Running Wild

Hell Ryders MC, Book 1

By: J. L. Sheppard

Narrated by: Ken Solin

When the perfect life Alyssa Holden planned turns out to be a life of lies, she runs to her brother, the only person she can trust. She has no idea she's running straight into a world of badass bikers who live and ride by their own rules. One tatted rebel in particular calls to her wilder side, and while everything in her draws her toward him, every experience she's had with men warns her away.

Jace Warren is doing what he's done his whole life - trying to survive, making the best with what he'd been given. The only life that makes sense after the military is Hell Ryder's Motorcycle Club, but the sweet innocence of his army buddy's sister promises a different life, one a man like him can only dream of. Problem is being his MC brother's sister puts her off limits. Hard as it is, he keeps his distance. Then she kisses him, and all bets are off.

DNF the narration and sound quality SUCK

I'm gonna have to read this the old fashion way. the narration was horrible and the acoustics... I couldn't get through the first chapter.

This would be a better read than listen.

I liked the story Idea. The self deprecation jobs that these characters did on themselves, truly began to irritate. Also their lack of communication was frustrating. The sound quality of parts of this narration were poor. "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."

Good Listen

Typically I do not listen to many MC books, but I was intrigued by this one. I could envision so much of this book (maybe its from watching Sons of Anarchy). I thought the narrator did a great job with his characters and performance. Aly and Jace seemed to go well together, although Aly seemed a little weak. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I was glad that the ending turned out the way it, without giving away spoilers, it could have gone several directions.

loved it!!

I absolutely loved this book! there were parts i rolled my eyes because of how sweet some of these guys were, but that's one of the things i loved about them too!! i really liked that she had enough and started standing up for herself and changed what she was willing to accept and unwilling to accept for her life, and wasn't going to settle.

Mediocre, at best

First things first, as a fan of Sons of Anarchy, I was excited to listen to a MC based romance. The story was good, the characters were decent and I enjoyed the plot. HOWEVER, the narration was SO bad…it made this book increasingly difficult to listen to. The voices were horrible, the audio quality was poor and you could tell there were spots that were recorded separately and edited in very poorly. The narration was monotone and lacked any kind of enthusiasm or emotion for the story, and makes me hard pressed to want to continue with the series. I’ll give book two a try, but can’t make any promises.
