Big Beautiful Woman meets Bad Boy Biker
What does a meek, plump housewife in sensible-heeled shoes do when stranded on a desolate highway after running away from home? She hitches a ride back to civilization with a hot biker, that's what! And so what if she has to stay overnight in a disgusting motel room that has half a mirror on the ceiling above the only bed? I'm an adult. I can handle it. I mean, she can!


A steamy contemporary BBW romance series about an older woman who meets a younger man—a bad boy enforcer for a notorious motorcycle gang. Neither realize they're looking for a second chance at life—and love—until they get to know each other intimately. Each story is self-contained and includes at least one sexy scene, so consider yourself warned as this couple get intimate outdoors and in!

Be sure to read the next book in the series Grim Reaper (Lady Godiva 2) and Third Wheel (Lady Godiva 3) is coming soon!

I just did't enjoy this one. I know it's erotica but I don't feel like the characters connected at all. Honestly I don't even remember their names anymore and I just finished it. Did they even mention names? Can't remember.

She runs away because her husband and kids forgot her birthday. I get wanting a way from a husband that ignores her but why doesn't she just divorce him?

Biker just picks her up and keeps asking her to ask him to have sex with her. First she says no because she's married but he doesn't really care if she's married.

Just-- this one wasn't for me. I didn't get bored, so that's a good thing and I think I could've liked it more if the characters would've had some conversations besides sex, like where does he live? Why was she in the road? Where are they going from there?

This may have been a quick read but it was really well written and full of sexual energy.

All up a really good read and enjoyable story. I would like to continue on with the series.

Adult biker series with sexual encounters, Short read.
Gave one star less, because the story "flow" was "choppy" .
Liked the Reaper character 😎

Biker Babe is quick read about a lonely middle aged housewife whose husband takes her for granted and taught their two children to treat her the same way. She finally has enough and decides to disappear which she thinks will be easy because her family treats he like she is invisible anyway. The poor woman has a terrible time of it though. First her car breaks down, then someone stops (she thinks to help her) and robs her. Finally a young man stops to give her a ride - on his motorcycle. There is quite an attraction between the two of them.

I liked this well written sexy story. I felt sorry for the woman and her disappointment with her family as well as feeling unappreciated. I loved that the heroine was a 40 year old BBW housewife. It was nice to see her finally stand up for herself and leave her family. I found it a little hard to believe that the young, hunky biker found her so attractive because the author stressed her over weight issue repeatedly. It would have been more acceptable if her body changed because she'd had two pregnancies and was curvy but not stress her excess dumpiness.

There's a reason for my generous rating. Truth, I just absolutely enjoyed this read! Yes, it's super short. Yes, there's not enough "depth" to the characters or to even the storyline. However, it's a story I was in the mood for, it's a fantasy I enjoy reading about, I'm an addict to bikers, the sex in this book was HOT and I liked how this story worked out!

I really liked the bbw main character. She was real!!! She is real!!! I loved that she wasn't bitchy! That part in the motel room when she wasn't complaining & fighting... I had a lot of respect for her - she wasn't stupid, you know? And the thoughts she thought - funny as fuck!!! But she was also totally relateable!!!

And the mysterious biker - we don't even know his name but he was surely sexy as hell!!! "Ask me and I'll fuck you." Yeah! Best line ever!!!

There could have been more, sure, the ending was a little too abrupt (but there's part 2 & 3 I believe) but for me, I liked it a lot. A quick sexy read about escaping life with a biker and all the naughty fun in between.

OMG...I loved this book. I couldn't stop reading. This book hooked me from the very first. Lonely housewife whose husband just takes what he wants and doesn't care if she is satisfied or not, has taught the kids to treat her like she is invisible as well. She decides to just disappear and ends up really finding herself for a change, on the back of a bike with a gorgeous younger man too. It takes her a while to believe that he could possibly find her sexy or attractive, but once she finally lets loose she finds what she has been missing all those lonely years. She still tries to do the right thing and go back to her husband and horrible life, only to find the husband's girlfriend leaving when she comes home....so goodbye hubby and hello stud on the back of the bike, lets have an adventure.

A different take on M.C. romance. I liked the idea of an older woman no longer satisfied with her life, branching out and finding happiness. The fact that it happened while she was still married made me squirm a bit.
What starts off as an emotional exodus goes wrong when the heroine’s car dies, and she’s robbed. It’s almost a comedy of errors, except none of it’s amusing. Then she meet’s a sexy young biker who tempts her and adds an element of danger and the unknown.
This story lacks a lot of detail. I never knew the names of any of the characters, or more in-depth information. Told in a first person perspective, it only gave the barebones of what was going on, which didn’t do it for me personally.

This is your typical quick-read, readable porn type story.

Perfect for the middle-aged housewives who need these books to live vicariously through.
While these books tend to be a dime a dozen, I'd say this one stands out as better than the bulk of them.
Characters were actually developed.
There was a plot.
Editing was fairly well done.
Continuity flows well.

Not super hot, in my opinion, but to each her own.
If you're into this kind of thing then - try this one. It's fairly well done and definitely more effort was put into it than others I've read like it.

Not bad by any means, just not my cup of tea.

If you like humor in your books, then you will enjoy this one.
It follows an older housewife whose husband hasn't noticed her in years and whose kids have left for college. Everything comes to a head when they all forgot her fortieth birthday. She picks up her keys, purse, and phone and leaves.
But on her journey, she meets a hot, younger biker and she gets a taste of what she has been missing out on in her life.
Really enjoyed this book and can't wait to get stuck into book two.

Hot Biker Attraction

This woman had been ignored and taken advantage of by her family. She had enough and drove off. Her car broke down and she was robbed. A sexy hot biker res used her. She had trouble believing that such a young hot guy was turned on by her. He proved he was and she ran off with him. I love these stories about men being so hot for a woman who isn't all skin and bones and has curves.

This was a hot little read about a bored curvy housewife who has had it with her aloof husband and disrespectful college aged children and flies the coop. She gets in her car and drives until she runs out of gas and is assisted by a sexy younger biker who seduces her and shows her new life. Sexy sexy times!

Quite an interesting book. There isn't a lot of discussion between the characters but it doesn't detract from the story. The heroines thoughts paint a sad picture of her life and marriage up to this point. The Hero really is just a catalyst that opens her eyes to the reality and possibilities of the future.

Alone on a road at night with her broke down car she is robbed at gun point and picked up by a biker. She leaves her world behind and her husband and her 2 collage age kids and hits the road with the biker.

This is a good read for those late night when you can't sleep and want something to relax you.

Short, Sweet, and Sexy

Short, Sweet, and Sexy sums this read up perfectly. A romantic read when you need just a little you time before heading back into the real world. Great little read to get lost in for awhile...

Very Good

I think this just might be every lonely, unappreciated middle-aged woman who is stuck in a dry, boring, loveless marriage. The bad boy image that takes her away from that. A box boy who is rough and gentle at the same time. It was an entertaining story.

Find a good editor

There were so many typos in this book it took way from the story. Thank goodness it was free. I wouldn't want to pay for it.
