Review: Joker - Andi Rhodes & Nicole Cypher

Joker by Andi Rhodes
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Joker is book two in the Soulless Kings series by Andi Rhodes and Nicole Cypher. The book focuses on Joker and Riley. We met Joker in the previous book, he is a hard man, who doesn’t trust women at all (why would he with his history). When he meets Riley, he has an instant attraction to her but knows that she is hiding secrets that could possibly put his brothers/family in danger. To make matters worse, his mother has also turned up again and opened a bag of worms that Joker isn’t ready to face.

Riley is scared and she has nowhere to turn other than to the Soulless Kings for help. What starts off as a white lie puts her on Joker’s radar and they have a lot of arguments due to her lack of honesty, something which is integral to Joker. But when the truth comes to light, Joker will do anything in his power to help the strong yet vulnerable woman, which in turn will help him slay his own demons in the process.

I really liked that Riley was a tough woman in the world of boxing and she did what she thought was right to protect her friends. She puts up with a lot from Joker and his mean ways but she calls him out on it. Even though she is slow in trusting him, she knows that he is broken too and she sees that first hand when his mother turns up out of the blue.

Not everything was roses for this couple and there are times where Joker can be quite brutal but as he gets closer to Riley we see a more human side to him, especially when he tells his brothers what happened to him when he was a child. This is definitely a gritty MC series with lots of actions, honesty, violence and some very hot sexy times. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
