In
this first of New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ryan’s new
series, The Dark Horse Dive Bar, sassy singer-songwriter Lyric Wilde matches
wits with FBI Special Agent Mason Gunn. And when her obsessed fan and Mason’s
most wanted criminal targets her, he’s the only man capable of protecting her.
Welcome to the Dark Horse Dive Bar, where the Wildes throw one hell of a
party and love could be a barstool away!
When Lyric Wilde’s not whipping up the best food in town at the Dark Horse Dive
Bar, she’s making a name for herself as a rising singer-songwriter. And if any
of her online followers cross the line from friendly to fanatical, well, Lyric
figures it goes with the territory—and she can take care of herself. But
there’s one fan she wants to get to know better—a silent, sexy biker named
Viper. A man who makes her think mine every time she looks at him. But
who exactly is “Viper?”
Undercover FBI special agent Mason Gunn has been hiding in plain sight and
alone for far too long. And while he fantasizes about a peaceful life with
beautiful Lyric by his side, he knows that until his mission—to take down a
murder-for-hire network—is accomplished, his dark world is no place for her.
But when frightening encounters and threatening text messages from a stalker
bent on keeping Lyric all to himself and his most wanted criminal target his
sultry songbird, he will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves…

This is the first book in a new series – and I am definitely adding this to my
look out for list, because I really enjoyed it! There is a good amount of world
building, which has ensured that I need to know what happens to the rest of the
Wilde siblings!
As the reader, we know pretty much immediately what Viper is, so the tension is
lessened in one way and seriously heightened in another – which is a really
effective tactic in this novel as the plot unfolds. I love how we get to
understand the depths of frustration and psychological damage that Mason's role
has on him, and we also get to see his desires for a new and fulfilled life.
Lyric is a talented songstress, but her life is with her family, and that suits
her just fine. She enjoys cooking up a storm in the kitchen of the family bar,
and then indulges her love of singing on the stage there too. She has such
chemistry with Viper, but he is a man who holds himself back. She is more than
grateful when he intercedes with an overly familiar (obsessed) fan. Rick is
really the kind of character that you both love to hate and also pity – he is a
stark reminder of how someone can spin a whole new reality in their head and
how they damage their target.
I really enjoyed getting to know everyone and am looking forward to the next
installment already.
