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. The Biker Beauties are 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.

Holy smokes, this is so different from everything Audrey has done before. Biker Babe is hot, steamy and freaking good! I never wanted to be called someone’s “old lady” until I read this book. Rex could claim me any day…he’s one piece of biker heaven. Loved both Rex and Shay’s characters. Definitely worth waiting for this beauty!! Can’t wait for Biker Beloved!!

What a fun weekend read. Biker Babe by Audrey Carlan is a steamy read about an alpha biker trying to stake his claim. His claim may be the President’s daughter, but that does not deter him one bit.
The first scene between Rex and Shay is perfect. Not what Rex expected to run into, but the whole scene sums up the entire book. A man who takes care of his woman. And knows how to take care of her he does. Shay sure does take Rex for a ride being the MC Princess.
These two were meant to be together and no matter how her “Uncles” try to fight it, they know there is a test that Rex has to pass. This is the first time I read an MC title that is lead by the h, and I really enjoyed it. Definitely worth the read.
I’m in love with this new biker series. I can’t wait for more to come. You will love Shay and Rex. Shay maybe a biker princess but she does not let anyone push her around. Rex will make you swoon hard for him. You feel the instant love between Shay and Rex from the start. I adore Shay’s mom Mags and so will you. This book will put a smile on your face while reading. I couldn’t put this one down.
Oh boy. What’s the best thing about getting a new book? The thrill of the story. And the other thing is the genre that I absolutely love. And to top it all… It’s written by one of my favorite authors of all times. I was so excited that I couldn’t stop smiling.
Audrey Carlan has a special place in my heart. She was the first author that I had the pleasure of meeting in person and she’s a sweetheart. To top it all… Her books are to die for. Jeez. Each and every single one stole my heart…
Her writing is strong, intense, hot and so much more. Just see for yourself.
And now she has a new series. And guess what? It’s an MC series. Thank you very much… Lol
Biker Babe is her latest release and it’s the first book from the Biker Beauties series.
This new book explores the lives of Shay and Rex.
Shay is the club princess, daughter of the President of the Hero’s Pride Motorcycle Club and well known in this world. She was taught to don’t take shi… from anyone and she’s a badass.
When she opened her shop she thought that all of her dreams had come true…
Rex was given the chance to become the VP for the Hero’s Pride Motorcycle Club. An invite he took very seriously in and accepted. But…
So beautiful. So intense. So perfect. This book is stunning.
Perfect plot, super engaging, intense and super hot… Dayum… It gave me some fantastic hot flashes… Just saying.
The chemistry the main characters share is perfect and you can feel it.
It was perfect to keep seeing the loyalty, the brotherhood, the complicity each MC member share.
It was so good to witness it and their laws… Jesus…
Where did you get this info? Is amazing.
I fell in love with these characters since page one and I can’t wait for the next one.
Will we have to wait that long Audrey? I can’t… I need more…I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
There are some books, written by authors you love, where they do something a bit different, and you’re not sure what to expect when you open it up, but Audrey Carlan knocked this one out of the park. In true Carlan fashion, she took a genre, bent it to her will, and left this reader swooning over the chemistry between Rex and Shay. Biker Babe is everything I look for in an MC romance. Hotter than leather in the middle of summer, and just as wild as the roar of pipes! If I could give it ten stars, I would!
Biker Babe is breathtaking ride! It’s perfect for anyone that loves strong female lead characters, and the biker gang doesn’t hurt either. As Rex and Shay deal with a threat from her past, they must also decide whether their chemistry is risk pursuing, especially with the wrath of her biker family ready to defend her honor. This was a wonderful start to a new series by the amazing Audrey Carlan and can be read as a stand alone. This is definitely a must-read and I can’t wait for more in the series!
I really loved this book, couldn’t put it down. It was so much more than I was expecting.
Biker Babe is the story of Shay and Rex, Biker Princess and the new club VP. A couple that fall for each other at first glance, its steamy, full of chemistry, set in a motorcycle club.
I love a strong female MC and a man that falls hard, this story had both.
OHMIGOSH! I have a new favorite MC series!! Shay is such a boss babe! I loved her spunk & sassiness!! And the chemistry between her & Rex…WHOA! I couldn’t put this book down until I got to see how it ended! For my first Audry Carlan book this is a win!! I’m so in love with it!!
Biker Beauties gives us a brand new world to fall in love with from Audrey Carlan. We are in Grant’s Pass, Oregon and the bikers are riding high! Shay O’Donnell is a Biker Princess, royalty to The Heroes Pride MC and she is untouchable. She is beautiful, smart and full of sass. Growing up around all these bikers has made her who she is and that is perfection. I found a connection with Shay because she didn’t hold back and she surely spoke her mind and held her own. I love women that can stand up and be heard in the midst of all the macho, rough and tough biker!
Rex is sex on a motorbike! The minute he enters the books and lays eyes on Shay his heart is taken. He is gone and he is owned by her. That kind of devotion drives me wild and Audrey knows how to capture my heart! Together those two are sizzling hot, they make you want to have your own biker devouring you with all of that devotion!
Heroes Pride MC is special and a take on MCs that is different and special from all the rest! It takes the MC to another level. It’s unique and will captivate your attention from the get go. I for one am on this ride until the end. Bring in the Biker Beauties and their hot as Hades Bikers!!!
One hell of a ride!
It’s love at first sight for Rex Crawford, the new Vice President of the Hero’s Pride MC. The only problem? Shay’s a princess. No, not the fairy tale, kiss me and I’ll wake up, happily ever after type. She’s a biker princess and not just any pretty honey that likes bikes and leather. She’s the President’s daughter AKA Ms. Off Limits because there’s nothing more sacred than the President’s daughter. Only Rex’s two brains can’t get on the same page. He’s powerless to resist the enticing beauty and claims her as his Old Lady – without approval from her father, the club President, or the other members of the club which may as well have been her big, bad, protective older brothers. When Rex comes clean about his love for Shay, the club demands retribution. Can their love survive?

Would I recommend this book? Yes!
Would I read more from this author? Yes! Can’t wait for the next story!
This was my first MC book, so I didn’t know what to expect going in. But I love all the books that Audrey has written so far and let me tell you this one did not disappoint, it was AMAZING and HAF!!!! Loved everything about this book and can’t wait to read the rest in this series!! A MUST read!!
I really enjoyed this book. This is my first book by this author and I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series.
I love how Rex knew the second he saw Shay that she was his, He didn’t let anything stand in his way, even Shay. Rex was willing to step through fire to prove to Shay that she was it for him.
Shay doesn’t date bikers. Being the Princess of the Hero’s Pride MC has made dating difficult and dating bikers out of the question. Every brother in her Father’s club is like family to her, until Res rides in and saves the day.
I really like the way this author has written her MC and I cannot wait for Shane’s story.
I don’t even know where to begin! This book gripped me from the beginning. I felt like I couldn’t read it fast enough to know what happened next. I loved Shay and Rex’s story. The perfect relationship of a hot, sassy chick meets hot alpha man. Their chemistry was off the charts and sex scenes hot! I would definitely recommend this book! I feel Audrey did well with the MC vibe! It was like a mini movie playing in my mind as I read the words. I couldn’t get enough!
4.5 stars
Biker Babe is the first book in a new mc series and it certainly has a lot going for it.
Shay is a biker princess and a rather sassy one at that. She opens her own business and when Rex comes into the picture, needless to say things get incredibly steamy…..oh my goodness. Who else is in need of a cold shower.
Rex is new in town and when Shay catches his eye….he’s hooked. But the club has other ideas about Rex and his claim. Interesting things ahead!
Steamy, great banter and a good start to this series. Looking forward to more!
Biker Babe provides a brief escape full of instant-chemistry, instant-love, friends, family and is smoking! This first book introduces a new world of characters from the suthors imagination that we will all want to visit time and time again!
Biker Babe is a romantic novel set in Oregon. This story has strong characters, dialog is well done. The story is a quick read and full of very hot love scenes. This book makes a lot of introduction of the characters in the Hero’s Pride MC. This group’s members are all ex-military or police. They are all good guys, not criminals, but really tough.
This is the story of Shayla and Rex. Shayla is the daughter of the president of the Oregon chapter of Hero’s Pride and so is the club princess. Rex has joined the Oregon chapter after leaving his father’s club in California. He’s not happy about the direction his father is taking that club and has left and joined the Oregon chapter. He’s now the new VP.
The story begins as Shayla opens her dream, a boutique for bikers. She has all the great merchandise and the club helped her renovate the building. They meet when Rex brings his new patch to her shop to have it sown on. He sees her in the window and falls immediately in love…
She’s arguing with an ex-boyfriend she’s kicked to the curb. He keeps hounding and stalking her. Rex takes exception to the way he’s talking to Shayla and breaks his nose. She falls for him about the same way he did for her, then she finds out he’s the new VP. She thinks her dad and the guys will not approve, since she’s their princess and tries to warn him off.
Okay, that’s the set up and pretty much the gist of the story. The details are great. The plans and forthcoming events are a great start to this series.
If you like motorcycle stories, but love good guys, this is your happy place!
Loved these biker babes! 5 stars
I have only read one other MC series, and I liked it but didn’t love it. So I did not think MC books were for me. But I was wrong; it just had to be written by Audrey Carlan! I loved several of her series’, so this is why I wanted to try this book. I am so glad I did, because I loved it from the beginning! They first meeting between Shay & Rex was sizzling, and I was hooked! You have to be good with insta-attraction to insta-love because that is what they have and escalates from there, and I was definitely good with it! Shay is fiery, and I delighted in that just like Rex did! Rex is the total Alpha package, and I couldn’t get enough! I enjoyed the world building and all the characters we met, and I can’t wait to read the next novella! If you love a quick, fun, steamy read like I do, then I recommend this novella!
I received a copy of this ebook from Give Me Books for my honest review.
Couple things made me jump on this ARC:
Audrey Carlan is a new-to-me author. (I like to read at least one a month)
Short/Novellas stories so if I didn’t mesh with it it wouldn’t be a huge investment.
The promise of heat and sweet.
For my taste, the story was a lot over the top. Like unnecessarily OTT. Everything about it was over the top. By adding even just a chapter or two, the story-line could have been a bit more realistic and still stayed within the category of short/novella. I’m not going to nit-pick my way thru the plot points but this wasn’t a #win for me, however, it’s not a total loss because I’m still intrigued enough to read the next book … *shrug* we shall see how that goes.
After reading Biker Babe, I wish Audrey Carlan had wrote a biker series years ago. If you think you’re reading the same kind of MC story that’s already out there, it’s not because it’s so much better! What I love about this book is the unique twist she gave it. Plus, it’s off the charts hot! Rex and Shay have this amazing chemistry that every couple should be lucky enough to have. Rex is sexy and so loyal and protective of his biker beauty. I adore Shay’s sass and spirit, but she’s as sweet as she is fierce. The intense pull this couple has is like a fire you can’t put out!
Wait until you meet Mags! Everyone needs a Mags in there life. I always adore the supporting characters in Audrey’s stories and I have a feeling I’m about to have a lot of new favorites! I have a whole new appreciation for motorcycles or maybe it’s the hotties that ride them or both. Biker Babe is fire and intensity with never ending pride and love!
