Red’s Peril Part 2: The Prez’s Old Lady by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In the prequel to this book, Red’s Peril: Part 1, we were introduced to the characters of Red and Cheryl. They had met completely by chance on one of Red’s stops along his journey to finding himself. Cheryl was a waitress in a diner that Red stopped at to have a bite to eat and the two of them felt an immediate attraction to each other. Acting on impulse, Cheryl left everything behind to ride off into the proverbial sunset with Red on his motorbike. When it wasn’t everything that she had hoped it to be, Cheryl became spooked and cut their journey short.
Neither saw the other again until by pure chance they ran into each other in Vegas. Even though 15 years had passed neither had stopped thinking about the other and wondering what could have been. Both Red and Cheryl have attempted to move on with their lives over the years but have regrets for leaving things the way that they did all those years ago. With no way of contacting each other through the years they had no idea of what could have been or if things could have worked between them.
Now that Red has popped back into Cheryl’s life, he’s not the man she was expecting. He’s now president of a Satan Devil’s MC and she knows that isn’t the life that she wants. She’s always been an upstanding citizen and never broken the rules and has no intention of starting now. The problem is that they have both lived with regrets for the past 15 years over what could have been. Cheryl deeply regrets the decision that she made about walking away and wonders if there’s any way that they can be together. Cheryl must decide If it’s worth it or if she should just give up all hope of him being the man that she wants him to be and just move on.
I fell in love with Red in the first book and loved everything that he stood for. Most would not find a redhead sexy but somehow Red was not only desirable but also a nice guy that would protect those that he loved at all costs. The first book left us on a cliffhanger as we wondered what was going to become of Red and Cheryl. Part 2 picked up right where the first book left off and immediately drew you back into the storyline.
I have loved everything that I have read by this author, and she never fails to disappoint. The characters are well-rounded, and you instantly fall in love with them. In book one we learned that neither Red, nor Cheryl, were perfect or flawless which makes them more believable as characters. In this book we are also introduced to Zeke who is a non-binary character. I fell in love with their character and admired their strength. The storyline is amazing and leaves you wanting to read right to the very end. This book is a must read!
