Riley’s Pride, Book 1There’s a new Alpha in town. He’s tried for too long to make a life in a place with more than its share of Alphas. His Panther has decided enough is enough. His Mate has renounced him as a result of a grave misunderstanding, and he’s struck out on his own, forging a new future and a new Pride that will welcome all who have struggled to find their place. He will be their Alpha … their Alpha — they will live by his rules. Together they will make a new life in the hills and mountains of Missouri. They’ll build a life to be proud of, a life that will welcome all their Mates, if they are lucky enough to find them. A life his own estranged Mate will hopefully be drawn to. It will be dangerous because the shifters that have struggled to find a place are usually the most unpredictable, those that never fit anywhere else. But that’s what makes life interesting isn’t it — danger, unpredictability and love?

What can I say about this book? First, it is a must read. Second, I cannot wait to read more about the pride and hook-ups. This book left me wondering who will get a book, who will love who, how will they survive the next threat and what it might be! Even with that I feel like I need to read this love story again. Realistic characters make the book enjoyable to read.
I loved Riley’s story so much that it is hard for me to put it into words for this review. Riley has been my second favorite since we were introduced to him in Avaleigh’s Boys series. There was just something about that strong alpha with that little girl that grabbed a hold of me. Of course it helped that he reminded me of my first love Maverick. Riley and Maia’s story hits home and is realistic. I can remember being young and in love having all of the insecurities and being scared of the unknown possibilities of love. Sandra R. Neeley nails it. I wanted to leave and find Riley’s Pride and become a part of it. I can’t wait to see how Riley rules his Pride in the next story of the series. I have no doubt that my anticipation will be met, and with more just as Riley’s Pride did. If you have not picked up a story by Sandra R. Neeley you are missing out, and I would advise for you to pick one up asap. I can promise you will not be disappointed.
A great start to a new series!
Riley’s story is a complex tapestry woven from past and present experience, providing the inspiration for his new Pride. The people he gathers around him are wonderful additions to his community, whether human, full shifters, or not. Each has been at odds with the situation they’ve been in and soon find themselves entwined in Riley’s group, loving the camaraderie.
I am enjoying all the characters in Riley’s Pride, looking forward to seeing where the future takes them. Seeing Avaleigh and the rest is the icing on the cake!
This is Riley and Maia’s story and it is OUTSTANDING !!! Maia has decided to renounce her so called mate since he does not seem to want to spend any time with her then while on the phone over hears something that destroys her . Riley is doing everything he can to keep his promise to himself and to Maverick but he has never faced anything so hard and decides that he needs to prove himself to be sure that he can give his mate everything she will ever need . Now I could say a whole lot more about this one but please just grab this story and ENJOY !! This is well written and strongly recommended to all ! I so can not wait for the next one in this series to come out ! I will be stalking this author !
Riley is an alpha panther shifter. Riley was hanging out with Kaid and the guys, but Riley was constantly controlling his panther. Riley’s panther wanted to tear out of his skin and fit for dominance all the time when he was with Kaid and the guys. Riley had to leave. Riley left to make a better life for himself, his daughter and the to young mate that renounced him. Riley bought land from a friend, got in his truck with his little girl and hoped to build a life, a pride, a family that he could be proud of and that his mate would come back for.
I have read all of Sandra Neeley’s books and she is one of my favorite authors, yes I have several, don’t judge. This book is just a good as the others.
The Riley character was first introduced in the Avaleigh’s Boys series. In that series, we don’t a lot about him, just enough to know that we want more. Then we learn that Maia is his mate, well then he has to stuck around! But then he leaves, and without Maia. Ms. Neeley set us up really well to be looking for this book.
This author is able to let me feel the story through her writing. I laugh with characters, get angry with them, cry with them, sometimes even get angry AT them, I think that takes talent and is why I like this book so much. Each of these characters have something that draws me in and has me hoping that their story is next. Not every author can do that. This is a keeper. RECOMMENDED
The first book in the spinoff series of Avaleigh’s Boys.
It was wonderful to see the start of a new Pride based on trust, respect and love. It is feel of interesting characters so I can’t wait to read more.
And what I love about Sandra Neeley books is the warm feel good factor. They always cheer me up and put a smile on my face.
I love when we get a new series that started with old favorites. Avaleigh’s Boys will always be a favorite of mine but it’s so nice to see more, to get a peek into their lives while watching a whole new world being built.
I was ready for this story for so long, the drama was building as the Boys ended their stories, I really wanted to see what happened to these two! Is Riley the Alpha he thinks he is? Is Maia mature enough to see maybe she was wrong? Will these two strong willed, stubborn people be able to have a future or does the past have too strong of an influence on them???
I loved reading it, finding out for myself and falling in love with a whole new set of amazing characters that are now stuck in my head………so as usual, gonna need many more stories in the future to keep this bookwhore happy!! LOL
LOVED Riley! He can be my book boyfriend any day. 😉
