeah, he's pathetic. He ends up not being able to go through with it and loses his erection. They walk out of the room together both shirtless and him with his pants undone. Of course Salem got off early and decided to meet him at the clubhouse instead. She at least wasn't weak. Though these sweet butts really need some comeuppance and they're not being dealt with the way I like. 🙈Riggs has some PTSD from war and commitment issues after losing his gf Brooke. He wasn't at all hung up over Brooke and told Salem as much. He was never in love with her. Honestly Riggs turned into a big ol sap in the end.

Playboy Riggs and Salem

I'm really enjoying this series so far. In the first book, we met Riggs as well as the rest of his MC brothers. And he was without a doubt the Playboy of the bunch. He has been the " love them and leave them" type for as long as he can remember. He only ever had one serious relationship, and after that, he swore never to let anyone into his heart again. But then he meets Jenna's new friend Salem, a beautiful, sassy, sexy tattoo artist who just moved to their town to open her new tattoo parlor, and the attraction is instant. Salem feels their connection and is determined to keep Riggs far away because she's recently been hurt by the man she was in love with and is not looking forward to anymore heartbreak. They try hard to fight the pull between them, but they quickly realize that's not going to happen. Then, they also have to deal with the threat of another MC trying to move in on Road Demons territory. They do, however, get their HEA, and I can't wait to see what happens next with Ryder and Mia as well as with the rest of the brothers. Definitely recommend this book and the rest of the series.

Damn!!! These Road Demons Men!! I mean where does one even start.....

Club Secretary and Notorious Playboy Riggs never in his wildest dreams thought he would settle down and claim a single woman. Until Salem the gorgeous tattoo artist blows into his world and brings him to his knees. She gets inside his head, under his skin, and his him feeling things he hasn't felt in a very long time.
The chemistry between these two is pure FIRE! And their journey to a HEA and Ol'Lady status is bumpy. It's riddled with action, steam, suspense, angst, and as per usual some club girl drama that will make you stabby.
The Secondary characters I love and have my laughing out loud at times, and the continuing storylines have my hooked and desperate for more. Specially after the little ending that broke my poor heart!! I need Book 3 like ASAP!
These Alpha Men will frustrate you at times, but you will love them and enjoy watching them be brought to their knees by some serious sassy women.

That was intense!

I’m so glad my friend Jojo mentioned the first book on Facebook. Yes, I know this is the second book but if she hadn’t raved about the first one I’d have never read it find out how much I loved it and I’d never have bought this one.

I am absolutely loving this “new to me” author. There’s minimal mistakes, the writing is smooth and she sucks you in from the very first page.

Salem and Riggs were the perfect combination and I loved the development of their story. Twists and turns, scrapes and fears, lots of action too. It has it all.

What a rollercoaster ride this one was! I wasn’t sure if they’d make it through it all…

Highly recommend this series and cannot wait for more!! I am so thankful to my friend for recommending it to me.

Salem Clark recently moved after a disaster of a relationship and opened her tattoo parlor. Befriending one of the Ol Lady's at Road Demons MC was an unexpected bonus, when she catches the eye of Riggs, a member of the MC who is a major player she shrugs it off but when she is threatened, she finds that it is Riggs who steps up and becomes a force to be reckoned with.

Riggs is not a man who does commitment. Salem is too irresistible to pass by. Riggs wants her, Salem lets him know she is not interested. Can the player mend his ways to have the woman he feels has his heart and future?

Wonderful, definitely reading more of this exciting series. I really liked Salem, she is a kick butt heroine. Full of twists and turns, had me guessing until the end.

Well my book slump is finally over and I'm in love all over again!! I dont know why I waited so long to read it. 🤦‍♀️
Riggs has all the emotion and then some.
The twisted gut feeling, the happy butterfly feeling and the sultry sexy feelings all in one.
I found myself immersed in this family once again.
I really enjoy the concept that no matter what kind of person you were in the past the right person can ground you and accept you as you are.
Big scary brooding playboy biker and sexy, guarded, strong badass tattoo artist define the odds and find love in each other when neither though they were capable.
So good.
Cant wait for Mia and Ryder!!

WOW! Riggs is book 2 in the Road Demons MC series and it does not disappoint! Great story that flows effortlessly from scene to scene. Riggs is the club secretary and definitely a growly alpha. Salem is a tattoo artist starting over. The chemistry between these two is explosive! Secondary characters are a perfect balance and never take away from the main story, but definitely makes you want to know more about them. If you love alpha men and women who bring them to there knees then check out this series. It has everything you want and more.

This book had me running an emotional gauntlet from start to finish. I found Riggs to be an arrogant jerk with a high opinion of himself at the start but when he met Salem he found his match. I loved her strong will and her ability to know what she wanted and was willing to follow it even though she was afraid. This book had all the wonderful trademarks of T.L.’s writing …love, drama, violence, strong characters, sweet butt’s and the ever present laughter and camaraderie between the club brothers. This is a definite must read for the MC lovers.

A really good book

This story is sizzling hot, the attraction and chemistry between the two is off the charts. When Riggs first met Salam the current between them both was felt by all. However Salam is a bit weary as she has come out of a relationship where her ex had cheated on her. And as for Riggs he has a reputation with the laddies especially one who wants to be an ole lady.
An exciting story you dont want to miss seeing we have another gang trying to muscel in on the road Demons territory .

Happy reading.

Wow!!

I have a lot to catch up on!! I read Kellan and I loved it. I am ready to embrace the rest of the Road Demons! Although, I have to be honest I have wanted to nut punch Riggs sooooo many times whilst reading this!! Lol!
Any who I freaking love Salem and she has experienced some shit before landing in Covington Falls. But she is a boss business woman, a freaking awesome tattoo artist.
When her past and the club’s enemies collide, shit gets real.
Will Riggs finally step up?
What a read! Into Ryder now and after that ending I have a feeling I may have more nuts to punch!!

Smoking!

Riggs is a sexy, alpha, bossy man. He is the Secretary of the club and takes his job, and his club seriously. Riggs definitely has the playboy mentality, and he gets teased for it. This becomes the norm when he is introduced to Salem.
Salem is a tattoo artist who owns her own shop. She is best friends with Jenna and Mia. What I like about her is she takes no crap from anyone. She knows who she is and what she wants.
I recommend this book!

In my opinion, Riggs was a cheating a$$hole.

He had been pursuing Salem; they were making out hot and heavy and she finally agreed to get together with him later on that night. An hour before he was supposed to pick up Salem, he took a club wh#re back to his room, fully intending to f#%k her. She was half naked with her hands on his d#%k. The only reason it stopped there was because he couldn't get it up. 🤬

It was alright but a little bla for me. I hate instalove stories. Not much action except in the bedroom or wherever. I know it’s supposed to be a hea love story but it’s also supposed to be a Biker book. There should be more angst and these are cliffhanger books. I hate cliffhanger books, you can’t just read one book then skip one. So I’m going to read 4 in this series because I want Wren’s story, then I’m done with this series and author.

Riggs and Salem start out like oil and water but turn into something that burns hotter than fire. There's heat, competition, jealousy, and a whole lotta loving to be found on the pages of this book. These two are smokin' hot together. He's the eternal player who gets struck down when he sees the tattoo artist for the first time. He gives up his choice of the sweet butts for a chance with Salem. In the biker world, that's a sign that you're either crazy or you've found your Ol' Lady. Salem isn't used to the gruff biker but decides he's worth a shot or two to scratch the itch. What develops between them ends up being the real deal. It's never a simple journey riding the winding roads in a relationship, and these two prove that in spades. I thoroughly enjoyed watching how Riggs and Salem overcame their misgivings to find their HEA.

Riggs and Salem

Really enjoyed this book, Salem is Jenna's new friend and a tattoo artist who catches the eye of Riggs resident man whore of the MC and let's be fair that's saying something. Lots of action, sex and a few misunderstanding before their HEA. I can't wait for the next book

The feels

Riggs is an alpha male with a soft centre. Salem is feisty, argumentative but knows what she wants her future to be. Loved their story. This one has me awwing at the end...Riggs and his soft, loving heart...swoon! This series might have a romantic theme but it still has a gritty, storyline running through it!

Salem is a tattoo artist who is new in Covington, Jenna and Mia befriend her when Jenna goes to have a tattoo, the first time Riggs sees her he's startled by the attraction he has, one they both feel.

The usual club bunny drama ensues and I loved the interaction from all the characters. Another page turning read.

Manwhores can reform

T L Drake has made this book even hotter. Riggs the manwhore of the MC falls hard for the beautiful Salem. The new Tattoo artist in town. Like every man whore there is denial but the chemistry between these two is off the charts.
Salem is in danger, a sweet butt causes trouble and war is coming

Riggs and Salem

A sinfully seductive, fiery and passionate romance. Riggs and Salem’s ride was definitely rocky, they had a lot of hurdles to overcome but when they finally figured things out the heat between these two was palpable. I absolutely enjoyed going on this journey with them.
