My ARC Review of Ryder by Rebecca Brooke

ARC received for an honest review

Synopsis - 

All you want is to be invisible… 
Ryder Harris has spent most of his adult life moving from one place to another. He learned a long time ago that people always let you down and the only person you can rely on is yourself. When Ryder’s bike breaks down outside a small town, he’s left with no choice but to hang around. Running from his past, hiding who he is usually easy. That’s what he does. At least until the tough talking Ryann walks into his life and some of the secrets he thought he’d never reveal push him into the one thing he never wanted. 
To be seen.

My Review -  

hmmmmm......I am giving this a 3 star rating.    It was short, quick read.  

I was left with mixed feelings.  I wanted to love Ryder.  A loner, of sorts.  Making his way to a big city so he can fade into the darkness and live his life and not be questioned every minute of the day about why he's so to himself etc.  But, life has different plans.  He breaks down in a small town and thus begins this fast paced - "romance" of sorts.

We have Ryann - who at first gives off this Takes no shit from anyone - spitfire.   But, after an incident things change.... a complete 180.  Ryann all of a sudden feels the need to take care of Ryder - a complete stranger to her!  After the night before she was giving him the go f*ck yourself vibes.  

I felt like the story was rushed.  We didn't really get any character development.  It's left with a cliffhanger.   I think the story has potential to be more in book two.  This "novella" just ran a little short for me.  I am curious to see just what becomes of his past and the reasons he is running.  I liked it well enough to continue the series, but I didn't 4-5 star LOVE this short novella.
