A decent instalove read that moved quickly and wasn’t short on shenanigans or strained family dynamics.

The FMC definitely did not read as 30 years old. Her naivety was obviously part of the plot, but it still had me rolling my eyes at times because girl… grow up. You’re a little too old for the rebellious teen act. And it took her entirely too long to stand up to her mom.

Much like Deacon, I found parts of this overly wordy and flowery in a way that made the narration and dialogue, both internal and between characters, feel unnatural. Even with the FMC being positioned as upper echelon, the dialogue still didn’t feel authentic and overall I still had a hard time connecting with the writing style.

In terms of storyline, I wish Nicole’s shift in behavior had been addressed more clearly. That whole shift left me with questions
.

Overall, it kept me reading and there was enough mess to hold my attention, but I never fully connected with the characters the way I wanted to. By the end, it was fine for what it was, quick, a little dramatic, and entertaining enough, but not one that’s going to stick with me.

I Want a Rough Neck!

I love going to Ribax it’s always a great time when visiting. 😂😂 RB always writes dope stories that make you love the characters regardless of their flaws or backstories. Righteous was holy and hood, tough yet soft, fine and dreamy. He met Jariyah and intended on leaving her right there but couldn’t. This man was smitten with her and fell instantly. She was so intrigued despite his toughness and exterior she decided to see where it could go. Knowing the powers that be could cause him and those he cares about harm; she proved her loyalty and devotion to him. Those around him that weren’t initially trusting of her sure or her intentions, but they saw firsthand just how hard she goes for him. That caused them all to let her in and it proved that she was just right for Righteous.

Righteous

3.5/5 stars

I liked Righteous’s character. He was unapologetic about who he was and was very protective of Jariyah. His plan to scare her straight backfired when she couldn’t be swayed from what she wanted even though some of the things he said gave her pause.

Jariyah lived a very charmed and sheltered life, but she was determined to find something different than the yes-men her mother kept introducing her to. Jariyah wasn’t always a likable character because of her naivety and thinking she was untouchable because of who her mother was, but she quickly realized that wasn’t the case. It was good to see her finally stand her ground with her mother fully and live her life under her own terms.

Righteous and Jariyah, Loving You Fills My Heart

This author delivers nothing less than 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reads & I expected nothing less with this on!!!…
Sometimes parents forget that their children wants their own path in life and their mistakes are just that, theirs!!!…Jariyah took ctrl of of her life and was happier with her choices!!!…I was glad it did not destroy the relationship she has with her father!!!…
Righteous said she was his and he was going to keep her safe, with or without his MC Brothers!!!…
I love how their relationship developed and what could have been a disaster, turned into an opportunity to get to know someone that was not your type, but filled a void and loved you better than you have experienced!!!…

Righteous and Jariyah!!

Jariyah went on the other side of town looking for a man opposite of what her mother, the mayor, kept pushing on her. She ends up finding Righteous with the help of his sister. Righteous and Jariyah finding each other was just what they needed. I enjoyed their banter and their connection. I also enjoyed how protective Righteous was of her, and the way he didn't play about her. I loved the camaraderie between the motorcycle club members. Shadow especially had me cackling with his crazy self. 😂 This was a highly entertaining book with deep-seated feelings, humor, drama and intense moments. Great book that I wholeheartedly recommend you 1 Click!!

Chayse and Jariyah

Chayse was asked to put fear into her. He 3nded up falling for her.

Jariyah was bored with the type of men in her circle and wanted to know what it would be like to date the opposite of what she was used to.

Chayse and Jariyah were set up on a blind date. He tried to be mean and brash, and she dismissed all his antics. She saw him and claimed him.....lol

Chase did his best trying to deny his feelings, but eventually, he had to accept them. Jariyah was sure she knew what she wanted until she had to be around his MC family.

They both had to deal with a little bit of pushback from their families as they relationship progressed.

Book 6

What can I say about book 6 of the BLP MC Series? Riley did her big one with this book!!

It was so good to spend time with Deacon and Squeak, while meeting Nicole, Righteous and Navea!

Navea knew she needed a man with many layers and not the put together guys her mom wanted her to date. So she asked Nicole to introduce her to someone and the rest is history.

He tried to scare her away but he knew she was different from their first date and she wasn’t scared of his life even though she should have been. If you like opposite attract romance, then add this book and the rest of the series to your TBR, you will not be disappointed!

Fun

Okay, now this was a fun read. I loved jariyah and righteous together. She's a good girl looking for a bad boy and d*** skippy, she found it. Not, my girl, I have making men stop and pause, loved their whirlwind romance. I do have to go back and read deacon's story to see about him and squeak. Very, very interesting to find out. If there's a story behind righteous sister Nicole, because I feel like there's something there. Thank you so much. But this is definitely a quick and fun read

Righteous

OMG...this line damn near took me out! Why Riley? Why? Why? Why?

“He’s a great God! E, E, O, C, L, O, P,”. Not only did Jariyah put on her best Sister Mary Clarence act, but she enlisted Grammy too! Whew Chile my side hurts from laughing.

This was a great story. Riley always includes humor. Big G, action, and lots of love. Chayse was perfect for Jariyah. The MC thought that she was a pampered princess, but my girl had layers. She knew from go that Righteous was her person. I love them for each other.

Jariyah didn't want the life her mom wanted to have and be an image she wanted her to be when it wasn't what she wanted, but she still did it to please her mother.

Lmao righteous mama, I love her .she cracks me up, especially when she calls her son .

His dog and iguana diva & Lucy, i love that.

Deacon and righteous are hilarious .

Righteous had no idea how gorgeous jariyah and his asshole act didn't scare her away at all, lol

I loved how protective righteous was over her. Shadow the shit he would say had me laughing. i just loved how they down for him, whatever it may be.

Righteous got him a book. If you read Deacon you would know they were cousins. The way Jariyah put a hold on him was funny. He failed at the attempt to steer her away, she reeled him in.

She showed everyone that she was more than her mother's daughter. Her foot stood strong on their own ground. Her connections came in handy plus she saved her heart. Navea rose to every occasion and made the crew a believer.

This was a good read.

Riley Baxter always hits with a homerun! That bombass connection between Righteous and Jariyah was incredible! They were both invested after their first meet up, even though Righteous knew the stakes were high.

She was fiesty and determined to live for herself. Once feelings were caught, there was no turning back. Loved how they were protective of each other and covered each's back, no matter what.

It was just a good read for me!

Amazing Read!!!

This author really went all the way out to make you feel this Book. The characters meshed together perfectly. The story blended lot of different scenarios seamlessly. Jariyah and Chayse were definitely made for each other and lived how their story came together. Although I really thought there would be more kickback from the mayor. However her daughter is at to old to try and control. Although she did attempt.

This was Different!

Jariyah is a polished, privileged, stubborn mayor’s daughter who felt as if she was being suffocated (figuratively) by her mother. She was constantly matched to boring, kiss ass men and told how to behave and where to be. Fed up, she requests a blind date with someone who is “Bout Dat Life”. As they say, be careful what you wish for because she meets her match!

Chayse is Righteous

Righteous (Chayse Redmond) is just what Jariyah needs. The quick wit, steamy banter ,and text bring instant admiration between this couple. Baxter weaves a beautiful tale of attraction, obstacles, and family drama between this upper crust paralegal and biker restaurant owner. Read it y'all!

Righteous and Jariyah’s story had promise, especially with Jariyah being the mayor’s daughter because I knew the setup could bring some good drama and tension. But for me, I never fully connected with either character enough to truly care about what was happening in their lives or relationship. Overall, this one was an okay read, but I wanted a stronger emotional connection to the characters.

She started out as Jariyah, then went by Nevae and ended up Siren! This was really good. She said she needed a rough neck and messed around and found out... alot! My only wonder is what her mama Mayor Owens, had going on. My hope is we get another dose of these two and find out what mama mayor had going on behind the scenes...

Thug Love

This was different kind of Love Story. Nicole the sister introduce her friend to her brother. The deal was to scare her away.Guess what they fell in love with each other.
Jaliyah was determined to to walk on the wild side. Righteous was hit with the love bug.
Excellent story.

We need a sequel.

Because the conflict between Siren & her mom was so intense the majority of the book. It only is fair to continue with their drama. And I could see the opposing issue is a want to be suitor still pursuing her. It would also shock our systems when the parents meet & a wedding is had. That is a great second book.

Great read.

Jariyah was tired of her mother playing match maker, so she went out to find a man that lived on the edge. Boy, did she find it. Righteous was just what she wanted and needed, and she was the same for him. Some stuff went down, and well, read it for yourself.

I love how you can fall in love with someone who never thought it would be. I am glad she walked away from her controlling mother.
I am also glad Righteous believed in her.
True love will find you.
The book was funny. I would recommend this short read

Favorite so far

I really enjoyed reading this one. It's my favorite of the series so far. I love the message. No one should dictate who you choose to spend your life with. Against all odds go for what your heart desires. Well written!

Righteous goes on a blind date with Jariyah as the request of his sister. The goal was to scare her out of the hood but she’s intrigued and he’s mystified. They end up getting involved despite the naysayers and they find an everlasting love. I loved it.

all the things

Riley, this is definitely my best book by you. I laughed, I was touched. All the things. That ending alone. Oh wow. Would have loved to see more with Nicole and Siren, but we can fill in the gaps

Well done

Hmmm

I love Riley Baxter as an author, however, Righteous was just an okay read. There are a few funny parts, romance, but very little drama. I found Jariyah was lackluster and I’m not sure how Righteous fell for her.

Righteous and Jariyah were cute! He was supposed to be showing her everything she shouldn't want in a man and all it did was draw her to him! He tried to deny himself before he quickly gave up and was all in. I love how Jariyah was 10 toes down behind him. She didn't care who didn't like it! I wish we could've gotten more details into Righteous sister and why she was so hot and cold. Perhaps she'll get her own story some day! Either way this made me go back and ready Deacon's story! I'm looking forward to reading more from Ms. Baxter's catalog!
