Holly has a been dumped more times than she liked, not because she wasn’t a catch or had a horrible personality, but because her brother, President of the Berserkers MC threatens any man who looks her way. After another chance encounter with the bearded man with broad shoulders and tattoos who sauntered into her family’s store earlier that day, she knew he wouldn’t be a man her brother could chase away. Little does she know Bear’s Hellion MC is seeking an alliance with the Berserkers MC which throws her love life right in the midst of her brother’s world.
Crossing the Line is a short read and could be read as a stand-alone novel. Due to the short length of the book, there is a lot of character background and colorful scenery which is left out. But this is why I prefer full length novels versus novella; this is a personal peeve of mine, not directly related to the author. While this is a short novella, Lawless’ vision is well versed and she does a great job getting to the point of the story and concluding it with minimal questions left unanswered.
This is not my first foray into Lawless’ work and her storytelling is quite compelling. I LOVE the mid 1980’s setting of this book! Brings back memories long forgotten for those of us who were actually teen/young adults in the 80’s. (Shout out to Bartles and James!)
If you agree this is a great novella, page me back 1 for yes, and 2 for no.
3.5 Stars A fast paced, steamy MC romance set in the 80’s.Read in one sitting and wouldn’t say no to reading more from this author. Bear and Blondie had an instant attraction but the most fun for me was the interactions between Bear and Holly’s brother Diezel.
A fast paced novella that packs a big punch. The connection and chemistry between Bear and Holly is undeniable, palpable, and intense. I absolutely enjoyed every single second of this story. Cant wait to see what comes next.
Crossing The Line by Linny Lawless is a Motorcycle Club Romance Novella that I listened to on audio narrated by Rodney Falcon.
This book is part of The Berzerkers MC World that focuses on Bear from Hellion MC who has an insta-love connection to Holly the sister of Diezel’s who is the Berzerkers MC President. I cannot wait until more books are released in this series.
Rodney did a great job on the narration. He always knows how to bring a story to life.

Crossing the Line
Berzerkers MC Patch Over Novella
By: Linny Lawless
Narrated by: Rodney Falcon
This is a great novella sized book, Linny Lawless is a gifted author, she fit an impressive amount of story into her novella sized book, it is well written and grabs your attention right from the start and holds it straight to the end. I love the MC world she created as well as the characters. Holly is Diezel’s brother, the President of the Berserkers MC, to protect her he kept her out of the club. Bear came into the store and there was an instant attraction, problem is he is a member of the Hellion MC and Diezel is not going to be happy if a relationship develops between them. When the Cutthroats MC come into Berserkers territory, attack Holly, it was Bear who saves her. I loved how everything plays out in this book, there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, a bit of angst, some thrilling moments, heartfelt ones and some hot romance. Linny Lawless, thank you for this great story!
I listened to the Audible edition, Rodney Falcon is a terrific narrator and voice artist. He does a great job portraying the characters, bring them to life giving them their voices and personality, as well as heart and attitude. He sets the perfect tone for the story, captures the characters passion and emotions which can be heard in his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen

Of course, Holly is off limits, but ……
Great to read with a nice cuppa and a few biscuits. Loved this.
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion
Oh, So Good
Wow!! For a short book it was packed full of so much biker goodness that it has me hooked on this author. Bear and Holly’s love was so believable that it left me with the hearts and butterflies feeling. Don’t get the wrong idea though because it was also packed full of dark and dangerous bikers.
For a first time reading this author it definitely won’t be my last because Ms. Lawless knows how to give me everything I want with my MC reads…dark elements, club business and hot dirty bikers that know how to treat their old ladies.
This was a nice morsel of yummy MC. It’s novella length but a full story. It has a bit of everything and was such fun to read. There’s action, violence, passion, redemption, sweetness, and a HEA. I enjoyed the patch over of two clubs and the caring characters. I also really, really loved the 80’s vibe because, well that was my decade!! It was great to jump back for a few. I liked Bear’s vibe and his instant alpha-ness. I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.
Loved this steamy heartwarming quick read about Bear and Holly. She’s suppose to be off limits, but after a life changing event happens to Holly nothing will stop these two from being together. Their connection is something others will never understand and she’s not letting him go.
First reading this author was very impressed. I did feel like I was missing something. This was just a short novella will start this series from the beginning with the original chapter. Good Book.
Crossing the Line: Berzerkers MC Patch Over by Linny Lawless is a must read, it had everything, drama, danger, violence and plenty of steam. Once again we find the Hellion MC at war with their rivals the Cutthroats MC. The only way to stop this threat is to patch over with the Berzerkers MC and with an united club take them down. You will fall in love with Bear and Holly as they have an instant attraction to one another the first time they meet. Holly’s brother is Diezel, Pres. of the Berzerkers who constantly scares off any man that Holly wants to date. When Bear finds out who Holly is, he can’t seem to forget about her even when he is told she is off limits. When Bear saves Holly from a threat he stands up to Diezel and informs him that Holly is the woman he wants and nothing will stand in his way not Diezel or the patch over. The was a fast paced sexy read and I highly recommend this book, can’t wait to see what happens next in the Berzerkers Series. If you love larger than life hard, sexy alpha bikers this one is for you. I voluntairly reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
I am loving this throwback series by Linny Lawless! 80’s fashion and hair, pagers, hardcore bikers with a code all their own are a recipe for awesomeness! Bear likes stopping at the market that has the cutest girl who works at the counter. When he is in the right place at the right time, he saves her life and brings her to her brother, a member of another motorcycle club. Her brother is less than thrilled she is on Bear’s bike. Too bad cause Bear likes her right where she is and if she agrees, that it where she will stay. Tons of fun, Linny Lawless packs of punch in Crossing the Line!
Holly and Bear’s story is short and intense from beginning to end they pull you in and keep you wanting more and more. You will laugh, cry and fall for these two as you read it. It as everything you need and won’t leave you empty. Amazing read can wait to read what she has next
