Crazy/Intriguing/entertaining
I read this one really fast it got me really engage and turning the pages so fast.
This was a very pleasent surprise I hated Ant in previous books. But now that I got to read about his background I think I kind of like him a little bit... he is not all that bad.... maybe..
Reading about a young Ant it was very interesting and also funny. He was a crazy young man. What ever he wanted he just got it. He was easy talking and very straight forward. Reading about the beginning of his and Terry relationship was interesting.
The push and pull of Ant and Terry was CRAZY it got me mad all the time.. they are toxic but perfect for each other in a twisted way.
I love the relationship that he had with his mom I LOVE IT. It was amazing to see the level of respect that he had for his mother. He talks back to anyone but not to his mother and I love it. Seeing that side of him made me change the way I saw him a little bit.
Ant was a young man with a lot to give that made a lot of mistakes but he worked to get what he wanted even if he hurts a lot of people in the process.
I really like this series because we get to read about the way each one of the guys and how they got to the point they were and to understand more about their personalities. Honestly I started this book thiking that I wouldn't like it because the opinion I had about Ant but I was surprise that my opinion about him is changing a little bit.
Can't wait to read next one.

Book five in The Soulless Ryders series is absolutely wonderful. This book sent me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. One minute I’m mad, then sad and then happy and so on.
Ant had always wanted to be a Soulless Ryder and now he is prospecting for them. There were a lot of times I had to remind myself that Ant was only sixteen and he would have to learn from his mistakes. Ant had some hard choices to make if he wanted to get where he wants to go. Ant was a young man with a lot to give. He made a lot of mistakes, but he worked hard to get what he wanted, even if he hurt someone in the process. Lying to Lou and also getting his girlfriend pregnant. The push and pull relationship of Ant and Terry was so crazy.. they are toxic, but they are perfect for each other, in a twisted way. The twists and turns just kept on coming. Loved seeing this side of Ant and it had me not wanting to put the book down. Can’t wait to read the next one!!
Rayne Matthews is one my favorite authors. If you haven't read any of her books you need to. I definitely suggest you read this series!!

Big Ant has always wanted to be a Soulless Ryder and now he is prospecting for them. But when he samples the forbidden will Lou be able to forgive him.
This read.......my feelings were all over the place. Ant made me mad and then sad and then happy and then........you get the picture. There were many times I had to remind myself he was only a teenager. Teresa was a spitfire also and she did not take any **** from Ant. Good for her. They are going to need to find a way to make time for each other and communicate. It was great to see family rally around both of them. There were some hard times for him in this story.
Kudos to Ms Matthews for writing a story that really makes you feel so many emotions and keeps you invested in the characters. I kept saying just one more chapter to find out what happens next. It was one heck of a roller coaster ride.

Book five in The Soulless Ryders Origins series is absolutely phenomenal. I couldn’t wait to read about a younger Ant. This book sent me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. One minute I’m mad, then sad and then happy it just keeps on going. At times had to remind myself that Ant was only sixteen and you learn from your mistakes. Ant defiantly had some choices to make if he wanted to get where he wants to go. Lying to Lou and getting his girlfriend pregnant. The twists and turns just keep on coming.
Loved seeing this side of Ant and it had me glued to the book. Page after page was filled with louder then life personalities of characters that I have come to love from Rayne Matthews books. Want to read more!!!
I voluntarily reviewed this book after receiving an arc copy for an honest review.

If there was a way for me to give more than five stars, I totally would. I'm never surprised by how blown away I am each time I read a book in this series! Hands down, one of my favorite reads in the last week. Definitely one that I kept finding myself discussing with anyone who would listen.
I love reading what Rayne Matthews puts out, I know that I'm going to be immersed in world that will have me all over the place and absolutely love every minute of it. Ant's story is amazing, I knew that I was going to fall head over heels for it the second I knew it was the next in the series. All the twists, turns and emotions had me sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time.
This is your sign to read this book!!

When I sat down to read Ant’s story, I was only planning to read a few chapters then head to bed. That did not happen, I got so invested in Ant and Teresa’s relationship. Not only is Ant sampling the fruit from the preverbal forbidden tree, Teresa gives as good as she gets.
Ant is a prospect for the Soulless Ryders while Lou is president. I got frustrated with some of his decisions, but he was only sixteen. This book took me through an emotional ringer and I can’t wait to read the rest of his story.

It's time for Anthony's story and his turn to become a Ryder. He is a force to be reckoned with, he's smart, and a big boy now. He wants it all, but he is going to need to learn how he can get it without making everyone mad or losing them.
George is still here, amazing how a guy that makes so many people mad, after SO many years, nobody has put a bullet into him. Lou is still president and a fine one at that!
I can't get enough of Rayne's Soulless Ryders Series and her characters. I hope they continue one way or another for many books to come!

Rayne never disappoints in bringing to life another aspect of the Soulless Ryders. Young Ant was not what I expected yet exactly who he should’ve been. It was amazing to know that he was not always ruthless yet the parts of his personality that make him uniquely Ant shine through from the very beginning. It was great continuing to see his growth and I’m excited to see how he will continue to evolve in the last book!

Oh Ant, Ant, Ant. I met Ant through the Twisted Road series and quickly learned the relationship with him is very much the love/hate type....sometimes really heavy on the hate lol. I loved reading this book and seeing how he went from the little punk in the other Soulless Ryder books the man I grew to love/hate in Baby's story. He really is a tough guy with a heart even though he doesn't want people to know. Another great book in this series and I can't wait for the next one!!

Anthony (Ant) and Teresa (Terry) are still in high school, at ages 16 and 15. Terry ends up pregnant, so Ant is worried about caring for Terry and the baby. For a time, Lou, Terry's dad and current President of the Soulless Ryders, ends Ant's chances of being a Ryder, by stripping him of his cut and telling him he is no longer a prospect. This sets things in motion for rogue rides and a trip with George. More of the past keeps coming out. It is a good book. Do recommend.

I couldn't wait to read this book to learn more about Ant. As soon as I opened the book, I couldn't put the book down that I had it read in a day. I enjoyed learning more of Ant! Now, I am excited for the Authors next book.
Rayne Matthews is a favorite Author of mine. If you haven't read any of her books, you need to start. Once you start reading you don't want to stop. Enjoy!

As Ant becomes a young man he faces challenges and one of them is Teresa. Lou has one rule concerning his daughter, stay away. Omg Ant, edgy, loving, and the road from childhood to adulthood is never easy and Ant being Ant follows his own road. I can't wait for more. I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Heck of a ride. Ant wants to prove himself so badly that he acts on impulse without thinking. He just makes bad decisions and he is not afraid to physical. He and Teresa are teenagers are in love but again impulsive and immature. It was a good read I couldn’t put down because I became invested on how he was going to get back in the club. I now will have to read about the others.

So Good!
I loved Ant's story! I love getting his POV and understanding where he is coming from. We get a bit of everything in this story! I cannot wait to find out more about his journey and how he got to where he is. I'm so ready for the next book!!!
