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.

Tempting the biker by Glenna Maynard
This book is filled with adventure great story plot. I love the MC world the code these bikers live by and the raw emotions the main characters involved with each other is truly steamy. This was my first book by the Author I really enjoyed this book. I freely voluntarily review this book for my honest opinion.
This One was soo worth the wait… even though I hated waiting and I never stopped bugging for it.
Murder and Alexa’s love was so beautifully perfectly Imperfect and I think that made me love them even more. They proved that not matter what happens in life or how long your separated true love withstands it all.
Now I really wanted to hurt Murder alot but the bastard had me loving him from the very beginning. I loved Alexa through Lady and the Biker… getting her full story in Tempting the Biker had me loving her so much more.
I know i say this alot but this one is Really Amazing and my top 5 of Glenna’s books. Definitely 5
Sweet Baby Jesus, my heart!! This book had totally broken me, by 24% I was in tears and it didn’t get any easier. At 75% I was pouring the whiskey!!
If you have read Kissing The Biker you will have had a taste of Alexa and Murder, but this starts right at the beginning. This has taken my feelings through the emotional wringer, to the point where I had to put my kindle down and take a breath. And a dram of Fireball!!
Absolutely loved this book and I can’t wait for more from this Chapter and this author!
Didn’t expect to fall for Muder but he won my heart. I was team Alexa all the way! So glad they had a happy ending and looking foward to February for the rest of their story, hoping for true HEA!
Wow.. I absolutely loved this story. I need more!!
Tempting the Biker is a brilliant addition to the Royal Bastards collection.
Alexa and Murder…crikey these two had me on the edge of my seat. I shouldn’t even like the main male character but I did. Absolutely loved this story. Can’t wait to read more from this author.
Although this can be read on its own I need to go back and read The Biker’s Kiss, Lady & The Biker and Tempting The Biker as this was oh so good.
An epic story that’ll take you on an emotional rollercoaster. There are some moments you’ll be like did that really happen. While other times you’ll be left reeling, mind blown at what happened. This one will captivate you and hold you on edge. There’s action, suspense, drama, twists and turns, grit and so much more. It’s a page turner packed with one hell of a story.
He’s old enough to be her father, but she can’t deny the attraction she has to him. He’s strong, sexy, kind, and caring. Murder has showed her more kindness and caring than her own father ever had. Alexa was raised to be perfect and not disappoint her parents. She’s done the best she could for seventeen years, now she just needs to get away from them and their rules. She finds herself in a bad situation and has no one to turn to for help or safety. The only person she can think of is her best friend’s father, the President of the Royal B’s MC in Charleston, WV, but he’s also a man that she is attracted to.
He knows that she is trouble the first time he lays eyes on her. His daughter shouldn’t be hanging around with her, they’re not even the same age. James “Murder” is a man that is not happy in his marriage and wants his daughter’s best friend. He couldn’t curb his temptation and now these two have a bigger secret than before. The trouble is that can’t be together, James has to try to make his marriage work. It isn’t easy and he has convinced himself that he will never have the woman he loves and will have to watch her find someone to make her happy.
I had not read Lady and the Biker before starting this book, but after reading the note from Ms. Maynard that it would be best to read these books in order, I purchased Lady and the Biker and read it first. I am so happy I did too. This story is a continuation of that book and I would have been a little lost at first had I not read the other book first. The Charleston, WV chapter of the Royal B’s MC have had to rebuild over the years after Murder took the presidency and they have done well. This story shows that not everything is great for the MC, there is betrayal, twists, action, secrets, and eventually, an HEA. There are some crazy characters that are crazy and made me want to scream and tell Murder that he was crazy for thinking things would go as he planned. Did he not know the people that he was living around or with for so long? I really enjoyed the book and can’t wait for more of the RBMC Charleston, WV characters to have stories. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend the book as well as the series. These men are dangerous, sexy and very possessive.
This was a book that had plenty of grit and meat to the wonderfully written storyline with characters that were so strongly created! This older man younger woman romance had the hottest chemistry that I couldn’t stop turning the pages until I finished reading this outstanding read!
Tempting The Biker was a great story, I couldn’t put the book down. The plot was strong, it was packed with many emotions, the story was written well. Glenna Maynard did a great job on the book.
Nothing about Alexa and James/Murder’s journey was easy. Their relationship was forbidden in many ways but they were drawn to each other, their connection, the attraction between them was strong, they were made for each other. The chemistry between James and Alexa was off the charts, it was hot and sexy, they were great together. They healed each other in a way that both of them needed, their journey was intense but they made a strong pair, both were fighters that have been through so much. Nothing about their journey was easy, it was an emotional rollercoaster. Their path had so many heartbreaking moments, it was heartbreaking.
This was a great book, I enjoyed it. I can’t wait to read more.
Thank you, Glenna Maynard. Wonderful work 🙂
5 Stars!
I’d recommend reading this book.
Tempting The Biker
by Glenna Maynard
This the third book in the royal bastard mc Charleston,WV
What an exciting and wild journey the MC went through.
I was glued to my Kindle until the end.
The Author book definitely was a page-turner.
The story is well written.
Intriguing Story plot that will capture your attention.
Amazing book Cover.
Overall this book meet my expectations and more.
I voluntary read,This is my review.
Wow! This book was a lot…. so much raw emotion on every page. Murder knocks up Ruthie at a very young age and is really forced to be with her. She is really a terrible person who makes Murder’s life hell. He sticks it out because her dad is the MC prez and he loves their daughter. Then in walks Alexa, his daughters friend who tempts him like no other has. What comes next is so real and emotional. I do not like cheating in a book, however how this is done and the circumstances make it necessary. This was very well written and a very good read! I highly recommend it!
I don’t know what I signed up for and what I was expecting to read. I didn’t want to like this but I was intrigued; it’s the Royal Bastards after all. Man, was I sucked in. This is not easy. There is angst but it’s also dark and gritty and so not a feel-good, easy romance. The hard ones are the ones that grab me though because a lot of work is put in. Murder and Alexa are definitely tempting and the road is hard. Get ready!
I say this alot, I know, but this book is hands down one of my top reads of 2020…and for so many reasons. Tempting the Biker is the author’s very highly anticipated 3rd book in the RBMC: Charleston series and while the story is told entirely in this book, the characters are first introduced in Book 2, Lady & the Biker. As this book is both a prequel and a sequel to Book 2, it is highly recommended that you do not read this before reading Lady & the Biker.
Murder is a member of the RBMC and is in an insufferable marriage, but he stays loyal to his wife (something his brothers often give him grief over) for the sake of their daughter. Alexa is his daughter’s best friend who finds solace with Murder and his family while feeling unloved by literally everyone in her life, especially after she falls victim to a horrifying attack. Time passes…things happen…he was only trying to protect her. Then they’re both dealt a devastating blow and the dynamic of their relationship becomes unbearable for the both of them…to the point where their lives are changed for many years to come.
Listen, some readers are going to HATE these characters. They did not come out of Book 2 with great reputations. But you MUST give this story the chance to play itself out and bury itself in your gut. There comes a point in almost every angsty book I read where the emotion I feel becomes painful. Well, let me tell you, I found myself constantly rubbing my chest to keep that pain at bay. This story is tragically beautiful. These characters are despicably but fantastically real. 5 stars will never be enough for how highly I rate this book. And if the author wasn’t already one of the high queens of dark MC romantic suspense, I’d be first in line to give her the crown after this!
Murder and Alex capture you in this one so we do not let go. They are building something dangerous but we do not want them to stop. I usually do not read ones such as this because of the married bit. I do read lots of MC’s. The story in this one caught me though and once I was in I could not stop. Oh though I would of liked to slapped a thing or two but I waited to see where we were sent. We do get torn up in this one with wanting oh so many changes. Love- hate with this one.
What a ride! This fast paced dark read was action packed. Just when I thought I knew where it was going it would take a hard left. Murder and Alexa’s taboo relationship was the definition of “it’s complicated”. The character’s struggles and pain as they fought against the outside influences and emotional hurdles was raw and real. I couldn’t help rooting for Alexa to get her happily ever after.
HOLY COW What a ride. Ms. Maynard has my emotions all over the place with “Tempting the Biker”. I felt happy and sad. I had times I wanted to just hug the main characters and hope things would be ok and other times I wanted to hop their heads and tell them to cut the crap and get their stuff together.
The book is very well written with lots of ups and downs and twists and turns. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen…. well it didn’t. All I could do is keep myself glued to the pages and pray James (Aka Murder) and Alexa (Aka Lex/Pretty Girl) found any kind of happiness be it together or apart. They both go through hell and deserve so much more than the hands they were dealt. But life does always work as we wish and is rarely all sunshine and roses.
I highly recommend grabbing up Tempting the Biker and hanging on for one very bumpy but exciting ride. The book can easily be read as a stand-alone but I suggest starting with book 1 for a better experience.
2 Thumbs Up and 5 Resounding Stars!
All I can say is WOW!! First if you haven’t read Lady And The Biker I would suggest reading that first as it will give you a better understanding of what is going on.
Tempting the biker is very well written with a great storyline. It is full of raw emotions that will make you want to throw your kindle then have you ugly crying.. You know all the makings of a great book. This book is full of angst and all the sexiness you can handle. I highly recommend reading Tempting the Biker.
I don’t know how to begin this review but to say that Tempting the Biker by Glenna Maynard was heart breaking, thrilling, full of angst, violence, betrayals but most of all an all consuming forbidden love that span over the course of 18 years as you witness the love between Murder Pres. of the Royal Bastards MC and Alexa. Murder has been married to a heartless woman when she got pregnant at 15 and has lived a life of hell as she can only keep him through blackmail. The only joy in his life is his daughter Rochelle. Alexa is a young woman who is attracted to Murder regardless of the age difference but has a unhealthy relationship with her parents who have no love for her at all. The more time she spends with Murder’s daughter Rochelle she is instantly attracted to Murder and will do everything she can to be with him. When an incident happens at his home leaving Alexa broken and raped, this will be the beginning of the forbidden love between them as they try and cover their affair and once he finds out who raped her, Murder’s place in the club will change forever. Murder knows it is wrong to have these overwhelming feelings for her, but he can’t stop wanting or needing her despite the age difference or that she is best friends with his daughter. But his wife Ruthie may have other plans for both of them that neither one is aware of.
Now they will be faced with many obstacles of deceit, betrayals but most of all the loss of a loved one when the truth comes out, one that will leave Alexa with a life changing situation and maybe losing Murder forever. These two will never get the timing right to be together as their are so many people plotting against them. Their relationship will span years as these two are kept apart by revenge and blackmail each left broken. This is a love story for the ages, as these two characters will fight with everything they have to be together or is it too late? Now Murder will finally get his revenge on his betrayers as well as the hate he feels for his ex-wife who was the mastermind behind everything especially when Alexa and his granddaughter is harmed. OMG… this is story will pull at your heart with all of the pain and suffering Murder and Alexa had to go through just to be together. Now Murder is on a path to get this stubborn woman back into his life so they can be a family and have the life that was denied them, as the love these two soulmates have is a love that will last for eternity. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book. I don’t know how Glenna Maynard does it, she is an outstanding author who pulls her readers in with each one of her books as we become one with her characters as we are taken on a ride or die journey. The MC genre is her forte!
So Wrong but Oh, So Good!!!
James/Murder is now the Prez for his MC after putting the current Prez on trial in which his was found guilty. Oh, yeah he happened to be Murder’s father in law as well. He has been in a loveless marriage since he was15 and now his daughter is the only reason that he is still with Ruthie.
Here comes the “wrong” about this book…Murder has an attraction to his daughter’s best friend Alexa and she has just as strong feelings for him.
Even with this revelation this book caught me at the very beginning and had a grip on me the whole at through. The chemistry, betrayals, and heartbreak was in another realm. There are so many twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat even at 2a.m. I cannot wait to see what comes next!!
Wow this one was different, Murder is married and off limits but him and Alexa both want each other with all they have, their story is dark, now where near easy, it is full of so many triggers but so worth the read!!!
