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 … 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 in 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’ll 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.

BIKER BABE
I don’t normally read MC romance, but I think Audrey has changed my mind. This book was a quick, fun, sexy read. Shay and Rex’s chemistry was fire from the start. I also enjoyed getting to know all of the biker family. If you’re looking for a quick spicy read this is the book for you.
BIKER BELOVED
I was hooked from the first chapter. If I could give more than 5 I would. Single dad tropes are one of my favorite I could feel Shane’s love for Anya the moment he set his sights on her. This was sweet yet steamy! I’m enjoying this series a lot and am looking forward to Biker Brit.
If you want hot and steamy, this volume of Biker Babe and Biker Beloved is the way to go!
It’s full of love, heat, finding yourself and to chose your life for yourself, and not let ting anything stop you. And the most important of all, family!
Get this, you will love it!
Wow, I absolutely loved this volume 1 set. I couldn’t put it down once started. I fell in love with both couples.
This set has two books in.
Biker babe:
I really enjoyed this book, and all the characters.
I loved Shay and Rex together. They had love and lust at first sight. Rex will do anything even face his brothers to be what Shay deserves.
Biker beloved:
Another amazing story. I fell in love with this couple.
I loved Whip and Anya together, they may of had to jump obstacles in Anyas way. But you could see the love.
I loved Anya and Shayna together. You could tell Anya really cared for her.
I can’t wait for more.
Two beautiful insta-love stories in the one book, just my type of read. Once I started reading I couldn’t stop.
Both stories are set around a motorcycle club and the adult children of the clubs president, Riot.
I love a good love story and these were perfect, had all the essential elements. Girl meets boy, girl rejects boy, boy wins over girl, they fall for each other hard and fast and live happily ever after. Ever better when you add the hotness of Alpha males and strong women.
Biker Babe
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!
Biker Beloved
These bikers were a delight! 5 stars
I loved the instant-attraction between Shane (aka Whip) and Anya! Anya walked into Shane’s bar with her best friend for a night out and was immediately attracted to Shane. But she was not confident enough at the time to do anything about it. But Shane was ready to woo! I have read the first Biker Beauty novella with Shane as a side character, and I was not sure about him. Turns out Shane is a perfect Alpha biker: confident and protective. He was protective of his daughter who takes ballet class from Anya. Anya’s whole life was dedicated to ballet until now, so she never got to really live a full life because of her regimented routine and mother. Shane made her feel free and gave her a second chance at having a life, and I was so happy for her. Shane also got a second chance at a happy life after drama with the mother of his child, and I delighted in that. This novella was a delight to read with instant attraction turning to instant love between two people who deserved a happy ending!
I received a copy of this ebook from Give Me Books for my honest review.
Biker Babe and Biker Beloved were so great. Shay and Rex were made for each other and I loved their strong story. Anya is dealing with a pain that will never end but when Shane comes into his life with his beautiful daughter she knows her priorities need to shift. This too was a story I loved. I highly recommend these books and I can’t wait for more.
Rex and Shay are part of the same MC but Shay is the President’s daughter and totally off limits. The chemistry between this couple is hot and intense. A great story with a sweet ending.
Shane is a military man and part of the MC. He finds out he’s a single dad when his daughter Shayna is dropped off at the MC compound and abandoned by her mother. Anya is a ballerina teacher and ends up being Shayna’s teacher. Shane and Anya have steamy chemistry but are from different worlds. Shane will melt your heart and your panties with his devotion, loyalty and alpha male tendencies.
It’s safe to say that after reading Biker Beauties Volume 1, Audrey Carlan and I are going to have a long and beautiful relationship. I absolutely loved both of the novella length stories in it. Biker Babe and Biker Beloved both feature strong, sexy, alpha AF men who do not hesitate to claim their old ladies regardless of the consequences. The heroines are strong, independent females who fall hard for their biker men. Both these MC Romances are high on the instalove/instalust goodness and the happily ever afters are deliciously sexy and sweet. TBR this fantastic collection and enjoy. (I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.)
Each standalone book gives us a deeper view of this self made family who love, protect and champion the people they have taken in and love without measure.
If you need a quick and smoking hot escape from the real world, read this series!!
Biker Babe:
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.
Biker Beloved:
#RealTalk: This story was way better in the OTT department than Biker Babe. Don’t get me wrong, we went fast and furious with this one as well, but it was better, for me. I didn’t feel like I was reading a story full of shock value. So, props for that to the author!
The story of Shane and Anya pulled all the #feels from me. Maybe it was mood at the time lol who knows, but I believed in their insta-attraction from the start. I enjoyed the dynamics of the story. It’s a quick read, just like Biker Babe, but I didn’t find it lacking. I wasn’t a huge fan of the fist book in this series, but I’m actually coming around and I’m looking forward to reading more 🙂
Sidenote: There’s nothing in this book or its predecessor to categorize it as an MC romance. The stories happen to be about people who happen to belong to a motorcycle club, but their stories/journeys have really nothing to do with the club itself. And, I’m only stating this because I’ve seen too many reviews calling this an MC romance series and that’s not entirely factual.
A new MC series? Yes please, sign me up! It’s one of my favorite genres so I’m sure I’ll read it.
BIKER BABE is book one and it tells the story about Shey and Rex.She is the biker princess, he’s the New VP. Everyone at the club knows she’s off limits, but that’s not gonna stop Rex. When he wants something, he takes it. Their insta lust/love breaks the rules of the club. Rex has to face the consequences.. This book is a quick, hot AF read.
Although the story is short, I fell in love with characters. Not only with the main ones but also with the other members of the club. A great start to the new book series.
BIKER BELOVED (book #2) tells Anya and Shane’s story. I have to be honest, this book is better than the last one. There’s something amazing about a guy from a motorcycle club who’s also a loving, caring father. Add to that a quiet, modest ballet teacher and we have a recipe for the perfect couple. This book is a well written story about two people who get a second chance to live a happy life thanks to meeting each other. I truly love these characters and can’t wait to read the next book.
*Biker Babe-
Shay O’Donnell is a princess, born and bred. She isn’t your typical princess though, her father is the reigning president of the Hero’s Pride Motorcycle Club. She’s biker royalty and she’s off-limits. When Taggart “Rex” Crawford, the new Vice President of The Pride and her father’s second-in-command, walks in her strict no-dating-bikers rule walks out. Rex and Shay fall for each other hard and fast and soon discover that when it comes to one another they’re more than willing to go to any lengths to protect what’s theirs. Even if it means facing her father, her brother and the brothers of their MC.
As a novella goes, it was short and sweet. Their love story was a fun one to race through. The only aspect of this story that didn’t really work for me was the feeling that some of the interactions felt forced as if parts of narration didn’t flow well together. I would have loved to have read more of their love story and look forward to checking out the next in this series. 4/5 stars; I’d recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick read with a sweet biker insta-love, insta-lust story woven in.
*Biker Beloved-
Hot damn! This book is on fire! I enjoyed the first novella in this series, Biker Babe, but I loved loved loved Biker Beloved! Maybe it’s the whole single biker dad thing. Maybe. Either way, it is not one to be missed! Audrey Carlan has seemingly, effortlessly thrown together the perfect combination of rough and tough with dainty and sweet! Sure, it’s insta-love and insta-lust, maybe not too real-wordly, but boy does it make for a delicious read!
What I think I enjoyed most was the fact that it wasn’t all about the sex, sure it was in there, and it was damn good, but the storyline behind it was seriously great. This novella’s fast pace and the love that is shown between father Shane and daughter Shayna, the little MC princess, makes this one to be savored. Along with that, love is the genuine pride shown between Shayna and the club. The Hero’s Pride MC is truly a family of their own. The relationship between the ballet instructor Anya and the little MC princess Shayna was the perfect embodiment of adoration, sweet and perfect alongside the heat between Shane and Anya! Not only do we get to experience Anya’s growth and acceptance into the MC world, the adversities Shane and Anya must overcome, we’re also gifted with glimpses into Shay and Rex’s continual progression. With any series, cameos are much appreciated, and Biker Beloved was no exception! Revisiting Shay and Rex was delightfully sweet when paired with the sassiness of Mags and the loving protectiveness of Riot.
Biker Beloved was an easy five-star rating, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a quick read with a sweet biker insta-love, insta-lust story woven in. “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.” – Audrey Carlan.

Biker Babe
Audrey Carlan took Biker Beauties to a whole new level and this new series is incredible and your going to need to turn up the AC because it’s definitely getting steamy in here! 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 their 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!
Biker Beloved
Audrey Carlan wrote one of my favorite tropes…single dad! I may have screamed like I won the lotto! Which I basically did because this book is downright fantastic! Shane and Anya had me totally obsessed with them from beginning to end. Shane’s precious daughter, Shayna, stole my heart and I wish she was my little girl. Her joy and light are infectious and I absolutely love how cherished Anya made her feel. They formed this unbreakable bond and it was beautiful to watch.
How Shane is with his daughter will make you swoon and want to give him tons of babies. He is sexy, sweet, and military freakin hot – the total package. The way Shane encourages Anya to love herself and live life to the fullest will make your heart burst with joy and admiration.
The transformation that Anya goes through will really resonate with readers because we all feel like we aren’t good enough or failed ourselves or our parents at some point in our life. Audrey Carlan should have wrote a biker series years ago because this story will leave you breathless and ready to pounce in more ways than one because it is mesmerizing and forest fire hot!!!

I want to be a part of the Hero’s Pride MC! Wendy for Janise’s Jivin’ Book Blog
This is such a fun series so far. The guys in the MC are tough as nails but absolutely kind and caring for the ones they consider family. I love that all the members have or are currently serving our country in some way. They might ride the questionable side of the law but are all honorable men. This is a quick easy read. I love the characters and getting to know them all a little better with each novella. Audrey always writes books with so much emotion and Biker Beauties doesn’t disappoint. Can’t wait for the next installment.
Nous retrouvons l’univers des bikers avec un tome cette fois ci consacré à Shane, le frère jumeau de Shay. Nous retrouverons aussi les parents de nos deux héros mais Rex. Grâce à Anya, nous découvrons d’autres aspects de la vie de ce club de biker et la présence de Shayna apportera aussi un peu de douceur dans ce monde de brutes.
Shane était engagé en Afghanistan quand il a dû renoncer à son rêve pour devenir un père. En effet, Jess a joué un mauvais tour au jeune homme mais heureusement il pourra compter sur sa famille pour prendre soin de la chair de sa chair. Shane est un papa hyper protecteur qui saura parfaitement s’occuper de sa fille de 4 ans qui a une place de choix dans sa vie et dans son coeur. Il travaille au bar et ne trempe donc pas dans des affaires illégales. Quand il aperçoit cet ange blond, il ne cherche pas à connaître de suite son identité car il sait qu’il va tout mettre en oeuvre pour faire d’elle sa régulière. Il a le modèle de ses parents devant les yeux , qui ne cessent de s’aimer comme au premier jour, mais aussi de sa soeur qui vit avec Rex une superbe histoire d’amour et même s’il peut paraître très insistant, il ne mettra jamais en mauvaise position Anya.
Shane va donc la séduire petit à petit mais lui faire aussi découvrir son monde avec ses règles et son langage. Comme je le disais la petite Shayna est le rayon de soleil de cette histoire car elle est très talentueuse mais aussi elle sait respecter les règles que l’éducation de son père exige . Cette même rigueur, elle l’applique dans l’apprentissage de la danse classique et j’ai aussi ri lors d’une certains scène avec un autre danseur. Cela promet quand elle aura l’âge de draguer et d’être dragué. Il est donc prêt à tout pour la protéger du monde extérieur et il mettra cette même énergie et cette même force à séduire Anya. Cette dernière ne comprend pas qu’un tel homme puisse tomber sous son charme et on le comprendra quand on découvrira son passé et son vécu.
Anya Markova aurait pu être une danseuse étoile étincelante mais tous ses sacrifices ont été réduits à néant lors d’un accident qui mettra abruptement fin à sa carrière. Heureusement , elle pourra compter sur sa meilleure amie Holly , pour la pousser dans ses retranchements et pour l’obliger à vivre sa vie tout simplement. Elle adorait son père mais les relations avec sa mère ont été plus tendues dans le sens où cette dernière a projeté sur sa fille des rêves incroyables mais en faisant cela , elle lui a imposé une pression supplémentaire. Elle n’a connu que la déception dans les yeux de sa mère et Anya a donc une image assez négative d’elle même. La douleur est toujours présente mais pourtant , elle est une excellente professeur de danse qui fait preuve d’une patience d’ange et qui sait pousser de manière réfléchie ses élèves. Elle voit en Shayna un petit prodige et quand elle va entrer dans la vie de la jeune fille et de son père, elle ira de découverte en découverte.
Bref, une nouvelle novella qui peut parfaitement se lire de manière indépendante mais qui nous permet de découvrir un nouveau membre de la famille O’Donnell. Audrey Carlan nous offre l’histoire de deux personnages diamétralement opposés qui pourraient s’aimer au premier regard. La rencontre de Shane et Anya c’est l’explosion de deux univers , de deux planètes qui pourraient se mettre en orbite pour ne jamais se quitter.
If I had any doubts about there being insta-love they are all gone thanks to Audrey Carlan! Debra @ Janise’s Jivin’ Book Blog
Biker Babe: Book 1
It is an insta-love story that gives you everything you could want inside the pages. Even though it was instant love for our leading characters doesn’t mean it was all that easy. Some things had to be gone through to actually get their happily ever after! Our supporting characters are tough, loving and a whole lot of fun. Some are kind of intense and make you wonder what their story is. Rex leaves no doubt that “Princess” is worth everything and that she is his queen in every way.
Biker Beloved: Book 2
I had no idea how much I would love this story so instantly. It is filled with such an intense story so different from the first. It is beautiful, sad, wonderful and down right fireworks igniting!
We have two paths that end up crossing before they even know they will finally come together.
Anya comes from a strict and complicated past. Shane has also had some issues in his past. Together though they bring out the best qualities in each other.
Our MC group is still as strong as ever and embrace Anya and Shanes wanting her for his old lady. I love the Hero’s Pride MC!
The whole story has of course a few surprises and of course a lot of love!
Enjoyable MC romances. This is Vol 1 containing Biker Babe and Biker Beloved.
Biker Babe: This was more novella than full novel, but it was a quick and somewhat fun read. I liked the premise – forbidden love is almost always a winner – and the characters were all interesting. It was my first from this author, and I’m reserving judgement until I read at least one more story because everyone has off days when reading; but this one fell a little flat for me. Everything feels super exaggerated, right from the start. Being plunked down into a story is one thing, but the reactions, dialogue, everything just felt over-acted. It was engaging and steamy, but I was left needing a bit more story and a bit less drama.
Biker Beloved: This couple was honestly more my speed than the first in the series. Anya and Shane are a sweetly perfect match, two broken souls finding themselves in one another. The complication with a surprise baby (not in the usual way, btw) and the background of the MC family was great setting. Everything is still a bit over-acted, but an enjoyable evening read.
Biker Beauties, Vol 1 is made up of two Outstanding MC novellas. I fell in love with this club from the very start. The men are strong alpha’s and the women are truly KickA$$.
Book one is Biker Babes is a fast paced novella about the “club princess” and the man who wants to claim her. Which as most MC readers know claiming a Club Princess is no easy feat. He not only has to get the girl, he’s got to prove to his prez and the entire club he’s “good enough”. In this case proving to the club he’s good enough, just might be easier than winning the heart of the independent sassy, Club Princess, Shay. This is a great start to the series and sets the tone for more books to come.
Biker Beloved is book 2: What a fantastic storyline. This is Whip’s story. He is Shay’s brother/the Prez’s son. Whip had every intention of making a career with special ops. But shortly before his first tour is done, he learns he’s a father. So whip doesn’t re-up but insteads throws his life into the club and his daughter, which has become his world. But when a blue eyed beauty walks into the bar, his heart does a flip flop. Sadly Anya gets away before he finds out who she is. Imagine his surprise when Anya turns out to be his daughter’s ballet teacher.
These two novellas are fun and exciting reads that you don’t want to miss out on. This reader is anxiously awaiting Vol. 2 of Biker Beauties. I highly recommend grabbing up Vol 1, you won’t be sorry you did. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars.
Burning up on all Cylinders Mandy @ Janise’s iIvin’ Book Blog
Burning is what i am right now, I absolutely love the Biker Beauties series that Audrey Carlan has written. I love how she has portrayed the biker community and the Old Ladies to be fierce women who stand not behind their men but with them thru everything. I can’t wait for the next installment of this series.
Biker beloved tells Whips and Anya’s Story and how the struggling single dad finally meets the woman he is willing to BURN for. (I think we all need a man like that). The way that they are so in love with one another from the get go is one for the fairy tale world.
Biker Babe is the first one in the series and tells of VP Rex and how he found his MC queen and will do all that it takes to finally Make her his forever. The way he Claimed her is astonishing their love will last a lifetime and beyond
