Life is not a romance novel.
At least not for Sloane McDare.

Destined to be forever alone, the romance novels lining her bookshelves and filling her e-reader are the closest she’ll ever be to finding true love.

Cowboys, millionaires, hockey players, shapeshifters, and vampires? Sloane has read them all and everything in between.
But the one that really gets her motor running? That bad boy biker.

Determined to meet some of her favorite MC authors, Sloane makes the trip to the Motorcycles, Mobsters, and Mayhem book signing with her best friend in tow.

Sloane knows what to expect. This isn’t her first book signing.
Books, authors, and cover models. Oh my!

What she doesn’t expect is the Iron Fiends Motorcycle Club also at the hotel for the weekend. Sloane needs to remind herself that this isn’t a romance novel, and she isn’t going to get swept off her feet by a sexy biker.

Right?

My Biker: Iron Fiends MC by Winter Travers was part of the Mayhem Maker series written by various romance MC authors. Although there are currently 40+ books in the series, this was only my third book of the series and all can be read as a standalone. As to the Iron Fiends MC, it was the first for Travers and set the stage well for the series.

Sloane McDare was a faithful romance reader and was attending the Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem Book Signing conference. Aero was a patched member of the Iron Fiends MC. His club had just completed a charity ride and we’re staying the night before heading back home. As luck would have it, they were staying in the same hotel as a book signing. And the story began…

Winters wrote the story as a faithful and curious reader meeting a biker for the first time. It bounced between reality, fairytale and pinch me in case I’m dreaming moments. Sloane was awkward and funny and was referenced as cute. Aero was not your typical rough alpha biker but was portrayed as an average guy who happens to ride a motorcycle and is part of an MC. The plot focused on the introduction of the two and getting to know each other with a timeline over two to three days for the entire book. The plot was straight forward without any drama. The vibe was a deviation from the normal MC storyline.

Winters also introduced the club as a peek into the series and who we can expect. And lastly, she left a huge teaser aka cliff hanger for an opening into book two, My Savior.

A Great Start To A New Series

Ms. Travers never seems to disappoint and this book was no exception. I absolutely loved Sloane with her enthusiasm for her books and for attending the MMM book signing in Texas. It felt like I was living through her. How lucky could one girl be to meet one of her book fantasies at the elevators while tugging a wagon full of books behind her. That’s not embarrassing at all. She just about falls apart when the hot biker actually speaks to her.

Aero wasn’t about to let the book nerd off the hook because there was just something about her that he couldn’t get enough of. As for Sloane’s bff Dove, she was a hoot and is there really at “shot row” at this signing?!

This was a great start to the Iron Fiends MC series and I can’t wait for the next book to be released.

This first book in this new series has me completely hooked. The storyline and the characters will have you smiling and laughing until your face hurts. Sloane is a complete romance book nerd and meets Aero a member of the Iron Fiends MC when she is attending a book signing. The awkward moments, witty banter and the quirky nature of Sloane have you unable to put this book down. The way this author tells this story makes you feel like a book romance is coming to real life. The ending has you on the edge of your seat and counting down the days until the next book is released.

This book was so cute! I loved Aero and how he was always so kind and gentle and supportive. I loved how it was about a girl at a book convention for MC romance books meeting a real MC member. It’s the dream of readers everywhere 😆

I also enjoyed how the author included herself in the story and name dropped some other ones.

Meh!

So contrived and cliché. Hot biker, instantly attracted to shy, 'chunky' (her words & he is offended on her behalf) bookworm. The author even includes herself as a character in the book, one who watches said hot biker flirt with chunky bookworm and then gives her a thumbs up for encouragement.

description

It's not horrible, but I am feeling pretty indifferent about the characters or what may happen to them, and I really don't think that I'll be inspired to read any others in the series. Or anything else by this author! So, I'm just gonna call it here!

Winter Traver's latest book My Biker from her Mayhem Makers: Iron Fiends MC series was an excellent read. Just like other Mayhem Makers series books, this one takes place at the MMM book signing event in Texas. I was laughing so hard through some of this book it was so hilarious with the writers at the event including Winter Travers herself.
This book is about Sloane who is a die-hard reader who drags her bestie Dove to the MMM signing event where she hopes to meet all her favorite authors and pick up more books than I've ever heard of at one time. I'm talking multiple trips to her hotel room because she got dozens if not over a hundred. This girl remind me so much of me I just loved her. Her entire life is working and reading. She meets Aero a member of the Iron Fiends MC just like a heroine in her book would. He saved her from falling on her ass. Classic move and she thought she was dreaming. She fascinated Aero from the start. He'd never met someone like her before and was instantly attracted to her. They spend the weekend together and he was determined to show her she wasn't living a dream. That what they had was real and not one of her books. I was really able to relate to her when she told him "The real world is a mess, Aero. I do better with my nose in a book where drama happens, but it's all solved within a few pages. Books are safe." By the end of the weekend he was determined to keep things going and they did but unknown to him big changes were coming to his club thanks to his President and possibly some changes for Sloane as well when she gets an email from one of her favorite authors.
I gave this book a 4-star rating and a 3-spicy rating. I related to this book in a way I haven't in a long time. Sloane is just me at heart and her bestie Dove reminds me of mine. I'm glad that Sloane got the chance to live her book fantasy in real life like so many of us wish we could. And the turn at the end is the last thing I ever thought I would read in an MC series. I'm very interested to see how it plays out in the next book up My Savior.

3.5stars-MY BIKER is the first instalment in Winter Travers’ contemporary, adult IRON FIENDS erotic, MC romance series, set in the multi-authored Mayhem Makers, a part of the fictional Motor, Mobster and Mayhem world. This is thirty-four year old, machine operator Sloane McDare and thirty year old, Aero’s story line.

Told from three l first person perspectives (Sloane, Aero) and a final chapter from Olive, MY BIKER follows Sloane McDare and her friend Dove at the annual Motorcycle, Mobsters and Mayhem author signing convention in Texas. Sloane didn’t know what to expect but meeting the members of the Iron Fiends MC was not on her proverbial Bingo card. A drunk Dove, and a need for food found Sloane and Dove quickly making friends with several members of the Iron Fiends MC, who were in town following a charity run but Aero takes an instant liking to our story line heroine, and wants to know more about the books she reads, and the heroes that turn her fancy.

The relationship between Aero and Sloane is one of immediate attraction, and Aero knows immediately Sloane is the woman that calls to his heart. Wanting to know more about the books and their heroes, Aero becomes more than just a dream but Sloane’s real-life biker. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and dynamic secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to several members of the Iron Fiends MC, as well as Sloane’s best friend Dove, and newcomer Olive.

MY BIKER is a fast paced, quick read; an insta-lust to love story between two people whose meet cute is fun and flirty. The premise is entertaining and spicy ; the characters are sassy and spirited; the romance is spirited. The author drops a number of participating author name throughout the storyline, including her own, several times.

Areo & Sloane

A wallflower, her friend (the life of the party), and a hot biker walk into a famous book signing... and so begins a fun read and hopefully the start of a new series by Winter Travers.

A group of the Iron Fiends MC have just finished a charity run and are spending the night before heading out in the morning. The pres isn't excited for the brothers to hang around the multitude of readers and authors. He wants them to just chill till time to leave. The brothers--not so much. With so many hot women who write about their lives, it could be a hot night. Areo literally bumps into the wallflower and she captures his interest.

Is it gonna be a wild night or the beginning of something more?

It's short but fun. Sloane isn't used to being the one hit on by the hot guys. She isn't used to the hot guys wanting to spend time with her. She's at a book signing because she works and reads. That's her life. A life that's about to change if he has anything to say about it.

Readers are introduced to a bunch of fun characters and a cranky president besides the girls. Some non-bikers are about to learn what happens when they disrespect or pressure a woman around the Iron Fiends.

Don't miss this one and Ms Winters, please write a series about these guys and the women who try to tame them.

Ok, Just Wow!!! Ms. Travers gave us one heck of a storyline with My Biker. I laughed and smiled throughout. If you are a Romance lover, like I am, just imagine meeting the “book boyfriend” of your dreams. Well that is exactly what happens to Sloane when she attends her first Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem Book Signing - She literally runs into Aero, of the Iron Fiends MC with her cart loaded down with signed books as she tries to get on the elevator. That is all it took for Aero to want more from her. But Sloan knows life isn’t a romance novel and men like Aero don’t fall for girls like her. Or do they?

I loved the banter between Sloan and Aero as well as the cameo of Ms. Travers herself. Not to mention the banter between the rest of Aero’s clue and Sloan and her Bestie. That alone is worth grabbing up My Biker, but trust me when I say the book has so much more to offer. In fact, as book one of the Iron Fiends MC, we get hints of what’s to come and that includes not only these guys but the Fallen Lords and their ol’ ladies. I just can’t even imagine the antics they are going to get into.

Hang on to your seats this series is going to be a wild ride, told with Ms. Travers' unique flair for telling a story.

I realize that I am going out on a limb here but WTH!!!! I pre order everything the WT writes but this was rubbish. Too short, to quick, and dear Lord why did she write herself into the story???? I did not like this book at all, in fact, I hated it. I have pre-ordered the other books in this series and am going to call B&N and have them cancel the rest of them. For me when I buy a book with my hard earned money I expect it to get me through at least an afternoon. From start to finish it was 89 pages for me and took me less than an hour to read. I did not like Sloane and Aero was too nice for a real MC man.I did love Dove and wished she had hooked up with of the guys. I might have read another book if she was in it. I love a good love story but with a MC book I want a lot of drama from something and this does not deliver. Dear Lord a TV series. I just don't get this series and am not reading the rest. For those who love it.....more power to ya but for me I'll wait for her to add to her other MC series that feels like an MC book should. I want the HEA but I want the drama too. Anyway that is just my opinion and everyone has the same right to voice theirs. Love some Winter but not this series!!

Again as I said in a different review for a different book in this MMM Collection series. I used to be a huge MC reader and I used to read A Lot of Mrs. Traver's books. So I am not a newcomer to Mrs. Traver's stories.



This story was short, sweet and to the point. It made me laugh out loud at several different parts.



Look I liked Sloane. She's my kind of girl, a sweet, book nerd, introvert. But I will say that she did frustrate me though at times with her self body doubts. I guess Sloane is supposed to be a "bigger" girl, but she seems just like a regular woman to me.



I mean I liked Aero. He was a great and sweet guy. He was just kind of there and didn't really stick out to me much. But I did like that he always lifted Sloane up in her negative thoughts.



Like I said I did enjoy this story. It was sweet and short and funny. I also really liked the secondary character's in this story. Especially Aero's club brother's and can't wait to see more of them. Also loved Mrs. Traver's appearance in this story.



I'm giving this book 4.5 Stars out of 5 and can't wait for the next book!!!

**I received an ARC of this book for my honest opinion**

Sloane is a book nerd after my own heart, and she's content to spend her spare time in her books. She's been saving for the Motorcycles, Mobsters, and Mayhem book signing, so she totally is over the top in her purchases (RESPECT) LOL! Little does she know that she's finally going to meet a super sexy biker, and it will change her life going forward, but that's what happened. It was so stinking cute when she came face to face with Aero for the first time, but I was sad that she thought he was too good for her. The moment our biker met Sloane, he was done for, so he was determined to make this woman his no matter what, and he wasn't going to let her spiral as he made his intentions known. They had sparks going like crazy so there's heat very quickly (plus it's a novella so the insta was gonna be there), and I was cheering them on all the way. On top of this exciting time in her life, the cast of secondaries, including Winter Travers, had me laughing out loud, and frankly, I CANNOT WAIT for more on this particular path that Winter laid out! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This story was absolute perfection and such a delight.

Loved Sloane and Aero's story. Sloane was a woman after my own heart with her obsession with books and owning them all and wanting them to grace her bookshelves and the fact she drags her friend to this amazing book signing just to carry her book stash for her. Her giddiness was infectious.

Sloan is a woman who has very low self-esteem but, upon meeting Aero he is about to change all that and show the woman just what he sees after time he looks at her. Their first encounter was priceless.

Loved this couple's instant connection even if Sloane wants to deny it but, Aero is all about persistence and we will win and woo the woman he plans to make his ride and die. Loved the chemistry and sweetness of their romantic tale. Loved how Winter intergraded herself into the book and somehow she in some small way became part of their love story as well.

We enjoyed the fact that the brothers welcomed this shy girl with open arms many of them instantly loving her and some already even became fiercely protective.

Overall loved the chemistry between Aero and Sloane and how Aero went about making her his. We loved seeing Sloane blossom into the woman she was always meant to be. She was just a sweetheart and a hero is a big softy at heart. and the couple gave us a ton of laughs. The ending brought a bit of a twist to it and we are very intrigued about what will happen in the coming days and months for the brothers will it be a blessing or a curse only time will tell...

Sloane McDare is a book worm. She loves her biker and alien books. She is at a book convention with a friend, when they run smack dab into some real life hot MC bikers! Sloane isn’t sure what to do. Usually she just reads about this it doesn’t actually happen to her! She has always felt that being a plus size woman she couldn’t get the hot biker guy and she’s destined to be alone!

Aero is a patched in member of the Iron Fiend MC crew. The MC crew is coming back from a charity ride to their hometown and decided to spend the night at the same hotel Sloane and the book convention members are at. When Sloane runs right into Aero he can’t stop looking at her. He knows she’s the one for him.

Will Aero be able to make sure Sloane knows she is for him?

I did receive a free ARC book of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.

Um, can I have this happen to me like it happens to Sloane? That would be amazing!

A MC romance come to life for Sloane and Aero. The first of the Iron Fiends. And definitely need more! And a connection a bit to another MC we all know and love.

Sloane is me.. I am Sloane. This book hit so close to home for me I was like WOW, Winter straight took a part of me and put it in a book. Love her own cameos as well.

A book nerd, homebody Sloane works and reads. Areo is a biker (what else can I say). Chance meeting at a book signing!! And flowering from there. Add in shenanigans as well from Sloanes' best friend that push her out of her comfort zone that makes it all come together. To the future!

Sweet nibblets Winter Travers likes to keep her readers on the edge of their seats ! That ending though WTF woman please don't make us wait for the second book lol I'm a woman on the edge now 🤦‍♀️🤣.

I love Aero and his confidence and I adored Sloane she reminded me of myself . To be honest I'm always saying stuff out load that I don't mean to and I picture myself as the heroine in every book I read living vicariously through my favourite books and their awesome characters hoping one day I'll get my happily ever after with a gorgeous alpha male.

I'm so looking forward to reading more in this series I highly recommend winter Travers books , her characters are so relatable and the storylines always keep you hooked from the very first page .

What a fun introduction to a new series! Sloane & Aero are sparky, and I love the book signing meet-cute! Brilliant! I did feel like Sloane was maybe a tad too slow on the Aero uptake, but he did a good job of using kisses to get her out of her wonky headspace. 😁😁😁

Love the real world and Fallen Lords Easter eggs! Those made the story extra fun! And while I'm not expecting a hot weekend tryst next week at my signing, I DID keep picturing the Westin in Rosemont rather than the Texas hotel as I read! 🤣

Thumbs up to more fabulous characters and the awesome ending this author is famous for, which has me excited for book 2!!

Winter has done it again!! She drew me into her story and I couldn’t put it down till I was finished. I loved Sloan and Aero together. She a book nerd who loves her MC romances and attends the MMM booking signing where she gets to meet all of her favorite authors. When pulling her wagon full of her signed books back to her room she literally runs into Aero, a biker just like a hero in one of her books. Aero is drawn to her and wants to get to know her but she’s having trouble believing he would want to get to know someone like her. Aero will prove to her that she is just his type of girl! Can’t wait to see what happens next with this new series!

I don’t think I devoured a Winter Travers story faster than My Biker and that’s saying something because I’ve read just about all of her books! Aero & Sloane are such a great couple! He fell for her just how she was and calmed her insecurities quickly. It was nice to read about a thicker heroine and a sexy tatted man who appreciated her curves and all. When Sloane’s book world fantasies came true in real life, I couldn’t contain my excitement and didn’t want this book to end!!! Winter how come this didn’t happen to me after one of the book signings I met you at? I need a do- over pronto!

I've always been a Winter Travers fan and this didn't disappoint at all! Sloane is like many of us, enjoying a book signing with her favorite authors and a wagon full of books (I remember the first MMM, I came home with 112 books, yikes..lol) when a accidental run in with a sexy tatted up biker by the name of Aero happens. He is perfect for her and we see him bringing her out of her shell and gaining confidence, cause that man was ALL about her and her curves. This was a fun read and you'll definitely LOL, from our main couple to his crew and her bestie. You can't go wrong with a Winter Travers book and I can't wait for book # 2

Unbelievable, this book is sooooo good and funny, it should almost be considered a comedy.
Listening to Sloane both in her words and thoughts we wonder how she has survived and are so comical you never know what she will do. Aero is beside himself most of the time keeping her feet on the ground, they just make the cutest couple.
The whole story line with Sloane going to the see her favorite authors at the book signing is very cleaver and we as readers are able to through her adventures.
loved it.

The next one sounds like a great addition, also. Can't wait

"You're my Knight in shining armor who roared into my life in a chrome steed. " This is a funny and romantic story written about a book nerd (Sloane) who's fantasy is fulfilled while attending a book convention (MMM), meeting all her favorite authors, and allowing herself to spend some special time letting her inner goddess loose. A huge shout out to the author for inputting herself into the story in a Way that just draws the reader that much closer. Authors have fans and are fans of other authors.

Sloane and her friend had been to a big book signing when on her way to her room with her wagon full of books she nearly fell and was saved by the most gorgeous guy she'd ever seen, and he was a biker.

Aero and the guys had been on a run and were staying at the hotel when he spots a beautiful woman it's just his luck he catches her when she nearly falls and asks her to have a drink with him, she can't believe any one would be interested in her that only happens in books ....... doesn't it? ........

Loved this and i can't wait for more from the Iron Fiends MC

I love this book. And I really like that this introduces a new MC chapter, the Iron Fiends. The storyline is written well and it flows nicely. Aero and Sloane are fantastic. I liked their instant connection to each other as well as how everything between them evolves. Another thing that I really liked was how this book set up what's to come, kind of gave you glimpses into it and then it ends with a shocking on the edge of your seat surprise. I really did not see it ending like the way it did but OMG it was so good. Absolutely cannot wait to see where this is going to go next.

This is a great addition to this amazing series, and this is Aero and Sloane’s story. Sloane is an avid book lover and reader, and she drags her best friend with her to an MMM book signing, where she meets Aero, a member of the Iron Friends MC, who are staying at the same hotel for the weekend. There is an instant attraction between these two. This is a well written story which has humor, witty banter, friendships, romance, drama, and is an unpredictable, entertaining, and steamy addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Book Lover Signing

Sloane convinced her friend Dove to join her at a MC book signing. And Sloane fell into the arms of her very own biker, Aero. The story continues with Sloane discovering that her relationship with Aero is even better then her romance books. And better yet-one of her favorite authors want to know how she and Aero met….stay tuned to see if they become the next best seller. And what will happen with the realty show Yarder (club prez) signed the club up to be part of? And will Dove also meet her own biker bad boy?

Oh my freaking GOODNESS!

Now that would be my reaction if I ever got to go to Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem! Let alone Winter Travers talking and emailing me!!

And then to meet an actual biker and basically become one of the stories I read about!! HOLY MACARONI!

What a cool story this is! I’m really looking forward to reading more about the Iron Fiends, will be another awesome series, can already tell.

Definite 5 star review from me!!
