Sons of Rage MC #7
Striker
The best thing that ever happened to me walked back into my life with a little girl on her hip and killers on her heels.
Three years ago, I called Beth a liar. A traitor.
Thought she was feeding the feds information on my club.
She tried to explain. I wasn’t havin’ it.
Turns out, she was helping put her crooked boss behind bars.
My woman had been loyal all along.
I was the bastard who failed her.
Spent three years lookin’ for her, regrettin’ every word.
Now she’s back, saying she’s just passin’ through.
And she sure as hell ain’t offering me another chance.
Then I find out her little girl is mine.
Beth carried my baby. Gave birth without me. Raised our daughter alone.
Can’t blame her for keeping her heart locked up.
Fixing what I broke ain’t that simple.
But somebody’s hunting my girls, and they’re staying under my roof until I handle it.
Keeping them safe is my job.
Earning her forgiveness? That’s gonna take more than my patch and a loaded gun.
Beth knows I can keep a threat outside the door.
She also knows how badly I can hurt her once she lets me in.
So I’ll listen when it hurts. Show up when she expects me to fail.
Earn every inch she gives me.
For as long as it takes.
If she still wants to leave, I’ll have to let her.
But the bastard sending killers after my family? He doesn’t get to walk away.
Striker is the 7th installment in the Sons of Rage MC series.
Each book in the series is a standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after, packed with steamy chemistry, raw emotion, and protective, dangerous bikers who’ll burn the world down for their women.
For the best ride, read the series in order.

Sons of Rage MC – Striker
This is book seven in the Sons of Rage MC series and I don’t think I will ever get sick of great stories this author gives to these alpha bikers who are all about protecting those they love. Striker and Beth had a good thing going until Striker accuses Beth of selling out his club to the Feds. He wouldn’t listen to her and she wasn’t going to stick around when she wasn’t wanted.
Now three years later Beth is back to bury her uncle and she’s not alone. She has a cute daughter with her. She also has a stalker that will stop at nothing to get her to keep quiet about an upcoming hearing she was to testify at.
This book was packed full of so much suspense and good old MC action that made this book a big page turner. Ms. Ray has a way of keeping her heroes strong and with big hearts for those they love. This was another five-star read for me and I always look forward as to what she has coming next.

It was fun how Striker and Beth met and how they flirted. They were good together. It's too bad that Striker let the past get to him and he ruined things. But with that said, a few years later when Beth turns up, he doesn't hesitate to help her when she needs it and not only just passively help, but went all in to help her. This allowed them to get to know each other again and allow Striker to tell Beth how wrong he was about his past actions and why. This really went a long way to allow her to think about a future with him. It was also interesting the role that Josie played into things and how oblivious Striker was about her.
Things got crazy towards the end. I was glad for Beth that she had Queenie at her side to help her deal with things. While things were bad for the two of them, at least they had each other to talk to.
It was nice to see how this one ended, the bad guys gone, any threat over Beth gone, nothing but smooth sailing ahead for Striker and Beth.

Stricker is book 7 in the Sons of Rage MC by Aria Ray. Striker is the 7th installment in the Sons of Rage MC series. Each book in the series is a standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after, packed with steamy chemistry, raw emotion, and protective, dangerous bikers who’ll burn the world down for their women.
For the best ride, read the series in order.
I have read seven books, and yet I am still just as invested in the Sons of Rage MC as I was when I first began reading.
I really enjoy the way the author comes up with a new story and a set of new characters every time, while at the same time linking them to the wider world of the MC club. The club isn't just a background feature; it is the very heart and soul of each of the stories. The brothers, their families, the relationships between them, the sense of loyalty, and the feeling of belonging—are all essential parts of each book.
That is precisely the kind of thing I want from an MC series.
I am currently reading each new book for the couple, and at the same time going back to read more since I truly want to spend more time with the Sons of Rage family.
Striker was also a very good addition to the series.
I became immediately interested in Beth and Striker's story since they have a lot of history between them. It's not just a simple reunion of two people who had been apart. Striker was wrong, seriously. He didn't believe her when she needed him to, and as a result those consequences are still there three years later.
I was pleased that the second opportunity wouldn't just wipe that out.
I can see that Striker didn't manage to correct all his mistakes towards her simply by making a few apologies and displaying some protective behaviour typical of a biker. Beth has every right to protect herself and her daughter, and the effort needed to rebuild what they had together cannot be limited to the fact that they are both in love.
There is a great deal of regret, suffering, trust which has to be rebuilt, and a huge amount of emotion between them.
There's also the fact that Striker has a daughter.
I enjoyed this aspect of him. Although the protective biker was clearly at his peak when Beth and his daughter were in difficulty, this isn't merely about giving them physical protection; he also needs to go through all the things he didn't get to do during those years and have to find a way of becoming a member of a family that had already been together for many years before he joined it.
That provided the emotional aspect of the story with a great deal to work with.
At the same time, I was completely drawn in by the plot apart from the romantic element, since Aria Ray perfectly balanced the dangers, tension and actions connected with Beth's return against the romance.
That is something that this series continues to do well for me.
The story isn't developed simply to introduce risk for the two main characters, nor does it become too intense, so I still remain aware that I am reading a romantic novel. Besides that, it also has development, tension, emotional scenes, and a great deal of involvement from the main character.
I'm glad to be coming across those familiar characters again (Queenie ❤️❤️❤️). I'm also pleased with how the families get along. I'm happy that the main character is still relevant. Finally, I really love that each couple has their own story, rather than making me feel like I'm reading the same book over and over again.
Striker has once again given me a thrilling read and an exciting account, while further developing a setting that has become a part of my heart.
Now that I’ve reached the 7th book and devoured it, I can honestly say that, even after reading Rage, MC still hasn't let me down.
I'm definitely ready for number eight.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Seven books in, and I'm still just as invested in the Sons of Rage MC as I was at the beginning.
That's probably one of my favorite things about this series. Each book gives us a different story and a different couple, without ever losing the feeling that they all belong to the same world. The club isn't simply there in the background because this happens to be an MC romance. The brothers, their families, their relationships, and that sense of loyalty and belonging are an important part of every book.
And that's exactly what I want from an MC series.
At this point, I'm not only picking up each new book for the couple—I'm coming back because I genuinely want to spend more time with the Sons of Rage family.
Striker was another really solid addition to the series.
I was immediately invested in Beth and Striker's story because there is so much history between them. This isn't a simple reunion where circumstances kept two people apart. Striker made a mistake. A big one. He didn't believe Beth when she needed him to, and three years later, the consequences of that decision are still very much there.
I appreciated that their second chance couldn't simply erase that.
Striker knows he failed her, and I liked seeing that he couldn't fix everything with a few apologies and some possessive biker behavior. Beth has every reason to protect herself and her daughter, and rebuilding what they lost requires more than the fact that they still have feelings for each other.
There is regret, hurt, trust to rebuild, and a whole lot of emotion between them.
And then, of course, there's the discovery that Striker has a daughter.
I loved seeing this new side of him. The protective biker was obviously going to come out in full force once Beth and his little girl were in danger, but there is more to it than simply protecting them physically. He has to face everything he missed and figure out how to become part of a family that existed for years without him.
That gave the emotional side of the story a lot to work with.
At the same time, the external plot kept me completely engaged. There is danger, suspense and plenty of action surrounding Beth's return, and I thought Aria Ray balanced it really well with the romance.
That's something this series continues to do particularly well for me.
The plot never feels like something thrown in just to create a little danger around the couple, but it also doesn't become so dominant that I forget I'm reading a romance. We get the action, the tension, the emotional moments, the relationship development, and plenty of involvement from the MC.
Nothing has to sacrifice its place for something else to work.
Most importantly, after seven books, I still care about this club.
I love seeing familiar characters again (Queenie !!❤️❤️❤️). I love the family dynamics. I love that the MC itself continues to matter. And I especially love that each couple has been given their own story rather than making me feel like I'm reading different versions of the same book over and over again.
Striker gave me another intense and engaging story while continuing to build a world I've become genuinely attached to.

**Second Chance!**
Striker is the 7th book in the Sons of Rage MC series, and Striker and Beth’s second-chance romance was so intense, complex, and emotional as they navigated their painful past to find their future and their HEA.
Three years ago, Striker accused Beth of betraying him and selling out his club. But instead of listening to Beth and finding out what was really happening, he let his anger and hurt take over. In the end, Beth simply disappeared from his life, leaving Striker unable to find her. Now, three years later, she’s back in town to bury her uncle—and the last thing she wants is to run into Striker.
Unfortunately, Striker isn’t the only one who notices Beth is back in town. Soon, Beth and her sweet little girl, Josie, are in danger, and Striker’s protective and possessive instincts kick into overdrive. All he wants to do is protect Beth and Josie, especially when his biggest regret is letting Beth walk away in the first place.
But what I really loved was that Beth didn’t make things easy for Striker with a simple apology about what happened in the past. She agrees to accept protection from Striker and his MC brothers because she wants to keep their daughter, Josie, safe—not to make Striker feel better or to erase the hurt between them.
I loved watching Striker and Beth work through their past mistakes, regrets, and misunderstandings. They have to learn to forgive each other—and themselves—before they can finally move forward and build a future together as a family.
Along with their emotional second-chance romance, the intense action, danger, and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. The story moves at a fast pace, making it so easy to read from the first page to the last, and I honestly didn’t want their story to end.
Striker and Beth’s journey was filled with hurt, regret, forgiveness, danger, and a whole lot of love. I absolutely loved watching them find their way back to each other and finally get the HEA they deserved.

2.5* It was enjoyable but the plot at the end was a mess. It didn’t make sense why the baddies did what they did.
While I’ve enjoyed this series I really wish there were more details about things, and there’s a huge amount of mistakes again. There’s so many details missing that it does spoil it. Beth and Striker meet when his drone crashes in front of her and she kicks it. 😂 Striker is a man who is obsessed with watching his security cameras and has his drone as well. According to the author Striker watches his monitors all the time, yet he always seems to have his drones up, yet no one is controlling them!! 🙄🙄 The drones are never recharged but are in constant use. 🙄😂 Beth and Striker are soon falling in love, but then Striker accuses Beth of betraying him and his club, and a broken hearted Beth disappears for THREE years. She’s a certified accountant, so how does she disappear for three years?? When she comes back for her estranged uncles funeral, she has a two year old little girl with her. Striker realises she’s in danger and takes her and her little girl to live with him. He does apologise to her and accepts full responsibility for accusing her of something that didn’t she didn’t do.
🔵 This is one of the big mistakes. When Striker is telling Jinx what he did to her, Jinx is really angry as Striker should have told the club what he thought Beth was doing. Later on when Striker apologises to Beth in front of the club, they all know about it!
Soon they’re falling in love with each other again, but Beth is still in danger.
🔵 The baddies followed Beth around for weeks WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING TO HER.
🔵 There’s no discussion about contraception, yet Striker doesn’t guess it could be his daughter.
🔵 Apparently Beth met all the club three years previously, I wish that had been written about.
🔵 There’s hardly any mention of the club members yet again, so no clue who the other members are, how big the club is, and what they’re like.
I could go on but I won’t. Enjoyable quick read.

I’ve got mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, it had some good moments. But I also felt it was lacking in some areas and that the author repeated their own plot device.
Let me explain…
First, Striker and Beth started out as a strong and engaging couple in the prologue. Their flirtatious arguing was electric. The coffee-cup communication was very creative and so fun and remarkable that it deserves a star.
I also liked that Striker owned what he did to Beth. Yes, he had baggage when he excoriated her, but he realized that he was out of line and hurtful. He apologized and then proceeded to put his proverbial money where his mouth was through his actions.
The kiddo was cute. Did enjoy the bit with the boots. But she was terribly underused; she was obviously a plot device, not a character.
Beth and Striker’s romance had fizzled, as had their chemistry, IMO. Their reunion seemed to be the triumph of nostalgia over good sense.
The kidnapping plot was predictable, and one which Ray has used before. It was the obvious choice, and not the right one.
I can’t say that I found this book entertaining, but the coffee-cup flirtation was unique and cute, so I gave the book an extra star.
There is NO CHEATING in this book.

Striker blew his chance with Beth three years ago, when his past dictated his actions. He knew he had made a massive mistake and tried to find her when she left town. Jump back to the present, and he finds her back in town. When he sees she may be in danger, he can't hold back any longer; he needs to contact her to make sure she is safe.
Beth is back to settle her uncle's estate. She wants to leave as soon as possible, hopefully without running into Striker while she's here. His actions still hurt her. But fate has other plans. When Striker offers her his protection, can she keep things professional, especially when she still feels the attraction?
Striker knows Beth still has his heart; he's never looked at anyone else since her. Now her daughter Josie has a place in there too. He will tear everything down to the ground to protect them from any threat.
Beth realises she must tell Striker the truth, but there's never a right time. How will he react when he finds out? But when the threat becomes real, she has to pray that Striker finds her in time. This time around, she wants the future that was denied her three years ago.

Can you have a second chance after being so wrong
Striker is the seventh book in the Sons of Rage MC series by Aria Ray. I liked this story, even if I was unsure about it after reading the book description. The story is a second chance romance between Beth and Striker. When he accused her of betrayal and would not listen to a word she tried to say he turned out to be fatally wrong. Beth was working to put her crooked boss behind bars and would never have hurt Striker or the MC. She disappeared from his life and started over in a different town. It is now three years later and she has come back to bury her uncle.. She does not want to see Striker at all but that is not going to stop him from seeing her. But Beth has a secret she has took with her when she left, she was pregnant with their daughter who she named Josie. When danger comes for Beth and Josie it is Striker who will have to protect them both and his possessive instinct flares up around them also. He wants Beth and Josie and he will not stop until he has the family he never knew he had in his house and his life once again.

Striker messed up big time. He didn’t believe Beth, thought she was giving the feds info. So she left. With their unborn baby. Now three years have gone by and he’s not seeing her, not going to let her go. He sees his child. Realizes that he was wrong. She never lied, she never told the Feds anything. She was helping them put her boss away. Not now she’s in danger and he’s not about to let anything happen to her or their child. While she takes the protection, she doesn’t take him back. He has a lot of earning to do. Fixing and showing her he was wrong.
This was such an action filled story with danger and chaos. This was deep and spicy. Seeing Striker and Beth come back together was great. Absolutely loved this one.

This is a second chance romance. Problems and accusations caused major hurt and separation. Now a relative has passed and she comes back with a daughter but danger erupts. This is book 7 of this series and the books just keep getting better. I think the characters are very entertaining and the story line is full of action, secrets, danger pushing the page turner these books have become. The protection, family beginnings, and chemistry that lingers from before brings this book into the romance that needed for the finish I enjoyed this book very much

This was another fab addition to the series and it's filled with forgiveness, redemption and so much love. Striker lost his gal due to mistrust and now that she's back in his sphere, he's not about to let her go again. Beth had his daughter while she was away and I love how protective Striker became when he realized he was a father. Of course, the regret, hurt, trust issues, emotions and hot romance really had me invested in their outcome. Adding in the danger, drama and action sure made it a page turner for me ;D I really enjoyed it and how unique to the other books it was. Definitely recommend.

This second chance romance is a wonderful addition to the series. Striker lost Beth before because of his mistrust and his willingness to believe she was selling out the MC to the feds. He's had three years to realize he lost the best thing to ever happen to him. When she returns to town just long enough to settle an estate, Striker finds her before she can disappear again. However, he also finds someone else has been tracking her movements. This book is action packed as the Sons of Rage do what they do best when someone they love is in danger.

Striker and Beth have a history in this second chance romance. This MC series has everything you want in these books. Beth needed Striker and he wasn’t there for her. Three years later the feelings haven’t gone anywhere. What I loved best about this book was Beth not immediately giving into those feelings and Striker had to work to repair what he had broken. This is a fantastic, short, sweet, and steamy read.

Will Striker get a second chance? Will secrets unravel more between them? Well written the story and characters draw you in with steamy desires drama action, second chances and more.

This is the seventh book in the Sons of Rage MC series. It’s an emotional, second chance story that held my attention from start to finish. It’s a biker’s story so, of course, there’s danger, suspense, drama and action. Striker regretted how he ended his relationship with Beth three years ago. He does everything he can to earn her forgiveness. She makes him work for it! I enjoyed their steamy story.

I enjoyed Striker and Beth’s second chance story. Beth comes back to close down her Uncle’s estate but finds herself in danger. Striker made a huge mistake when he didn’t trust Beth years ago but now he is determined to protect her while working toward another chance to be the man she needs. A bit of drama, danger, vulnerability, secrets revealed, forgiveness, MC brotherhood and a lovely HEA.

very good
Striker gets with Beth, starts dating her. Beth is an accountant, doing company’s taxes, but this one particular company, something is not right. Beth turns FBI informant to help bring her boss down. Striker does not believe her, she leaves, she does not know that she is pregnant. I highly recommend this

Techie not lacking in heat
I enjoyed Beth and Striker's story. It had action, a little suspense, banter, and a cute little girl that stole Striker's heart. It was entertaining. The Sons of Rage take care of their own. This was my first read in this series. The book is a standalone but would be enhanced by reading the other books.

Missing Pieces
I am not sure why we started off with the history of their relationship but no experience on what happened to break them up. It was just referenced but not explained much. Seemed weird to see how the relationship started but not how it ended when the ending is what brings about the book.
Also, did you kill off Deuce!? You left us in the lurch!?
