Beauty and the Biker
I had four weeks before I shipped out again so it was sun, fun, and partying hard.
She wasn't a part of the plan.
We had one perfect month together before I had to go wheels up. Neither of us expected what happened next.
The blast left me scarred, inside and out. How could I ever be good enough for a beauty like her? She deserved better.
Now I've got the Ghost Riders Motorcycle Club, and I don't need anything else. If I can't have her, I'll never have another. A man can live without his heart...right?
Abraham has one regret—letting his Julie getaway. When he can't let go, there's only one thing left to do. Make her his.
Warning: If you want a scarred hero who's over-the-top obsessed, alpha possessive, and falls in love at first sight, take a peek inside.
*Not responsible if peek turns into a full-on read.*

Well this one did not work for me.
I was doing ok up until she took him back with zero groveling. I mean the guy fucked you over for years and you take him back with a little apology?! WTF?! Nope, he needed to grovel at least a bit.
I also HATED the shit at the end.

Wow! I love how I felt their connection. I felt both their pain and happiness. Their journey wasn't easy but in the end, they still have each other. It's a beautiful story.
It's about Abe a.k.a Savage, 27 and Julie, his 'shortcake', 18.
Abe's a marine. He's home for a few weeks then he'll be overseas again. He met her at a store and asked her to marry him. More like demanded. And he still asked her every day since then, until she said yes.
An explosion went off and he was hit. And he's a changed man after that. It breaks my heart reading their story. He tried to be a better man for her but he's scared of hurting her and thought he's doing the right thing by pushing her away and leaving her. Twice.
She was so forgiving. I know he needs to grovel but in a way, I understand his fear. And he was never with anyone else so that made me feel better.
It's also nice that he's brothers and Casper were there for him. And there's no sweet butts in their club.
There's marriage and babies.

Reread again on August 8th 2016. This book just keeps getting better and better for me here.
Abraham and Julie / Savage and Shortcake.
Their love conquered all. Their whole relationship spanning over 4 years it felt so real. Like how real people deal with their issues and being completely faithful to each other. Never sounded so real as with this book here. This has become one of my comfort read after a read a really bad cheater book.
Who knew that would happen?

Ok after rereading this book again to understand this series I have to say it's not as bad as all that. I was trying to find the triggers for his behavior and when I looked back on what happened I could see how PTSD played a major role in his life. I was reading up on this as it had an major impact on my sister life thru her now ex-husband, and all his behavior made sense. He was just too broken to be any good to any one. The fact that his MC saw that and helped him thru it all really made my enjoyment of the book. I will also say that it's more of a 5 star read because the epic grovel and the heroines actions were way beyond the call of duty given what happens (that marine bear let me just say, I cried). I finally got it. She was the best. Hands down! And she deserved every happiness and he did too. He needed her but was afraid to hurt her. He could not give her up now that his head was in the game. I loved it after the second read. Still don't like the public sex thing but hey it was hot!!!
------------------original review----------------
Wow that was hot without being trashy. He was one messed up guy and when he left her on their honeymoon I could not believe it. She was way too forgiving. He was an ass and made her do it all by herself. It was not cool how she had to do all the forgiving and understanding while he had major mental issues. He was a selfish bastard who did not even consider that she live and breath for him. I don't find him that great and I have to say I hated his character mostly. All it proved is that she loved him more then he could. She is a worthy heroine and I would have loved it if she made him sweat after he kicked her out of his life twice. I think that she was a complete idiot to take him back so easy. Yes he grovelled but it means next to nothing if he actions don't back it up. She still had to have his baby without him. She should have made him wait. She was a complete Saint. How she explained to her son his fathers absent was moving and that was when I cried because she was way way too good to be true. Amazing emotions running in that scene. Great story and the internet meme addition was cute " I love you more then bacon". Sweet.

Ok so I enjoyed this book . Yes it was insta love but I love it. Two things bothered me One h forgave him way too easily . I needed him to grovel more. I understood why he did what he did(even though he was an ass ) he was scared and needed to better himself but still there are better ways to deal. Second and this took off that extra star for me. I don't like others looking!Ithat little tiny part ruined this 4 star read for me.haha I'm sure for some it won't bother but for me a true Alpah would of said Hell no!! Just my opinion.

I liked it. I know the hero kept leaving the heroine but...
A long time ago I knew a marine who had ptsd bad... One night he woke up yelling and punching things, grabbed his gun and ran outside. He remembered nothing. He lived with his brother who tried everything to calm him. To watch that, see the lost hurt not only in his eyes but his brother's, I get why homie left. It's scary. To watch someone snap who isn't in control of their actions. So I get it.
Should more graveling have been done? I don't know. She loved him, he loved her and they live HEA. It short, sweet and to the point, just as Alexa Riley's other books.

I don't give a shit what anyone else thinks about this book because I fucking loved it.
Loved how broken Abe was but how soft he could still be for his Julie.
There was the traditional AR smoking hot sex but with the added grit of a proper story too.
"Once you've had a taste of perfection, nothing will ever compare."

I've read a shitton of Alexa Riley at this point. I thought I was...numbed to AR due to the extreme amounts of her I read.
OMG.
I was NOT read for this one. Beauty and the Biker is quite disgusting on several different levels. Several.
And I thought Pulling Her Trigger was problematic (and squicky).
So. Beauty and the Biker stars when the H/h meet at a grocery store, about 1 month before the hero deploys to Afghanistan. This means that the couple had about 30 or so days together before the shit hits the fan. And that's where it all fell apart for me.
The hero is wounded while on tour and this began an atrocious cycle that made my eyes bleed. The hero, Abe, is wounded and disfigured so he sends the heroine - Julie - away, breaking her heart. He finally gets himself together physically and somewhat emotionally (over a long period of time) and then shows up again.
When Abe showed up, Julie jumped right back into his arms. He barely said "I'm sorry" before everything was "good." They run off, get married and then he leave she AGAIN that next morning because he had a flash back. They don't see each other again for TWO FUCKING YEARS. He shows up, grabs her and they are fucking before the "I'm sorry" stopped echoing.
UGH
Julie never made him wait, never looked for another, barely made him say "sorry." Ugh.
Abe is so fucking selfish that his selfish thought he was selfish. I hated Abe. And I disliked Julie.
Then the ending. O_O WHAT.THE.FUCK. Just gross and squicky and gross.
I am not enjoying these Alexa Riley motorcycle books. At all.

I think this is the worst book from Alexa Riley that I've read yet. It was tedious. The push and pull from "savage" was freaking annoying. Make up your mind already!!! You decide if you want to go with her or not, don't be a wimp and stop making excuses.
2020: STILL HATED THIS BOOK SO MUCH

Disappointed with this one big time. Heroine forgave him way too easily and I needed groveling of epic proportions. No way would I have forgiven or taken someone back after leaving me like that.
March 17, 2017
Alexa, Alexaa.. why do you do this to me?? I LOVE your books and the smut...sex within it. It is so special and kinky and just what my twisted fantasies need. What was this baby? You know you can do way better. This was vanilla, you don't do vanilla there are plenty of crappy vanilla writers out there. So I hope you can give me some sprinkles next time. Please. Thank you.

I was at 5 stars for 99% of this book but some small personal taste issues concerning things that I don't read or want to even think about took away from a book that was almost perfect.I mean I had so many things highlighted.. Savage was like OMG so just amazing..even when he was breaking my heart. I felt ..bad for him and wanted to shake him at the same time. But he groveled so well and I was falling right along with Julie.
Totally personal taste and comfort zone issues..partly not even having to do with the couple but the heroine from the last book. I went from loving her to being nauseated.
Then something Savage allowed to take place..even though it was five minutes made me lose respect for his possessiveness. What he let happen towards the end was totally AGAINST an alpha's POSSESSIVENESS and also cheapened his whole personality ..making it seem FAKE. It made me HATE PREZ and nothing will make me every believe he won't want Savage's woman from here one out. It was sick..just not good at all. Savage shouldn't have let this scene happen and it was like he was another person.
If you respected what he did and you liked what he did that great for you. But nobody will ever convince me he is a possessive man again..EVER.
I think we all have what we want from our heroes and up until that point he was awesome. But .. those 5 minutes just had me so sick that it nearly took all the good feelings away. And I know ..its just me.. but I want possessive all the time.. and the things Mac said made her seem like someone else. Poor Vincent. I have my likes and my dislikes so this is just me not the author or the book.
If those few minutes hadn't have happened this book would have totally taken my heart. I wish I could have just not had that whole scene in the book. But ..oh well. I still adore Alexa Riley and her OTT Alpha heroes. I think that's what broke my heart is that whole scene wasn't alpha enough for me.
Still will be eager to see what this author does next. She's 60/40 for my book tolerance right now. I just like possessive one woman heroes who don't share and are loyal from day one. Gimme more Alexa.

Wow! that was so intense and so emotional. Loved how broken and tortured Abe was! He kept pushing Julie away but he was in so much pain.I loved how fast she forgave him. He didn't deserve so much misery. I cried when he finally met his cute son. Great chemistry, secret baby, faithful hero and heroine, sweet epilogue. Alexa Riley rocks my world!
July 17, 2020
Maybe it was because of how short this book but I'm not over him leaving her and I'm still super mad about it. I wouldn't have forgiven him as easily. She basically waited and pined over him for years. I know he did the same but HE was the reason they weren't together. It was a voluntary choice. I'm not in a very forgiving mood for it.

My ONLY issue was Abe aka Savage got off easy even given some slack for his issues..Julie forgave him way too fast and way too many times..

When I read an Alexa Riley book, I know what I'm getting. My expectations aren't high. I'm not saying the books aren't good because they are in terms of what your getting. And what you are getting are short hot fast erotic reads that doesn't focus too much on plot or execution. It's the literary version of a "wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.". :) And I'm fine with that. Usually. This one however just didn't do it for me. The hero was a selfish, whiny, man-baby whose need to wallow in self pity and dispair caused him to abandon the heroine not once but twice. When she accepted him back the first time I was semi okay. Young love makes you do stupid stuff and it had only been a few months. When she takes him back the second time, with no groveling or even one kick in the nuts? No. I understand he had PTSD and other issues and had he left to straighten his self out then I would have been more forgiving. But instead he spends all his time drinking and doing drugs. He only goes to find her BOTH times because he suspects she might be hooking up with someone else. Meh.

This is a love story that spans over several years.
Abe spots Julie across a crowded bar, their eyes meet and they were both goners.... okay a slight exaggeration there.... it was in a department store and Abe was the goner. Getting Julie on the same page took a bit longer than that but it was worth it in the end. They fell fast and hard. Then Abe got shipped out again, in his military job with promises of forever love to each other.
The Abe that returns, is not the same man that left. He is injured and suffering from nightmares, however he and Julie manage to overcome everything and get back on track. Until one night it all goes tits up.
As Abe struggles to deal with his PTSD, Julie is going through her own personal stuff too. They both really deserve some happiness, if only they can find forgiveness first.

This is the story of Abe and Julie. Abe is a marine and he when he meets Julie he knowns she is the one for him. Young Julie is inexperienced when it comes to love but the month she gets to spend with Abe is precious to her. When he leaves, she fears he won't come back alive. A horrific accident changes their plans. When Abe is hurt in the war, his attitude about life changes. He becomes a bitter, scarred man and he pushes Julie away.
When he realises what he has lost will it be too late?
This was a fast paced book and the author tried to handle a lot of subplots in this story. I think the various aspects of the story needed to be expanded so the reader could feel the full impact of the characters' decisions. I liked the premise but I do think that Abe's decisions were too reckless and Julie forgave him far too easily. I would have loved some more character development, but aside from that this was a fun book with a lot of sexiness.
3.5 Stars.
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Ugh I feel like this book could have been wayyyy better.
I'm a sucka for alpha males and insta-love so I thought this book could've satisfied my need for them, but it just fell... flat.
Now don't get me wrong, this book had sooo much potential. The first half was amazing, and I fell in love with Abraham and how he wasn't afraid to show his feelings for Julie. But when he left, it just went downhill from there.
I would've forgiven him the first time he left her because the way he loved Julie was just so damn cute.
But when he left a SECOND time. I. Was. Done.
I expected a lot of groveling. But of course (ugh) she forgave after he said a few 'I'm sorry's and 'I love you's. In my mind that just made her look weak.
And I like my heroines strong and not afraid to give them hell. After that the book just felt rushed. I would've liked a few more chapters with AJ, and see a more stronger bond grow within their family.
This was a bust. But I saw the potential so hopefully the next one in the series is better.

3.5 Abe and Julie Stars
Abe (Savage) is a 27 year old marine and Biker. Julie is an 18yr old college girl. When they meet there is an instant attraction between them but Abe only has a month before heading out on another tour with the Marines. These two fall hard for each other but their connection is harshly tested when tragedy strikes.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It's a quick read. Abe is a sweet guy but he is drowning in his demons with PTSD. Julie is very forgiving and they both remain loyal to each other despite bring apart for a good portion of time. I think I would have liked a bit more depth to Julie's character particularly. At times I wanted the story to slow down and tell me a bit more about her in particular , especially during the separation.
This book is a real mix of military and MC biker. Lots of sex and swearing so recommend over 18's only.

Love triangle?
Cheating?

Would I read more by this author/or in this series? Maybe, but not for now.
Rating: 2 stars
Review
The first half of the story was just a big mess. I briefly read the scenes, since they weren't interesting at all. The second half was better, but not by much.
I really disliked the H, since he always seemed to just hurt the h and he then always went to his knees and said sorry, but did nothing to back up his words. Also the h forgave him way too soon.
I liked the epilogue, tho. :)

Would I read more by this author/or in this series? Maybe, but not for now.

Review
The first half of the story was just a big mess. I briefly read the scenes, since they weren't interesting at all. The second half was better, but not by much.
I really disliked the H, since he always seemed to just hurt the h and he then always went to his knees and said sorry, but did nothing to back up his words. Also the h forgave him way too soon.
I liked the epilogue, tho. :)

Julie conoce por primera vez a Abe en un supermercado. El es un arrogante presuntuoso pero por mucho que ella diga que no, al final sus ojos de cachorrito la acaban convenciendo. Y lo que se trataba de una tarde se convirtió en un mes en el que ella descubrió el amor. Pero cuando Abe volvió a marcharse tuvo un accidente y creyó que no era suficientemente bueno para ella, nunca lo sería. Pero había cosas que él no llegaría a conocer hasta años más tarde...
Me gustó, obviamente, pero la actitud de Abe no. Es que tenía este chip de me voy cuando las cosas salen mal, que me sacaba de quicio. Sí, estabas mal pero Julie solo quería estar ahí para ti y tu decidiste por los dos y luego te perdiste todo claro.
Por lo demás, ya sabéis, lo mejor siempre con Alexa jajajaja

Another short, but enjoyable read. I loved how Abe and Julie were when they were together- they had chemistry and were very sweet to each other. I liked seeing their relationship grow. I felt terrible for what Abe went through, but the separations were too much. There was a short separation and then a 3 year separation. I appreciated him being celibate those 3 years, but I wish it hadn't been that long. Safety gang safe

This would have been a higher rating if not for the random sex scene at the end. Not a fan of H/h having sex infront of others. To me that doesn't really seem very possessive of the Hero.
Also, although I understood what the Hero had been through I think the heroine forgave him too fast.

Savage is hot!
I love this second book in this series. I like how the characters in the first book are also in this one. I'm wondering who the next book will be about - Lucius or Knox?

The story was good but it moved a little too quickly. And the heroine forgave the hero way too quickly for my liking. There was a nice HEA ending so that was def a plus. I am curious about book one. :)

Beauty and the Biker (Ghost Riders MC, # 2)
Quick read, enjoyable. Started reading this series out of order so I figured I would read the rest of the series. First time reading anything written by Alexa Riley, and I quite enjoyed their writing.

I understand why he was so scared. And I could feel his love for her the whole time.

I want to taste Bacon. It was such a big deal in this book that I want to know what it's all about :').
Julie was stupid. Ugh she made me mad!!!! I am not against love and falling head over heels for someone, but she was pushing it!! She didn't even try to stay angry for a day.
This just showed me how weak she is.
I hated that.
"Some people talk about the zing you feel when you first touch someone you’re meant to fall in love with. Well, I didn’t feel a zing, I felt a shift. Like watching a sunset and feeling the calm settle in your heart. That’s what happened when I held her hand. My fingers wrapped around hers, and I felt her fall into place with me. It was the oddest sensation of my life, and I stood there, silently changing, knowing the change was permanent."~
Abe spent 70% of this book just kneeling and apologizing that became a clichè. And I was like just stop it!! He only knew how to escape.
I understand his struggle and all, of course it's not easy, but he just lost it. And I couldn't even accept his pain. He was an asshole!!!!
"When you love someone, their struggles become yours, and their hurt is your hurt. I never wanted him to carry this on his own, but he needed to in order to see that together we are stronger. We’ve both been through so much, and though we didn’t think it was possible, our fairy tale has come true. It didn’t go according to plan, and it didn’t follow the path we thought it would, but here we are, together and having our happily ever after."~
I couldn't connect much with his friends. Even Julie's parents weren't that great and they had no reactions to what happened. Who does that?
I feel sorry for little A.J, he deserves more :')
It was a little plain beauty and the biker for me this time.
