I absolutely loved 99% of this story. Couldn't put it down and hated when it ended. I loved Lo so much. He fell hard, fast and unapologetically. He wanted everyone to know he was
A. Off the market
B. That Meg was his.
Meg had a past that caused horrible insecurity. This bled over into their passionate relationship and caused her a lot of pain. Lo was patient and never gave up. He was an amazing hero.
So for the 1%.. That detracted from my enjoyment.. His past was too much in my face. Everyone who knows me knows that I don't hold peoples past against them.. Especially man whore heroes. But if the hero brings it up.. Or other characters push him towards going back to those days.. And this happens repeatedly it is like ice water in my face and breaks that building emotional connection building between the hero and heroine.
Maybe it's a mood I'm in.. But I just wish book had less dialogue from the hero regarding the women he's had and how he could have any body he wanted at anytime. The reason he brought this up was clearly to say..
(paraphrase)
I want Meg.. Nobody else will do and I know because I've sampled enough to know what I want and she's special.
Also he never for one second looked at another woman in a romantic or sexual way after he laid eyes on the heroine. He was absolutely all the way in from the start. So anybody who can get past those references and one or two OW instances throwing themselves at him.. (unsuccessfully) than please give this a chance.
So his heart was in the right place but the way he could have shown her was to just keep treating her like he was and the words about his past wouldn't have been necessary.
So going forth I would hope this author who has absolutely amazing talent would keep building on the growing connection and leave all sexual history that doesn't add to the Romance or love story.. In the past.
Its not needed. You wrote a beautiful, sexy, funny and emotional story Ms. Travers.. Let those connections and romantic moments stand on their own. Can't wait to see what she has in store going forth.

Meg meets Lo when she helps his mother, whose blood sugar dropped a bit much at the dollar store. One look and that’s all she wrote for Lo. Instantly, love happens.
The Good, The Bad and Everything In Between
- Super low on the WTFery scale : It’s like a 1. There’s bikers, so there’s the requisite references to old ladies, cuts and bikes, but overall it’s pretty mild. Think more Kristen Ashley than Madeleine Sheehan hardcore. The bikers bark a bit, but not seeing the bite and that’s fine by me.
- Older hero and heroine : Though it bugs her, Lo is a year younger than Meg. That said, they’re in the mid thirties, so these are folks who’ve been around the block. In addition, Meg’s 5’10”, size 18 and she works in a warehouse and she likes it - she’s not a typical fragile flower. Like Lo, I appreciated her physicality, certainly more than she does.
- Crass and funny : Lo and Meg are salty-speaking kind of folk and I enjoyed it. There’s genuinely funny moments from Meg’s inner monologue, even when she’s drilling herself (more on that later), and I enjoyed her conversations with her best friends Cyn and Troy. Lo’s as rough around the edges as you’d expect a biker President to be, though I would have preferred that he not be violent towards any woman, even if he’s pushing them off his jock.
- Lo’s an insta-love alpha : Points to Lo for his complete and utter devotion to Meg. I mean I love how much he’s into her and there’s no other for him, so for those who hate the biker tales where the man still interacts with other women, fear not. There’s none of those shenanigans here.
- Meg’s way self deprecating : Now this book is harder for me to rate because of a couple of things, not the least of which is Meg. She’s funny and caring, and pretty much EVERY biker hits on her or wants her if Lo doesn't, but she cannot fathom her appeal. There’s discussion of what her ex-husband did to her, but not enough to really make it work as well as it could have. This story is on the lighter side, and I really would have liked to see Meg be in a better (but still not perfect) place emotionally before this romance started. It would have fit the story a bit better.
- Meg’s epiphany was mighty late and resolved quickly : The inevitable moment when her insecurities get the best of her was WAY over the top. Like I may have hurt my eyeballs, rolling them so much. Her epiphany was desperately needed, but I would have enjoyed seeing it a little earlier, so I could really believe she’s ready to be loved.
- There’s an overarching storyline : So it’s technically a bit of a cliffy, but it’s just setting up the next book with the next couple. The HEA is clear here.
The Bottom Line
I liked it. It’s not perfect but there’s potential here and I have a soft spot for the alpha who’s all about his woman. I’d read the next book in this series.

**3.5 Stars**
So this was pretty good. I enjoyed it for what it was. It was definitely a milder MC book and not much club business going on. There was some "club pu$$y" hanging around but Lo was having none of it from the first sight of Meg. He'd actually grown tired of it all before Meg came around. He was all in 100% with her. We also don't have to see some of the future heroes with OW in detail though you know they are.
I really liked Meg. She was a fork-lift driver, mom and loved baking. She had some serious hang-ups though due to her ex-husband. I felt she held onto them a little too long but I could also understand where she was coming from.
I loved Lo and how he was taken with Meg immediately...and boy he has a filthy mouth. However, I really did NOT need the repeated references to all the OW he's been with. I get why the author did this (or I'm assuming why) to show us that Meg was the best he'd ever had and would ever have etc. But it did get old after a bit and kind of ruin the moment so to speak.
Have I mentioned how I hate cliffhangers??? Luckily the next book is available or I'd be pissed. Moving on...

I saw this one recommended on GR and decided to try it. It was a pretty good, lite MC romance. The first couple of chapters were kind of iffy but the longer I read I kind of liked the romance. It's got that KA style to it and there's nothing dark in it, no violence, etc. But Lo, the H, is really a hot, alpha, OTT possessive man and the author sure knows how to write some steamy love scenes. The author makes the other MC members jump out at you and the next book is about an interesting MC member, Rigid the SAA. The h is not your usual glamorous beauty, she's 36, a size 18 and a normal mother of a 16 year old. I would give it a 3.5 and think it's worth the read if you want a lighter, KA style romance with hot guys.

1.5* because Lo was totally loyal!!! Spoilers and rantish behavior ahead...........
This book had a lot of potential, I haven't read a man as dedicated and determined as Lo in quite a while but alas the execution left a lot to be desired. Though Lo is the president of the mc there were only vague references to the guys going on s run and a meet up with some guys because Lo and his guys are coming out of the illegal stuff and planning to open legitimate businesses( of course a strip club is #1)
Lo and Meg met when she assisted his mom at the store, they meet for drinks as thanks. From the first,, kiss on her forehead Lo knew Meg was it for him and he set about proving that to her.
Meg is a 36? Year old factory worker, divorced mother of one. Her ex was an asswipe and eroded Meg's confidence in the years they were together. While I understood that Meg thought she was fat and that Lo could do better I really didnt need to be smacked in the face with it for 95% of the book!!! It was extremly aggravating that no matter how much Lo told her he only wanted her she couldn't see past her own lack of confidence. I love seeing a woman come into her own and this was an excellent opportunity for that but nope Meg stuck to her bs until Lo gave her an ultimatum. Then in the space of probably one chapter she finally figures shit out. Actually Meg thats just too damn little too late!!! After enduring her back and forth for the entire book I was wayyyyyyyyyyy over her insecurities and felt no empathy for her at all. Matter of fact I dearly wanted to smack Meg with her own book!!!
We are told Meg has a teenaged son but aside from one brief appearance that child was basically Casper. What's the sense of having a single mother and not having any interaction between the son and the new man in her life especially as said son knew his dad hadnt done right by his mom?!??
Meg was so awesome every guy wanted her, including all the guys in Lo's mc but of course oblivious Meg still thinks she isn't all that.
Meg's friends were as cliched as she was
She said Lo way too freaking much
I cannot believe her age when she actef as immature a s a teen
She cooks,bakes,is sexy as hell and sings like an angel ........oh for the love of.....
And then we have Lo, who could've been a really awesome hero except he knew some other English words and babe and fuck.....literally- babe this ,babe that ,babe the other . Sometimes babe was a whole damn sentence! all liberally sprinkled with a lot of fucks!!!! And of course he has to threaten all the guys who wanted Meg. He was a bossy,pale imitation of an Alpha hero who said fuck way to figgin much but he was still,by a wide margin better than Meg!
I however loved the fact that he wanted no other woman but Meg,even when she was being an idiot he warned the "pressure relief" pussy to leave him alone.
Lots of club chicks around but no OW drama involving Meg and all with Lo was shut down harshly.
All in all this was very disappointing, it's tough finding a loyal,sweet biker and this author didnt deliver on all thathat could've been Lo.
Words this author should retire because they've been worn out in this book-
Brother
Fuck in all forms
Lo
Babe
Pussy
Pressure relief
Even with all that I'm curious about the baby of Cyn so I may skim book 2.

Lo is looking for something other than entertaining himself with the sweetbutts that surround the club, he knows when he meets Meg he has found it. Meg had 12 years in a miserable marriage and it shattered her confidence. She can't believe that Lo would be interested in her for anything other than a fling, he is though and he is determined to get her to acknowledge that they are building something.
This had a bit of angst as Meg is struggling with being cherished. Her first husband was a dud and did nothing but criticize her so everything Lo is doing to treat her right is foreign. Had a bit of a cliffhanger ending but for a new couple you are introduced to. Anxious to read.

All in this is a short, enjoyable read, as long as you do not mind the insta insta lust/love here.
I liked both main characters, decent enough all in, although Meg seemed at one point determined to punish Lo for her ex's behaviour.
Nothing is really explored too deeply, we are told snippets of what her ex did during their marriage, bit not really enough to get why Meg seemed determined to be alone, when everything was pointing to Lo being all in with her.
Hardly ANY back story on Lo at all.
Lo and Meg's son do not meet in this book. And at one point, Meg mentions she cannot have children. Ok, but why? They are together and starting a life together, yet this fact is never brought up? Lo is only 35 - he does not want children of his own?
As I say, an enjoyable light read, but it is all only on a very superficial level and nothing gets too deep.
The relationship between Meg and Lo is a HEA but here is a cliffhanger between secondary characters and obviously leading into the next book, which I probably will read.

Five "Lo" stars
I really liked this one! I have been in a bit of a book funk and have had this in my TBR for awhile now. I'm so glad I finally decided to read it! The reviews were deceiving for me as they aren't the best but to me, this book was much better than people have said it is.
"Loving Lo" has less of a focus on MC lifestyle and more of a focus on love. It was refreshing, hot and intriguing. "King" or Logan is the president of the chapter. He meets Meg at the dollar store when she stops to help his mother. They have an instant sort of attraction but it wasn't too much to me, it made me love them even more.
Meg is an interesting heroine! She is confident, funny and different but at the same time dealing with her own insecurity issues due to her ex-husband. The story focuses a lot about coming to terms with Logan rely being interested in her and getting over her fear of being hurt.
This was an exciting start to a new MC series for me and I can't wait to read Cyn's story!
"Lo broke away and said, “What’s my name?”
"Lo.” I moaned as I leaned into him, following his retreating lips."
“It means I know what I like and I know what I want. If I wanted something that you think you’re not, I could go get it within the hour. I don’t want a woman who, when I have her naked in front of me I can see everyone one of her ribs and collarbone stick out so much, that it looks like I should feed her a sandwich and a bag of chips before we fuck. When I look at you, I just want to fuck you until you can’t walk. I want to sink my dick so far into you that I can’t tell where I end and you begin. You are the sexiest woman I have ever seen. I can’t promise forever, but I can say, I don’t see any end in sight when it comes to you and me. The thought of anyone even looking at you makes me want to rip their fucking heads off and shove them up their ass. I am going to touch and own every inch of you. You do not hide your body from me. Ever.”

5 Fantastic stars
Love that Lo/King/Logan instantly fall head over heels in love with Meg. Love it.
“Um, yeah. You can let me go.” I squirmed, twisting, trying to get out of his grip.
“Not happening. What do you want to drink?” Lo asked again and wrapped his arms around me, caging me in.
“I’m not going to fall, its ok. I can sit on the stool next to you.” I pointed at the stool hoping he would let me go. I needed him to let me go.
“I told ya, babe, not happening. I like where you are. Now, what do you want to drink?”
I gave him my “Mom Glare” and he just stared back at me, waiting for me to answer him. Apparently he was immune to my glare or he didn’t care I was irritated.
“Southern Comfort Old Fashioned sweet. Don‘t forget the cherries.” I rattled off my usual drink order to him and tried to move away from him again.
“Keep trying to get away from me, darling, and I’m going to make you sit on my lap.”
“Your bad ass biker rep is not so bad ass anymore. You keep being this sweet, I’m going to have to buy you a scooter.” I laughed as I lowered my lips to Lo’s neck.”
“I love you Meg.”
“I love you too, Lo.” I whispered back.
“Always.”
“Always.” I vowed.”
“He carefully peeled the bandage back and I heard him gasp. “I kind of took the whole ‘caged’ thing and ran with it.” I had gotten an old fashioned bird cage that had the door swung wide open with a bird flying away with the quote ‘Facing your fears will set you free’. I had Lo’s name worked into the bird’s wing. I loved it.”
“It was an intricately drawn bird made out of swirls and lines that had its wings spread high, flying. Underneath, Meg’s name was scrawled out. I planned on getting it on my side.”

Meg had a husband but after too many years of neglect and mistreatment Meg couldn't take it anymore now. Meg and her son are much happier but after years of being with her husband Mag not only put on some weight but lost herself and her confidence. While shopping one day Meg helps a older woman who is in distress and when the woman's son comes to help Meg comes face to face with the hottest man she has ever scene.
When Lo asks Meg out for drinks Meg is sure it's just a thank you for helping Lo's mom but Lo has other plans. The instant Lo saw Meg he knew she was different and he knew she was old lady material but most of all he knew he wanted her. Lo can have any woman he wants being the MC president but Meg proves to be like no other woman before. It's obvious she finds him just as attractive as he finds her but just as obvious is that she has been hurt in The past.
When Lo and Meg get together it's everything they both could have hoped for but whenever Lo feels like he's finally getting Meg to open up, Meg's fears put a stop to them moving forward, and just when Meg is sure she is finally brave enough to build a life with Lo her insecurities may end the best thing for her.
This was a nice book Lo was possessive and in love with Meg, but Meg had a lot of insecurities that weighed down a lot of the book. I did enjoy seeing Meg become more sure of herself I just would have liked it to not have taken so long. I also felt like their was a lot of potential story wise for this book but at the end of this book I felt like a lot was left unfinished, to be fair maybe this author plans to flush them out as the series progresses but I couldn't quite tell either way.
We get the beginning of book two in this story and it is set up nicely leaving us hanging at an important part of the hero and heroines story for book two, but it was nothing that would leave you feeling tortured. I did have a hard time connecting with Meg and Lo and I'm not sure why I didn't hate them but I wished I had been more drawn to them. Also I have heard a lot of people mentioning that this book reminds them of Kristen Ashley and for me I did see it, not that this is bad or good I just didn't make that connection. Overall a nice light MC read by a new author that I am interested in seeing how she grows and how this series progresses.

If I have to read the word "babe" one more time, I'm gonna flip my shit. That word was so overused in this book that up until the last 20% I counted on most pages it was used no less than 6 times and no more than 10. My partner called during "babe" during my reading of this book at the heightened peak of my anger towards the overuse of this word and got an angry scream and my kindle thrown in gut.
Not good!!
It ruined the story for me cuz I didn't wanna carry on when every sentence he talks to Meg he calls her that 2 or 3 times :(

I enjoyed this, as it had some of my favourites : Older main characters , a plus size heroine and only medium amount of WTF-ery MC club grittiness.
The heroine did have her self esteem issues that she had to work through, and the H did experience insta-love ( for her ) , but if that means I get to see the H put some effort into the relationship, I can live with it.
So, I read this really quickly ( a good sign ) and look forward to the next book in this series.

I really loved Lo. I thought that Meg was funny and cool as shit but her low self esteem got on my nerves a bit. Good start to the series though.

If there was a check list for biker-lite books, this one would have all the boxes checked. Sexy, Gruff, and dirty talking biker -check, clueless heroine -check, hot MC brothers -check, clueless best friend -check, insta-love -check….. the list goes on. One thing that it did have going for it was that I loved the playlist- eclectic doesn’t do the awesome randomness of the music mentioned in this book justice. You’ve got Journey, Fleetwood Mac, Lady Antebellum, Halestorm, Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Kate Perry, J Lo, Gym Classic Heros, Five Finger Death Punch, Led Zeppelin and lots more. I was in playlist heaven, there were a few I didn’t like but most of them worked for me.
Meg was down on love after a disastrous marriage to a douchebag. She was presented as a kick ass warehouse worker who could hold her own with the big boys, so I got my hopes up, but then you realized she had major self-esteem issues stemming from her size (she’s a curvy size 18). I can handle a little self esteem issues, but Meg took it to a whole new level of pitiful, which made me pity her but not like her as a h.
Lo (AKA King; AKA Logan) was the President of the Devil Knights MC. He was tired of meaningless hookups with skanks, met Meg and decided she was it. Cue insta-love and biker Neanderthal behavior…sort of. At one point I decided he needed to hand in his biker man card for sitting around feeling sorry for himself waiting on Meg to come to him. I like my bikers to go balls to the walls to get their woman once they decide she’s the one.
The Devil’s Knights were a 1% club or were they? When faced with a rival MC screwing with them in ways that should have resulted in some ass-kicking action, we got nothing. I did like the other members though. There were some interesting side characters that I would have like to known more about. In fact, I think the author missed some opportunities by not going deeper into these relationships. I would have loved to know more about Meg’s son, or Slider who was supposed to be a good friend of Lo’s from the other chapter. I would have also liked to seen more conflict between Meg and her ex, other than being told he was a douchebag. How about showing us some of that?
Overall, it was an okay read, but nothing really set it apart from all the other biker books popping up, except for that playlist. Have I said I really liked the playlist?

I love this book. I was lucky enough to be able to read this book ahead of time in exchange for writing a honest review. I can honestly say that Winter Travers did an amazing job with Loving Lo.
Her characters are so real. I could really feel Meg's emotions because I could totally relate to her. (insert sigh here) Lo, imagine Vin Diesel only bulk him up a little more, make him a little taller, and put him in a cut.... Yeah, that's Lo. He's one delicious book boyfriend, and I have already called dibs. ;) You will definitely fall for Lo and experience the "Lo Daze". He's badass with just the right amount of sweet, and he's mine, mine, mine. If I didn't mention that already. ;)
This is definitely one you don't want to miss, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in The Devil's Knights Series, Rigid and Cyn's story.

I really liked this one. The main character, Meg, is not the average beauty so to speak. She is a larger woman who has self-esteem issues but is trying to overcome them. She does have a quick wit and sassy attitude. Love those kind of characters and really like our main male character Lo(King) he sees past outer beauty and wants a woman who has more. Good read and it does have a cliffhanger at the end, am anxious to read the next.

I'm on an MC kick recently and this was a fun read. Nothing too complicated, hot hero/badass and a heroine with self esteem issues. All ends well for these two and I loved it!
Side note: I wish that Lo's mom hadn't "disappeared" after playing matchmaker. I liked her.

DNF at 35%. I just couldn't deal with Meg. I enjoyed Lo though and he was the only reason I made it as far as I did.

I like it, but I found the interaction between the main characters repetitive.

Hmm…
2.7 stars
Female lead got on my nerves with her waffling decisions. The plot was a little choppy. Secondary characters made the read worth the effort, which is the reason I will read the next in the series.

This is my first time reading this author. I’m gonna take a wild guess that the author is a big fan of KA’s. The writing and the biker talk was really similar.....just not done as well as KA.
I liked that the heroine was full figured (size 18). Not enough books with plus size females. Meg has major self esteem issues due to her douchebag ex-husband. Understandable in the beginning, but it was dragged out throughout the entire book....Meg thinking she wasn’t good enough for Lo. Meanwhile, we’re reminded constantly about all the women he’s banged and how he doesn’t discriminate.
”I have been with more women than I can remember. I’ve had skinny, fat, black, white, you think of it, I’ve probably done it.”
He had moments where he was sweet, but I could have done without all the reminders of the “club pussy” talk. As far as biker President’s go, he didn’t really come off as a badass. Maybe I’m just used to KA’s bikers?? I don’t know, but these guys aren’t nearly as cool in my opinion.
This ends in a cliffy, so of course I have to find out what happened to Cyn (Meg’s bff). After that, not sure I’ll continue the series.
Note: the word babe and darling are said a zillion times.

My rating: 3 stars
What I liked: I liked how this was a fast read. I also liked how Meg(h) was portrayed. After everything her ex put her through, I’m glad the author made her be cautious with getting into a relationship with Lo(H). It was also nice to see Lo shut down the club chicks. Loved how he made it known that he was off limits.
What I didn’t like: I didn’t like how we never got to read Lo meeting Meg’s son. Also I wanted more scenes with Lo’s mom.
***Major Spoilers/ Details/Triggers: h is divorced with a son. While out shopping she comes across a woman who is not feeling well. She stays with the lady until the lady’s son can come get her. The H is the lady’s son and he is the president of the MC. H asks h out for drinks and decides he wants the h. h is not so sure especially after the way her ex husband treated her. H gets called away for club business. They meet again and the again the h isn’t so sure. They decide to take one day at a time. When h shows up at the club she see a club chick hanging on the H. h leaves and H goes after her. They talk and h pushes H away. h’s friends talk her into giving the H a chance. h goes to H and they make up. HEA with bread crumbs of her friend getting beat up by the friend’s ex fiancé and they are going to help her.
Descriptive Sex: Yes
Final thoughts: This was a solid 3 star read for me. I will probably read the next one at a later date when I want a fast easy read.

This book could have been better. The editing needs work. The overuse of words a lot killed me! Darling, asshat, babe.... way, way overused! Babe was used 205 times in a 168 pages on my nook!! The story? Very incomplete!! It just kinda ends with no resolution. I get that it leads into book 2 but that’s about a different couple so this book should have been somewhat complete. I didn’t by the whole falling in love so fast stuff. They spent maybe 3 days together but no more and there was zero interaction between the Hero and the heroine’s son. Shouldn’t they at least meet in this book? I made it through this book but honestly it was a struggle so I probably won’t continue with any further books.

4 star debut
This was a new author to me and i will definitely read the next one. I loved Lo he knew straight away that Meg was his and went all out, I picked this up because I haven't read a biker book for a while. I will say if you are looking for a gritty mc story like crystal spears or Joanna wylde this is more Lani Lynn Vale or kristen Ashley as I'm a fan of all of those ladies I loved this. Looking forward to Cyn's book found this so easy to read did it in one afternoon.

I love this book! MC book's are my weakness. This book absolutely pulled me into it, and I didn't stop until I was done reading it. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

This was surprisingly good! I wish there good have been a show down with he ex-husband and maybe more involvement from her teenage kid. It was a low angst smutty read with a self-conscious heroine who finds her really self with the help of a bad biker.

Sexy
Oooh wow I loved it Meg 36 single mum doesn't believe she should have anyone.
Lo the prez of the MC meets her when he comes to get his mother and POW she's all he wants.
Will she let her walls down.
Loved it sexy sweet and just excellent.

Good story
But the author has a real problem with punctuation. Commas and periods just thrown in all Willy nilly. I enjoyed Lo's mother in the beginning and their whole meeting.

Such a great debut novel from author Winter Travers!
I enjoyed the dual POVs, how character-driven it was and the way the story flowed.
Meg, the heroine, was very likable and easy to relate to. I fell for her because of her crazy music play lists, her drunk Meg moments and for her newly coined term, "Lo Daze". It was tough to hear her berate and doubt herself at times but I understood why she struggled with a positive self-image, with everything that happened to her in her past and all. I LOVED it when she found her confidence and trashed that old perception she had of herself! You go, Meg!!
Lo, the Hero, really was an MC president dream come true. He was alpha without being overbearing, he was persistent without being a d**k, he was sweet without being a p**** and he was hot as hell. I enjoyed his interactions with the other brothers in the club and loved how easily he showed his affection/attraction to Meg, both in private and in public. Basically, he was a bad-*ss with a side of pierced teddy bear. :)
While I understand the story is ongoing, I wish there would've been more of a wrap-up with Troy's character, especially since he was Meg's BFF. I have a theory that his new senorita is involved with the Assassins somehow (a rival biker gang) but I guess I'll have to wait and see how that pans out...
Very much looking forward to book two in the series, Finding Cyn! While Loving Lo didn't technically end on a cliffhanger, I'm finding myself on the edge of my seat wondering exactly what will happen next!!
