The highly anticipated first book in the Knights Corruption Next Generation series…

For as long as I could remember, I wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps and become a member of the Knights Corruption MC.
But I never imaged one dream could destroy another.
I’d loved Riley since before I knew what the word meant but keeping our relationship a secret for all those years took its toll until I convinced myself we weren’t meant to be together.
I let her walk away without a fight, but after years of immersing myself in the club and living every day in a fog of denial, I realized my life was meaningless without her.
Now I just had to find a way to convince her to give me another chance.
And I wouldn’t stop until she was mine… again.

I'm an indie author who grew up with a love of reading and a very active imagination, never putting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard until 2013.

I typically write romantic suspense, as I love stories with some twists and turns. I also love my HEA, although the road to get there is quite the journey.

3 Second Chance Stars!

I have only been waiting for this book foreverrrr. It's so nice to see the gang again and my bae Marek. I think my favorite part was this seemed like an extra epilogue, or a look into the first generation gang's lives as they are in the future, and I get a bit giddy everytime they appear.

Now originally at the end of the last book in the first series, we see Kaden and Riley kissing, and I thought this book would turn into a cute, forbidden love story, which unfortunately it wasn't. This is my personal preference, but I am NOT a fan of second chance romances, unless it is a rare storyline where the heroine is the one who moves on and the hero is left pining, which this wasn't, making this ultimately, a romance not for me, and I ended up just skimming parts of them together, and read pretty much everything else.

Despite all of that, I am still super excited for the next books in the series, especially because this one seemed more like an introduction. I also love S Nelson's works, and I'm highly anticipating the next books. Can't wait for Lincoln's book.

Kaden was the first book in the Knights Corruption MC series - Next Generation by S Nelson.

Kaden was the son of Marek and Sully (book one original series, Marek). Riley was the daughter of Stone and Adelaide (book two original series, Stone). The two were best friends growing up and had a secret relationship that ended badly three years prior. No one in the club was the wiser assuming their friendship had just grown apart. They had barely seen each other in the last three years and Kaden decided now was the time to change it.

I liked both Kaden and Riley but I wanted more cohesion and depth from them. I craved a deeper dive sooner in trying to feel their connection. As for the MC storyline, Nelson reintroduced the older club members while simultaneously introducing the new generation. It was a treat to see all of them. The stage was set well, but it was confusing at times since it had been years since I had read the original series. But Nelson continued to then mesh the two generations to paint the picture from the last decades.

Additionally, Nelson referred to a potential new conflict with their prior enemy, one that had been lying dormant for years. It was only an introduction in Kaden, but we should see more development within the next few books.

Nelson left us with a huge MC cliff hanger. I’m not usually fond of cliff hangers, but this one was intriguing and had promise for an explosion with a possible twist. I’m hoping not all is as it seems. Riley’s brother, Linc, is up next in Lincoln and I can’t wait!

I do not read MC romances often. I usually have to be in the mood for them. Also, I have had a hit or miss with them when I do read them. S. Nelson is a new-to-me author and the synopsis drew me with being childhood friends to lovers/second chance romance. I was pleasantly surprised with this book and overall liked this book!

Story Plot
Kaden (main H) is the son of Marek and Sully. Riley (main h) is Stone and Addy's daughter. Basically, they are both second generation in the Knights Corruptions MC. Although they have a close bond and their families are very close, their love is one that would be never accepted due to Kaden's role in the MC. Kaden has constantly pushed Riley away as he felt he was doing the right thing for them but it only ended up hurting them both in the process. Kaden has a dream that pushed him to make a mends with Riley. But can these two put the past heartache behind them? What happens when all the secrets are aired out? Will they crash & burn or stand together in solidarity ?

Why 4 stars?

Although I have not read the previous series on the parents, I felt I did get a good idea of them in this book, especially Stone (who is Riley's dad). Man, does he have a temper, his wife definitely has her work cut out for her with him and how he handles his little girl growing up.

I liked the introduction to a past enemy (who has been lying dormant for years) coming back in the picture. That enemy is introduced in Kaden, but I have a feeling there will be more development within the next few books. Lastly, S. Nelson left us with a huge MC cliff hanger. I am never fond of cliffhangers but this one does have me intrigued to see what's going to happened and I need to know more with Lincoln (Riley's brother).

↠ I felt at times the book was draggy, especially with the main couple reconciling. Lack of communication was HUGE as both main characters were stubborn and would not fold on their predisposed thoughts. Sometimes they were locked in their heads and just did not want to convey how they were feelings due to the fear of being hurt.

↠ I wish the main h had a backbone a little more. Everyone was always protecting her, which is fine but it was almost like they stripped her voice/her own choice in situations. Specifically, her dad dictated a lot on what she could/couldn't do. I wish as a main h she stood up more for herself and had a voice/fought back against those individuals that controlled so much of what she did.

I received an ARC of Kaden. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I loved every single word beginning to end and ate this book up in 2 days. It played out like a movie in my mind. I fell in love with the first generation of Knights and for anyone who misses them they are back in the second generation! They don't just make small appearances, they are fully integrated in the story. You gotta love Stone and his temper! That's all I'll say lol. Loved Kaden and Riley, my heart was beating and I said OMG out loud so many times! Amazing, hot, so worth the wait!! Can't wait for the next one, I never want this series to end!

Worth the wait!! Did not disappoint. I’m already addicted to this series and of course we still get to see our old favorite characters. Kaden and Riley’s story is about forgiveness, redemption and moving on. I love a good second chance romance and this one checked all the boxes. This book also starts a new storyline with the Reapers. There was a lot of build up before they rekindled their relationship. When they finally connect the steaminess really takes off. Stone’s behavior is priceless in this story. I cannot wait for Lincoln’s story.

Where do I even begin! A book I only thought would exist in my wildest dreams, and it's amazing beyond measure.
If you, like me, fell in love with a dark, brooding biker who just wanted what was best for his club and the woman he loved, that man's son is going to melt you. Kaden, son of Knights Corruptions MC Prez, is the definition of sexy biker. Born and raised in the MC, Kaden only dreamed of patching in one day. But when he gets it, it may not turn out to be his biggest dream. The question is, can he survive a stone's wrath to get it?
Riley, only daughter of the MC VP, has been surrounded by overprotective bikers her entire life. Shes never been safer than surrounded by roaring bikes. She never imagined her life with one, until her best friend Kaden patched in. When that same patch puts a wedge between them, Riley has to protect herself from future hurt.
On top of young love rekindling, theres some old patches and names you just might recognize from the first adventure with KCMC. You know a Knight protects his own at all cost. This story pulled me in from page one. It's a wild ride on the back of some of my first Bikers. The resemblance to his father is uncanny in Kaden, but it's the differences that will draw you into to this young man looking for his place in the world and the club. While I think you could certainly read this as a stand alone, there is a lot of Easyer eggs so to speak hidden away from the first series that will have you begging to know what comes next just knowing with KCMC, it's never a smooth ride. If you read nothing else this year, let it be Kaden. It's a biker you wont regret.

I have eagerly awaited for this book, especially after the teaser S. Nelson put at the end of Ryder! It did not disappoint! I loved the back and forth between Kaden and Riley, and that she made him work for the forgiveness! Oh and the karma Stone has to eat!! I have to be honest and say I HATE the cliffhanger at the end, however I think this book was just the build up of what’s really going to be happening in the series. I can’t wait for the next one!! This book was an ARC.

Let me start my review by saying that I did very much like Kaden. I thought S. Nelson did an excellent job of meshing the original Knights with this new story. She kept the storyline focused on the hero and heroine, so it didn't seem like we were reading something we previously had in the other books.
What makes it hard to write a next-gen review is that I already knew I was going to love all these characters. I knew the setting would be one that I previously enjoyed, and I had high hopes going in. Was it a grand slam for me? No. But it was a solid triple. If you are a fan of the Knights of Corruption, I know you will love Kaden. If you are a fan of MC romance, again, you will enjoy this book. If you not ever read either, then I would recommend starting with Marek, you won't be disappointed!

WOW!!! Kaden is just as hot as his dad! I have read every one of the books in the first generation, and I am going to come right out and say Kaden did not disappoint.
Kaden and Riley have known each other since they were babies, they grew up in the club together, became bestfriends, and then yes fell in love. Well that might be true, but something happened a few years prior that had Riley cut off all kinds of communication with him. Kaden finally realizing just what he wants and who he wants it from decides he is going to go after the only woman who has ever owned his heart. I love how their dynamic worked. Yes they may have had a history, but it was a nice slow burn that when it finally ignited again it EXPLODED!!!
What happens when the club especially her dad finds out about it??? You are gonna want to find out, because if you have read the first gen then you know just what a hot head her daddy can be. There is new issues arising within the club, and they way this book ended I can not wait for the next 1 to see just how the mystery plays out.

Kaden and Riley grew up together in the mc as friends then fell in love. Riley cuts off all communication after something happens and Kaden decides who and what he wants in his life. The mc was always what he wanted but without Riley he can't be happy with his life. Now that Riley is back, he is determined to makes things work for them. Will things work out? A good start to the next generation of Knights Corruption MC.

Pues meh, la verdad solo quería que algo ocurriera y nunca paso, todo lo veía muy predecible, fácilmente pudo ser un libro mas corto y talvez lo es pero para mi fue en extremo largo.

My favourite mc read this year 😍.

So we first got a little taste of Riley and Kadens story at the end of Ryders book.
Kaden and Riley are the second generation of Knights Corruption mc and I loved the second generation as much as the first. The chemistry, connection and love Kaden and Riley have for each other is truly beautiful. I love how Kadens fiercely protective of Riley and always wanting to be around her.

I love that we get to see more of the first generation to, it made me want to re-read the whole series again.

S. Nelson not only gets you interested in the main characters but also every character that you meet in the story I found them all intriguing and there was one in particular 😏

This book was absolutely amazing and such a great read I cannot wait for the next book. I highly recommend this book. One warning though, make sure you have food and water because once you get started your not gonna want to put the book down 😉

Kaden is the first book in the Knights Corruption MC Next Generation series. I loved the original KCMC books and have no doubt these will be just as good. Kaden and Riley were best friends that fell in love at a young age. Unfortunately their love wasn’t enough. Kaden was working hard to get in the MC and that meant taking a step back in his relationship with Riley. No one knew that anything was wrong because they kept their relationship a secret. Three years and a bad dream later, Kaden decides to get his head out of his behind and get Riley back in his life. But is it too late? Good start to this series, but I felt that their reconciliation took too long to develop. Other than that, great read!!

Thrilled to get back in the Knight's of Corruption world!! This second generation is definitely carrying on in their father's footsteps!! Kaden is Marek's son who is wanting to re-kindle the flames with Riley, Stone's daughter. Well if you remember Stone's you know that sparks are going to fly! I love second chance romances, these characters are realistic and their chemistry is explosive. Loved all the angst, the constant push and pull, tensions mounting. Sandra Nelson creates characters that are larger than life, strong and threatening, yet she gives us their other side too with tender moments, desire and love. The ending was intense and I simply can't wait for more in Lincoln's story!!

Kaden by S. Nelson is book One in the Knights Corruption MC- Next Generation Series. This is the story of Riley and Kaden. This of course can be a standalone book. But, if like me you loved the previous series then this will just add to that love because we get past characters fully into this book.
Kaden and Riley grew up together since their parents where part of the MC. This lead them to be best friends then they actually feel in love. But they had to keep how deep they felt to each other and in front of others...but then their was a break up. Kaden thought he his dream was to take over the MC from his father and the club life. Riley had her feelings and secrets too. But once Kaden started to realize that what he had was more important that what he thought he wanted!
I am such a fan of this author I can never get a enough of her books. This book just gets me more obsessed with read her books and this new series...Loved it!!

I was so excited to get my hands on the new generation of The Knights Corruption and Kaden didn't disappoint!
Riley and Kaden together are HOT and I instantly swooned over Kaden just I like I swooned over the older generation. Seeing them throughout the story was such a bonus and I was so happy to see what they were all up to years down the track.
The ride through the book kept me wanting to read more and I honestly can't wait for the book in the series.
I love S. Nelson's work and would recommend any of her books and if you love MC then your in for a treat!

My fave MC books have always been Knights Corruption MC by S Nelson. I was so excited to see that Kaden was one of the next gen books. I loved this story and can't wait to read more in the series. I don't want to leave any spoilers so all I can say is get reading, you won't be sorry.

The next generation Knights of Corruption MC series is gonna be amazing if this book is any indication. S. Nelson did not disappoint her fans. Kaden was awesome. The back and forth with him and Riley made it a page turner. The older Knights were front and center in this book adding to the enjoyment. Can't wait till the next one arrives. I am truly addicted. Thank you S. Nelson!

Kaden was the best thing that happened in 2020. It was a delight to the see new and old folks from KC back with a fresh story. Generally I don’t enjoy second generation books as there is not enough angst, but believe me there is angst enough! Can’t wait for Linc and the rest of the team!

ending…

I was planning to give it a 3* but with that ending I’m not doing it. I’m not sure if I’ll read more books from S. Nelson but if I do it won’t be anytime soon…

Riley and Kaden's history and current situation made for a compelling read. I couldn't put this down! While this is a KCMC Next Generation story, I didn't feel lost without reading the KCMC series. I definitely will now though. The characters are so interesting, I need to know more!

I absolutely loved Knights Corruption MC so now S. Nelson is giving us the next generation now I couldn’t wait to get my hand on it. I broke night reading this because I could not stop reading this story is written so well I did not even realize how much I read through and was mad when I finished this book because I wanted more. Kaden and Riley’s story started back at the end of Ryder’s book. There chemistry, connection and love Kaden and Riley have for each other is truly beautiful. I love the new story line with the Reaper’s. I can’t wait for more in this series I’m leaving do much out!! Can Kaden survive Stone’s wrath? Will Riley for give Kaden? Can their Father’s keep them safe from the past?

I was really looking forward to the second generation of the Knights Corruption MC and this story didn't disappoint! Kaden and Riley have been friends since they were kids, but couldn't deny the attraction as they grew older. As Kaden and Riley decide to once again renew their passion, secrets are revealed that shake up the club.
I really enjoyed seeing the original MC members, especially as the interacted with the younger generation. This is an action filled MC romance that you don't want to miss. I can't wait for more!

This is the 1st part in the next generation series, and what an awesome beginning Kaden and Riley’s story is. This is a well written flawless story which is thrilling and a gripping tale, and is about forgiveness and redemption, as well as being a humorous, emotional, heart-breaking and steamy 2nd chance romance story. Stone had me in hysterics, but no spoilers; this is a definite must read you will not be disappointed. This talented author has penned a brilliant tale and I cannot wait to read more in this amazing series and highly recommend for all.

Knights Corrpution is my all time favorite MC series and S. Nelson is one of my favorite MC author's.
This next generation is going to be just as good as the first generation. To catch up with the parents was so good, it was like catching up with old friends. Yo will not be disappointed with this one and I cannot wait until the next comes out, my fear is it will end one day and then what do we do....Thank you S. Nelson for bringing these characters back to us.
