Ride With Beckett
What more could a woman want than an engine with one hundred Horse Power between her legs?
Maybe an older man that knows how to use it?
Who knew that after my parents sent me to college, I would return to my small town and overhear my dad arranging a marriage—for me? To a man at least ten years older than me and from a motorcycle club.
Does that even happen in the twenty first century?
Being a Daddy’s girl, I know just what to do to get out of this ridiculous idea.
Plan Cry.
Plan Beg.
Plan Marry the guy long enough for my dad to get what he wants and then run away.
Then I see him and the last thing on my mind is running away. He grows on me like a vine wrapping my heart. and now I can’t wait to straddle his bike and feel the power of this man and his machine.
When I begin to dream of riding off into the sunset, will his motive for marrying me destroy not only me but my family?

Secrets, plans and blackmail that took years to fall into place and only a few weeks to take a different fork in the road. Beckett sees Tessa at a country bar and although he is attracted, he knows she is too young for him.
As the story progresses, it becomes more apparent that nothing is superficial and there is more at stake than just age.
I always feel sated when I have read a book from this author and look forward to the next.

A great novella read! Are you looking for a quick story to tide you over, do not pass this one up. Small town, MC lite, plenty of spice, and an arranged marriage….
You read that right, and this is the first surprise you will encounter. Beckett and Tessa bring the banter and the heat. It is a quick read, but there is substance and a story.
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

Good read but didn't really like Tessa at the start. Beckett is the bad boy biker and Tessa is the country club princess. Thankfully Tessa improves enough to be semi likeable and Beckett becomes swoon worthy.

I absolutely loved this MC novella! Short, sweet, with so much great storyline that it felt like a regular length novel. Beckett is part of an MC club and Tessa just graduated college. Somehow their very different lives collide when they find themselves in an arranged marriage. Great read!

I couldn't care
I just could not care about either character. I found myself skimming though the most of this book. I found it thankfully short. Shirley

Gosh we LOVE Kristin and her books! This one is no different! It took us on a wild ride right from the beginning! The country club nickname was just *swoon*!! Tessa is a daddy's girl to her core but when he arranges a marriage for her and sex is off he table with the hot as hell biker...her dad is mistaken! But Beckett is hiding a secret and watching him try to toe the line was very sweet!
This is a quick read as it is a novella but make sure to check out his twin brothers book- Bourbon and Brawn!!

Beckett Landry was due his very own book. And it couldn’t be any better that he ends up with the twin soul of the girl he thought he loved all those years ago. But Vanessa had always been meant for his actual twin, Navy SEAL, Beau. Don’t get me wrong he still loves “V” immensely he’s just no longer in love with her. However, she saved his life and got him the help he needed when he was feeling lost and alone. He felt that once the third wheel came he would lose his brother which he kinda did. And he had seen Vanessa first but she fell for Beau and his outgoing personality over his more quiet introverted ways.
So, when everything went sideways after graduation when Beau thought he caught him kissing V all hell broke loose but years went by the brothers made peace once Beckett got them back together and saved their lives. The brothers were able to have a relationship. Because he was able to tell Beau and V that he worked undercover for the ATF. However, the five-year job as the head of an MC club was now coming to a head and he was looking toward leaving the club and the ATF department.
Yet, this last deal turns out differently than expected he meets the most unlikely person he thought it would ever be, his future bride. Here’s the thing her dad is elbows-deep in a hot mess of bad and the head of a much bigger and badder club than he could begin to think about. And he needs in-with the docks and the shipments to certain ports where they go to transport goods. Enter Beckett. Her dad knows he is related to Beau Landry of Barron’s Bourbon, that he’s married to V, and that she’s the heiress to the empire.
Out with the MC the night before he meets Tessa’s father he sees Tessa out having fun dancing and drinking with her friend Serita. She right away caught Beckett’s eye. Her free zest for life reminded him of Nessa and he couldn't take his eyes off her. Not because it was V he wanted no this girl was someone who had piqued his interest. In thirteen years, not one woman made him stare like she did. Her legs were gorgeous. So, the next day when he is to meet for dinner at Mr. Hatton’s home, Tessa is there. He is told he will be marrying Tess, who is against the arrangement but hands off, which he already knows will be a tall order.
Let's just say she does not like her daddy’s hands-off approach. So, she does everything in her power to entice Beckett. A man can only handle so much. He does introduce her to Beau and V because he has to warn him about what will be going down. Allowing him to understand that he will have the full protection of the ATF for him and the family. Tessa fit in perfectly with her. Beau did warn him when said and done Tessa might not like that he was the one trying to take down her dad, and using her. Beck said it wasn’t even like that her dad put her in the mix.
He just fell for her. Then, when he took her to the club, they called her, Country Club, and she fit in there, too. Not unlike how she fit in her high society circles, too. He worried because she was so much younger than him and that he was pulling her into a lifestyle she may not want. The way I looked at it, it had to be better than her dad’s. It was so good to see Beckett truly happy and at the end, you begin to wonder because of the way it played out. But it wasn’t his fault he was undercover. So, good.

I loved finding out about Beckett!
Welcome back to Kissing Springs with Author Kristin Lee’s book RIDE WITH BECKETT. This MC read is very much on the light end of the scale, but one that I enjoyed very much. While RIDE WITH BECKETT is the first book in the multi-author series, Ride With Me, it fits nicely within Ms Lee’s own character created world where we meet others from her previous books. I’m that reader who loves to know about secondary characters and wonder where their own heads are at, so getting to read Beckett’s story after meeting him as Beau’s wayward twin brother in BOURBON & BRAWN was especially satisfying.
To see Beau own his actions and move past his inner demons and recover from a debilitating depression, in turn repairing his sibling relationship was just magic. Love and forgiveness between them was as strong as it was at the end of BRAWN, yet RIDE WITH BECKETT still stood perfectly as a stand-a-lone. Now, Beau is older, strong, honourable, one helluva sexy beast, and the growly Prez of The Lost Souls MC. Now, he’s being co-erced into an arranged marriage by the Prez of another local MC.
Undervalued by her father, Tessa was everything that Beau found perfect.....
““Tessa, you are what every man wants.” He drops his head. “Beautiful.” He presses a soft kiss against the corner of my mouth. “Strong.” Beckett’s lips hover over mine before he gently takes my top lip between his. “Sassy.” Then he sucks my bottom lip between his. My panties are already damp from kisses .... Shocked, I pull away. ... “I’m not done.” He growls in a whisper, “Legs that make a man ....”
...and that is just the part of the passage that I can share in such polite review company!!! Yep, lets just add the ‘he fell first’ trope to the ‘age-gap’ and ‘arranged marriages’ list that is already going on.
Tessa was put into an untenable situation without warning or consultation by her father, and with Beckett being such a delicious older man, she was in no mood to deny herself, so she made the situation her own. I just loved her for it. Thing is, while my heart celebrated this perfect romantic love of theirs, I knew the other shoe HAD to drop. And when it did – I was gutted for them both.
RIDE WITH BECKETT was a beautifully romantic novella with a side of suspense where I thought everything wrapped up rather conveniently and quickly, but of course it would being this is a romantic novella, even as I wondered at a couple of issues. Still, it made for good reading, and encouraged me to go back and re-read Beau’s book.
Another great addition to the Kissing Springs family of books that I enjoyed. 4-Light-MC-romance-loving-Stars☠️✰•.

OMG, Kristin Lee does it again and delivers a swoon-worthy, pulse-pounding, gut-wrenching read. Ride With Beckett is a steamy, instalove, OTT, age-gap, arranged marriage, opposites-attract, girl gets her biker romance. Beckett is a 33 year old, sexy,hunky biker and the president of the Lost Souls MC. Tessa is a 22 year old sweet and sassy country club girl with a bit of a rebellious streak. Beckett first sees Tessa at a nightclub and is attracted to her. They part ways, and he ends up meeting her dad for a business deal, but doesn't know Tessa is his daughter. As part of the business deal, he wants Beckett to marry Tessa. Tessa overhears her parents planning the arranged marriage and is devastated until she realizes it's Beckett (aka Double). The two fall in love even though her dad has said it's only business, and Beckett can't touch her. Beckett and Tessa's dad have secrets that will change things. Will their love survive when secrets come out? This story was amazing and unexpected, although everything Kristin Lee writes is amazing!! Their chemistry was pure fire. There is drama, but we get a happy ending, and the bonus epilogue is hot 🔥hot 🔥 hot 🔥🌶. I was so excited for Beckett's story after meeting him in Beau and Vanessa's story. I so wanted him to find love, too. And seeing my favorite couple, Jessie and Maverick was a bonus, too. I absolutely loved everything about this book and can't wait for Midnight and Mine Next!!!!.

Omg! This was so good! All the feels and more from the prolific pen of Kristin Lee. It’s typical of ms Lee to capture your attention and ride with it 😉 Awesome storytelling ! Tessa is straight out of college and back home , she goes out to let her hair down in a bar. Here she gets a bloke who was taking no for an answer and getting very handsy when suddenly from nowhere came her knight in shining leather in the shape of MC member Beckett. Oh my! What a guy! Beckett had spotted the woman as she entered the place and he liked what he saw but that was it no more. Next thing she’s overheard her father negotiating an arranged marriage for her how absurd! Well she won’t do it! Then she sees who it is…Beckett ,he’s a decade and half older but he’s hot ! She’s going to go against her father’s no touch rule though the first chance she gets! So plans on seducing the sexy biker . She has a yearning to feel the thrust and the hum between her legs as she rides with the hot biker on his machine ..heaven! He’s all in and blows his lot to save what he’s got because he plans on keeping his prize for good. Oh goodness…swoon! What a heck of a ride! I might never come down. Well Ms Lee you’ve done for me this so good. I knew it would be and oh my it’s immersive …well not too much , mores the pity but we can dream 😉 The writing is superb with great descriptions and a good story. I could not get enough of them ! I’m leaving my review voluntarily in my own words.

Normally with this author's work, I am in love with both characters and raving about them.. This one is a little different for me. I loved Beckett from the beginning and knew he has the best intentions at heart with this arrangement. He sees Tessa at the club and is instantly attracted to her.. He just doesn't know who she is yet. What I love about him, is that he doesn't immediately cave into her. He has his walls up and refuses at first to touch her. He is honoring her dad's demands.
Tessa is who I had issues with.. I realize she is only 22 and only been with one guy. She was immature in some ways she acted and just some of the things she said irked me at times if I'm being honest. I'm not sure how Beckett handled it as well as he did. It really showed the age difference between them.
The story was good and I liked how despite things started out, he really fell for her and wanted her family protected at all costs. He handled himself very well and opened up his heart to her in the end. It was a good book with a good storyline, full of heart and people who truly care about the each other.

Cat’s Stats
MMC/FMC- Beckett and Tessa
Genre- Contemporary Romance
Sub Genre- MC Romance Ultralite
Length- about 140 pages
Heat- 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋 The scene, which starts in the back of the truck, is super steamy.
Series? I think so
Safety? Y
Triggers- language, explicit erotic content, violence.
Tropes- Twintuition, Age Gap, Secret Agent Man, Arranged Marriage, Fake Relationship, Dysfunctional Family FTW
Mewsings- this was an enjoyable book to read, but it was incredibly far fetched. I like OTT books, but this one was trying to be realistic, and so the premise behind the arrangement just didn’t ring true. The zexytime was quite hawt. But I was left with a lot of questions, plot lines that were hinted but that just didn’t come through. Like, why did Beckett choose the career he chose? What happened to him that he couldn’t enlist like he had wanted? How did he get the scars? Was he really in love with Vanessa? What happened to make him and Beau estranged and how did they get their relationship back? These distractions lessened my pleasure in the story.

I liked this story a lot, even though I wanted to know what happened between Beau, Vanessa and Beckett....And even though it was a quick , spicy and steamy read, there was actual plot and a story line I absolutely ate with gusto!!!!!
Plans on the making for years goes sideways as Beckett falls in love with the only person he shouldn't!And that was Tessa, his target's daughter! But he is so absolutely in love e that will do everything in his power to save their future, their love, their families... I loved how reluctant Beckett was at first, bc one, he knew that he was trading in unknown waters that might lead to destroying his efforts for the past 5years, and two bc he wanted to protect his heart from another fall out that will lead to him being his past lost, broken, awful self...
I really appreciated the way his growth came in such a short story(and time) bc it was so smooth and gracefully, and the twist plot was a cherry on top.

This is a great novella is a quick read. It maybe a short book but it isn’t short on the spice. Tessa is a free spirited country club girl. Beckett is a biker with a difficult past. When Tessa’s father wants to work with Beckett he suggested an arranged marriage with Tessa as a cover. Tessa is determined to get back at her father for this arrangement and have a little fun too. Beckett tries to keep his word and not given in to his feeling. Is this a fake relationship or real.
Here is a short excerpt of one of my favorite scenes…
“It was to me, but I was just an interim girlfriend, knowing he was going to the NBA.” He nods thoughtfully. “Did he tell you beforehand?” “No. He wasn’t a bad guy but… listen, I know you don’t want to marry me. Once again, I’m a placeholder for a man until he finds what he really wants.” My words hit me harder than I expect. Tears blur my vision as he places his knuckles under my chin and tips it so that I’m looking in his eyes. His face is soft, and his lips are parted. “Tessa, you are what every man wants.” He drops his head. “Beautiful.” He presses a soft kiss against the corner of my mouth. “Strong.” Beckett’s lips hover over mine before he gently takes my top lip between his. “Sassy.” Then he sucks my bottom lip between his.
My panties are already damp from kisses without tongue. Shocked, I pull away.
Tropes:
Secrets
-Age-gap (11 years)
-Opposites attract
-Arranged Marriage
-Romantic suspense
-Emotional baggage

This is book 2 in The Kissing Springs Series and follows Beckett and Tessa. Although each book is a standalone and can be read out of order, if do recommend starting at the beginning for the best reading experience. The first book in the series is Bourbon and Brawn and follows Becketts twin bother.
-MC romance
-Secrets
-Age-gap (11 years)
-Opposites attract
-Arranged Marriage
-Romantic suspense
-Emotional baggage
This is fast paced, easy and enjoyable read. For such a short book, it had a lot of content and I truly enjoyed the story. There were a few twists and turns that I did not see coming and the suspenseful part was truly a fun addition. I also loved that you got to see characters from the previous book. If you are looking for a book that you can sit in the sand and enjoy a well written and fun storyline, this is your book.

Beckett, aka "Double". Lost Souls President. Mechanic. Twin brother.
Tessa. Recent college graduate. Southern Belle. Daddy's girl.
These two are brought together in an arranged marriage by Tessa's dad. He wants Beckett's crew to do a not-so-legal run for him, using Beckett's family connection. In turn, the marriage is to keep the public from suspecting anything at all.
Despite the "fake" aspect of the arranged marriage, things are becoming real quick for the pair. So much so, that Beckett has to struggle with whether or not to keep up his part of the sham.
Grab a glass of bourbon, snuggle up in front of the campfire, and enjoy the ride.
(This book is a part of the Ride With Me series of standalone novels by various authors, but is also related to Bourbon and Brawn.)
Tessa. Recent college graduate. Southern Belle. Daddy's girl.
These two are brought together in an arranged marriage by Tessa's dad. He wants Beckett's crew to do a not-so-legal run for him, using Beckett's family connection. In turn, the marriage is to keep the public from suspecting anything at all.
Despite the "fake" aspect of the arranged marriage, things are becoming real quick for the pair. So much so, that Beckett has to struggle with whether or not to keep up his part of the sham.
Grab a glass of bourbon, snuggle up in front of the campfire, and enjoy the ride.

This was a fast, quick amd easy to read.
For a short bok it packed a lot of drama, secrets, twists, laughter tears and love. It was very spicy just the right amount for a short story.
Beckitt was the pres of his MC. He meets Tessa at a night out but she is definitely too young for him but she stays on his mind until he meets up with the pres of another MC. Turns out her dad is that MC and wants Beckitt to marry her part of an illegal deal. The shock when they both find out it's the one from night before.
Tessa was bubbly, full of life and mischievous. She was to marry him but not allowed to consummate the marriage. Tessa was having none of that. She didn't stop until she got what she wanted.
There is a lot of secrets in Beckitt past and present.
Great read and I would recommend it.

Ugh! What a story! I already had my heart ripped open and bleed for Becket in Kristin's story Bourbon & Brawn and I'm so happy Beckett got his own book even if it's was a very quick read and more like a novella.
I'm not a fan of instalove, but considering the length and the need I had in me to see Beckett happy, I adored this story. Tessa was not my favorite in the beginning, but she really grew on me and by the end I was so in love with her and Beckett.
MC lite, age gap, arranged marriage, instalove, instalust, secret identity.
If you're in a slump or need a quick read to boost that number to be closer to your goal, I'd recommend this one.
I'd also highly recommend reading Bourbon & Brawn by Kristin first to fully appreciate Beckett. His story and background and character development really is laid out in that book, however, it's not mandatory in order to love this read.
Thank you, Kristin, for this ARC and for giving Beckett the ending he deserves.

Newly graduated from college but unemployed, free spirited Tessa decides a girls’ night is in order to celebrate her return to her parents’ home. While enjoying a few beers with his MC brothers, sexy Beckett notices Tessa immediately. After a creep gets hands with her on the dance floor, Beckett removes him physically from her person. Despite their mutual attraction, they part ways at the door of the dive bar.
The following day Tessa learns her father has arranged a fake marriage for her and a man who’s eleven years her senior. A stunned Tessa is introduced by her father to her husband to be: none other than Beckett, mysterious biker from the night before.
As they spend time together, real feelings occur, and their relationship becomes physical. Everything is not as it seems, however, and Tessa must decide if she can reconcile the betrayal she feels from two most important men in her life with her love for them.
This was a very short, sexy read. Not a huge amount of angst, thankfully, and the deception didn’t involve the MCs cheating, which I appreciated.

Ride With Beckett by Kristin Lee
I have been waiting for Beckett since finishing Bourbon & Brawn and Kristin did not disappoint.
Arranged fake marriage, age gap, biker... and a whole lot of there's more to this story and my need to know needs to know!!! I was hooked from the beginning. Devoured this book! A short quick read that will def get you out of a slump!
Loved getting the little glimpses of Beau & Vanessa and Maverick too! And the nod to the Campus Stallions!
While a quick read it was jam packed with spice, a small dose of angst, suspense and so much more! Love watching these two fall in love even when they weren't supposed too!

Are you looking for a short and sweet MC with a twist? Then Ride with Beckett might just be your book.
I was unable to put this book down while reading. I loved Beckett, the strong MC President, and ATF Undercover Agent. A man who is lost in life until Tessa comes into his life.
While Tessa is a Daddy's girl who just graduated from college with no real prospects in life, not surprising for someone in a small town at times.
When Tessa's Father has a strange arrangement. An arranged marriage between Tessa and Beckett.
I love how Kristen wrote the story. It was so different than I thought it would go, in many awesome ways!
Another great read from Kristen!

A quick read. The storyline is pretty involved for a novella length, and so very addictive. The relationship between Beckett and Tessa is intense and fast, with a romantic and sweet touch to balance the super sexy chemistry between these characters.
I had some suspicions about who Beckett really was in the early chapters and was so happy my suspicions proved correct. Tessa’s father’s change of attitude was a little odd to me, but I liked how that made the ending sweeter.
Seeing more of Beau and Vanessa was wonderful. I am enjoying this series and looking forward to future stories.

From the moment they laid eyes on each other, Tessa and Beckett were attracted to each other. They sure weren't expecting to actually fall in love but Tessa broke right through Beckett's walls. Beckett even says: "Peace has eluded me for more than a decade. Maybe this is exactly where I'm meant to be - with Tessa by my side." SWOON. Absolutely loved this novella and 100% recommend reading if you like men who may seem a little rough but are really teddy bears who love hard. Well done, Kristin Lee!!

Ride with Beckett is a quick read that packs a huge punch. There are so many tropes and all the feels in this one! There's magic in this one!
If you are into age-gap, he falls first, MC, undercover, or arranged marriage, you will love this book! I love how Beckett is so possessive of Tessa, and realizes early on how she is special to him. Tessa is still going to read into things and think Beckett is not trustworthy, but he proves her wrong.
Ride with Beckett is a standalone from Kristin Lee, but Beckett is a character we have met in Bourbon & Brawn.

I really enjoyed this book. Beckett won me over from the beginning. Tessa initially comes off as naive and maybe a bit immature. She quickly grew on me and I understood her desire to please her father while also wanting to rebel.
The story was interesting and the characters were great. I wasn’t a fan of Tessa’s father and I would have liked to see him face real consequences for his actions, even if it was only his wife leaving him.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest opinion.

amazing!
What started out as a business arrangement turned into a loving HEA. 🥰☺️
I didn’t think I would cry reading Becketts story. But here I am, crying 😢 happy tears mind you! Not to mention my full on “no way!” moment at that plot twist! 😱
After knowing his story from reading Bourbon and Brawn, (his twin brother Beau’s book) Beckett deserves this little slice of happiness.
This is a short story but packed full of humor, suspense, spice, and heart tugging moments. 🥹🩵 I definitely recommend reading Becketts story.
