Review: Great start to a new MC series

This is a sweet and sexy story about opposites attracting. It’s the first book in the Four Horsemen MC series by Cynthia Rayne.Our heroine, Elizabeth, is depicted as a prim and inexperienced librarian who also has an unexplored wilder side. Ryker, our hero, is a member of the Four Horsemen MC who is happy with his rowdy life and single status - until he meets Elizabeth.The night they meet, Elizabeth is drinking and crying in a biker bar after attending the wedding of her ex-boyfriend and her best friend. Ryker approaches her and they end up spending the night together. From there, the romance moves very fast. Regardless of them physically getting together so quickly, I would’ve preferred a slower emotional courtship where they got to know each other better. They move from lovers to dating to relationship in a matter of days. The actual love came later, which is one of the reasons I think this story worked well in the end. I do wish it would’ve been a longer book further exploring the theme of wild biker man + sweet naive woman.I loved both main characters. Despite his tough guy act, Ryker is both hot and cute. He calls her “Pinky” because the night they meet Elizabeth is wearing a fluffy pink bridesmaid dress. Elizabeth is a mesh of innocent and audacious, she doesn’t hesitate to sleep with Ryker hours after they meet even though she’s never had a one-night stand. The story is character-driven and the plot is mostly low angst, although we do have a troublesome villain at the end.The secondary characters were great, including Ryker’s biker mom and the MC members who were introduced. I really hope they get their own book soon (looks like Cowboy is up next!).
