Ryder
There was something about those white fishnets and Chuck Taylors. I had to have her on my bike.
She was a runaway bride. I should have rolled by and left her to handle her own mess. But from her stormy eyes to her grass stained wedding dress, everything about Jules got my attention and pulled me in. I stole a kiss from her before I even knew her last name. Jules had my heart with every touch. But a rival club had her locked into a future that would keep her prisoner. To be with Jules, I would have to take down a murderous enemy. Sacrificing my body was nothing. I’d already given Jules my soul.
Jules
I wasn’t going to sacrifice my freedom or my life for my Daddy’s evil group of bastard bikers.
I wore a dress I didn’t pick out, stood in a church I’d never seen, to marry a man I didn’t love. Hell, I didn’t even like him. But I was a daughter of the Devil’s Hawks. I was the princess in a violent fairy tale. So I ran. I ran straight into Ryder’s arms and knew he was the one. I loved Ryder, not the groom Daddy forced on me. If Daddy found out, he’d kill everything I loved. So I ran again. This time away from Ryder and into a trap I couldn’t escape. Now the man I love hates me, and the man who raised me has thrown away the key.

***This is a standalone, full length romance novel involving the men of the Great Wolves M.C. Each book is interconnected and part of a series, but they can be read in any order and DO NOT contain cliffhangers. They DO contain dark themes and elements***

Ryder
Great Wolves Series
Book 8
By Jayne Blue



Well this was another wild ride with Great Wolves Alpha’s,,, This time we focus on Ryder & his Runway Bride
She was the prized daughter of the ruthless outlaw Sonny Maldonado, Prez of the Southwood Devil’s Hawks

Jules:
She wasn’t person, she was property & daughter of Sonny Maldonado who was going use her anyway he see fix- & Sonny Maldonado wanted Cop & Judge in his pocket.. This man was medieval, he is selling his daughter off for flavors. Jules was to be married to younger David Wexler… or so Sonny thinks – First opportunity Jules gets she runs

Ryder:
Was just given the honor of Sergeant at Arms…. Ryder was on the road to just clear his head before heading back to Grand City.. He just wanted to camp out & enjoy the open sky by himself like his father taught him. Until he spotted huge white ball of fluff -women hauling ass on the side of the highway-A Runway Bride

This was another quick and engaging read from Jayne Blue – the story lines in these Great Wolves MC books go along at an incredible pace & I always get sucked in & read them very quickly. I really don’t want give away the book, so this all you are getting from me… But would you could read this book as alone, but I would highly recommend the whole series!

Another sizzling book for the summer! I loved how compassionate Ryder was created despite his bad boy exterior. Running into his dream girl literally on the run from her drama of course our biker turned Samaritan must save a damsel in distress. The Great Wolves Motorcycle Club is still trying to clean up their act and reputation all over. As they expand not everybody is excited to see them. Mix in this damsel and Ryder has his hands full. I love they whole team of Great Wolves and now they're all over the country. Who knows maybe Jayne Blue will tackle the presidential election with our gorgeous alpha motorcycle club!

I enjoyed reading Ryder and Jules story. She's a runaway bride running from an arranged marriage to one of her father's associates. Daddy is the prez of a rival gang and is evil to the core. Ryder happens to be in the right place at the right time to rescue her. A sweet love story with a HEA, no cheating and some intrigue. This one is more biker lite but has likable characters and a decent plot.

Great Wolves MC (8)

Yet another good book in the series, have started looking at more of Jayne Blue's books they are really good. Jules's father was the Prez of the Devil's Hawks MC, they weren't nice people. He decided to marry her off to his favourite policeman, son of his friend the Judge. She managed to escape through the toilet window at the church and ran for it. Ryder was taking a couple of days off, going camping. He spots her running complete with wedding dress and takes her with him. After a run in with some of daddy's thugs they spend a couple of good days then she's getting the bus away. Unknown to him she's had a message from daddy, he knew where she was, if she didn't get off at the first stop people would die, starting with Ryder. Unaware Ryder returns home and carrys on. His Pres sends him to help a new group of Great Wolves to set up a bike shop, they are having probs, Cruz the Prez welcomes his help. Things are going well Ridge who went too is helping set up security. Then Ryder sees her................

She pulls you in with the description of the characters that you appreciate the book even more. If you love alpha sexy biker men this book and series is an awesome start. Great job

Arranged marriage

The Devil Hawks Prez sells his daughter to marriage to keep them out of jail. Jules has other ideas and RNs away. Ryder enjoying a ride comes upon Jules in her wedding gown running what can he do but stop. This embarks then on a wild ride. Fab reading from a great author.

A good mc romance, but a dark side with it.
This because of her father who controls her and uses her to marry her off for his evil mc.

But luckily there is Ryder and she has some tricks on her sleeve herself.
I like the ending

This book starts off with the Great Wolves Grand Rapids MC and the new Sargent-at-Arms, Ryder. Ryder is on his way out of town for a little mental getaway when he sees something fluffy and white making its way out of the woods, and it definitely isn't a bunny rabbit. Running towards him is a beautiful blonde in a puffy white wedding dress and, wait for it, Chuck Taylors. That part right there has gotta be one of my most favorite parts of this book! Jules is a girl after my own heart with her choice of shoes :-)

Juliet "Jules" Maldonado was about to be forced into a marriage at the hands of her father, Sonny, Prez to the hated Devil's Hawks MC. Jules waited until she had a chance and bolted, only to run into another tattooed biker while making her escape. Except Ryder is nothing like the guys in her daddy's MC. Ryder is the hottest man she's ever laid eyes, has a sexy grin, and is willing to help her out in her hour of need. What starts off as a means to an end quickly turns into something more for both of them. But when her daddy finds her, Jules is forced to runaway again. This time she's trapped and back under her father's poisonous thumb. Will she ever get her happily ever after or will she be forced to obey her daddy and his whims for the rest of her life?

I've loved this series from the very start and this book is no different. Ryder is definitely the type of man you would want protecting you as well as dominating you. Jules had a taste of freedom then had it all yanked away yet again. You want to see them happy but get frustrated when they get ripped apart again. But never fear reader, Jayne's got it all figured out with some spicy MC drama! Ryder and Jules have a definite chemistry between them and they seem to fall for each other very quickly. When they are reunited, the intensity is still there, but now the drama has started back up and kicks into high gear with a rivalry turning into a war between two MCs in a small town. Great drama, great sex, great characters, and a plot that never disappoints!!

I received this for a honest review. I so love the series by Jayne Blue. Do not worry if you have not read any of the other books in the series. This book works fine as a standalone. In the previous book we got a small glimpse of Ryder, enough that I fell in love with him. I am so glad to see a book come out with his story.

I felt so sorry for Juliet Maldonado. She had the bad luck of having Sony Maldonado as her father. What made this so bad? Well her father was the president of the Devil Hawks. Unlike the Great Wolves who were on the up and up, the Devil Hawks were not. There were into all sorts of illegal activity. They owned their town. Not only did they have some cops in their pocket but they had a judge as well.

Juliet had the bad luck of being told she was going to marry the Judge’s son, Officer David Wexler. I guess most girls would of loved that, but Juliet did not want to be part of her father’s corruption. She did not want to be part of a payment or deal. She wanted the chance to be free and make her own decision. To run her own business without her father’s dirty hands involved in it. But she was not that lucky. Her father would drag her to the alter screaming if need to be.

I so loved Ryder. Ryder has this bad boy flirty side to him. Oh don’t get me wrong he can pound heads if need to be but there is a side to him that cares. When Ryder saw Juliet needing saving he was very quick to jump in. He will have to go to great lengths to keep Juliet safe and at times it seems that he failed. The thing I love about Ryder is he does not give up. If he sees something is not right he is welling to make it right. He had fallen so hard for Juliet and will bend over backers to keep her safe. Will it be enough? Can he truly have the woman he loves or will her father get in the way?

Another really good Great Wolves MC romance! I have enjoyed this series so very much. This time around Ryder is the lucky biker who is on his way for a few days of relaxation when he comes across a woman in a wedding dress running along the highway. He stops to help and agrees to help her get farther away from where she is. Jules (Juliet) Maldonado is the daughter of Sonny, Prez of the Devil's Hawks, a really nasty MC club and she was being forced to marry a dirty cop she didn't even like so she escaped. They are stopped by 3 of the Hawks but Ryder puts them down with a little help from Jules who throws a rock at the one with a gun. They manage to get away and spend 3 days camping out and having fun. Then Jules has to leave and she boards a bus going west. Ryder knows it's for the best but he has still fallen for her. Six months later he runs into Jules in the town where a small chapter of Great Wolves are trying to get their legitimate businesses off the ground. He's shocked to see her with a very old judge who is all over her. When he finds out why she went back he decides to help her take down the bad guys. Buy this book to find out how the good guys manage to defeat the bad guys and Ryder and Jules get their HEA. I received a free book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this action packed short story. Ryder is book eight in the Great Wolves MC series. And although I should have read book one first, I read eight. Don’t ask me why, I have no idea, but I am going to backtrack and read the previous books.
I like Ryder, but I LOVE Jules! She is completely selfless & bad’ass when she needs to be.

Jules has never lived for herself, she has never had freedom, she is treated as property. First her father tries to marry her off to one guy, and then another when the first one doesn’t take place due to Jules deciding to go for a run in her wedding dress ;)

Ryder was out on his motorcycle, whilst on his way to a well-deserved camping trip, he spots a girl in a wedding dress running down the road. Intrigued, he stops to help and he soon grows close to Jules.

After spending a couple of days of freedom with Ryder, unbeknownst to Ryder she is forced back to the evil clutches of her father.
Six months later and Ryder is back in town to set up/help with a new business. It isn’t long until he gets the shock of his life when he bumps into Jules.

After a few rough incidents, Jules and Ryder work together to bring her father down. But will they succeed before it’s too late?

Another great story from the Great Wolves MC! I fell in love with both Ryder and Jules from the very start. Jules father made a deal to give her to the judge's son for favors. she was trying to escape when Ryder accidentally happened upon her. He saved her and they almost immediately fell in love.

When Jules has to leave him, he thinks she will be safe, but she ends up back in her father's clutches to save both Ryder and his mother. When Ryder finds her again, he is determined to save her and have her as his own. To do that, they must take down not only her father and his MC, but also the judge. Eventually love does conquer all and they are together.

I really enjoyed this story and all of the others in both this series and those connected to it. I absolutely love Jayne's writing! You can tell that she knows what she is writing about. If you want a good read try these books out! I think you can read them as stand-alones, but I would highly recommend the whole series!

This book was given to me or an honest and impartial review.

Juliet "Jules" Maldonado is running away from her own wedding to get away from her father's controlling ways. Jules' father is The President of Devil Hawks just so happens to get away with whatever he wants period. Jules doesn't have a plan for what to do next only that she needs to be gone from here now. Ryder Montrose just earned Sergeant in Arms patch for The Great Wolves Grand City Chapter. Ryder is looking forward to nice relaxing days camping but all that changes with a flash of white running down the road. Ryder's whole world is about to change in ways he never expected or believed possible. Can Jules get away? What's next for Ryder? Your answers await you in Ryder.

I keep waiting to be disappointed by this series yet time an again I'm proven wrong. Great Wolves MC Series is really complex and totally awesome. The story and characters are compelling, intriguing, real, honest, gritty, and raw. I look forward to my next adventure in this series.

Such a good read. Loved getting to know Jules and Ryder and the twists and turns that happened in this book kept me on the edge of my seat most of the time. I needed to know what would happen next so therefore it was a quick read for me and I loved every moment.
Ryder was the whole package - tattoos, bad boy, flirty, biker.. who wouldn’t love him! Loved the interactions between each character, it was a mix of humour, angst and emotional rollercoasters. I liked seeing a whole different side to Ryder when he was with his mother, it was so sweet! Jules was also a great character. Loved her passion and fiery personality, I think they are perfect for each other.

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review. This is a good book, with a good plot, there was some good humor, making me laugh out loud, there was some seriousness, some drama, and a lot of sitting on the edge of your seat. Downside, I think it could have used more beta readers or something, I found a bunch of mistakes (grammar & spelling) & there's no telling how many I missed (on the plus side- the author let me know that the mistakes have been addressed before Publishing!). It's worth getting & reading this book. The author, Jayne Blue, writes a fabulous story that pulls you right in.

When Ryder saves Jules from a fate worse than death, they spend three glorious days together. Can you fall in love after three days?
I loved this story line, it was exciting, well written, fast paced, clever and it had me hooked from the start. The characters were great especially Ryder and Jules, I loved these guys. It was great to catch up with the Great Wolves MC again, I can't wait for the next book in the series. As always Jayne Blue delivers a top notch read! I highly recommend.

Thank you Jayne Blue I Loved this !!

Savannah runs away from her arranged marriage on her wedding day in full white gown and a tatty pair of Chuck Taylors. She's a vision a fast moving white fluffy meringue as races along a deserted road.

I received an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review. Jules is the daughter of the Devil Hawk MC President. After running from her forced wedding ceremony, she meets Ryder. Ryder is out to spend a few days camping and clearing his head. He decides to take Jules with him after they are in an altercation with some of the Devil Hawks. A few days together changes their lives forever.

This is a great story that fits well with the series. It can be read alone but is better within the series.

I am so hooked on this series! I loved the runaway bride scenario. Jules was a mix of independence and wanting to please her father, like she was expected to. But when she decides to find her own way, it turns into one hot steamy romance. I loved when Ryder took her to visit the little shop called Light the Path, the little hand painted quotes on the wall had given me a good laugh. This book is for those of you who love adventurous bad boy stories with some serious plot twists. I sure did find this to be a wonderful read.

Ryder and Jules… where to start? We open with hot, sizzling action when Jules is being auctioned off to the highest bidder, not only with Daddy’s blessing but with Daddy himself putting the dominoes in play. Ryder and Jules have a passionate week, then she goes back to the only thing she knows. Ryder of the Great Wolves MC is trying his damnedest to go legit. Can he do it? Can they survive the passion they have for each other that always leaves bodies and destruction in its wake? Is it even worth it? I loved this book, and can’t say enough good about it.

Another fave from Jayne Blue! Boy oh boy, I do love the Great Wolves MC books and Ryder didn't disappointment me. Ryder and Jules are a great couple! The book is full of ups and downs, chemistry and suspense. Ryder is a great character! Sexy, caring, and totally alpha! Jules is a wonderful heroine in a very difficult situation. I read this book in one sitting and when I was done, I was once again sad that there wasn't more to read. I look forward to Ms. Blue's next book and definitely recommend this series!

She Won't Just Take It

An ARC was given to me for an honest review. He's Her father and she can't count on him. He is her problem. So the only thing she can do is run. He needs a break from the club so he's going camping. Instead of a relaxing time he ran into her. This is an exciting, intense romantic suspense that keeps you engaged until the last page. You will enjoy a interesting and entertaining read. Enjoy I did.

Loved the book. If your into MC Biker Romance books then this is a book for you to read. It has violence, romance, gangs what else can you ask for. You just need the visual part and that's easy to imagine when your reading this book. When I started reading this book I didn't know it was a series. Now I want to read about other characters from the Great Wolves MC. Loved this BOOK !!!!! : )
