About Ride Wild (Raven Riders #3)

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.

Excerpt:

Slider wrapped himself around her, his forehead against hers, his arm around her shoulder. She pulled him closer, needing his touch, needing his comfort, needing him.

Eyes still flooding, Cora heaved a deep breath, then another, until her breaths were shuddering but becoming more even. But her eyes wouldn’t stop leaking. Damnit.

“Come here,” Slider said, his voice full of grit. He pulled her off the bed and into his lap there on the floor of her bedroom.

Cora wrapped her arms around his neck. “Just being stupid,” she said.

“No way,” he said. “Big hearts are bound to get bruised, Cora, and yours is the biggest I’ve ever seen.”

And now she was crying again. She laid her head on his shoulder, her face pressed to his neck, and cried herself out until she was limp and exhausted. He rubbed her back and stroked her hair the whole time, just holding her and being there for her. And, man, that would’ve been enough. But it was the little kiss against her hair that had her too-big heart feeling entirely too full for her chest.

For being wrecked, broken, and more than a little lost, Slider Evans had a well of sweetness so deep that Cora wasn’t sure how she’d ever find her way out. Or if she even wanted to.

On another deep breath, Cora finally lifted her face and met Slider’s blazing light green eyes. He cupped her face in one big hand and swiped at her tears with his thumb, but it wasn’t enough, so he lifted the edge of his shirt and used that instead.

Cora managed a chuckle, even as she messed him up to put herself back together. “Sorry.”

“Don’t be,” he said, his voice full of gravel. “Aren’t we a pair?” He swallowed hard. “You feel so much, and I can’t feel enough.”

The words were so revealing that they nearly made her gasp. “Oh, Slider,” she said. “I think you feel more than you let on.” She hadn’t meant her, but the flare of those strange eyes told her he took it that way. And it made her want to backpedal. Fast. “I mean—”

He kissed her. Hand in her hair, his lips came down on hers in a soft press of skin on skin. It wasn’t the frenzy of their first kisses in his bed, but there was an intimacy in the softness, in the sweetness that hit her just as hard.

When he pulled away, his expression was intense and thoughtful, like he wanted to say something and needed to figure out exactly what it was. And then he nailed her with a stare and said, “Cora, you—”

Knock, knock. “Dad?” Sam called from outside Cora’s door.

“But you worked your way into my heart and my head and my house and my whole life until I could see again that I had a life.”

This book is just everything! *sigh* Laura Kaye, I cannot wait for more from the Riders! I can't choose whom I want next, I mean there's Jagger with me being curious of what he faced in the prison, or Phoenix or probably Caine.

I am quite out of words and don't know how to start this review. I mean, there are a lot of jumbled thoughts in my head but I really don't know how to organize them.


I think I'll start with: I took this book because I've read Bethany-Kris' review and we have discussed the book. Like ohmygosh! lol I think it is an integral part of understanding this book not that it matters to me because when there's blood and guns I'm all in. Anyway, she distinguished the difference of this being a mafia romance and a cartel. So I'm going with those. I think my only experience with cartel is the book Cartel and The Gypsy Brothers by Lili St. Germain (yeah, I finally remember the book in answer to my IG story).


I actually have a hard time getting into the story at first. It is fast paced and there was never really a down time. Like you have to know the characters as you go along like in the way they act, they talk, their thoughts and their interactions with other people. But I think it was presented in a good way as the reader becomes the judge of the personality of the character and not how the author wants the reader to see it.


There lies where the distinction with mafia and cartel plays an important role. If you've read mafia (of course you know they're Italian), you know there's an unspoken rule of the status of the females in the family. There's also a certain way business is done and a lot of rules.

In this book, it is a group of organized family, or what we call the cartel. Now, I am not well versed in cartel business but they also dabbled in drugs, guns and trafficking. The Trinity's main business was in drugs, and they're actually the supplier. **spoiler alert: (This is where Lucian's role is actually very essential and one not really explored in the book). **


In a way, this book made me think and made me read between the lines and connect the dots. It kind of irk me at first that there are time jumps or that there are scenes that felt like they were cut and that there should be more. In the end though, it added a sense of mysteriousness to the girls, the Trinity, and to what lengths they would do to help each other.

The time jumps felt like missing pieces for me. But I think one essential in the pacing of the story and where everything is going. The start, even though it is fast paced, feels like a slow burn, like it makes you want to feel angst and wants you to spill some blood and when you get to that part, it is somehow not exhausting.


Usually, I shy away from revenge books because they are exhausting. Like the author can't stress enough why the character needs to do this and that and that hate is strike with a match so that the flames would burn higher and higher as if the characters' lives depended on it. And one thing I find exhausting, emotionally.

This book however, is not like that. I actually don't know how to explain it but it's just something you would definitely enjoy the ride.

The relationship between Alec and Carissa is an all consuming feeling but is something that didn't leave them love-stupid but made them more cunning and the games they played were rather refreshing and hot and humorous!

One thing I love about this book is that you never know what will happen next. It would just feel like you've been blindsided because you never expected it to turn that way and that would make you feel like you miss something but you can't stop yourself to devour the words just so you'd know what will happen next.


Definitely an action packed story with a right amount of angst, killing and sexiness. And for a DEBUT novel? Kudos to the author! The Trinity is something to look forward to!

Because asdfghjkl!! The feels I have for this book! Ohmygad bes, I was shookt! Like, from the dedication and then knowing its Slider's story? Bes, mygas! I didn't know! I didn't read the blurb. *laughs maniacally* I mean, it's Laura Kaye for crying out loud, and baby its my Raven Riders. My love for this MC is to the roof!


Cora Campbell came to stay with the Raven Riders when she was rescued together with her friend Haven during one of the operations of the club when they helped the Hard Ink men. Throughout her journey, she felt powerless and all she wanted to do was be needed and loved and make her plans happen. Ever since Ride Hard, I've been rooting for Cora to have what she wanted. I was definitely intrigued by her. Her support and love for Haven are admirable but the secrets and laughs that she has was something piqued my protective instincts.

Slider on the hand has the world on his shoulders. The only thing that kept him leaving was his two sons who are so adorable and cute!


For reals, I'm just a blubbering mess! I've been like hoping and wishing it's gonna be their story and I was just so excited that it actually is! Added the problem they are facing with Jagger's jail time and the frame up, this book was just everything!

I think one thing I didn't count on and didn't expect was the weight on Slider's shoulder. My heart just melted for the guy but the gradual changes and the way how he 'came back to the living' was so intense it made me smile like a fool.


This book is definitely a treat for Raven Riders fans and Hard Ink fans out there! Yas, because baby OMG my boys!

The mood of the book, however, is quite different from other MC books out there, as it has little angst and violence. But I love it nevertheless because it focused on love and family and the people around us whom we can lean on when we are in need. Family doesn't have to be blood.

And I thought Eileen is the cutest, but Bosco TLB is just love.


This book is just everything! *sigh* Laura Kaye, I cannot wait for more from the Riders! I can't choose whom I want next, I mean there's Jagger with me being curious of what he faced in the prison, or Phoenix or probably Caine.

My beloved Raven Riders, I love them so much.
