Razer #1.5
Ryder
Six Hours.
Twenty one thousand, six hundred seconds.
One night.
A cold bed. My lover gone. Silence again.
Hidden beneath black and white swirls, hides my heart. Only one woman has ever coloured those pictures. I’m the man her mother warned her about, yet she’s my paragon of virtue.
My devil-may-care attitude stalls, life becomes set with fierce determination to do the right thing.
There’s no fight or flight, I’m all in.
I can’t breathe without her, can’t sleep without her warmth, can’t think without her by my side.
Shaky resolve won’t take no for an answer. I push until there’s no wall between us. The mistakes of my past will not define me. I will never apologise for them. I will cut them down and bring my woman home.
The last call has been made and now all I can do is wait…
Full of surprises and revelations, heartache and joy, Ryder is the conclusion you’ve all been waiting for. *Please note - 18+ - contains adult content. Contains possible spoiler for Calling Time, Book #1 in The Razer Series. It is better to read these books in order, although you can read Taylor & Ryder without Calling Time, they are interconnected standalones.

About the author
K.A. Sands
23 books73 followersKlaire is a multi genre author who has a passion for reading and more often than not, can be found with her nose stuck in a book. She loves angsty, dark reads but is not averse to the fun, light hearted side either. Typically, a romance reader, of most genres/sub genres, her passion for literature and written words goes back to her childhood when she always dreamed of writing and telling the world her stories.
Not quite a stay at home mum, Klaire has a busy life which she shares with her husband of twenty-five years and her little monkey boy. Her adult children have flown the coop already, but still manage to come home for ‘mama’s lasagne.’ EOL Nurse and business owner are her daytime realities.
Avid eater of mayonnaise and chips, anti-get fitter, lover of cheesy music and a fierce advocate of things close to her heart. She has a bucket list as long as her arm, which includes sky diving and visiting Cambodia. And wants to travel the world.
Great believer in second chances, insta-love (because her love is a product of that), fairy tales and monsters… Klaire just wants to write all the words for you.

Loving the Razer series was happy to read Ryder's story after reading about Taylor. You go through the struggles with these two characters and the love they have for each other. Cannot wait for the next chapter in the series.

At last, we finally get to read Ryder’s story. I advise you read the previous books first. This novella is written in alternating points of view and this is the book where you get to know more about Ryder and his past. I felt at first that Taylor and Ryder’s story should have been written in one whole book instead of two separate novellas but I guess I was wrong.
After the horrific events from the previous book which involved Taylor’s sister, Laura and her partner Lucca, Ryder’s best friend, Taylor suddenly upped and left Ryder high and dry; with Ryder none the wiser.
Considering what Taylor went through and how many times she’s pulled up her big girl knickers that it has morphed into a thong, I can understand why she needed time away from Ryder. And now added to the chaos is Alexa, Ryder’s ex-girlfriend, his past relationship catching up with him. With Lucca’s missing ex-wife, Stella, the evil puppet master still pulling the strings, will this pair ever catch a break?
This very well written romantic suspense by this new author skilfully interweaves each event and characters into the timeline that everything falls perfectly in sync its gripping storyline will keep you on edge. What a fantastic job well done, I am totally impressed! And even though this is a novella it gives you just the right amount of Ryder’s past and present and yet it makes you want for more, enough to whet your appetite for the next book. I cannot wait for when the evil monster ex-wife comes out with her own brand of crazy. Bring it! I highly recommend this book.

I am absolutely loving this series. So far, this is the third addition to it, although this is just a novella it certainly packs a punch or two! I love Ryder, he is one of my favourite characters and my heart aches for him a lot in this book, it even brought a tear to my eye.
With no warning, his life and world are turned up side down. This is an emotional and frustrating journey for Ryder. He just can't understand what on earth has happened. He doesn't take it lying down that's for sure and is prepared to fight for what's his. HELL I'm prepared to fight for what's his! There was a few times I wanted to jump in there and get violent. I got very protective over the characters I've grown to love!
For a new author, KA Sands has very quickly made it to my top favourites. I love the way she writes. She has you captivated from the first page and leaves you wanting more when you get to the last page. I feel I could read about these characters for a long time to come!
If you haven't read any of this author's books yet then you really must! I certainly can not wait for the next book!!

Ryder is my guy. I’ll always want more and it was nice to catch up with him and Taylor. It’s a short novella but it packs a punch with emotion and a few twists and turns thrown in. Looking forward to the next one. Stella I’m coming for ya ;)

Ryder might be considered your average tattooed bad guy, but he’s so much more than that. But after meeting Taylor again after a year of knowing one another, his normally calm exterior changes on an instant as his life revolves around her.
Excerpt:
It had been over a year since Taylor Hamilton walked back into my life, a year since my heart found its rhythm again. A year since my breaths came easier.
Ryder’s story was a love story undoubtedly, but far from smooth. As the pair encounter enough to break some, I constantly questioned if this would be the the last thing to keep this adorable pair together.
Excerpt:
She hung my moon, was the stars that lit the night sky. If I stood still for more than a second I’d remember my life was too dark without her And how much that hurt. So, I didn’t.
A fast paced story, but evened out by the knowledge of the story already. It kept me hooked and desperate for more. I loved the way the author dropped Subtle little remarks that leave blaring question marks in our minds and I can’t wait to get answers to some of those. An absolute must-read series!

Good!
Just when you think this group of characters can't take anymore, they're thrown in their backsides...physically. One thing I've loved is having a continuing story from book 0.5 to now, but each book from a different P.O.V. It certainly makes you feel a apart of the family, I my I wouldn't want to be them. Lol! Trouble follows them all.
I found it hard not to want to throttle Taylor in this book, but it all worked out in the end.
Definitely give this book a go.

I loved this novella. Calling Time (which is book one in the Razer series) ended at a point where I wanted to know more about what was happening and I definitely got the answers I wanted in this book. I loved the characters, the angst was there once again - in fact it was emotional on every level. A fab read and I can't wait for the next book to be released.
