My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.
The first time Gray meets Ellie he’s a little jealous of his buddy Dawson’s good fortune of finding such a great girl. He didn’t think a short time later he would be sitting next to her at Dawson’s funeral. He and Gray served together for four years, Gray got out and joined the Guardians MC, Dawson re-uped and was killed.
Gray is worried about Ellie, she pregnant with Dawson’s baby, a baby he didn’t want. Plus there are an awful lot of single ladies at the funeral. Gray’s worried Ellie’s going to find out Dawson’s ugly truth, he was a massive player and Ellie learns she wasn’t his only girlfriend, just the only one pregnant. Gray hustles her out of there and takes her somewhere they can talk.
Ellie’s worried about her future now, she still in college, lives at home, and is pregnant. Gray gives her a solution, they need to get married. That will give her access to healthcare for her and the baby. She’s reluctant at first but agrees to a marriage in name only.
Gray returns to Tennessee and is then off on a mission. Two months later he goes back to Texas to see Ellie. He finds out her parents kicked. Her out of the house, she had to drop out of school, and has been dealing with severe morning sickness. He finds her in a run down apartment sick as can be. He gets her to agree to come back to Tennessee with him.
She reluctantly agrees and he gets her set up in a nice apartment with everything she will need.
It takes a bit but they both acknowledge they have an attraction to one another and soon have sex for the first time. Things are going so well for them, then her mom calls and asks her to come back home, their reasons upset Ellie and she tells Gray they want her to move back home. Her dad thinks he can get a do over with the new baby. Raise it right. Gray is worried she will leave, he professes his love and she tells him she’s not leaving and she loves him too.
Epilogue with Ellie delivering their baby boy at home when her labor progresses to quick to make it to the hospital. Dawson’s parents are told about their grandson and they want to be a part of his life. I liked that Gray was so caring and patient with Ellie. I liked that he made her see she was deserving of love and worthy of him.

*spoilers* Ellie was Dawson’s girlfriend and is pregnant. Dawson died being in the military, and at the funeral Ellie learns that she was not Dawson’s only girlfriend, he was a player. But his best friend Gray steps up and gently pushes her to marry him, so she is better taken care of. He lives in Whiskey Run and Ellie in Texas, but he can not get her out of his head and deep inside him he knows he wants to help her for more reasons than feeling guilty about Dawson’s death. So when he learns that her parents kicked her out and she is not doing great, he takes her home. Will there be love between them?
Gray is such a honorable and sweet biker. He is faithful and takes care of Ellie without asking anything in return. He so deeply cares and protects. Ellie is a strong woman, just in a place where she needs some help. Like always, love Hope Ford writing style and characters. The epilogue is so sweet!.

This is book number 3 of the Whiskey Run: Guardians MC series and focuses on Gray and Ellie. Ellie finds out at her boyfriend's funeral that she had not been his only girlfriend and that he didn’t want the baby they created together. Gray had wanted Ellie from the first time he met her but never made that known the few times they met. After the funeral, Gray proposes that the two of them get married under the guise of him being able to take care of Ellie and the baby. Gray did want to take care of them more than Ellie realized, but what he felt for her was far beyond just taking care of them out of obligation. He loved both of them fiercely and was so protective of them. Gray was exactly the person that Ellie needed. I love how protective and loving Gray was to Ellie and how her happiness and comfort were his number 1 concern. This was hands down my favorite book of this series so far!

Loved it!!!
Relentless Biker is the third book in the Whiskey Run: Guardians MC series. This story I was not sure about at the beginning as it sort of broke my heart. But then a couple chapters in I was in love with it. All I can say is that Grayson Hayes, the H, has been added to my book boyfriend list as I swooned and fell hard for this man. I also loved Ellie Jenkins, the h, really tried to make the best of her situation, even as she ended up in a place she definitely did not deserve. But Grayson rode to her rescue and made sure she was taken care of by himself as her husband, after all they are married even if it came about in the most unlikely ways. With the feels these to have for each other you know it will not be long before what is fake becomes real and all it takes is one situation to tip them both over that cliff but into the best fall they have ever had....into each others arms.

October 18, 2022Relentless Biker is the third book in the Whiskey Run: Guardians MC series. In this book we follow Gray & Ellie as they find their way to happily ever after.
Ellie is pregnant & alone. Her boyfriend is gone & she's not sure how she'll get along but she's sure that Gray is only offering his help out of obligation, but will she be able to walk away after without breaking her heart.
Gray is telling himself that helping Ellie is the right thing to do, but is he just lying to himself?
I love the Whiskey Run books & this is a great addition to that world. The main characters are interesting & made me want to know more about them. The story line seemed fresh & really kept me turning pages. All in all, this is a great book to curl up with on a quiet evening.

I love the Whiskey Run books & this is a great addition to that world. The main characters are interesting & made me want to know more about them. The story line seemed fresh & really kept me turning pages. All in all, this is a great book to curl up with on a quiet evening.

After every Hope Ford book I read, I swear that it is my new favorite book. This book included - I loved it! Ellie’s is 23 and just found out her boyfriend died (military). She has met his best friend, Gray, before so at the funeral, so he stayed close to her. He was hoping that she would not discover what kind of a man his friend was. Unfortunately, she finds out that her dead boyfriend was a player. Gray tells Ellie that he will take care of her and the baby because that’s what his friend would have wanted. Not wanting to further confuse Ellie, he does not want to tell her how he really feels about her.
This book was so well written with fully developed characters. This book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. I absolutely loved this book!!!.

Book #3 of the Whiskey Run Guardians MC Club. Ellie is at her boyfriend’s funeral and she realizes that she was not his only girlfriend and he really didn’t want the baby she was carrying. His best friend Gray comforts her during the funeral and suggests they get married for practical reasons. Over the next few months Ellie finds herself living in Whiskey Run, making new friends and Gray looking after her. Her feelings start to change and now she’s scared her heart will be broken when Gray decides he no longer wants her. This was an emotional read. I loved how protective Gray was over Ellie and the baby and made them his number one priority. Ellie finds her strength and learns to trust again after so many people in her life cast her aside and didn’t believe in her. An awesome addition to the series. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book took a new take on a single mom romance. She’s still pregnant, newly single, and he’s the biker best friend of her baby daddy. The way that Ellie became a single mom to be was unexpected and had an interesting twist I definitely wasn’t expecting. Gray is everything you could ask for in a book boyfriend though. Caring, patient, supportive, and relentless. He wants to take care of her and he’s constant in his pursuit of her happiness. Her feelings begin to grow and she starts to wonder if he has feelings for her too or does he feel obligated to take care of her? I loved this quick and steamy romance with a really beautiful ending. Family doesn’t have to be blood related. Family can be those we choose to surround ourselves with because they are always there for us.

Gray & Ellie
Ellie and Gray’s story is definitely unconventional but they work so well. Ellie finds her self sitting next to Gray at the funeral of her boyfriend and father of her child.
She finds herself married to Gray, only on paper and her parents kick her out when they learn she is pregnant. Down on her luck and feeling like she is failing already at being a mom.
Gray knows he wants Ellie but also feels like she isn’t ready for all he wants to give. So he takes care of her and provides for her. Till she is ready to admit she wants him too. Cute addition to the series.

Great read!
I love Whiskey Run and I love the people that live there. This MC series is quickly becoming one of my favourites too.
This time it's Gray's turn and what starts off as him helping out his friend's girlfriend, turns into so much more. Especially as secrets are revealed at his friend's funeral.
I really enjoyed this read, the build up and the friendship between Gray and Ellie is just beautiful. But is he too good to be true?
