The stakes are high, and neither of them is ready for what’s coming.
Trigger
As the Treasurer of the Royal Bastards MC, Los Angeles Chapter, my unparalleled talent for managing the Club's finances makes me indispensable. I run the Royal Casino with an iron grip, ensuring it remains a cornerstone of our operations. Known for shooting first and asking questions later, I’m working hard to rein in my impulsive tendencies, though my reputation for ruthlessness precedes me.
I find myself drawn into the shadowy world of underground fighting. Introduced by Tiny, the brutal arena offers a way to make quick money but at a steep personal cost. It’s here, amid the chaos and bloodshed, that I cross paths with Aerianna once again, the enigmatic woman who ran me over, literally and caught my attention during a fleeting but charged encounter at the Casino.
Aerianna
The moment I met Trigger, I knew my life was about to change. Whether it’s for the better or worse remains to be seen. He challenges me at every turn, breaking down the carefully constructed walls I’ve built. With every look and touch, he forces me to question everything I thought I knew.
I distrust men, convinced they’re capable of the same monstrous acts that claimed the life of my best friend, Allison. I’m determined to avenge Allison’s death and dismantle the Black Market Railroad. My passion for justice isn’t just a duty, it’s deeply personal, rooted in the values my upbringing instilled in me and the unbearable loss of my best friend.
Will their connection pull Trigger out of the shadows and into redemption or drag Aerianna further into the darkness?
Trigger aka Carter has a run in with someone that can only be described as love at first sight. The problem, that someone, is an FBI agent. Now the two must try to work together to find out who is responsible for the Black Market Railroad. Arieanna is at an empass because she doesn't trust men and more so doesn't trust the men of the MC so her feelings for Trigger are confusing yet overwhelming. While Trigger is determined to claim her as his old lady, Arieanna is ready to put it all on the line and embrace the life she wants with Trigger.
I’m loving this series/chapter of the RBMC so much. Jamie had my mind swirling a lot with this one. Aerianna has been on a mission for the last eight years, seeking information, when she is lead to the door of the RBMC. Together they all seek answers and justice. I can’t wait for Tony’s book next. 🖤🔥🏍️🔥🖤
My favorite Trigger quotes:
• I stop fighting what she means to me and go with it.
• Heaven and hell collide.
Heaven, because she feels perfect. Because this is right in a way I can’t explain.
TRIGGER’S TEMPTATION is the eleventh instalment in J. Lynn Lombard’s contemporary, adult RBMC: LOS ANGELES dark, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored RBMC. This is RBMC treasurer Trigger aka Carter, and FBI Special Agent Aerianna Faber’s story line. TRIGGER’S TEMPTATION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Trigger and Aerianna) TRIGGER’S TEMPTATION follows Special Agent Arianna Faber as she goes in search for someone she lost. Weeks earlier Trigger had an ‘accidental ‘ run in with our story line heroine, and in the interim never stopped fantasizing about the woman he knew nothing about. Fast forward to present day, Trigger will discover said woman is now in training as a card dealer for the club owned Royal Hotel and Casino but all is not as is appears to be. The RBMC is under investigation, and FBI Special Agent Aerianna Faber is sent in undercover, to determine if the club is involved with the Black Market Railroad, and human sexual trafficking.
The world building follows several paths including Aerianna’s search for someone she loves; the arrival of Trigger’s sister Elise, and the take down of the men responsible but once again, someone is targeting the women in Los Angeles, and our couple will be up close and personal with the people involved.
The relationship between Trigger and Aerianna begins acrimoniously when Trigger blames our heroine for the accident that almost ended his life. Determined to make Aerianna pay for her mistakes, Trigger goes on the offensive only to discover the heart wants something more. Aerianna is desperate to find the people responsible for the missing woman, and in doing so, begins a new path, going forward, with the man with whom she will fall in love the $ex scenes are passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, determined and familiar secondary and supporting characters including most if not all of the previous story line couples, the members of the RBMC: Los Angeles, Tiny and Syvannah ; several woman and children who have been rescued by the RBMC, as well as the introduction of Trigger’s sister Elise, and FBI Agent Benton. The requisite evil has many faces.
TRIGGER’S TEMPTATION is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, grief and loss,family and friendships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and heart breaking; the romance is limited but seductive; the characters are desperate and dynamic.
A dark, gritty, and addictive MC romance you won't want to put down
“The stakes are high, and neither of them is ready for what’s coming.”
What an intense, dark, and deliciously dirty ride this book was. I was absolutely hooked from the very first page—this is one of those stories you cannot put down. It's an emotional rollercoaster packed with suspense, danger, high-stakes drama, sizzling spice, and raw, unforgettable romance.
The twists hit hard and come when you least expect them. The story weaves through themes of redemption, betrayal, hope, and heartbreak, and it absolutely broke me in all the best ways. You’ll feel every moment—every high and every gut-wrenching low.
The characters are phenomenal. I instantly fell for them, especially Trigger—hands down, one of my favorite male leads. His chemistry with Aerianna is explosive. Their connection is electric from the moment they meet, and the tension between them only gets hotter as the stakes rise.
Aerianna is fierce and fearless as an undercover agent, determined to bring down the criminals responsible for a deep, dark web of corruption. Her mission leads her to the Royal Bastards MC, who she suspects might be involved. But as she gets to know them, everything she thought she knew starts to shift. As truths are uncovered, alliances form in unexpected ways—and together, they work to uncover the real enemies.
This story is gritty, sexy, emotionally complex, and absolutely unforgettable. I’m already counting down the days until the next installment.
Highly recommend.
“Heaven and hell collide. Heaven, because she feels perfect. Because this is right in a way I can’t explain. Hell, because I know now I won’t be able to stop.”
"The stakes are high, and neither of them is ready for what’s coming."
What an intense, dark, dirty and delicious read this was. I could not for the life of me put it down once I started, I was hooked from start to finish. It's such a wild emotional rollercoaster ride that has twists and turns you don't see coming. It's filled with danger, suspense, action, drama, spice, romance, redemption, hope, anger and so much more. My heart broke for them in their story.
The characters are just wonderful, I instantly fell in love with them, trigger is by far my favourite MMC. They have instant attraction and their chemistry is explosive and undeniable.
Aerianna is an undercover agent and she will stop at nothing to bring down the people involved. She is led to the royal bastards thinking they have a part init. But after spending time with them etc, her mind set is changing and together they work to find the real culprits.
I can't wait for the next lot. Highly recommend.
"Heaven and hell collide." Heaven, because she feels perfect. Because this is right in a way I can’t explain."Hell, because I know now I won’t be able to stop."
This book is raw, intense and compelling. The attraction between Trigger and Aerianna is beyond magnetic from the first moment they meet, though both try their best to bury it. They are on opposites side of the law, but have the same objective…take down the Black Market Railroad and its sex trafficking enterprise. He is the epitome of dangerous and lethal. She is most definitely his perfect match. Just as lethal in her own way, driven by vengeance and misplaced guilt, and has a take-no-prisoners attitude that only attracts Trigger more. They clash at first, then connect in a blaze of passion only to retreat then advance again when they discover their mutual objective. His club, his family are there to see them claim each other. Aerianna has found the home and the family that she has missed since she started her quest for vengeance years ago. They make some inroads, but the war against the traffickers continues in the next book.
Trigger and Aerianna literally ran into each other. Well she ran into his bike on the road. Neither were hurt but she said he pulled in front of her. Trigger called Capone and they came with the tow truck to pick him and his bike up. They left her and went back to the clubhouse. He couldn’t stop thinking of her. A few weeks later he saw her again at his casino. She was looking for a job but she ulterior motives. She was wrong about so many things and she learned about halfway through from Zach that she was wrong. She was trying to find her missing friend Allison and she thought the MC had something to do with it. She ended up partnering with them to work together to get justice. So good.
Trigger's Temptation is book nine of the Royal Bastards MC Series.
There is a big mystery which Aerianna is trying to solve. Her friend has gone missing many years ago and she has done everything she possibly can to solve this case. However, a lot of her signs are pointing to the Royal Bastards being involved in some way. We get to see her go undercover and try to solve this crime on her own, but Trigger stops her and offers aid. I liked how he let her be herself. He didn't try to change her and make her into a timid character.
I can't wait to read future books in this series. It's set up Tiny so well that I am eagerly awaiting his book.
Trigger's Temptation is book 9 of the Royal Bastards MC Series, LA Chapter written by the talented author J.Lynn LOmbard. This is Trigger and Aerianna emotional, intense and dangerous biker romance.

Triggers Temptation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ J Lynn Lombard Trigger and Aerianna Another member of the RBMC gets a story. This time it’s Trigger who by his name is trigger happy when it comes act now ask questions later. He’s out riding one night when he is hit by a truck. Aerianna is searching for answers to a friend from back in high school who went missing and has been searching for answers ever since. She happens to be the driver of said truck. When the two of them lay eyes on each other that was it for them. One problem might get in their way and that’s that she is an FBI agent and he’s a badboy biker. This is a must read of the series.
This is my first J. Lynn Lombard book but I can promise you it won’t be my last.
Trigger is grumpy and stubborn. He never wanted and old lady and surely never planned on falling in love. But then a blonde bombshell comes out of no where and crashes into him one night while he’s on his bike. Changing his entire tragectory. Aerianna is strong, stubborn and fiercely loyal. So much so she has spent the last few years of her life searching for her missing friend. She’s done everything and looked everywhere to find her. But now she’s facing the RBMC. How will she fair?
This phrase resonates for these characters. The FMC wanted to believe that the RBMC weren’t good guys, that they were the ones harming women, but that wasn’t the case. This instalove read is full of grit, emotion, and has a fast paced storyline. I loved, loved, loved Trigger and loved the twist and turns that we were taken through on the path to their HEA.
I love this chapter of the RBMC. The overarching plot is amazing and gripping, and each book is a must read for me.
When Trigger gets knocked of his Harley by a sassy woman he never in his wildest dreams thought he’d see her again until she’s stepped into his casino as one of his new employees he can’t stop thinking about her all the time now’s she’s in his environment will he be able to stay away Aerianna knocked over a sexy biker and can’t get him out of her mind she’s got a job to do working for the FBI undercover trying to find the leaders of the black market railway and nothing will get in her way
I love this series and each book that the author contributes to it gets better. This one really had me on my toes reading it. I mean from page one till the very last one I was turning those pages so engrossed in the story. Loads of action, suspense, and twists. loved the roller coaster ride that this book brought. The plot is on point, characters are well developed and the storyline is written well. And that ending what a jaw-dropping surprise that was. I cannot wait for the next book.
Trigger is everything I envision him being. Aerianna is on a quest for answers that lead her to the doorsteps of the RBMC. Things are not as she expected though. That dark, sexy biker is everything she needs, wants and more. Their journey is a but emotional, intense and of course dramatic, we are talking about the RBMC ya know. They're always a dramatic, chaotic, exciting bunch. Triggers Temptation is definitely a must read!
Trigger suits his name he's a hot head with a hair trigger. Aerianna is on a secret mission to find her best friend while hunting down the Black Market Railroad. She thinks Trigger is on the opposite side as her but still crazy drawn to him. Trigger doesn't want no wife or kids but Aerianna calls to him and he can't get her out of his mind. Boy this one is different in all the good ways. Must read!!
This book may cause triggers for some. There's evil in the world and it's coming for the Royal Bastard's women. Aerianna's world is turned upside down when she finds out who is behind the abductions. She's FBI and is shocked with what she finds out. The only thing I didn't like is what did with the last guy they caught? Won't say his name so as not to b he anything away. The next book doesn't come out till 2026, to long to wait.
I could not put this book down until I finished the last oage. It grabbed me from the very beginning and I was hooked. What a read. This book moves along at apace that makes for a very enjoyable read and an easy one. The pace is perfect for the flow of the story. You will love these characters, you feel as though you know them personally and you feel as though you should be there wupporting them and being their friend. This is a must read, you will not be disappointed.
Trigger’s Temptation by J. Lynn Lombard I can lose hours reading a J. Lynn Lombard book. Lombard’s superior skill at pacing is very much present in TRIGGERS TEMPTATION. It’s chock full of action and romance. From the Crash-Into Hello to the teaser for the next book in the series (I am not happy I have to wait until 2026, but Lombard does have other books coming out soon), I couldn’t put it down. This is a very satisfying read and I look forward to everything that Lombard writes.
This is Trigger and Aerianna's story. Trigger is the treasurer for the RBMC Los Angeles chapter. Aerianna is a fed. She's looking for answers on what happened to her best friend, and they all lead back to the RBMC. The way these two meet is kinda funny, at least to me. This one has action, drama, some intense scenes, and romance. The ending, really just like that, and now I have to wait for Tiny's book.
Trigger and Aerianna's story in this 8th run of the RBMC was everything I was wishing for and blew my expectations away! Surprising twists and cameo appearances by some of my favorite characters from other books made reading their story unputdownable! Danger and suspense, lust and rage, hope and redemption abound inside the pages.
Aerianna, an undercover FBI agent, is sure the RBMC are behind her best friend’s disappearance, but the truth turns out to be something else entirely. Trigger can’t stop thinking about the woman who accidentally hit him, and the feeling is mutual. With the RBMC’s help, they unravel the mystery together.
This is full of twists, great characters, and nonstop action, I couldn’t put it down.
I just live the way that these books build off each other. Another great book in the mc universe. I liked thebbanter and the interaction between the two. Fmc and thier relationship seemed a little different from the other books and it was great. The spice was good. Not too spicy and definitely a good amount of plot.
Aerianna is in law enforcement to bust The Black Market Railroad who traffic women her best friend being one of them . Trigger is a member of The Royal Bastards and this is their story . When I want to read MC this is the author I go to, to enjoy the plot and story ! I am so drawn to the MC group that I love hearing more about them .
I absolutely love this book!! Trigger and Aerianna are destined to be together. They have a very interesting start. It’s a truck wreck. They go through so much, have such passion that you get completely invested in them. This is a must read!
This is my first book from this author and I am impressed. I didn’t want to put this book down. Filled with twists, suspense, tons of action & spice. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to see what happens next.
Holy shit!!! What a read!! My heart is in my mouth as I write this review. That ending totally fucked me up!! Again, a gamut of emotion as I made my way through this book. Trigger and Aerianna’s story is not straightforward, but damn do they stand strong together!! Absolutely loved this!
I love the world this author has created. The character development is fantastic, and the story draws you in. All I can ask is that she writes faster ... I don't want to wait another year until the next book. 😫
This Chapter - wow! Trigger and Aerianna are locked on each other from the moment she hits his motorcycle. And it gets so much better from there. And the black market railroad is coming to a head. Cannot wait for Tiny’s story …. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
one of my favorites so far. I really enjoyed how the two main characters came together and then worked together to take down the bad guys. The spicy scenes were great as always
