Evelina has worked hard to get where she is in life. At the young age of twenty-five she became the proud owner of the town’s most infamous café, Wildflowers. Not only does this café make the best cakes in town, but it hosts the most successful open mic nights, bringing singers from far and wide to own the stage and take their dreams to the next level.
Coming from an Italian background, Evelina has a large family, a bubbly personality and the kind of drive that makes her café the best of the best. She prides herself in her witty personality, bubbly demeanor and strength to take her dreams by the horns. She is unstoppable and determined.
That is, of course, until a biker club moves into the empty garage she shares a parking lot with. For years, that garage has been empty and Evelina has had the space entirely to herself. Now, there are cars, motorbikes, parties, half naked women, alcohol and a President that is rude, gorgeous and refusing to keep the noise down.
Her café is going to struggle if she doesn’t do something right away.
The problem is, they are refusing to move.
Evelina is going to have to dig deep and find any way she can to get them to leave…even if things have to get messy.
She’s worked too hard.
This is her lot. This is her town.
That gorgeous biker and his club are going to find themselves in the midst of a war…a turf war.
First of all, this is not an MC romance. It tried to be a chick lit/ rom-com type thing but with a male lead who is part of an MC. I’ll admit this is what drew me to the story. I wanted to read a ridiculous, funny take on the MC trope.
I’m sorely disappointed. — Cheating alert
The biggest no-no was the fact that in my book, the relationship started with cheating. After having sex with the heroine almost day and night, literally, they were going at it like bunnies, she goes to see him at his clubhouse, and he is having sex with someone while she walks in on them.
Then he sort of admits he’s been using her in order to make her more compliant so that she’d stop trying to kick him out of town. If a big, bad, scary biker needs to seduce a woman in order to have her back down from a bet/war they have going on, then in my book he is pathetic and gross. Definitely not the alpha male lead you’d want.
Then, it’s sort of hinted fact that he tried to not take his feelings seriously because he was falling for her and it scared him because of past experience. That is, kind of, the explanation for him messing around with many others while he was also having sex with her. But they never had this conversation when they got back together. She just forgot that he was having sex with other women while they were also being intimate.
I can’t wrap my head around that, especially in a rom-com wanna be.
Also, the heroine was not so strong and sassy when it comes to him. She was overall very witty and funny but when it came to him, she was pathetic. No self respect. I would at least ask him, why he’d do that, not beg him to “stop being afraid and give them a chance”.
Now apart from that fiasco. The story was also over the top and stupid in parts tbh. The stuff about her brothers, the fact that she let his murderous ex wife go, like she’s doing a kind deed by not having a murderous psychopath arrested. So many things didn’t make sense.
Riggs the “hero” wasn’t an alpha MC dude . He was just a wuss and very very very big manwhore. I don’t understand this need to sleep with anything and everything. As if his penis would fall if he took a night off. And I can’t forgive him for messing around on her. Yes, they didn’t define their relationship but he knew he was basically cheating even if they didn’t put a label on it. He knew.
This is not a safe read and it wasn’t funny. I’ll admit there were some giggle worthy moments but I wouldn’t call the overall book a funny, light read. To be honest it was a bit of a mess. I mostly skimmed it after realising that we’re dealing with issues beyond what you’d expect from a rom-com.

Do not believe the 5 star reviews, I’m convinced they have to be ARC etc. Because none of them accurately represents what happened here. I thought with a name that dumb I was definitely getting a rom com. Instead we got the worst parts of every genre it seemed. There were some funny moments, they bordered on slapstick. And don’t get me wrong I enjoy that if I am in the mood to laugh, but I don’t understand how the author thought she could have hijink humor, then finally getting together and then throw in her walking him in on him screwing another woman at almost 60% of the way through the book? This author had set this heroine up to be kind of bada$$, right up until this point. The cover even suggests this. But nope. Does she tell or even say a word? No! She just walks back out and avoids his calls for a couple of days. Then she doesn’t b him out, she goes right back to screwing him without telling him what she saw (she never does tell him that she saw him screwing another woman) yada yada some dumb things happen and suddenly he says how much he cares about her. She still doesn’t bust him out on the cheating, she just says how can he want her when he’s been with “beautiful women”. So like an idiot he says how he wants her and not any other woman, so “that should mean something, right”? And here is why this is a completely idiotic book, are you ready? SHE STILL DOESN’T TELL HIM SHE ACTUALLY SAW HIM WITH HIS P DIRECTLY IN ANOTHER WOMANS V!!! She had already caught him cheating You know, proving the bull crap he just spouted was a lie? No this doormat moron giggles and spouts crap about how much it means to her. What an idiot! It’s not like this guy was just a cliche biker and she was taming him or something. No he has been in love, married and faithful to his wife. He just didn’t think the heroine was worth it. He spout a sentence of crap about how he cares about her more than anyone, but since he had just proven that that he didn’t, his word were flat. Since this is single person point or view and the doormat never confronts him we don’t even get the satisfaction of a grovel out of it. He was aware that she knew something about him being with other women because a hint was dropped it, but he didn’t care enough about the heroine and thus author didn’t care enough about her readers to he live a satisfying conclusion. Or maybe this author only cares to write for the type of women who let men use and abuse them and then just giggle and go brainless because they say one nice thing to them. This particular combination of brainless humor and dumb drama just doesn’t work. I’m really not sure which person the author actually meant to write, I just know I’ll never try her again. Life’s too short to get tricked into spending my money on this type of bs. Returned.
Tell me why I'd pick up this book never having read anything by this author?? Thankfully I came to GR before I actually read it. Apparently H/h have been having sex, maybe not in a defined relationship, but they're intimate..... He's also sharing his intimacy with OW and she actually walks in on him having sex with OW. The fact that they weren't "actually together" is a shit excuse! And he was a really gross manwhore! How is any of this attractive??!!! Thanks to my GR buddy Giorgia I saved my kindle from a smashing with this mess!
If you think you are getting a rom com, think again. I thought with a name that childish I was definitely getting a rom com. Instead we got the worst parts of every genre with hardcore cheating (her walking in on him screwing someone else after they have been together for weeks.) “Life’s too short to get tricked into spending my money on this.”
OMG guys this book was freaking hilarious. And I absolutely loved it. From start to finish in one go.
Evelina, Eve, has her own cafe, Wildflower. She is successfull smart and man is she sassy. During the day she sells Sweets and food. At night its a place for artist to perform. And she worked incredibly hard to make it a success. But then her peace is disturbed when Bikers buy the building next to her Cafe.
Can you just imagine all the drama and noise that will be coming from next door and the parties at the clubhouse at night🙄 And not to mention their first meeting not going that well. Thus starts the war between Evelina and Cash Riggs, the president of the new MC club next door.
Man you have to read this book. It was freaking hilarious. Their tit for tat throughout the book was awesome. The Pranks will have you in stitches. The relationship that started between Riggs and Eve was awesome. They were fighting from the start.
But she also couldn't deny how sexy he was. And even though he didn't want to admit it Riggs was infatuated with Eve. She gave as good as she got. And eventually when their chemistry exploded it was... Hot😍 I loved everything about this book and I am excited to read Ramona and Adan's story 💖 😊
The constant bickering got to be too much, the sabotage of businesses was sickening and definitely crossed lines .. and h seemed desperate while H came across as a smug idiot ..

This was a cute biker romance of enemies to lovers romance. Yeah, I might have been hating on Cash in the beginning but he definitely turned himself around.
LISTEN, this book is all the things and a huge bag of chips! I have never laughed this hard while reading a story. CRYING I tell ya. What an absolute gem Bella Jewel has written. I mean … shenanigans doesn’t even begin to cover the hijinks of it all but it’s a start. The best part was the underlying explosive, delicious, sexy chemistry between Riggs and Eve intertwined in all the fun!
For those readers out there thinking this is an mc romance, I’d have to say to think again. The series itself may evolve from here to be more MC oriented, but this book was not. It’s a rom-com with a side of MC and it is glorious!
"A first is new MC series from Bella Jewel, the queen of biker stories. Evelina and Riggs are complete opposites in every way, yet the can’t stay away from one another.
The turf war started the day Riggs and his brother’s moved into the garage that Evelina owns half of next to her diner. Biker Schmiker is such an entertaining read, you will gets lots of laughs, sexy times and rooting for their HEA. "
I absolutely, hands down recommend this book. It had it all: comedy, lol moments, steam, it was the whole package! The story blew me away as I kept reading. It is action packed and hilarious! This book was entertainment at its finest. Meddling families, neighbors and competition that will have you LOL!
These characters were brutally honest and hilarious. I absolutely loved these characters and could envision the banter between them.
This author amazed me and made me a huge fan of her writing. She knows how to rope you in and make you finish a book in mere hours of starting it. Her words and banter were one of the best I’ve read. I’m not a huge romcom fan, but this book topped what I’ve read. Amazing!
Riggs and eve are probably some of the funniest characters I’ve read. Their constant flirting and banter absolutely had me laughing out loud. Their story has twists, pranks, and too many other things to account. I definitely don’t want to ruin it for you. Please buy this book! It was worth every word of this story! You’re going to love Riggs and Eve!
Normally love Bella Jewel but this felt tired and rushed. The heroine was whiny and weak and then strong and independent. I didn’t understand the hero... I like an overbearing alpha but he took it to alphole level!!
I have never ever read a MC romance like Biker Schmiker by Bella Jewel. I have never laughed so much while reading a MC romance. I have never had such a blast while reading a MC romance. And Bella Jewel did all that keeping the essence of any great MC romance. An alpha biker who pisses me off and turns me on. A sassy heroine whom I need to be my best friend immediately. And their dazzling hot chemistry.
Eve has been living her best life with the successful cafe she owns, her best friends and her loving family. Till a motorcycle club moves in her neighbouring plot and opens a garage. The MC's president Cash Riggs and Eve start a war to see who can bring more disasters in the other person's life. The pranks are getting more and more serious. And the more serious problem is this magnetic all consuming chemistry burning behind their hatred. Who will win?
This story is so over the top hilarious! My stomach was hurting from laughing so much. The devilish plans of Cash and Eve to outsmart each other were pure gems. I had so much fun while reading them! At the same time, by some miracle, the author also put some suspense and whole lot of serious drama in this witty romance. A deadly combination. And the sexual tension! Oh dear, I am just obsessed with this couple! This was the most epic hate to love done in unique style. Eve has a curvy body, overactive mouth, endless fire and so much attitude. This girl is relentless and fierce and she doesn't know how to back down. Even in front of a dangerous, infuriating and edgy biker. Cash Riggs is pantymelting hot material with the super delicious alpha possessiveness. He is just how I love my alphas. A lot of infuriating shenanigans those make me want to hit him. And then all the swoonworthy dirty gestures. They had this tension building up through all the fights and challenges and that finally exploded beautifully. I am still floating in the heaven created by all the intense moments!
I basically devoured Biker Schmiker by Bella Jewel in one setting. This was two hundred percent entertainment extravaganza. I will not forget Eve and Cash's hot and sweet love story.
Yes! Bella Jewel knocked it out of the park. I laughed, I did have some tears... but boy did I love a new refreshing take on the biker genre.
I have to say that I freaking loved Cash Riggs’ name!!! I also loved and laughed a lot over the words that came out of a few characters mouths. Doris... she’s a hoot. Ramona- she has the best lines at the end towards one of the bikers. Hilarious!! And Eve is quite the mouthy, word blurting, funny heroine of the book. Oh! I liked Eve’s mom... for some reason, this family reminded me of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The cafe, the hilarious stuff that goes on in it, and the mom ... along with Doris... just brought up memories of that movie. Which I totally loved, too.
Bella Jewel's books have been awful since the Jokers and Sinners. It's as if two separate people wrote her books.I love biker books and like cheating on them however the h never even says a word and that I couldn't get over. Guess maybe I'll try the Author again month's from now or maybe I won't bother.
I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
Evelina has worked hard to get where she is in life. At the young age of twenty-five she became the proud owner of the town's most infamous café', Wildflowers. Not only does this café' make the best cakes in town, but it hosts the most successful open mic nights, bringing in singers from far and wide to own the stage and take their dreams to the next level.

That gorgeous biker and his club are going to find themselves in the midst of a war...a turf war.
What's a girl to do when a MC suddenly becomes the neighbors to her successful cafe and their partying ways are going to ruin her business. Well of course she starts a turf war. Riggs and his brothers have moved their MC right next to the most successful cafe in town that has one heck of a music night. She wants them out and she wants them out new before they ruin her business completely. However she never expected Riggs to be such a butt and refuse all the while being on of the most handsome men she has ever seen. This book is different from most of the MC books you have read and I really liked that about it. I loved the banter between these two characters. They will keep you entertained and wanting more of them the entire time. I highly recommend that if you love characters that have a love/hate relationship, big bad bikers and a laugh or two that you get this book right away and enjoy the great time that I had reading this book.
Plot Summary : Eve absolutely loves her cafe . She has built it from blood and tears and so much hard work! So when a wanna be biker and his gang try to destroy her career. There is no way she is going to sit by and let them do it.
Riggs is the head of his biker club and the spitfire next door is coming out to be a bigger problem than he expected. She is full of fire and sass and although he hates her, a much bigger part of him wants her too.
Overall Opinion : Bella Jewel is the literal queen of Biker Romance! Full of sassy heroine and cold heroes, her romances just suck me in like nothing else and I can't put them down.
This book was however a bit different. It wasn't a dark romance but more of a contemporary one. I have read all of her books so this one was mild for me. But I still enjoyed the humour and the storyline a lot! A must read for all the contemporary romance lovers out there! If you love biker romance then don't hesitate to pick this one up!
Ahhh. This is the best combination of MC romance meets enemies to lovers meets rom-com ever.
Riggs and Evelina are literally explosive together. The chemistry is crazy but they rub eachother the wrong way every damn time they are around one another. It's like oil and water and yet they cannot help but fan the flames higher. It's dysfunctional and crazy but so hilarious I can't even.
Riggs is a tease. He's strong, overly confident and stubborn to the core. He does things that are questionable and yet I loved him and the alpha vibes he threw off. That macho me man you listen thing really did it for me. I also loved that he defended her when it mattered the most. He's delicious.
Eve is a woman after my own heart. Hard working, quirky and absolutely herself for better or worse. Strong, confident and hilarious but also super sweet. She just had it all. I loved that she stood up for herself and what she believed in. She went toe to toe with a scary bunch of bikers with no fear and she did it without batting and eye. I loved her hard.
AHH I adore their journey. It's hilarious and extremely unconventional but it set a pace I enjoyed with a tonne of humour and real spicy tension that had me on edge. It wasn't all laughs and jokes.. I enjoyed the unique twists and turns Bella took with the story and I feel like it had the perfect balance of light and dark. As a whole it's just consumed me and I didn't come up for air until I finished. It's the kind of story I didn't want to end. The side characters are also such a great part of this story... Eve's best friend is crazy and perfect with so much personality I cannot wait for her story!!. Her brothers are another question mark I am so curious about and of course there is the brothers from the club... The potential for this series is so great I cannot wait to see what comes next and where it goes.
As a whole I was completely captivated by Riggs and Eve and their journey to HEA. I laughed, swooned, ranted and raved and just didn't want it to end. Bring on the next one!!!.
This is billed as an MC book but those that like hard core 1% books will realize this is not that at all. What is does bring is a romantic comedy with lots of banter and hilarious hijinks.
Eve's business has been doing just fine until the new neighbors move in to their shared parking lot. Cash Briggs is president of his MC and just looking for a safe place to land with his brothers. They start on the wrong foot immediately although the tension between the two of them is palpable.
What follows is a whole lot of meddling interference by just about every secondary characters. Lots of loud shade thrown by Eve and her friend. And finally, some hot bikers that do not take her seriously enough.
This is a quick easy read with lots of over the top antics. Lots of assumptions made about different life styles. It will be interesting to see where the author goes from here.
*Complimentary copy [provided for an honest review.
I am here to tell you that I had no idea that I needed a sexy rom com about bikers in my life, but now that I finished reading it, I cannot wait for more! It was the perfect Friday night read.
This books had hilarious moments in it - You will laugh until your stomach hurts - and yet gives you all the little butterflies you need when reading a romance.
The characters seem to love a flair for the dramatics and it made me love them even more. Evelina is the girl best friend you want behind you when you go to war!
I couldn’t put down this one- from start to finish, it was a heartfelt, sexy and enjoyable. If you want a good laugh and a great book, then you will want to pick this one up- I’ll guarantee you will love it!
Biker Schmiker was totally of the charts funny, feisty and sexy.
I adored Eve she's sassy, smart and very stubborn she adores cafe/bar that she owns that is until the President of a motorcycle club set up business next door and Riggs isn't one too be messed with despite how hot he looks. Eve makes it her mission to let inform him she wants the club gone and her life back to normal she just doesn't realise shes waged a war with the wrong person.
Bella Jewel wrote an amazing book full of pranks and mishaps, I love that she made Eve embrace her curves and put danger in their paths when u least expect it. A great all-round book.
This was a really funny story. The banter between Evelina and Riggs kept me smiling and I adored that Evelina really thought she could start a war with a MC club and win. This book was just adorable on so many levels
A first is new MC series from Bella Jewel, the queen of biker stories. Evelina and Riggs are complete opposites in every way, yet the can’t stay away from one another.
The turf war started the day Riggs and his brother’s moved into the garage that Evelina owns half of next to her diner. Biker Schmiker is such an entertaining read, you will gets lots of laughs, sexy times and rooting for their HEA.
Holy my stomach still hurts from how much i laughed while reading this book. Riggs and Evalina are so completely opposite, but together they have some serious sparks. The turf war they have going on, is absolutely the funniest thing I've read. The big bad biker and the cafe owner, will have you glued to the pages, wanting to turn them faster than you can read.
This is a first time author for me and the I’ve gotta say I absolutely loved this book. I laughed , I teared up a tiny bit, I sat in the edge of my seat and I could not put it down. Read it start to finish and I cannot wait for the next one. I bet that couple will be just as explosive and sassy as this one!
Bella Jewel is one of my queens of MC perfection. Just last week I really wanted to go on an MC binge-reading but wasn't sure what to pick up, so her new release seemed like destiny.
Reading the blurb I knew this would be a little different. I didn't mind this being a lighter read, it was so much fun, Eve and Ramona cracked me the hell up. A crazy duo those two.
So Eve owns a café, is tight with most of her family, has a crazy, loyal best friend, so life is great in general. Things turn a little downhill when a MC buys the other building in the parking lot, sets up shop there. They are loud, not good for business or her mental health. They are all insanely hot but that's not the point, or is it? She declares war to their prez, Riggs and it's so on, that's where the fun really begins. The pranks they pull are hilarious and neither one of them wants to step down.
I enjoyed the hell out of this book, loved the chemistry and the crazy antics. It's one of those rare occasions when I like the heroine more than the hero. Eve's a gem.
There were also some things that bothered me too much, if you're wondering why only three stars then. Spoiler alert! It was hard to get into it when the MC was basically described as a parody at the beginning. Also, I didn't like Riggs with OW at all, especially after he's slept with Eve, that was a hard limit for me. But what bothered me the most is that it was never explained why did he do it in the first place. He said he was only using her at the beginning, yet he sleeps with someone else weeks into their relationship. Not cool, bro.
No, just no. I thought this was going to be a funny twist on a MC romance. First of all, Evelina isn't funny, she's rude. I can't imagine the first time you meet someone (who's trying to help on top of it) and talk to him the way Evelina talks to Cash is just ridiculous. Now Cash has no redeeming qualities either. Cheating is a HARD no for me, and there's no warning in the blurb for this one. And Evelina takes him back with no mention to catching him in the act with another woman. Uh, no. Then there were her family, her friend, the psycho ex wife. Just way too much stuff and none of it helped the story. This was a first for me from this author, but I might give her another read. This one definitely wasn't for me. I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy of this book.
Wow, this book was hot.. hot ... hot 🔥 I really enjoyed this storyline and Riggs and Eve were a lot of crazy in general and for each other. I would Definitely read this book again. I'm super excited for Romana and Adan tho!
Loved this book! Talk about a true enemies to lovers lol. They were MEAN to each other 😂😂😂. Well written with a cute storyline. Snark level: expert. Definitely not a book for everyone is you are sensitive to the hero having smexy with someone else after he's had smexy with the heroine (but before they're in a relationship). Don't know if ill continue with the series if the next book has more of the same, but definitely willing to read the next book!
Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trope: enemies to lovers Angst: 😱😱 Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥 Triggers: none, except for OW smexy
