Publisher's Summary

Charlotte

Ever since I was a little girl, I've taken care of everyone around me, including my self-centered older sister, Anna. When her poor choices make us targets of the Devil's Rejects Motorcycle Club, I grab her, and we run like hell. A new city, a new job, a new life. It's almost perfect - and then I meet Ryker. He's gorgeous, rugged, and too cocky for his own damned good. But he's a biker - exactly the type of man I've been running from. I have no business getting involved with a man like him. Too bad I can't get him out of my head.

Ryker

As VP of the Kings of Korruption MC, I know all about violence and loss. In my world, getting involved with a woman never turns out well. Avoiding commitment isn't something I have to work at - it's just a way of life. Then I meet Charlotte. Drawn to her kindness and beauty, I know there's no place for her in my world. Finding Charlotte battered and bloody late one night, I go against my own beliefs, making it my mission to protect her. The Devils are out for blood, and it's Charlotte's they want. Maybe I can't keep her, but I will put my life on the line to keep her safe. If not, I face losing the only woman who's ever made me feel alive.

Easy listening

I think everyone has listened to their fair share of m/c books. Ryker is a pretty good one. Charlotte is on the run with her sister from an m/c and she swears she will never get mixed up with another club. Except that is just what happens. She lands the VP who is taken by her but just can't bring himself to admit it.

There is action and some suspense, Geri Glenn wrote a pretty good book. There just wasn't anything new about it. I do have to give credit for the length because for this type of drama, it was the perfect length. It didn't drag or drone on. I am excited to listen to Charlie's sisters story. I think there might be more meat there since she is a trouble maker.

Pippa Jayne was good. Her voice didn't make me want to keep listening or shut it off. There were a few times that she seemed a touch disingenuous. For that, I can't rate highly. Roger Wayne was the shining star of the book. His rough and gruff voice was meant for an m/c character.

love me some MC love

New author and new voices, I am glad I took a chance, I really enjoyed listening to this story. Tough alpha biker falls hard for the nurse and was fun following his struggle to stay away, silly man LOL Stryker is my new book boyfriend.
Charlie is so strong and kind-hearted, I can't believe she forgave her sister after what she has done, I could have slapped her sister for putting her in danger like that. The chemistry between Charlie and Ryker is off the chart and the build-up is very intense. As the story evolves we find out of their background, the hardships and you cannot help but fall in love a little more. They both deserved the HEA.
Looking forward to book 2.
Ms. Jayne and Mr. Wayne's voices are perfect for the story, they captivated my attention and was so engrossed in the story I could not stay away for long. The warmth heard in the voice Ms. Jayne gave Charlie was perfect for her temperament. And Ryker's voice... I AM IN LOVE!!! I will definitely check out their other narrations.

Loved this book!

This was a 5 Star book for me. The chemistry between the characters was off the charts hot. The storyline drew me from the beginning. This is my first book by Geri Glenn and I can't wait to get my hands in the rest of this series.

appearances aren't always what they seem

I loved Ryker and Charlotte's story. Ryker is a sexy biker and Charlotte is a palliative care nurse at the hospital where his club brother Smokey is dying, they are both attracted to each other but do nothing about it until thanks to Charlotte's sister Anna their world's are thrown together again on a wild ride involving a deranged rival club member set on collecting a debt, lies, deceit and and a slow burning passion for one another that will leave you swooning, breathless and wanting more.

Awesome book to listen to.

Would you consider the audio edition of Ryker to be better than the print version?

I love both but what I love most on listening to Audio s that you can carry on with life while listening to an Awesome Read ....

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ryker?

Loved the whole book but right after Ryker got to Charlie after she had been taken .....

What does Pippa Jayne and Roger Wayne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

There take on how the Charators come to life , how they see them as a voice .

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

Just after Ryker slept with Charlie then he pushed her away to protect her ... Always nice but so sad ...

Any additional comments?

Love the book / Series cannot wait for book two ....

Female narrator left me flat

The story was good, but I found myself skipping through the female narrator's chapters. Not enough emotion.

Nurse and biker!

This story about a hospice nurse who has had a very bad experience (thanks to her slutty sister) with a biker gang. They moved to get away from that gang, and when she's at work she has a new patient who's dying from cancer and happens to be from a different biker club. Scared and intimidated, she finally warms up to one of the bikers who is always visiting his club brother. Cue the bad guy coming to town and he goes Alpha on her to protect her, only who will protect her heart. Well done narration.

It was just okay

I kept trying to give this story a chance, but it didn't quite make it to 5 star rating. I felt that the lead female character was weak and whiny. There was just something missing from the story. Not my fav for sure....😤

Fizzled out

I think this had a great start, the to main characters bonded and clearly had great chemistry. I liked Charlotte's compassionate spirit and Ryker's strong connection to Charlotte's patient. He very quickly showed his vulnerable side. But this book quickly went awry for me. Ryker goes out of his way to deny his feelings for her, even after they had become intimate. Poor Charlotte was put in a crappy situation by her irresponsible sister and she was out in the care of someone who acts like he doesn't want her around. I found myself wondering he didn't let her stay at the clubhouse instead. All that chemistry from the first few chapters evaporated. The villain in the story was a bit of a one note; evil, entitled, sadistic, etc, however I did feel real fear for Charlotte. Overall, I think this was good but not great.

I really liked Roger Wayne's performance. This wasn't my first from him but he bought Ryker's character alive. Pippa did a decent job as well.

I cannot deal with Pippa Jayne as a narrator!

This book would have gotten 4 stars across the board had the female narrator had a better younger voice that didn't have the sounds of a lisp or whatever and I. an hear her breath and the sounds her mouth makes when she talks and all of the words with an s at the end are like nails on a chalk board when she says them. I had to just speed up the book or completely skip the book when it was her turn to read the book. That is how horrible her voice is for Audible books. I hate to be negative and say bad things about others but when it comes to Audible books you have got to have amazing narrators with out annoying voices and mouth sounds. otherwise it will ruin the books story. I really liked the man's voice though and the story was good but it should have and could have been so look much better with a better female narrator. I have to be honest. I want my credit back due to her voice. And I will not ever listen to another book if she is the narrator. Please take my advice and others. wish I would have known this before I even started the book.

Loved it

I loved this book when I read it and love it just as much now I can listen to it. I get just as captivated. Can not wait for the rest of the series to be on audible.
Highly recommend this book and series in either format or both.
Geri Glenn is a fantastic author.
