Wayward Sons MC #1
Goldilocks
I had a good life once upon a time. Until it was not.
Running away was my only freedom from that hell. To keep moving. To keep looking over my shoulder.
If I didn’t, my ghosts would find me and drag me back into that nightmare. One I know would destroy me if I stayed there any longer.
Seamark, Washington, was supposed to be another temporary hideout, another place to lie low, earn some money, and move on. Just like any other small town, I only planned to stay for a few months.
That is, until I found him.
A dangerous, beautiful biker belonging to a local motorcycle club.
A distraction, who pulled me into his life of violence—a life I had been trying to avoid.
Yet, lost in the whirlwind of his chaos, why did it finally feel like I had found home?

Wayward Sons, MC: Goldilocks is a Motorcycle Club Romance novel that I recently ARCed. Technically it is the second time reading this book, first time was on a "buy a chapter" type app. I wouldn't read a book twice if it wasn't any good.
The only spoiler I am going to share, this book ends on a cliffhanger. Wayward Sons is the book that sent me MC/mafia reading rabbit hole - maybe it was the werewolf pack worlds? A possible discussion for another time! While there are many of these books I am finding that I like/love in this genre, this one stands out, because of strong male/female lead roles, and balanced storyline
The main leads, Weston "West" and Billie propel the story through strong backstories and character development. I am not going to spoil the tragic backgrounds for readers, but each of these two characters suffered horrible losses and is what drives their personalities.
One thing I hate about some MC/mafia romances, is that I get all the hot n spicy but a little or none of the dark violence to make the reader believe that these characters are in this dangerous lifestyle. Eve Marcoux brings a lot of the action along with the spice. I believe that this helps understand the relationship between West and Billie. We don't have to take the author's word at that they face danger. There are some funny and endearing scenes to balance the light, dark, and spicy.
The secondary characters are just as developed, lovable, fun, and dark as the main characters. They help support main leads very well. You cannot help but pick out your favorite secondary character. My favorite is Newt. You will need to read this book to find out why.
I think Hades from "Hercules" said it best when he said:

This book is a gripping motorcycle club romance that had me hooked from the start. Billie & West’s relationship is intense, mixing the morally grey MMC & love at first sight tropes in a way that kept me glued to the pages. Both characters have painful pasts, and watching them slowly work through their emotional baggage and break down their walls had me fully invested. Their chemistry was undeniable, and it just kept drawing me in deeper as the story progressed. Their connection really felt like a ride or die relationship, making every moment feel even more intense.
The world building was amazing!!! The author really brought the clubhouse & MC dynamics to life in a way that felt real and immersive. All the characters brought something special to the story, and I loved how well developed each of them was.
The plot kept me on the edge of my seat, constantly wondering what would happen next. Every twist and turn had me hooked, from the tense moments at the clubhouse to the raw emotional scenes between Billie & West. And that cliffhanger?! I’m dying to know what happens next.
I also loved the side characters, and I’m especially curious to find out what happened to 'little sis' after Rachele left. I really hope future books dive into her story.
The author's storytelling is fantastic 🙌 this book stands out in the MC romance genre for its action, deep emotions, and a relationship worth rooting for. It’s a ride you won’t want to miss.

This book was my first ever motorcycle club romance, and I can not go back after reading that. This book was amazing, and what a ride. The 2 main characters, West and Golidlocks (Billie), have both been through so much in their past and ended up being more connected to each other than even they realize. This story takes them on a journey of overcoming their fears, trauma, and the things that haunt their past.
I binged this book so fast and was in such a book slump after because I just needed more, and waiting for the next one has been devastating painful! This book was everything and more. The story is enticing, but painful, and also so fun. The banter is beautifully written. The character growth throughout is inspiring. I could feel everything these characters were going through, as if I was going through it myself. This story was everything a motorcycle club romance should be! Thank you so much, Eve, for writing such an amazing story that had me literally begging for more!
Favorite qoutes:
❤️ "But it felt like both of us were walking the tightrope of an impasse. Not sure what ground we both stood on with each other. Not knowing what we wanted. Worried if what we wanted was the impossible."
🖤 "Get on, Goldilocks."
❤️ "How the warmth of her breath coaxed my tongue out to wet my lips, begging me to touch hers. Each maddening breath sent more of that delicious cotton candy scent swimming up my nostrils."

Book Review: Wayward Sons #1
★★★★★
This book delivers everything you could want from an MC (Motorcycle Club) romance—action, passion, and an unforgettable cast of characters. Unlike some MC romances that focus solely on the steam, this one reminds us that biker clubs are more than just spice; they’re about loyalty, danger, and brotherhood.
Billie and West are a match made in chaos, and from the moment their paths cross, the chemistry is undeniable. Their connection is instant, even if they fight it, and the tension between them is absolute gold. Wes is the ultimate torn hero—one minute a jerk, the next a knight, and every bit the kind of bad boy fantasy readers love. Billie, on the other hand, is just as complex. She’s tough, but haunted, and watching her come to terms with her past while colliding with Wes is both heartbreaking and exhilarating.
Beyond the romance, the story is packed with twists, secrets, betrayals, and high-stakes drama. The writing keeps you on the edge of your seat, and just when you think you can take a breath—boom—another revelation. And, of course, the spice is top-tier.
This book is a rollercoaster from start to finish, and to say I was hooked would be an understatement. If you love gritty, intense, and emotionally charged MC romances, this one is a must-read. I’m already counting down the days until the next in the series!

Billie is on the run from town to town, desperately trying to escape the horrors of a past life. In Seamark, she finds herself being whisked away on the back of a roaring motorcycle, careening straight into a lifestyle that is far from what she knows she should get entangled with.
Meet West, a deeply broody outsider who only runs within the brotherhood of his MC, the Wayward Sons. He is afflicted by the aftermath of a shocking tragedy that changed his family and the Wayward Sons forever.
Billie aka “Goldilocks” and West find themselves hopelessly intertwined, whether by fate or by the magnetic pull of two souls that have both lived through some of the most traumatic devastations a person could live through. The attraction is steaming and undeniable, whatever the cause, and this gives way to a true slow burn 🔥
I loved this book as it has such fantastic character development and chemistry between the FMC and MMC. It does have some dark topics throughout, but it definitely adds to the depth and overall character evolution.
I will absolutely be reading Eve Marcoux’s follow up book in the duet!
5 stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Wayward Sons, MC: Goldilocks is the first book in the Wayward Sons, MC Series.
Billie has a lot of secrets she is keeping extremely close to her chest. Slowly we start to unravel some of her secrets. We finally get to see the full picture which led her to where she is now in her life. She projects such a sunshine persona that when you look closer you see all the pain and trauma she hides so she doesn't draw too much attention to herself.
West has been through enough heartbreak that he doesn't want to trust himself with another person again. However, Billie's kindness has a way of burrowing into someone's heart and soul. Yes, he bothered me at times with how he acted with Billie, but I do understand his reasonings. He doesn't want to get hurt again so he is protecting himself.
That ending! I need the next book ASAP. I need to know what is going to happen next with these two and the whole MC. There are still so many twists and turns which need to be unraveled before this story can be fully complete. I cannot wait to read it!

I didn’t know I could love a biker boy again after SOA. But dang did West make me fall for him. The way him and Billie spark, flame, and burn for each other is so hot, so consuming. Billie is a STRONG FMC who’s been through some stuff and then some, and while she isn’t on the other side of it yet, you just know she’s going to get there come hell or high water. West is a no holds barred, action first questions later kinda man. Big big touch her and die. The chemistry they have is palpable. And then you have the supporting characters! I’m obsessed with Fancy and want more about her and Rip. Lollipop is the cutest and what a good friend! Shayne is all bark and all bite! And the brothers? I’m so glad this is a series because I cannot wait to see everyone and how their stories all play out.

I absolutely devoured this book! Billie! That's my girl, she's a strong, funny, loving survivor. Running from a past that haunts her and keeps her constantly on the move, she doesn't stay in one place long and even more rarely trusts anyone. We'll thats until Laleh her coworker, introduces her to the family, to Wayward Sons MC. Weston ... oh Wes, we have a love and not love relationship. He's also pained from a horrific past, which makes him emotionally unavailable, but of course, our girl Billie is the exception. The angst is high, the spice boiling, and the love swoon worthy. Definitely make it your next read!

First book of the series and WOW it was absolutely amazing!!!! I just kept wanting to read and would hate how life got in the way. The connection between Billie and West just makes you want more. It’s more than just the spice between them; and yes the spice is 🔥🔥🔥.
An MC book that has everything you would want in an MC book and more. Tension, brawls, brotherhood dynamics, hot tattood men, strong females that know how to support their men but be their own identity, and oh so much more. Loyalty is tested and lines are crossed in this story. Can’t wait to continue journey of the wayward sons!

I have now read this twice and cannot wait for book 2. MC romances are not my normal genre but I love Eve’s writing and gave this a shot. Hands down another of the best reads I’ve done in a while. You won’t be disappointed. There’s instant attraction between the MMC and FMC but secrets and lies abound and you’re taken on a journey where you never know what’s going to happen. The twists and turns are phenomenally done and the writing is so well done you can’t help but be immersed in the world and action and everything that is happening.

This book was absolutely fantastic. It's the first book in a new biker series and it has a little of everything. There's the biker club, a hint of mafia, love, angst, found family, survival, betrayal and more. The story is beautifully woven to bring all of these parts together. West and Billie are the main MMC and FMC, but there are many other close characters that are just as exciting to read about. This book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and will pick up in the next book, Wayward Sons, MC: West. Trust me when I say you do not want to miss out on this story or the next.
March 17, 2025
This is the first MC book I've read so wasn't sure what to expect. But I loved it!!!
The way that Eve draws you into the story and life of Billie/Goldilocks and West makes it seem like the story is playing out right in front of me and I can't wait to see what happens next. The emotions that are evoked are so raw and heartbreaking at times and you just want them to be able to work through it all. I can't wait for the Wayward Sons: West!

Eve Marcoux has a way with words. Her stories will hook you and you won’t be able to put them down. I don’t usually read biker books, but I loved this one. I was sucked in from the very beginning. She definitely makes you feel all the feels with the many twists and turns. The world building made me feel like I was really there through every aspect of the book. Very well written! I enjoyed reading Billie and West’s story and I am looking forward to book 2.
March 22, 2025
Holy heck another masterpiece from Eve. This one kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Like who needs sleep right 🤣.
West and Billie still have along way to go with their relationship I think but I believe they will get there and West will finally realize that there is enough room in his heart for Billie as well as the loves he lost.
Can't wait for book 2 I need more West and Billie

Billie & West: “a mosaic of broken and beautiful”.
This was raw, powerful and gutting from the first chapter. The motorcycle club and mafia lifestyles were so realistically woven. It made the traumas even more tangible. The plot moves fast while you grapple with these intense evolving characters. What an awesome start to a series can’t wait to see where this goes. Mind your triggers and beware the cliff.

I was hooked in chapter 1. Billie and West have an instant connection that is HOT HOT HOT! This is a MC romance that will solve all of you SOA withdrawals. Absolutely loved this book and will definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone!
March 27, 2025
This was my first dive into MC genre and it did not disappoint!!! I was hooked, the characters, the back stories and histories all intertwined....had my refusing to put it down! Our girl Eve loves to leave us on a cliffhanger so now I have to impatiently wait until the next installment!
September 8, 2025
I was able to really picture myself there, as if I was one of the characters, Eve had me captured from the beginning! I could not put it down! Can not wait to read more books from this author! Absolutely loved it!!!
March 18, 2025
I ADORED this book!! West….UGH THIS MAN!! The dominance, but also the sweet protectiveness.🥹 I am obsessed with this book! Eve can do no wrong!

This biker romance gave me all the things I never knew I needed. We got this hot motorcycle man Wes who is struggling. He can’t decide if he wants to be a jerk or a knight. He is every good girl’s dirty fantasy. Then here comes Billie who is just as troubled as Wes. Poor thing is a really bad bitch deep down but is learning how to come to terms with her own dark past. When these two come together, it’s a blast in more ways than one. I couldn’t put this book down. There was twist and turns and spice. Love the spice. Got me ready to buy a hog and become someone’s Old Lady. For ppl who don’t know, a hog is a motorcycle and they call their girlfriends their Old Lady. Anyway, read this book. You will be trying to prospect (join) a motorcycle club by the end of the reading.

Eve knocks another one out of the park. This book was such an amazing read. I honestly loved it. I couldn't put it down. The intense attraction between West and Billie gave me goosebumps. Seeing them heal each other from their pasts in a very unconventional very mafia/MC way was brilliant. It was perfect for them. This book has so much. Second chances, action, steam so much steam. I cannot wait for book two. Seriously go read this book. You will not be disappointed

This is the first of Eve’s MC series, Wayward Sons. The way this book sucked me in!
West and Goldilocks (Billie) have this meeting on the beach that starts their chaotic, steamy emotional story.
As always, the interaction between Eve’s characters is hands down…BRILLIANT! The banter she is able to produce is out of this world and this has plenty of action and steam.
Whether you’re a MC connoisseur or looking to venture into the MC books—look no further than this book!!
Now I just need it to be an audiobook too! 😆
