Charmed By The Biker by Darch Rose is an insta-love romance with a twist of danger that makes the connection between Dean and Aubrey hit even harder—because this time, love isn’t just fast… it’s risky.

Aubrey first meets Dean on one of the messiest, most emotionally charged nights of her life: the night she crashes her ex’s wedding. What starts as a reckless, freeing one-night stand turns into something neither of them expects. By morning, Dean is gone—but the memory of him lingers long after the sheets cool. For Aubrey, it becomes one of those moments you replay when life gets quiet. For Dean, it’s the woman he can’t forget, no matter how far he rides.

Three months later, Dean is back in town—and this time, he’s not leaving easily.

He shouldn’t be there at all. He’s running from an MC that wants him dead after he did the one thing he couldn’t walk away from: saving a girl who needed help. Coming back puts a target on his back, and the last thing he wants is Aubrey anywhere near that danger. But wanting her and protecting her turn out to be the same thing… and letting her go is no longer an option.

What makes this story so emotionally engaging is the pull between them. Their connection didn’t fade with time—it sharpened. Aubrey isn’t just drawn to Dean’s bad-boy exterior; she sees the man underneath, the one who would burn his own life down to do the right thing. Dean, in turn, is torn between keeping Aubrey safe by staying away and needing her in a way that feels inevitable.

Set against a cozy small-town backdrop with real danger closing in, Charmed By The Biker blends heat, heart, and tension beautifully. It’s fast, spicy, and deeply satisfying, with a possessive, protective hero who falls hard—and a heroine worth risking everything for.

If you love insta-love with history, a biker hero with a conscience, and a romance where the past comes roaring back at full throttle, this book will absolutely charm you.

Charmed by the Biker by Darcy Rose and Ruby Capri is a novella with instant love between Dean and Aubrey. From meeting at a wedding, to Dean needing to come back to see her, Aubrey is instantly attracted to the moody biker. The memory of Dean sticks with Aubrey and their one night replays in her mind. Dean comes back to town, following the ghosts of their night and he does not plan on leaving as easily as he did the first time.

Dean is running from a motorcycle club after he goes against their rules. They notice his new obsession and Aubrey is suddenly in more danger than she expected. Dean wants to protect her, but Aubrey isn't scared of backing down. Aubrey sees the person Dean is and refuses to let go. Dean is running from his past, but refuses to let go his new connection. Dean is torn between keeping her safe and wanting her for himself.

This small-town romance is the perfect novella for a romance coming at you full throttle. The passion between Dean and Aubrey as well as the action in this book will have you reading it in one sitting. The authors give a great story for this cute biker romance.

[Grinning Cat · Rating 2 out of 5]

I had high hopes for this one because I love MC Romance. But this book was too problematic. The story was uninteresting- mostly Dean soft stalking Aubrey and then pushing her away for her own protection. Repeatedly. The suspense plot completely lacked substance and weight and was solved by a Deus Ex Machina that was so easy, convenient, and Kumbaya that it was insulting.
One character, Bane, shows up at the end and he’s Dean’s brother, whom everyone is welcoming like we should know him immediately, when it was never even mentioned that Dean had a brother.
There was no cheating, which is normally a plus, but honestly, the characters were so cardboard that I didn’t much care.
The sexytime was odd. Some of the language of it was explicit, but generally the sexytime was started and then either glossed over or rushed to the extreme. It never really gelled and was definitely more fizzle than sizzle.
In short, the book was boring, clichéd, and poorly executed.

She wants the bad boy biker
Aubrey met Dean at a wedding and they had one crazy night but when she woke, he was gone. Now three months later he’s back in town and Aubrey wants to know why he left her. can she trust him to not disappear again??
Dean knew it was dangerous to come back to crystal Falls. He had his former biker group after him and he knew he should keep on the move but he just couldn’t forget the crazy night with Aubrey.
Can these two stay apart?? Will Dean move on? Or will he stay to be with Aubrey and fight his past??
These two are like magnets they cannot stay apart the passion they stay as of the charts but it’s the connection that is the biggest part of this book for me. A real enjoyable Read.

Short but addictive so hang on you won’t put it down until the last page has been turned. Audrey and Dean instant attraction they first meet at a wedding the magnetic pull couldn’t be ignored despite his moody attitude to her that pull lead to a one night of passion, one that lives rent free in both their thoughts, and hearts. Fast forward Dean is on the run from the MC club after going against their rules knowing they will go after his girl he has to get there to protect her but she isn’t letting him face it alone because she sees him but all he wants to do is keep her safe and for the first time he was to do something for himself, but will he be able to protect her, will his club come for him through her, and will they find happiness somewhere along the way?

What do you get when DarcyRose and Ruby Capri collaborate on a book? You get the most delectable plot of a rugged biker bad boy and a small-town girl! From the very beginning, you’re thrown into the whirlwind of a live story that’s bound to end in a way you can’t predict. You’re running from a pass, but you love something so much that you wonder what you’ll do. Will you walk away or stay and fight for that love? In this story, you’ll find just that, along with a twist and the beginning of the next book. You’ll fall in love with the way it’s beautifully written and the depth of each character. You’ll simply get lost in this beautiful story.

Loved the chemistry between Dean and Aubrey! She's a small-town girl, the kind where everyone knows everyone else's business (including her). Dean by contrast is a closed book. Hes running from a past he needs to stay ahead of - for safety. Still, he cant bring himself to leave her again. The banter and interactions were relateable, as were the situations. It was easy to get drawn into their lives and the threats present. They wanted to stay together, but that meant ensuring he was safe. Maybe easier said than done... maybe.

I was gifted a copy of this book and voluntarily provided this review. Happy Reading Y'all 📚

This book had some great parts. But it also had some parts that felt too rushed, presumably because its a novella, and it had some dialog that felt really cheesy in the situation. There were some great lines and dialogue but some felt too awkward and forced for the amount of time they knew each other and the really limited interactions.

Favorite Quote:"If I wanted safe, I wouldn't have invited you here."

[Syd Springer · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book two in this series and I can't wait to read more! I really enjoyed Dean and Aubrey together. These two only had one night together but that night never left their thoughts. Dean decided to get the woman on his heart and mind but he has to show her that he means to stick around while also running from his former club. These two were great together and I really enjoyed the connection, tension, love and HEA that these two get.

Aubrey & biker Dean have one hot night together but that's all when Dean suddenly leaves. Only for months later he's back and brings with him the reason he left in the first place - a violent MC. When Dean's past collides with his present and Aubrey gets caught up in the middle of it all. Things become problematic for both of them. A quick, heartwarming and steamy read with characters I really liked.

This book surprised me on how the action kept me on the edge of my seat and how these two come together, and were able to combat what the MC was running from. The chemistry between these two is spicy and fun to read, and the plot is well thought out and well-written. I enjoyed this book can't wait to read more from this author.

This novella was a fast paced, small town, insta love romance. And I loved every minute of it. Dean and Aubrey were intense. The danger that Dean ran into had me on the edge of my seat. The spice was perfect. There were perfect. This novella was perfect. But I wanted more. I needed more.

Hiding out

Dean is hiding out after breaking the rules. He and Aubrey had a connection neither could forget about but not wanting to put her in danger he tries to push her away. I liked she didn't back down. And Savannah was funny and we get a teaser of her upcoming story

[Good Booking Girl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another quick, steamy love story that actually has a plot! Sometimes these novellas are all spice and just a faint plot - this is not the case here. There is a moment where I was confused as the story line jumped a bit too far but it recovered quickly.

Enjoy!

This short small town romance novella had some great parts. But it also had some parts that felt too rushed. It did have good parts but I just couldn’t get into this book.
