Loved it. This one has a tiny bit of what I can only describe as paranormal. Not giving away what that is but it's devilicious.
Bodie is part of the Royal Bastards MC but has been away lately. He lost his ol' lady six months ago. Murdered. Now he has been called back because the club needs him. While checking some things out he thinks he has seen a ghost but it's not. Guess he didn't know his girl as well as he thought. She has a
twin and this one is in danger.
This is more of a book that sets everything up. It's really good and hot and steamy.

3.5 stars
This story grew on me. At the beginning it’s like we’re coming in to a story that’s already been half told, which usually annoys me, but by the end I’d enjoyed the ride. The paranormal aspect of the bikers was dark but had a super cool and fun edge. We only really get a glimpse of it here so I’m hoping it’s flushed out more in subsequent novels. The Insta-lust/love was lightening fast. Their connection feeling more physical than anything else. It suited the story but left me a bit cold until right at the end.
There were some issues with grammar, particularly around the use of commas, but this left me interested enough to be on the lookout for more books for this particular charter of the Royal Bastards. There’s a whole bunch of interesting characters I’d like to know more about.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book since Sasha is the identical twin sister to Suraya, Bodie's dead ol' lady. But it really wasn't a problem - I understood Bodie's struggle with his feelings toward Sasha and it was clear that while he worked through it he didn't compare them. He did mentally compare how he felt about both women and how different they were. Bodie and Sasha were great together and you could tell that Bodie's feelings were genuine. He was all about Sasha for who she was and not as a replacement for the woman he lost.

Oh my, I loved The Biker's Gift!! The unbelievable writing skills of the author pulls you in, and doesn't let you go. I loved Bodie and Sasha's story and their chemistry was palpable. A great read, an excellent storyline, and realistic characters. Do yourself a favor and read it now, you won't regret it. I can't wait for the next book!

Listening to Bodie and Sasha’s story has me more and more intrigued about what’s to come and I’m itching to hear more about the Royal Bastards MC. This story pulls you in and will keep you turning the pages non stop, a great introduction to what I see being a action packed series.

You want to meet the reaper, this is an excellent start. Lost loves, death, violence, and a well rounded HEA, compiles this novella. It's dirty, wild and will keep you turning the pages.

I have been dying for the Royal Bastards MC series to start and the chance to discover new authors. The Biker's Gift is the first one out and I couldn't put it down! It has a paranormal element that I loved sooo much. Bodie is quite rough around the edges and not a dude you want to mess with. Sasha encounters him and they soon realize that they already have a connection. I went in basically blind to the plot and just let it all unfold. It was amazing, I read it in one go and I now have a new author to follow. The plot, the descriptions and the overall feel of the book sucked me and didn't let go. I cannot wait to see what else this series has in store for us!

This novella was a great way to introduce this chapter of the Royal Bastards. It was a read that'll pull you in and have you hooked. The chemistry between Bodie and Sasha is a given, they're perfect for each other especially after what they went through. It's a must read story, that I definitely recommend. I look forward to reading more and can't wait for the next book.

Thrilling!
WOW! This short story was amazing and utterly thrilling to read. It was an entertaining roller coaster ride from beginning to end. As an introduction to this MC club I am now completely hooked and I need more from these amazing characters.
This MC club has some serious secrets and I can’t wait to uncover them over the course of the complete series.

Overall: 4.5 / 5
The Royal Bastards MC is a series written by a collection of amazing authors. Each MC chapter is written by a different author within the Royal Bastards MC world. I have read several books from the New Orleans (Crimson Syn) and Idaho (Bink Cummings) Chapters, and I was really excited to begin this new one!
The Biker’s Gift is the first book in the Tonopah, NV chapter written by author Nikki Landis. This story differs from the other books within the world as it has a paranormal twist. I really love both paranormal and MC books, as both genres usually have a strong alpha male. So, as soon as the book appeared on my Kindle, I jumped right in!
The Biker’s Gift tells the story of Bodie Whitman, who’s been a nomad since his ol’ lady died six months ago. However, when his MC president calls, Bodie’s ready to help. Although, on his mission, he discovers someone completely unexpected, Sasha.
The Biker’s Gift is a great story, and I look forward to reading more in the series!

The Biker's Gift was a dark and dangerous glimpse into the Royal Bastards MC. The good, the bad and the ugly side of the brotherhood. It was an amazing short read about one man's past, colliding with his present...
Bodie dropped off the grid over six months ago when a rival MC murdered his old lady. Now, he seeks revenge and when his pres offers him the chance to retaliate, he doesn't hesitate. Since he's been patiently waiting for this very moment! Until an unexpected surprise has him questioning everything he thought he once knew.
Sasha and Bodie's chemistry is off the charts! Ms. Landis strikes again with a cross between a dark romance and a bit of paranormal thrown in for good measure. It was perfection and I highly recommend this thrilling series.

HOLD ON TO A SECOND CHANCE WHEN YOU GET ONE
I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review
Bodie lost his woman to a rival gang and has become rogue, but when called on by his leader for a favor, he doesn’t hesitate to give it. This leads him to Sasha, his woman’s twin, and Bodie is bowled over. No one in the MC knew Sasha existed. Life goes on, but Bodie must decide whether to pursue Sasha or let her go. A short view into the paranormal with demon possessed bikers. A good book to read if you’re into MCs and the paranormal.

This is the first in this series. Brodie lost his woman to murder six months ago and left the MC to get away from things. The MC is needing him back now. When he returns he meets his woman's twin sister he didn't know she had. Sasha wants revenge for her sister being murdered. There is an instant attraction of course being twins. But Sasha is not the same as her sister was. How will things play out between this couple? Lots to read and find out. So grab this series and read on.

Book 1 of the Royal Bastards MC series. Wow, what a story! I like it for the: non-stop action, with suspense, dangerous situations, violence, detailed intimacy, descriptive in settings & emotions, sometimes terrifying, strong examples of brotherhood, loyal friends and women who are fighters as well as lovers. There is a look at MC culture/politics and paranormal elements. Bodie is a member of the Royal Bastards seeking revenge for the death of his old lady. During his quest, he meets another woman that he feels the need to protect. Will Sasha let him? Will he give her a choice? More rough than romantic, the characters stay true to form with a cause for celebration in the end. But not everyone gets a HEA. Will be looking forward to the rest of this entertaining series! 5 stars

Unexpected but perfectly done with an insta jump in into story and action and a fast path to fill the gaps and make it a whole great story. Action, thrill, silent moments and overall at any time captivating.

Bodie is part of the mc and a wildcard after losing everything he loved in the past. He ends up with Sasha and their chemistry is off the charts. The paranormal twist is intriguing and I hope to learn more about it. A good read and start to the series.

RBMC what's not to love
Look I'm Biased as all get out, I love RBMC. Each Author dropping their magnificence upon the page through out the series I especially love the quirks each adds. Nikki's addition is supreme gold.
