Rider: Exiled Guardians MC 6
A Best Friends to Lover Romance
Willow
I did it.
I fell in love with my best friend.
Should I mention he’s a player?
So, I make a proposition – we be friends with benefits.
Surely, it won’t backfire.
Rider
I’m in a motorcycle club and my best friend is a girl.
She wants to be friends with benefits.
I want forever.
Somehow, someway, I’m going to convince her how good love can be between friends.
Dear Reader,
I love to read MC romances. I’ve just always enjoyed reading about the tightness of the MC brothers and the way they love their women. I love it so much that I have always wanted to write one. However, being a short story romance author, it seemed impossible to build an in-depth storyline like most MC romance series, but I wanted to give it a try. Therefore, I present to you my version of an MC romance. I’m borrowing the term MC Lite from Frankie Love. It is heavy on the motorcycle club sense of family, it has lots of alpha men and the curvy women that love them. However, it is a little lite on the drama and most violence is handled off-page. I sincerely hope you like it.
XX,
Hope
This is a Steamy, Sweet, Short Story Romance. No Cliffhangers. This is the sixth story in the Exiled Guardians MC Series. If you love short romances with insta love, hot love scenes, and a sweet story, then this one is for you.

Rider has been alittle envious of the couples around him, and he would love to tell his best friend how he feels.. but he hasn't. As for Willow she feels something also for Rider but she doesnt tell him her true feelings.. but she suggests friends with benefits.
They do the dirty.. but some emotions are driving them crazy..
No ow drama slight tiny om drama, no cheating, slight secondary chara, sexy time, no virgins (was celebite for a monthish I think)
Recommend- maybe

Wonderful!! This was a nice quick, short read. I absolutely love it.
Rider and willow meet when he was on leave and she was in college. They got drunk together and passed out. They been best friends since she wrote to him while in the service and he goes to all her big events. Willow just broke up with her boyfriend and meets Rider at the bar for some shots. They both want to tell each other how they feel but are afraid it will ruin their friendship. Keeper tells Rider he needs to tell Willow, and that she’s in love with him too. Willow goes home with Rider, after she showers she needs to talk to him. She asks him if they can be friends with benefits. He agrees and takes her to bed. She makes him promise her they’ll always be friends. The next day Willow leaves she’s late for work she leave a note that she took his truck. Rider goes to talk to her at work but sees her with her ex and takes off. Later at home she tells him she needs to tell him something then leaves to collect herself. Rider notices the crumpled up notes in the garage and read them. He finds out Willow loves him too. He finds her coming out of the bathroom and takes her to bed. He tells her she loves him and he loves her. A Few Month Later Rider finds Willow throwing up in the bathroom, he tells her now that she pregnant they’re getting married next week. She argues with him she can’t plan a wedding in a week so he tells her two weeks.

Rider is book six in the exiled guardians MC series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Rider and Willow are best friends that are in love with one another unbeknownst to each other. Rider is getting ready to make his move when Willow suggests being friends with benefits. Will Rider and Willow ever reveal their true feelings for one another?
The chemistry between Willow and Rider is clear to see and I loved them as a couple. I liked that Willow and Rider were best friends before they got together.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Willow and Rider, I wanted to smack their heads together. They were so blind to how they each felt about the other when everyone around them could tell that they were head over heels in love. I am a little sad that they have loved each other for years but continued to sleep with other people. I can't wrap my head around that, but that's just me. Willow was so close to telling Rider the truth but chickened out and proposed the friends with benefits option lol that's one way to get under the man of your dreams. I love that after they slept together, Rider was such a calming force in her life, telling her that their friendship would remain. It irritated me though that these two almost didn't admit their feelings, it came down to a crumpled note from Willow that Rider found in his garbage. Are you kidding me people, say it with me, we are adults!! Other than those minor irritants, the story is pretty cute and Rider is swoon worthy. Who doesn't love a tattooed biker with a good heart.

Friends to Lovers
Just when you think Hope is done with a series she listens to the crowd and gives the stories we asked for!
Loved Rider & Willow's best friends to lovers story! That is one of my favorites to read, as they tend to have a history, know each other well and have a great foundation for a lasting relationship.
Rider might have been part of the MC but he wasn't as hard edged and rough as the other guys, he knew his heart & mind and just needed to "grow a pair" and tell Willow how he felt.
I'm so excited we got Rider's story and I'm excited to see how the series now ends with Brewer's story.

Meh.
There's not much to this one.
Best friends who both like each other but are too afraid to say it.
Willow proposes friends with benefits, which lasts 5 minutes. The next day, they are both confessing love.
Months later ofcourse because this author doesn't believe in condoms or birth control (I mean willow had a boyfriend and Rider is apparently a player but sure it's fine) and who the hell proposes "friends with benefits" but with zero protection.. so dumb.
So ofcourse another pregnancy. This MC is basically a child care at this rate.

omggg
I loved rider and willows story! So amazing. Short sweet and steamy. Loved that they have been friends for so long. But both secretly live one another. Love that it’s easier to have sex than be honest with one another but they both think they will figure it out later. Willow suggest friends with benefits but all rider wants is forever. Loved the end. And the ..”guess this means you’re finally going to marry me “ lol. Can’t wait for brewer.

Quick
This was just a quick little read, but we get to see another of our fav MC group. We also get to see Keeper again and a hint at a new book of another member. Willow and Rider are so perfect for each other, but of course they both have to get their crap together first. I actually enjoyed this book and hope you do too.

Best Friends Forever
I loved this story. Best friends to lovers to love to forever? Nothing is better than that. What we are willing to do for love, even if it breaks the heart, if it’s true love, then it’s worth it. Loved the ending!!

This series just gets better and better
Rider and Willow are my faves!!! Love the
guy/girl being best friends and fall in love trope. Of course they would misunderstand how they really feel. Still they would not be denied. Ohhhh and they're having a baby. Precious!!!!

Feelings are confusing
These two friends want to take their relationship to the next level but are afraid that the other one doesn’t. It sweet but at the same time you just want one of them to put their feelings out there.

Rider
Rider and Willow were so crazy. Best friends, so in love with each other, but scared to tell each other. Glad they got their happily ever after and a baby on the way, this makes it perfect for me.

Best friends rock
When your best friend becomes a friend with benefits, love can't be far off. Rider and Willow have been BFFs for a long time, neither of them knowing the other was in love with them. I was happy to read how it all turned out.

Good book
I have enjoyed this series of stories a lot. You kind of get the feeling of what they were feeling before they realize they both love each other. Rider and Willow are good together. Thanks for a good book. Written by Cindy v:)
