The majority of people thought all bikers, especially one-percenters like us, handled things the same. Those people would be irrevocably wrong. Our now rival MC, The Dogs of Chaos, was proof. Their club’s greed outweighed the amount of honor they had for our deal. We were quick to remind them what a colossal mistake they made. I was the Vice President of the Cleveland, Ohio Chapter of the Royal … Royal Bastards MC. My cut was sacred, and I wore our colors with pride.
I thought of my past daily, but that didn’t mean I still loved her. The remnants of guilt I felt in my gut every day didn’t prove that I should have followed her. They were reminders of my life, a part of the history of how I became who I am: a stubborn SOB with a foul mouth and a heap of felonies. Stealing guns, arson, breaking and entering, these were all petty things to me.
My only weakness was admitting my true feelings for her, and I refused to…until I was forced.
When Ray abruptly walked into my life again, or rather, I barged into hers, I quickly vowed this time would be different. The thing was, a person couldn’t make promises without considering the rest of their life, particularly someone with as many enemies as I had. I stupidly got caught up in the moment and forgot who I was and what that meant for her. I never meant for any of it to happen; I didn’t want this for her.
The Dogs would retaliate for our transgressions; this much I was certain of. Having knowledge didn’t make a difference in the end, because what they took from me could never be replaced. I was Logan “Crow” Williams, and just like a crow, I would hunt them down and reap my revenge in blood.

Such a wonderful second book filled with heated second chance romance. It was such a treat to read Chelle and Eli’s addition to the Royal Bastards. It had heart, sex, and danger, what more can you ask for. A must read for our MC lovers!
There are a couple of things about series where different authors take a character and part of the storyline and each tell their version of what happens. Some are so good you don’t want to put them down and some are so slow it seemingly takes forever to get through them. Unfortunately, “Bad Like Me: Ohio Chapter” is one of those that seemed to take me forever to finish. It’s a second chance romance between Ray and Crow and that’s great, except they didn’t even run into each other until the middle of the book. Most of it is spent on how sick Ray’s father is with cancer. These kind of series are a pot shot as to what you’ll get and I realize no two authors write the same. I know several of the authors participating and I hope this is just her first work within an MC book and the next one with have a bit more grit and substance, otherwise, it was a good read.
Okay, can I say I love this second chance book? Why? Well let’s see, I love how they let each other go to be a better version of themselves. They Love each other fiercely but they gradually came back to each other like they were never apart. Author Chelle and Author Eli Abbott did amazingly well with this one.
New to me authors and you would not guess this is written by two authors! It is seamless!!
Ray is on her way home to Cleveland, Ohio after moving away to work. The reason had me in tears as it brought back memories for me but it was written do beautifully.
Ray and Logan ‘Crow’ reconnect and after all that has gone on before, the connection and chemistry is still there. It is fast paced! With danger lurking from a rival MC, Logan needs to keep his wits about him and Ray, safe.
Great addition to the Royal Bastards!
Logan and Ray are amazing together but life happened. Ray is strong but I felt her character was so lost. Logan seemed to be together but wanting more. This story was a good read but there seemed to be more inner dialogue than interacting with other characters in the story. I am looking forward to the next story to see what happens next with this RBMC chapter.
This was my first book by these authors. I liked the characters and the storyline, but too many scenes lacked details. I ended up waiting more, but it just was not there.
Purchased through Amazon and am leaving my review voluntarily. This is part of the Royal Bastards MC World.
This is a 2nd chance love story with a backdrop of a MC club. Quick read. A little sexy time.
Triggers: drugs, assault, killing
**spoilers**
Rachel, aka Ray leaves hs boyfriend and her hometown to pursue a career. Logan, aka Crow, stayed behind and became a criminal with his MC.
Ray comes home because her dad was dying..she and Crow still have feelings for each other. They have sex. She gets assaulted by a rival MC.
HEA
3 stars. Wasn’t bad – wasn’t a fan of Ray’s and then Crow crying? Totally lost me.
This is my first time reading this author and although she hasn’t jumped to a must read more author, she has been placed in the I shall read more from her when I see it author. It’s a pretty good MC read, it’s a fairly short book and was worth the time it took to read it. It’s a second chance romance and a pretty well written one at that.

Am enjoying this series with so many different authors. This is the first I’ve read by Chelle C. Craze and Eli. Love MC and second chance stories and Ray and Crow’s story fits the bill! It’s not a smooth ride and it takes them forever to get back together but once they do it’s like picking up where they left off because they fit together like a hand in a glove, they really belong together!
I didn’t think this one was quite as thrilling as the 3 I have already read in this series but it is still interesting and has some excitement. There is a suspenseful build up but the big scene is not as intense as I expected, it does have some violence but it is quickly dealt with and over. I felt it was more about two characters reconnecting and even this was more build up than content. A good read but not enough to warrant the 5 stars unfortunately.
This MC is from Cleveland and it touches on two people getting a second chance and how life eventually leads to it, a second chance, no matter if something good or bad happens. The writing flows, shows heartfelt moments while keeping things a bit towards the darker side. Crow and Ravin are bonded in many ways and truly these two belong together. A fast paced read that’ll shed some light on whats go on in this chapter and possibly what may be coming. Overall I absolutely loved reading this and I’d recommend reading.
The series is not a must read every book.. but having read the first book by Erin and several other biker series … this book was lack luster. Nothing about this kept me interested…. by the time you reach something of substance you are over half done with the story and I was completely tuned out by the finishing only because I promised a review for Booksprout ARC
Well worth reading!
I wish I could give you more than five stars, for it being my first read I was blown away. I hope to read many more of your crazy cool stories.
I’ve not read any other books by Chelle C. Craze and not sure that I’ll read any more. I’m not happy I paid $3 for this ….I could have had a coffee instead and been much more satisfied. Crow and Ray were HS loved that grew apart with age, college, career, and the MC. She comes home and after halfway through this book, they get back together…..instantly, after years. Yeah, sure. This book was not particularly original, not at all good. I will have to think twice about paying to buy any other of the Royal Bastards MC books from authors I am less familiar with and that’s too bad. I agree with reviewer “Tai-FantasyLandBlog”, put these books on KU for a short period of time. I hate to waste my coffee money on crap.
This is the 2nd stand alone in this series. This is Logan and rays story. Can logan keep her safe and them have a happily ever after?

Loved Crow and Ray’s story. Love second chance romances. MC romances are my favorite genre to read. Good romance and read!

I love second chance romances and it’s what Ray and Crow get here. Years have passed but they are always thinking of each other, even they shouldn’t or don’t want to. There’s some drama and action before they can truly be together and I would have loved to see a little more interaction between them before that but we know most of how they are feeling before their first interaction after years apart. You can’t help but root for them.

“Bad Like Me” introduces the Ohio chapter of the Royal Bastards MC and is a dark second chance romance for Crow and Ray. This action-packed, tale reveals the darker side of MC and the sacrifices made for love. I loved this tale and look forward to more from this author.
