Biker Beauties- Release Boost

Biker Beauties Volume 1 by Audrey Carlan
Release Date: December 30, 2019


BLURB

From Audrey Carlan, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series.

Biker Babe (Biker Beauties #1)

Princess. That’s what the club calls me. I’m not frilly, into pink, or expect a man to woo me with chocolates and flowers. I don’t need candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach.

I’m not the girl you take home to your parents. I like wild, fun, and good times. I’m the kind of girl you put on the back of your bike and ride through the night…in more ways than one.

I like the wind in my hair and the open road before me. I was born a biker princess and I’ll be one until the day I die. The man in my life can try to tame me, but he’ll have one hell of a fight on his hands. Though if he wins, he’ll get the ultimate prize…all of me. Devoted. His old lady through thick and thin.

So when I opened my store, aptly named Biker Babe, I didn’t expect to have the biggest, sexiest, most jaw-dropping man walk into my shop and set my world on fire. I wanted him instantly. Only problem, my father is the president of the Hero’s Pride MC, and Taggart “Rex” Crawford is his new Vice President.

Our Pride likes to live wild and ride free but everyone knows the President’s daughter is off limits.


***


Biker Beloved (Biker Beauties #2)

The day I found out I was going to be a father was the scariest, most shocking moment of my life. Worse, my brand new baby girl was dropped off in the arms of my motorcycle club, abandoned by her mother while I was fighting in Afghanistan. Of course, I did what I had to do, and returned home as soon as possible.

At this point in my life, women were the last thing on my mind. I could easily pick up one at the bar or partake of the many club girls vying for The Pride’s attention.

Then she entered my sights.

Anya Markova.

It was her eyes I noticed first. Bright blue and haunted. They spoke of a sadness I wanted nothing more than to whisk away. My first attempt at wooing her didn’t go well. Anya wasn’t the type of girl I could just pick up. She was the type I’d need to court…relentlessly.

When I found out Anya was my daughter’s much-admired ballet teacher, I knew exactly what I had to do—and I wasn’t above using my daughter’s love of her new teacher to make it happen. Because throughout my years in the club, serving my country, traveling the world, I’d never met a woman who made my soul sigh the way she did.

Now, I’d stop at nothing to make this stunning ballerina my old lady. 

The Biker Beauties is a collection of interconnected standalone novellas. They can be read out of order if desired. They are high in heat, but don’t forget the sweet.

My Review:
My Rating: 3.5 stars


Both books are very insta-lust and insta-love. While I normally don't care for those types of books I truly did enjoy these two stories.

Biker Babe is about Shay, the daughter of the president of the "Hero's Pride Motorcycle Club." Shay has always been the Princess of the club, which means she has some very overprotective extra family members. Shay just opened her own store called "Biker Babe" to help gain some independence and show her family she isn't a little girl anymore. Rex Crawford is the new VP of the Motorcycle Club after leaving his chapter in California. The first time Rex sees Shay he wants her and will do whatever it takes to get her. Rex is definitely an alpha that will have you swooning. Trying to make the princess his old lady is no easy task, but Rex will do anything have Shay. My rating for this book is 3 stars. It took me a little bit of reading to get used to the style of writing for this book, but I rarely read motorcycle books so that may be it.


Biker Beloved is about Shay's twin brother's story. Shane "Whip" is a single dad trying to provide and be the best day for his daughter. Shane works at the clubs bar when Anya walks in with her best friend and it was love at first sight, except Anya is struggling to truly live her life. Anya used to be a company ballerina until she was injured. Now she's a dance teacher who is trying to find a new normal in her life. When Shane finds out Anya is his daughter's ballet teacher and how she is with his daughter he knows she's the missing piece in their lives. Anya isn't used to biker's and their dominating attitudes and going after what they want. Anya and Shane are super cute together and I liked that Anya talked about how fast everything was moving, even though it seems to be the norm with these biker men. My rating for this book is 3.5 stars.

Fast- Excerpt and Giveaway

Excerpt:

“Everything okay?”

“Yes.” I nodded affirmatively like I was trying to convince both of us.

“All right.” He eyed me for a second, waiting expectantly. “Are you going to let us in? Looks like a combo is required.”

The door. Right. I needed to enter my code. My cheeks heating with my flustered nerves, I crossed to the keypad and entered my pin—the date that I’d found out my father wasn’t dead after all, six years ago. The keypad flashed green, and the door buzzed. I reached for the handle, but Ryan beat me, pulled it open, and held it for me.

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome, beautiful.”

I ducked my head to hide my smile. I realized it was probably a nickname he used with every girl, but I still felt a zing every time he called me beautiful.

I got a few feet into the entryway when I realized he hadn’t followed me. Turning, I found him still in the doorway, holding the door open. “Aren’t you coming?”

He lifted a shoulder. “Do you still want me to come inside with you?”

I took a deep breath and nodded.

“You don’t look sure. There’s nothing wrong with changing your mind.”

“No, I want you to come up with me. It’s just…” I trailed off, not sure how to finish that sentence or how much of myself I wanted to reveal to him.

Ryan leaned against the open door. “It’s just what?”

In for a penny… “I’ve never done this before.”

“You’ve never had a guy inside your building?” Ryan tilted his head as a devilish spark gleamed in his eyes.

“I’ve-never-had-a-one-night-stand-before.” I rushed it out in one breath, unable to look at him. An awkward silence buzzed between us. I hadn’t heard the door close but I was afraid to look. Instead, I crossed the lobby to the elevator. I felt so stupid. Why did I say that? I should’ve come up with something cleverer, but no, I just blurted out my total lack of experience like someone without any social skills. Mortified, I stabbed at the elevator call button.

The elevator pinged immediately and the doors slid open. I didn’t even bother looking behind me. He was probably halfway back to the clubhouse by now.

“Uh, who said we were gonna have sex?”

I swung around and looked at him incredulously. “Why are you here then?”

“You said you wanted to talk somewhere quieter.” Ryan leaned against the wall and hooked his thumbs in his front jeans pockets.

The elevator doors slid shut with us still standing in front of it.

“So, you’re just here to talk? Are you serious? What about all those kisses and the crazy sexual tension that’s been buzzing between us?” I almost pointed out the hard-on he’d walked two blocks with, but thank God my social skills weren’t that bad.

“Don’t get me wrong, I was hoping for more, but given how hesitant you are, I thought that was off the table.”

I didn’t even know what to say to him. It was mortifying to know I’d been that transparent. So much for my newly acquired badass skills. “You’re happy to come upstairs and just talk to me? Really?”

“Really. I am hoping I’ll get another kiss or two, but I know even that’s not guaranteed. You’re the one in charge here, Hope. What happens between us is entirely up to you because I think I’ve made my stance pretty clear. But in case you need another reminder—” He slipped a hand behind my head and bent toward me. His lips hovered over mine, questioning.

And I couldn’t resist. I closed the distance and kissed him with everything I had. I wanted this man. After a beat, he took over and kissed me in that amazing, toe curling way that only Ryan was capable of.

I groaned into his mouth and swayed toward him, wrapping my arms around his muscular body. Oh my God. Yes.

Yes.

I was totally doing this.

One night stand with a bad boy? Check.

Burns Brothers #1


Synopsis:

Welcome to Bad@ss Builds where the motorcycles are as sexy as the brothers building them.

Austin Burns:

I thought she wasn’t real the first time I saw her. To be fair I was a hungover mess when I woke up and looked into her gorgeous eyes. After getting the second worst news of my life — that my father would be paroled soon — I’d escaped to my buddy’s posh cabin near Lake Tahoe. Now the maid with the gorgeous eyes is snowed in with me, and I wonder if she might be a better distraction than the mountain of booze I’d planned on drinking. She’s curvy in all the right places, and the snow is falling faster.

Rachel Tannenbaum:

As a single mom, I don’t have time for men, especially irresponsible tattooed bad boys like my ex. But Austin is hot. And sexy. And stuck here in the cabin with me. I can’t say no to a fling with this bad boy, especially since Austin is so gorgeous and awkwardly sweet.

One night becomes two, and I don’t know if I can risk my heart — and my little boy’s — if Austin wants it to become more when we get through the snow and back to reality.

My Review:
My Rating: 3 stars


Austin works at a garage with his brothers and as the oldest brother has had a lot of responsibility thrown on him. He gets some bad news and decides to go to one of his friend's cabin and figure out what to do with the news. Enter Rachel, a single mom who cleans houses as one of her jobs. A huge storm blows in leaving them trapped together in a cabin until they can get plowed out. What happens when the chemistry is off the charts? This was a cute story, but at times I grew frustrated with both the lead characters. I loved seeing the relationship Austin has with his brothers and how close Rachel and her mom and son were. I thought the sex scenes weren't over the top but the way Rachel and Austin both acted drove me up the wall. I will say even though they frustrated me, this story felt real. It wasn't a fairy tale and it showed what hard work goes into relationships.

Family means everything to this tattooed bad boy—good thing since he’s about to start his own.

I wanted her the first time I laid eyes on her. But what starts as a fun time, quickly gets serious when the stick turns pink a month later. My life is already chaos with my recently paroled father popping up and the usual drama at the family business building custom motorcycles. Plus our reality show just got picked up for a full season.

But it really hits the fan when I discover that the new woman in my life is the daughter of the President of the West Coast Kings, the baddest motorcycle club in Sacramento—and our biggest client. Think he’ll like being called Grandpa?

Life just got hella complicated.
