He’s the king of the freestyle world. The hottest, hell-raising guy to ever throw a leg over a dirt bike… and I was his before I was old enough to realize what it meant to be tied to a guy like Roan Sawyer. He protected me and saved me, only to turn me away when I wanted him the most. Behind the helmet, he’s gorgeous, rugged, obsessive, and a liar. Now his reckless ways have me questioning … questioning everything I thought I knew about him and my family. And here I am, trying to move on with my life, but he won’t let me.
Consumed by a haunting ache only he provides, I want him, even though I hate him. Our love is wide-open, full throttle, red-lined ’til the very end.
They say behind every king is a queen who he will do anything for. This queen… she’s innocent, sweet, and I’m nothing she needs. Everything I know about Ophelia Hadley is a lie I fed to keep her mine, only to be betrayed and deceived.
She deserves stability, and me, well, I’m not that. I can’t promise her tomorrow. She knows that, but it doesn’t stop me from taking back what’s mine.
Even if it means destroying everything I’ve worked for in the process.

Loved Roan and Ophelia’s story. This is the first book that I have read in this series, but I still managed to keep track of who was who and what was going on. Their story was a roller coaster ride, but I enjoyed the journey. I am looking forward to reading Shade and Tiller.
Received an ARC for an honest review.
Wow!
This Author continues to amaze me with her works of art. I continually had to make myself slow down so so the book wouldn’t be finished too soon. I loved every thing about Roan and Ophelia. There was so much chemistry between the two characters and I loved seeing the quiet Roan come alive.
Roan has always loved Ophelia but wanted her to have the chance to grow and become a woman before becoming his in every way. Ophelia just wanted to be Roans. Tiller is Tiller. Shade is Shade. We get to revisit all of our favorite characters and see them grow as families and find hope for new books.
I don’t know where the inspiration for the Sawyer brothers came from, but I am thankful to have read their stories. I love everything about them, but absolutely adore Roan. Roan is strong, resilient, and in love. I loved Ophelia and how she knew from a young age what she wanted and went after it. The story broke by heart and put it back together multiple times and i loved every second of it. I don’t re-read books very often but I will definitely be doing a re-read of Roan and Ophelia in the near future.
Shey, please keep doing your thing!!!!
Another great story by Shey. A must read series
Phew! What a roller coaster ride! An author that can make you laugh out loud one page and cry on the next has a true talent. Shey is amazing! You won’t be disappointed with Roan. You’ll find yourself holding your breath as you witness another hurdle for Roan and Ophelia to overcome. A page turner worth more than five stars!
I loved Roan! So much angst, but also so much humour. I’ve been waiting for Roan to get his happy ever after since I first read Shade, and Shey Stahl most definitely did not disappoint! This book broke my heart and pieced it back together again. A must read.
Roan’s long anticipated book is everything I thought it would be and more! Buckle up for an emotionally charged, angst filled story that brings new meaning to nothing worth having comes easy. Roan and Ophelia’s love is frustrating, intense, and pushes the envelope as they find their way. Their story has all the feels and had me invested from start to finish. Roan is five star worthy and definitely worth the one click!!
Roan is a full throttle red line read.
First of all I have to start with the acknowledgements page, Shey don’t ever stop sharing your stories with us, we love your mind!!!!
Roan’s story is no different, all the feels in this book I was laughing at times, mad, crying, and then so happy. Ophelia and Roan’s story is definitely a roller coaster ride of emotions, seeing a bad boy bot necessarily tamed but brought down a notch is always a good read for me. I cant wait to read more from Shey!!!
Roan and Ophelia take you on a WILD ride that makes you laugh, scream, and cry! It is another great story by Shey! It keeps you guessing… Once I started, I couldn’t put it down! I love the fact that it gives you a inside in Motorcross riders and their families!
I love all the Sawyer Brothers, and had been patiently waiting on Roans story. Shey did not disappoint!! Roan and Ophelia’s timing was never right and you begin to wonder if Roan is gonna suck it up and claim his woman. This is a great read and had me quite emotional at times, you won’t regret picking this story up, you won’t be able to lay it down!!
Finally! The story I’ve been waiting for! I love this bad boy so much!
My absolute favorite line is “but I’ll warn you now, this isn’t a timeless romance. It’s a tragedy!” This book gives you all the feels, a true page turner, and a must read! You did it again shey! Thank you!
Thanks again to Shey for letting me be apart of the ARC team.I loved Ophelia and Roans story this two childhood friends who loved each other but were scared to really commit to each. It might have took Awhile but they found their happily ever after.This Sawyer brothers really know how to push your buttons you want to hate them and love them at the same time but Family and Love will always be everything to them
Love ever book Shey has written. Roan and Ophelia is yet another couple that grew in maturity .. They learn that lies can ruin everything. They learn to forgive and in the end love endures.
Loved this book. I say that about all of Shey’s work but they’re all great and all different. Roan’s story is no exception. You get his life and you get to catch up with the rest of the Sawyer family – who I now love like the Riley’s (look ’em up!). Enjoy
This is the story of Roan and Ophelia. It almost reads like a dirty Shakespearean tragedy.
Ophelia has been in love with Roan since she was 12. Yet after one drunken night and a huge mistake on her part…their lives are changed.
Roan is an unforgiving bastard. But he loves Ophelia with everything in him all the while pushing her away.
This story is heartbreaking, raw, and sexy. You’ll also find that as in every Shey Stahl book you’re going to laugh out loud. Because don’t forget you have Roan’s brothers Shade and Tiller….who are just as lovingly screwed up as he is.
This family will grow on you and you’ll want more. I loved every bit of this book. I lived the words as I read them. 5 stars all the way!
This book is just everything. I laughed, I had my heart broken and healed again. It was just brilliant. I haven’t read the others in this series ( shame on me I know) but I followed this story with no problems at all. I can’t wait to read the next book. 5 amazing stars.
Once again Shey did not disappoint me with this book…
It had so many ups and down where you were annoyed with not only Roan but also Ophelia, then throw in Tiller and his crazy antics and you have one extremely well written book…
I don’t believe Shey has written a book that is yet to grab my attention from start to finish, once again we’ll done Shey
Roan
Deep love sometimes really takes time and sometime misunderstandings happen. Roan and Ophelia really have a deep love and passion together, but will they ever get it together? That is the question. Their story takes a journey through heartache and young love to an adult relationship. In addition, Shey gives the reader glimpse and update of all the characters. Roan is still wild and carefree but taming this bad boy is more of a challenge.
Wow so I’m still realing from this one!! We have waited for the king Sawyer brother and boy he sure didnt disappoint at all
“One is a choice the other isn’t”
O and Roan didnt have a choice it just was. The journey these two took us on was heartbreaking, amazing and maddening all at once. But hey we wouldnt expect anything different from a Sawyer.. Things are never easy I definitely loved every page of this book just as I did with Shade and Tiller! Love these guys! Take the journey tou wont be disappointed!!
OMG!
I have been waiting to get my hands on the final Sawyer brother FOREVER and Shey Stahl did not disappoint.
I didn’t think it was possible to love a Sawyer brother more than Shade… then there was Tiller, but OMFG Roan Blew. Me. Away! Shey Stahl makes you experience these crazy emotions as if you were the person getting your heart ripped in half and then put back together instead of simply reading an incredible story. The men are so damaged and yet you root for them to be better and to get the girl. The girl, Ophelia, is already so broken, but yet so much stronger than she realizes. The book is so steamy, and shows love on so many levels. I always enjoy seeing the crazy love between family members as much as the love of a couple. The love these crazy brothers have is so strong and so volatile that it could be it’s own character ~ it makes you desperately want to be a part of their inner circle and it’s so much fun to read. I couldn’t have possibly loved this book more!
I have so much feelings about this book!
I just ended „Roan”, the story which I was waiting for and I can’t even know, what to write!
It is perfect!
Roan and Ophelia (this name!) are childhood friends. Thewere in love and one day Ophelia wanted Roan to be her first. But he said that she must wait for everything, because they are not ready for this.
And the he left, because he had a freestyle motocross championship.
Ophelia thought that he didn’t love her, so… she went to bed with her younger brother Tiller. And she made a big mistake, because Roan wanted her every day and every night.
They met again, but life changed and they are different.
Do these two broken souls will be finally together?
„Roan” is a standalone book, but now, when I end it I have hope that Tiller and Shade – Roan’s brothers have theirs story too.
Of course in „Roan” we have their life, but so many things happen to them, that I think they must have theirs stories. Please Shey Stahl!
I love this hate to love between Ophelia and Roan. They are like two poles, one they repel and once they attract! Perfect chemistry and desire between these two sounds from every page of this book! Everything what they done in this book were thoughtful and real. I enjoyed every page of „Roan”.
This book is one of my favourite in this year. „Roan” is live now, so grab yours copy and meet Ophelia and Roan and theirs sweet and bitter story!
