The ending seemed as if it wasn’t complete. More like rushed. Asia never found out how dirty her best friend and her baby daddy was and I didn’t feel like I got any type of real closing of the story. So I knew there was no epilogue. I feel like I just read an unfinished story.
Stanley was a trip and Asia taking him back each time was a shame. I hated the ending. How Stanley mad at Ty when he sleeping with Cam. Stephanie sneaky behind. Is there a part 2. I couldn't put this book down.

Why I read this novel...
I met this author through Facebook and I just wanted to see what she was writing.
What I liked from this novel.....
This was a interesting urban read that will keep your attention from the start till the finish. The author's opening was really a eye opener leaving me to say wow! This author really knows how to keep you right on the edge of your seat with her presentation of this read. There will be so much going on that I found myself taking notes because I didn't want to miss any of just who was doing hat in this read. What a life for Asia, Stephanie, Stanley, Tayvon (Ty) Mr. Big, Killer Sean, Rome Tangie to name a few characters. The characters were all over the chart but for the most part were well portrayed, developed and oh so believable as this author gives us a interesting read. Be prepared for lots of drama, sex as well as lots of killings. This is definitely not for the younger readers.
Will Asia get the genuine love she needs and wants so badly. Her life had been so awful...mother dying, her father leaving without a trace of being found, living on the streets... but one thing for sure her friend Stephanie her best friend. Her friend was there for her no matter what came about. But was this true? With them being so tight would there be anything to separate them? Then there was Stanley who seemed to be a God send at first but as time went on was he? Did he not know that he had a 'ryder' in Asia? What was up with Ty to had held something so close that he was just waiting for the right time to.... well, this is where I say you must pick up "Every Man Need A Ryder" to see how this author will bring it out to the reader. Oh... I'm sorry this will be one of those reads that will leave you hanging so I guess we will have to wait for Book 2 to see where, who, what, how and the why for the ending of this read.
What I didn't like about this novel...
There were sections in the read that I was left saying who is saying what....who is the person that is talking now? I found myself having to go back and reread to find out the answer. This was probably due to the fact that there is so much going on you could miss something important and I didn't want to miss any of it. Then there was that best friend of Asia...Stephanie...I don't know but I do have some questions about her. Hopefully I am wrong... Well, I will say for Asia sake I hope I am!
My overall impression...
By the end of this read... "Ryder: Every Man Needs a Ryder" will have taken the reader on a roller coast ride with Asia and a few more characters as you will be lead on some interesting spins on and off. Be ready for a wild ride that will be filled with so much drama and I am sure the reader can expect even more to come in this author's next Book 2 read.
I liked the book Ryder by Angel Williams even though I felt Asia went through a lot of unnecessary drama in trying to keep Stanley. The story was very descriptive as to Asia & Stanley's relationship so it was well understood. Asia definitely proved that she was a Ryder. I felt Asia's best friend Stephanie was an interesting character as well as Ty, Stanley's buddy. In fact, this story was filled with dramatic characters that created new revelations at every turn, and plenty of secrets that made this book a good read.
