Author: Chelsea Camaron
Genre: Erotica
Publication Date: December 19, 2013
Delilah “Doll” Reklinger never imagined her life with anyone that wasn’t a Hellion. She never imagined a Hellion would come along and prove himself worthy enough to her father, Roundman, Hellions Club President. Content in living in the bubble of safety the motorcycle club family has always provided, Doll never thought that danger surrounded her.
Roundman has kept the Hellions contained for the last thirty years by controlling the chaos surrounding their lifestyle. When the dangerous side to their business comes knocking on his door, he realizes his precious Doll isn’t safe. The Hellions code may be that women and children are off limits in any altercation or dispute, but that doesn’t mean their enemies follow that same moral compass.
His only child, now in danger from the association to him and his club, Roundman makes a decision. He sends her away to a charter club, in hopes that the trouble won’t follow.
One ride across the country. One simple ride. Talon “Tripp” Crews has been ordered to take Doll on one ride away and to keep her safe. She’s off limits, his head knows this, but his body can’t deny the sparks between them. She’s feisty, fierce, and fearless. Constantly in close confines together, can they deny the chemistry? Will they give into the attraction between them? Can one ride turn lust into love?
I
love any and all books about motorcycle clubs and this one was no
different. There is just something about the story that sucks you in and
makes you want to live in the world with all the protection of family
that isn’t blood, but sometimes more than blood. I thought the writing
in the story was good and kept me wanting to continue to find out more
about Doll and Tripp.
Doll
has lived her life as a Hellion it’s all she knows. She’s tough, caring
and full of sass. I really enjoyed reading her character. I loved the
immediate attraction between her and Tripp and the fact that from the
very beginning Tripp felt possessive of her. I loved Tripp and at times
he pissed me off (ok one time) once again I found myself looking over
it. He was fighting the attraction to Doll knowing that he could never
be the safe bet that she needs in her life. Sometimes caring and loving
someone will only turn out bad in the end.
Although
at times I thought the book was a little to descriptive and would have
enjoyed more dialogue time with Tripp and Doll together I found myself
endeared to the story. Once they met it really picked up for me. I loved
Sass and Tank and hope they get their own book.
I
know I have stated this many times, but somethings just need to be
reiterated..I love me a biker boy! Their possessiveness, their lack of
full sentences, their bikes and their tattooed bad ass bodies. What I
do not like is when they are cheating ass dogs..not a big fan of that!
So Tripp won me over in this story..with small exceptions (funny how I
can make them for the right boy)!
Tripp
and Doll don't really connect until just about half way through the
book and that is a shame. I feel the set-up to getting to the connection
was a little much. If rating this book from 40% on it would have been
higher for me. I was hooked with their relationship. The journey to
get there was a little long for me.
The
road trip to relationship was paved with hallway disasters and hearts
on the line. The beauty of a road trip is you have nothing but the wind
in your hair and different beds to get busy with on each night. The
downfall can be it's not "real life" so the closer you get to home the
more unsettled you can become.
I really enjoyed the love story between these two and loved the falling for each other even with the obstacles in their lives.

The thoughts of having her like this for my lifetime brings warmth deep inside of me. Today, I bring her back to my house. Tonight, I will have her in my bed. Tomorrow, I return her to her world. Tomorrow, I say goodbye to my lifeline. Tomorrow, I say goodbye to my heart because when I leave, I leave it with her. As much as it’s going to suck, I’m going to leave her. It’s going to crush me, but I’m going to walk away. The other thing Pop’s always said, “Don’t give your woman unnecessary pain.” My life would be unnecessary pain for Doll.
I have all of today, tonight, and tomorrow’s ride to make sure Doll knows she’s my treasure. Starting in this moment, when I gently rub the back of my hand against her face. Knowing she’s asleep, I share what’s on my mind.
Whispering to her, “You’re everything, Doll. You’re the good in me. When the days get long, you’ll be what pulls me through. I’m gonna let you go, but I’m always gonna carry you with me.” I watch her breathing.
No longer able to contain myself, I move to kiss her forehead. Rolling her over, I kiss her cheek, then her neck. She’s waking up under me. I take my time trailing kisses over her neck and collar bone. She reaches up, running her fingers through my hair. Our eyes meet. The words are on the tip of my tongue, but unable to come out. I see the love this woman has for me in the depths of those piercing blue eyes. Does she see what I feel for her? Does she see the man behind the bike? Rather than speak the words, I spend my morning making love to her body. Taking in every second of this and committing it to my memory in a way to last me a lifetime.
Tomorrow, she’ll be home. Tomorrow, our ride will end. Tomorrow, I’ll be man enough to walk away. We’re in too deep. I never should’ve let this happen, emotions and entanglements are things I don’t do. Today, I’ll give her all of me. Today, I’ll take everything I can. Today, I’ll let my weakness for her consume me.

Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice.
Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her ‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in the works.
When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in.
She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.
