**This Book Contains strong language violence and sexual situations**
I have traveled many roads, but riding the road to winning her heart is proving to be my greatest journey yet... "Nothing brings me so much pain and pleasure, like her mouth."
My name is Striker Black and this is my story...
Have you ever made a choice that changed everything? A decision that set off a chain of events that you could not control. Have you ever been torn between wishing to go back and change one night if it could repair all of the lives you ruined or being glad that it happened because it brought you, the most precious gift life had to offer?
As long as I can remember, I have sworn to protect her, to give her everything she ever needed. I waited so long for her to put her faith in me to trust in me to cherish her and I failed her. Letting down the one person who mattered most to me broke me, letting her go about nearly killed me.
**
Baby has loved and lost. Trying to pick up the pieces of her heart, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a tangled mess. Can Baby forgive the past and open her heart to the man who has loved her since she was just a girl? How many times can a heart be wounded before it finally bleeds dry…
**
Romeo has always been loyal to his patch and one woman has always owned his heart. He is soon finding out that loyalty and love doesn’t always go hand in hand. When a new threat arises Romeo learns the hard way, all is not fair on the road and between the sheets.

OMG!!! I knew Striker would be a hell of a ride, but I just taken on the ride of my life!!! In this book we get the POVs of Striker, Baby, and Romeo. Striker is trying to get Baby to forgive his past and be his, while Baby is trying to fight her feelings. Can they forgive and move on together or will others always get in their way? Romeo has found himself caught in a situation where decisions need to be made, will he make the right ones? There are some twists and turns along the way, that will have you ready to throw your kindle (at least I wanted to). There were moments I literally gasped and was holding my breath. Glenna writes a hell of a book!! The Black Rebel Riders’ MC series is a MUST read and this was the best one yet!!!

If any of you have been following those of us that are Black Rebel fanatics then you all know we were anxiously awaiting Striker. Glenna did an amazing job of letting us hang with the crew this time around. It wasn't as earth shaking as Baby (and that's not a bad thing), don't get me wrong there are plenty of "holy crap" moments and yelling at your fictional friends but all in all this time around it was like hanging out in the club house watching it all unravel or be put back together. Those of you who are emotionally invested (like myself) will want to "cut a few bitches" and be happy at the HEA parts (lets hope they stick, you never can tell with Glenna). Personally I was afraid I was going to not like Romeo at the end of this book but that didn't happen for me so I am looking forward to his book next. I still not sure I trust Smoky so we will see how that plays out next. My other note was that I finally decided I really like Foxy, you were never really sure but damn that woman rocks. So until Romeo, enjoy the ride!

Love him. His so sexy

This book is filled with suspense, angst, intense situations, and intriguing twists that you won't want to miss. Striker was one of my favorites, until he started acting like an idiot. Surprisingly, as much as I disliked the younger version of Baby, she's finally getting somewhat better. I hate all that she's had to go through, but it's definitely making her grow up, which she needed. If this is how these people treat their "family," I would hate to see how they treat their enemies. Just saying!
There is a lot of editing errors throughout the book, and they seem to keep getting worse. This still reads like a MC soap opera, but this book was definitely better than the last. At least to me.
I would recommend this book and series.

I know this books was gonna wreck me and I was right. I went through a torrent of emotions. I don't know how many times I switched my kindle off only to switch it straight back on again. I nearly threw my kindle at one point. All in all what a brilliant book that has left me with a huge book hangover.

Striker is a bit different than the last book not as intense but it's just as good as the previous ones in the series. It's filled with twists, suspense, a little bit of drama, a few surprises, lots of emotions, and some humor. You'll definitely want to expect the unexpected. You just never know what might happen or what could be revealed. Absolutely loved reading this one and I look forward to the next in the series.

Striker (Black Rebel Riders’ MC #4)
By: Glenna Maynard
4/5 stars
Since Baby, book 3, Striker Black has been shut out of Baby’s life when he had a one-night stand with her, and going back with his girlfriend & moving to Chicago. Unknowingly, he left Baby pregnant. Trouble and Baby talked about her situation and then Trouble claimed her & they were planning a wedding. But when Striker was almost shot, Trouble jumped in front of him, taking the bullet and telling Striker that it was actually Striker who would be the father. Baby blamed Striker for Trouble’s death and has continued the shut-out including keeping him from their son, Colt.
Baby’s heart has been crushed and broken by Striker more than once. Time and time again, he has proven that he is not ready to be the man she needs and to be faithful to his family. Even though Striker knows that he is Colt’s father, no one else is privy to that knowledge. Which in a way is also protecting Striker from Grim’s wrath. Grim, as Baby’s father has the right to protect her/make Striker pay for not following the rules/knocking Baby up and then leaving her. But not being able to publicly claim Colt is starting to wear on Striker and breaks his heart a little more every day. Striker knows that when he and Baby hooked up and Colt was conceived that he wasn’t ready to be that man for her and that he in no way was ready to claim her. But now, he wants to be that man for both her and his son.
When Baby decides to try to let Striker in, and to let him get to know his son, she knows that her heart still belongs to him and that he has the power to rip it to pieces. She also knows that she isn’t the only one that will get hurt if he decides that claiming her is more than he can handle. She also has to put Colt first and not just go with her heart and libido. She has to be smart about her choices. But as any man will, Striker is bound to mess up. Baby just has to hold his feet to the fire, not put up with his crap and let him know what he stands to lose.
Romeo, my dear, sweet loving older man! He really got the shaft this time around and I really feel for him. His marriage isn’t as great as it once was, and that’s not because he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about Baby and their one night together. But it’s also because his wife has gone back to some of her old ways and has checked out of their marriage and motherhood.
I loved the story, but the grammar needs work. Though it isn’t as bad as the grammar in book 3, there were still too many errors for me to give it 5 stars. Also, there were some times when I thought the author had accidentally put the same conversation in twice, and one of them was a wrong spot, but were actually the same conversation, just from someone else’s POV and it was backtracking from where the first person’s POV ended. I think that happened 3 times, and it just seemed a little off. I do love this series and will definitely continue reading it!!

Glenna Maynard you are a remarkable writer!! The Black Rebel Riders’ MC books are absolutely amazing.
Now if you have read my reviews before then you would already know that I loved Grim, Rumor, and Baby. After reading those, I had to sit back and wonder how in the hell could she top those books. They are absolutely outstanding and there was nothing that I could come up with in my mind that would/could top them. But then Striker came out. And well… I was wrong! Way wrong!
Striker is an extremely good book. One thing I do want to say is that loyalty gets pushed in this book and it gets pushed hard. With that said, I know Striker is 25ish and I’m well quite a few years older than him than I would like but I don’t care. Once I was introduced to this character I literally messaged Glenna and was like “Ok, Striker can make me his top *itch.” Yeah I said that. J
What I wouldn’t give to be his no.1!
Anyway, sorry about that, let me get back to my review. So this book is in Baby, Striker, and Romeo’s POV. And the things that Striker says and thinks will surely melt your panties right off. Romeo is faced with a lot of *hit and needs to decide what he really wants or there will be hell to pay! Baby, well you will just have to read the book to see what she decides. I don’t want to give you too much in fear of ruining the story, so if you want to know more about all three and get into their minds, please go get Striker.
But I will leave you with this. We all know that people have secrets and some are good or bad while others are really bad. And well I had no freaking clue that these things were going to happen. Glenna Maynard you definitely threw a surprise my way with Striker! I loved every bit of the ending but I seriously don’t know how you will ever top this and I can’t wait for the next book!

I am in a love-hate relationship with this author and I cannot stop! What a rollercoaster ride. I love Striker and Baby - together they can set the world on fire. If everyone else would just back off! 😉. Amazing… great read … great escape. 🔥🖤🔥🖤🔥
January 25, 2015
I absolutely love the Black Rebel Riders’ series. I have no idea how Glenna does it but as the series progresses the books get better and better. Striker was no different.
Striker and Baby have this bond, this love that can’t be stopped no matter what obstacles are put in front of them. Trust me they have more obstacles in front of them than a hurdler in an olympic race. Emotion and action runs rampant in this book. One minute you’re up and the next you are being kicked while you are down. There were times I wanted to kick the hell out of Striker, okay that is an understatement. That man knows how to find trouble even when he is trying to avoid it. He’s a magnet for it.
Baby, let me tell you about baby, I used to HATE her but she grew on me and now I kind of have a girl crush on her. She is feisty, loyal and stubborn as all hell. She knows what she wants… most of the time and she will do whatever she has to do to make sure she and her child remain unhurt. Sometimes she sabotaged herself but who could blame her when it comes to her roller coaster love life. I kept thinking, “Will these two ever get their sh*t together.”
You will laugh at times, want to scream at others. Occasionally you will want to jump into the story and scream at people but that is what makes Striker and this series great. You have to expect the unexpected. Grab your brain bucket and prepare for a bumpy ride.

Estou acompanhando a série e indo aos trancos e barrancos... fui tentando e tentando, mas não consegui me conectar com os personagens.
O herói é um mulherengo que não consegue manter o zíper fechado e que só faz merda! A heroína não é muito melhor que ele.
Acabei torcendo para que cada um procurasse outros parceiros e acabasse com a miséria do leitor.
Quem sabe isso não acontece nos próximos livros.

I've been following the series and with difficulty been trying and trying, but I couldn't connect with the characters.
The hero is a womanizer who can't keep the zipper closed and that just makes shit! The heroine is not much better than him.
Just hoping each seek other partners and end the misery of the reader.
Maybe that happens in the next books.

I was given an ARC copy of this by Glenna as she really wanted me read Striker knowing how much i've loved the B.R.R series so far so here is my review.............
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT, there were so many obstacles put in the way of Striker and Baby's love, they always both loved each other but Baby's stubbornness (along with other interferences) kept creeping up.
It is a total rollercoaster of emotions, not just for the main 2 characters but also for Strikers "brothers"..........I didn't want it to end at all !!!!!!!!!
I want to be Romeos TOP BITCH !!!!!

Oddly enough the guy I paid very little attention to in the beginning of this series has now become my favorite! I LOVE STRIKER! I just want to wrap him up in a big hug and tell him he's worthy. He has so much pain that he covers up and self medicates only to cause him more pain. It begins to destroy him and everyone that loves him.
This is a must read for Baby & Striker's story! Striker will capture your heart.

A great read. While I like getting the story from different points of views it got a little confusing at times and went over the same scenes. It didn't take away from the story. I love this series. It is a great MC series and has everything you look for in a MC series. I like the fact that the struggles in that the characters go through are what you would find in real life. Rated great
June 12, 2018
Ok this book had my emotions ALL over the place!! Diamond you are a total Witch & belong where you are, just saying. Baby & Striker thank you for not giving up. Even though I thought you might. Romeo you are twisted, WAKE THE F*CK UP!!
CAN NOT WAIT TO CONTINUE!!
Read via BRRMC box set 1-6.
Thank-You!!

HOLY CRAP!! This is by far the best book in this series. It had me turning the page so fast I could not put it down. There are so many twists, turns, and bumps, my head is spinning..... Can't wait to see what happens next.
July 26, 2015
Good book
Striker I think is my favorite so far. Romeo is an ass, he is awful. I hope that Rumor and Rebel, get a child sometime in the next book. Diamond omg she really is a bad, bad person. Bring on the next book in this series. I recommend this series and the Author.

The fourth book to the Black Rebel Riders MC. This book is just as twisted and deliciously disturbing as the previous ones. The bond Striker and Baby has is a strong one. The different POV’s are awesome. This series just gets better and better!!!
May 22, 2018
OMG! Poor Striker. His story is well SHOCKING for sure! I love his character. I get where he is coming from and to put up with what he does bless his heart. A strong character even when he has some weak moments.
June 30, 2018
These stories are just getting better and better. Striker is such a contrast of vulnerability and hard-headed determination. Baby, always conflicted and pulled in two different directions. I am getting whiplash from all the back and forth. Great story.....
September 22, 2018
Striker is the fourth book in the series. This was filled with angst, suspense, drama and intense situations. Loved Baby in this one. Love all the different POV's. Looking forward to reading the next one.
