Saint View Blood & Ink #2

Diary of a Biker Queen

Rate this book
Across an ocean, the baby growing inside me starts a deadly Mafia war.

A battle that can’t be survived by all three men I’m falling for.

Dax knows the baby I’m carrying is his, and he’ll burn the world down to keep us both safe. But in the depths of a Scottish castle, a bet is placed on his life and an ultimatum given. Fight or die.

With Lynx as his opponent, and his demons barely kept beneath the surface, there is no winner without losing one of them.

Luca’s father wants my head after finding out I’m not the untouched bride he was promised. And I’m sure Luca is going to let him have it.

Until he utters one sentence that might just save us all.

Or it’ll paint a target on our backs too.

Diary of a Biker Queen is the second book in the Saint View Blood and Ink trilogy and cannot be read as a standalone. Start the series with book 1, Diary of a Mafia Princess. This book contains dark themes that may trigger some readers.

🚨🚨🚨 SPOILER WARNING 🚨🚨🚨

If you have NOT read this book yet, please come back after you do because BABYYYY… I have THOUGHTS. 😂

Okay, Elle Thorpe DID IT AGAIN. This book was JUICY. The drama?? The tension?? The secrets?? The betrayal?? My anxiety was WORKING overtime. 😭

We’re picking right back up in the same world, and our girl Nyah is in an absolute MESS. She’s betrothed to Carlos while slowly developing this delicious, slow-burn chemistry with her bodyguard Lynx, AND she has this whole enemies-to-lovers situation with the son of the man she’s promised to, Lucca. Oh, and did I mention she’s PREGNANT?!

And not just pregnant….she’s pregnant by the man she actually fell in love with when she ran away from her father; Dax.
She broke Dax’s heart because she believed leaving him was the only way to keep him safe. Yet he disregards that, and gets himself hired as a Fighter for Nyah’s fiancé Carlos, all to be closer to Nyah. Meanwhile, Dax thinks she lost their baby. And she thinks she lost the baby too… only to find out she’s been carrying his child this whole time.

Meanwhile, Carlos?🚩🚩🚩 GIRL. Human trafficking, drugs, gambling, torture… this man has a whole résumé of evil. And he thinks she’s a virgin because that’s what Nyah’s father essentially SOLD Carlos.

The entire time I’m listening, I’m sitting there like, “MA’AM. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! Or GIRLLLL HURRRRY UP!!” 😂 There were definitely moments where I was questioning some of Nyah’s decisions because GIRL, WHAT IS THE PLAN HERE?!

Nyah and Lynx (it was really Lynx’s idea) comes up with a plan to convince everyone that Lucca is the father of her baby. And yes… that plan involves the two of them sleeping together…….For approximately 2.5 seconds, I thought, “Okay! Maybe she can actually pull this off!”

NOPE.

Because the ending??????

THE ENDING!!!!!!! 😭😭😭

This Scottish man shows up with the energy of someone who has been sitting in a dark room collecting everybody’s secrets like Pokémon. 😂 Somehow, he knows EVERYTHING.

And then this man invites EVERYBODY to his house.

The boxer- Dax
The fiancé - Carlos
The son- Lucca
The bodyguard- Lynx
HER.

EVERYBODY. IN. ONE. ROOM.

And proceeds to basically air this woman’s ENTIRE LIFE OUT. 😭😭😭

He knows she’s pregnant.

He has his suspicions about her relationship with the bodyguard.

He knows she slept with Lucca.

In the midst of all this, everyone, including Dax find out he is actually the father of the baby.

AND WHYYYYYY WOULS HE DO THIS?

To anger Carlos yes, but because he apparently wants Nyah too. 😳

I was listening to this like I was personally involved. My anxiety was THROUGH THE ROOF. 😂

And of course, Elle Thorpe delivers when it comes to the spice. 🔥 She knows how to build chemistry and tension, and the spicy scenes absolutely did not disappoint.

I listened to this one on audio, and honestly, it made all the drama even more entertaining because I could just sit there in disbelief while the story kept dropping bomb after bomb.

The ending had me staring into the void like:😱😱

EXCUSE ME?! WE’RE ENDING THE BOOK HERE?!

Because there is NO WAY I’m supposed to be okay after THAT.

Elle Thorpe, respectfully… I need the next book IMMEDIATELY. 😂

Messy? Absolutely.
Dramatic? Extremely.
Spicy? YES MA’AM. 🔥
Stressful? CONSTANTLY.
Did I enjoy every second of it? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY.

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

After the cliffhanger ending of book 1 I jumped into the second book in this Saint View series. Wooowweee it did not disappoint at all. Devoured in a day. I just don't know how Elle Thorpe manages to do it. The story just pulls you in, Every book has me on the edge of my seat. Drama, heartache, spice , It had me gripped from the minute I started. That ending , each cliffhanger gets worse and worse!! We know of one baddie but if I know anything about these books another one is about to appear in book three and it will blow our minds!!!! Countdowns on for the last in the series.

Honestly not what I was expecting and just a bunch of smut for Nyah. A couple of oh wow moments but then I felt like the cliffhanger left us in a similar position to part I.

Audiobook narrators did a great job! I really like that aspect of this series

If you thought the cliff hanger at the end of Diary of a Mafia Princess was bad, wait until you get to this one. You are all cosy reading and then bam the books ends! I was like nooo I need more! This author is a work of genius and loves to put her readers through it.

This book begins where the first one finishes, we are in a cold Scottish castle with a man who seems to know everything and the only thing he wants is Nyah. Our foursome now have to find a way out alive! Shockingly, Luca steps up and claims Nyah’s baby is his thus both making an enemy of his father and to the amusement of MacGregor who lets them leave wanting to watch the fallout with glee. However the race is to get back as Luca believes his sister is now in danger. She is hidden but Luca knows his father has ways of finding her. Lynx calls War and the Slayers MC’s save the day.

This stories main focus is on Nyah and her emotional and mental state. She finds herself falling more and more for three men and doesn’t really know how to process it. She has seen her best friend, Violet, handle this type of relationship but she knows she loves Dax and their baby but is not sure if he will accept Lynx and Luca. She battles with her fear of abandonment even though the guys promise her they are not going anywhere until one by one they disappear: Dax leaves a note, Luca is killed and Lynx is arrested and subsequently cannot be contacted.

The guys spend this book working on their relationship. Dax has accepted that Nyah has real feelings for Luca and Lynx and to keep her happy he has welcomed them into their relationship and is shocked he feels no jealousy towards them when they are with Nyah. Luca is struggling to trust given his past but he coming to realise Nyah, Dax and especially Lynx are not like those from his past. Lynx is scarted once his true nature was exposed in Scotland that Nyah and Luca would leave him. He is shocked to find Nyah holds the key to grounding him. When he is arrested for a murder he didn’t commit things start to fall apart. The murderer left Lynx’s calling card. There is someone out to get them and when the guys find themselves all together there is familiar voice they know has set them up.

This book really gets the story moving and as readers we get drawn in to all the characters emotional states and the day-to-day interactions they have with each other. I love how Violet comes to Nyah’s aid when Dax ‘leaves’ even though she is a just as pregnant as Nyah. There is a real sense of family within the Slayers MC whether they are member or not. As we expect there are plenty of spicy scenes and lots of humour. Elle hasn’t developed Luca and Lynx’s relationship in this book but I would believe knowing how she writes, book 3 will contain all the juicy details.

Packed full of love, emotions, spice, tension and betrayals, this is another typical Saint View drama and in true Elle style there is that massive cliff hanger. Just who has kidnapped our guys!!! Hurry up with Diary from an Inked Throne!! So glad these books are released close together.

ARC & ALC Review:

Dear Diary,

After the heart stopping cliffhanger at the end of book one, I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for my ARC of book two. I was pleasantly surprised that the ALC was sent as well. So again, I was allowed to listen to the wonderful narrators while reading along in the book. It enriches the reading experience and have I mentioned that Stephen Dexter's voice is pure sex??

Book two picks up right where book one left off. I truly wasn't sure how our intrepid foursome was going to survive the events in that cold, Scottish castle. But no surprise, and let's face it, this can't be a spoiler because if they died, there would be no need for book three, they do. But they aren't out of danger, not by a long shot.

This story will make you feel all the emotions! You'll laugh, cry, hold your breath, blush at the steamy scenes. An Elle Thorpe Saint View book is an experience, not just a fabulous read. A great deal happens in this middle book, and don't get comfortable with your theories because there are twists you won't see coming at you. There is a heap of character work, but it's still a 50/50 mix of character and action. Oh and did I mention the molten hot spice?

Oh and the cliffhanger? If you thought book one's cliffhanger

The listening experience with the duet, multi-cast narration is just perfect. Andi Eloise embodies Nyah's spirit nicely, Grayson Owens' Luca is perfection, and Ryan Stone's Lynx is all attitude and growl. But it's Stephen Dexter's Dax that makes me go weak in the knees. And I really enjoyed that, for the most part, the characters' voices carried the story and there wasn't an overabundance of ambient sound effects.

In short, I was given the ARC & ALC in exchange for my honest opinion and I can honestly say this book, the entire Saint View series, are pure excellence. This cannot be read as a stand alone; you must read Diary of a Mafia Princess first. Get your copy(s) today!

What you get

➤ Multiple POVs
➤ Why Choose
➤ Enemies to Lovers
➤ Book Two (not a standalone)

Diary of a Biker Queen picks up right where we were left at the end of Diary of a Mafia Princess, so we’re on the edge of our seats and then thrown straight back into the action.

We start fast and strong, and that pace just keeps going almost the entire time. There is so much happening in this one, and oh boy, she’s spicy! There are plenty of spicy scenes in this one!

Some of the ‘twists’ I guessed, but others left my jaw on the floor and tears in my eyes.

I actually really like Dax and felt kind of bad for him early on. He is so caring and loving to Nyah, and I would have loved to see more of them. Just when I thought maybe things would turn around… BAM! Then my heart just broke for Dax.

I’ve loved Lynx from the start, who wouldn’t, right? There’s just something so protective and almost ‘cinnamon roll hero’ vibes about him… if you ignore all the murdery stuff that is.

We actually get to see a lot of Nyah, Lynx and Luca this time, which I really enjoyed. I love the relationship dynamics between them and hope to see more, and how things develop.

Now just excuse me for a moment… That cliffhanger!?
So, by now you probably realise you just can’t have a Saint View Series without a cliffhanger. Yeah well this one got me. I knew something was going to happen, just not that!

Audiobook Details
➤ Narration Style: Duet Full/Multi Cast
➤ Narrators: Andi Eloise, Grayson Owens, Stephen Dexter and Ryan Stone
➤ Length: 9hours 43minutes

I listened to this as an advanced copy, but the good news is that it’s out today (September 15th), so no one has to wait!

Once again the audiobook was fantastic. I love the subtle sound effects. This isn’t a fully dramatized audiobook with constant music and sound effects, this audiobook thoughtfully enhances the narration with subtle and strategic sound effects and music that don’t overpower the performances.

Each of the narrators do a great job and deliver very distinct performances that bring the characters personalities to life. All four narrators are incredible, and I am especially enjoying Andi Eloise as Nyah and Ryan Stone as Lynx.

Getting a duet multi cast narration is a true delight.

ARC/ALC

You can never go wrong with a saint veiw book or series.

This is book two to the blood and ink series.

I listened too and read the book at the same time which made it more fun for me.

We were left on a hell of a cliff hanger in book one, and as always elle is the QUEEN of cliff hangers cos shit was this one a doozy, also I kinda seen it coming I had a very strong feeling he was behind the going ons that had been happening 😳

This book has alot of smutt in it, I no elles books always do but im guessing horny and pregnant make a great combo specially for nyah hehe

The plot was plotting, but at some points nyah started pissing me off, I understand pregnancy hormones and all that but what happened to her smart bad ass self I felt a little disappointed in her by the end of the book like come on girl u know the mafia world better then anyone u cant be falling for shit that easily, i no she guna be proving me wrong in the 3rd book well I at least hope so cos I want my bad ass girl popping back in.

Anyways back to it lol
Lynx and luca awwwww them two been hot and heavy from book 1, I realllly wana see thise two finally go at it in book 3 cos we only got a little taste of them two in this one, dont judge me you know you wana see them finally go at it too 😆. We wouldn't be reading these books others wise and yall know as well as I do the MM scenes in these are 😋😘

The book is good okay, frustrating but good, i wana give so much away but I wont cos the book releases tomorrow the 15th and then everyone gets to read it and use arnt ready I swear u think u are but nah.

Theres so much going on, so much to process I loved how amazing an supportive dax is of nyah, he loves her so much its so grossly cute haha, I liked that they were all finally finding some form of normality, and getting to know each other.
What broke me most was daxs loss aww my stomach dropped when I read that 😭

Also I duno who to fuckn hate more in this book cos there so many shitty horrible charaters to hate, nyahs parents, Lucas dad and uncle, the arsehole Scottish guy, the corrupt cops.
I duno if caleb will be the most hated charater after this series. I think Lucas uncle might just beat him but thats my opinion we shall see in book 3.

Diary of a Biker Queen is the second book in Nyah, Dax, Lynx and Luca’s trilogy and picks up where book one ends where secrets have been revealed and our characters find themselves in enemy territory with no way out. One of these secrets being that Nyah is pregnant with Dax’s baby but Luca steps up as the father of the baby knowing that the Guerra name will protect Nyah and the child but he also makes a further enemy of his father.

MacGregor leaves the guys go by now the race is on to get home because Luca’s sister is there unprotected but have no fear our bikers the Slayers steps up and brings Isabella to safety behind the gates of the compound. I honestly loved the Slayers MC because they will step up when one of their own is threatened or needs help.

Now with enemies knocking at their doors the guys need to form a plan, but also they need to navigate their new circumstances. That being Dax, Lynx and Luca all are head over heels for the same woman. Nyah and Luca definitely worked through quite a bit in this book because Luca felt utterly betrayed when all was revealed during the MacGregor confrontation. Dax is happy to have Nyah back in the safety of his arms and Lynx well he’s adjusting to knowing that the woman he yearned for reciprocates his feelings but this is not the only thing on Lynx’s plate. A copycat or what they believe a copycat individual is staging scenes that are similar to the reason why Lynx ended up in prison and well one of their individuals affected well I was absolutely devastated to say the least as I quite liked this side character and it also devastated our main characters.

This book definitely turns up the heat a lot and the group moments well I was impressed.

Of course this is the second book in a trilogy and while I was expecting a cliffhanger I was not expecting that because excuse me that cliffhanger?? Fair warning that this cliffhanger is definitely a step up from the cliffhanger experienced in book one, but at least book three won’t be fair behind and we will have the conclusion to Nyah, Dax, Lynx and Luca’s story.

Thank you to the author who provided this e-arc for my honest thoughts

Well, I always look forward to the second book in a series and wonder if it could possibly be as good as the first, and I'm happy to say that each time it's even better than the first! This Saint View Blood & Ink Series is no exception. My heart was pounding from the start of this book and I don't think it calmed down until I finished it, if even then! Diary of a Biker Queen will grab you by the throat and drag you into it with your mouth agape and your pulse racing through your veins! I absolutely LOVED it!

The emotions in Nyah's story are off the charts! Just when you think she might be able to find a bit of happiness, something happens to crush that dream and leave you reeling as you read. I don't know how Elle Thorpe does it, but she manages to squeeze every emotion, good and bad, out of her characters and into your heart. I found myself completely captivated by Luca, Lynx and Dax just like Nyah, each one offering her something that she finds herself unable to ignore. Couldn't blame her there...each one of these guys was HOT in their own way. If only they could all get away from the Mafia King, Carlos Guerra, they'd have half a chance of finding some happiness. Of course, Nyah and the guys grab what they can get when they can! It's steamy, dreamy and oh-so-satisfying. But you have to know it just isn't going to be that happily-ever-after life for any of them, at least not yet!

The twists and turns don't stop coming and before you know it, you're at the end of Book 2 and literally crying out for Book 3! How can this be? I'll tell you. It happens because the author has crafted a world and characters that you can easily identify and empathize with. A place that you can't wait to get back to and turn the pages quickly to find out what could possibly happen next to these people. This is masterful writing at its best, and I'm all here for it. Elle Thorpe has done it again. What a great read! I will no doubt be over here dying until I get my copy of Saint View Blood & Ink Book 3, Diary from an Inked Throne!

Oh my goodness!! What was that ending?!

The cliffhanger in book 1 was bad, but the one at the end of Biker Queen?! Yeah, this one is worse ! I did see the big bad villain coming because, let's face it, it could only be him after some of the events of book 1. But, what now?!

Biker Queen picks up exactly where Mafia Princess stopped, all the way to the Scottish Castle of craziness. Unsurprisingly, Nyah and her men make it out of there alive and mostly well although the decisions and actions taken in that castle will reverberate through the rest of the book.

It's hard to review this book without giving too much away so let's just say that, as expected in book 2 of a trilogy, A LOT happens! A lot of growth, a lot of angst, a lot of waiting, a lot of closeness and a lot of heartbreak.

It was a pleasure to see a lot more of Dax, although he very much shares the role of Nyah's rock and anchor with Lynx who, once again, really shines in this book.
Honestly, the big man is also the sweetest and all in all a big deliciously mushy cinnamon roll. I wish we had got more Lynx-and-Luca scenes in there, although we get plenty with the two of them and Nyah.
Dax is still strong, loving, understanding and a model of support - despite being distant for reasons that can't be discussed without giving too much away.

I loved spending time with characters from previous books and seeing the way some previously loose ends are -nearly- tied and additional characters introduced. The way the Slayers rally around Nyah but are very human in their reactions to Luca and Lynx are both beautiful and relatable.

As per Mafia Princess, the narrators have done an absolutely amazing job with the voices and the audiobook is awesome!! I still have issue with the intermittent sound effects (voices, crowds, music) but that's probably just a me thing.

Back to Saint View.

And after the way book one left us?

There was absolutely no easing into anything.

Diary of a Biker Queen picks up with us already standing in the middle of the chaos that cliffhanger left behind, and Elle Thorpe wastes absolutely no time.

We start with a bang and end with action, and somewhere in between I apparently decided I had nothing else to do because I immersive-read this entire book in one day.

That's what I love about Elle's books. They flow so damn well that you don't realize how far you've gone until suddenly you hear: “The End... for now.”

Excuse me?

Just one more month.

These four people?

SO HOT.

All of them.

The tension, the danger and the way these four orbit each other had me happily seated for the entire ride.
And then the weird stuff starts happening.

NO...

We're doing this now?

Okay.

I'm listening.

And that cliffhanger...again?

WHEW.

Elle Thorpe really said, “See you next month,” and walked away while I sat there staring at my headphones.

Ma'am, you are breaking me.

But the audiobook?

WOW.

The multi-cast duet narration with Grayson Owens, Stephen Dexter, Andi Eloise and Ryan Stone feels like a full production. It honestly feels like watching a movie with headphones on.

Every emotional high and low came through, and the narration had me feeling like I was standing right there in the middle of everything.

I don't really know what else to say except...

Elle Thorpe wrote it.

Of course I'm going to read it.

Diary of a Biker Queen was a one-day binge, a whole lot of hot and another cliffhanger that has me counting down the days until I can get back to Saint View.

One. More. Month.

I can wait.

Probably.

Read it. Listen to it. Come scream with me afterward. 💜

Thank you again to Elle Thorpe for the advance audiobook copy. This review is entirely my own thoughts, in my own words, and in my own opinion.

Diary of a Biker Queen picks up right where the last cliffhanger left us, and I enjoyed being dropped straight back into the chaos of the Saint View world. The narrators, Andi Eloise, Grayson Owens, Stephen Dexter, and Ryan Stone, were amazing again and fit the characters perfectly.

This time, I found the background music and extra sound effects distracting. I listen with headphones, so they stood out more and pulled my attention away from the story. The first half also felt slower, with less suspense than the previous book, and I noticed that shift in pacing.

Around the halfway mark, the tension and action kicked in, and once it did, I was fully invested again. The relationships are building nicely, and there is plenty of spice woven through the story, which we all know Elle does so well.

I am certainly loving Luca more in this instalment. Dax is feeling a bit meh for me, and Lynx feels lost in a way that makes me want more from him. And Nyah… I do not know why she feels like she has lost her spunk. I really hope she gets her fire back, because her spark is one of the things I loved most about her in previous books.

Elle knows how to build momentum, and she delivers by the end with another cliffhanger. Classic Elle behaviour. I should be used to it by now, but somehow she still gets me every time.

Diary of a Biker Queen is a strong continuation of the Blood and Ink series. The narration is excellent, the second half delivers, and the Saint View energy is still very much alive. I am excited for the next instalment and ready to see how their story ends.

Diary of a Biker Queen (Saint View Blood and Ink #2) by Elle Thorpe is a dark contemporary why-choose Mafia romantic suspense. The story follows Nyah Matish, whose Mafia-boss father sold her into an arranged marriage to a rival boss who’s expecting to marry a virgin bride. But Nyah has a secret that poses a big problem: she’s pregnant.

Diary of a Biker Queen is told in the first person from multiple POVs. Although most of the story is from Nyah’s perspective (18 out of 34 chapters), there are three other characters with POV chapters: Lynx, Luca, and Dax. As part two of a trilogy with a continuing story, it ends with a cliffhanger.

I loved part two of Nyah’s story! Diary of a Biker Queen picked up right where Diary of a Mafia Princess ended, and—WOW!—what an opening chapter! And that’s not where the action ended. This installment was even twistier and steamier than the last with so many surprises. I was hooked from beginning to end.

Like with the previous book, I simultaneously read the ARC while listening to the ALC, which was such a treat! The audiobook has a stellar cast of narrators—Andi Eloise, Grayson Owens, Ryan Stone, Stephen Dexter—performing the duet multicast narration, and the production team included background music and noises that went along with the story, making it a truly immersive experience.

If you enjoy steamy, suspenseful Mafia romance with twisty surprises and a dose of humor, you should definitely grab this one. As always, the cliffhanger at the end was devilish perfection. I can’t wait to get my grabby little hands on Diary from an Inked Throne to find out how it all ends!

Diary of a Biker Queen by Elle Thorpe is the thrilling, high-stakes, and emotionally devastating second installment in the Saint View Blood and Ink trilogy, continuing the heart-pounding journey of Nyah and her dangerous trio of men: Dax, Lynx, and Luca.

Picking up directly after the explosive cliffhanger of the first book, the story thrusts the characters from a cold Scottish castle into a deadly international fallout. With Nyah pregnant with Dax's baby, Luca steps up to claim paternity to protect them under the Guerra family name—incurring the wrath of his own father—while the Slayers MC rallies to secure their safety. As the group retreats to face mounting threats, they must simultaneously navigate the complex, molten-hot dynamics of a shared relationship where Dax, Lynx, and Luca are all entirely devoted to Nyah, even as past betrayals, a chilling copycat mystery, and devastating character losses shatter their fragile peace.

True to form, the author delivers a masterclass in middle-book chaos, balancing intense action, deep character work, and blistering spice with a 50/50 split that keeps pages turning at breakneck speed. The turbulent emotional rollercoaster—filled with laughs, tears, and gasps—culminates in an even more agonizing cliffhanger that leaves readers desperate for the trilogy's conclusion. The immersive experience is elevated to absolute perfection through a stellar duet multi-cast narration by Andi Eloise, Grayson Owens, Ryan Stone, and Stephen Dexter, whose distinct vocal performances capture every ounce of grit, danger, and swoon-worthy desire.

I wrote this review for Saucy Reviews on Kinky Korner.
Diary of a Biker Queen is the second book in this trilogy and eagerly awaited after the first book’s ending. Thank you to this amazing author for not making readers wait very long. Diving back into the world of Nyah, Dax, Luca, and Lynx was everything I wanted and more.

The story continues on from where it ended in book one. The tension is just as fierce and the situation just as dire. Being faced with a potentially unsolvable problem Nyah is at a loss, not knowing what to do. Actually, I totally understand that as I felt the same way. 😀

The passion is even hotter and more intense in this second book as the three men and Nyah try to sort out their feelings and where they stand in a relationship. I have to admit that Dax is the most understanding and caring character of all—well in my opinion and I really like them all.

The action and drama continue with the tension extremely high in many scenes. Emotions run rampant, and justly so, making the story even more endearing as I mentally fought for these characters to triumph. The twists and turns in this storyline are incredible. Although I have always had a suspicion about a particular character, I didn’t expect these surprises, but oh boy, do they make the story even more exciting.

Alas, it’s book two so yet again, Ms Cliffhanger Queen left the story with a sensational ending that, of course, makes you want to know what happens next. Bring on book three, Diary From an Inked Throne!

Fantastic. No notes. This group of narrators are so talented and such a pleasure to listen to.

Book #2 Blood & Ink trilogy

Oh, Miss ELLE THORPE how you love to torture us with cliffhangers! No for real though you know how to keep me on the edge of my seat and begging for more. These books are so addicting with wonderful well written character that are easy to love.

Book two picks up right where book 1 leaves off so you have to read in order or you will be lost in the story. Luca, Dax, Lynx, and Nyah are on the run and in a hurry to get back to home after facing off with Luca's father at a fighting ring. The secret is out of the bag. Will it tear the four apart before they even really get started? This one takes you on a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions, but I enjoyed seeing the relationship develop more between the four MC's and the found family vibes at the clubhouse.

Elle also gives a little glimpse into some possible future characters in the next series... Not sure who it will be but I know if Elle Thorpe writes it I will be reading it!

Thank you Elle Thorpe for this eARC & ALC.

I am not fully sure what to say about this book. I should know by now that Elle writes quite shocking middle books for her trilogies, but they get me every single year without fail. The amount of emotions I went through in this book was just shocking, and all I wanted was more of it. I want the last book now... How am I supposed to wait a month after a book like that and the ending we got served...

What has solidified is my love for our FMC Nyah. She is just such an amazing woman, and I just love the way that she thinks and how she holds herself. Now the men, oh the men. Dax, Luca, and Lynx. At the moment, I would say Lynx is my favourite. We always love the crazy ones the most and that he is.

I am not best pleased with who our murder mystery fell on for this trilogy. Uncool Elle, what the hell, was there no one else you could have sacrificed?! So that is another thing I will be left to think about until we get the final book and all is revealed.

Other than Elle traumatising my poor soul with the content of this book, it was really good and per usual I could not put it down for the life of me nor did I want to read that final chapter as I knew something shocking would happen and it would mean I have to wait for the next one. I really do recommend Elle's books to everyone as the emotional rollercoaster she puts you through is worth it!

Damn you, Elle Thorpe. I really want to hate you right now. I question myself and my sanity every time I read one of your books because I know they are going to be a form of torture, and this second book in the series is no different.

It was great that they got themselves out of the deep trouble they were in at the end of book one pretty quickly, and they got a chance to sort through some of their personal drama. Then you started the games. Slowly, you let what they were building crumble until everything was so upside down I felt the anxiety all the way to my toes.

There are times when I’m annoyed at the main characters, but this time I was most mad with the extra characters. How did they not be more on top of what was going on with their crew? It kind of felt they were left out in the cold a little. As for the main character, what the hell was going on with them going out alone all the time when they knew the threats and danger that was nipping at their heels?

Each character went through some emotional changes, and together they started to form a different bond. It was all starting to feel like there was a chance for a happily ever after, but I knew there was one more book and I knew Elle was going to make sure this ending would make that third book worth waiting for.

Things are certainly hanging in the balance, and everyone is in danger, but the question seems to be which of their problems is going to cause the most damage and how are they going to get to the other side in one piece before someone breaks them.

Happy Reading.

I knew things were going to get messy, but apparently I was not emotionally prepared for what was to come. The cliffhanger in Mafia Princess was rough, but Biker Queen basically said, “You thought THAT was bad? Hold my beer.” Now I’m just sitting here wondering how I’m supposed to patiently wait to find out what happens next.

Biker Queen jumps right back into the chaos where Mafia Princess left us, and it really doesn’t slow down. There is SO much happening in this book — secrets, heartbreak, healing, and plenty of moments where I wanted to throw my e-reader. Since this is the second book in a trilogy, I expected it to be the bridge between the beginning and the finale, but it never felt like filler. If anything, it made me even more invested in everyone.

Oh, Lynx. That man completely stole my heart. For someone who can be so intimidating, he is basically a giant cinnamon roll when it comes to the people he loves.

What I absolutely was NOT prepared for was where the story left us.

Overall, Biker Queen gave me exactly what I wanted from the second book: more character development, more emotional connection, more chaos, more answers—and, naturally, about a thousand new questions.

And that ending? Excuse me while I go stare at a wall and process what just happened. Book 3, where are you!?

📓 DEAR DIARY: DAX, LUCA & LYNX & NYAH ARE THE REASON I CAN’T BE LEFT UNSUPERVISED.

Let me be perfectly clear: I came for part 2 of their story… I stayed because Dax, Luca & Lynx collectively stole every last functioning thought from my brain.🔥

Those three men are DANGEROUS. POSSESSIVE. HOT AS HELL. And the chemistry?! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dax had me weak.
Luca had me feral.
Lynx had me questioning my morals.
All three together? GAME OVER. 🥵🖤

This book had me kicking my feet, clutching my Kindle, staring into space, and wondering how a book managed to make three men simultaneously my favorite bad decision.

And THEN… THAT CLIFFHANGER. 😭💀

EXCUSE ME, ELLE?! You cannot emotionally obliterate me like that and then expect me to casually wait ONE WHOLE MONTH for the final book of the trilogy.

I NEED ANSWERS.
I NEED DAX.
I NEED LUCA.
I NEED LYNX.
I NEED NYAH.
I NEED THE NEXT BOOK YESTERDAY.



⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🔥 Spice: RUINED ME
🌪️ Chaos: OFF THE CHARTS
🧠 My sanity: GONE
⏳ Waiting one month: ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCEPTABLE

Elle Thorpe, respectfully… what the actual hell am I supposed to do with myself for the next month?! 🫠🖤🔥 That ending was so feral I need answers, therapy, and possibly a padded room until the final book drops. I genuinely don't know how I'm supposed to survive waiting one more month for the last book in this trilogy.

I received an ALC copy of Diary of a Biker Queen…I want to thank Elle Thorpe for the opportunity. As always, my reviews are entirely my own thoughts/ opinions. This audiobook is narrated by Andi Eloise (Nyah), Grayson Owens (Luca), Stephen Dexter (Dax) & Ryan Stone (Lynx). This is an amazing cast & Elle always picks the perfect people to narrate each character. The audio is 🔥!! I highly recommend listening to it!!
We picked up right where book one left off… that last books cliffy 🫣🤨 holy moly! It was entertaining to see where this story went. The middle kind of drug on a bit but those last few chapters. There was a lot of drama. A little more emotional connections in this one.
Holy shit. I knew what was happening and i dont know how she (or the guys) didn’t put it together sooner. That cliffhanger 😢 I KNEW it was one to watch…. I can’t wait to see what happens in book three — shit is gonna hit the fan!

Honestly, Elle your writing in this book had me guessing what going to happen next and I love it! This is the second book in the Saint View Blood and Ink series and we got in to the thick of it, that for sure.
.
It picks up right where it left off in book one, and the excitement continues all through out the book up until the very last page. Also we get more of all three men and watch the chemistry with them all start to boil over. The twist and turns though are throwing me all over the place, but I’m definitely here for it.

My Favourite so far is still Lynx and we get more of him and his back story which I absolutely love! But Luca and Dax are still up there and just as intriguing.

The audio for this book is honestly amazing as well, the affects that are added and the voices of the narrator *chefs kiss*

“Dear Diary, There was no one coming, and I knew what I needed to do.”

I’m going to need book three as soon as possible. Would you give me a copy if I came over a visited Elle? I’ll even work for it haha.

One of the many things i love about the Saint View books is seeing old friends. Watching War, Hawk & Reaper all come through for Luca gives me chills. It’s like seeing old friends you’ve been missing. Finally coming home.

I love that the Murder Squad just keeps bringing in stays. First Saint View, then the world. 🤣

I absolutely love seeing all the kids in the family. They’re all raising such cool kids.

Augie will always be my favorite of Elle’s redemption stories, but Luca’s is a close second. Luca & Kara having their moment made me so happy. He’s really just trying his best. 🥹

Nyla’s pregnancy related meltdown is so fucking relatable. I have to laugh so i don’t cry.

“I really like zebras.” 🤣🤣🤣❤️

I can’t wait for Luca & Nyah to go through with their pact. 🔪🔪🔪🔪

Oh. That ending. That FUCKING ENDING ✨intense screaming continues✨ Elle is the queen of fucking with my emotions. Come on, October, i need to last book today.

God, i never want to leave Saint View.

Diary of a Biker Queen is out on Audible now, releasing everywhere else (including KU!!) on September 15!

Book two starts right where we the first book left off, and it took me a minute to remember what had happened with Nyah, Dax, Lynx and Luca. Once I did, I was a immediately sucked back into their messy world and story.

And the mess continues with this book. Nyah is pregnant with Dax's baby, but she has feelings for Lynx and Luca, too. The beginning was really good, but the middle chapters dragged a little. I felt like some of the scenes were not beneficial to the plot and could be skipped. The action picked up, though, as did the spice with all of the characters. I know there is a going to be a cliffhanger, but it always gets me when it happens. Look forward to the next book!

I listened to the audio narrated in multi-cast duet by Andi Eloise, Grayson Owens, Stephen Dexter and Ryan Stone. All of the narrators are excellent, but I did find the background sound effects and music in this listener copy a bit distracting.

Thank you to the author for an advanced readers copy/advanced listeners copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

ARC Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Loved this book!!

I went into Diary of a Biker Queen fully aware it would end on a cliffhanger and leave me counting down the days until the final book in the trilogy releases. Even knowing that, I couldn't put it down.

The bond that began forming between Nyah, Dax, Luca, and Lynx in Diary of a Mafia Princess continues to deepen in this installment, and I loved every minute of it. I've been invested in Nyah and Dax since they were first introduced in the Saint View Murder Squad series, and the addition of Luca and Lynx has only made the story stronger. Learning more about each character's past and seeing their layers unfold made me love them even more. I never thought it was possible, but even Lucas is getting a redemption arc that has me rooting for him.

Elle Thorpe has a gift for creating unforgettable characters while keeping readers constantly guessing what will happen next. Just when you think you have everything figured out, another twist pulls you deeper into the story. Now I'm desperately waiting to see how it all ends!!

I absolutely LOVED this one! Nyah, Luca, Dax, and Lynx finally give us the payoff we’ve been waiting for, and let me just say… the spice was worth the wait.

There are plenty of cameos from other Saint View characters, which I loved, but you definitely don’t need to have read all of their books to enjoy this one or understand what’s going on.

This book has spice, suspense, angst, possessive bikers, and plenty of emotional chaos—basically everything I want in a romance.

And true to herself, Miss Elle Thorpe was not about to let us have peace. The ending left me absolutely needing the next book. When things start to happen to Lynx, then Dax, then Luca... everyone else seems ready to accept what happened, but Nyah refuses to give up on her guys. At least until that cliffhanger... And Elle? That was RUDE.

If you love why-choose/poly romance, biker romances, suspense, angst, and a healthy dose of spice, add this series to your TBR.

I received this as an ARC from the author.

This book picks up pretty much right where the last one ended and what a cliffhanger that one was. Our group has found themselves in a bit of a tight situation until Luca, one of our MMCs, does something drastic that might have made them go from the frying pan to the fire. This book features a lot more of our MMC, Lynx, and his backstory and we get to spend some time with our favourite biker gang which is always a fun time! Our main group does start to come together in this book and the spice is spicy! We still got some angst and tension but their relationships are progressing! Things do start to set up for book three and boy is that last book going to be a wild ride. This does end on a cliffhanger, and it is a bit of a doozy but I'm excited for what happens next!

I have not been on such a wild emotional roller coaster in quite some time. I think I have emotional whiplash. I desperately need book 3.

Initial reaction to the main part of the book (there's apparently bonus scenes that start at 87% that I wasn't aware of)... holy shit! That was jaw dropping. I expected the cliffhanger, but I did not expect those events. Poor Nyah. I need answers!

The bonus scenes at the end with Kyle, Kiki, Amber, Herb, & Chirp were adorable. I loved being able to see into the lives of some of the side characters. It would be amazing to get a book, or short story, with them as the focus. And seeing Siren again was a shock. I wonder if Chirp will break club rules to try and find her.

I read & listened and the narrators that Elle chose were phenomenal! They really brought the story to life.

Dear Diary…Elle Thorpe has done it AGAIN. 🖤🏍️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Diary of a Biker Queen was such a fun ride. As always with Elle, she somehow had me laughing one minute and on the edge of my seat the next, which is exactly the kind of chaos I signed up for.

After Diary of a Mafia Princess gave us so much of Luca, he was obviously the first of these men I fell HARD for, so I’m still unapologetically obsessed with him. I definitely found myself wishing for a little more Luca, but this was Lynx’s time to shine, and I loved getting that deeper dive into him and the connection he shares with Nyah. And now knowing Diary from an Inked Throne is going to bring us more Dax while continuing to bring all of them together?! I am SO READY.

This book gave me a little bit of everything, spice, suspense, drama, plenty of laughs, and enough chaos to keep me completely invested.

BUT THAT CLIFFHANGER?!

Elle. HOW DID YOU SOMEHOW MAKE THIS ONE WORSE?! 😭

I genuinely have no idea how our boys are going to get themselves out of the situation they’re in, and I am DESPERATE to find out.

Bring on the mayhem. And PLEASE bring me some answers because I need to know how this story ends. 🖤
