Being the single mom of a beautiful five-year-old was hard. I’d struggled since the day I gave birth to my daughter when I was eighteen. So when we got the opportunity of a lifetime—to start over somewhere new—it was a no-brainer. We had to go. What I never expected was to find him.
With one look, our whole world changed. Travis became everything to us. For once, we were carefree and happy. We had everything we’d always dreamed of.
Then things started happening...
Travis
Bailey came out of nowhere and changed my life completely. I’d never known what living was until her eyes connected with mine and my world imploded. My days now revolved around her and the beautiful little girl I loved as my own.
Bailey and her daughter were now my family, and I vowed to protect them at all costs.
What I never expected was for someone to want to hurt Bailey.
If he ever tries to breathe the same air as Bailey and Gabby again—that’ll be the last thing he’ll ever try to do. By the time it’s over, he’ll consider Hell a welcome treat.
I have to admit that Leann Asher does a good job of keeping her stories safe. I know that it has to be a challenge when writing an MC story to keep it like that and I for one appreciate it. Some repetition and endearments being used excessively but it was an ARC and I’m sure the final release will not be like that (for those that are bothered by those issues). This is a story about a single mom who has fought hard to make ends meet and her new beginning with the MC.
HERO Travis was a great hero. He knew immediately that Bailey was it for him. He was patient, kind and so loving with Bailey’s daughter, Gabby. He was like a big teddy bear with them but when danger came he turned into a major papa bear
HEROINE Bailey had it pretty rough. A single mom who was abandoned by not only her ex boyfriend but her parents as well. She sacrificed tremendously so her daughter had all of her needs met. There was an internal thought early on that set the tone for me with her and I had to bounce back from. She meets another member of the MC who is a really hot older man and he is with his old lady. She thinks to herself that her dream of being with an older man is shattered. If it was to be a joke, it fell flat for me. It just made me look at her like Travis wasn’t enough. Also, I’m not wild about OTT aggressive females who are physically fighting with people and she across as alpha-ish. So if that isn’t your bag, then heads up on that
OW DRAMA Zero OW drama
OM DRAMA Bailey had an ex who stirred up trouble
STEAM There was steam but not a huge amount
SEPARATION no separation. They meet and are together from the start
SECONDARY CHARACTERS one thing I like is that Leann keeps her secondary characters safe. That way when their stories come, they are safe.
VIOLENCE MC violence but nothing of a sexual nature
SAFETY neither are with others after they meet
ENDING Great epilogue with teasers for future stories.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Bailey became a mother at a young age, and though it has admittedly been a struggle, she doesn't regret having her daughter, Gabby. When the chance for a fresh start came up, she took it. She just never expected to find her forever at the same time.
The second I saw Bailey and Gabby I knew my life would change, and I eagerly embraced it. In an instant, they became my world and I would do anything to keep my new family happy. But I never thought danger would be coming for them.
Bailey had been abandoned by those who should've supported her, so she's understandably a bit leery about trusting someone again, but Travis shows her over and over that he's not like anyone she's ever known. As they get to know each other and adjust to becoming a family, Travis needs to make sure the threat to their future is silenced once and for all.
Can Travis keep them safe? How far will someone go to get what they want? Can Bailey adjust to the MC life?
One-click now and follow along as two people fall in love in an instant and work toward building their lives together. On a side note, and this is purely a personal preference, one part bothered me and that's when Bailey thinks, after meeting an older member and his old lady, that she won't get to fulfill her dream of being with an older man. What? Um, no. You don't think something like that when you've met the love of your life. I felt bad for Travis, as if he was second best, or maybe she wishes she'd met Travis later and gotten to be with an older man first.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.**
Travis was the third book in the Grim Sinners MC series by LeAnn Ashers.
Travis was the cousin to Wilder, book two. He was the typical over the top alpha expected in the Grim Sinners MC. We met Bailey and her daughter Gabby in Hawaii in Smiley, book one the Grim Sinners MC Originals. Adeline had befriended Bailey, recognizing the single mom needed support and a fresh start. Bailey packed Gabby and left for Texas with Adeline to begin their new life.
Travis had everything that Ashers MC series are known for: troubled characters, insta-love, MC support, and over the top drama with a kumbaya ending. It is recommended for those looking for easy love, easy fixes and a fast read with an HEA.
LeAnn Ashers is my go-to author for MC romances. Travis and Bailey were a great couple and Gabby was adorable. I loved reading about all the other previous couples and seeing what they were up too and the new ones as well. And as always the epilogues were amazing!! Looking forward to the next book that comes out.
This one was way shorter than the last last one.. and we saw snips of Travis and Bailey in Smiley. Now it's their turn
Travis finally gets his turn and he is in love already with Bailey and her little daughter. Love a man who is a sweetheart for kids.
And they have a cute connection.. like one of the girls said its hawt seeing a biker dad lol. As for Bailey she had a rough life but she was still super mom making sure her child was taken care of.. even if she had to miss meals to feed her child..
Beside the cute and romance drama was around some guys causing trouble and the ex bf/father of her child kidnapped her to get money..
Also.. why does she admire smiley again? She met him? She knows who he is? So why does it sound like she's meeting him for the first time. Cuzzz he was the one along with his woman who brought her from Hawaii??
Beside that the only thing i dislike is the OTT alpha woman.. i don't really buy this "scared all my life" than BANG kicking grown ass woman and mens ass.. i don't buy it.. please tone down the alphaness..
No ow drama slight om drama (ex bf) no cheating, drama, secondary charas, sexy times, no virgins or manwhores
Recommend- maybe Cover-⭐⭐⭐

Okay. I don't think this was a bad book in a sense I don't think this book was for me. I don't know whether it's because I haven't read the other 2 from the Grim Sinners MC series that I really didn't know the majority of these characters. Usually, these books are standalone and that's how I took this. From the moment I started this book, I was a little confused because none of the characters really got a proper introduction at least not for me (this author is new to me author).
The book was very fast paced and all a little too fairytale for my liking. Which sounds pretty bizarre considering it's an MC book but for me it was all nice and wrapped in a little bow and it felt like the author was playing everything safe.
As I say I don't think this was a bad book it just wasn't for me.
LeAnn Ashers outdid herself again!! This book is out of the park and exceeded all my expectations. The bond between Travis and Bailey's daughter from the start was so beautiful to see. I love that LeAnn doesn't beat around the bush and gives it to her readers as it is. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Travis' character - the bad boy + kind man vibe made me a fan. I also love how LeAnn portrays her female characters as total badasses. Bailey's strength and how she raised her daughter, given her past, is commendable. I also loved to see a little glimpse of Wilder and Joslyn since Travis was a part of their stories so much as well. I selfishly hoped that the epilogues could be more detailed and give the readers more stuff to swoon over. But all in all, the book is amazing and I am so thankful that I got an ARC. :) Great job LeAnn! Cant wait for another MC book. x
(I got an ARC of this book. The review is not biased and all thoughts are my own)
Aghhhh! Travis was amazing. He knew when he found the one and he made sure it stuck. This was a sort of instalove story but sometimes it’s just what I need and this book hit the spot. With low drama, awesome secondary characters and a beautiful love story, Travis and Bailey were truly an amazing couple. We know who will come next for this author and I for one can’t wait. I don’t want to give too much away from this story. Even with the fact that the drama level isn’t super high, all the sweet moments with these characters should just be experienced. I can’t wait for more. 5 stars #2OCCJD
A lovely, sweet story. Travis had made his mind up on Bailey as soon as he laid his eyes on her and her sweet little girl Gabby, somehow he had to prove his worth, because he knew she was the one for him. The “insta” caring and love that the handsome biker shows Bailey is beautiful and the bond he forms with Gabby her daughter is remarkable. And the tough biker is nonexistent when he’s with Bailey except when possession and safety needs show. I loved this tale. There’s not much action but Gabby and Travis make it up with some great little kiddy interaction and there’s great bantering with Bailey. A definite must read!
Bailey doesn't know how she got so lucky to meet Adeline. Before she knows it, she is on a plane to Texas with her little girl flying to a new life. When a beautiful woman and her sweet little girl step off the plane, Travis knows she is the one. Petite and beautiful inside and out with a daughter he can't help but love, Travis will do whatever it takes to get them and keep them forever. Bailey is scared and isn't sure that she should take a chance on this gorgeous and kind man and risk her heart. Love can't be this easy, can it?
I have been a fan of Leann Ashers for a little while. She is queen of the safe MC reads with insta-love and all the intensity you could want. From the first page, this book was like coming home. The characters are all ones we have come to know and love from previous stories. Travis is a member of the Grim Sinners and like so many guys that Ms. Ashers writes so well, he is the whole package that any woman would love to date. He is so sweet and caring, protective and devoted. Bailey is a sweetheart who was dealt a bad hand but has not let it poison her. Her daughter Gabby a little diva cutie that it is impossible to dislike. Bailey knows Travis is amazing and doesn't take long to realize that the risk is worth the reward. I loved every moment I spent with these two and their MC family. I can't wait to go back and re-read the whole series! 6 stars for Travis!
Travis knew Bailey was the one as soon as he landed eyes on her and her beautiful little girl, Gabby. There was not one bit of “biker” that showed through when it came to his love for his woman or her daughter. If someone crossed any line when it came to how they should be treated that’s when the “all biker essence” came through. It was then that he was every part of the man who let nothing stand in his way of punishing the person. This book will definitely make you swoon.
When this book popped up on my kindle I dropped everything and dove right in! Travis is a long awaited book so I wasn’t wasting one second to meet him fully.
We have seen Travis in previous books. He’s the goofball. The man that milks being sick so the women will baby him.
No one including Travis saw him settling down anytime soon. The moment he sets his eyes on Bailey he literally trips over thin air. A tongue tied mess. One of my favorite moments! The big man had fallen!
Travis takes to Bailey and Gabby like he had been with them their whole life. Gabby‘s child innocence and sense who is good and bad. She claims Ravis immediately. She is his and he is hers. One of the most beautiful relationships o have read between in a while. He knew she was meant to be his daughter from day one.
Bailey is struggling to give Gabby a good life. She has given up so much for her daughter to not go without. She is trusting people she just met to help her and that is a huge deal for her. Trust doesn’t come easy after the mess her ex left her in when she got pregnant.
Bailey is the glue to this whole story. She settles Travis. He brings her security. They are yin and yang. They balance each other. Two halves of one soul.
Travis has a special place in my heart and always will. His story brought me so much joy and I felt like I was watching a friend get his happily ever after.
Bailey is raising her daughter all alone, working three jobs at a time to make ends meet, and not eating most days so that her daughter never lacks anything. When the story begins she is moving away from her old life, after a friend offers her to start her life over with the Grim Sinners MC. As soon as Travis and Bailey meets sparks fly, and they don’t waste any time. Travis wil stop at nothing to protect Bailey and his daughter when danger starts lurking around.
The blurb from this book really interested me, and I couldn’t wait to start this book since it has been a long time since I read a good MC book. This was also my first book from this author, and I honestly don’t know if I will read her work again soon…
I liked the main story and where this was going.
I did NOT like the writing. I thought everything was too fast paced, there was barely any development or description, I felt no connection whatsoever with the characters.
I POSSIBLY would have given it 2.5 - 3 STARS if EVERYTHING wasn't the same for each book....
In EVERY BOOK...
- The heroine is either a virgin or hasn't had sex so long she's a "born again virgin". - The heroine has never had an orgasm from from a man, even those who aren't virgins (I think in only one book a heroine had given herself one). - The men are badasses but are always perfect gentlemen to their women. When I say perfect, I mean perfect....as in unreal. - The MC can kill, assault, torture anyone they choose (in any town or state) without the police finding out. And if the police DO find out, they are always on the side and/or in pocket of the MC. - If someone is kidnapped they are found right away without anything traumatic happening. - The heroines kinda seem helpless, but if someone threatens a friend or loved one, they become ass kicking ninjas. - The MC men are always so scary that they make every person they barely threaten piss their pants. Quite a few of them even shit themselves. The town of Raleigh is full of incontinent people. - If you even talk about raping these women, the women will come after your dick with a tazers and/or a guns. And if they don't get you, the men will. - Both MC's (The Grim Sinners and Devils Souls) each "own about 50 companies", oh brother. It would take a monstrous amount of people, time and effort to keep 50 businesses going and yet, these guys have all the free time in the world! - All of them are always shot at in their bulletproof trucks or SUVs so that they can go on and on about how smart it was that that they upgraded their vehicles and clubhouse with bulletproof glass. - The heros want to start having babies before they tell profess their love or offer any real commitment like their property patch or an engagement ring to the heroine. - Speaking of engagement ring, every heroine ends up with a gaudy diamond encrusted ROSE GOLD engagement ring - When they get married, the MC hero never let's the heroine walk down the aisle, he always meets her halfway, too impatient to kiss the hell outta her and piss the priest off.
ALSO THE AUTHOR NEEDS BETTER BETA READERS/PROOFREADERS
OH Man, Wouldn’t we all love to have a guy like Travis. Kudo’s to Ms. Ashers for giving us a very well written book with a wonderful storyline and characters that are so well defined you’ll feel like you are right there living the story with them. The characters are strong, independant, warm and oh so romantic.
Bailey, is a been through the toughest of times and came out a strong independent woman who is afraid of very little. She got pregnant at 18 by an older man, at which point her parents threw her out with a bag and $100. The baby’s daddy did nothing for them. Bailey has struggled for years to give her daughter, Gabby, a good life, but she is still struggling day by day. One day she meets one of the ole ladies of the Grim Sinner’s MC and is offered a second chance at life if she’s willing to move to Texas. Bailey jumps at the chance. Once Bailey lands in Texas, the story takes off. Waiting to drive her to her new home is Travis, a member of the MC. From the moment Bailey and her daughter step off the plane Travis wants her for his. Travis’s softer, processive side comes out, a side few see. But Bailey has been through so much that winning her over and allowing him to fight her battles will take time, but he’s willing to do whatever it takes. As for Gabby, Bailey’s 5 year old daughter, OMG she will steal your heart. She is a precocious child that will have you laughing at every turn and boy does she wrap Travis (or Ravis as she calls him) around her little finger.
When trouble from Bailey’s past comes calling with the intention of hurting what’s his, Travis’s ‘Biker Mode’ comes out and boy oh boy what a change. This is a very romantic, sexy, thrilling storyline that will warm your heart. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 stars for a great book/series. I Highly Recommend grabbing them all up and enjoy the family/brotherhood that makes up the Grim Sinner’s MC, Texas Chapter. Just an FYI: The reader is anxiously awaiting Book 4 in the series.
Travis by Leann Ashers is bk 3 in the Grim Sinners MC series. It is such a beautiful , amazing and exciting story. It's full of feels, romance, action, friendship, love, passion and heat. Travis and Bailey's love was more of an insta-love affair. Travis fell hard for Bailey's daughter and the story grew from the first interaction. Travis and Bailey are so good together- it doesn't feel forced. My heart hurt for all Bailey had endured and yet showed how strong she was. This is a theme in all Ms. Ashers books with her female main characters, they are strong women and that's great to read. I don't want to give too much of the story away but there's alot that occurs which explains things about why Bailey's past and it affects her present. I enjoyed reading the love between her and Travis and the sweet love that happened between Travis and Bailey's daughter. This was such a beautiful story. I can't wait to read the next book in the Grim Sinners series.
3.85 stars I enjoy biker books, (who doesn't) and this one was no different. It was love at first sight for Travis when he met Bailey and her daughter Gabby. He knew that she would be his women no matter what. Bailey was kicked out by her parents when she fell pregnant and since then she has been on her own just her and her daughter. Now she gets a chance to start over and she can't believe that there are people in the world like Travis and the Grim Sinners. People willing to accept her and make her life just a little bit easier.
There wasn't much drama in this book, like I said love at first sight for these two and everything after that was just sweet and low drama. There was drama with Bailey's mom and some other bikers but for the most part, it was just a drama free. Not a bad story, but me, love my drama and action, especially in a MC Story Hope Aiden's book is next though!
Bailey was a single mother who has been struggling. When the opportunity arrived for a fresh start, Bailey took her daughter and accepted it. Bailey didn't expect to meet Travis, nor did she expect Travis to insert himself in her life. As they grow close though there is a threat to Bailey no one expected. Will Travis be able to keep Bailey and Gabby safe?
Another great addition to the Grim Sinners series. I thought Bailey was very sweet and felt bad for her past. Travis is a perfect match for Bailey, highly entertaining.
I love the fact that this author keeps coming up with great storylines and amazing characters as well as keeping all her series’s going in tandem. These stories are about over coming their difficulties and finding their people. Each book is a different story but follows on the main background theme. Looking forward to the next book
I just loved this one. Instant family and instant love. I just loved what her daughter calls Travis. Ravis its so fucking cute. I just can't wait to read the next book!!!
Travis is the 3rd book in the Grim Sinners MC series and this guy will not only steal the heart of Bailey and Gabby but yours too. Bailey is a single mum who has struggled for years and has had more knock downs in life than she would have liked. However, she shows her strength with the way she dusts herself off and keeps on moving forward. Travis might be a big bad biker on the outside but for his girls he is just a big old softy on the inside. A MC romance that will give you just enough grit and action to keep you engaged and enough heat and steam to keep you warm from head to toe. A story that takes you cruising the streets on the back of a bike at high speed giving you all the thrills and spills that you could ever want.
This is the third story of the Grim Sinners MC and it was Travis's turn to find his HEA and I was so happy that Travis, Bailey and her little girl, Gabby became a real family :) These two have to overcome obstacles to reach their happily ever after but they do and it was beautiful <3 :)
Like every book i have read if LeAnns i claim the male lead character as my own amd this one is no different. Travis has a heart of sheer gold. Not only is he hot tattooed and extremely alpha. He is kind, thoughtful, caring , funny and protective. When he meets Baily off the plane his world literally trips on its axis and things for Travis will never be the same again.
Bailey is a beautiful single mother to an even more beautiful little girl named Gabby. Bailey has gone through hell . Getting kicked out of home for becoming pregnant at 18. With nothing but a bag and one hundred dollars to her name she was on her own trying to survive and eventually raising a beautiful baby girl all on her own no support no family and no friends . But then Travis comes along and Bailey and Gabbys life changes for the better. Having to learn to depend on someone makes it hard for Bailey because she's done everything on her own so trying to break habbits and letting her walls down for travis has been hard to say the least. With old mc rivals causing havoc and finding out serets from her past Bailey knows that she can handle anything life throws at her with Travis by her side. LeAnn brings forth stories to life and you find yourself so drawn to each and every character because theres always a little bit of yourself in each person . The characters are strong and relatable and each story leaves you wanting more.
Another amazing story by one of my favorite authors , I'm such a fan of this series I was so excited to see that this heroes book was next he so stole my heart with how he is with the heroine and her adorable daughter . This can be read as a standalone but I recommend that you read them in order and while you're at it you should one click all of the authors books . I didn't want this book to end but what a ending I can't wait to see what's to come by the author and the series .

Travis is book three in the Grim sinners MC series. This story is short, fast paced and action packed. I devoured this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I have been eager to read Travis and Bailey’s story since we met Bailey in the previous book (smiley). I really enjoyed this book. I love Bailey, Gabby and Travis. I love that Bailey had a temper and could protect herself. I liked that it was on par with Shaylin. The chemistry between Bailey and Travis was clear to see and I loved them as a couple. They’re perfect for one another. I liked that Travis instantly bonded with Gabby. Gabby is hilarious and so cute! I loved that she called Travis ‘’Ravis’’. The edge of danger in this story had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t wait to see it play out but I was happy that Bailey had Travis. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is a nice read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.
More insta-love and devoted H who will do anything for his girl. In this story Bailey is a single mom rescued by Smiley and Adeline who comes to Texas with them with her young daughter.
Probably the most far-fetched of the series (which is saying something) but enjoyable. The timeline doesn't always jive and it pulls me out a little but not a big thing.
WOW!! I don't know where to begin!! I absolutely loved this book!! I love all of LeAnn Ashers books but the Grim Siiners MC and Devil Souls MC series are my favorite!! Travis is book #3 in her Grim Sinners MC series and while it can be read as a standalone I strongly recommend reading them in order you won't be disappointed!! This is Travis and Bailey's story!! I was hooked right from the beginning all the way to the end, I couldn't put it down and finished it in an hour!! We already know Travis from the first 2 books, but we really got to know him in Wilder's book!! Travis is not only Wilder's brother in the MC they are also cousins!! I loved Travis's character he's funny I loved how he would get on Wilder's nerves. We also saw how sweet he is, how he loved and cared for Joslyn we got to see how much he wanted what Wilder and Joslyn had!! When Adeline and Smiley brought Bailey and Gabby home we knew what was coming!! From the moment Travis saw Bailey and Gabby he was hooked!! They both became his from that moment on!! Bailey has had a really rough life, she was so young and suffered through so much but she was also so strong!! She raised Gabby all by herself with no friends or family to help her!! She worked her ass off to make sure that Gabby had everything she needed!! She went without alot but she never complained as long as her daughter had everything she needed that was all that mattered!! From the moment they became Travis's we knew that they would never go without again, from now onthey would never be alone again!! There is so much I want to say but I can't as I am not giving away any spoilers, you need to read this book for yourself!! LeAnn Ashers has definitely done it again, another fantastic book and I can't wait for the next one in this amazing series!! This is definitely a 5 star read and highly recommend both this book and the series itself you will not be disappointed!!
