About Ride Wild (Raven Riders #3, 10/31/17)

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.

My Review

I was anxiously awaiting this Raven Riders story and OH.EM.GEE. Laura Kaye did not disappoint! Slider and Cora's story was hands down my favorite book in this series! I'm telling you about this book after I was consumed by ALL. THE. FEELS and suffering from a book hangover.  While I loved Dare and Maverick, I do believe Slider bumps them to the number one spot!  Slider hasn't been himself since he lost his wife.  Cora is trying to find her place in the world after life has treated her the way that is has. (If you haven't read this series, I don't want to ruin anything for you.) She finds herself helping Slider out and getting to know his boys.  Soon, she burrows under his skin and he finds himself wanting to be around her.  I enjoyed seeing Slider come out of his shell and slowly come back to life.  Cora was good for him and his boys. She brought life to their home and was good for each of the Evans men.  I enjoyed their budding romance, the mystery that is plaguing the Raven Riders and the action this book brought! I was completely consumed by this book and devoured it in one sitting because I couldn't walk away.  I can't recommend it enough; I LOVED it! If you haven't read this series yet, I do recommend starting at the beginning. 



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.
