There’s a legend amongst members of the Wicked Throttle MC. Something that’s rooted deep into their DNA. None of the younger generation believes it, that is, until the first one falls. Once a soul finds its other half, there is no going back. Only one option; Love and claim at first sight.Who would have thought that getting found in a compromising position would lead to the white picket fence … fence dream? Not Corban, that’s for sure. But he doesn’t have to think twice before he embraces his future as he experiences first-hand that the Wicked Throttle legend is undeniable.
In a town where lives crisscross and information flows, it won’t take long for danger to come crawling to the surface. Stepping up for what’s right is rooted deep into a man’s heart but for the right woman, a Wicked Throttle biker will move heaven and earth to protect what’s his.
Lust tangles with love and sparks a deep connection, but will it be enough to go up against everything life throws in the way? Or will everything fall apart? Dive into the lives of the members of Wicked Throttle MC and see how they let love ride their hearts.
Corban can be read as a HEA standalone but does have a cliffhanger involving the next character (book one in this series). For a greater reading experience, recommended reading order:
“Corban” Wicked Throttle MC #0.5
“Zerox” Wicked Throttle MC #1
“Barlow” Wicked Throttle MC #2
“Quill” Wicked Throttle MC #3

Corban is the Vice President of the Wicked Throttle MC (also best friends with Xerox, the President of the MC; known each other since adolescence) meets his woman, Maud, when he’s trying to rescue a puppy and gets his hand stuck in the process, lol. In comes our heroine, Maud, who’s full of sass yet somewhat innocent. Sparks fly between these two especially as they both decide to be mommy and daddy to their rescued puppy, who Corban named Elmo, lol.
Corban knew the moment he was a goner for Maud, and declared her his to his MC and to her. He wasn’t going to let her go and made her his old lady, which was rare because the new generation of Wicked Throttle MC didn’t have any old ladies, only other old timers had one and the ones who lost them, never loved another woman. It’s like a myth in this MC: “WICKED THROTTLE IS BASICALLY KNOWN FOUR OUR CLAIMS AND ALL OF US ARE AWARE OF THAT FACT. WELL… IF YOU WANT TO BELIEVE THE FEW SILVER MEMBERS THAT HANG AROUND THE CLUBHOUSE. SOME STILL HAVE THEIR OLD LADY AND SOME HAVE PASSED AWAY, LEAVING THEM TO LIVE THE REST OF THEIR LIVES ALONE. A WICKED THROTTLE HEART CONNECTS ONLY ONCE, AND BEATS SOLELY FOR THAT WOMAN.” Many of the new generation don’t believe in this but maybe they’ll start to after seeing their VP, Corban fall head over heels in love with his Maud
There’s trouble brewing already and next up will be Maci and Xerox’s story, which involves Nero’s nefarious intents towards Maci, her younger brothers and the MC. Hope, we get to see Maud be pregnant in this one because Corban was itching to start on their own family and get his woman knocked up 🙂

I actually read this as part of the anthology, but it was so good that I wanted to add a separate review. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the first of this MC to fall and boy did he fall! I am never let down by any of Esther E Schmidt’s books, they always deliver everything I want in a great story that keeps me reading and always wanting the next book before she can finish them. Whether you buy the anthology or buy this on its own you will not feel it is wasted time, I did enjoy the other books in the set and a few stood out but I must say this was my favourite of all of them.
Quick, fast paced, loving, humorous story. Corbin and Maud have amazing chemistry. This book maybe short but it pulled me in and held my interest. Esther Schmidt just gained another fan.
Corban is a Good Start
CORBAN is a prequel to the Wicked Throttle MC series….This is Esther E. Schmidt’s wheelhouse…
Corban is the VP of the Wicked Throttle MC, and when Maud, a local business owner, “rescues” him, he has a love at first sight moment…and Maud is totally onboard…Corban and Maud are a cute couple…and their story is good…
Oh. My! It looks like the legend could be true! When Corban meets Maud whilst trying to rescue a puppy, their connection is instant. Corban is not holding back!
Super hot read that goes from 0-60 in seconds, I could not put this down. This is another series by this author that I need to catch up on!!
Corban is stuck, stuck with his arm in the sewer grate trying to rescue a puppy. When he hears a woman’s voice behind him, he knows that this moment will be etched in his mind forever. Once he lays eyes on the owner of that voice, stick a fork in him as he is done. Maud is everything he could ever want or hope to have in his life. The more time he spends with her, the more sure he is that she is perfect. Will she accept his MC and make a place for herself in his life and his bed? I absolutely adored Corban and Maud! This couple is the embodiment of soul mates! They are so good together and Maud kicks butt! She takes no crap and lays all her cards on the table. I cannot wait to read more about the Wicked Throttle boys!

Quick, fun insta-love between Corban & Maud, and there’s an adorable puppy named Elmo, too! It starts off w/ some LOL moments & there’s a serious side, too. It’s a good introduction to the series, I think. I’m not a fan of the graphic descriptions of what’s going on w/ the club ho’s, but that was really the only downside to the story for me. I enjoyed the characters & the banter & the sexy times between H & h were well done. : )
** spoiler alert ** Corban is dedicated to his mother and his MC. The instant he sees Maude everything changes. Will Corban be ready to settle down? Will Maude accept everything he respresents?
Loved how both of these characters were determined to help those around them. Loved how Maude could have been a nightmare, but proceeded to look past what was happening and try to find the deeper reason. Loved how Corban was a big softy for their puppy and his Old Lady! Great read!
Corban is a hoot. Remember reading this in Nuts About You. “When I locked my gaze with those bright eyes filled with fear, I didn’t think twice and shoved my arm in there. ” Yes he’s looking at a dog, but considering how dirty it was, hard to tell what kind. So here u have a bid bad bike trying to save it and see a pair of biker boots belonging to Maude. And the story begins. Great start to this series Esther, can’t wait for Zerox, not he’s going to be a bad ???.
This book was awesome I found myself lol at the start of this book. It was refreshing to be honest to have a dialogue of what men do be thinking and the back and forth arguing and no other words for it but banter they have with them selves when in a certain situations. But it’s not all funny there are some quite sweet and hot moments between the two main characters. Corban is a hot alpha biker who goes after what he wants and won’t stop till he gets it. He also happens to have a sweet side. Then theirs the heroine Maud I loved the fact that she is a serious badass who doesn’t need a man to treat or look at her as a damsel in distress. This was definitely a great start to a new series from Esther. Looking forward to more from the Wicked Throttle MC series.
This is a great start to a promising series. A quick read, a teaser, to a series I’ll certainly want to read.
Corban is a member of the Wicked Throttle MC. When Corban meets Maud he knows she is the woman for him, the woman he wants to marry.
I thought this was a lovely fast paced read. I read in one sitting. Loved it. Looking forward to reading more in this series.
I have really enjoyed reading Esther’s books. She makes them so real and life like. Thank you Esther for sharing your MC world with us! I can’t wait to read more. You will need a fire extinguisher! This story is hot stuff!
Corbin is unsure what to do when he finds a stray.
Maud is successful and wants nothing to do with the man trying to rescue a stray puppy in front of her story.
Can the lengends of the older generation be true? Will there only be one woman for Corbin in an MC club?
Esther E, Schmidt’s Cordan. I loved it. a great start to a new series.
yet another amazing read by Esther E. Schmidt.
This author knows how to suck you in and keep you hooked. Cannot wait to see what the Wicked Throttle Series brings in the future 🙂
