I have missed these charters dearly and I'm so thrilled to have them back. I loved this one. It had a couple of unexpected surprises and I just need more.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute reading this story. The characters will hold a special place in my heart. Now that I read book 8, I am going to read every one in this series. This one mostly revolves around a man who readily samples every woman he comes into contact with. Until he meets a man who is distraught because his wife deserted his 3 kids just to be available for his club. He realizes he doesn’t much like himself and decides to change. Then he meets a certain baker and finds what he never knew he was looking for. I laughed, cried and rejoiced for some of these characters. I loved this one. Highly recommend. HEA, no cheating, no cliffhanger.
An excellent read. I absolutely loved Royce and Molly’s story ❤️❤️❤️ it took him a while to lock her down after all his bad boy ways but they are a fantastic couple, I really enjoyed the story. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎
My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.
This was hard to review because I love the Northern Grizzlies and have enjoyed the other books so much. Sadly I did not like Royce and it made it hard for me to root for his HEA. Four stars because I liked Molly and her friendship with many of the old ladies and loved seeing past characters.
This is a redemption story for Royce. All his choices have consequences and they all come to a head for him pretty much at once. He’s living his life carefree until he is confronted by a father with two small children, he realizes his actions have consequences. The man’s wife left him and their two small children because she loves having sex with Royce and partying at the MC. His manwhore ways has also made the woman he is serious about doubt his intentions and she refuses all his advances. His change is slow and often times stalled but in the end another manwhore gets a happy ending.
I liked Molly’s character, she is sweet, kind, and hard working. She owns the bakery in town that many of the MC members and club girls stop at. She has heard about Royce’s legendary penis and how all the ladies line up for it. And of course he doesn’t disappoint, he delivers. Hell he even has a fan club, their name? Nine Inch Club, the members have that tattooed on their hips to show they have enjoyed Royce’s nine inches.
I didn’t like Royce and I never warmed up to him. He wanted Molly from the moment he saw her and he even gives her oral sex at a party but when she overhears some of the guys had made a bet who could have sex with her first she thinks he was with her because of the bet. He didn’t know about the bet. He really does like her. After countless times asking her out she finally accepts but sadly he takes her to a restaurant where he has literally slept with all the female staff. The date is awful, to make up for it he drives her to visit his mother. Who of course is thrilled that her son is with a good woman. After the “mom” date weekend she warms up to him and they start dating and sleeping together. Which causes the Nine Inch Club president, Vixen to lash out by sending pics and videos of club girls having sex with Royce. Seeing the pics and video are hard for her and she decides it’s best if they breakup.
The story also has a small mystery of who Molly’s father is. Her mom was a free spirt and wandered for a while until she returned home with Molly. There could be four MC brothers who could possibly be her father. Flint, Roy, Mack, and Frank. Thank god it wasn’t Frank. I was hoping it was Mack. Turns out it’s Flint. Bree handles Flint having an adult daughter sprung on her with her usual grace and dignity. Another reason to love her character.
Royce talk to Molly she expresses concern that he’s used to variety and quantity, how can she compare. He tells her he want someone he can do everything with not someone he can do anything to. She mulls this over realizes no one is perfect and forgives him his past. He shows her he’s only hers by getting MOLLY tattooed on his pelvis.
Epilogue with him running into the man from the beginning of the book, he apologizes to him and tells him he has changed his life and is trying to be a better person. He then heads to the bakery where Molly is feeding of their new twin boys. It was great seeing all the characters from previous books again.

Royce has finally come into his own. Throughout the series his behavior and mouth have been more than questionable. With one encounter from an irate husband he realizes he wants so much more in life than easy women and drunken nights. Then Molly enters into the story. She has self.esteem issues due to her curvy body. She doesn't see the beauty in herself that Royce sees. But he wants more than her physical self, he wants her inner beauty. He wants her to be his. It takes a long time for him to convince her to go on a date with him. He is trying to convince her that he is a changed man but due to his past their first date is a disaster until he comes up with a way to salvage it. The couple shares some spicy scenes and deals with angst from his past. Get to know Royce and watch his growth by reading this series from the beginning.
Standalone in a Series. This book can be a standalone within this series because it focuses on one particular couple: newcomer bakery owner Molly Kent and MC player Ryan “Royce” MacNeal. I laughed, cried and enjoyed the tender moments. The poor guy Royce tried so hard to court Molly but he kept failing and having his mom as a date backup was epic. You will immensely enjoy this book as the characters are engaging and realistic. I did like the fact that Molly got to know who her biological father was. It made me root for the candidates.
This was an awesome story about Royce finally getting his eyes opened up about his lifestyle by an unlikely source and becoming the man he was supposed to be. I'm glad Royce finally got his HEA, I think Molly was the perfect old lady for him. And what a big surprise for a Flint another daughter and son-in-law.
Royce and Molly had a complicated and difficult relationship. Royce was known as a playboy and Molly was a baker. Royce had an awakening concerning his life style. The storyline was amazing and interesting, the couple struggled to have committed relationship.
Royce the player with the women around town all because of his special talent. Well he falls for the one person who really doesn’t know if she wants anything to do with him. When things start going well those other women start some trouble. And our little baker also gets a surprise in the way of new found family as well.
This book I couldn't put down. I love this series. I !I've the characters they are so funny ad real like. The storyline was so different and kept me guessing what would happen next. This book shows you that what you do in your past can hurt your future. I can't wait for the next book to come out.
I like Royce so much more than I ever expected to! I feel like we’ve been watching him grow up and this book was him really coming into himself. And Molly. There were definitely some surprises there! Great book. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and didn’t want to put it down!
So having to wait has been so hard! But Royce and Molly are so incredible together. We learn our past is just that past. I can't wait to see the exciting next adventures when the next generation comes out. Totally worth it.
I have totally enjoyed these books. Silver is coming out soon and I can't wait for it. Make sure that you read the two shorts between Shade and Royce. I kind of hesitated before reading Royce because of his personality but this was a great book.
This book answered a lot of questions and it was super great. Thank you for a great book that has a lot of answers about the group. Thank you so much and I enjoy your book so much.
I actually felt really sorry for Royce in this book, I know he was has a jaded past but seriously think Molly made him jump through more than a few hoops. I liked the story I just felt bad for Royce at times and am wondering about Vixen etc
I was happy to see that there were more stories available in this series, and couldn't wait to read them. It's a fantastic series with many unexpected twists that you won't want to miss. I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.
What a great addition to this series of books. Good characters and plot along with some good twists and turns plus some action and suspense. A bit of humor thrown in too. Very enjoyable.
I’m really happy to see Royce get his HEA. He’s one of those side characters you wonder about in earlier books. The author did a great job telling the story without glossing over the past.
I have been reading this series off and on for a few years. This is one of !t favorite quick biker series. The guys crack me up with some of their antics and the girls are strong and put the men in their place when needed.
Royce was a man whore . after being given a rude awakening by a man with 2 boys he knew he needed to change. His past actions were biting him in the ass. Until he meet the one.
It was really interesting about Molly finding a few answers she's needed her whole life. Can she give Royce a beginning 2 have a relationship without certain wicked witches starting scrap and leaving her with doubts? With the help from a few people she can hopefully learn a few things.
