Great intro to the Lords of the Plains MC. Ryder was a tough guy on a mission to see his idea for an MC come to fruition and Esme seemed to be the catalyst. He unexpectedly meets Esme and it was a wild, sexy ride from then on. Hell, the steamy scenes with Ryder and Esme nearly caused my Kindle to burst into flames!
Dang…what a great book! I was sucked in on page pages kept turning. Christopher writes so well, that he took me into the world of the MCs. I can’t wait to read the next book!
Christopher Harlan has given his readers another addictive and thought provoking story that’s packed with suspense, laughter, passion, heartbreak, love, and so much more. Ryder’s Edge is the first book of this author’s exciting new series and we get to see the creation of the Lords of the Plains MC as Ryder fulfills his father’s dream. The pace of the plot combined with the twists and turns will keep you hooked and leave excited for the next installment of this series. I don’t read many MC, and never read an entire series, but this is one series I’ll definitely be keeping up to date with.
*I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book
Christopher has done it once again. Ryder is not your traditional biker. The man loves to read and loves history. He uses what he learns from his family past and history to help him with his daily life. He meets Esme this sexy woman sitting in a bar all alone.
At times I liked Esme but then at times I found myself screaming at her. Thank God towards the end she smartens up. Atleast when Ryder needs her she is there. Their love blossomed quickly but sometimes that does happen. I did love that she had rules pertaining who she slept with.
This book was very well written and original. I’m lucky to be part of Christopher arc team to get this read.
YES!!!! This is exactly how a new MC series should begin! We get an incredible glimpse into the birth of a new power player in the MC world with The Lords of the Plains. Ryder, aka Nugget, is fierce, dominant, compassionate, loyal, and sexy as hell, which is everything an MC president should be. I loved this story! I truly can’t wait to see what happens with the rest of the guys!
Wow what a ride. This is book 1 of the new series Lords of the Plains and Christopher didn’t disappoint. This is Ryders story. You get to see how he built his club from the ground up. You get to see how his and Esmes relationship grow. This is a roller coaster of emotions and I cant wait for what’s next
I have read this book in one time. A real page turner and i love the reverence you put in about movie. Roadhouse is one of my favorite movies.
I really like the way Ryder falls for Esme. So romantic but also dangerous. Yet another book i love from jou Christopher.
No spoilers of any kind included.
I really enjoyed reading Ryder’s Edge!
So basically in so many words Christopher Harlan has created yet another amazing masterpiece to add to his already awesome list of books that he has written!
So it’s going to be most definitely I do recommend this book because I loved it and I think you will too!
All I can say is WOW!
Christopher usually writes his stories in 3rd person. But surprisingly, he didn’t do that this time…. it is alternating first person, sometimes Ryder, other times Esme. And his style, and manner of telling the story is way better than it has been in the past – great to see this kind of evolution in a writer.
I don’t necessarily seek out MC romances either, but I really enjoyed this one. Raw, violent, and seemingly realistic is how I would categorize this book. Congrats on a great book!!
One of the most amazing books I have read in a long time. The abuse and caused by cartel destroys families north and south of the border. Yet when people rally together to fight against evil amazing things can happen; Esme and Ryder find each other by chance what follows them is a storm from hell.
It takes getting in bed with the devil himself as well as uniting a tribe to overcome the storm they have to fight. Read just how they do it and so much more this book does not disappoint.
Christopher Harlan wrote a great MC story with Ryder’s Edge. Ryder is out celebrating with his friends & meets Esme. Talk about chemistry between the two of them. It was only supposed to be one night. Esme has been forced into a life that she doesn’t want. When she vanishes, Ryder sets out to find her. There is something about her that has him hooked. I loved the way the story flowed. The characters were great together. I can’t wait to see what happens with this series.
A very well written MC romance.
Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. It has all the right amounts of intrigue, romance, and steam. And it’s definitely on the lighter side of violence for an MC book; which is good as far as I’m concerned as I do not enjoy the ones that portray the bikers and men who do nothing but kill, abuse women and take what they want.
Looking forward to more Lords of the Plains.
Wow. This is unlike any MC books I have read. I am usually not a fan but this one was different. It showed the beginning of an MC club with the founding person. I love a hot, well built alpha male on a motorcycle, but i love it more when he finds a woman he wants with him. And when Ryder and Esme meet you know it’s real. I love the suspense, fast paced book.
A great story with great characters. I loved following the attraction between Ryder and Esme. Great action packed storyline, that will keep you reading, until the end.
This story will keep you engage from beginning to end. Christopher Harlan has done a great job of constructing the characters and world in this book. The chemistry between Ryder (H) and Esme (h) brings a lot of heat to the pages. I can’t wait to read additional books in this series.
I was provided an advanced reader copy of this book by the author and I voluntarily give an honest review.
I can always count on an amazing book when it is written by Christopher Harlan! Ryder’s story was so good. I found myself anxious to find out what would happen from page to page. Ryder’s drive for the things he loved was incredible. He is so passionate. MC is one of my favorite romance sub-genres. Can’t wait for more.
Absolutely loved Ryder and Esme’s story! It was one of those books that you just couldn’t put down. Looking forward to more books in this series!
Omg! Christopher Harlan has written another fantastic first read of a series that I’m sure is going to be amazing!
Ryder and Esme were everything and their story certainly packed a punch.
This really was an MC read like no other and I lived for it! I can’t wait to see where the rest of the series takes me, it’s going to be one heck of a ride!!
Ryder’s Edge was a great start to a series that packed the perfect amount of background in, some exceptional heat, a little humor and some great little deviations. I felt like I really knew Ryder’s character and I loved his background. I do feel like Esme had a little something more to her that remained elusive but I enjoyed her strength and sound mind. The story line went at the perfect pace and I love how by the end of the book everything was fitting together but definitely left me longing for more of this MC read.
Great book Christopher!
Smoking hawt book!
