From the world of Carolina Bad Boys and Retribution MC, a steamy New Adult standalone novella . . . Magic Mike XXL ain’t got nothin’ on Kinky Kinkaid.

Kinkaid:
Bonafide pussy magnet. Kinky Kaid I wanna get laid. Yeah, I’ve been called that shit and more. It comes with the territory. See, I’m a male stripper. I shake my moneymaker so I can pay the bills and take care of my people.

I’m also a hardcore, hell-bent biker dude, the newest prospect at Retribution MC. Probie 2.0, and they can never find out how I earn my living. Women love me. They toss their panties at me. They push hundred dollar bills into my G-string. I’m down and dirty and the honeys dig it. All but one.

There’s this girl, Sadie. She’s beautiful and funny and kickass with some major ink. I’d never make a move on her because she’s my best friend.

Sadie:
Best friend? Bullshit. Kinkaid treats me like I’m his kid sister. I’m the hell-raiser, the tomboy dirt biker, his late night call but never like that. He thinks he’s safe from me. I’m going to prove him wrong. I’ll make him see me as a woman one way or the other.

When I find out what Kinkaid’s been hiding there’s hell to pay. Except then he gives me a lap dance. A hot, wicked, panty-melting lap dance. A lap dance that unleashes our intense desire, fresh jealousy, distrust and anger.

Everything changes after that, and not for the better. I love him. I hate him. I can’t lose him. Sometimes I can’t stand him. He’s hot as sin on a sultry lowcountry night, and he’s still my best friend.

I don’t know if he’s man enough to give me what I need.

Warning: Graphic sex, graphic action, graphic language. Triple X caution.

A quick and enjoyable read, that gets the heart pumping. Oh la la!





Sadie and Kinkaid have been best friends since he was ten years old. At their first meeting, Kinkaid knew, that Sadie is the girl for him, but would it be at the cost of their friendship. Not willing to chance it, he has kept Sadie in the friend zone for all these years. Remaining best friends through thick and thin. Sadie had fallen in with the Ladies of Retribution MC, the sister charter to Retribution, and as always since they were ten, he followed right behind her. Pledging to the MC.

His grandpa who raised him from a babe to adulthood, needed round the clock care. He took care of the daytime but he needed nigth supervision also. The night nurse, meds and all other bills were his responsibility. Taking care of his aging grandpa became his top priority.



Two person's he didn't want to find out about his profession. Sadie Grace and the MC he was pledging to. But of course without anyone finding out, then we wouldn't get an drama. Attending a bachelorette party, Sadie comes face to face with non other than Kinky Kinkaid. And let's just say, the woman licked her lips, while eye-fucking him from head to toe. Kinky Kinkaid can give one hell of a lap dance, and Sadie Grace was on the receiving end.

Anger and jealousy hit Sadie immediately. He kept this secret from her, his best friend, or so he claims. To top it all off, Sadie has been in love with Kinkaid forever. He's never shown any emotions other than friendliness towards her. So she was resigned to being his friend. But seeing him, stripping, in front of all these women. It hurts to know that he didn't care about her enough, to let her in, and to LET. HER. IN. You all know what I mean ladies.

Soon enough Kinky Kinkaid and Sadie Grace come face to face with their overwhelming emotions and the sexual tension is off the charts. Getting involved, they only have a short period of bliss, because Sadie didn't want him dancing anymore and she thought it was a foregone conclusion. When she realized he was returning to his regular shifts. This causes a rift and they both suffer miserably for some time. Until Kinkaid pulls his head out of his behind and retires. Only to perform for Sadie. And the man can PERFORM!



I loved the relationship between Kinkaid and his Grandpa. It was delicate and strong. Nurturing. When he passed it was devastating. Even for me as a reader. The emotions were so raw and real. I actually cried a bit. Sadie was fierce. Rie Warren seems to give us hunky, muscled and packed men. Along with some fierce women. That gives, as good as they get. My favourite thing about Rie Warren's writing is that she gives us strong, independent women. Not the usual girlie girlie type, and overly emotional gals in books these days. Sadie is a tom boy, that rides a Suzuki DRZ 250, but when she takes of her leathers, the tomcat, becomes a, HELLCAT.

All in all, a quick and enjoyable read.

3.5 'Kinky Kaid' stars

I'll shameless admit that the male stripper drew me to this book. Considering the series was named Bad Boys of Retribution MC, I don't get much of MC action beside of some scene taking part in the club house and the hero riding his Harley.

Kinkaid is about the hero, Kinkaid Ryder, trying to get a patch with the MC, while moonlighting as a male stripper to pay for his grandpa's medical bills. His childhood friend, Sadie is also part of the sister club of the MC. He never thought they will be more than friends, but after a night of erotic lap dance, things change between these two. But things didn't well between these two lovebirds when Sadie can't accept Kinkaid's chosen profession.

What I like :
1. the male stripper routine, of course! Rie Warren paint a very vivid picture of the entire routine that had me panting like a horndog. I felt like I'm among the throngs of horny ladies waving a stack of bills wanting to stuck my hands down Kinkaid's jockstrap.

2. the reference to Kinkaid's monstrous cock. Penis can never be too big.

3. the whole book in the hero's POV. It really make the book stood out for me.

4. Grampa Dean!

What I think can make the book better:
1. Kinkaid and Sadie are suppose to be childhood friends, they are like two pod in a pea. But I didn't get to see how their friendship was like because the book started with them having the awkward attraction towards each other already.

2. If this is a MC series, I need some MC action. Drug runs or whatever. I need to see some badass stunt.

Overall, this is quite an enjoyable read with some serious stripper moves and awesome sex scenes. It did took awhile for me to engage with the main characters. Only at 40% did I started to feel this book might just worked for me. At the end of the book, I even learned that Rie Warren wrote some m/m books. I might need to check them out soon.

Lemme just get some ones and we can get this review party started... Because STRIPPERS + Rie Warren = one hell of a night. Reading...one hell of a night reading. That's completely what I meant.

Kinkaid Ryder, Probie 2.0. The newest prospect at the Retribution MC and...stripper? Whew, better hope the boys never find out. Kinky Kaid shakes what his Mumma gave him because being house boy around the club doesn't pay the bills, and money doesn't grow on trees. Women, however, seem too. He's never had trouble finding a willing pus...person to take to bed. But there's one girl that's not like that. Sadie Grace.

She's been his best friend for years, but even she doesn't know about his secret career. And when she finds out, not even a memorable lap dance is going to hide the fact that things have changed. Suddenly, Sadie's not just his best girl, Kaid wants her to be his girl.

But how can that happen when there's a big, naked problem standing in their way?

The fucking tears. God damn it, I was fine, I swear. I was enjoying the raunchy dance scenes leaping from the page straight into my imagination, the cheeky banter that friends-to-lovers stories (and Ms. Warren) seem to excel at, and the kinky (Kaid) sex that was just what the doctor ordered and then, BAM! Weeping, crying, heaving Beth, cursing Rie at the same time as thanking God above that this author came to my attention.

With salty streaks on my cheeks, I finished this book happy, hopeful and really freakin' ready to get to Bo's story next. There's just something about these Bad Boys of Retribution MC that has me ensnared. They're gritty and saucy, and while Kinkaid may not have gone to the brutal lengths of Hunter, it still packed a major punch. A punch, I might add, that's going to get you right in the gut. And the heart.

It may have been several days since I finished this book, but I certainly haven't forgotten the perfect pain I experience reading it; the highs and lows that I adored and hated in equal measure, and that rocketed this one to the top of my Rie Warren love list. Alongside all her other books. Because even if there are strippers, how's a girl to chose between bad boy bikers, sexy mechanics, racy romance writers and hot cops? Huh? ~ Beth, 5 stars

~~~

Holy hell . . . I don’t even know where to start. I feel like I’ve been through the wringer and somehow made it through the other side after a slathering of baby oil from a lap dance, crying my eyes out, and not throwing my Kindle.

Kinkaid Ryder . . . Lordy, this man is something. He’s both a male stripper and a biker. Not the 10-speed kind, but a hardcore, Harley riding biker. He’s the newest prospect at Retribution MC, aka Probie 2.0. And he’s hell bent on keeping his stripper life from his biker life. He hides his job even from those closest to him—even his best friend, Sadie.

Sadie, Sadie, Sadie. Sadie Grace and Kinkaid have been best friends since they were kids, but most days Sadie feels like she’s his kid sister. Sadie’s certain Kaid doesn’t see her as a woman—until one night, a bachelorette party, a lap dance and a mostly naked Kinky Kaid. They’re not best friends with benefits . . . yet.

Gosh, I just loved these two characters. I love a great “friends to lovers” story and Kinkaid did not disappoint. Filled with Ms. Warren’s crazy cast of supporting characters including the boys from her Carolina Bad Boys series—Josh, Nicky, Brodie and Boomer—plus Hunter, Bo and Cole from the spin off, Bad Boys of Retribution MC, this series, while light on “traditional MC” story line, is much more about friendship and family, especially when friends become family.

I love that Ms. Warren makes me laugh, cry, fume, sigh, smile, shrug, snort, and have a need for some other “action” while reading her books. That’s what makes me want to read more and more. Bring on Bo and Coletrane—July is much too far away. ~ Missy, 5 stars

The Bottom Line
I liked Kaid, loved his grandfather, and the stripper angle is fun. It’s your kinder, gentler version of a MC romance with all of the raunchy sex times you’d expect. If you love strippers and very light reads, check out Kaid.

Kinkaid Ryder is a young, fit, male stripper. He is loud and proud on the stage earning money to pay down his grandpa's medical debts, but keeps that part of himself secret from his childhood best friends, Sadie. Oh, and also from the guys at Retribution, because they wouldn't accept a stripper into their club, and he really wants to join.

See, Kinky Kaid, as he's known on the stage, doesn't have a lot of people in his life. His dad left before he was born, and his mom died when he was a toddler, leaving him to his Grandpa's care--and now that Gramps is sick, Kinkaid is gonna make sure his life is comfortable. Then, Sadie spots Kinkaid while out at a bachelorette party. and Kinkaid is just as stunned by the dressed-up version of his overall's wearing artistic tomboy BFF. The attraction is magnetic, but Sadie's so furious she cuts Kinkaid off for a bit. He's frustrated, and angry. And can't believe that she's harbored a secret crush on him for years. Finding him bare-ass naked, writhing for a lust-crazed crowd is too much for her to take.

While the make-up is tender, Kinkaid's job is one mountain on the path they can't seem to climb. I really enjoyed this quick read. Kinkaid is a 21 y/o, dumb, sexy dude who wants to eat his cake and have it, too. While he can't bear to have men ogle a clothed Sadie, he sees nothing wrong with giving hundred-dollar lap dances. I had to shake my head at his naivete. Still, he's earnest and compassionate and he learns his lessons right before the end comes. There's a lot of heart here and the soulful discussions Kinkaid shares with his ailing gramps are really something special. I've read lots of stories with a young gal stripping to support her family or education, so it was fun to get the flipside. It's a cool literary complement for fans who clamor to catch Magic Mike XXL this summer. Expect graphic sex, crude language, and a cocky stripper who learns to bare his heart and cover his body.

The guy's a male stripper? Seriously? It's a Magic Mike scenario. I think I laughed so hard I cried for all those chapter with the stripping. It's just hilarious. I mean, it's very admireable how he took care of his grandpa with that job, that relationship is even more beautiful then the main couple's. But still. And for the record, this whole stripping clubs thing, with guys walking naked everywhere, I find it pretty untastefull, the same way if they were female, but whatever. It's not like I'd ever live in America, thank God..

Overall Rating: 4.25 Rockin’ ★★★★

He is not called ‘Kinky Kaid’ for no reason…this guy is one down and dirty, take your clothes off and shake your moneymaker kind’a guy! In this the second book in author Rie Warren’s, ‘Bad Boys of Retribution MC’ we get a look at another one of her bad southern boys! This is Kinkaid and Sadie’s story, a story about BFF’s becoming something more.

Kinkaid was raised by his grandfather and taught to be a real Southern Gentleman. But time has a way of wreaking havoc on people and those we love grow old. His grandfather and Sadie are all he has left, except for his MC. His life is speeding out of control and he has no way of stopping it. While he is working to become a full fledge member, he worries that someone will find out the truth about his stripping. The bills have to be paid and he will do whatever he has to do to take care of his aging grandfather, the only dad he has ever known.

Sadie has always been a constant in his life, since early childhood, but lately his body has been reacting in a very unfriend like way. Everything changes for Kinkaid when he looks across the stage one night and meets his best friend’s eyes. Will she accept what he is doing or will he loose his best friend?

When your BFF is also the man of your dreams, what does a girl do? She keeps a friend only attitude and ignores what her heart is saying! That is until one night when she discovers he has been keeping secrets from her. When Ryder gives her a lap dance their relationship will never be the same.

Hero: Kinkaid Ryder 4.25 stars
Heroine: Sadie Grace 4.25 stars

Cliffhanger: No

Would I recommend this book: Yes! You have your MC romance with a twist, Probie 2.0 is a male stripper at a gentlemen’s club and no one knows about it, or so he thinks. This is a hilarious read, sometimes with tongue in cheek humor and yet still filled with love, drama and sizzling heat!
Would I recommend these authors: Yes! Each book that I read by this author reaches another level of the WOW factor! As you read, you discover characters that not only touch your heart but remain after the book is finished. The plots are deep but at the same time, simple with the stories they convey!

✯✯5 Kinky Stars!!!✯✯


Rie Warren NEVER disappoints me. Ever!! Kinkaid was over the top hot. Not only is he Probie 2.0 of one of my favorite MC's. He's also a hot hot hot stripper by the name Kinky Kaid. And, man does the name fit.

Kinkaid has been best friends with Sadie since they met when they were 10 and she gave him a bloody nose. He knew from that minute that she was the girl for him. But, Kinkaid put her in the friend zone and kept her there. Because, he refused to loose her.

Kinkaid is stripping for one thing. Money. His Grandpa Dean needs round the clock care and medication. He stays with him during the day and there's a nurse for the nights. He's the hottest thing at the club working only 3 nights a week.

Kinkaid has been awesome at keeping it a secret from the MC he's trying to patch into and Sadie. Until one night he's doing a new routine and comes face to face with Sadie. She's there for a bachelorette party. Now, he's forced to give her the lap dance of both their lives.

Sadie has always had a crush on Kinkaid. He was the one that pushed her in the friend zone. But, since the lap dance he can't get her outta his mind. Things between these two get pretty hot pretty quick. The fact that they have been best friends since they have been 10 makes it so much easier. They are so comfortable together. Now, there are no secrets between them.

If that was their happily ever after. Not! Kikaid is still stripping. Sadie is expecting him to stop. Kinkaid doesn't see the big picture. He's looking at it as a job to get money. She's not wanting any other women near him.

This book would have me laughing. Then, when Kinkaid and Grandpa Dean were together my heart would break a little more every time. Grandpa Dean just gets weaker and weaker. Grandpa Dean raised Kinkaid. He's the most important person other then Sadie. It was so nice seeing Brodie, Boomer, Hunter and the rest of the MC. They had me rolling every time they were around.

Rie always gives us men that are bad ass. They party hard, play hard and love the hardest. And, the women. Yes!! Sadie is the newest one. She was a tomboy. Yet, she's hot and just as kinky as Kaid. She doesn't drive a car. She's got a bike of her own. Only Rie gives me both men and women for me to crush on!

When I start a book by Rie Warren I am guaranteed a couple of things. One I will laugh my ass off because she can write some funny scenes. Two a sexy as sin hero that will leave your panties wet and begging for more. Three there will be drama, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot but it will be there. And finally I know when I am done there will be a happily ever after even if it is a bumpy road on the way there. Now I got all of those things with Kinkaid but I have to sadly admit this isn’t my favorite book by Ms. Warren. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed it a lot. I think I was hoping of more of the MC presence than there was.

Kinkaid is a male stripper, and a damn sexy one. Trust me when I say you could close your eyes and picture his routine because Ms. Warren explains it is great detail and damn I wanted to be throwing imaginary money his way. He is also a prospect for the Retribution MC. There is a reason why he strips, one that will warm your heart and totally see how good of a guy Kinkaid really is. He is also best friends with Sadie who when she finds out what he does for a living being pissed is an understatement.

Sadie is hurt when she finds out what Kinkaid does to pay the bills, she knows he looks at her like a sister but he has been keeping the secret from her and doesn’t want her like she wants him. I could understand to a point why she hated his job and was hurt but in my opinion she went to far too many times in my opinion in her voicing her hatred of his stripping. And that right there was another reason why I didn’t like this one as much as the others.

While I love being able to see the more personal side of the guys in the MC sometimes I want more of the biker life it is a biker series. Now saying that I am anxious to read about Bo in the next book, I think he may surprise us all with what is underneath his exterior, we know he’s gone through things with in the military but I have a feeling we haven’t seen a fraction of who he really is yet.

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian I Dig Good Books.

Kinkaid is Sadie's best friend of ten years. He doesn't want her to know he has been stripping to earn the money to pay for his grandfather's medical bills. He doesn't want the others at Retribution MC to find out either, not while he is trying to earn his patch. And it was all going so well, until Sadie, quite literally, caught him in the act! A lap dance later, and all those pent up feelings boil over and Sadie finally gets what she really wants - Kaid.

But the stripping gig is a shadow clouding their happiness. Can Sadie get over it, Can Kaid make her see, that its just a job to pay the bills??

This!! THIS!!! OH I Loved this book!!

Kinkaid is stripping to pay bills, while trying to get patched to Retribution MC, and he never, ever, til tat night Sadie catches him on stage, thought of her that way. Sadie did, she has wanted Kaid for as long as she can remember! The lap dance gets them up close and personal!

YES - its written entirely from Kaid's POV. But Sadie is quite vocal at points along the way, telling Kaid just what she thought, so I didn't feel I was missing out.

YES - it is written in the first person. I gave Hunter 4.5 stars for this very reason. I can't do that here. I enjoyed this so much more than Hunter, and it can only be put down to Kaid himself.

The MC club again takes a back seat. It also explains why there is none of the usual stuff that comes with MC books I've read, the club is legal, in every sense of the word. I LOVED that!

Hunter, JB and all the others pop up at points along the way, so I was pleased about that. We also meet Bo, who is up next and the doctor who helped Hunter. Bo is avoiding her. They are gonna be explosive, I can tell!!

So, even though its single POV, and even though its all in the first person...

5 full stars!

**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**

Kinkaid is the second book in the Bad Boys of Retribution Series.

Kinkaid Ryder is living three separate parts of his life. One part has him as a prospect in the Retribution MC. He's working his way to his patch, doing everything they want him to do. From cleaning the club or working the bar, he does what is asked of him. The second part of his life has him taking care of his elderly grandfather who took care of him when his mother died suddenly. He's doing what he needs to do to pay the bills. Which leads to the third part of his life, working at the GQ club as Kinky Kaid. Woman throw themselves at him, scream his name and toss money his way. He is the top dancer at the club. He works his assets to take care of his people. All those parts of his life are kept separate. Until the day Sadie gets lap dance from Kinky Kaid.

Sadie and Kinkaid grew up together. They are best friends, who know everything about each other, or so she thinks. Kinkaid has always felt protective and brotherly over Sadie. She was his girl, his friend. He never saw her as more until the day she walked into GQ.

I am loving this series. The boys of Retribution are a great group. They aren't like the typical MC they aren't the bad boys doing illegal things. These guys keep it on the up and up. Caring about each other and what happens to them. I LOVED grampa Dean. He was a great character who got me right in the feels. I can't wait for Bo. There is so much to this character I can't wait to see what made him like he is.

Kinkaid, also known as Probie 2.0 is a prospect for the Retribution MC. He’s a bona fide biker, and is working his way into a badass MC. His best friend, Sadie is part of the First Ladies of Redemption, sister charter of Retribution. They’ve been friends since grade school, and know each other inside and out.

Kinkaid has a secret he’s been keeping, even from Sadie. And if the MC finds out, it could be the end of his prospecting. Kinkaid, or as the ladies call him, Kinky Kaid, is the top-billing stripper at the Gentleman’s Quarters—GQ. Women can’t get enough of him, and he makes a good living catering to their fantasies.

When Sadie discovers what he’s been hiding—and not hiding when he gives her a lap dance—she starts seeing him in a whole new light. When Kinkaid sees Sadie at the club, she’s not dressed in her usual jeans, dirty boots, messed up hair. How could he have not seen how beautiful she was?

As they’re both discovering what has been under their noses, can they risk their strong friendship by giving into these newly found desires?

This book had a few twists I wasn’t expecting. I really liked the dynamic between Kinkaid and Sadie, and all the nuances of their relationship. Kinkaid has to make some decisions that will not only affect him, but his family as well. I’ll also admit, I had to grab my tissues a couple times. There was a great story here, and I’d love to know more past the end of this book. With Kinkaid being a stripper, there is plenty panty-melting action on his part. You also get to see the guys you met in Hunter, the first book of this series, and a few new ones.

Kinkaid is the second book in the Bad Boys of Retribution MC series.

I received this ARC for an honest review, and I give it 4 stars.

My Rating:

4.5 Steamy Stars

Favorite Quotes:

“Wasn’t anything wrong with him but frailty – a delicate – sounding word for the worrisome burden of old age.”

“Luckily, Sadie did feed me – leftovers of warmed up pizza. The ambrosia of the college student. And cold beer. The nectar of biker babes and dudes.”

“Remember the love of a good woman is better than dipping your prong into any old sauce, but decent bourbon? Best sauce to be found.”

“He’s left a window ajar – so his soul could escape.”

“The spirit was gone, the body all that remained. I could feel it in my bones, and the bones of this old house. It was empty, apart from me.”

“She shoved a business card in Bo’s hand, the picture of elegance with steel in her spine and no-nonsense on her mind.”

“Sadie’s eyes mirrored everything I felt, the friendship we’d always shared morphing into a love we’d grow old with.”


My Review:

Kinkaid is one of the steamiest books I have read in ages – my mouth actually went dry while I read. But more memorable than the spice – which was generously sprinkled throughout, I was knocked sideways by the sweet and deep emotions Kinkaid brought forth for his grandfather and his love. I teared up at his grief, something you don’t expect to do when reading a book that has been hyped as erotic MC romance. While I knew Rie Warren to be talented and have found her books to be well-written, funny, and entertaining, she definitely snuck up on me with this one, I didn’t expect the emotional intensity. Kinkaid is a handsome, multi-talented, well-endowed, sweetheart - and my new BBF.

Oooops! She did it again!
Rie Warren can do no wrong in my eyes. I love everything she writes and with every book she gives us her work gets even better!!

Rie Warren OWNS The Top 10 of Amazon Erotica! Fun erotica - hot, down home, blue collar, lets get real - slurpy, sexy, gritty HOTTNESS!

Rie has an AMAZING ability to create loveable, memorable characters. She creates worlds that you not only WANT to be in - you never want to leave them. Part of the reason is; when you get a new lead character he/she/ they/ their HEA ..continues with the series she's famous for. You don't have to say goodbye to beloved characters you've invested in - you get plenty of glimpses and face time with them down the road. That's NOT to say no one ever dies! Cuz holy shit! when she goes for the heart - Rie takes it with both hands! I don't cry easy but Rie can make me cry! Kinkaid has a ugly ugly cry waiting for you...as well as hot fun times and Kinky Kaid lovin.

Rie Warren?? Hell Yeah! This Book Series?? RIGHT NOW!

Probie Kincaid has a secret – he strips as Kinky Kaid in order to earn money to pay for his grandfather’s medical debts. The guys of the Retribution MC don’t know about his side job. His best friend, Sadie, comes into the club with a bachelorette party and is FLOORED to see him on stage! He can’t believe his tomboy bestie is all prettied up and one lap dance later they end up moving from just friends to more. Kincaid become Mr. “Don’t even look at my woman”, yet he sees nothing wrong with his stripping and doesn’t understand why it bothers Sadie.
Some of the scenes in this book were laughable! Rie Warren writes such hot, intense, sexy stories that I can’t believe I have not read any of her books before this series!

God, I wish I could give this damn book twice the stars I have to! Kinkaid and Sadie are the best of friends; they've been that way for both of their lives and neither one has ever had any intentions of taking it any farther (and if they have, they've damn sure never voiced it out loud)! To help pay his grandfather's medical bills, he moonlights as a stripper...and he's one of the best. What's better: Sadie has no idea, until she walks in with a Bachelorette party one night and sees him!! One look at eachother and MAJOR sparks fly.
Whew! This book is hot hot hot! Fantastic writing that keeps you coming back for more! I LOVED Kinkaid! Love Rie's writing even more!

Holy hawt hunks

Magic Mike's got nothing on Kinkaid! This was a fun book. Kinkaid is sexy, a good guy for the most part who has terminal young guy disease...doesn't think before he does stupid stuff. Luckily best friends and true love trump all. Book left me with a smile while reading...I'm a sucker for a love story and a happily ever after. Enough drama, and angst to keep it interesting(and yes even an ugly cry) but not so much I have a book hangover... #5perfectreadstars!

Kinkaid was a quick, fun read...unlike Hunter the first book in this series, there is no ex-military, trouble lurking around every corner suspense...just a fun Magic Mike, kinda feel. My heart broke for Kinkaid, at one point in the story and it's a true testament to the author when you can experience all those emotions, but you just knew that he and Sadie were meant to be...it was definitely a feel good HEA story.

Thanks again Rie!

Beautiful longtime friends turned lovers. When it comes to honest professions that most of society will turn their noses up to, I give the person more kudos for actually being able to do something that normal people won’t!! If it pays the bill honestly who cares. But I also think I can see both sides. Sadie with her not wanting others but herself to see her man & Kinkaid realizing what he’d do if she stripped in front of other men. But I also saw no matter how mad a person is if they love you truly then when you NEED them they’ll come. Much love & respect for those!!

Thank-you!!

I only gave this story 3 stars because it just did not move me in a way that the others did. Yes it started out with a "Magic Mike" entrance and it seemed like Kincaid was going to be a smarmy guy, trading all his "opportunities" on his looks & the fact that women went crazy all over him. That was not the case, however, the ridiculous drama between Sadie and him was the entirety of the book, for me? Not so interesting. I would like to have read more club interaction mixed with romance.

Stripper to stripped

Kaid has such a different story then the other’s. Sadie his best friend turn love of his life, was never in any danger, never taken or kidnapped. Just p*ssed off because the man she has always loved was a stripper and never told her. Kaid has a come to Sadie moment once his grampa dies and gives it all up except for his striptease apology for Sadie. Love their HEA

Oh wow, ok I really enjoyed this book. The descriptions were amazing and I was drawn into it. It was hot and erotic in all the right places. I loved his devotion and love towards his grandfather and the special bond they shared. My only complaint is the lack of MC details. Yes it was an MC Series read but there was nothing really about the MC factor.

Magic Mike?!

I have given this story a 3 star rating only, because it was exciting in the beginning but for me, the story seemed more focused on Kincaid's performance between his job & Sadie; I had wanted to read more about the club interactions.

good read

Don’t know why I’d bypassed this book but I really enjoyed it. Loved the strong relationship between Kincaid and his grandad. Very emotional. Then there was his relationship with Sadie and the interfering mc boys. Loved it.

I wanted to rate this higher but Sadie’s attitude just did not make her a likable person…Kaid a solid 4 stars but Sadie was a no for me

I Bad Boys della Retribution Mc non sono finiti! Rie Warren prosegue la sua serie spin off , situata sempre a Mt. Pleasant - North Carolina, e ci racconta la storia di Kinkaid e Sadie.

Kinkaid è un giovane biker, 21 anni, ed è una recluta del Retribution Mc di giorno...ma di notte è uno spogliarellista. Non lo fa per il piacere di spogliarsi e rimorchiare donne ben disposte a lasciarsi fare ogni cosa da lui. Lo fa perché suo nonno, Grampa Dean, è anziano e ha bisogno di assistenza. Non guasta che a Kinkaid piaccia molto ballare e lo sappia fare decisamente bene!


Sadie è la sua migliore amica, ha deciso di entrare nel Retribution Mc sezione donne ( ebbene si, se vuoi diventare biker non ci sono distinzioni sessuali in America! ), ed è una studentessa di arte. Si conoscono da quando erano piccoli e giocavano al parco.
Ma quando accompagna una sua amica ad un addio al nubilato in un locale di spogliarellisti, non riesce a credere ai suoi occhi : quel figone da paura sul palco, che sta dando il meglio di se, è il suo amico di sempre Kinkaid!! Perchè non ne sapeva niente ?

Ragazzi, la storia tra Sadie e Kinkaid è una delle più travagliate che abbia mai letto. Passionale, infuocata, tenera, dolce ma piena di alti e bassi. Il nostro biker sembra sbagliare tutto ogni volta che le cose si fanno serie e lei è troppo inflessibile, a parer mio. Ma il sesso riparatore è sempre la soluzione migliore e con Kinkaid lo è ancora di più!!

La scelta di diventare spogliarellista o exotic dancer, come preferite, viene fatta per una necessità. Rimasto senza madre ad un anno di vita, con un padre desaparecido, viene praticamente adottato da Grampa Dean. Adesso però è anziano e malato, per guadagnare i soldi necessari ,Kinkaid sacrifica se stesso e decide di fare orari assurdi la notte per ballare. Almeno sa che sta facendo del suo meglio per ricambiare tutto quello che il nonno ha fatto per lui.
Grampa Dean è un personaggio meraviglioso, il nonno che tutti vorremmo. Simpatico, saggio e progressista. Sa molto bene quanto il nipote faccia per lui, infatti lo sprona sempre a godersi la vita e non pensare ad assisterlo continuamente ma a Kinkaid non pesa trascorrere le serate libere giocando a scarabeo. Anche se si tratta di un personaggio secondario, il suo contributo alla trama è prezioso, i suoi interventi sono spassosi ed esilaranti. E' stato un'eccellente diversivo dall'aspetto erotico del romanzo.


Sadie, rimane esterrefatta quando si vede sul palcoscenico il suo migliore amico. Ha sempre provato qualcosa per lui, è troppo bello per restare indifferente. Oltre all'aspetto esteriore, c'è da mettere in conto che ha un grande cuore, è dolce ed un bravo ragazzo.
Quella notte ha cambiato tutto però. Mentre lei si sente tradita, lui inizia a guardarla con occhi diversi e anche se la conosce da una vita, è come se fosse stato sopraffatto da un colpo di fulmine. La desidera, la vuole e non riesce a trattenersi. Ma quale sarà la cosa giusta da fare? Rinunciare ad una amicizia secolare per la lussuria o vedere dove porteranno questi nuovi sentimenti ?
Sono risposte a cui sono leggendo il libro potrete dare risposta!!

Si tratta della serie spin off di Carolina Bad Boys, i biker sono il mio punto debole...ormai lo sapete...abbiamo già conosciuto Hunter, il quale mi aveva lasciato un tantino annoiata, mentre Kindaid per nulla!! Sarà che ho trovato il contesto diverso, i dialoghi più interessanti, insomma l'ho divorato e sono rimasta decisamente soddisfatta! Sul filone di Magic Mike, Kindaid ci fa sognare, oltre per le sue spettacolari prestazioni sessuali!!
Non so se arriverà mai in Italia...chi può dirlo....nel frattempo ve lo consiglio come lettura in lingua originale, il livello di difficoltà è accettabile e lo stile slang è più contenuto rispetto alle precedenti pubblicazioni. Non lasciatevelo scappare!!
