Serena
Everything about twenty year old Serena James made Elray Carter male model extraordinaire want to get to know her better. She's smart, sexy, beautiful and one hell of a street motorcycle racer.
One look at her and he was hooked. It didn't matter that she was from the wrong side of the tracks. No, Serena wasn't like the models and high maintenance woman he usually dated. She cared more about cars and motorcycles than clothes and make up. His money didn't impress her and she didn't have an agenda to rope him into marriage. What a woman and he is determined to have her.
Serena isn't interested in any man, much less an outrageously handsome, rich, arrogant one used to getting everything he wanted. What she wanted was to escape the circumstances of her existence, poverty. Motorcycles were her life. Even more important they provided the means for her to succeed and achieve her goals. Her chance meeting with Elray Carter threatened her resolve because he touched her in a way she never thought possible.
Will Elray prove to be her knight riding in on a Suzuki GSXR 1000, or will he be just another obstacle for her to overcome?

About the author
Tiffany Parker
35 books13 followersHello and welcome to the good reads page of romance author - Tiffany Parker.
I was born and raised in the chilly Midwest, and spent much of my childhood and adolescences with my head stuck in a book. Reading has always been one of my favorite past times. The only thing more pleasurable than reading a book is spinning my own tales of intricate, sensual and erotic romance. I made the decision to write romance and relationship very early in my career because; I have always found intrigue in the complicated world of relationships.
I adopted the persona of, “The Urban Romance Author”, because I feel that my romances deal with real life and real issues prevalent in today's relationships. Of course I write the sweet and good relationship sagas but I pen the gritty, complicated, and yes, sometimes-hurtful relationship stories as well.
I myself met and married my husband Laville at a very early age. We have spent thirty-four years together and now reside in Atlanta, GA., with our children.
I was published for several years with two different publishers but in 2015 I was blessed to become a self published author. I have re-released my books, My Best Friend's Sister, Serena, Barriers of Trust, and Eye Kandee and I released one novella Erotic Confessions.
Shortly after I became self published I had a number of set backs and stepped away from writing and publishing for a number of years. Well it's 2021 and I'm back and ready to release new books for your reading pleasure.
I will also start back interacting with readers and other authors on my Facebook and other social media pages.
Happy reading to all my readers and happy writing to all my fellow authors.

Another nice read from the author. I have read 4 books so far from the author and 3 have not fail to disappoint me.
Serena want to race. She enjoys racing but does it for the money as well, to save what she has. She meets Elray, who is first interested in her for her racing but immediately becomes more interested in the woman on the bike.
This was a very detailed and well written book. The author brought back familiar faces from the first book and it was fun reading about them again. We also got to me Serena's family who also had their issues to over come. As time goes on between Serena and Elray a lot has changed as we are reading what unfolds in the book. I like that an ex lover is brought into the mix that might change their relationship.
This is a very long read but patience is not needed as your enjoying the read. This is the second book in the series and can't wait on book three. I really really want to see Trenton get his story next.
Storyline:GOOD
Intimacy:GOOD
Enjoyment:GOOD

AMAZING...WHY did I wait so long to read this book...I do NOT know...but it was well WORTH the wait...once AGAIN I enjoyed the camraderie between the Carter family and their circle of friends...and the love and commitment between Elray and Serena DEFINITELY keeps me turning the pages...despite there being quite a few typos...I'm still looking forward to the next book in this ENGAGING series...and hope I don't have to wait too long!

Wow, I would have not expected Elray to do a total 180 compared to the way he behaved in [[ASIN:B003YRIKGM My Best Friend's Sister (Forbidden Love Series)]] He was the biggest jerk in the first book, but when the love bug hit him he totally changed his ways. Serena was a well written character as well. The ultimate motorcycle riding virginal tom boy who falls head over heals. I don't want to give it away, but her secret is totally unexpected and shocked me. The family drama in this book was very prevalent as with the last, and it really adds so much strength and back bone to this story. Serena's mother and her fight to overcome her addiction is surely a storyline many people can related to, as well as Serena's issues with Jerry. I am thoroughly enjoying this series, and can't wait to read more.

It is a wonderful sequel to My Best Friend's Sister, the first book deals with Alexandria relationship while this book covers her brother Elray. The book has one wonder what you would do for someone you love. Hoping Tiffany does follow-up with the rest of the Carter brothers in future sequels. I am dying to know what will happen with the Carter twins. Great read!!!!

This was really a GREAT story....Can't wait to read more about other family members and their love intrest...This is only the second novel I've read by Ms. Parker and I can truly say she is moving up my list of favorites....Keep up the GREAT work Ms. Parker.

This was a good read! I admired Serena's strength but it was part of her problem. She almost denied her daughter of knowing her father and that was part of her problem growing up without her own. Elray's family was very close and loving and I was drawn to that.

If you have the time
I enjoyed reading this book, but it was a little long winded. We knew what the end would be, but it drag on and on.
