Ride. Protect. Defend.
Anna Kloss grew up as a smart girl in the Sinister Knights Motorcycle Club, an above-the-law group of misfits that fights to safeguard the women of their town. Straddling both worlds, she's lived the last few years in a college dorm, losing herself in the promise of her future and trying to forget the lost love of her past.
As Vice President of the Sinister Knights, Ryker Beckett has proven his dedication and loyalty by sitting in a county jail cell for three years for saving one woman from a nightmarish assault. The woman. The only one who matters. Prez's young, innocent, and untouched daughter, Anna.
But now, Ryker is back, his sights set on reconnecting with the woman who occupied every minute of his thoughts while he was away. Anna's all grown up, but she’s still the only one he can't have, the only one he craves... Is she ready for this giant, rough-around-the-edges biker to protect and defend her forever?
Warning: Ryker is hard in all the right places—a tall, tattooed drink of water sitting on a powerful engine. He's got his mind on one woman only, and when he sees her again, he's determined to get her bred and on his bike for their sultry ride into the sunset.

This book was a short, sexy and steamy little one that left me satisfied. A good escape for those who need to get away for a few hours…

December 13, 2018Safe. Sweet.
As not a fan of MC books and virgin hs I actually liked this book.
Not a typical MC setting: good men, no illegal business, likable characters.
He met her when she was 12, but nothing sexual (even no secret thoughts) happened before she grew up; he remained celibate till the day he 'had' her. Wow! Respect. Nothing like typical MC books.
I will definitely read following books. His 'buddies' were not saint like him, but I guess all books will be safe.
Hopefully at least one non-virginal h *pleazzzzz*

So this author’s books are hit or miss for me but this one was a hit. It was really good for a novella although I wish it had been longer and more developed. We know that Ryker got sent away for protecting Anna somehow but none of the actual details.
I liked Anna. She was sweet but also protective and loyal. I adored Ryker. There was only one girl for him and Anna was it. I’m definitely looking forward to King’s story. I’m hoping his h is Piper. So although this could have been longer and fleshed out better, it was still worth the read, for sure.

Safe, sweet and short MC book😃👍🏻

Short, steamy and safe ....
I do enjoy a good MC read, and finding a safe one is difficult. This story was short but with believable drama (that didn't involve other women/men at all).
3.5 stars
-no cheating
- no ow/om drama - while "sweetbutts" were invited to his welcome home party, he wanted nothing to do with them
- no violence of a sexual nature
-good secondary characters- thankful that we didn't have to see them being skanks since Saint and King are our future heroes. Even the Prez, Anna's dad, has been celibate since his wife died. A good bunch of guys. We know that Saint was seen with his arm around a woman.
-9 month epilogue which was really a let down for me and brought my rating down

It's been thirty-six months since Anna saw Ryker, or spoke to him. Granted, he's been in jail that whole time for defending her, but did he have to cut off all contact? The guilt hurts, but feeling as of she lost him is destroying her day by day. He gets out today, and a party is being planned for his return, not that Anna is plans on going. Her night involves sulking. Besides, it's members only, and Anna and her best friend, Piper, don't qualify.
Ryker is bored. Yes, he's out of jail, but instead of being with his woman, the only one for him, a fellow member decided to invite the wrong type of women to the party. Plus, the club just isn't the same anymore. Of course, Anna isn't there with him, so that could be the reason. But when she shows, his need to see her, short-circuits his brain and the right words don't come out. However, when they do...
Ryker knows he should've written her, well, sent, because he did write them, but he felt she'd be better without him, and any contact with her would make being away from her even harder.
Thankfully, Ryker and Anna are together again, just as they've always wanted, but life isn't always kind, and sometimes it's downright cruel, and Ryker and Anna are forced apart once again, and maybe for the last time.
Will Ryker and Anna ever get the future they hope for? Will Anna's dad, the MC President, finally give his blessing? Is a HEA possible?
One-click now and follow along as two people, recognizing one another as soul mates the moment they met, must fight for their love.

"Cada día sin Ryker en mi vida se sentía como una bala que fracturaba mi alma".
Ryker de Aria Cole serie Sinister Knights MC libro 1
Mí humilde opinión:
Sinister Knights no era el típico club de motociclistas. Ellos son chicos malos pero van con la ley. Cuando la policía no interviene, allí están para ayudar a los ciudadanos.
Su eslogan es: Montar. Proteger. Defender.
Anna Kloss creció en el Club de Motociclistas. Su padre es el MC prez y aún la ve como su pequeña hija.
Pero ya es una mujer. Su corazón pertenece a Ryker. El segundo al mando de los Sinister Knights.
Ryker acaba de salir por hacer justicia por mano propia. Y todo lo que quiere es volver a ver a Anna.
El amor de su vida.
Todo el tiempo en prisión ella era en todo lo que podía pensar.
Ahora que por fin Ryker y Anna tienen una oportunidad de estar juntos, algo vuelve a interponerse en sus caminos.
Este fue un librito corto y muy dulce.
Un romance de moteros que creí iba a ser más oscuro pero no lo fue.
Me resultó suave y sexy, totalmente me gustó.
Me sorprendió para bien que fuera un club que respetara la ley y que ayudara a la ciudad. Me gustó eso.
Ryker con su lado alfa, exigente y boca sucia que sentí cuánto amaba a Anna.
Me gustó este hombre, hacia lo que fuera por Anna, lo era todo para él y lo dejó claro durante todo el libro.
Anna estuvo más o menos, sus dudas por ahí me sacaban de quicio.
Me pareció que si ya estaba en universidad y a punto de conseguir su título, todavía dependiera del padre para todo. Hasta tenía que conseguir su aprobación para salir con alguien.
Después de todo lo que pasó Ryker, que mató por ella, no debería haberle caído mal que estuviera con su hija.
Lo que me hubiera gustado saber es sobre cómo se conocieron, cómo se enamoraron. Más detalles de cómo terminó él en prisión. Cómo fue que sucedió eso. Todo esto le hubiera dado más para dar a la historia.
Los personajes me encantaron, quise saber más y por eso me resultó un poco apresurado.
Estuvo bien pero faltó un poquitín más. No hay mucho pasando pero la historia de amor me gustó.
Final feliz asegurado con Ryker!

Forbidden love and bikers!!!
Anna has been in love/crushing on Ryker for alongg time since he been locked up now that he's officially home she is going to get her man.. but Ryker before he can even settle down with his girl he has few things to deal with. 1. Her father who happens to be The Prez and 2. Trying to see himself as worthy for her. And its a bumpy road when he always has to leave her.
He has a mission to do for the prez and its driving Anna insane since he just left her no goodbye or anything and her pops is being stubborn.... is she going to forgive Ryker for leaving her again? Or is Ryker going to finally go against The Prez and take whats his?
I wanna see King and Piper!!! Idk about Saint.. he seems like a manwhore.

Felt like missing sth in the plot. One second H was eyeing h, the next second he was arguing with h's father; one second H said h was his, then he just disappeared for 17 days; not to mention how disrespectful he was to h when he had sex with her without considering if there's someone would see them.

3 short and sweet stars
This was a really sweet novella. Ryker has just gotten out of jail after serving three years and is ready to make Anna, the President's daughter finally his. Anna has been in love with Ryker forever and Ryker only wants Anna. The only thing standing in the couple's way is Anna's dad, which is resolved without much drama. I wished that we had gotten the couple's backstory; what happened the night Ryker was arrested and exactly what was their relationship before his arrest.

I am a huge fan of MC books. OH. MY. HEAVENS....... That was quick and dirty!!! Y,all, I just made Ryker my # 1 book boyfriend of 2018. I can't wait to read more about the Sinister Knights!
January 21, 2018
Quite safe and H was celibate from the time he met the h.
January 21, 2018
Cute, rote, harmless and 'safe', but ultimately a waste of my time. We aren't told until 72% in exactly what Ryker did to go to jail for 3yrs. Why couldn't Ryker write to Anna for the entire duration of his sentence..for her safety he says; it was life and death...why? How does one kill someone and spend 3yrs in a county jail? Were there no cells available at the federal prisons?
The entire book, thankfully very short, is Ryker telling Anna how much he misses/missed her, after he takes off with no explanation, telling her how much he wants to taste and be inside her, and her capitulating, and trying to win the approval of the Prez (her dad). The MC is a distant background prop, and really not much of anything happens outside of what I just said.
1.5 raised to 2 because Anna wasn't annoying. She wasn't much of anything to be honest, but not being annoying gives her a leg up.

This is a fast , sexy-sweet read. I really enjoyed reading this new MC series by Aria Cole. Ryker and Anna have had feelings for each other for quite some time. He was unable to act on it due to circumstances beyond his control….3 years beyond his control. He is back and is ready to claim his mate. Anna is a sassy and innocent young woman who knew what she wanted and that was Ryker , who is VP of the Sinister Knights in her dad’s MC . She has always loved Ryker and now that he is back, where will things go between them? Ryker himself has always loved his princess and wants to claim his princess. Only thing is his Prez, Anna’s father, is determined to prevent this. Will he and Anna get their HEA?
This was a fast paced, sexy, sassy, insta-love, forbidden read. I loved the supporting characters and I look forward to King and Saint’s books in the series.
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****

This is the first book in the Sinister Knights MC series by Aria Cole. This is her first attempt at an MC book and it wasn't bad but it was definitely tame compared to most biker stories. I guess I prefer my bikers a little more dirty - with their women and with their club. Ryker Beckett is the Vice President of the Sinister Knights MC and he's just been released after serving three years in county jail. He saved a young woman from being assaulted, the woman was the daughter of the club's President. Anna loved Ryker and she was devastated when he went to jail but rather than having her pining at home waiting for him her dad sent her away to college. She's six months away from earning her degree in Sociology and she's home for the summer. The club is having a welcome home party for Ryker and Anna's best friend, Piper is excited to go but Anna doesn't want to. Anna is bitter towards Ryker because she wrote to him in jail all the time and he never wrote back. Ryker knows Anna deserves better than him and he thought she would move on while he was away.

Aria Cole is a drop everything author for me, I really enjoy her book and this book is no different.
Anna has been in love with Ryker before she understood what love is and has spent the past three years waiting for him to return to her. She is hurt that he cut her off completely after going to prison for defending her after she was attacked, but he is back and thanks to Anna’s friend Piper she is about to show him all that he has been missing.
Ryker loved Anna before he knew he should, but as the VP of Sinister Knights he knows that Anna deserves better and her father will never approve. He is out of jail and instead of being with the woman he loves he is stuck at his welcome home party with all the wrong type of women. Then Anna shows and again she tips his world upside down but how can they be together her father will never agree. Ryker and Anna are separated again after her father asks him to complete a mission that he only trusts him with. He hates leaving her but one thing that Ryker knows is that they belong together and this time he can’t just walk away from her.
Can Ryker convince the president of the Sinister Knights that he belongs with his daughter and can they have the HEA that they deserve. If you like short, sweet and incredibly hot stories then I could not recommend this book and author more. Fab quick story. Can't wait for more of the Sinister Knights.

I love MC romances for the hot Alpha bikers with no filter who claim their women especially when they love them and protect them.
Ryker is a quick read but hits all the right spots.
Ryker and Anna have been apart 3 years while Ryker served time in prison for his club. Now reunited again their love is still strong and even though Ryker is back Anna's father who is the club president is still trying to keep them apart.
No-one is good enough for the presidents daughter but Ryker is determined to claim his woman.
Good hot mc read, I enjoyed it!

Oooohhhh don't you just loouuurrvvveeee the stories where they are effing meant to be and he loves her and she loves him but there's no confessions and lots of wait..
I loved this baby. The hero knew he needed her and the heroine just waiting for the magic to happen.
I loved how this concentrated more on these two and less on other MC life stuff because it's Aria Cole and hey I want my sweet tooth achingly amazing romance and chemistry.

I adore Aria Cole as a writer and was looking forward to reading this new series as I enjoy a good MC book. Ryker is a quick read with a bit of drama, angst, emotion and hotness combined. it is well written with good chemistry between the main characters Ryker and Anna. I cannot wait to read King and Saint’s stories.

She knows the club is having a welcome home party. Her father, is the prez, told her she isn't to come to the club party but, she's going anyway. She's coming for him...

What a great twist for a modern day Romeo and Juliet with an MC twist. I just loved how Ryker would stand up to Anna's dad and take whatever he had to just to be with her and make things work. This was a good short read that gave you the feels.
