Publisher's summary

Is saving another’s soul worth risking your own?

Former special forces operator Ryder has never backed down from an assignment, and he’ll be damned if he lets a blonde-haired, smart-mouthed, pain in the a** destroy that record. She’s going to get her life together even if he has to drag her kicking and screaming to do so, and he’s not opposed to using a firm hand to yank her from the darkness back into the light.

MC born and bred, Kelsea is on a one-way path to rock-bottom. Determined to forget the horrible truths revealed about the man who fathered her, she’s drowning in a sea of booze, drugs, and meaningless hookups. She has no desire to be "saved", especially not by a bossy former Army Ranger with deep green eyes and a sexy Southern twang.

Being locked away at his cabin, cut off from the outside world, deeply buried secrets are rising to the surface, and lines between them are starting to blur.

The road to redemption is paved with heartache, though, and while Ryder wants to save her from the demons that haunt her, he’s not sure it’s worth the risk of losing himself or his heart in the process. But in the end, will Kelsea finally learn to save herself?

Note: Ryder is the second book of the Guts & Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While it’s recommended to hear both series in order, each book can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA, no cliff-hanger or cheating.

My Heart!

Wow, Ryder is such a great guy!!! Even when he's being all badass, he's got such a big heart! This book definitely had won tears, but it worked out for the best, even as rough as it was. Have to admit that I wasn't a big Kelsey fan at the beginning, but she won me over by the end!!! Great narration by Ava Lucas and J.F. Harding!! ❤❤

Loved this!

J.F. Harding was the perfect Ryder, although I didn't hear the slight southern accent Ryder is supposed to have. It was amazing anyway though. Kelsea and Ryder's story is full of emotion, heat, heart, drama, and of course love. Ava Lucas has done another fantastic job, as always.

the past doesn't define you

Kelsea absolutely shredded me. The responsibility of someone else's depravity sends her into a downward spiral of mammoth proportions. Ryder is the only one to finally open her eyes but at what cost? Jeanne St. James continues to reel me in. Ava Lucas and J.F. Harding, there are no words to describe their talent in bringing the book to life.

Ryder & Kelsie 🔥

Great book. Kelsie has went through so much and her life was completely out of control. Ryder was there to help her find her way not knowing that Ryder himself has also been down a similar path. The growth of both characters was amazing. Ryder also likes to sing and he sang 2 songs to Kelsie. I had to look them up just to read the lyrics and I shed a few tears. The last song he sings to her is at the end and it was just beautiful. This was also one hell of a hot book. You need to put a quarter in the slot and take a chance on this book 😉

My new favorite

Let’s just say that this is one author whose books are a MUST to be heard! Ava Lucas and J. F. Harding perfectly bring these characters to life as they read each delectable word. This spin off of the Down and Dirty MC series is gripping, passionate and packs a punch. The second book in the Guts and Glory series gives listeners Ryder and Kelsea’s story and what an emotional roller coaster it is. It can be listened to as a standalone but I recommend hearing the books in order. From the start, the listener is sucked into the drama as Ryder is once again tasked with bringing Kelsea to heal as she is acting like a spoiled brat. However, there is a reason for the behavior. What will it take for Kelsea to see the light? How much is Ryder willing to put up with? Get ready to fall hard for these two, laugh, and at times want to just reach out and give them a good swift kick. Prepare yourself because once you start this, you will not be able to stop listening and to heck with sleep. I highly recommend this book! I volunteered to listen to this audiobook and all opinions are my own.

least favorite

This was my least favorite book in the series. It just seemed their whole relationship was based on sex. I wish the time at the cabin could have just been about healing and not the sex.

Wow Incredible Highly recommend

Jeanne St.James is an incredibly gifted author with Guts & Glory Ryder she had me addicted to each word . The storyline between Ryder and Kelsey was deep, emotional, and moving. Two broken people dealing self destruction and recovering. Its hard to say all I want because I dont want to give any spoilers because you should get this story and listen for yourself its to good not too.
