Ryker

Sleepless Spades MC #2

by Nikki Riker

Rules can change. Will Ryker, bad boy biker, go against the rules that he lives by? Or will all that’s precious go up in smoke?

Cleo has been shouldering heavy burdens – from the guilt and loss ex-lover, Damian, to supporting her baby left behind without a father. After getting a bartending job, the promise of a new change spills as it doesn’t take long for hard questions to come knocking. She always trusts her instincts, especially when she is living for two.

Ryker spies an opportunity as he steps in to defend Cleo from Trent, who holds her accountable for Damian’s murder. The two men Cleo had to depend on were out of the picture, but Ryker must face the challenge of changing up his rough-and-ragged lifestyle and step up to the plate when Cleo is at her most vulnerable.

Cleo is being pulled in so many directions; her heart is tearing at the seams. Ryker is somehow always in her sight, his every touch hot enough to brand her skin, her senses swimming with desire for him. However, both Cleo and Ryker are keeping their own secrets from each other. Trouble and danger brew as it threatens to snap this thin line of desire between them.

This is a steamy motorcycle club romance with a HEA and can be read alone.

He has loved her and now he sees a chance to have her finally

Ryker is the second book in the Sleepless Spades MC series and I liked this fast-paced and interesting story. It is about Ryker and Cloe but so much more. He has been in love with Chloe for a long time but she was with another MC member, Damian, and she is pregnant by him. But he is killed, good riddance I say as he was abusive to her. So his death opens the way for Ryker but Cloe is in danger now as she is being blamed for Damian's death his father, Trent. Ryker is going to have to step in to protect Cloe and her son. Cloe is going to have to trust Ryker which she finds hard but at the same time she is drawn to him as she recognizes that underneath his rough and tumble exterior he is willing to step up for her. Someone is going to have to deal with Trent before he gets his improperly placed revenge on Cloe.

This story has a lot of action, drama, suspense but also romance and emotion. Underneath everything Ryker really cares for Cloe and wants her, even though she has Damian's child. He wants them both and is willing to make it happen along with getting her to believe in him.

I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

This is book two in the Sleepless Shades MC series. I have read book one, Cruz and could not wait to read further into this series. Meet Ryker and Cleo in their great story, can they find their HEA? Cleo is guilty and grieving as she has lost her lover and the father of her baby, Damian. She is gets herself a bar tending job in the hopes of making a life for her and her baby as that is all that matters in the world to Cleo. Ryker steps in to 'rescue' Cleo one night and finds himself not being able to walk away. Does fate step in to help smooth out the rough edges that they characters have in order for them to give one another a chance? This book follows the first in that it is packed full in its 140 pages , will everything to make it a great read. I cannot wait to read more of this series. Enjoy!

When you are in the moment, it's hard to see what is right before your eyes. When you have the time to step back your world can open up.

Cleo was involved with a dangerous member of the Sleepless Spades MC. When he was killed, his father and the leader was determined to find out who was responsible and he blamed Cleo.

Ryker has been in love with Cleo since the first time he met her, but she never saw him that way. After everything that happened all he wanted to do was protect her even if it ment running across club lines.

The story continues the power struggle within the club between the leaders and their believes. You will keeps turning the pages as you go on the journey of Cleo and Ryker to end the conflict but may only start another.

Ryker is the second well-written book in a new Sleepless Spades MC series by Nikki Riker. This is an action packed suspense filled romance story. This book is an emotional ride to healing and love. He has been in love with her for years and he will give anything to make her his. She will try to keep her distance from him because she thinks he's in love with someone else. These characters are well-crafted with all the flaws as the rest of us and will grow throughout the book. A good read, and I have to go back and read book 1 and her other series as this the first book I have read of this Author.

Ryker by Nikki Riker. A dark MC romance full of action and suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat while the author’s storytelling and attention to detail kept me vested in characters and outcome of story. It’s raw, it’s gritty, it’s full of drama, strong characters, and intense steamy scenes. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a good addition to the "Sleepless Spades MC" series. It's a fairly quick read that is gets going pretty quick and doesn't let up. Cleo and Ryker are great together but definitely don't succumb easy. I enjoyed this fairly fast paced story with action, suspense, danger and a wide range of emotions. I really enjoyed every bit of it.

I loved the storyline of this book. But the h , was absolutely annoying.
The only reason I'm giving this book 1.5 stars is because of the H.
I just didn't think that the h, appreciated the H enough to have him in her life.
