Jada Michaels has been lusting after Detective Ryder Lemaster for two years, but failed to get more than a passing nod from him at the police station. Then an opportunity arises to further her career by investigating the murder case of a friend of Ryder’s on the sly. After he tries to dissuade her by making a bet and losing, Jada agrees to let Ryder tutor her in order to attend a private party with all the suspects invited as guests.
Ryder struggled against his attraction to Jada because he could have sworn the IT technician didn’t possess a submissive bone in her sleek, well-toned body. To his astonishment, and hers, she responded without fail to every hard slap and every dominant demand. But after losing his wife to cancer, he swore off relationships and refuses to let his need for Jada go any further than their short foray into the investigation. It takes seeing another man come on to her and a risk to her life to open his eyes to what has been right before him all along.
As the murderer is revealed and secrets on Magnolia Island unearthed, the Lemaster men and their women have to come to grips with the betrayals surrounding them.
I live in the Midwest with my husband and two dogs, enjoy spending time with my daughter, babysitting her two dogs, reading and working puzzles. We have traveled extensively, but I much prefer being a homebody.
I began writing erotic novels with an emphasis on erotic spanking five years ago never dreaming that I would get published. I just celebrated the release of my eleventh title and am very thankful to my publisher, Pink Flamingo, for taking a chance on me and giving me the opportunity to enjoy a fun career. While my earlier books lean more towards straight erotica that will appeal to only a very select audience, my last five books are erotic romances. I enjoy hearing all comments from readers.

A wonderful ending of this series. I loved the banter between Ryder and Tara and their exploration into the lifestyle. And was really surprised when the killer was revealed. Didn't expect it at all
After playing out the mystery over the previous two books, the murder is finally revealed in the final book in the trilogy. I'm avoiding spoilers, but the murderer is not who I suspected, which is both good and bad (there could have been more foreshadowing). The story between police detectives Ryder and his newbie colleague Jada is great. I love how she gets involved in the case by beating him (or at least tying him) in hand-to-hand combat. She's tough and brave, and willing to do anything to solve her case and get her man. I really like the characters, and the writing is good, though the ending is a bit rushed.
Ryder is the third book in the trilogy and while it can be read as a standalone I recommend reading the first two in the series before this conclusion. While I loved the other books in the series, Logan and Hunter, this was my favorite. Ryder is a widow. After his wife died from cancer, he has not been able to move forward into a committed relationship. Jana is an IT tech that works with Ryder in the police department. She really wants to move into being a detective and sees helping solve the murder of Lynn Baker her way into her dream job. These characters are down to earth and yet they seem to spark into something special when together. Jana seems to bring out the protective side of Ryder and this only leads to fireworks when they disagree. However, Ryder does not see any sign of Jana being submissive and he needs a submissive to feel complete. As Ryder starts to prepare Jana for the party, can she let go of her insecurity and uncertainty and let her kinky and submissive side out? Can Ryder let go of his fear of commitment after becoming a widower? Can Jana have both the career she desires and Ryder both or will she have to choose? Come read and find out.
The third book in this trilogy is an amazing ending to an already wonderful series. The scenes are filled with erotic sex scenes, lust, love, mystery and intrigue. The author draws you in with the great main characters as well as the numerous secondary characters. While the brothers and cousin are trying to figure out who killed Lynn Baker, they are each on their own journey with the ones they love. At the same time these men are suspicious and upset by the prospect that one of their close friends would betray them and be a murderer. The alpha male characters are true to form. They like to be taken seriously, are protective, and determined to keep those they love safe at all costs, including a "warm bottom." The women of the story are not just submissive women but women who are also strong and determined. They are not willing to let go of finding out who the murderer is even against the wishes of their men. This author takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride with many twists and turns along the way and this last story is no different. Being drawn into the story from the beginning, the reader is not only routing for these wonderful couples but also intrigued to see who the murderer is among the group. Each time I thought I knew who the guilty person was it changed and I had to start again to figure out "who did it" and why. In the end I was surprised to see who took such a young and promising life. I highly recommend not only this book in the series but the entire trilogy!

The story is the third and final of the Murder on Magnolia Island, and with it, the plot thickens, the suspects are numerous, infidelity, betrayal, threats, and in the end, more questions with answers. While this third book will read as a standalone, it gives enough back story to keep the reader up-to-date, to fully understand the dynamics of all the Lemaster men and the women in their lives, it is best to read them in order.
Jada Michaels works in the IT department of the police force where Ryder Lemaster is a detective. These two have skirted around each other for two years now. From a drunken kiss at a Christmas party, they now avoid each other. There is an attraction that is evident, but not acted upon. Jada has been trying to get assigned to the detective unit, and the only reason she is working the murder case of Lynn Baker’s death is that Ryder must be excluded due to personal conflict, since it happened on Magnolia island, and he and his brothers are still on the suspect list.
Ryder enjoys playing with submissive women, and will even indulge in ménage scenes at their parties. The one thing he avoids is a commitment or becoming involved in an exclusive relationship. Of the three Lemaster boys, he was the one who married, but his wife Patty died in the first year of their marriage from breast cancer. He will play but refuses to allow another person to become that close to him again. Jada is like forbidden fruit, something he is tempted by but tries to avoid.
The plot will have Detective Combs taking two weeks vacation and placing the Lynn Baker case on hold and sending Jada back to the IT department. Jada will convince Ryder to allow her to continue working secretly on the murder and even to allow her to attend kink parties at Magnolia. It will include him and her exploring, where she will be subjected to bondage, dominance, and his control. Ryder doesn’t see her as a submissive, but Jada’s response and cooperation prove her determination to try and help find the killer. Keeping their emotions out of the equation may be the hardest part of the deal.
Each of the friends who attend the parties on Magnolia will be considered suspect, and Jada will attempt to try and see if she can help catch the killer since she is an outsider to the group. Only a few people know that she is with the police, and it must remain a secret for this investigation to find a conclusion. There will be jealousy among some of the female guests for her being with Ryder. She will overhear a conversation, witness angry glances, and find clues. Could one of the Lemaster’s party friends be a killer?
The story is full of angst, betrayal, secrets, deception, infidelity, dubious consent, danger, and has a shock and awe ending. It will also have Logan and Melanie marrying. There are multiple spankings, BDSM scenes, explicit sex, along with mystery and suspense. With this final book, the killer is revealed and why she was murdered. Once again, BJ Wane had delivered a wonderful and spellbinding tale full of suspense. I can’t wait to see what will be next.

Ryder is the third and final book in the Murder on Magnolia Island series by BJ Wane, and truthfully, I’m sad to see it end. I’m rather bummed out that there aren’t any more Lemasters out there. But, I know BJ will come out with another juicy series!
Ryder is the last single Lemaster, and is also a police detective that is still trying to solve the murder of submissive Lynn. He’s also trying to desperately avoid fellow detective Jada Michaels, who he’d kissed in a drunken moment at the department’s Christmas party. Since he worked with her, and she didn’t have a submissive bone in her body, she was off-limits. Or was she.
Jada is fiercely attracted to Ryder, she also wants to prove that she’d make a good homicide detective, so she finagles her way into an invite out to the island to investigate. Ryder soon finds out that Jada isn’t quite what he thought, but as the investigation winds up, will Ryder be able to protect her from the killer?
This was an excellent end to the series, and though I started to get an idea of who the killer was, it was still a surprise to see coming. BJ did an excellent job on this series! It’s definitely a keeper for sure, and I know I’ll be re-reading them all again and again!
This is the third and last book in the Murder on Magnolia Island trilogy – having been preceded by LOGAN and HUNTER. Ryder is the brother of Logan and cousin of Hunter, and they have grown up together and share a lot of their lives together – including an interest in BDSM and an interest in sex activities in front of their friends. Logan and Hunter found their love interests in each of the preceding books; in this book Ryder gets to know Jada, when she uses some subterfuge to get him to let her join him in the investigation of a murder that took place in the first book, LOGAN. Since they are both detectives – he investigates crimes and murder, while she is an IT technician who wants to become a detective, it makes sense, and the process of training her to appear as a submissive in front of Ryder’s friends lends itself to some interesting and enjoyable episodes of spanking and other activities. Both characters are well developed, and the realization that they belong together comes in a reasonable way by the end of the book. How that is resolved, as well as the murder, makes for a good story.
Ryder’s fascination over Jada and her lusting for him is almost what brought them together, he was still fighting his feelings for his wife whine he list only 8 months after marriage was what held him back but when she made him a betting proposition and he took her up on it thinking she would back down but that didn’t happen, so as their like turns in to love the overriding theme was to find Lynns killer all Ryder’s friends where suspects which was sad because they were friends but uncle Jim and his work with the veterans leaving the forces damaged made the boys Logan, and twins Hunter and Ryder really proud until the truth came out. This series at first I was thinking the author was drawing it out but it very cleverly worked a great I highly recommend this series and it’s up to you to find out who did it.
Love this author. Never disappointing. Also love this series and look forward to upcoming books. That being said this and the other books in the series can be read as a standalone. Why I especially love this book is that all the characters, secondary as well, are well defined with lots of emotionalism. Also the plot is well thought out with lots of suspense, action, erotic and sensual moments and some spanking thrown in for spice. Please please read this book and go back and read the others in this series as you can not go wrong as has a bit of everything to keep you entertained and happy.
Ryder is book 3 of the Magnolia Island trilogy and it is as good as the other two. Though you don't have to read the first two books, because the author does a good job at providing background information, I recommend to read the first two books first. Jada and Ryder are very likeable characters and do have great chemistry. Like Logan and Hunter, the heroes of the former books, Ryder is very dominant, but also caring and exactly the man Jada needs. I was captivated from start to finish. This was a very satisfying ending to a great mystery series.
A great finish to this series. If you haven't read the previous 2 books I would recommend it. While it may not be necessary in understanding the story (as the author provides enough info in this book to follow), it will definitely add to your enjoyment. Having read the previous books, I thought I knew who the murderer was, & why but the ending to be completely unexpected. While this story wasn't my favourite in the series, I enjoyed tall 3 & would gladly read more from this author.
What can I say but I thoroughlyenjoyed all three of these books in this series by BJ Wane. I couldn't wait to find out who actually killed Lynn in the frist book. I kept going back and forth between the different characters and in the end I picked the wrong person. The characters have so many different personalities and the plotlines are all beautifully written and engaging. I can't wait for another book to come out by this author. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Ryder is a Dom determined to live by pleasure with no attachments, no matter how much one woman gets under his skin. Jada has lusted after him for years and when the opportunity comes to finally get a taste of him and his lifestyle in order to investigate a murder she takes it. Suspects abound and mysteries, questions are answered and a killer revealed. The heat, chemistry and danger are high but so are the rewards for these two!
This story is the last in a series about a murder investigation. It is a little repetitive if you read all the stories as they are each told from the couple who's perspective is the focus of the story. This is the cop brothers perspective so it has a bit more of the investigation in it than the other two stories, which focus on the couples relationship more. Its a reasonably good story...
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. Officer Ryder Lemaster and his friends desperately want to find out who murdered their submissive friend, Lynn. This time he brings fellow officer Jada Michaels to help flush out the killer. Becoming a sub to her secret crush is easier than Jada thought it would be. BDSM, multiple partners, anal play.
This is Book three of the Lemaster family. Each book can be read as a standalone because it is based on each brother or cousin. The mystery is referenced in each book.
As much as Ryder seemed to blow hot and cold with Jada, the temperature was always turned up high for him. Ryder and Jada were combustible. They both were sure that Jada did not have a submissive bone in her body. Surprise! One of many which awaited both of them as they continued with the ongoing mystery of who was responsible for Lynn's death.
Jada is introduced to things in the BDSM world that she never heard of before, let alone was expected to try. All the while trying to convince herself that the hot, steamy encounters she was having with Ryder were all in the line of duty.
Family, friends, love lust, BDSM, and a good mystery which is ultimately solved. Enjoyed This book!

This is the first book that I have read in the series. Although I may have missed some of the back story, the author provided enough background story that I didn't feel lost. I really liked the characters, and the mystery kept me interested to the end. Now that I've read this book, I think I'll go back and read the previous books in the series.
This was my favorite books of the three in the series. These guys are dom s and at times I found it hard to read, NOT because of the punishment/play scenes but because of how high handed they were in their everyday life. Flat out mean and cruel sometimes. But I did love the murder mystery of the book, A+ on that aspect
I waited until finishing this trilogy to comment. I loved how the suspenseful plot was woven into the stories of three alpha dominant men and their equally strong women who know how to handle them. And the men would curse then agree. This must read is one of the best I've read this month. Don't miss out. You'll be sorry that you did
Great final installment to this sexy trilogy. Murder, mystery, sex, discipline, alpha men... what more could you want? I was really looking forward to Ryder's story and Ms. Wane delivered and more! 5 stars!! I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Great combo of murder, intrigue and hot romances with a twist or two. Thoroughly enjoyable escapades; can't wait for more from this talented storyteller.
Intriguing mystery with a surprising ending. The trilogy involved three brothers, with three different love stories. The BDSM is not your usual, but hot, hot! Enjoy!
