After the way Bound by Destiny ended I was in a 50/50 split on NEEDING the next book in the series and being absolutely anxiety ridden about it because that ending was just a full on gut buster. I mean I read that last part at least three times because I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t, but it’s all there in black and white.
So, when Bound by Wreckage dropped on the Kindle I was all kinds of excited, but didn’t dive right on in. I took a minute to prepare myself and even then it was a total emotional gut punch.
The FEELS were all kinds of real and had me reeling in more ways than one. I swooned, I cheered, I wanted to gut people with a spoon, I cringed, the panties were all kinds of melted and I fell further into adoration with the entire Ravage MC family. I put this book down once because I needed to, but outside of a mini break, I devoured it in no time flat and still need more.
Nox has always been, up until now, Cooper’s younger brother or Austyn’s twin, but here he definitely slides out from under those labels and shows that though those labels do fit, he is most definitely his own man. He was sweet, charming, compassionate as well as highly intelligent and observant.
Carsyn is a survivor. What she endured would have shattered most people ~ male or female ~ and though there are parts of her that were broken, she never broke. She fought and existed. My heart hurt for her, but I loved watching as she pulled herself up and put herself back together in order to move forward.
As for Nox and Carsyn’s journey. It most definitely falls under the following your gut.kinda insta but not really type of romance and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It fit them and all that they were dealing with as they collided and found that there was a connection between them. It was all kinds of sweet and swoon worthy and the smexy was perfect for them and all that was going on. The angst between them was relatively low, (and thank goodness for that because the chaos swirling around them was intense) but the emotions were heavy and I loved where they were at in the end.
Now, while I loved Nox and Carsyn, a good part of my love of this series is because of the various and unique members of the Ravage MC family. Quite a bit of my excitement when it comes to diving into these book is getting to spend time with them and this one…it definitely packed a huge punch. If you’ve read Bound by Destiny you KNOW how emotional the ending was and that feeling definitely carried over and tears happened, but that was tempered by laughter and moments that brought tears to the eyes, but in a good way. (And Princess is still the ultimate bad@#$ ~ total #girlcrush). And as far as what happens at the end of this one…there is never a dull moment when it comes to the Ravage MC.

This book is everything!
It is the 6th one in the Bound Series
This book had it all, answered question, pulled you in deeper into the ravage world. Drama, action, love, emotional, steam, loyalty and brotherhood.
This book made cry and swoon all in one! Nox is amazing!
This series is one of the best I have ever read! Read and meet the Ravage Men!
What an awesome read, I devoured every page.
The story is full of tension and suspense. The writing was phenomenal, with swings of tragedy and loyalty in the tale that teared my heart out and made me gasp.
Bound by Wreckage is an intense story, very dark. I’ve loved many of Ryan Michele books, but this one has quickly become a favourite, and will be reread many a time I’m sure.
Carsyn is in a terrible situation, and she’s rescued but Carsyn fears for the lives of her rescuers. They both fight to figure out a safe solution for the problem, in the mean time, a terrible tragedy strikes the MC, and the search is on for the culprits responsible and revenge ensues.
An exciting and very emotional story. I highly recommend this book!
I feel like every book I read of Ryan’s I say is my favorite, but this one… HOLY GUACAMOLE! I cannot say enough about this story. I’m going to try and recap with no spoilers. It might be a short review because there are a lot of surprises and special moments in this story.
Carsyn is just a woman who wants one thing, freedom. Doesn’t matter the cost or how it happens, she just wants it. When she finds herself in the sights of Nox, she can’t be unseen. She will have to find this strength that is hidden in the cracks and crevices of her heart. I really liked her growth as a character. She almost took over Leah for my favorite female. Ryan made Carsyn’s emotions bleed through the pages. I love how even flawed she rose above like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Nox is everything I thought he would be. He grew up with strengths from his father, mother, and older brother. How it ended in the last story and wove into this one was beautifully done by Ryan. Nox was strong and stubborn. I loved that his strength isn’t what Carsyn needed it was his loyalty and honesty. When his world was in ashes it was Carsyn’s flame of hope and love that helped him pull through.
The surprises… HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER!!! I can’t even tell you all I want. So if you read it and need an ear, message me. I am just shocked and blown away. Ryan did a fabulous job. You never want fictional characters to have harm but that would be fairy tales. She makes it real.
Cruz and Princess play a vital role in this story. Each of them is what you want in parents. Their strength, faith, and loyalty help their family be stronger than blood. Rhys and all the supporting characters just hit you straight in the heart.
This story gave you all the feels. It showed what family means and does when stuff hits the fan. They step up, show up, and fight together. Ravage is a family that has bonds deeper than the deepest rooted tree.
This story concludes with the plot of Nox and Carsyn, but we have some doozie bombs being dropped. You will have to read for yourself to find them all out. You will be lost if you haven’t read the previous book. I would recommend the whole Bound series. It is beautifully written. The words move you and make you feel a wide range of emotions. This blogger gives it 5 pointe shoes and a definite recommendation as a must read.
This is the 6th book in this phenomenal series, and in my opinion, each book just keeps getting better and better. Nox and Carysn’s story is an emotional rollercoaster journey, and filled with action, drama, and sexy times. This author has once again written an amazing storyline, which is an engaging page turner throughout, and I was intrigued and captivated from the very beginning. This talented author is one of my favourites, and I cannot recommend her work highly enough for all MC lovers out there; you will never be disappointed!
Truly brilliant work Ryan!!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this novel for the author!
I do not even know where to start.
All I do have to say is that I had no idea where Ryan was taking us with BBW and I am so glad she blindsided us.
BBW was a book I was anxiously waiting for. Given how the previous book in the series ended I was apprehensive to jump right in. I also kind of forgot the emotions she made us all go through until THAT scene came up again in the book. I still have no idea how she made it so sad and beautiful at the same time. I didn’t know if I was going to throw my kindle at the wall or hug it and sob. <- as you can see I am STILL not over it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Now back to the main couple at hand, Nox and Carysn. I really liked Nox and Carsyn. It’s just that simple. In BBW we see more of the main characters than we do of the club and you get to see the development of them from who they are individually and to seeing them growing into stronger people as couple. I felt for Carsyn, which just goes to show how good Ryan was with her writing of the h. She was a product of some sad circumstances and was merely hanging on by a thread. Then came Nox. If you were a fan of the men in his family, you’ll love him. Nox rescued her in a way but I didn’t feel like he was the whole reason for who made Carsyn strong. Carsyn already had strength, but she had just forgotten it (understandably so). So, in my opinion, Nox helped Carsyn remember her own inner strength. That was something I enjoyed the most. I could write about this book all day but I am just going to say I encourage you to read it. Long term fans will love it and newer fans will be hooked. 4 Stars
OH My goodness these just keep getting better and better. With the way the Bound by Destiny ended I knew I would be in for an ugly cry, how could it not? BOY did Wreckage deliver!! There was so much emotion in this book – there were so many times I wanted to toss my Kindle across room either because my heart and stomach ached so much because of the many things that were making me bawl or because I was in an utter rage because of what predicament the MC or Carysn found themselves. I have been a fan since the first Ravage book and to be able to read about my fav Ravage man’s son was so yet another adventure I was so happy to take with the MC. Nox has certainly learned a ton from both Cruz and Princess – he has it ALL the amazing tenderness, compassion, strength, protectiveness, and take no shit attitude. Even though he had a few mis-steps in Destiny he totally took his lumps and came out and even better man!! I love it when a man knows he wrong and learns from it!! LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!
This entire series actually I should say FAMILY – has made and kept a very special place in my heart, I love how Ryan continues to include multiple members, past members and family members in each book. Every time a previous member is mentioned it brings you right back to their story and I love that! The ending or should I say multiple endings … opens so many doors I’m so flipping excited about all that may come and ready to enjoy each amazing RIDE!!!!
I’m always excited to get a new Ravage book. Bound by Wreckage not only met my expectations but blew them out of the water. Nox definitely gives all the other other Ravage guys a run for their money. Ryan brought all of the action, suspense and steam we love about this group. I can hardly wait for the next book and I never want this series to end!

Epic!
Ryan Michele is simply amazing! Bound by Wreckage is intense, emotional, and unpredictable. The characters are complex and well developed, and the storyline is unique and gripping. I must admit that Bound by Wreckage maybe one of my favorites.
The Ravage MC Bound series is a spinoff of the author’s prior series, Ravage MC. Bound by Wreckage can be read as a standalone romance, but to fully understand the background stories, I recommend reading the Ravage and Bound series. Just know that it’s not necessary to read them to understand and follow the storyline. I believe reading them will give you a better foundation.
This was a hard book for me to read at times since I just love these characters. My house could have been burning down around me, and I would still be on my couch completely engrossed in this epic story.
Simply Outstanding!

Freaking Hell! This is a rough one. Bound by Wreckage is an emotional read.
I felt everything reading this book, sadness pity happiness guilt revulsion humor arousal fear and so much more.
There is lots of inner dialogue that allows me to connect with Carsyn and Nox. Lots of tender moments making me want NOX for myself. Lots of troubles happening in the MC keeping me in suspense. Lots of “OMG” moments making me crave more.
Love these characters of the Ravage MC, everyone one of them keeps me glued to the story.
Bound by Wreckage is so good. Prepare yourself to feel. You will Love it!
