Clash
Bitter and pissed off…

Those are the best words to describe me after everything in my club fell apart, and the rest of my brothers put their faith in someone else stepping in as club Prez after Sabbath’s demise. That spot was rightfully mine, but nobody else saw it that way. Now I’m forced to play nice, while the one man who took all our fun away, runs the club with the woman who was supposed to be “our” Ol’ Lady by his side.

But they say everything happens for a reason, and my reason just happened to crawl out from behind a dumpster, along with her adorable son that stole my heart. I never expected to fall for a young mom on the run, but that’s exactly what I do, and now that I’ve met Gina and Alex, I vow to protect them at all costs, even if it means keeping them a secret from my own club, and eradicating whatever skeletons have them running for their lives just so I can call them mine.

Read it in one sitting!!!

Holy Crap on a cracker, CLASH is seriously a great fast moving MC read from Author Quinn Ryder. Easy to say that I absolutely loved it and yep, read it in one sitting.

It’s important to point out that CLASH is the starter book for a spin off series following on from Ms Ryder’s Lewd Outlaws MC non-conventional Reverse Harem (RH) Novella Series, and it is highly recommended to have read them first. Personally I’ve not read them and for me it wasn’t necessary because I found that Ms Ryder adequately covered off the dynamics of the previous books and the fractured relationships between the brothers that had been left behind as a result. I’ll not cover them here, but believe me when I say that angry, bitter and twisted indeed described Clash, until he caught sight of Gina and Alex. Even then, his feelings to time to catch up with him.

He was such a dream, and not a bad dream at that!! Simply put, he was a good and honourable man who did bad things as part of the MC. He treated Gina and Alex like gold, and was actually easily hurt when she judged him according to the perceived role of all MC’s in society, and that he was just a man who got angry or frustrated even if never violent to women or children. Unfortunately for him, Gina was running for hers and Alex’s lives from an abusive and dangerous relationship so this bode very ill for him indeed. My heart broke for him.

Having had the strength and impetus to finally run from her abusive husband, Gina and her young son Alex had left on the spur of the moment leaving everything behind. She realised that once he’d turned his fists to their young son, she would do anything to protect him. I truly admired her strength. She was the right parts suspicious and desperate for help when Clash offered, whereas Alex was an entirely naive open book and I was surprised he was so trusting given his father’s behaviour or perhaps it was the desperation with which he was seeking male approval. He was such a neat kid and either way, it worked for me.

The secondary character who also helped Gina and Alex was Bess, a straight up and brutally honest older lady. She was as funny as a fight and I absolutely admired her character. 😂😂😂 I want to be her when I grow up, and at my age I already live according to her motto; "I’m just too old to have a filter, and got tired of being censored years ago.” Wise words to live by!

Our MC secondary characters were all good men badly affected by the events that happened within the RH series. The current Prez Snyder finally won the heart of Shasta leaving the other men wondering how to deal with the new relationship dynamics handed out to them. As we know Clash was angry AF, and Wasp who featured heavily here was adrift, still in love with Shasta. I wonder what Ms Ryder has in store for him, but if the synopsis at the end of CLASH is anything to go by, it’s going to be a doozy!!!

Seriously, even if you haven’t read Author Quinn Ryder’s RH series that precedes CLASH, I still highly recommend CLASH as your next MC must-read! Even better if you love to read RH, then hit that first. Either way, I’m sure you’ll love this book. 5-Fast-Moving-MC-Stars! 🔥☠️🖤

Clash, the VP of the Lewd Outlaws MC, is a very bitter and jealous man. He is bitter because Shasta picked Snyder over the members of the club including himself. But he's not jealous of that fact. What he is jealous of is the fact that Snyder and Shasta are getting their HEA. Clash meets Alex in a gas station convenience store where Alex is trying to steal some things. Clash helps Alex out and pays for the things and then asks where his mom is at. Alex takes Clash around back of the store, behind a large dumpster and large box. This is where Clash meets Gina, who happens to be running from her ex-husband and she and Alex have been staying on the streets of Austin, TX. Clash takes them in gives them food and new clothes and lets them stay at his place. Sometimes bad things happen to good people and sometimes people that you think are bad aren't. Can Gina learn to trust again and to at least be friends with Clash? You can find out by grabbing a copy of this book by Quinn Ryder. It's a fabulous book and the first in this new series.

Gina and clash story

Gina is on the road with her little boy living on the streets with no money food or shelter trying to make sure Alex her little boy is ok she then meets clash after he helps Alex when he attempts to steal food clash takes Gina and Alex to his home but Gina un trusting of men due to her past makes thing more difficult and clash angry and hurt feeling from his past also makes things hard and then there are many things that keep getting in their way but clash falls hard for Gina and there is something about Alex that wants to make him change his ways things are not going so well at the club and this is also making clash lash out and even though he is vp thinking of leaving but when Gina is in need of help the club stand by clash and help.

This is my first book by this author and I did enjoy it also frustrated me with both of main characters attuides I think it would of flow better If taken down a peg or two and made them a little softer towards each other

This book is an amazing start to the series. Quinn has out done herself again and I loved every minute of this book. It had all the feels to it from highs to lows and everything in between.

In Clash we get to meet Gina and her son Alex and of course the sexy Clash. Gina is on the run from her abusive husband and she has her son with her. She is living on the streets living day to day when her son gets hungry and goes into the gas station to steal some food when he meets Clash. Clash is instantly intrigued by the boy and asks where his mother is at when the boy takes him to the back of the gas station to a box where they are living Clash instantly steps up to help the single mother out.

This is where the story gets good and Clash and Gina go back and forth and some things happen and they are separated for a while but then they get back with each other and things start to get crazy from there.

This is a MUST READ BOOK! I loved every moment of it and I know you will to so go on out and get this book and start it like ASAP!

Oh my gosh Quinn! You have written another great book. I loved how the big bad Clash is brought to his knees by Gina and her son Alex. For a man who dislikes kids, he sure has a soft spot for Alex and I loved seeing that soft side of him. He is still an a**, but he wouldn’t be Clash if he wasn’t. 🤣🤣 The connection and attraction Clash and Gina have for each other is strong. I was taken on some rollercoaster rides with what happened to Gina. My heart hurt for her and Alex. Once Clash meets them, he does everything he can to keep them safe. I loved this story and cannot wait for Wasp. I have a feeling it’s going to be soooo good. Another must read with a great storyline and great characters. I just loved Alex and his personality. He is one cute little boy that has everyone wrapped around his fingers.

Loved this book! I'm not sure I am liking this MC but I know they are rebuilding after the reign of Sabbath. My man Clash met his match with Gina and her son was the whip cream he needed! I enjoyed the manw*ore Clash was. Oh, but the MAN he is becoming for Gina and Alex (:chef's kiss: and :swoon:). He is still an a*hole lol This book had it all for me, emotion, angst, character growth, roller-coaster twists and turns! Hints of club bunny drama and prospect intrigue to come! (Oh MY!!) I cannot wait to see where the author takes this club. I few members need adjustments because it is a new non-Sabbath era for the Lewds!!

Clash & Gina

Clash melted my heart seeing him interact with Alex. I know he was torn up over Shasta, but once the right women came along he'd realize she was ment to be with Snyder. Finding Alex and Gina thawed Clash's frozen heart and opened it up to a love he didn't know he needed. I loved that he was able to open himself up and share his last with her. I can't wait to see what the future holds for the 3 of them.

Awesome book

I loved this first book in hopefully a new series. Clash was a jerk with a huge heart. Gina had trust issues the size of Texas. I got a little bit upset with her attitude, this man saves her and she calls him all kinds of names. He was truly a rude jerk but she was kind of dramatic. Alex her boy was adorable. I would love to read the next one, hopefully her sister and Wasp!

Clash is a biker with some serious pent up frustration and resentment. Gina is an abused wife and a momma bear that needs a reminder that she is worthy. I pretty much couldn't put this book down and power read it in a day. The clubhouse if full.of people that I cannnot wait to find out more about and see where their stories go. If little Alex has his way, he will be have all of them tied around his little fingers in record time. Do yourself a favor and delve into the world of the Lewd Outlaws.

book 1

I totally fell in love with Clash and Gina but little Alex…. Kid is adorable.
It’s a refreshing change for the MMC to have insta love and the MFC is on and off the fence. Some of the secondary characters peaked my interest too, Wasp and Bessie

Well, First I have to say that Quinn Ryder has definetly started us off with sa spectacular book! I had a love/hate kinda of feeling with Clash in the Lewd Outlaw series. He even got on my nerves little bit tbh. However this time he has stolen my heart. I wasn't sure he had a heart but... all I am saying right now. This book is packed with intense scenes, emotions, heart stopping moments and chemistry off the charts. My feelings changed once I read this quote from Clash to Gina....
“Don’t you see, Gina? I can’t let you go. I haven’t been the same since you and Alex turned my life upside down. You’re a part of my soul whether you want to be or not.” After this he had my heart! Highly recommend this book. I can not wait to get my hands on the next book! 5 stars for me.

Clash is an angry, miserable man after everything that happen with the club and his lady "friend." When he meets a single mom and her son, he's threw off balance and he takes another journey he wasn't expecting. Quinn is a master story teller! I loved Clash! Don't wanna say to much, to give it away but this was an amazing book!

Quinn did an outstanding job in this book.
There is a lot of action, drama, chaos, this book is a page turner from the first sentence to the last word. Clash comes off hurt, mad and cold but once he meets Gina and her son Alex his world changes.

Oh hell yes Clash comes in like a wrecking ball swinging in this. He's pissed and bitter in the beginning given what happened with the club and a certain female. But then by chance he finds himself in a whole other situation when he crosses paths with Gina and her son. I think this was a turning point for him yet he hadn't quite grasped it yet. I really liked how the storyline weaved in the single mom concept and how that unraveled the MMC into putting them back together. It's an exceptional story, one I was quite taken with.

When we last left off with the Lewd Outlaws the club had blown up from the inside out. Shasta the Prez's ol lady got her revenge on how Sabbath treated her, some of the members fell in love and when she chose someone else it left several bitter and pissed off. We get to learn more on Clash as he tries to move on and find the one he's meant to be with. Loved the characters, different from where this all started. Really loved Gina and her son Alex looking forward to Wasps story. Really good story

WOW, EEP & HOLY MC ROMANCE. CLASH TOOK ME FOR ONE WILD & UNEXPECTED RIDE. GET REVVED UP & READ THIS BOOK. 5-🌟

Homelessness, attempted shoplifting, humor and hope bring three unlikely people together in a heartwarming, funny and beautifully written romance that ranks this read as a favorite for 2024 for me. I've read it 3 times.. Oh yes I did!

Clash, is a very growly, hot tempered, mouthwatering and seriously sexy VP of The Lewd Outlaws MC. He's a biker with an uncanny affinity to guess a woman's size. Hilarious. He sports tons of tattoos, endless muscles and a mega chip on his shoulder. Misplaced jealousy and bitterness makes for a very growly biker whose long ride on his Harley sets him on a course for the bumpiest and most needed ride of his life.

Gina Elias, a beautiful yet desperate wife and mom who escapes in a powerful, heart stopping moment from her disturbingly demeaning and sickenly abusive ex (I never wanted to junk kick a character as much as I wanted to junk kick him… Just saying.) with her adorable four year old little boy Alex who loves Skittles, SpongeBob and is never short on words.

Alex stole my heart. He's a funny, inquisitive little man who has no filter. He loves his mother with everything he has. Their relationship is really something else. I absolutely love the way his character was written. He was pure joy wrapped up in neverending stories, innocence, honesty, humor and love.

Now on the streets, hungry, cold and filthy, Gina and Alex struggle to survive. That is until fate steps in and a grumpy outspoken biker saves the day. Happily ever after right? They ride off into the sunset right? Ha! If only their love story was that easy...

Can this troubled young woman and her son be exactly what this sexy biker needs? Can this woman who wants a better life for her and her son take a chance on a biker? Well, it's a wild ride for sure. So, hop on the back, strap your helmet on, hold on tight and get ready for one wild ride in finding out.

A cop with a grudge, an ax to grind and a score to settle adds to the list of troubles for Gina and Clash.

Gina's ticket out gets stolen and Clash will do anything to get it back to her. But there is a bigger price to pay when she blames him.

Rock bottom hits. A complete and utter sense of loneliness, desperation and failure seeps into your very core. You stop to look around. Hoping you'll find some direction and the cold hard realization that you truly have nowhere to go and no one to turn to is the hardest slap of reality to Gina's face. Especially with a little boy in toe.

Enter Bess. An endearing, downright witty old woman who proudly talked like a foul mouthed sailor (I couldn't get enough of her. Could be that I have an affinity as well for the f-bomb and curse words), helps Gina and Alex... and Clash. She will surprise you at every turn. She ranks as one of my top ever supporting characters for me. Everyone should have a Bess in their life.

Something isn't right. Danger lurks close by. The Dismembered Crows MC, a rival MC is wreaking havoc. And it's only a matter of time that havoc strikes too close to those you love.

Then the unthinkable happens and the world as you knew it changes. Fear unlike anything you've felt before hits you when your freedom is snatched away in a heartbeat and your life is knee deep in peril.

Shock sinks in when you realize the evil doers, (who those evil doers are, I'm not saying but there is no shortage of them in this book) have plans of the most heinous kind.

Help comes in the littlest of ways. But will it be too late? I will say this, karma can be a real b!tch but oh so satisfying. Just like the highly emotional climactic and most perfect ending. One word to describe this karma is OUCH! I was fist bumping the air with total abandon.

My favorite line in the book: "My lady basement was a total flood zone right now.". Loved that.

I love author Quinn Ryder's writing style. She sure knows how to pen a MC Romance and Clash did not disappoint. I highly recommend this amazing, riveting, action packed romance. I'll end this review by saying Clash took me on one wild & unexpected ride.

GET REVVED UP & READ THIS BOOK. 5-🌟

Well what can I say,except Clash has definitely turned a corner from being the brash,take what he wants meathead,to the caring,flirty (still lol) guy whose hardened heart surrounded by mile high walls is softened from the moment he sees Gina,and the sweetest kid Alex.
Gina has lived a hellish life courtesy of her ex,and she ran,needing to get away,but into a world of leather,chrome,and danger but the difference is,Clash vowed to protect what meant the most to him in this world. I loved every minute of this,and I'm beyond excited that my favourite "sting in the tail" is up next! Lady Ryder has excelled herself once again,letting me into her Lewd Outlaw world,and not wanting to leave.
Five stars!

Y’all, Quinn Ryder has outdone herself with this one!! Clash drove me batty at times during the Lewd Outlaws MC series so I wasn’t sure if I’d like him in the end but boy was I wrong. The man totally won me over and then some. Now I can’t wait to read Wasp next. 🖤🔥🧸🔥🖤

My favorite quote from Clash

“Don’t you see, Gina? I can’t let you go. I haven’t been the same since you and Alex turned my life upside down. You’re a part of my soul whether you want to be or not.”
