Review Tour: Ride Dirty by Laura Kaye + Excerpt!

   


From New York Times Bestselling author Laura Kaye, comes RIDE DIRTY, a new novella in her Raven Riders Series, brought to you by 1,001 Dark Nights! Be sure to grab your copy today!

   


About RIDE DIRTY: Caine McKannon is all about rules. As the Raven Riders Sergeant-at-Arms, he prizes loyalty to his brothers and protection of his club. As a man, he takes pleasure wherever he can get it but allows no one close—because distance is the only way to ensure people can’t hurt you. And he’s had enough pain for a lifetime.

But then he rescues a beautiful woman from an attack.

Kids and school are kindergarten teacher Emma Kerry’s whole life, so she’s stunned to realize she has an enemy—and even more surprised to find a protector in the intimidating man who saved her. Tall, dark, and tattooed, Caine is unlike any man Emma’s ever known, and she’s as uncertain of him as she is attracted. As the danger escalates, Caine is in her house more and more – until one night of passion lands him in her bed.

But breaking the rules comes at a price, forcing Caine to fight dirty to earn a chance at love.

Excerpt:

With every new thing he shared, Caine felt like a thin filament stretched between them, anchoring them together. The connection between them was growing, strengthening. He could feel it like he’d never felt anything before.

He was getting attached. To that feeling. To Emma herself.

It was what he’d always wanted. It was the thing he feared the most.

But right now, he had it. He had her. And he wanted her…

“Stand up, Emma.” The questions in her gaze quickly shifted to understanding, and she rose above him. His hands went to her waistband and quickly bared her. Caine pulled her until she stood with her feet on either side of him where he sat leaning against the front of the couch. “I want my mouth on you again.”

The moan that spilled out of her at the first swipe of his tongue went right to his cock. He unzipped his jeans and shoved them down his thighs. Then he held her open with his thumbs so that her clit was right where he wanted it to be. He sucked and flicked and nipped until she was thrusting against his face. He groaned his approval. Her hips became more frantic. “Caine,” she cried hoarsely, her knees going out such that she nearly collapsed into his lap, still shaking.

He took advantage and kissed her, wanting some part of him inside of her while her orgasm wrung every second of pleasure out of her.

“Jesus, your mouth should be illegal,” she said, chuffing out a breathless laugh.

“You say the nicest things,” he said, the playful words probably masking just how much he lapped up her praise. “Will you take me in you?”

She didn’t hesitate—she shifted to her knees. They both shucked their shirts. He pulled his last condom from his wallet and rolled it on.

She impaled herself on him, inch by soul-stealing inch. “You fill me up so good,” she said.

The echo of his earlier thought stretched a new filament of connection between them. “Ride me, Emma. Show me how you like it.”


       


Review:

3.75-4 stars
****

This was a good quick read. This novella is Caine and Emma's story. Caine is in the Raven Riders MC. He is a quiet guy with a bad past who holds himself back from letting others get close to him, including his brothers. Emma is a kindergarten teacher, sweet and bubbly, but lonely. One night, Caine happens upon Emma getting mugged and runs off her attacker. Later, Emma makes cookies to thank him. She likes Caine, but he thinks he isn't worthy of her because he has a lot of past baggage. Still, he wants to watch out for her so he often drives by her house. It is soon apparent that someone is stalking her and that her mugging was not random. Caine begins protecting Emma and, as the two spend time together, they fall for each other.

This was a good story, but I think it was a bit much to fit into a novella. Caine had a lot of emotional angst over his past. The book was sweet and short and it all wrapped up a little too easily. I needed more resolution on how he got over his issues, which could have been fleshed out more if the book were longer. But, overall, I did enjoy this book. I liked Caine and Emma. I thought she was just what he needed to lighten his life up. They were a good couple.

Overall, this is an emotional, sweet and sexy read. I am sad to see this series end as I have really enjoyed the Raven Riders. I look forward to more from Laura Kaye in the future!
