Rumble
A bad boy biker turned good…
Lazarus “Laz” Lowenstein, owner of Dream Machines Custom Shop, isn’t the long-haired, hard-ass biker he’d been in his youth, but he has good reason to keep his past to himself. When he’s asked to help with a story on the Rebel Run motorcycle rally, he finds himself perilously close to the life he left behind—and to fledgling reporter, Nora Carlton.
More than just a good girl…
Single mom Nora Carlton is determined to make a name for herself in her first ‘real’ job as an online journalist. Documenting her own transformation from ‘mousy mom’ to ‘sexy biker chick’ is the perfect opportunity, even if she’s never been on a motorcycle in her life. In spite of his tattoos and piercings—and the secrets she suspects he’s keeping—Laz makes her feel safe.
Dangerous desires…
They may be pretending to be a couple for the rally, but fake kisses turn into real desires. A bad boy like Laz has no business thinking about a future with a good girl like Nora. Helping her research a story is one thing; exploring his desire for her is a definite no-no. When the violence in Laz’s past spills into the present, can Nora restore his faith in people… and love?

About the author
Tracey Cramer-Kelly
50 books343 followersTracey Kelly writes emotionally rich, true-to-life romance where love leads to healing, purpose, and second chances.
With over 25 contemporary and inspirational novels to her name, she’s known for creating flawed but relatable characters who face real-world struggles—often with a dose of medical drama (a nod to her background as an Army combat medic and civilian EMT) or a biker twist, drawn from two decades managing her family’s motorcycle business (and riding since she was 16!).
She works in marketing and lives in small-town Minnesota on a three-acre patch of paradise with her incredibly understanding hubby, a bossy cat, and the occasional visit from her two grown children—who’ve long since come to terms with having a motorcycle-riding, romance-writing mom.
When she’s not writing, you’ll find her on her motorcycle, at the lake with family, skiing down a slope, or cheering on a soccer match. And if the day ends with a good book, all the better.

Rumble by Tracey Kelly is a gripping and heartfelt addition to the Road to Romance series, delivering a powerful story about redemption, resilience, and unexpected love. This fourth installment centers on Lazarus “Laz” Lowenstein, a former rebel who has reinvented himself as the respected owner of Dream Machines Custom Motorcycles. Tracey Kelly skillfully draws readers into Laz’s world, blending the gritty atmosphere of biker culture with sincere emotional depth and character growth.
The novel shines with the introduction of Nora Carlton, an inexperienced reporter and single mom who’s determined to prove herself. Nora’s journey into the biker scene is handled with authenticity and warmth, and her interactions with Laz are both touching and believable. While Nora expects to find a stereotypical tough guy, she uncovers a man who is honorable, protective, and haunted by a past he can’t escape. The chemistry between these two characters is palpable, and their relationship evolves naturally as they confront personal challenges and shared threats.
One of the standout aspects of the book is the way Kelly explores themes of trust and second chances. As Laz helps Nora navigate the biker world for her story, he’s forced to face his own demons and reevaluate his guarded heart. Nora, meanwhile, finds inner strength she never knew she had, making her more than just a damsel in distress. The plot is paced perfectly, with suspenseful twists—from resurfacing enemies to the emotional stakes of protecting Nora and her son—that keep the reader invested from start to finish.
Overall, Rumble is a beautifully written romance that balances adventure, emotion, and genuine character development. Tracey Kelly’s storytelling captivates, offering not just a love story but a tale of healing and hope. Fans of the Road to Romance series will be delighted by this installment, and new readers will find themselves eagerly turning the pages, rooting for Laz and Nora as they race toward a future shaped by courage and love.

Book 4 of the Road to Romance series. Can be read as a standalone.
'When old enemies resurface and threaten everything Laz has built, can he protect Nora and her son from the dangers that lurk in his rearview mirror?
Or will the past catch up to them both?'
The characters were very appealing and complex and complicated and absolutely perfect together. Plot was intriguing and intense and exciting and well paced. World building was solidly drawn and impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

This was so much fun to read. I loved how Nora, a fledgling reporter dived right into the part of a biker chick for the story she was writing. And Laz, former biker turned real good guy, shows her the way. He was such an amazing guy that was being to heard on himself. But there were the absolute best in this story. The fun and adventure, learning about one another as well as themselves. They were so good together. This was such a sweet story. I really enjoyed it.
