Twenty years ago, I watched my dad die in front of my eyes, now I'm back in Stillwater Falls to find the people responsible for his murder.
Locking horns with the leader of the local MC on my first day as the new cop in town was not on my to-do list, and neither was falling for him.
Myles Lawson... His arrogance is infuriating, the undeniable magnetism between us even more so. He's everything I should hate, but his addictive touches, intoxicating kisses and affectionate words are becoming something I can't seem to live without.
We're on opposite sides of the law, or so I thought, but it turns out we're more alike than I bargained for.
Myles
With the threat of a rival club breathing down my neck as they try to move in on my town, the last thing I need is some snarky little spitfire in a police uniform turning my world upside down, but that's exactly what she's done.
Allie Adams... She's strikingly beautiful, stubborn, and a royal pain in my ass. She insists she can't be corrupted by a man like me, and I'm all too willing to accept the challenge. But it's quicky becoming apparent she's not the only one getting corrupted by this unlawful affair we've found ourselves tangled in.
Lines are being blurred, people I care about are being hurt and secrets and disloyalty threaten to tear my club apart and the woman at the very centre of my life could either be the key to save it or the match that sets it all on fire.
Unlawfully Yours is a small town, single dad motorcycle club romance. It is the first book in the Lawless MC series with a guaranteed HEA. It is an interconnected standalone romance that can be read on its own but the series is best read in order. This book is intended for readers 18+.
Unlawfully Yours by Natalie Clarke is a new-to-me British author—and one I’ll definitely be reading more from.
This book had me hooked from the very first chapter. I genuinely couldn’t put it down and ended up finishing it in a single day because every chapter pulled me straight into the next.
The MMC is the president of an MC and the FMC is a cop, which immediately sets up a charged, high-stakes dynamic that adds so much tension to every interaction.
The chemistry between the main characters is intense and addictive, with so much tension simmering under the surface that it made every interaction crackle. I loved how sharp, stubborn, and emotionally driven they both were—neither of them felt flat or predictable, and their push-and-pull dynamic was incredibly satisfying to read.
What really stood out to me was how well the emotional stakes were woven into the story. There’s danger, loyalty, conflict, and desire all tangled together, creating a constant sense of urgency that keeps the pages turning. The romance is passionate and messy in the best way, and the external pressures only make everything feel higher-risk and more compelling.
Fast-paced, gripping, and completely binge-worthy—I really enjoyed this one and would happily recommend it.
Allie Adams, 27 is a deputy with the sheriffs department in Denver, Colorado. She grew up in Georgia, but lost both her parents on the same day when she was 7 and was adopted.
Having flashbacks of the day her father died in her arms, Allie is set on going back to Stillwater, GA and find out what happened. When she shadows fellow Deputy Ryan Eaton and comes across two motorcycle clubs fighting each other, she doesn’t hesitate to arrest one of them. The president of the local MC Lawless. Myles Lawson.
Myles, 36 and president of the MC Lawless, never thought that he’d find a woman worthy of his time. His ex and mother to his 11 year old son Kit, has proven that he can’t trust them. But when he gets arrested by deputy Adams he can’t stop thinking about her.
The chemistry between these two was great. I liked the side characters and Kit was so sweet!
There are two things that happened where I yelled out “Nooooo!!”, but I can tell that four guys from that book deserve their own happy ending!
Wonderful writing by this author, awesome start to a new series! Can’t wait for more!
What can I say? I couldn’t fault this one bit! From the first chapter I knew it would be an investing read that would keep me on my toes, and it certainly did just that 😮💨😬.
This is only my second time reading from Natalie, the first being a Christmas romance I read back in 2024. So it was a nice change to read something of hers that wasn’t holiday based 😅👍🏻. It’s also been a while since I last read a mc romance, I even set myself a goal for the year to read from this trope again.
I’ve always loved a good motorcycle club story, some of my favourite books of all time are MC based, so returning to this trope felt good! 🖤😏. This book had it all for me, it was suspenseful with many plot twists and emotional beats. It’s definitely a page turner in my eyes, with every chapter came something new to learn about.
Allie and Myles had great chemistry from the first moment they met 😍. I enjoyed reading from both POVs and I really liked the concept of her being a cop and him being the mc prez was really cool. Allie was a strong, determined, stubborn but brave woman who wanted to do good in the world. Whilst Myles was a good leader, tough and would do anything for his son 🙏🏻.
There were no moments that delayed the story going forward. It wasn’t too long nor too short and it didn’t waste any time. I felt it was a perfect length, pace and the writing was solid 👍🏻.
I won’t talk spoilers as I feel this is a book you should just go in and read. As I didn’t know what to expect the twists and turns along the way made it all the more investing 👏🏻😉.
One last thing I’ll add is that at times this would give me the vibes of the Reapers MC Series by Joanna Wylde. So if you’ve read those books then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this! 📖
Overall I couldn’t find any negatives with this one, it was a great read and it’s top marks from me 😚.

She has moved back to town to learn the truth of what really happened to her parents. She is the new cop on the force, and has a run in with the local biker club her first day on the job. He is the president and the chemistry between them is off the charts. There are many secrets and lies to unravel along with a rival MC club. This is the first in a new series and the author has really laid out the beginnings well. This is not a one percenter club and they want to keep it that way. You get not only the main characters and their story, but you are introduced to the other brothers in the club as well as the town dynamics. The character development is complex and well laid out. There is passionate spice here, but deeper than that the characters bond and it is a truly engaging story all the way up until the end. They are hot and steamy, there is rival club drama, family history to unfold, and stuff to work out, but the author does a great job. I can't wait to read the next in the series, Killian is up next... and I am hoping Jade (not the FMC) and her baby girl get their HEA in a future story.

🖤 MC President x Cop 🖤 Enemies-to-lovers 🖤 Found Family 🖤 Small Town vibes 🖤 Single Dad Spice: 🌶🌶 Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Allie moves back to her home town in search of answers and those responsible for her father's death. Upon arriving she discovers there's an MC in town and as and the new cop on the force Allie wastes no time introducing herself to the president of the Lawless MC.
The banter between Myles and Allie is brilliant, they are so antagonistic and sarcastic towards each other. Both are vulnerable and lonely and its so sweet how they start to open up to each other.
Amazing side characters that start to feel like family the more the book goes on.
Maddie, its always the quite ones!! I loved her little "adventure" for her, yes girl! You could see where this was headed as it unfolded, but it still hit me in the feels.
Kit is the sweetest kid ever, how anyone could not love him is beyond me.
I love Killian!! I hope we get his story next because I need more from him.
If you love enemies-to-lovers with small town vibes this is perfect! 🖤🖤
This book had me from the first page. Myles and Allie are both victims of losing their fathers to a callous man. She has returned to the town where her father was killed to find him as an officer of the law. When she connects with Myles sparks ignite but she still arrests him, and it starts their journey along a dangerous path that is filled with twists and turns that had me holding my breath waiting for the next one to fall. It is well written, and I loved connecting with the characters through their banter and antics.

Allie witnessed her father being killed as a young girl, her mother disappeared on the same day. She was raised by adoptive parents faraway from Stillwater Falls. Now she is a cop and has landed a job in her hometown. She is not just here for a job, she plans on finding who took her father from her.
First day on the job, she arrests the President of the Lawless MC, Myles Lawson. The sheriff tells her she has to release him as that his not how things are done there.
Myles has not had interest in a woman since his son's mother skipped but this new cop has him wanting to dirty things to her. He cannot stay away from her, the more time he is around her the more he wants her.
There is danger at every turn, someone is not just after his son but also Allie. These two are perfect for each other, the push each's buttons which makes for amusing interactions.

What a great read that had me hooked from the beginning. Myles is a great Prez for a local MC that has Allie returning home after leaving after her father was gunned down 20 years ago. Allie returns as a cop and her first run in with Myles is when she witnesses him fighting with another MC club in broad daylight. She immediately arrests Myles and soon finds out that he has an agreement with the Sheriff and he is actually a good guy in his club and in the community. I will say, this book had some twists and turns that I was not prepared for and there are some dark moments so be warned. I love how this author tells her stories and we always get a real full length book. I am anxiously waiting for the next in the series. Don't sleep on this book or this author!.

What an amazing start to a motorcycle romance series! 🏍️ 👮🏻♀️fair warning I was going into this book with high hopes as I have read all of Natalie’s books before so I know I enjoy her writing n was so excited for this from the minute she announced it was coming as I love an mc romance! Myles and Allie’s story completely met my expectations n I loved every word, can’t wait for the next instalment. It was such a unique perspective n beautifully written. The spicy scenes were hot, hot, hot too 🌶️🍆 I even already have a fave character! I highly recommend reading this book and also giving any of Natalie’s books a try. 5⭐️ 4🌶️
I have loved every book Natatlie has written, and this one was no different. I absolutely adored the push and pull and banter between Allie and Myles. It was so entertaining to read, and I could just feel their tension and attraction flowing off the pages. The story was incredible. I loved trying to figure things out along with Allie, and everything was fast-paced and kept me flipping the pages. I loved meeting all the characters, and they have me so excited to get the next book in the series. Natalie has created a cast of amazing characters that you just want to hear more about. I could not get enough of this story and can't wait for what's next!
Wow Wow Wow - This book will have you gripped from the beginning.
Allie watched her father die and now has come back as a police officer to find the person responsible and get justice. Myles is the president of the Lawless MC his father was also killed.
When they meet the sparks are obvious but she doesn't hesitate to arrest him! The book is filled with many twists and turns as they discover who killed their fathers.
Running alongside that drama, there are laugh out loud moments as they bicker and banter...the other characters in the book really add to the story aswell. I'm looking forward to move books about this MC and how their stories play out.

Natalie has a way of writing that builds the plot so smoothly. Loved this book. It had the perfect amount of plot points, spice, and surprises.
Great paced read that brought all the delights of an MC Romance. Myles and Allie as a couple are exactly what the other needs but I did love the push and pull at the start before the f*#k it moment!
Great start to a new series and I can't wait for more
DNF. Didn’t ring true. H did not have a firm grip on his MC or his personal life. Allie’s adoptive parents should have told her about her dad’s MC association before she decided to move to the town he was killed in to investigate.🙄
These two are simply amazing. Their chemistry and the tension between them literally jumped off the page at you. Although saying that their banter was also good. Myles was perfect Allie, once she figured out how she felt. Natalie has a way of creating these worlds and characters that are likable and relatable. I loved this book and looking forward to reading more in this series
She just wanted answers to her past, however she never saw any of that coming. When they met it was an instant chemistry that he was not going to fight, she would though. He just wants to keep his son safe and loved and the town he grew up in safe as well. I sure didn't see that twist coming but loved every part of it. I would love to read about what the future brings them as well as the club.

This was such a good one. Ugh!! The fact that Allie hated the MC and all it stands for, then to find out her dad was one. Falling for Miles and finding her mom.😍 So good. Total HEA
I’m not normally one for MC books but I’ve loved each book Natalie has written, I’m so glad I’ve read this. Twists and turns, secrets uncovered, betrayal and unexpected family’s uncovered this book has everything from sad memories, heartstring moments and plenty of steam. Cannot wait for more
