He’s married and twice my age, but I can’t walk away.
Murder-We were never supposed to happen. Alexa’s my daughter’s best friend. I’m a married man. I’m too old for her, but stolen glances turn into more than either of us are prepared for. I’ve made promises I can’t keep. I’m the Prez of Royal Bastards MC. I’m not supposed to be tempted by her innocence. My head swears that I don’t love her, … tempted by her innocence. My head swears that I don’t love her, but my heart won’t let go.
Alexa-
Murder’s married. Off Limits. But I want him. He’s a powerful man. Untouchable and unbreakable. I’ll be his dirty little secret. No one has to know. We’re playing a dangerous game. A deadly one that will leave me with a broken heart or worse, but I’ll do anything to prove to him that what we share is a ride or die love. And for Murder, I’m willing to risk it all.
Tempting The Biker is part of the Royal Bastards MC world.

Glenna you did the impossible you made me like both Murder and Alexa and after Lady and the Biker (which must be read first) I wasn’t sure I would. This is not some fluffy feel good romance infact it takes angst to the next level. This is a story of pain of dark times where you hurt the one you love with your words and actions. We get some answers left over from book one. I found myself angry at both of them at times and wanted to give them a slap. There are some dark themes in the story which I love in my MC books. The question is how long would you wait for the man you love.
Raw, dirty, angry, blackmail, romance, action, violence, hot men, strong women… this story has a lot going one and it will keep you interested and turning the pages. I love Murder (he is an alphahole and I cannot help but love him), but he has every reason to be the way he is. I really like the raw gritty feel to this story and I don’t think I have ever read a story line quite like this. That was refreshing. This author knows how to make me addicted to her alpha men and want to be one of her heroines. This is a great story. 4 stars.
Okay this is a time consuming type of love y’all, They’re not supposed to be together at all but they found a way to make it happen. Y’all gonna hate these two, but than they make you look at them from a different light, you’ve tried to not like them so much but in the end you’re rooting for them, you’re hurting for them, you’re screaming, you’re mad at the injustice. My heart was hurting for them, I felt their pain, their sadness. There’s a lot of twist and turns in this book, things happening that you didn’t want to happen but did anyway. You can feel their love for each other in each pages of this book, they say love is not easy and it’s true for these two, nothing have been easy for them. Their love is the type that goes through the same cycle for every century, every time they’re reborn, they’re right back to each other. Author Glenna Maynard, you’re amazing, you’ve outdone yourself, you went above and beyond for these two. This is a phenomenal book, it’s emotionally gut wrenching but what more can you ask for when these two made an appearance? Although this is fiction but I walked away from it with a happy smile on my face. Anything from this author I recommend, but just make sure you’re ready to take that rollercoaster ride when you’re reading anything by author Glenna Maynard. For a better reading experience, you have to read The Biker’s Kiss, Lady And The Biker, to this one, and again Thank You Author Glenna Maynard, you blew me away with this one.
Omg,this had me yelling,crying ugly tears but most of all it had me captivated!
After reading Lady and the Biker,I was counting down the days,until I could get my hands on it,and man it didn’t disappoint. Full of heartache and angst,but its true what they say…through darkness comes light….
A highly recommended read!!!!
I absolutely loved reading this book.
The story was very well written and sucked me in
from page one until the last page.
You will definitely need tissues for this book.
Murder is very much older than Alexa.
The chemistry between them is off the charts.
Glenna Maynard is an amazing author of older men
and younger women stories.
You definitely need to read Lady and the Biker first.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book from an
advanced reader copy.
To tried to give it 5 stars but it wouldn’t let me. I absolutely love this book! Murder is by far one of the best characters that I have read in a very long time! This book was absolutely phenomenal!! This book is a must read!!
Holy smokes! Going in I had to keep my eyes wide open because Ms. Maynard’s books tend to take you on a wild ride and Tempting the Biker was no different! Oh my goodness; the push-pull between Murder and Alexa was awesome. Trying to deny what he wanted, being unable to do so, then being caught in a web of another’s making. This segment of the RBMC is definitely awesome and I cannot wait to see what happens next! If you want safe, this isn’t the book for you but if you want a love that transcends what currently is, you wanna read it!
Words fail me, this is absolutely wonderful, the emotions it pulled was phenomenal, sorrow for the times lost, anger at Ruthie and Alexa’s parents, heartbreak and joy. I know you shouldn’t love a cheater but Murder was different as you find out, his hands are sort of tied, when I first read Alexa in the Lady and the Biker, I didn’t care for her all that much, this is such an eye opener, the things she went through and had to put up with ….. needless to say this is a page turning, unputdownable story and I can’t wait for Keeping the Biker, which is next.
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion
When I finished Tempting the Biker I was literally lost for words. It was PHENOMENAL! I’m absolutely INFATUATED and OBSESSED with it.
Full of darkness, blood spilling, deep rooted pain.
“There’s so much blood. Oh god. I’m going to faint. My eyes roll back, and I sway on my feet.”
Filled with a compulsion for lust.
“Want you crying out my name.” He nips at my collarbone. I come alive for him.
Only him.
My biker.
My killer.
My man.”
“I know he’s only gonna break my heart. But I don’t care. Fevered with desire I give my all to him, whatever is left of me, it’s his. I’m his. If only for this night. I’ll hold him in my heart forever.”
Craving, Intense yearning, deep seated need at its finest.
“Sitting in the same spot nursing the rest of my bottle of Jack looking beautifully broken. An avenging angel. My personal hell is being here in this room with her. Wanting her and unable to have her.”
Absolute Determination.
“I’m taking what I want. Why should I deny myself of this one guilty pleasure?”
The build and anticipation will captivate you. Consume you. Punch you in the gut leaving you feel fragile.
“The sweetest and deadliest sin. I stroke my fingers along her jaw and through her hair, getting swept away, consumed by one broken girl who can heal me and destroy me with one kiss.”
My emotions were all over the place. Anxiety to its highest degree. I wallowed in the depth of sorrow. Mental suffering and anguish to the point it hurts. The pain I felt was real. The intensity left me breathless.
“He stares at me with those dark eyes that have tortured me for years. He grabs my hand. “Baby, I’ve been in hell all these years. Unable to touch you whenever I wanted.”
Glenna created characters that were flawed, broken, and shattered to the point of irreparable yet they were extraordinary.
“His dark eyes bore into me with such intensity I could catch fire. I’ll never get over the way he looks at me like there’s no one else he’ll ever want more than me. Nothing he’ll ever crave more than this. More than us. Our one spark created a wildfire that’s been burning for years. Decimating everything in our path. Nothing can douse the flames. I’ll burn and yearn for this man till the day I die and maybe even after in heaven or hell. I’d follow him anywhere.”
Tempting the Biker by Glenna Maynard is dark, delicious, and one of my favorite reads.
Brushing a knuckle along my cheek, he murmurs, “natural as breathing.”
“What is?”
“Being with you.”
Be still my beating heart!!!
“I know one thing in this life. You don’t choose who to love”
Know you don’t.
Again I love… Love… LOVE this book. 5 Shining Stars all the way!
I can’t wait to read more of this series!
A wild and crazy ride to go on with Murder and Alexa. I felt like I was taken on an emotional roller coaster ride; I laughed, swooned, was upset, frustrated, I cried a little but over all, I was intrigued. This was definitely a raw and gritty story but I loved every single second of it. Glenna never ceases to amaze me. Great story!
This is one ugly, dirty, raw, and AMAZING book!!
Murder knocked up his girlfriend at 15 and a shotgun wedding ensued. He and Ruthie are not right for each other but her father is the club Prez and Ruthie is also blackmailing him. He loves his 15 year old daughter and his club so he just sticks it out. He’s always been faithful to Ruthie despite what she thinks. Until Alexa. Oh young Alexa. Her family life is not good, her parents treat her like a doll to set out and impress their friends. At almost 18 years old no one has ever really loved her.
Murder is such an ahole!! But dang if I didn’t love him! And Alexa, so many times I wanted to set that girl down and giver her a good talking too. Let’s be real, no one condones cheating. These characters never intended to fall in love but fate kept bringing them together. My heart broke so many times. I could feel the heartbreak and anguish they went through. It was so raw and emotional and real. This is one of those books that you immediately want to read again as soon as you finish it. In my opinion this is Glenna Maynards best book to date, and she has some pretty great ones already.
I am so mad that I finished this in one sitting. I think I’m going to go back and read Wylla & East’s book just so I can read this again. Great book!
true love prevails
I purchased this book via Amazon and am leaving my review voluntarily. It is part of the ongoing multi author Royal Bastards MC series and the authors 3rd book.
Triggers:
rape, murder, decapitation, cheating, kidnapping
Spoilers:
This is the story of Murder (James) and Alexa (Lex) – parents of Wylla (Lady and the Biker s1b6)
Murder was Prez of the Royal Bastards, married to Ruthie with a child. He and his wife had a violent, unhappy marriage.
Alexa, strict unloving home life. She became infatuated with her best friends dad.
Drama. Angst. Violence. Tragedy. HEA
While cheating is not something I approve of, I felt the author did a good job with her story. No one comes out the “good guy” in this or totally the “bad guy”. I liked that Murder and Alexa’s connection and later their relationship evolved over the years and that it wasn’t a one week adventure.
Alexa’s story broke my heart. No one loved her, told her they loved her. That is so sad. Murder loved her, but from afar and as a dirty secret. This book is steamy, raw and emotional. I felt so much for Alexa and wanted her to find her HEA. Great read!
After reading Lady & The Biker I wanted to know more about Alexa and Murder’s story from the start. I was not disappointed with how this story evolved. Murder was caught in a bad place that he felt he couldn’t escape, but he didn’t always make the right decisions. Alexa wow, her story broke my heart and I was rooting for her happily ever after even if it wasn’t with Murder. At the end both Alexa and Murder both made decisions that ended up hurting not only each other but others in their lives. Truly an epic story about love, pain, forgiveness and family. I highly recommend this story and you will fall in love with these characters just like I did.
To say that I have been waiting impatiently for Murder’s book would be an understatement. Dark and dirty book is a lot more than you would expect. Althought it can be read with reading Lady and the Biker, I suggest you read that first. Trust me, it’s worth it.
Glenna Maynard give us all the deliciousness we come to exepct from her MC series, while also giving us a lover story for the ages. Their story isnt an easy one, but James and Alexa fought tooth and nail for their happily ever after. I for one am happy they found each other.
This book is not for the faint of heart, but if you are willing to take a step out of your comfort zone this is the book to do it with.
Wow!
This book was PHENOMENAL!! I loved it so much even if most of the time I was shattered by all the HEARTBREAKING moments. Made the end so much BETTER. What happens with a ruthless MC pres and his pretty girl? You MUST READ to find out.
