About this eBook

There’s a thin line between love and hate.


Kyra Kado hates Van Hernandez. Or at least she wishes she could. Ever since she kissed him and he rejected her as a “mistake”, things have been tense onboard their tour bus. Kyra takes out her aggression during her drumming performances as a member of Kason Cox’s band and tries not to think about how well Van guards her body between their shows.


Until she meets Ollie Dawes, who’s the perfect distraction. Funny, flirty, and cute AF, he takes her mind off Van. The Hot Rides salvage man is used to being alone on his solo part-finding missions, but she suspects he’d rather not be lonely anymore. She can relate. So she invites him to come see a show.


When Van discovers Kyra and Ollie performing an illicit encore together, he goes berserk. Distancing herself from Van might keep Kyra’s heart safe, but what about her body? A string of unsettling incidents make Kyra afraid one of her admirers has crossed the line from fan to fanatic.


With Ollie and Van teamed up to protect Kyra, she isn’t sure she’ll survive being torn between the two men she craves. She might have to sacrifice her friendships with them to stay sane, unless she can think of a way to keep them both in her life or in her bed.

This is the third book in the series. I couldn't wait to dive into this one. I've loved Ollie in the previous books and I couldn't wait for him to get his book. There is a ton of heat and chemistry in this book. When Van, Ollie, and Kyra are together is off the charts hot. What I like about this book though it delivers on the heat and steam it also has substance. There is plenty of feels in this book. Ollie's past brought tears to my eyes. I loved watching Van and Ollie come together to give Kyra everything she deserves. Van and Ollie may just find out more about themselves along the way as well. There is also a suspenseful element that adds a another layer to this book. You get a lot of emotion and feels along with the heat which makes a great book in my opinion. I liked the set up for the next book. I also enjoyed catching up with previous characters to see them enjoying their HEAs.

I knew from the beginning paragraphs that these three were in for a hard time. Everything, all those emotions, buried so deep. All the protection mechanisms, fortified and so natural, breaking through them wouldn’t be easy. All those worries, about not being enough, about being abandoned, yet again, because that is all life has taught you. But underneath all that, such huge hearts and the wish to be loved Kyra, Van, and Ollie worked so well as a series of duos, but the ability to want to give more to the others, it made them work as a trio. A hot, steamy, heat seeking, trio. And it was enough, for a while, but they all wanted, and deserved, more, and the road to get there wasn’t easy, but they made it! I loved the vulnerability in the strength from these three. I loved their ability to smile through their heartaches. I loved their ability to know the people they loved so well, even before they knew they loved them. I simply loved the three of them together!

This series just keeps getting better and better! Hard Ride is book three in the Hot Rides series. As with book two, Slow Ride, you can probably read this as a standalone but I think you will definitely enjoy it more if you've read the previous two books first. Wow, this book is hot! The blurb is great so take a look at it. At first I thought this was going to be an MFM ménage story but not so and boy am I glad I was wrong. Kyra and Van work together as part of singer Kason Cox's group; she's his drummer and Van is head of security. They are best friends but Kyra wants more. After they have a moment together, the next day Van acted like nothing had happened which upset Kyra and didn't do anything good for her self-esteem. She decides it's time to look elsewhere. Ollie is a good guy and he works for the Hot Rides so Kyra has had the opportunity to get to know him and she begins to more than like him. Unfortunately, she can't seem to forget Van either. With all of the poly groups among the Hot Rides extended family Kyra begins to wonder if she could have something similar for herself. Getting these three people together as a triad wasn't easy – Van was a bit slow to come around – but boy once they did was it hot as fire! There are some pretty tense moments with an over zealous fan of Kyra's and it tested Ollie's ability to overcome something from his past. All in all, this was another great story from Jayne Rylon. The story for Kyra, Van and Ollie has a HFN but the last chapter sets up the next book which will be about two new characters introduced in Hard Ride, Dan and Walker. I think it's going to be a great one. An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
