I’m crazy, deranged, and psychotic. I’m out of my mind and my life isn’t even mine half the time. Having Dissociative Identity Disorder, it’s an accurate assumption.Born an MC brat, my only dream is to wear the colors of my father’s club, The Shadow Keepers. To feel the weight of the warm leather press across my back, and to be a part of something with purpose.It wasn’t until the last drop of … last drop of blood dripped from my fingertips and the gun smoke faded into the night sky that I realized what was really important to me.
Him.
In a blink of an eye, I lost it all. I lost him.
There’s no such thing as a Free Ride in life, and our story is an example of that.

Holy H*ll. I have never read a book like this before and this one will not be an easily forgotten book! I was intrigued from the beginning – this is not your typical MC romance, that’s for sure! There are steamy sex scenes, twists and turns, and characters you will not forget. I cannot wait to read more from M.N.Forgy.

“Find something you love, and let it kill you.”
Free Ride is hands down my favorite book by M.N. Forgy. From the moment I started reading, I was captured into Harley’s world, which is somewhat dark and sometimes scary. First and foremost, I want to applaud Forgy for tackling a mental illness topic and bringing it some light and attention. I don’t think I give anything away when I mention that in her author note, Forgy talks about how she made some different decisions through the process and one of those was to make a change to not hide the fact that Harley is suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Kudos to you, M.N. I love the way that Harley not only doesn’t hide it but she embraces it the best way she can.
Now that I got that out of the way, let’s talk about Harley. She’s had a very rough start to life and even though she eventually ended up as the Princess of the Shadow Keeper MC, she continues to lead a difficult life. As mentioned, she is diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder so we get to witness the struggle that Harley has. How she blacks out when another personality comes to the front and how she has to live with that when she comes back to consciousness. I think Harley is strong, fierce and beautifully flawed. I fell for her as much as Benji did.
And then there is Benji. *SIGH* He stole my heart and melted it from the start. The second we met him, I knew his connection with Harley was going to be epic. I can’t tell you how many times I swooned and held my chest when Benji would talk about Harley. He loves her unconditionally and to watch him love every single piece of her and use it to help her and to grow their connection was just truly beautiful.
“She’s a curse and a blessing. Wild but caged inside of her own mind.”
Free Ride is heartbreaking and uplifting, bided by epic love. There are twists in here that you won’t see coming and you’ll constantly wonder what is going to happen next. But one thing you can always count on is Benji’s love for Harley. I seriously can’t express to you how much I loved this book and I really do think this is the best thing Forgy has written to date. You do not want to miss out on it.
Free Ride is not your typical MC story. The author stepped out of the box with this unique romantic and touching story!
This read that had all the grit and suspense of a an MC but with an added twist.
I couldn’t put it down!
The intriguing and compelling story of Benji and Harley was one I had to stop and process after I finished. Their romance was a twisted emotional journey full of high highs and low lows. The writing was fantastic, as the author gave us their dual perspectives of their complicated relationship. Harley’s horrific past caused her to experience serious mental health issues, impacting her ability to feel like a part of the MC club her father was the president of.
What Harley does to prove her worth in the MC takes the reader on a a twisted and painful journey where she comes to grips with questioning her sanity and real past experiences.
Benji was not only the MC enforcer of the Shadow Keepers but he was the champion of protecting loving Harley.
This story highlighted flawlessly the trials and tribulations mentally ill people go through and the struggle to feel accepted. Harley’s character was created beautifully and her challenges were depicted realistically and with integrity.
Benji’s commitment to protecting her made him the ultimate badass sexy alpha biker and I need another read with Benji!!
MN Forgy’s best writing to date!
This story is a total and complete mind F**K, Like wow one minute your on board with everything your reading then bam Harley goes from herself to Farrah. I was completely surprised how well it worked from switching minds like it did and being able to know who was who just by reading the story. They really completed each other and really made you think you were actually reading about 2 different people. My heart did ache for Harley for some of the story, I felt bad that some of her memories are just gone, that and what he dick of a dad does(srry you have to read to find out). MN Forgy really made this story a page turner, once in a lifetime read you can’t find another story like this one. What she has done with the characters is real talent, she has made them come alive right before your eyes on the page. By the time you reach the end your happy with the out come and are craving more and more, like some of the characters that come into play, or what happens now that those certain unmentionable events that took place happened. I’m left dying to know with so many questions. This story will keep you turning the page and reading at a speed your didn’t know you had, once I really got going I really read it and loved every single minute of it. MUST READ!! Take my word for it you want to read this out of this world MC, nothing like it before read.
***I received this ARC for free in exchange for my honest thoughts I was in no way told what to write this is all my thoughts**
Let me tell you M.N Forgy really knows how to write about emotionally Fudged up characters that you can’t help but sympathize and be drawn to . I’ve read a few of this authors stories that I really enjoyed but this one knocked them out of the park . Benji and Harley have known one another since they were little he was her protector the one that loved her crazy , she’s always felt something for the hero but kept putting him in the friend zone thinking that her illness would hurt him . It was really beautiful to see her come to realize how much he has done and to really see his love for her and let me tell you Benji will have your panties evaporating while also being swooned off your feet . From the first page I connected to Harely my heart broke for the little girl who only wanted love , I thought it was really interesting that the author put in a couple chapters of one of her alters and to see how different she was to Harley (Harelys characteristics awesome , tough , protective dresses like a bomb as biker , has piercings and tattoos loved her ) (Farrahs characteristics needy , girly , slutty , and tries to cover Harely up by putting makeup on the tattoos and taking away the piercings not really shore how I felt about her ) .Benji is yummy once an adorable kid who declared he’d protect Harely to and adult sexy biker who’s living up to that promise , seeing the way he was with the heroine just blew me a way and to see him admit that he loves Harely and all her crazy just made me want to jump him . I can’t wait to read more about the secondary characters you just know they have one hell of a story to tell .
