Publisher's summary

She's been a good girl too long - now she's ready to be bad. And on the back of a Harley is the best way to get there.

Elizabeth Williams, a single, small-town librarian, knows she doesn't belong in the notorious biker bar, Perdition. Especially not alone, in a frilly pink bridesmaid dress. But after watching her best friend marry her ex-boyfriend, she's ready to drink her cares away. And break out of the good girl mold she's been stuck in most of her life.

Ryker, a member of the Four Horsemen MC, can't take his eyes off the gorgeous, curvy redhead at his club's bar. He suddenly has a taste for pink and he's going to get him some. Just for one night, of course, because Ryker doesn't do relationships. Ever.

One night turns into more - until a wild party and a pair of naked blondes get in the way. Now she's ready to run, and his pride demands he let her go. But when Elizabeth's ex begins to stalk her, Ryker realizes he'll do anything to keep her safe. Can a rough, tough biker hang onto both his pride and his woman?

I am sorry, I wanted to like this story but it just wasn’t memorable for me. I only finished it a day ago and I had to play back some of it to write this review. And that has never happened to me before.
Really the only thing that saved this story in my mind were the narrators, they kept me listening.
I just didn’t find it a very in-depth book.

I did like that Ryker kept calling her by his nick name for her, I loved that.
Elizabeth’s ex, was a grade A douche! Just saying.

Yes it’s a short and I didn’t feel like it was missing anything vital, maybe it was just me and I didn’t connect with the characters. It wasn’t badly written or anything.

Enjoyable Story but a little far fetched!

This book was ok. Not bad but not anything that stands out. I think if there had been a little more build up in the beginning I would have enjoyed it more. I don't like insta-love because I just can't feel the love between the characters. Besides that I enjoyed the storyline and the sex for sure. I didn't love Elizabeth, she felt like a contradictions throughout the entire book. I think you can either be kind of innocent and reserved or you aren't, acting like you are 1 minute and then doing sexual things you've never done with a guy you know about 2 days just doesn't fit that personality. If we were talking about regular sex things yes, I can see that happening but somethings a shy reserved girl just doesn't do with some one she doesn't even know. But that is just my thoughts. I will be continuing on with the series because I think it has potential to be great.

The narration was awesome! I love these 2 narrators and they are the reason I bought this series to try.

I REALLY TRIED TO LIKE IT BUT.....

Short books don't usually tempt me but this had two things going for it... Bikers and the narrators so I took the chance..... but quickly regretted it. There was no depth to the characters, the plot was stupid, I didn't feel the sizzles or chemistry between Ryker and Elizabeth and I didn't like either of them. Elizabeth had been to her ex boyfriend and ex best friend's wedding and, wanting to drown her sorrows, she stops at the notoriously rough Biker Bar.... alone - as if! Where she's hit on by a sexy handsome smooth talking Biker. And, just like that, the quiet vanilla Librarian becomes Ryker's next piece of ass.... because he likes asses and the Hellions (Bar whores) that flock to him. But he wants a change and Elizabeth is all kinds of that... however it isn't long before he corrupts and changes her into his badass biker bitch.

There's so much sex in this short book that it doesn't leave much room for anything else... and Ryker's focus always seems to be on Elizabeth's ass... by spanking, plugging and getting it on his bike... or should I say over it!! There's a few secondary characters including her messed up ex and his stalking Elizabeth causes a wee bit of angst and drama. There's also angst caused by Ryker's manwhore arrogant attitude of "your mine but I can f whoever I like" which doesn't go down well with Elizabeth and she makes her point but the woman's weak-willed really. Ryker's a dislikeable dirty talking dick and Elizabeth is putty in his arms - and she's welcome to him. Third person dual POV's and even the great narration couldn't save this one for me.

Worth a credit? I love MC books.... they have plenty of sexy dirty talking Bikers, they're hot and there's always a good plot.... but, in comparison, this book sadly missed its mark and was nothing like them. So, IMO, not a creditworthy or dollar worthy listen.

Great performance

I really enjoyed Kai and Wen's performance in this book! They really, not only did a great job with the southern accents, but they also really performed the parts. I wasn't a Riker fan. But, the performance by the narrators was really well done.

Great read!!

Seriously one of the best mc books I have ever experienced especially when Kai and wen are narrating. I absolutely loved it when Ryker finally beat the shit out of Carl the stupid ass.

Cute but not my kind of book

This book is a romantic, bit of comedy and a small amount of violence some soft bdsm.

Elizabeth Williams aka pinky a librarian has not had a bad life but when it comes to her love life, this day she said fuck it all. She stopped at a biker bar after attending her ex's wedding, whom he married her best friend. She is all good girl, but is not looking for more than a one night stand, but one night is not enough for this biker. With help from his mother and a friend, he is beginning to see there is more beyond his world, but is it worth it.

Freddie Mercury aka Ryker has been born and raised in the biker life, he has known nothing else and he will do anything for his family. But when a night with a sexy librarian tilts his world he is not going to let go, what ever it is they have. All of a sudden he find himself wanting no one else but her and now he is going to risk a lot to protect her from her ex and ever other man that keeps looking at her.

I have to admit, it was a good book, although I could not connect with the characters. There are some funny parts but over all it was good, just not my type of book, sorry.

Good listening

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

This was a good story enhanced by narrator. Not a dark gross mc novel. More about the romance

What other book might you compare Sweet Perdition to and why?

Really didn't get into the gritty outlaw side. No rough harsh treatment of women just for the sake of it being an mc novel. Story is more about Alpha male biker meets girl and how that relationship develops. The girl develops her sass. Really good.

How could the performance have been better?

It was good. Did not want it to end

What character would you cut from Sweet Perdition?

None

Any additional comments?

I like this. Could not stop listening until the end.

not a fan of the narrators

I love the story and followed up the rest of the books on my Kindle but their southern accents are so annoying. the guy sounds like he's trying to do an impression of Nicolas Cage in Con Air but not a good impression.

Sweet Perdition: Four Horsemen MC, Book 1

What made the experience of listening to Sweet Perdition the most enjoyable?

the narrators were AWESOME making this story come alive

What other book might you compare Sweet Perdition to and why?

to me they are all unique soI can on;y say ths book is so good

What does Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

they always live the parts if it is the accents or emotion or both , Reading just doesnot convey the story like listening to them in audio

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

when they were at the fair , Stryker finally got a taste of his own medicine

Any additional comments?

this author did a great job with this book, you see how they come together 2 worlds collide, and Kai Kennicott , Wen Ross were the perfect ones to bring the book to life
