My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Red’s Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devil’s MC Vegas Chapter) is about a young man named Red in search of himself and a future. He’s not sure what the future holds for him, but he knows that there must be more for him out there somewhere. After his father passes away, he has nothing holding him back so Red decides it’s time to move on and jumps onto his Harley in search of a warmer climate.

Along his journey Red meets Cheryl with whom he feels an instant attraction and knows is the woman of his dreams. Unfortunately, this is not to be, and he moves on but never forgets this special girl that will always hold a special place in his heart. Red continues his journey with an unknown destination and somehow ends up in Tucson where he meets the Satan’s Devils MC. Although reluctant at first to join a biker club, Red soon find his place within the Satan’s Devils and finally feels he has found his home forging long lasting friendships within the Satan’s Devils club.

Then suddenly Red’s life is uprooted, and he is torn away from his friends once again and relocated to the Satan’s Devils MC chapter located in Vegas. Red isn’t happy about leaving his Tucson family behind but thankfully it doesn’t take him long to fit in and form friendships and gain the respect and loyalty of the Vegas members. Suddenly he is thrust into the role as VP and almost immediately following that Red becomes Prez of the Vegas chapter of the Satan’s Devils.

Red is happy and life is going well for him in Vegas, but he just can’t get that one girl out of his head that he met so briefly. No matter how much time passes no other girl has been able to measure up or compare to Cheryl. Red is a man with a heart of gold that any girl would be lucky to have, and you can’t help but want him to have all his dreams come true. Throughout the book we just keep hoping that Red will either find happiness and be able to finally move on or that his elusive love of his life will return and Red will get the happily ever after he so clearly deserves.

Red’s Peril is another amazing story by Manda Mellett. I have read several of her other books about the Satan’s Devils MC and I can’t get enough of them. Manda has a way of drawing the reader into the story and have the reader become completely involved with the characters. I loved that the main character Red was a redhead because all too often the lead male character is tall, dark, and handsome. I can honestly say I’ve never read a book where the leading male is a redhead, so this was a welcome change. (I have a bit of a soft spot for redheads because my husband is a redhead.) I also loved the fact that the love of Red’s life, Cheryl, was not a perfect petite blond. She had a few curves to her which made her far more realistic and more relatable. I fell in love with Red and Cheryl and really wanted to see them get their happily ever after, whether it was with each other (preferably) or with someone who loved and appreciated them for who they are. Red’s Peril ended with a bit of a cliffhanger and I’m anxiously anticipating Part 2 which should be coming out shortly. I highly recommend this book and all the Satan’s Devils MC books written by Mandy Mellett.
