Finally!
Murder and Alexa are finally getting their HEA after 20 years. Of course you have some problems with a prospect betrayal but it's who he is, they keep popping up, lol.
Let's not forget other club drama between Link and Pam. Holy is crazy!
Note to Glenna I need another prospect book from you and Dawn. It a good cheating biker book with lot's of drama and other women problems that only you can give me.

A good short book. More like a novela...Alexa and James the president finally get married. This is about the wedding and him trying to talk her into having another child. Seems to be setting up for another book to look forward to.

Omg!!!! I fell in love with Alexa from Lady and the Biker! I fell in love with Murder at the end of that same book! Iam so happy they got their happily ever after!!! Even though Iam sad I know these books I’ll forever read over and over. These characters stole my heart, and sleep for a long time. They still steal my sleep and haunt me but all in good ways! Glenna does it again!!! Another great read!!! I have yet to read something I didn’t like by her!!! If I could give this book and all her books a million stars I would! I wasn’t prepared for how much this series would become a part of my soul, but it really did. If you haven’t read them you need to!

Finally Getting Their Well Deserved HEA!!!
I have loved Alexa and Murder’s story and now after everything they have been through they are going to get their happily ever after. Not many authors can do what Ms. Maynard does in a short novella because she pulls you in quickly and brings all the feels that usually come with a full novel. Of course with this also comes some pretty big surprises and kept me on the edge of my seat as well. Loved, loved this story and can’t wait to see what’s next!!

The finale they and the readers have waited 20 years for is here. Nothing has been easy for Murder and Alexa in their journey to a HEA. Through all the heartbreaks fights and betrayals one thing has been constant and that is the love they have. The story still has some twists and MC drama to give us, really it wouldn't be a Glenna book without some surprises. I can't wait to see what is next from one of my favourite MC authors.

OMG the chemistry between Alexa and Murder is steamy HOT!! Love all the other characters in this series and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

3 ⭐⭐⭐ - OK decent reads.
=========================
=========================
Link slumped down in a chair with his fist buried in some skank’s hair as her head bobs from between his legs.
“If you say so.” She flicks her wrist and dumps the water on the head of the whore giving Link a blowjob.
The whore screeches and jerks up at the same time Link pulls away. “You bit my dick.”
Danika struts toward me wearing nothing but a smile and a thong. “Can I get a hit off that?” Big hair and even bigger tits. She’s a beauty. She’s also not my Old Lady.
I blink a few times and give my head a shake. Her lips touch mine and I freeze. Danika is staring at me with her tits pressed up against my leather cut one hand on my neck. I’d like to say I’m a better man. That this is where I push her way. But that’d make me a liar.

How many times do I need to write FINALLY to fulfill the Amazon word count requirement for a review? FINALLY!
After all these years Alexa finally gets her man. I love this series.

My Rating: 4 stars!
Ugh. Anyone else who has had their heart crushed from reading Alexa and Murder’s story up to this point will be in agreement that this book was one big, happy sigh! What started out as a long, tedious, hell of a journey of a secret love and roads not taken finally receives a well-deserved HEA!
This is a novella, and whilst I would’ve loved a longer story, it still gave me so much feels! An adorable and lighthearted (for the most part, anyways) conclusion to what was initially a rollercoaster ride of a relationship between Murder and Lex! After reading it, I can honestly say that I am relieved that the angsty drama in their lives is officially done and dusted, and now they have the rest of their lives to look forward to. Nothing but good times ahead!
Trust me when I say once you reach Keeping The Biker, you will be giddy with happiness at seeing Alexa and Murder truly be together. It’ll be like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders at seeing all the road bumps and deterrents gradually cease to exist. I tell ya, it’s bloody satisfying to read! 🙌
What I also enjoyed seeing was the other characters in this series and seeing snippets of their lives. It has me eager to read what’s installed for them in future books… (looking at you Link and Pam)!
Short but sweet, and packs a punch! Dual points of view and well-paced storytelling. You’ll see just how much their relationship has developed and how much they’ve both grown and matured over the years. All her life Alexa has been put through the ringer, yet seeing her still standing strong as ever is one of the reasons why I find her such a fierce heroine. Murder, despite some of his actions throughout their journey has my unwavering support for the guy. These characters are so authentic in their emotions through their hardships that it’s hard not to like them. If anything, it makes you root for them even more.
You find with MC romances, you usually get the “Old Lady” and “Old Man” titles amongst the couples, but it’s refreshing to see a story where an MC member (and in this case a President, for that matter) to be the one pushing for a marriage with their partner. The amount of love Murder has for Alexa is evident within this story that it will legitimately make you swoon.
A good balance of romance and MC elements. Little bit of suspense with some moments I did not see coming. Always entertaining to see the dynamics between the brothers, but it’s also cool to see the family ties and friendships formed — especially amongst the women.
I am lusting over this RBMC series of Maynard’s! The more books she adds into the series, the more you get sucked into their ever-expanding world. It’s amazing. I would abso-fucking-lutely recommend this to fellow dark/ MC romance readers. Just make sure you read from the beginning and not skip any to ensure you get the entire story!

Murder and Alexa have been on one heck of a 20-year bumpy ride, but it's all led to this...and the author could not have given us a better conclusion (well, it might be unfair to call it a conclusion, but you get what I'm saying). This installment of the RBMC Charleston chapter saga is a peek inside the wedding that we've all been waiting for. Not only do we get to see our fave bad boys (I love me some East), but we also get awesome cameos. The author does a great job in bringing in some favorite bikers from other authors participating n the RBMC series. As always, we get some fantastic sexy moments (so much I wanna say about this but gotta keep the review PG), some bossy alpha moments, and some very loving and emotional declarations between our favorite age gap couple. Glenna knows how to bring the heat and the passion, but also the emotions. Be prepared because if you've loved these characters as long as I have, you'll need at least one tissue. 5 Stars but wish I could give more!

The event of a lifetime we have all been waiting for 💒
I feel like a have been waiting for this books release forever...and it's finally here 🎉🎊. Finally Murder & Alexa get thier happily ever after. I loved seeing the characters from the other Royal Bastards chapters. One thing I was a little heartbroken over was a situation that happened between Pam & Link. I have loved them since the first book so I'm a little sad that they are going thru a rough patch but am super excited to see what magic Glenna works in thier book coming up next month. Also can't wait for Holy & Hazels book...and I sure hope Liky & Slick get thier own book. I was kind of hoping that there would be a scene with Papa & Murder together since they were such good friends and Papa is another one of my favorites. Overall I LOVED this book...and everything Glenna writes. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

I am so excited that the author gave us the rest of Alexa and Murder’s story. If you read Tempting the Biker you know the hell these two have been through to be together. (If you haven’t read it, I strongly suggest you read it before you read Keeping the Biker).
Murder has ask Alexa to be his. She’s dreamed of nothing else for the past 20’years. But even now just saying yes doesn’t come easy. These two aren’t through fighting the uphill battles on both a personal and club level.
Awesome read that I couldn’t put down, it is just that engrossing. I highly recommend this book / Series. They are great read and I can’t wait to see what happens next with Murder and the Charleston, WV RBMC chapter.
2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars!!!!

Keeping The Biker was a great story, it was a strong addition to Alexa and James/Murder's story.
Glenna Maynard did a great job on the book, the plot was strong, it was packed with many emotions. Nothing about James and Alexa's journey has been easy, it's been an emotional rollercoaster for many many many years, they have been so much. They deserved some happiness for once. Alexa and James were made for each other, they were both fighters. It didn't matter how much time had passed the connection and chemistry they had was strong, they were meant for each other, they were good together.
This was a great story, I enjoyed it.
Thank you, Glenna Maynard. Great work :)

Finally the day we've all been waiting for....
After 20 years of ups, downs, twists and turns Murder and Lex finally get to become husband and wife and I for one couldn't be happier. I love how Murder turns soft when he's alone with Lex and talk about steamy holy smokes they are hot together in the sack. I loved how she revealed to him why his life would change again in a few short months and I'm happy she gets to experience this with others as well.
I can't wait to read Link and Pam's story I pray they made it through his screw up.

This one I fell into quickly and those pages started turning because of Alexa and Murder. They unfold before our eyes the ending of the beginning. They have had their go arounds and we did not think this time would come at times. This one also is perfect read for getting into a MC at this time. I think they say it is in the air sometimes with it being in these pages. It would not be a MC without something not happening on the sidelines. Sometimes you need one of these reads and this author delivered.
February 28, 2021
We finally made it to the finish line! Or did we? After 20 years of hell and other things in between, Murder and Alexa will finally be together. Oh wait! There's drama because this is an MC book and other people are involved. I loved this story! Now I find myself fretting over Pam and Link. Darn you, Glenna! I need to read what happens to them! I can't wait! Do yourself a favor and read this entire series. It just wouldn't be right to start on the 4th book. You need to know everyone and the series is fantastic!

Alexa & Murder have waited 20 years to finally have their hea. But nothing could or would stop them getting married.They have been through so much but someone still wants to cause them pain .This is a great book full of passion n drama.Would recommend reading the first three then this one.great valentine's addition.

I loved reading this book.
The story was well written and grabbed
me from page one for an afternoon.
Keeping the Biker is the 4th in the Royal Bastards MC
Charleston, WV Chapter.
Murder and Alexa are finally getting married after
2 decades.
Full of action and suspense are in the mix.
There are members of the other RBMC's that are
at the wedding.
I would recommend this book to others.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book from
an advanced reader copy.

Absolutely loved this book. Alexa and Murder are finally tying the knot. Of course there's some issues that comes up but it don't stop what their end game is. It's a fast paced, page turner that captures your attention from the start. There's even a few surprises dropped. It's a must read in this series.
February 13, 2021
The long ride
Murder and Alexa have been through it all. A love affair that never should have happened. Their love for each other has stood the test of time. To see them get their happy ever after brings a tear to the eye. What a great read.
