Growing up in a big family means things slip through the cracks.
My parents have never made me feel unwanted or unloved, but we aren’t always honest.
After all, they run the most notorious street crews in Ashburn Valley.

When their enemies took my brother’s life, everything changed.
We all coped differently, and no one would understand my need for taunting death.
They can’t find out I’ve been racing illegally on the streets instead of the track.

My mom and I are close, and she’s always supported my decisions.
It was no surprise to anyone when I came out as gay, and she said she’d always known.
I guess she can’t judge me since I have nine dads.

My best friend Luna Hendricks is the hottest girl I’ve ever laid eyes on.
Everyone says I’m breaking my own heart, but I can’t seem to let her go.
She doesn’t seem so straight when I finally get her under me and she begs for more.
No wonder her boyfriend hates me.

My name’s Riley Donovan, and I’m in love with my best friend.
Even I know good girls are bad girls that never got caught.

*This is a 150k word F/F, college aged, friends to lovers, dark romance. This book can be read as a standalone, but for the best reading experience I suggest reading the series in order.

Love the story line loved the main characters! Definitely a little vulgar and dark but it was a perfect read for what I was wanting! Excellent spice as well! Love the sapphic rep

So, I knew going in that Riley was going to push my buttons and absolutely chap the tan right off my khakis. She's so much like so many of the wildcards in her family, I knew she was going to stress me. It's a given with anything by Bond really, you're going to feel it. You're going to find yourself irrational, you're going to screech and bellow, and you're going to love every second of it.

I have never once been disappointed with this series so far or with it's preceding series, I knew I would love this book no matter how mad I got at Riley. I must say, I was not expecting to get equally and maybe even more so angry with Luna. That girl set me off a couple times. These two, how to explain...you know that DVD menu screen where the little logo bounces around and you finally scream the room down when it hits a corner? It's that. They are that little logo getting in their own way and being butts.

I love them. I'm honestly at a total loss for my favorite of the next gens now. I mean, I found myself partial to Maddox, but I think Bond has perfected pulling the rug out. These characters grow so quickly it's impossible to take one look and have an opinion. They live off the page and keep us dying for more.

I can't wait to see this hardback collection on my shelf!! 😍

I can't believe it, but I might like these second generation books even more than the first. I love how much the parents are still involved but the kids are awesome.

This was the first full on FF book I've read. I wasn't sure going into it that it'd be my thing but I loved it. I love everything about Riley and Luna. I also appreciated a book full of action, angst, and laughs after book 1 had me bawling right from the start. The broken heart is still there but I'm slowly recovering along with all of the Donovans. Can't wait for more books in this series!

This is my first ff and it was good. I think if it had just been them two I would have struggled with it. Not that it was a problem just couldn’t connect with them. I loved how the relationships changed each of them.

Perfectly Opposite ❤️

Riley, daughter to the notorious family brought to light in the author's Watch Me Burn series. Losing herself in one night stands and alcohol, feeling the rift widening with her best friend Luna. Angry at herself for continuously hurting Luna, angry at herself for being in love with her best friend.

Luna dating Stanley, low life extraordinaire, finds herself immersed in the comfort of her best friend, Riley.

Two completely opposite people, that are perfect for each other in every way 💋💕

On the sidelines of their relationship is Riley's need for an adrenaline high. The lies she continues to let flow, digging herself deeper as she is proverbially dragged into dodgy illegal activities.

Rifts between the siblings start causing the family to fall apart as well, leaving more openings for their siblings and friends when they get their book in this series or crossover series.

Just like in the first book of this series, I was invested in one of the sub characters, Evans for Book 1 and Ander in this one ❣️ However, I am loving the drama in all the families ❤️

Riley Donovan has been in love with her straight good girl best friend Luna for years but she’s got a boyfriend. Riley is just biding her time with one night stands, street racing, drinking and pummeling people with her baseball bat.
She doesn’t take crap from anyone even her crazy wild family.
If you haven’t read the first generation series Watch Me Burn I highly recommend it. That series brought this author to me and I have loved everything she’s put out.
I’m loving the second generation and getting glimpses of Riley’s mom Rory and her sexy bunch of men! These stories have a wonderful crew of characters that flow in and out bringing a little edge to what’s going on.
This is the first strictly FF book I have read. I liked that there was meat to this story along with the steamy sexy bits between Riley and Luna.
When Luna starts seeing Riley in a different light she’s timid and nervous because she’s straight but she loves Riley. She’s confused but wants to see where they go but Riley is keeping secrets from her and even her own family that could get her killed. There’s lots of push and pull between Riley and Luna, Riley’s family and the new friends Riley has picked up along the way.
This took me for a ride, it had me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next.

There are some triggers in this that some may find disturbing so read those before jumping in.

Pretty Little Psycho is book 2 of the From the Ashes series. This is Riley’s story of how to be from a rich crime family and feared for your name but an honest, softie at heart.

Rilke has 4 loves in her life: her best friend, her cars, her family and the secret she can’t share with anyone. The one person she holds dear is the one she can’t really cling to. Her family is splitting apart piece by piece. Her cars are taking a punishment. And her life would be forfeit if anyone ever found out her secret…no one would understand and it’s totally against the rules!

Definitely read in sequence or you’ll loose the essence of the story.

Yet another fantastic read from RE Bond. I love how her stories are very character driven and you really get to know them. At first I found Luna frustrating. It was hard seeing the daughter of Archer and Lexie being so dumb and gullible. She eventually smartens up though while still maintaining being sweet and a bit naive. Riley was just pure awesome the whole book. So many great supporting characters that I hope we get more of. Awesome read.

Pretty Little Psycho is one of my All time Favorites.

Riley and Luna's relationship is one of the best written ones I've read. They've been through up and downs but at the end they were ment to be. Luna is a character that shows about finding themselves and learning about your needs/desires but also true affection and how to give balance and love to your partner in equal ways. Riley herself I just love so incredibly much the fact how strongly build in multiple ways she is also towards each other and the love for Luna how she learns to express it and receiving it in return, makes this books so incredible.

Luna is an incredible character honestly and in not a single situation did I thought of her as annoying or something like that. Her situation reminded me a bit of Jades story ( surely I can't compare it and won't because Jades been through so much and it's on a different level of trauma) but the relationship she had with Stanley gave me a few vibes of Jades book.
At first Luna never really gotten to explore what she wants in the bedroom and well her kinks because she wasn't able to communicate with Stanley about that, Stan is well and fully an as*hole and the insecuretis she got were so reasonable, like the fact that people compared her to her older sister or themselves ( like penny) body wise made her insecure about her body even though she is perfect and thinking she never be enough for somebody because of the way she got treated. And also that Stan was so manipulative and treating Luna just for his needs showed so much why she acted the way she did. The fact that she wasn't able at first to leave Stanley knowing the relationship made her miserable didn't made her weak in my eyes it showed that she was afraid of leaving, being alone and ending with nothing, thinking she isn't enough for anyone even though for the right person she is because they basically would just want Luna as a person and also letting go of something she tried to make work even though, knowing it couldn't because reasons like Stan cheating... and also knowing she craved something with/from Riley but also not knowing if it would last and if she would gain more out of it or losing her best friend and what she had with Riley completely if it wouldn't have worked out. But through time Luna was able to voice what she wants,needs but also can give as a person and where her limit's are. And the tension and heat in the smut scene's between Riley and Luna were freaking incredible.

And what I also loved about Luna is that through the book she shows and learns more about herself and her sexuality, needs/wants. Like she isn't a Lesbian as she also said when she eyed half naked women in Wet Dreams, she didn't feel the need or want to have something sexually with them. She also isn't fully straight not being completely comfortable with guys and also because ( well Riley is her Girlfriend an not a guy). So neither does she really fit in the bisexual or straight category in my opinion and that I loved that she is with someone together regardless of the gender and the fact that in her relationship with Riley she got equality, she is with Riley mostly of her personality, the connection she doesn't have with anybody else and the fact that Riley is her safe place just as much as Luna is Riley's safe place in their world. So yeah I loved that we fully got to see Luna finding herself and what she actually wants and craves with her lover (Riley).

Riley is so incredible and she isn't just a girl with anger issues and craving women all the time, No. She is the person who kinda built a safe place for her friends and that is with in echother. Through the book we see the loners and the others without a connection for each other first but Riley is mainley the reason why her friends slowly were able to build connections with one another and being able to spend their time with people who share same hobbies, having more opportunities and also just enjoying each other's company. Through the whole book she helps her friends in need and never thinks less of them because she could with lots of money and bragging, No! She basically shows them a safe place and that is within her and in her whole friends/family group.

Within the story Riley also finally gets to experience love and making love with somebody she loves. And not just meaningless smut with no fully connection behind it. Also having intimacy with someone she communicates with on a deeper level and going after her wants/needs but also being able to give her partner the possibility to communicate about what they actually like and want. She is able to make her partner feel equal and not less ( and not many people can actually do that in my opinion). The feeling of protection, acceptance Riley showed towards others is something I adore so much.

It was also well written about Riley's anger issues, especially at the beginning because you can see so much the want for Luna is. She wants all of Luna. But also the hurt/frustration seeing her loving someone else at first. And Riley slowly thought she could never have Luna and trys to let her go but trying to letting something go you so badly want, hurts sometimes more than bumping your big toe on a damn chair.

Riley's adrenaline rush and the love she basically had for Street racing was so well explained and also how she basically grew out of the Street racing but not racing itself, knowing why she had to. Not just because of the danger. The fact how Riley handled her demons, with the fear but also not really the fear of death but not wanting to actually die was juts insanely good written.

And I also loved the fact that Riley's friends didn't just feel like side characters for me, they made the story complete. Like the friendship with Ander, she gave Ander so much just as he did for her, like having her back and respecting eachother as people, regardless of what other had to say about they friendship. They both basically made their own pictures of eachother and building a stronger friendship like that.

Also the relationship between Riley and her siblings was well written, Riley and Beckett sure are hotheaded and not seeing eye to eye in certain situations. But the trust and family bond they have is just beautiful. I also loved that we got to know about the path Marla takes, and it honestly was so we'll explained that it was easy to kinda understand the reasons why she decides to take her complete, differently own path in live.

And one of the last things I insanely loved, is the interactions between Rory and Riley. They mother and daughter bond is so special and Riley being able to read her mother differently than others was just beautiful.

Riley takes your heart, she is incredibly funny her sarcasm and humor freaking awesome and also seeing how strong she just is and so different from others but just being perfect in her way in my eyes.
Luna the gentel soul but also strong women makes your heart melt. The self learning and confidence you get from her in this book is just insanely good.

So yeah the author created an incredible,perfect book that got my damn heart and is highly recommend to read. 💙 And sry if I wrote things that didn't make sense or my English hehe, English is not my first language but I'm trying.

This book was fantastic, loved seeing Riley’s story.
This book takes you on an amazing journey, highs, lows, blood and death.
Loved the FF side to this story too.
It’s written with such detail and emotion I was honestly in tears at one point and laughing out loud in other parts.
I loved seeing the different characters that are basically orphans coming together to make their own family. Their struggles and their love of cars and racing.
Overall yet another fantastic book from this author. Can’t wait to read more if this series

I waited so long for this one, and I'm happy to report Riley and Luna's story was excellent! Full of action, character driven, angst, revenge, perfect amount of sizzle. I loved how respectful Riley was toward Luna and didn't care if it affected her playgirl reputation. And the author did a great job setting us up for book 3. I definitely recommend reading Pretty Little Psycho.
