Two wrongs, don’t make a right. Right??? 🤣
Rachel an avid book reader decides it would be a good idea to kidnap a biker, those books combined with socials can lead to all sorts of naught behaviour 🤭 Fortunately, her best friend Noah tries to drill some sense into into her, except her biker has already escaped his ropes and called for back up in the form of his friend. Turns out Kai enjoyed his little foray and has decided to make it his mission to deal a little payback to Rachel. Thus we are thrust into a tit for tat between the pair 🤣

It could be a one sitting read if you aren’t constantly interrupted 🙄 Anna pulls you straight in from the start, with their banter, the humour which at times made me laugh out loud (no inside voice 😉), their stalking, the obsessive sometimes jealous behaviour but Kai only has one goal and ensures he pursues it avidly. I loved the back n forth with these two, the inner dialogue is at times hilarious but exactly what you’d do in r/l plus also in the background we have Noah enjoying himself 😉 It’s a great palette cleanser with spicy times that touches on 🐝DSM.

"Oh, God! I could get arrested! Nope, don't go there, Rachel. You will be fine. You didn't do anything wrong. You just gave the guy a ride...to your house...without asking...and tied him to a chair. Yeah, I am definitely going to prison."
How every love story should begin, kidnapping. 😂 I love the banter and dark humour Anna Ioannidi put into this amazing book! Especially how the story unfolds and grows between Kai and Rachel, but a bonus for their best friend's as well.
Soaked up the trigger warnings with the stalking, practice of BDSM, and other consensual acts to name a few. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! PRE-ORDER NOW!
Thank you, Anna Ioannidi.

I received this book as an Advanced Copy from the author:
How to Not Kidnap a Biker by Anna Ioannidi is the kind of book that grabs you by the collar, winks, and drags you straight into chaos… and somehow makes you laugh the entire way down.
This story is pure delightful disaster energy. Rachel, fueled by bad decisions and worse internet advice, decides kidnapping a biker is a solid life choice. Enter Kai, who doesn’t just go along with it… he practically rolls out the welcome mat for his own abduction. What follows is a deliciously unhinged dance of obsession, humor, and “wait… why is this actually working?”
The chemistry? Electric. Not the soft, candlelit kind either. This is neon signs flickering in a back alley at midnight, buzzing with tension and bad ideas. Rachel’s awkward determination collides perfectly with Kai’s chaotic, intrigued energy, creating a dynamic that’s equal parts hilarious and dangerously addictive.
What really makes this book shine is its balance. It struts between dark themes and rom-com absurdity without ever losing its footing. One moment you’re laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of the situation, the next you’re side-eyeing the emotional depth creeping in like a shadow with something to say.
And let’s be honest, the premise alone deserves applause. A kidnapping that turns into an invitation? A biker who’s into it? It’s bold, bizarre, and executed with just the right amount of bite.
If you love:
• Morally questionable characters you can’t help but root for
• Dark humor wrapped in romantic tension
• “This is a terrible idea” plots that somehow become irresistible
Then buckle up, because this book is a wild, glitter-splattered crash you won’t want to escape.
Final verdict: unhinged, addictive, and ridiculously fun. This isn’t just a romance… it’s a beautifully chaotic what did I just read and why did I love it so much experience. 💜

Kidnapping gone wrong (or right?).
My very first ARC! Thank you so much, Anna Ioannidi. I hope my review will help other readers pick up this book.
First things first: whoever said “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is clearly not a reader. The art and colors are so pretty—well done to the creator!
Second, a note to self: do not read (and I repeat, do not read) in bed with your sleeping husband next to you. He will resent you in the morning after you’ve interrupted his sleep multiple times because you couldn’t stop yourself from snorting out loud. Let me just say, the comedy is on point.
The inner dialogue was sometimes too funny. References to Pokémon and Scooby-Doo? Perfect. Lovable gay/bi side characters with a lot of sass? Absolutely divine!
As for the story, Anna doesn’t waste our time. I mean, the biker is already kidnapped from the very start! He’s already tied up (or maybe not…). Straight to the point—I like it!
Rachel is a quirky FMC with (imo) zero survival skills and very questionable decision-making. But we support it! Kai is your typical biker, with tattoos covering his body—the brooding type. But for her? He’s a freaking golden retriever. Yet he’s still a possessive alpha male, and we love that.
I read the book in one sitting, way into the night, because I couldn’t put it down. I was too invested in their love story to see how it would turn out. I loved that Rachel wasn’t your typical “damsel in distress.” When Kai stalked her, she stalked him right back. He pops up at her workplace—well, what do you think happens?
As for the spice, most of it was in his POV, which I think isn’t very common (or at least not in the books I’ve read so far). So that’s a big plus!
My honest opinion? It was a very good read, full of banter between the MCs and between them and the side characters (who will hopefully get their own story). The spice was spicing—nothing disappointing there.
For me, though, the ending felt rushed. I feel like it could have been a bit longer and more spread out, with more details. Or maybe it’s just me not wanting their story to end.
As for the plot, don’t expect a big story with lots of events happening outside the small world of the MCs. But the events that do happen fit the story so well that it doesn’t disappoint either.
I would definitely reread this book, and I want a physical copy—because seriously, that cover looks amazing!

Review of advance copy received from Author
Let me just start by saying that I COULD NOT put this book down. I read it in a couple hours as it was part mystery (was Kai dangerous, what was Kai going to do next i.e. break into Rachel's apartment... again). The beginning of the story had me laughing so hard, with Rachel kidnapping a biker because she saw it in a TikTok video! I can relate to this as I have read so many books and seen a lot of different stories and could understand how the stories/TikTok piqued her interest in kidnapping Kai. Little did she know, she kidnapped someone who actually liked it (she did a horrible job at it by the way), and basically got off on it. Although Kai had some red flags (his ex had a restraining order against him, he installed cameras in Rachel's apartment without her consent and was watching in on her, which could be seen as cute at times). I really like Rachel's character, as she is very relatable from her and Noah's book obsession (book club), to her honesty, even if it wasn't the most polite thing (i.e. she was into some kink). From the first page, Rachel knew what she wanted and boy did she get it in Kai, she just fought it for quite awhile, and rightfully so! I also like Noah and Rachel's relationship throughout this book. Noah is the best friend that I feel like everyone strives to have. They have each other's back, and will always follow the other through fire as needed. The other note on the storyline that I could not stop thinking about throughout, is how social media can influence people's actions like this. This can be said about Kai as much as it can about Rachel, as Kai livestreamed a video after he was "kidnapped" so Leo would rescue him. Even though he had everything under control. The underlying humor throughout the book was great too as it had me laughing (especially Kai/Leo's relationship)! Can't wait to read another by Anna Ioannidi.
Review of advance copy
5 STAR ARC READ✨️
From the very first chapter, I was completely invested in How to Not Kidnap a Biker by Anna Ioannidi.
The humour in this read is sharp, and the banter is effortless.
The FMC Rachel’s is chaotic, and her unhinged energy makes every scene entertaining. She’s bold, hilarious, and I love her character so much! 🤌🏼
The MMC Kai brings a mix of charm, mischief, and intensity that makes every interaction feel sizzling.
There’s a playful, teasing dynamic between the two of them that keeps the tension high and keeps you turning those pages. MY WORD!!! 👌🏼🔥
I also love the balance and pace in this book. One moment I’m laughing, the next I’m swooning, and then suddenly I’m pausing like… okay, that might be a little unhinged. And I mean that in the best way. I LOVE UNHINGED CHAOS!!!
There are moments where the behaviour leans slightly into morally gray territory, and instead of pushing me away, it actually made the dynamic more interesting and addictive to read. Not the I ever shy away from the morally gray aspects. 😉
Sidenote: I need to note that the friendships in this book is perfection. Noah’s friendship with Rachel; and Kai's friendship with Leo, adds so much warmth and humour makeing the read so much fun.
Sneaky little quote: “Jesus Christ. You found a woman as crazy as you.”
“Technically, she found me.”
And we need a moment for the gesture behind Ripley. 🖤
If you Iiked Lights Out by Navessa Allen, you'll like this book for sure. 👀👏🏼

ARC Review
How to Not Kidnap a Biker by Anna Ioannidi
Rachel Roberts is a bookworm with a slightly concerning love for social media… the kind that convinces you that yes, you can kidnap a biker if you just follow enough tutorials. So she does. Not her best decision.
Luckily for her, the biker she kidnaps—Kai—doesn’t press charges. Unfortunately (or maybe not), he’s just as unhinged as she is. Kai, who co-owns a sports bar, basically treats the whole situation like an invitation into her life… and never really leaves.
Both Rachel and Kai have their own intimacy issues, but somehow their shared chaos and obsessive energy make them weirdly perfect together.
This might actually be my favorite dark romantic comedy right now. The characters are wildly entertaining, completely unpredictable, and honestly a little unhinged in the most fun way. Starting the story with a kidnapping was such a bold choice, and it worked so well. Their chemistry felt natural despite how insane everything around them was.
Rachel’s inner monologue was probably my favorite part—it added so much humor and personality. The book is full of funny lines, and the focus stays strongly on their relationship and their chaotic dynamic.
If you enjoy kidnapping romance with a dark comedic twist, this one is definitely worth picking up.
I highly recommend it.

Review of advance copy
*****I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I was honestly really excited after reading the blurb for this book. It gave me the impression that it would have a vibe similar to Lights Out, and that definitely raised my expectations. Unfortunately, while reading, I realized it was not that kind of book at all.
The story definitely had potential, and I truly think it could have been a good book, but not in the way it was written here. From the very beginning, it felt like this would have worked much better as a novella. In a shorter format, the story might have been tighter and more effective, but as it is, it just did not come together for me.
I could not understand the setting, I could not connect with the characters, and I honestly did not even fully understand how the story began. Everything felt unclear. The book moved forward almost entirely through character dialogue, and unfortunately, that was not enough to build the world, the plot, or the emotional depth.
That is what disappointed me the most, because there was real potential here. It could have been a very good book, but sadly, the execution weakened everything that could have made it stand out.

Review of advance copy
I don’t usually read biker books or dark romance but the synopsis of this one was just too ridiculous to pass over. And it was certainly a ridiculous (and enjoyable) book. No, this wouldn’t work in real life and I’m definitely not going to go looking for my own biker to catch (*cough* kidnap). Just accept the silliness and go along for the ride. Both main characters make several questionable life choices (or maybe they only make questionable life choices?) and use stalking and kidnapping as romantic overtures. Each has a friend who attempts to act as a voice of reason (and I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Noah and Leo’s story) but is no match for the wave of insanity that is Rachel and/or Kai. It all comes together as a hilarious story.
There were a few scenes/elements that didn’t do it for me personally but I’m pretty sure those were to check off the “dark romance” aspect that I don’t generally enjoy anyway. And there were a few times where I found the narrative was a bit repetative. But the grammar/spelling was solid and overall I thought it was worth reading.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I received this book as part of an early read.
Truthfully, I absolutely loved this book.
It grabs you instantly with utter chaos and humour. I read it in one sitting and couldn't put it down.
There is a bit of the darker element which I loved and I'm not ashamed to say I laughed out loud at quite a few parts.
The interactions between characters was great.
I only gave 4 stars as I found it slightly rushed (not enough to make it DNF worthy) but in terms of character development I think there could have been more. But I think thats down to personal preference..
You don't truly get to know the main characters until quite later on in the book in terms of why they may be so unhinged.
But the plot, the dialogue was great and I really enjoyed it. Also seems like a bit of a manual on how to kidnap a biker, and as a happily married woman, I am debating on attempting it (for science).
Overall great book and I did love it.

This was sent to me as a Arc read by the author.
3.5 ⭐️ for me but I loved it just a few small bug bears
who said 2 wrongs dont make a right?...
this book literally pulls you in at the first page and doesn't stop delivering!
its about a woman who is obsessed with her biker MMCs in her books and decides to kidnap one... this ends in him having a obsession with her! they play each other at there own games!
this is so good its lighthearted, comical, romantic and i mean Kai is the ideal man in everyway!
it was a really good book for me after alot of dark romances latley a lovley quick pallet cleanse that doea the job.
only thing I wasn't keen on is the pet name especially in the chapter towards the end it seemed to stop the flow a little for me, and I would have wanted more from the epilogue, that did seem to stop abruptly.
other than that I really enjoyed this book and highly reccomend it for a good rom-com

I am an Anna Ioannidi fan. Her story ideas/plots are right up my alley. Anna’s translations to relaxed English is getting better with each book she writes—she is originally from Greece. There’s some imperfections, but the stories are great. The stories are campy, the banter is fantastic, the humor makes me laugh out loud, the steam is tummy tingling, and Kai & Rachel are perfectly unhinged for each other. *** Recommended ***

The FMC, Rachel, in this book is an avid reader and while watching 'trends' gets the idea to kidnap a biker. This goes completely wrong but lucky for her, he is just as crazy as she is.
The MMC, Kai, that she kidnaps is the perfect amount of obsessed that we love in our morally grey men. From the moment he meets Rachel he is in it for the long run and will do anything to get her onboard with that plan as well.
This was such an easy read - great banter and a good laugh. Usually I'm not into the 'insta' love but totally get it with these two as they are both unhinged.
• Biker x Reader
• Kidnapping
• Stalking
• BDSM
The chemistry and banter between these characters is chefs kiss - I swear none of them has their heads screwed on right.
This was a short(ish), easy read and exactly what I needed. It was the perfect holiday read as I could easily pick it up whenever I had some spare time.
I'm really hoping the side characters get their own book as I loved them just as much as the main ones.

I received this book as an advance Copy from the author.
How to Not Kidnap a Biker lives up to what it is a dark romantic comedy. It hooked me from page one and I was giggling and blushing all the way till the end.
The story is hot and fast. The characters were so much fun. Rachel is a book girly with very questionable decision making logic. She decides to Kidnap a biker because of the tutorials she had been seeing on social media 😅 what could go wrong?
Enter Kai... the hit, blue haired, tattoo biker who unwittingly was the victim to Rachel's bad decision... but is he really a victim? Who did she actually Kidnap and why isn't he as bothered as he should be?
absolutely loved it. this book moves fast and I loved every second of it.

One of the best dark romance comedies I have read in a while. Beautifully written, Smooth transitions from one chapter to another. Love the main characters as well as the secondary characters (you can't help but love them). Chapters 13 and 14 were unexpected but I loved it. The one liners are funny, actually had me laughing out loud. The spicy bits are perfect and the HEA was perfect too with no cliffhangers

This book was a sweet stalking romance. There was one scene that made me busting out laughing. Drunk Leo and Kai was funny especially when you add into the mix a horrible plan that could go wrong. I wish I had a friendship like Noah and Rachel. Noah is the calm to Rachel's chaos and it makes for some funny problems when all 4 characters get together. This book has a HEA with bonuses depending on how you look at it. This is a book you would want to read if you need a pick me up.

Review of advance copy
This girl needs to send me the tutorial she saw on TikTok about how to kidnap a biker, because if he were like Kai, I’d definitely be kidnapping one too.
The fact that she kidnapped the poor guy, then he proceeds to stalk her, and she stalks him back they’re perfect for each other in a very unhinged way.
“You are mine, and you will eventually learn that, little criminal,” he tells me......
“I don’t belong to you,”
“Yes, you are. You belonged to me from the fucking moment you decided to kidnap me, little criminal, and I will spend every fucking day proving to you exactly that.”
