Biker Tales by Jenna Byrnes

I am not a Motorcycle Mama, although I have had a couple riding experiences that always remain in my memory. In my high school days I had a boyfriend with a Yamaha 100 (technically considered a motorcycle.) It zipped around pretty quickly with one person on it but when both of us rode it, the poor thing had to work a little harder. One day riding with a group of people on dirt trails we tried to ascend a small hill and ended up sliding down the whole way. Fortunately the only thing injured was our pride. The motorcycle didn’t stick around long, but then neither did the boyfriend.

Years later my handsome and normally smart husband purchased a Kawasaki 550 with the idea of saving gas going to and from work. He also thought that he and I could take trips on it, adventurous journeys to the mountains or the ocean or wherever we wanted to go. Our first jaunt was to visit a friend approximately three hours away for the weekend. The roads were good and we were headed someplace familiar so we wouldn’t run the risk of getting lost. What we didn’t count on was the weather. Halfway there it started to rain. Not a light sprinkle, but a downpour. We pulled off the road to wait it out under a large tree. There was a house nearby and the owner hollered at us to come inside and warm up.

The man and his wife had a whole parcel of children and a large pot of mashed potatoes on the stove for dinner. They invited us to stay and eat with them, and told us if we wanted to take off our clothes they’d get dry faster. Thankfully the rain was letting up, so we offered a quick ‘thanks but no thanks’ and got the heck out of there. We made it to our friend’s house without further issue, besides sore butts.

The trip home was equally as adventurous but in another way. Wanting to spend every minute possible with our friend, we stayed late and drove home in the dark. What we didn’t count on that time was the fog, which made visibility zero. We drove slowly following the white line on the side of the road but had to stop every time there was an intersection because the line ended. If a car passed us we’d try to keep up for a while. Then we’d go back to following the line. We were frozen and very tired when we pulled into a truck stop for breakfast probably six hours later, and we still had an hour to drive before we’d reach home. That was our first and last motorcycle adventure.

My husband kept the bike to get to and from work until we started our family, and then he needed something that would hold a car seat. He really hated selling that bike. Me, not so much. It made for some good stories though.

Mantrap by L.M. Somerton

Not all cages have bars.

The Wyverns Motorcycle Club has a reputation as fierce as its dragon emblem. Its enigmatic leader, Rogue Hellaby, has a police file so thick you could prop up a table with it.

When Rogue receives an instruction to kidnap and hold hostage the son of a powerful drug lord, he doesn’t bat an eyelid. But Rogue has never had to deal with a captive like Orlando de la Pena. Orlando is furious—not because he’s being held prisoner, but because he’s prevented from partying at his favorite BDSM club. Rogue discovers that the only way to deal with Orlando is to become the Dom he so obviously needs. But Orlando’s father wants him back, and The Wyverns must face a battle that could cost them their lives.

Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of light BDSM.

 

Biking Bad by Morticia Knight

When Dylan, a young wannabe investigator, stumbles into the Mojave Sidewinder’s MC bar, he finds all kinds of trouble—especially in biker Luc ‘Zero’ Villarojas.

The Mojave Sidewinders is the largest gay MC club in Southern California. They’re also one-percenters, which makes them alluring to those looking for trouble and a danger to those making it. Luc ‘Zero’ Villarojas has been a brother ever since the club’s prez took him in as a runaway. At thirty-four years of age, he’s content to ride his hog, chase tail and run his tattoo and piercing parlor, Zero to Sixty.

Working his first big case involving a missing young man, Dylan barges into Road Rage, the Mojave Sidewinder’s exclusive bar, and starts asking questions. When it looks as though he’s about to get beaten up, a large, muscled biker covered in ink comes to his aid. Dylan’s incredibly attracted to him—even if Zero is pretty scary and Dylan’s still a virgin. But is there something Zero knows about the missing man that he’s hiding? And is Dylan in more danger than he realises?
