She had a strict upbringing. He was in a motorcycle club. It wasn’t enough to keep them apart.Dex Mitchell was the heir to a billionaire manufacturing empire, but to step up to his rightful place in the business, he would have to embrace a relationship with the father who abandoned him…and that would never happen. Brought up in an ultra-conservative home, Tirzah Olsson lived a sheltered life. Her … ultra-conservative home, Tirzah Olsson lived a sheltered life. Her parents had one goal: marry her off to a respectable man from their church, but Tirzah longed for real love and the freedom to make her own decisions.
When her soon-to-be-fiancé left her in a perilous situation, Dex Mitchell rode up on a Harley like a fierce hero, saving her from a near-assault. Once she climbed on the back of his bike, everything shifted for both of them.
Neither of them knew how to resist the pull they felt, but they were from two different worlds. It would never work.
Or so they said…
Good thing Dex, wasn’t a stranger to taking risks…

A amazing book about a biker and the girl he falls for.
It has romance and has wonderful characters that will keep you reading to the end.
Blind Date with a Billionaire Biker is an unexpected and different book. Tirzah (Tizzy) was trying to rebel against her ultra orthodox religious parents and their arranged marriage for her when fate stepped in. Sent away for her own protection, Tizzy enters a world she was not prepared for. Dex is gorgeous and unexpected whilst Tank, aka Grandpa, is an absolute delight. This is a book with a strong Christian theme which may not be to everyone’s taste. It does however have a good storyline with some great characters .. and some not so nice.
Starting out our main characters seems to be opposites – so much so there would be no middle ground.
Tirzah Olsson was raised in an ultra-conservative community. Her family, friends, their church was all ultra-conservative. She is very sheltered and was raised to obey her parents, and she almost always did so. Well, actually, she always did. Even though she really, really did not want to marry Peter she was going to do it. He was also following his parents’ dictates.
Dex Mitchell could not be thought of as conservative. He was raised by a single (but loving) mother, was in a motorcycle club, and wanted nothing to do with his father who had a manufacturing empire worth billions.
But there was a fundamental principle they both held dear; their belief in God.
Tirzah reluctantly went on a dinner date with Peter knowing that he was going to propose. He insisted they go to the restaurant where he made reservations even though they would have to walk past belligerent picketers. There was serious trouble between the police and protesters. Tirzah turned to comment to Peter only to see him running back the way they came. Abandoned Tirzah is accosted. Dex had ridden up to the plant and notices Tirzah being dragged down the street. He saves her. Peter shows back up and she reluctantly calls him boyfriend but Peter corrects her with “Fiancé”.
Three years later Tirzah is twenty-one now and not married to Peter – one little act of rebellion. Because of stupidity on her father’s part Tirzah is in danger and is sent to her grandfather – the one she did not know about. Carl.
Carl’s, aka Tank, MC club founded Riders for Christ to reach out to those who would never enter a church but just might talk a fellow biker. Dex was a member of Riders for Christ. When Dex sees Tirzah his mind goes back three years.
Carl explains why Tirzah is there and has Dex look after her to keep her safe.
Although Tirzah has feelings for Dex she feels they have nothing in common, are too different and fights her feelings. They spend a lot of time together and Dex shows her things that the MC does to bring God to others. He shows her that just because someone is different or someone is having a difficult time they are still important to God. I believe there are lessons to learn in this part that there are those who profess to be Christians while at the same time they look down on others.
The story is a good read, moves quickly, has moments of surprise, and HEA.
Why does Tirzah’s mother not want to send her to her grandfather?
What was the nickname the other MC members called Dex?
How did meeting Tirzah the first time affect Dex?
I received a complimentary copy and I am providing an honest review.
This was a fantastic, clean Christian romance about never judging a book by its cover, faith, and finding the true person behind a stereotype. Dex is a Christian biker and heir to a manufacturing company with a heart of gold. Tirzah is a sheltered young woman who longs for love and secretly questions the religious practices her parents and their pastor teaches. Blind Date With a Billionaire Biker was filled with danger, healing, forgiveness, Christ-like teachings, witty, flirtatious banter, and love. Its a wonderful story two people from completely different backgrounds who help each other find the true meaning of Christ’s teaching through prayer and living by example. Evangeline Kelly has a way of creating clean romance stories with wonderful characters that help readers learn more about Christ’s love for all of us through repentance, forgiveness, and service of others. I absolutely loved this series.
“I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.”
I expected to like the book because I’ve enjoyed all of the author’s other works that I’ve read. I did not expect to be so very pleasantly surprised at how much I loved the unexpected plot. The author took the plot in a completely different direction than what I expected and then she added some twists and turns. I found the main characters to be likable and well developed, and I loved Tank, a.k.a. Grandpa. I found Dex’s careful treatment of Tirzah to be one of the most romantic things I’ve read in a long time. Evangeline Kelly emphasized family and relationships, not the excessive consumption that some billionaire books have. I appreciated the gentle and naturally flowing Scriptural parts to the book. Tirzah learned that grace and truth triumph over man-made rules. I could continue on about specific things that I loved about the book, but no readers appreciate plot spoilers. I highly recommend this book! I received an ARC. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this excellent romance.
A woman and different life styles
This is a great story about Dex and Tizzy. They are from different ways of life but together they are wonderful! This is a different story of a MC. This was a really enjoyable story! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
I totally loved this story! Sometimes it pays to take risks with your heart:) Always trust God to lead you and you will find your happily ever after. I believe you should judge people by their actions, not by their appearance:) I highly recommend this book and author! Happy reading!
Second chances can happen.
Even though the characters were from different lifestyles they managed to come together.
The whole story was so interesting.
Evangelene Kelly is an awesome author.
I absolutely loved Blind Date with a Billionaire Biker! Evangeline Kelly beautifully writes a story about two very realistic people who are so completely different that only God could put them together. This story examines several biblical principles through this seemingly mismatched couple as they struggle to find their HEA. I highly recommend Blind Date with a Billionaire Biker!
This book was a unique twist in the billionaire romance genre. Not only did it have an interesting plot but a great message about faith, stereotypes and overcoming personal issues.
Tirzah comes from an ultra-conservative upbringing where marriages are arranged and parents are to be obeyed. Her life is thrown into a tizzy (which becomes her nickname in our story) when through unexpected circumstances she is sent to live with a previously unknown grandfather who just happens to be the leader of a biker club. There her faith clashes with her grandfather Carl’s beliefs which shower people with grace, acceptance and love. Through him she meets Dex who shatters her stereotypes and helps introduce her to a God who is not a tyrant. What about all the rules? Can she really have more than the expectations she’s had since childhood?
Dex was rejected by his billionaire father and always saw himself as a failure. Through Carl’s club, now his family, he’s found what was missing. He no longer seeks escape through drugs or other means. He now has a mission—to reach out to the lost and hurting, yet the wound left by his dad has never healed. Can he forgive his father? As he wrestles with his dad’s effort to reconcile he meets Carl’s granddaughter, a woman he saved three years earlier from a riot and never forgot. His life just got a lot more interesting.
Can Dex and Tirzah move beyond their obvious differences and find the real love they both need? Will her parents and his past get in the way?
Her best book yet!!! Evangeline Kelly’s characters are always relatable but this time she has outdone herself. Dex and Tizzy the main couple are exact opposites yet somehow they find themselves together again and again. Tizzy’s grandpa helps the young couple see God’s plan for them and helps Tizzy’s parents realize that different can be a good thing if given a chance.
Unlike Kelly’s other romance stories, this is a full length novel but you’ll find yourself finishing it with lightening speed as you loose sleep wondering what’s going to happen next.
A great book to take you away from your everyday routine and leave you smiling; and like all of Kelly’s books …… wanting more!!
The newest book, Blind Date with a Billionaire Bike, by Evangeline Kelly is definitely a hit. I think that this book is quite different from Ms. Kelly’s other books. Although this is a romance book, I found it to be so much more. It is suspenseful, funny, tender, and educating. I really admire how the author dealt with some sensitive topics: prejudices based on appearance, Christian churches bordering on being cults, and examples of true Christian service. However, Blind Date with a Billionaire Biker is not a “preachy” book. I really enjoyed reading the book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading women’s fiction or romance books.
Tizzy and Dex are definitely opposites in a secular way but their love for Christ is what draws them to each other. Love how the author shows that Christians aren’t all alike. They had an unusual first meeting and a rather funny second meeting. Loved Tizzy’s grandfather. Their relationship was so sweet and really liked how it slowly progressed. So refreshing in this day. Would love a book about her grandfather and his lost love.
ONE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE!!!
Wow! Man, talk about heartache. A whirlwind of emotions and events that feed from the excitement and nerve racking tension that brings this bad boy roaring to life brilliantly. All the twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few glitches and bumps here and there pull you deeper into this raging storyline and hard hitting plot. Throw in all the drama, intrigue, uncertainty, danger and suspense and you have one intense, page turning bombshell that grabs your attention and holds it from start to finish. The characters are complex and so believable it feels like you can just reach out and touch them. The scenes are so graphically detailed it really pulls this little jewel together beautifully. You have no trouble picturing each scenario as it plays off one another perfectly. Evangeline definitely nailed this bad boy 100% on point. Remarkable job Evangeline, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
This was an excellent book that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let go until the end. Tirzah comes from a very conservative home and church. She has to make decisions about what she believes in and how she will live her life. In the midst of figuring things out, she was told that her life is in danger and she will need to live with her biological grandfather. She finds a new life and freedom that she has never known. She must make a choice about how she wants to live. Tirzah must also figure out how to continue to honor her parents without bowing to their wishes. Dex is a reformed biker that lives his life for Christ. That alone is a contradiction, yet he is also the sole heir to a billion-dollar company. Dex must learn forgiveness and reconcile with his father. I love the characters and what they had to struggle with. I liked that they came from different backgrounds and were so attracted to each other. The chemistry between the couple was amazing. Once again the author did an amazing job of making the characters mature before they were ready to be a part of a relationship. This was an amazing book that I would love to read again and again. I recommend this book to anyone that loves opposite attract, inspirational romance.
I received a copy of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.
Another excellent story. I think this is an unique, eye-opening and inspirational illustration of how the power of prayer can breakdown the walls of manipulation. I was so proud of Tizzy, she is a very strong woman considering and Dex is just….wow, his boldness to share his love of the Lord, opens the floodgates for others and himself to love, hope and forgive. Their relationship has its challenges, test, testimonies and their heartwarming story seems very realistic and is also soul searching. The actions of her parents rubbed me the wrong way yet its much deeper than them, their actions opens the door for her grandpa actions to help them. I really love Dex because regardless of how he is treated by others due to his past or outward appearance, he has passion in his heart for the Lord. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author.
Blind Date With a Billionaire Biker is a wonderful, inspirational romance. The story is unique – definitely not the usual billionaire fare. The characters are extremely well written. I loved Tizzy’s grandfather and the rest of the bikers who rode to bring Christ to people. Tizzy and Dex are great together. Once I started the story ,I could not put the book down. I highly recommend this book.
