Brotherhood. Club. Family.
They live and ride by their own rules.
These are the Raven Riders...
Wild with grief over the death of his wife, Sam “Slider” Evans merely lives for his two sons. Nothing holds his interest anymore—not even riding his bike or his membership in the Raven Riders Motorcycle Club. But that all changes when he hires a new babysitter.
Recently freed from a bad situation by the Ravens, Cora Campbell is determined to bury the past. When Slider offers her a nanny position, she accepts, needing the security and time to figure out what she wants from life. Cora adores his sweet boys, but never expected the red-hot attraction to their brooding, sexy father. If only he would notice her...
Slider does see the beautiful, fun-loving woman he invited into his home. She makes him feel too much, and he both hates it and yearns for it. But when Cora witnesses something she shouldn’t have, the new lives they’ve only just discovered are threatened. Now Slider must claim—and protect—what’s his before it’s too late.
Ride Wild is the third book in the Raven Riders series. This is Slider and Cora's story. I'm a big fan of this series and I have been intrigued by this coupe for a long time. I know when I think "motorcycle club", the words "sweet" and "endearing" don't come to mind. However, that is what this story is..sweet and endearing. I just loved watching these two fall in love with each other. In fact, it's always satisfying to take the journey with two lost souls who need each other.
Cora has never felt like she belonged anywhere. Slider has been numb and just going through the motions since his wife;s death. I was really rooting for them. I also loved watching Slider get back to a closer relationship with his two boys. I also have been trying to figure out how to talk my husband into letting us get a Bosco of our own. I definitely recommend this on as well as the series. I can't wait to see what comes next. Maybe Phoenix will get his chance at love soon.

Enjoy this excerpt. The book comes out next week!
When Cora returned five minutes later, he stood at the
kitchen counter chugging a glass of water.
“So, I’ll get changed,” she said, thumbing over her
shoulder. He gave her a nod and tried not to let his gaze try to connect the
rain droplets that darkened her sweatshirt and slicked the exposed skin of her
legs. “But I wanted to mention that we need to go grocery shopping.”
We. The word was a
total sucker punch.
And it made him need to get her the hell out of his house.
At least for a few hours. Because the only we
Slider did now was the kind he’d created with his own blood. “I’ll get on it.”
She didn’t leave to get dressed like he expected her to.
Instead, she lingered, then finally said, “I know you’re on again tonight and
need to sleep. Maybe…I could get Bunny to take me and we’ll drop everything off
here later.”
“That’s okay,” he said, shaking his head.
“Or, if it’s easier, I could even hang here today and you
could take me when you wake up. God knows I don’t have anywhere special I need
to be, so it wouldn’t be a problem…”
He pictured her staying in his house in a sudden flash of
images—her making lunch, her cuddled into the corner of the couch watching TV,
her stepping out of the bathroom, hair wet from a shower, and the
sweet-smelling scent of her lotion trailing after her…Twin reaction coursed
through him. A yearning for the companionship of another adult sharing his
space and his life. And a kneejerk fight-or-flight hell no that both left him unsettled and pissed him off.
All of which meant she had to go. Now.
“Jesus, I said I’ll take care of it. I don’t need you.”
Something akin to panic had the words coming out more harshly than he’d
intended, and his brain was already scrambling to clean up the mess his mouth
had made. “To do it, I mean. I don’t need you for shopping. Okay? I got it.”
“Right. Of course,” she said, backing out of the room, green
eyes flashing with an emotion he couldn’t name.
And he was a giant asshole. He scrubbed his face on a long
sigh and waited for her to come back so he could drive her home. And apologize.
He waited. And waited.
What the hell?
“Uh, Cora, you ready? He called out, making sure his tone
lacked the frustration he felt with himself. Two-plus years of withdrawing from
the world around him had left him all kinds of rusty at interacting like a
normal human being.
When there was no response, he waited a few more minutes.
Guilt a weight on his shoulders, Slider finally went back down the hall toward
the family room where she slept on the couch because she’d long ago refused his
offer to use his bed on nights when he wasn’t home. The downstairs bathroom was
empty. And so was the family room. A creeping apprehension squeezed his chest
when he noticed that her bag was gone and the blankets she used were back in their
neat little stack, too.
No. No, no. Shit.
His gaze lifted to the door to the back porch, and that was
when he knew.
She’d left.
He’d been an asshole, and she’d left. And now she was on the
street.
Sonofabitch.
