Very short novella introducing us to Ryder, the first character in Hope Stone’s Outlaw Souls series. While this was meant to be just an introduction and a bit of a backstory, I still think it could have had slightly more detail to it. There’s nothing in this novella that isn’t covered in the first book of the series, Ryder. And even going back and seeing what happened to Ryder to get him to where he is at the beginning of his book, there just isn’t enough content added to truly care about.
Still, it’s well written, and if you are enjoying the Outlaw Souls series and this one slipped by you, I’d say go back and read it.
