Men of Valor MC

Filthy Ride

Rate this book
He’s filthy.
He has no right to touch someone so innocent and pure.


But, he's going to anyway.

Rock Adams is a nomad. He loves hitting the road and going wherever it leads.
Lately, however, that’s been less satisfying.
Since leaving the military, he’s wanted to find a place where he could truly belong.
That hasn’t happened and he’s about given up hope.

He is visiting the Valor MC, working in their garage, until he figures out what he wants next.

Meeting Neena Wallace throws him for a loop.
The beautiful woman with sparkling blue eyes knocks the breath out of him.
She’s perfect, but her innocence shines like a damn halo around her.

Rock has blood on his hands.
His world is a cold, lonely place and Nee doesn’t belong.

Still, she’s all alone. There’s no one to help her.
To protect her.

Rock steps up to fill that void and now that he’s had a taste of sweet, curvy Nee Wallace…
He’s keeping her.

Née is working for a veterinarian as an assistant. In walks a sexy biker carrying a kitten into the vet office. When Rock sees Née he is smitten but she doesn't trust or like bikers. Will he change her mind?

Well written, steamy and sweet love story. I loved Rock and Nee. He is alpha and she is shy and innocent. He never wanted marriage or kids until he met her. With her he finally feels a sense of belonging and it's heartwarming.

Safety: virgin heroine, hero not a virgin, no cheating, no other man or other woman drama. I loved the two future epilogues with their 3 kids! ❤

I hope you are ready for sweet dirty ride with Rock and Nee.
Rock Adams is just passing through Valor but something and someone has now caught his attention.
Nee Wallace is a sweet, caring, innocent young woman. She is wearing herself thin working and going to class. She has never needed anyone to take care of her and she won't start now. So, when a mystery man shows up at the animal clinic with a furry little kitten, she wants to know all about this guy and maybe so much more. Rock has never been so taken with a woman in all his years but now this big, burly biker wants to make sure she has everything that she needs? This is opposites attract at its finest. Loved watching this big stoic man be brought to his knees by this lovely woman.

This one was okay for me I did wish the "step father " was alive to have that drama and beat him up lol.

Rock is a nomad never having roots always on the go, he has a soft spot so that's why he saved a almost dead kitten and that where he met his kitten Nee a vet assistant who is shy and weary of him do to her past. There is alot of flirtness from Rock and running away from Nee.. until he seen how she takes care of herself and it wasn't good. So he's making it his job he found his ol lady.

Now he just needs to show Nee not all bikers are like her dead stepfather.

No ow/om drama,no cheating, slight secondary character, Sexy times, virgin gal sorta playboy (but wasn't shown(

I loved this installment of the Men of Valor MC. Rock and Née start off on the wrong foot but it quickly moves onto something more. I love that even though Rock didn’t want anything good permanent, he found exactly that with her and I love his patience. The story is fun, sexy, and just what I needed. I also appreciate that this didn’t have any danger involved and it was more about the relationship.

FUEGGGOOOO!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wowwwzzz!!! This one was a super steamy read that nearly melted my kindle while also being full of swoon! Loved the shyness, the innocence and sweetness of the heroine, her light taming his dark... and when the hero experienced tenderness for a woman for the first time!!....it had me happy sighing into a swoony puddle of pure bliss!

Hero’s past isn’t mentioned too much, but it kinda comes off as if he’s a reformed manwhore once he see the heroine. Heroine is a virgin. No ow/om drama. No abuse or cheating. HEA with epilogue

This is L. Nicole's best book to date! Phenomenal chemistry between Rock and Nee, off the charts in terms of sweetness and heat. Nee's past experience with an MC makes her incredibly leery of Rock when he comes into the vet office with a poor, little kitten abandoned on the side of the road. Rock can't help but be completely enamored with Nee, she changes his whole life in an instant. But her shyness and fear of men, especially men in MCs compels him to take it slow. He is so focused on what she needs, I couldn't help but fall in love with him myself. She puts her faith and trust in his hands and he cherishes it. Such a perfect romance from start to finish, I wish there were more stars than five in rating systems. Ten stars from this very happy reader!

A good hea

I didn't really like Rock in the beginning, but he did save a kitten, Soo i thought maybe... by the 5th chapter I really really did not like Rock! Every time he opened his mouth he kept throwing out lines on her like he was talking to some worthless club whore... but it seems like that's the type he's always messed with so maybe he didn't have a clue? However, he does take a step back and dials it down. Realizes he wants more than to just get her into bed. Then I really started to like Rock! Yes, he's still a bit rough around the edges, but that's part of who he is and he always treats Nee well, and tries to do anything he can to take care of her. He shows patience and understanding. He gets almost noble in his thoughts and actions. Nee really comes out of her shell and their love makes them both stronger. This ended up being a good story with a sweet hea❤ I'm glad I finished it and would recommend.

Loved this one......

Filthy Ride by L. Nicole is the eighth book in the multi-author Men of Valor MC series. This story is about Ray "Rock" Adams and Neena "Nee" Wallace.
Rock is a member of the Men of Valor MC but is a Nomad, meaning he is not declared to any one chapter of the MC. Instead he likes to cross the country and not be tied down. One morning he is riding into his hometown of Valor, Wyoming when he sees something fluffy on the side of the road. When he stops he discovers a barely alive kitten which someone had thrown away to die. Well Rock cannot stand this as you just don't hurt animals in his code. So he picks up the kitten and finds the local vet's office in Valor. Opening the door is an angel of a young woman who takes his breath away and strikes him dumbfounded.
Nee is twenty-three years old and was born and raised in Valor. She did not have a happy childhood as when her mother died her stepfather raised her and he liked to beat on her something fierce. So Nee learned to make herself small and quiet in order to stay out of his way, along with the school bullies. Now Nee is studying to be a Veterinary Assistant and is working full-time at the local vet's office for Dr. Chet. When she opens the clinic door and finds a big, handsome and very sexy man there she is thinking some things that may not be quite appropriate. Then her heart melts a bit when it turns out he has brought in an abandoned kitten. But once she realizes he is a member of the Men of Valor MC her attitude changes, as her stepfather had been a member of a rival MC and she detests all MC members.

This story had me hooked. Rock is arrogant, sexy, hard but also sweet, soft and caring. Nee is a young woman who is determined to make a good life for herself and ends up falling for a man that on the outside is exactly who she always swore off of but inside he is exactly who she needs and ends up wanting in her life. This story does not have any real drama but it does have a sweet romance with a few bumps along the way. I loved this story so much that I actually bought a copy to add to my personal library.

Ray but everyone calls him Rock - Owns a Motorcycle, Is part of the Valor MC Club and works at the Garage, He cares about Animals and does like like to see them hurt, He is funny, sassy, kind and caring, He looks out for his friends, Falls For Nee

Nee - She works as a Veterinarian Assistant but wants to be a vet, She likes looking after Animals, She is sweet and Shy. She has a sad past, She likes helping people, Falls for Rock

The part in this book about the cat Rock found was so sad and i liked how he took care of the cat with so much care and got the cat to the vet.. I am glad that everything worked out for the cute wee Cat and that it found a good home..

This book is packed full of:

3.5/5 stars
Rock is Nomad who is with the Valor MC, on his ride into Valor he sees a kitten on the side of the road, the poor kitten is in bad shape, he takes it to the local vet for treatment. There he sees Nee the vet tech and is immediately attracted to her. She is attracted to him too but with her past (her stepfather was a MC member of a bad group who physically abused her when she was younger) she is very wary of him. The doctor treats the kitten and she tells him she will call him with an update. Nee works real hard at the job and is going to school, being so busy she forgets to eat and doesn’t take as good care of herself. Seeing this Rock gets groceries and enters her house through and unlocked door and makes her breakfast. She’s touched by his kindness but confused too. They get to know one another better and she can see he is genuine with her and has real feelings. The kitten survives and his doing so well they become its parents and Nee names it Valor. When her car breaks down another MC member sees her and stops to help, she tells him about Rock hoping to deter him if he means to hurt her. But he calls Rock and he comes to get her and claims her as his in front of his friend. Later he claims her as his in front of the club telling her he wants everything with her. Their sexy times are hot and sweet. Cute epilogue on her graduation day, she has a daughter and is pregnant again, it was nice to see the MC and Rocks work friends at the graduation supporting her.
What I didn’t like was how he compared and bought up his past conquests. He was not a date them kind of guy he is a hit and quit it kind of guy. But now that he has seen this beautiful virgin he is all of a sudden so enamored with her he can only see her and is ok giving up all others for her. His brand of flirting is somewhat crass and is shocking to Nee. I did like how sweet he was, it was new to him but he didn’t fight it, he went with his gut and did nice caring things for her. I would like to see a more experienced heroine, it gets real tiring reading constantly about manwhores and virgins. Especially when no condoms are used and the heroine never asks if he is clean. I was glad to see Nee ask him if staying in one place was going to be enough for him. She was also thinking if she would be enough for him.

Very sweet for an MC book

Nothing harsh about this MC that's for sure. Rock a Nomad is visiting a charter of the Valor MC. On his way into town he spots a kitten left for dead. He brings him to the local Veterinarian office and meets Nee. She is very shy and timid, oh and lets not forget virgin. "Insert eye roll".

Rock is smitten for the Vet tech right from the start. They get to know each other and have a HEA.

If you are expecting an actually MC book really set in the MC world, this book is not it.

Thank you soo much for sending us a copy of this book before release day, we really appreciate it.

So on seeing this book we were instantly excited to read it. The cover looks incredible and draws you into the book itself. So truthfully we were expecting a gritty, rough M.C ride but we didn't get that so if you want a rough and ready M.C this book probably isn't for you. However, this is a really beautiful story that tells you of the struggles of a young woman called Nee who suffered a hard upbringing at the hands of her biker stepfather.

Rock is a nomad M.C who stays away from setting down roots that is until he meets Nee whilst saving a stray kitten and it into the vets. Their connection is undeniable and instant and Rock instantly wants to take care of Nee and give her the world.

I really enjoyed reading this book it left me feeling warm and fuzzy and I couldn't help but smile throughout at the heartwarming words spoken between Nee and Rock.

Rock is coming back to Valor when he finds a small hurt kitten. When he gets back into town he looks up the local vet to take the kitten to and meets Nee a vet tech that catches his attention. Nee is afraid of Rock because of previous experience with bikers. When he learns what she went through he sets about showing her that he isn't like that. Once she gets to know Rock Nee starts letting her guard down and letting him into her life. Soon she was accepting other from the mc in as friends. Will she be willing to move on from her past to have a future with him? Will Rock stay in Valor?

This is a great story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Almost a months worth books to for an unforgettable series. Twenty-four of our favorite short and steamy authors came together to bring us a new motorcycle romance for each day!

The Men of Valor are more than ex-military bikers – they know what it means to go the distance for love. Hop on the back of a bike and hold on tight to your new book boyfriend – it’s gonna be one hell of a ride!

This ride m brings home a nomad that find an abandoned kitten on the side of the road. But this nomad finds more than a kitten, allowing him to put down roots for the first time.
However, if you want more deets that make this story a whole. Your just going to have give it a read. I promise you will not be disappointed. In addition this is a 24 book series.

Filthy Ride by L. Nichole is one my first ventures into the MC genre one of the first books by L Nichole that I have read. I am happy to say that I enjoyed both. The characters were well developed given that this was such a quick read. The story was also well told and not at a rushed pace given its length.

I enjoyed reading that like the heroine in the story Nee (Neena), I had preconceptions of what a MC was, and I was wrong. Nee resisted Rock as much as she could, but having a soft spot for animals, and seeing how this Biker stopped and picked up a poor helpless kitten off the side of the road, brought it to the vet clinic where she worked, and then continually called to check on it (and her). She finally broke and gave him a chance.

Rock had been Nomad Biker for years after his time in the service. He liked being on the road but he felt like something was missing in his life.....until he saw Nee for the first time when he brought a poor lost kitten in for treatment. Rock immediately knew she was what was missing from his life and would do whatever it took to have her.

Their short and sweet romance was a fun, enjoyable, quick read that would recommend to any romance lover with a few spare hours some afternoon. I am now looking forward to reading more in the MC genre as well as more of Ms. Nichole's works in the future.

Rock has not found a place that has felt like home, as part of the Valor MC he is a nomad. As he arrives back in town, he notices something on the side of the road, a kitten. With a soft heart for those that can't take care of themselves, Adam takes the kitten to the local vet. Nee is working as a Vet Assistant while she gets her degree. When she sees who is banging at the door she is taken back, as she has not had the best experience with men in a MC.

This is a sweet romance, that not only warm your heart but will have you busting into flames. Rock's passion for Nee is heartwarming as he takes his time not only to understand her and her fears, but also takes the time to make her fall in love with him. It is a great addition to an amazing multi author series that is worth you time getting lost in.

Rock is a nomad biker... on his way through town... when, thanks to an abandoned kitten, he meets the beautiful vet´s assistant who shatters his world. His immediate feelings for her are much too shocking, even for him... and, even though she is clearly innocent, he can´t help but tell her exactly what he`s thinking and feeling (no matter how dirty it might be). Nee is is sweet and innocent, but has lived a rough life. She`s wary of bikers, so she can`t help but feel thrown off by Rock`s insistent and blunt nature. She`s incredibly sweet and shy, demure and even mousy... which is the total opposite of the biker bad boy. I loved that he encourages her to be bolder and stronger... he gives her strength and security to speak up and be herself. She brings him the pure innocence that he thought he wasn`t worthy of. I can´t express how much I truly enjoyed reading their story.. wuch a great story with incredible characters!!!! I loved it!

L. Nicole joins the fabulous multi-author Men of Valor MC series with Filthy Ride. Nomadic ex-Navy SEAL Rock Adams is once again passing through Valor when he happens upon an abandoned kitten on the side of the road. When he finds a nearby vet's office to take it to, he meets young, innocent and reserve Neena. Nee has a troubled past with a connection to the biker club the Men of Valor kicked out of town, and she is very nervous around Rock. Recognizing her fear but also wanting to claim her as he has never wanted with any other woman, Rock puts aside his gruff, rough ways to win Nee's trust - and heart. Complete opposites, these two have intense chemistry, and Rock is swoon-worthy when it comes to protecting and wooing Nee. Another excellent read in this awesome series!

This was a great book and I really loved these two characters. Nee has learned to trust where she never expected to, and Rock never planned on ever settling down but with the right woman anything is possible.
Rock is a wanderer and doesnt like to stay in one place for long, he decides he is due for a little break/get away and heads back to the town of Valor. He is a member of the mc club but not a full time member.
Just before he enters the town limits he spots an abandoned kitty on the side of the road and brings it to the closest vet. Rocks first look at Nee he feels attracted to her, which is crazy cause she is to innocent for him but he cant keep his eyes off her.
Nee is very timid and leary of Bikers, it is because she had a bad upbringing with her stepfather. She tries her hardest to advoid and not think of Rock nut it is hard, he is different then she expected.

Rock Adams has always loved not being tied down. When he pulls into Valor, that feeling changes. All it takes is a helpless abandoned kitten and a cute but shy vet and Rock’s world turns upside down.

Neena Wallace is just working toward her goal of being a veterinary assistant. She has all she can handle at this point between her internship and school. She definitely does not need the trouble that comes with a biker. Or does she?

This cute, short story is a great addition to the Valor MC series. It gives you the opportunity to check in with some other members (you will have to read to see who 😉) and the story between Rock and Nee is light-hearted and easy to read. I would definitely recommend this story!

Great Read! Great Series!

Like all of the men of the Valor MC, Rock does not disappoint. One moment he’s a nomad and the next, due to one tiny kitten and Rock’s big heart, he’s met the woman of his dreams and is ready to put down roots. Née is the opposite of Rock in every way and he quickly realizes he must take things slow with her.

Nee has a good reason for being distrustful of bikers. But Rock bulldozes his way into her life and before she knows it, Rock is taking care of her. But Rock is growing a bit frustrated with the slow mode of their relationship and something’s got to give or else... (BB’s anyone?)

I loved both main characters. I adore stories with a tough alpha hero and a shy, sweet heroine. The kitten was good for some laughs too. I highly recommend.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Rock is a nomad biker who is visiting at Valor MC. His future is up in the air for now. He is a hard man with a heart of gold. It is going to lead him to a woman who he will gladly hand it over to. Nee works at the veterinary clinic and when he brings the kitten in, he cements a place in her heart. There is some internal struggle about being good enough, but other than that they are perfect for each other. This was another great addition to the Men of Valor MC series.

This was a fantastic story. Rock is dropping into Valor for a visit when he see a small kitten someone tossed out. He takes it into town and finds the vet. He finds something more than just a vet. He finds what's been missing in his life. Nee is the vet assistant and when she see the big biker she scared. She's very shy and Rock makes her nervous. I love how he eases her fears and shows her that he there forever. The relationship they have is so sweet and steamy. Rock is the glue that Nee craves forever. I can't wait to read another story about the Men of Valor MC's. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Sometimes a quick steamy read is just what you need. I really enjoy being able to finish books in one sitting every once in a while. L. Nicole is quickly becoming my go-to author for steamy novellas. I've yet to be disappointed. Some novellas can leave you feeling cheated of a full story, but not with this author. I always feel like I've gotten a full story, a fast paced one, but complete none the less.

Filthy Ride is part of the Men of Valor MC series, which is a set of 24 novellas written by 24 different authors. Each book can be read as a stand alone. This was the first of the series that I have read and I did not feel lost or confused at all, so go ahead and dive in at any point. I do want to see what else the series has to offer so I will likely be going back and reading more from this series over the next few weeks.

Hot, steamy, fast paced and romantic is the ride you'll get with Nee and Rock. Enjoy!

Filthy Ride, by L. Nicole is book in the new Men of Valor MC series and it was simply amazing. I was hooked at page one when Rock finds an abandoned kitten on the side of the road. He has no idea how his world is about to be turned upside down. Nee is working as a veterinarian's assistant when a rough and sexy biker comes in with a kitten. Nee doesn't date and especially not dangerous bikers but there is no denying the intense connection between her and Rock. Will Rock be able to convince Nee that she belongs with him on the back of his bike as his old lady? Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

Val.
Awesome story. Rock is a man with no roots and doesn’t want to put down any. He likes wondering around the country, nothing to worry about but cash and his bike. Née is a shy woman that works at the veterinary clinic. It’s there that Rock and Nee meet. Née needs someone to take care of her so that she can go to school and work without giving in to total exhaustion. Rock decides he’s going to be the man who does it for her. Just one problem: Née has an aversion to bikers. Can Rock find a way to convince her that all bikers are not the same? Take a ride through Valor and find out.
