Sweet Lou ❤
Sweet/loving/trusting
Lou with him I feel like he was so good for that world. He was so sweet and always caring. You can see that he was Imogen and Walt son. He has that same caring and loving they had. I love his relationship with Joyce it was funny and you can see they care for each other.
Even when he didn't make the right desicions he did it thinking about it good and not in a bad way. He wasn't the perfect husband or father but he try to be there for his kids. He loved Teresa so much. It was really different to see a guy crying and being vulnerable. I loved they way he went to the woman to get advice. It was so sweet.
Lou was all about making human conection and feelings his relationship with Olivia was very toxic but he always look at the good and that was having a family for his childrens. Olivia got me mad a lot of the time but at the same time I'm intrigued.
Lou just needed love, affection and understanding. And all of it he got it from his parents and Eva. And he lost all of it. So he is craving the same feelings to be a whole again. ❤
I love to see strong women, Sophia is a strong character and it made me happy that Teresa have her as a role model. That gave me the inside of how Sophia influnce other character that come in the other books.
Lou has to have a heart of Gold just to be able to tolerate Olivia that crazy b!tch.
Can't wait to read all of the books when they get out and then read them in order.

Lou becomes the Soulless Ryders President and he's tries to balance the MC along with being a good father to his kids. As you read the story about Lou, you will see how much love he has for his kids. He cherishes all of his children, especially little Teresa. His parents, Walt and Imogen, raised a kind hearted man. Lou provides the love to his kids that his parents gave him. He has a love/hate relationship with his wife Olivia. There is a daughter, little Teresa, that Lou had with another woman, whom Olivia doesn’t know about in the beginning.
This book is such a wonderful addition to Soulless Ryders Origins series. You will see better into Lou’s life, how he is loved by his friends, the brothers of the MC and his children. You will also see the hatred his wife has for him. He wants so much to be a great leader and to live up to being as good as his father was.
There are a lot of twists and turns in this book. There are surprises you don’t see coming. Rayne Matthews does a wonderful job keeping you engrossed in this book and always wanting more. This is a must read and but I recommend you read the others in the series as well first, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!!! Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

I knew this was going to be an amazing read as soon as I found out this was going to be Lou’s story! Taking over as president, needing to fill those shoes was going to be difficult. Guy had a lot against him, more than he really had going for him and it definitely captivated me from the start.
Really felt like I was part of the book itself, all the characters really come to life and literally jump out of the page at you. Had me all up in my feels several times and I think that was the best part, being able to connect with a character and feel who they are. Rayne Matthews does an absolute amazing job at making that happen. Sad to see the series come to an end but very excited to see what is in store for the future.
This is a series that is a MUST read, this is one you should not pass up. Super glad that I was able to read such fine masterpieces and enjoy them along with many others.

Lou is the National President. He has dealt with loss, a wife that is a piece of work, and a lot of club BS. This books has some real highs and some definite low lows. We find out a few 'secrets' that change Lou in ways nobody was expecting. It's time for George to be dealt with, but will it happen, can Lou do it?
Rayne has taken us through the beginning of the Soulless Ryders to it almost being time for the next generation to take over. She shows us the good and the bad of what MC's can be.
I recommend you read all 4 of the Origins if you haven't. Read them in order tho!! Start with Crazy Bill all the way to Lou.
I received an advance review copy of this book, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I love MC books
I can never get enough of MC books. They're a form of kryptonite for me. I swear. 🥵🥵 It was really nice to have some answers to previous questions, but now I have more. 🧐🧐 I can't wait to read about Anthony in the next book!! Lou made a lot of questionable choices. I really enjoyed getting to read his story because it's not every day you get to read the pov of a character who can do something like that and sleep at night while also being extremely sensitive and quick to cry. He really was a good president, even if I didn't agree with his new business idea. I both, ironically enough, really liked Lou and also despised him at the same time. Good job with this one, Rayne Matthews!!
Can not wait for more!!!! 💪💯💪💯

Lou is left to pick up the pieces as the Soulless Ryders' president after George. He has a tough job ahead of him. Lou reminded me so much of his dad Walt. In this book you can see how much he loves his family, his kids and his friends. Even though there is a rift between him and George he still check in on him. There were so many twists and turns in this book. Some surprises I did not see coming. My emotions were all over the place.
My most favorite thing about this series is how Ms. Matthews shows the true face of the Soulless Ryders but focuses on each member in such an individual light it makes you feel every emotion they are going through.

The end of an era! The original Soulless Ryders have come to an end and what a fitting end it is. Lou has always been my favorite and watching him shine as the National Pres was my favorite part of this series so far. More than that though was getting to finish Bill’s story. While I’m sad with how his life turned out, I appreciate that Rayne didn’t just let him fall away throughout the series. There was more death and destruction in this book and Lou made some questionable choices with the business line he went in to but the book is so well written it doesn’t even matter!!! Can’t wait for Anthony’s reign!!!

Rayne Matthews does it again another well written 5 stars addition to this series. Soulless Ryders Origins series just keeps getting better and better. Lou is Prez now and he has to pick up the pieces after George left a mess. He is trying to live up to his late father’s reign. Lou is a good man and always trying to make the best out of the circumstances he ends up in.
There is a lot of twists and turns in this book. Surprises you don’t see coming. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. Cant wait to read the next book in this series.

Well what to say about Lou's story. It had some surprises that I wasn't expecting at all, but what I loved the most about the Soulless Ryders origin books is how the author concentrates on that perticular character. You get to know that character in a better light and more personally that is what I love reading about the most from these stories. It was a great read from start to finish. Cannot wait for the next book

When Lou becomes pres he has a hard task ahead of him, balancing club life with his family and doing what's right for all isn't an easy choice or one he takes lightly, but he leads the MC through it all. His good boy nature, and hard lifestyle generate a wild ride of emotions, twists, suspense and more a great addition to the series

Lou's book is such a great addition to this series. To see further into his life, how he is loved by his friends, brothers of the MC, and children. The hatred this wife has for him. He cherishes all of this children, but little Teresa the most. He wants so much to be a great leader and even though there are tragedy and bumps along the way he manages to hold his own. This is a must read and please read the others in the series, you will not be disappointed!

Before I start, I haven't changed my thoughts on George, I mention this because of how he was best friends with Lou. Lou is a man who lives two lives, he loves his family and he loves his club but I wish he would sort his wife out, omg that woman. As with all the Soulless Ryders the stories are addictive and knowing the characters only makes the connection that much stronger. Fabulous read for me. I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Loved Loved Lou’s story. He’s such a sweet and gentle soul. While he’s by no means perfect, he has his flows but this book brought to life his reasoning behind them. I loved how Sofia was showcased too. The way Lou respected the women shows his upbringing. Even though I thought I knew how the story would go, still had plenty of surprise twist. Can’t wait to read read about Ant’s story.

This series is dark and gritty and not for the faint of heart but it is SO good! I think Lou is my favorite character in this series. He has his flaws but overall he's a good man trying to make the best of the situations he finds himself in. I really enjoyed getting to read Lou's story and can't wait for the next book!
March 13, 2022
Rayne has done it again. It is Lou's time to shine. Lou is now the president and he is a much better man than George was. His family means everything to him. It is fun to watch the characters you love develop from the start. This series has everything you could want from a story. Great job again Rayne.
February 20, 2022
Read it quick. Liked it. Can’t wait for the next one. However my ass needs to go back and read the ones before it because somehow I missed this wasn’t a standalone 😂
By the time I investigated I was to invested to see what happens to stop.

Rayne is a pure genius. Each book just continues getting better and better. We pick up with Lou's regn as president. We get some answers that has plagued us as well as new questions. I didn't want this book to end.

Lou is the Soulless Riders President and he's trying to balance the club along with being a good father to his kids. He has a love hate relationship with his wife Olivia. Secrets are revealed in this book. Would recommend.

February 25, 2022
I love Lou's story! I love that we really get to know him and reasons behind some of his decisions. This book offers everything. Action, steam, mystery and emotions!
March 12, 2022
As you read about Lou you will notice the love he has for his kids. Walt and Imogen raised a kind hearted man and he does provide the love to his kids that his parents gave to him. He provides strong leadership but you will see hurt, tears, and revenge in this book. The Author does it everytime, her books reel you in and keeps you wanting more. Another great book Rayne Matthews!
