Dodge

Devil's Tide MC #1

by B. Sobjakken

Autumn

My life has never been easy. Everything that can go wrong, usually does.

So when I’m left with no job and no place to stay, the offer of help from the local motorcycle club is too good to turn down.

After all, I’m only going to nanny a little girl. What could go wrong with that? Other than her dad being the hottest man I’ve ever met.

Dodge

I have a thing for my nanny.

Out of options, I accept the help of an outsider, and it may just be my undoing.

I can’t look away from her and how she treats my little girl like her own.

Settling down with a family wasn’t on my radar, but I can’t ignore the temptation to make Autumn mine.

While the Devil’s Tide Motorcycle Club looks out for their own and pitches in, Road Captain for the club, Dodge, is a single dad running on fumes.

It’s serendipitous when a down-on-her-luck college early education student stops in Tink’s bar looking to charge her phone and pull it together.

When Autumn agrees to nanny Winnie, she didn’t plan to fall for her daddy. But that’s exactly what happened. She fell hard and fast, and so did Winnie and Dodge. 

Lots to love with this one and all its yummy tropes. While not a ton of action or MC-related storyline, we're treated to found family and the protectiveness that you expect from an MC.

I devoured this in one sitting! Sooooo hot!!!! Brooke always writes the best palette cleanser books and she gave us a daddddyyyy🥵👏🏻

Dodge is a member of the Devils Tide MC and he’s in desperate need of a nanny for his 1yr old daughter. Autumn is starting her life over and needs a job and place to stay. They click immediately and my god were they hot! This book was quick, fun and so spicy. I loved seeing the characters from Claiming the Club Princess in this one. I can’t wait for more in this series!

Thank you so much, B. Sobjakken and The Smuthood for this ARC🩷

4.5🌟, 3🌶️

I am way too weak for a grumpy biker single dad romance.

Dodge pulled me in almost immediately, but honestly, Winnie completely stole my heart. Autumn fit so naturally into their little world, and watching Dodge slowly get attached to her while pretending he wasn’t already gone for her was easily my favorite part of the book.

I really liked the mix of protective biker energy, found family moments, and spice. Dodge had that rough, possessive MC vibe, but underneath all of that he was surprisingly soft when it came to Autumn and his daughter. The chemistry between them was instant, and even though everything moved pretty fast, I still found myself genuinely invested in their relationship and rooting for them the whole time.

I do wish the story had been a little longer because I wanted more buildup, more depth, and honestly just more time with these characters. The MC world and side characters were so fun that I wasn’t ready to leave yet.

This book was such a fun mix of spice, sweetness, and biker drama.

Dodge is a member of the Devils Tide MC club. He finds himself in need of a Nanny for this daughter who is only 1. Autumn needs a new start and a place to get herself back on track.

The spark is immediate and they burn up the pages. This is a short spicy read but that does not distract from the story at all.

This is a fantastic start to a new series and I cannot wait for book 2.

Volvemos a la serie Devil’s Tide y aunque este sea el primer libro de la serie, hubo un 0.5 Claiming the Club Princess (una novela tabú, padrastro, hermanastro…🔥)

Aquí nos cuenta la historia de Autumn que llega a nueva a la ciudad, una mochila donde ha guardado toda su vida y aparece en el apartamento que supuestamente ha alquilado, pero que resulta ser una estafa, así que entra en el pub que hay frente, para poder cargar su móvil y la amable dueña del bar se compadece de ella e intenta ayudarla, le pregunta que es lo que sabe hacer y lo único que ella ha hecho ha sido de canguro, de hecho ha pedido traslado de universidad para continuar con sus estudios de docencia para niños. Y vaya, que conveniente, porque el pub en el que está es de moteros y uno de los capitanes del club, Dodge, padre soltero 😏 necesita una niñera…

Y bueno, aquí empiezan a pasar cosas, siempre lo digo, estas novelas cortas me dan la vida entre lecturas, me gusta como desarrolla la historia la autora, porque aunque sean novelas cortas, no sientes vacíos en la trama y se desarrollan al completo.

La relación entre Dodge y Autumn me ha encantado. Pero lo que más me gusta es el grupo de chat de los moteros 🤣

Sin duda B. Sobjakken sigue siendo apuesta segura para desconectar y disfrutar de una lectura ligera y con lo que nos gusta 😏🔥

It's a single dad x nanny romance! Honestly, I’m actually sad that it wasn't longer. I am absolutely IN LOVE with the single dad, aka Daddy Dodge! He was the sweetest girl dad, and his baby was soooo adorable!🥹❤️
And somehow, without even realizing it, I stumbled upon another guy with pierced 🍆Since it’s a short book, there wasn't a ton of chaos, but damn, it was absolute fire. I can’t wait for the rest of the series! 🔥

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4-Star Review — Dodge

If you’re in the mood for a fast, addictive MC read that doesn’t waste time getting to the tension, Dodge delivers exactly that.

This story leans hard into that forbidden dynamic—a hardened motorcycle club member stuck with a nanny he never asked for. From the start, you can feel the pull between them. It’s messy, it’s complicated, and they both know crossing that line is a bad idea… which honestly just makes it better when they finally do.

The chemistry? 🔥
We’re talking a solid 🌶️🌶️🌶️ spice level with just enough edge to keep it exciting without dragging the story down. And yes… the piercings definitely add to the appeal 🥵—it’s giving everything you want from a dominant, rough-around-the-edges MMC.

What really works here is how quick and to the point it is. No unnecessary filler, no slow dragging plot—just tension, attraction, and payoff. It’s the kind of book you pick up “for a few chapters” and suddenly you’re done.

And if you’re into a little extra kink… 👀
Let’s just say the breeding kink element is very much present and will either hook you in or completely sell you on the book.

Bottom line:
If you want a quick, steamy MC romance with a forbidden twist and instant chemistry, Dodge is absolutely worth the read.

[Emmy Wong · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely adored this book, I’ve read many nanny x single dad romances but never one where the father is in an MC (motorcycle club). I was super intrigued by the plot and B Sobjakken did not disappoint. It’s a very quick and easy read (just under 200 pages) filled with spicy times and sweet moments. Just a warning though, this is your average nanny x single dad romance but the daddy kink is MAJOR in this one, so if you’re uncomfortable, walk away here. I for one though, loved it, and there’s also a huge innocence and corruption kink thing, where she’s this younger girl who just got scammed out of a job and finds this older MC guy willing to take her in. The plot is good, pretty generic in my opinion, mostly just about them fighting the “forbiddeness” of their relationship and moving past it. Autumn was a sweet character, and she does have some character development as she moves past her insecurities. And my gosh Dodge was TO DIE FOR, like the mouth on this man?? I loved his whole caring b out overprotective “daddy” vibe and how he really was the sweetest father to Winnie (his daughter). There’s also a bunch of fun MC club shenanigans and there are some plot twists, but nothing too intense, overall just a spicy fun read. I give this a 4.5/5.

Dodge
By: B. Sobjakken

“Baby, we may be a bunch of dirty bikers, but we know how to get things done. Especially when we have our sights on something we want.”

Slumping into my chair, I roll my head back. I’m becoming a f***ing simp for my nanny, and she doesn’t even know the effect she has on me.

Dodge. My hot boss who I may or may not have a crush on. My beyond sexy roommate who I had a wet dream about. I caught him jacking off and moaning my name. This isn’t real life, and if it is, what am I going to do about it? How can I face him in the morning, knowing what I know now?

Looking for a fast pace motorcycle club romance? Meet Autumn and Dodge! Seeing Autumn take care of Dodge’s girl and Autumn falling in love with Winnie first is so freaking cute! Autumn never felt like she had a home she belonged too until she stumbled into the right bar and found her family. And when the spice hits it is so hot! Their story definitely is setting up for something bigger and I cannot wait to see where it goes!

Tropes:
MC Romance
Single Dad x Nanny
Daddy K!nk
Breed!ng K!nk
Pierced and Large
Found Family

Spice starts at: 50%

Spice: 3/4
Stars: 4.5/5

🌟ARC read🌟

Autumn moves to California on a scholarship and thinks she has everything set up, including a place to live. Turns out, it was a complete scam. She shows up with nowhere to go and no plan, which immediately had me stressed for her.

She ends up at a bar just trying to charge her phone and figure things out, and that’s where everything changes. She meets people connected to an MC club, and the bar owner mentions that one of the members is looking for a nanny. Enter Dodge.

Their attraction is instant, and once they give in… 🔥🥵 it definitely delivers on the spice.

I really liked the group dynamic and the side characters. The group chats were fun and added a lot to the story. It felt like a solid MC world, just not explored as deeply as I wanted.

My biggest issue is that it felt too short. I wanted more buildup, more detail, and more time with the characters. Everything moved pretty fast, especially considering the situation she was in and how quickly things progressed with Dodge.

That being said, if you’re here for a quick, spicy MC read with a nanny trope and a strong breeding kink element, this hits the mark.

This is a good start to the new series by B. Sobjakken.

We first meet Autumn, who is down on her luck and this seems to be a pattern for her life. If something can go wrong, it will go wrong for her. She’s been alone most of her life and when she finally thought she caught a break, it was just another roadblock in her life. However, she does catch a break when she cross paths with the Devil’s Tide MC. She accepts an offer to become a live-in nanny for Dodge’s one-year-old daughter. Dodge is the Road Captain for the Devil’s Tide MC and a single father. Autumn and Dodge both try to remain professional, but it quickly morphs into more.

This story is low angst and the MC is more of a background setting. This book focuses on family and is character driven. The FMC and MMC are written with relatable flaws, which encourages an emotional connection to the characters. This story is high-spice and moves quickly, and is a perfect palette cleanser. I enjoyed these characters and look forward to Creed’s story next.

[Trinket Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my first B. Sobjakken book, but it definitely won't be my last. I went into Dodge not really knowing what to expect, I just knew I loved the tropes, Hello MC Romance & Single Dad - SOLD!! It It was a quick spicy read that had me hooked. Dodge is the kind of character who grabs your attention immediately, he's dangerous, fiercely loyal, and a devoted Dad to his little cutie Winnie. But he's also struggling being part of the club, running his garage and being a father. He needs help, enter our nanny, Autumn. She's beautiful, young and new in town. She's down on her luck and needs a job so she can continue her studies, coincidence lands her in a biker bar where she's offered a nanny position.
The attraction is instant and Dodge really struggles trying to keep things professional, especially when she soon becomes his live-in nanny and his daughter is so in love with her. He starts to see Autumn as something much more. When they finally give in - oh my goodness was it good! Dodge discovers some new kinks he's into (hello Daddy) and Autumn is finally finding somewhere she feels she belongs and the family she's always wanted. As always with MC there's drama and action but also found family which I love! Especially their biker group chats! I can't wait to continue the series

[Yazzie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book in a full sitting! No waiting and delaying, I didn’t want to put it down.
Autumn and Dodge are very different people but with similar relationships regarding their parents.
They may not have a lot of blood family but that doesn’t make them completely alone. Dodge and his chosen family are nothing but supportive from the very beginning, even if it took a little liquid courage to reveal their desires.
I’m gutted it ended so soon and I’m left with alot of questions, and so many missed opportunities to see Winnie and her parents together! Yes parents because it was love at first sight with Autumn! I give it 4 stars and wished it was longer but I thoroughly enjoyed it and thankful to both the author and the Smuthood for letting me be one of the arc readers for this story! 🥰

[Britt ♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I originally beta read Dodge and then re-read once ARCs dropped and I could honestly go back to page 1 rn and start all over again bc this was GOOD! It was so hot and the relationship development between Dodge and Autumn was everything. The way little Winnie loved Autumn and vice versa 😩 my freaking heart!!!! I loved little Miss Winnie and Dodge calling her and Autumn his girls had me feral. Daddy was definitely taking care of his girls. The found family aspect for Autumn was so heartwarming too. I loved how the whole crew adopted her in like one of their own. Now back to Daddy Dodge….mans was LOVING Autumn referring to him as daddy and jumped at the chance to take that word into the bedroom and it was HOT 🥵 we love a big bad biker who falls for his sweet little nanny.

There isn’t a B. Sobjakken book I won’t devour!! 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

I ate up this motorcycle romance in one sitting!! Under 170 pages with a delicious pacing & spice that hit some of my favorite spicy microtropes!!!

Dodge is a single dad in the Devil’s Tide MC & he’s in desperate need of a nanny. When Autumn shows up in town down on her luck and looking for a job and place to live while she finishes her college degree it leads her right to Dodge & his daughter! These two were HOT, playful, & I loved the build up to their relationship & when it hits they are explosive together! 🔥 I mean, who doesn’t love the single dad x nanny trope?!?!

I can’t wait for this MC novella series to continue! Thank you so much, B. Sobjakken for this arc copy!

[Natasha · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love suspending my belief for a B Sobjakken read cause its fun every time! Dodge and Autumn were such a cute couple and it started so innocently and got spicy so quickly, as most Sobjakken books do.
Seeing Dodge and his daughter was so cute and everyone being worried about Dodge and Winnie separately and together was so cute, they just want Dodge to be back in action and Winnie to be protected. Reading the texts with Dodge and his friends got me so excited for the next books cause i felt like I was picking up some future tropes and pairings.
I loved meeting all the new people in the MC cause theres so many future stories
As for the spice, i dont have a daddy kink personally, but this one didnt give me the ick (respectfully) some i feel like lean more into the dd/LG but just say daddy kink, this was firmly daddy kink to me and i liked it. It transfered well but there was a good seperation from when autumn is babysitting to spicy time and it didnt feel icky

Thank you to b Sobjakken for allowing me to ARC read!

Amazing

Autumn just moved to a new town to find out she had been scammed. When she walked into a bar to try to charge her phone her life was about to change. She got an interview for a nanny with the Devil Tides MC for Dodge. Dodge is just trying to do right by his daughter. When Autumn moves in with them can he keep his hands to himself? This book was amazing. I want to go back and read others within this series.

[Morgan Weinstein · Rating 4 out of 5]

I can always count on a B. Sobjakken to hit & bring the spice asap!

Dodge is a MC club romance with some of my favorite tropes & microtropes, and it doesn’t disappoint. Dodge is a single dad in need of a nanny, and after being down on her luck Autumn walks right into Dodge’s MC Devil’s Tide territory. Autumn needs a job & Dodge needs a nanny he can trust- the only problem is these two are into one another on day one! The spice hits quick and it never dulls. This is 170ish pages of pure spice and it’s a quick read as things happen fast!

Dodge has:
- single dad & nanny
- breeding k!nk
- Motorcycle club
- daddy k!nk
- Found family

Thank you to Smuthood and B. Sobjakken for an ARC copy of this one. I can’t wait for more of Devil’s Tide, and if you want more I highly recommend Claiming the Club Princess!

I love MC Romances! Dodge and Autumn Story is definitely a must read. Loyalty, trust , sparks and lots of love. Dodge is more than , a MC ,a single dad....... he is raw and real.
Autumn is down on her luck ..... until destiny intervenes.

I really enjoyed the book, but I feel like the ending just cut me off - I wanted more. I also feel like there were some time jumps forward in the book that weren't clearly identified, which left me questioning where in the timeline I was. Overall I did enjoy it, just wanted more detail and more.

This was such a fun read!!!

Loved the single dad element & how Dodge was stepping up and being the best dad that he could. He is obsessed with Autumn from the first time he sees her and I love that he claimed her with no messing around.

Autumn was so sweet. She didn’t have family or back up but she fit into the club so seamlessly. I loved that the girls at the club took her under their wing and it wasn’t like a women against women situation.

The spice was great and I love that there seems to be a through storyline for the rest of the series

B. Sobjakken brings us the MC I have been craving since reading Claiming the Club Princess!!

4⭐️

This was such a fun, fast-paced MC romance. Between the protective biker hero, the found family vibes, and the instant chemistry, I flew through it in one sitting. Dodge definitely had that rough, possessive energy you expect from an MC hero, but the softer side he showed with his daughter and Autumn made him way more lovable than I expected.

Winnie honestly stole every scene she was in, and I loved how naturally Autumn fit into their lives from the start. The chemistry was immediate, the spice absolutely delivered, and the side characters made the whole MC world feel lively and entertaining without taking away from the main couple.

My biggest complaint is honestly just that I wanted more of everything. Since it’s a novella, the relationship develops pretty quickly, and I would’ve loved more buildup and extra time with these characters because I wasn’t ready to leave their world yet. Hopefully we will get to seem some more of them in subsequent books.

💫Thank you to The Smuthood for this ARC 💫
