The red-headed beauty didn’t belong there.
It was her brother who’d betrayed us, but there she was, atoning for his sins.

I love the writing in this story! I felt it was edgier than the normal stuff and I loved the characters! And the little things happening on the sidelines!!!
I also love trying to guess what is gonna happen and how this or that will play out!!!
I liked the characters, but there were plot points that were really weak. I love MC romance, but this one tried to combine certain events that would affect the individuals a whole lot worse than they did. And, I just think the author should have given different conflicts instead of the “family” angle that she took. I couldn’t suspend belief that way.
Great series
Wanted to read this first book since I got book 2 as an arc. Well she didn’t expect this to happen, but here she is. Plenty of action, steam and betrayals. Two people meet in an unexpected way. HEA
ok but forgettable. I borrowed this book a couple of months ago and decided to begin reading it this week. Got to about Chapter 3, when I realized everything was sounding very familiar. Then it dawned on me that I had already read it. Hmmm. I have read other books by this author but for some reason this one didn’t stick like the other. The story was very slow, and not really engaging.
I stopped reading and decided to look at the next in the series.
I read this via Kindle Unlimited so can’t really say if it is worth your $$, but can honestly say that you might want to pause before starting, if your time means something to you.
The beginning of another great series by Author L Wilder.
I do love how all her series with MC Clubs are inter-connected, but this MC Club in particular I found a little more “harder ” in their position of not only helping their brother clubs move product but they actually sell the product themselves through theri strip clubs.
This story starts us with Sargent of Arms Hawk/Zander and a situation where a dealer that helps with supplying their drugs, makes a hyge mistake, which has them paying such dealer a visit.
Things escalate whlist at the dealers home, where they discover a woman that is the dealers sister.
hawk is put in charge of taking care of the young woman who is Delilah, our heroine in the story.
With her sassy mouth an inability to do as he is told, Hawk is put in charge of her whilst at the MC Compound.
Out story starts here with instant attraction between both.
I love how L Wilder lets us get to know all characters of the MC Club and I loved how in this one we also got to know more about where the Heroine works and the people she cares for. Here we discover another story within the story.
One thing I wasnt expecting was the lack of Club “HO’s” at the Club itself, it was from what I found, more a place for our MC Members themselves.
I liked reading or being introduced to other aspects of the MC Club itself, that I might not of read in other MC Series by this author or others. It was great.
Thank you for a great read. I gave 4 stars but really meant for it to be 4.5 but didnt know how to do it.
Now to get book 2 and Shotgun. I loved reading in TTB about Shotgun and his ruthlessness. I also cant wait to read about the other members also, Rafe, Viper and Danny Delilah’s brother. Also what his road name is to be.
thank you for a great read and for allowing me to become one of Wilder’s Women.
Ties That Bind by L Wilder is the first book of the Ruthless Sinners MC series. Well written, interesting and exciting story. These characters are entertaining, protective, raw, possessive men who will do anything to protective their club and the women they love. The chemistry is hot. The story has drama, angst, action, and steam. I love it and am anxious to read more.

Ties that Bind was the first book in the Ruthless Sinners MC series by L Wilder.
I’m a huge fan of Wilder’s other MC series (Satan’s Fury MC and Devil’s Chasers MC) and Ruthless Sinners was no exception. Wilder did an excellent job of setting the stage for the MC brothers as well as navigating through the relationship development between Hawk and Delilah. It was well written, well developed, and intriguing.
Hawk was a patched member of the MC. Family was everything and his loyalty ran deep. And Delilah had the same loyalty to family but unfortunately, due to her family commitment, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. So their meeting was not under the best of terms, but Wilder walked us through the messy process with plenty of sparks.
I loved the storyline and the development. True to Wilder’s style, the MC was fierce, loyal, alpha and a force to be reckoned with. And her heroine was strong, sassy, independent and the perfect match for her hero. I can’t wait to read more from the Ruthless Sinners – and hopefully we’ll get a series for the Dark Ravens too!
Really liked the story. Hard to hear about some of the things involved in info acquisition but that’s the game. Loved ‘Hawk’ or Zander and Delilah. You could tell there was a connection from the start. Loved the club scene towards the end. So funny. Loved how Danny seemed to find his way. And wow didn’t see that twist of a plot coming.
Wanted to read this first book since I got book 2 as an arc. Well she didn’t expect this to happen, but here she is. Plenty of action, steam and betrayals. Two people meet in an unexpected way. HEA
Author Leslie Wilder had incorporated Ruthless Sinners MC in the last couple of her Satan’s Fury MC series (Memphis chapter). The members of that club needed their own story, so a new spin-off series was a bonus!
This first installment is Hawk’s story. He’s the club’s sergeant-at-arms. While the club finds Danny, the guy who handles their ”product” but has been screwing up lately, they also wind up hauling in his sister, Delilah. Call it a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Nevertheless, there’s a lot more to Danny’s situation, and the real thugs who mess with the club pay for it greatly.
Meanwhile, something steamy is brewing between Hawk and Delilah.
Lots of action and a new cast of characters to love make this a fantastic start to the series—Five-stars for me.
Oh how i LOVED Hawkes book.
This book is one ive been waiting for and it did not disappoint at all.
Hawke and Delilah’s story was amazing from the moment they met eachother there was fire.
Delilah was a wild fire and she loved to talk. Hawke was drawn to her and couldnt controll it.
Delilah hated the club at the start for what they did to her brother.
Danny who is Delilah’s brother got in alot of trouble with the club but that ended up working in Hawkes favour and he met the girl of his dream.
To find out what happened for Hawke to meet Delilah you MUST read!!!!
I read all of her books and I love them all

Ties that Bind by L. Wilder was a great read. It had enough action to keep you interested but not too much to the point that you thought you were reading an action book instead of a romance. The plot was intriguing, you weren’t sure who was the villain is. What side of the line is the MC on? Are they as cruel as we are to believe in the beginning? Or are they misunderstood and trying to protect the club.
Delilah is a small town girl just trying to make a good life for herself and love her family. Yet her brother is getting into trouble like normal and she gets stuck in the middle of it. When she gets pulled into the world of the MC and has to learn how to function with their demands.
Hawk has never had a problem getting women. He is in an MC, there is always a willing girl around to fulfill his needs. But when he sees a feisty redhead in the backseat of the truck and is told to keep an eye on her so she doesn’t escape. He fell hard for her, yet because she isn’t from his world he fights it. He knows she is not the girl for him.
L. Wilder does a great job of showing relationships of the characters, and even though it is in dual POV, she does a great job of keeping the h/H separate in the way they communicate.
First book in the Ruthless Sinners MC series. This is a crossover from the Satan’s Fury MC – Memphis series. Full length told in dual POV. Can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone. Each book is about a different club member and this being a first we get introduced to a lot of secondary characters that will be the same throughout the series. Plenty of club business in the story-line in this one! Hawk is the club’s sergeant-at-arms and his brothers are all that is important to him. Delilah is in the wrong place at the wrong time thanks to her brother. Hawk & Delilah had reluctant chemistry; I enjoyed their bumpy road to HEA!
“I didn’t want to hurt her.
I wanted to protect her, claim her as my own, but as secrets started to unfold, I was left with an impossible choice.”
I have an on again – off again with MC romance. Guess what…it’s on again!
Ms. Wilder has me walking on the wild side with Hawk! I just love the alpha male characters! So happy to be joining this MC!
I received an advanced reader copy, and this is my honest and voluntary review.”
I absolutely love this author’s writing!! She always has well developed characters and intriguing story lines. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time that is what happens to Delilah when she is visiting her brother Danny. She is taken hostage along with Danny brought to the Ruthless Sinners compound. From the first moment Hawk lays eyes on Delilah he is a goner for that fire in her eyes. After a while Hawk grows on her and she is softening towards what she perceives as the enemy. Will they be able to meet on common ground to further develop their relationship? Will Hawk turn out to be like every other man in Delilah‘s life and disappoint her? I can’t wait for the next installment of the series!!

Excellent start to a new series by L. Wilder. This motorcycle club book is about a tough but tender alpha biker and the hot-headed woman who changes his life.
Hawk enjoyed his life as a member of the Ruthless Sinners and all the “perks” of his status, including his pick of women. He’s never even thought of making one of them his own, until he meets her. They should’ve never met, probably wouldn’t have, if her brother hadn’t screwed over the club. Now someone has to pay…
She’s innocent. Unaware of the mess her brother has made of his life, Delilah stops by to check up on him and lands in a hell of a mess with the local MC. Now she’s their prisoner. It’s scary as he’ll but she can’t help but be tempted by the man assigned to guard her. He’s an enigma, a rough and tough biker but there’s goodness in him. His fists demand justice but his hands are tender with her. Can the two coexist?
Hawk and Delilah were super hot together and Hawk turned out to be lovely and even sweet. (Don’t tell him I said that. ) In getting to know the MC, Delilah and her brother, Danny learn what real love and loyalty look like. There are several twists in this book that’ll keep the reader on their toes but you’ll stay for the sweetness between these two. Great book.

The start of a new series … freaking awesome!
When L Wilder introduces a new series to readers, she really goes all out with it. Hawk and Delilah definitely go through a ride in this book, more so Delilah. Her eyes definitely get opened to more of the world around her in this story. There is an emotional impact in this story that I really liked and that kept me entertained.
What I really liked was again how big “family” came into play in this book. Not only the family that come from but the one that you make. Delilah and her brother’s bond grows very strong through the story, but so does the bond with both of them and the MC. I really liked the overall interaction Delilah had with the MC, but totally loved the scene towards the end of the book at the strip club. Totally hilarious!
Overall, great start to a new series. I definitely liked being introduced to the new characters in Ruthless Sinners world. I think what comes next is going to be interesting to say the least and I can’t wait to see what the other MC characters get up too. So, two thumbs up and happy reading!
This is the story of Hawk and Delilah and how they maneuver through the pitfalls of the lives they live. I loved how complex the characters are and how this story has so many twists. Amazing story and I couldn’t stop reading. Highly recommend this story.
