Ryder: A Twisted Kingdom Clubhouse Novel

by M.A. Lee

Ryder Raven isn't the type of guy who is used to being told no.
With wealth, a body like a Greek god, and a panty-melting smile-- Ryder seemed to have it all. Growing up in the Twisted Kingdom Motorcycle Clubhouse, Ryder knew made a name for himself both in Hollow Cove and around the world as a popular motorcycle racer.

Scarlett Sinclair isn't like most girls. She sees right through Ryder's charm and isn't impressed by his money and status.

At least, she pretends not to be.

After a chance encounter she brushes off Ryder and his smile. She knows the dangers of making bad decisions. Ryder becomes intrigued and obsessed with the only girl not interested in him. As he donates his time and money at a local charity, he refuses to back down and will stop at nothing until he makes her his.

As sparks fly on and off the racetrack, Scarlett finds herself drawn to the bad boy. Will she give in to her desires or will they both get burned?

About the author

A longtime escapist into books, M.A. Lee began writing cozy mysteries and romances when other sources of that gold ran out. The gold nuggets of Mary Stewart, Georgette Heyer, Andre Norton, Phyllis A. Whitney, and Elizabeth Peters inspired her to write her own nuggets, even if they're only pyrite.

Look for the Into Death series, set after World War I, and the other books in the Hearts in Hazard series.

Favorite Books of all Time:
Mary Stewart's My Brother Michael.
Mary Stewart's This Rough Magic.
Georgette Heyer's Venetia.
Ellis Peters' The Virgin in Ice.
Andre Norton's Year of the Unicorn

Authors that I will recommend beyond the influences and the favorites: Dorothy L. Sayers. Tony Hillerman. Tamara Leigh. Patricia Briggs. Lindsay Buroker. Linnea Sinclair. W.R. Gingell. Agatha Christie. C.J. Cherryh.

Reviews

[Nicole Henderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received an Advanced Reader Copy and am voluntarily reviewing it. The last Raven brother is up next. Ryder wanted to make a name for himself outside of MC. He had bigger dreams. Those dreams landed him in Los Angeles on a major racing team. While working with All Our Childern, a group home for boys, Ryder meets Scarlett. Ryder falls hard and fast.

Scarlett was getting over a bad relationship and her self esteem was not ready for someone like Ryder Raven to show her attention. Scarlett could not understand why Ryder wanted to spend time with her. This book was different. It did not revolve around the MC. Don’t get me wrong the MC comes into play. Readers will see the brothers. This book focuses on Scarlett and Ryder’s potential relationship. Will Scarlett let Ryder in before he gives up on her?

Cat’s Stats
MMC/FMC- Ryder and Scarlett
Genre- Contemporary Romance
Length - novel
Heat- they do the thing and use the P word once during the naming of the parts.
Series? Y
Safety? Y
Triggers- language, sex

What I liked- I thought that the characters were interesting and likable, plus I liked the premise of a racing star and a woman who worked for a children’s charity.
What I didn’t- I thought that the first half felt excruciatingly long because of the amount of repetition. And there was A LOT of angst and wangst, and I don’t care for that.

Loved this one...

Ryder is the fourth book in the Twisted Kingdom series. I really enjoyed this last book in the series, which is about the four Raven brothers and the Twisted Kingdom MC. This story is about Scarlett Sinclair and Ryder Raven. Ryder is walking "sex on a stick" that you just want to lick up. Scarlett works hard at a children's charity and is not about to fall for Ryder's sexy bad boy ways. She has been around that track once to often and has never won. But Ryder is not like any other man she has met and he is about to make sure he wins her heart and more.

Ryder and Scarlett. He grew up in the Twisted Kingdom MC and has made a name for himself as a motorcycle racer and a playboy. He is also connected to All Our Children a home for boys. She isnt taken in by his money and charm. At least thats what she tells herself. You know what they say about wanting the thing you cant have, more. He becomes intrigued and obssessed with her. Its just a matter of time before she caves. Loved this brothers story.

Glad things work out for Ryder and Scarlett. This one is the best written of the Twisted Kingdom books. It has the less inconsistencies in the plot. It still lacks any type of connection to the MC world and only somewhat to the racing (car/bikes) world. I read the book in one sitting as really just wanted to finish it. The storyline and characters are somewhat engaging. However, the story reads a bit disjointed. The premise behind it though is good, family and true love.

Well, in true Rider style, he wears her down. Will, yet again, the last single Rider brother fall into the waves of live?

Ryder is another one of the brothers that has fallen for love but the woman he has fallen for makes him work for it. Scarlett has had her heart broken before and won't fall so easily. Ryder is the outsider who feels like he isn't good enough. Will this outsider be able to wear her down and get his chance for happiness.

Taking Time to Get There

Ryder may be a famous motorcycle racer, but he has never felt whole. Scarlett has been burned before and hesitates when he shows an interest in her. The love and attraction between takes its time to blossom, but the journey getting there was a fantastic one. I truly enjoyed their story.

Scarlett has had her heart broken before and wasn’t about to get wrapped up in bad boy Ryder. Even if he had status and money. But Ryder has always felt like he’s never fit in. And he made it his goal to win over Scarlett. Whether he’s on the track or donating his time, she’s always on his mind. As these two slowly get closer, a connection starts to blossom between them. Their story was really sweet. And I liked how the two came together and showed open hearts and another side of themselves.

Ryder never felt like he fitted in, his life was racing, but something was missing that is until he meets Scarlett, she's not Impressed by his rich wild boy ways, but can Ryder show her he's more than what he seems? Will she give the bad boy racer a chance? Well written engaging steamy, desires, determined he falls first and hard romance.
