This is not my typical romance type of novel. I've never been one for motorcycle or mafia or things like that. This made me change that view. I related to the character. Not only that our names is Tammy but I've ran from a domestic abuse situation with my children. I wish I had a hero to help protect and the way they are together is enticing and fun and so scary. I love this book

This is a good book. The two main characters are Tammy and Jayden. Tammy is married and has a son. Her husband beats her and her son. Tammy escapes her husband with her son and goes to California where her uncle is. Jayden works for her uncle, he is to open the house up and stock the refrigerator and protect Tammy and her son. There is an attraction. Jayden figures out her husband is abusing her and her son. He states he will not let him hurt them. Her husband shows up. Jayden takes care of him. Tammy and Jayden realize they love each other.

Thanks NetGalley!

It was spicy and fun to read. If you love age gap biker romances that is easy to read you should check it out. I enjoyed my time reading it. I recommend it.

Holy Smoke! It just never ceases to amaze me how authors come up with storylines and steam scenes!

Renegade Biker by Lily Harlem has a tough topic, domestic violence, and how one, Tammy, could trust and love again with a man who has a different lifestyle than what she is use to. For me, the book started off really good, but I just felt that Tammy was too quick to trust again so quickly in the pace of this book considering she experienced domestic abuse from her husband. Other than that, the book was great!

Lots and lots and LOTS of steam scenes! And the man on the cover!?!?! Holy moly!

Thank you to Evernight Publishing and Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was hot and bothered the entire time of this biker romance short story! If you are one to appeal to an older, rougher, biker fantasy, this one is for you no doubt!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Evernight Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I am trying new things and MC books are one of them. This was so sad, but Tammy finally had the courage to escape. This is a story of new life and growth. She runs away from something and found a better place. Jayden was not the typical biker guy at least not that I know of. Interesting story. 3.5 stars

This was the first book I've read from Lily Harlem. The fact that it was 3 books into a series wasn't an issue. It read well as a stand alone and has inspired me to check out the first two in the series.
Tammy was a great character. I think it's hard a hard balancing act in romance to depict a victim of domestic violence without dwelling on the actual abuse. Tammy obviously suffers from some PTSD but is determined not to let herself be revictimized by the memory of that abuse.
Jayden starts as a typical alpha MC character, but I liked that he changes his tune pretty quick and he realized how careful he needed to be with Tammy's heart. I was a bit disturbed at the end by his actions/words in front of Tammy's son Zak at the end, but honestly in a situation like they were going through it wasn't inaccurate.
I wish there had been a bit more beef to the relationship development and more build up to the main event near the end. I wasn't surprised by the event so I felt a bit let down.

This book shows what a difference a good man can make. Even though Jayden is in an MC , there's not too much focus on the MC life. Overall, it's a great story about good vs evil and the fact that appearances can be surprising.

Jayden and Tammy

This book starts out with intensity with Tammy and her son trying to get away from her abusive husband. She asks her uncle for help who happens to be the Prez of the Devil’s Barbarian MC so he has one of his brothers, Jayden, look after Tammy and her little boy.

This is a soft MC book but gives hope and happiness for not only Tammy but for Jayden as well. This is a first-time author for me and I will definitely be checking out more of her books.

Tammy and her young son are on the run from her abusive husband and runs to her uncle, the leader of a motorcycle club; where she is guarded by a tough but soft-hearted MC member, Jayden. Their relationship develops slowly as she and her son finds their place in their new environment. There's a bit of twist and suspense at the end that is quickly resolved and some dark elements that are hinted at but not overt.. An enjoyable, quick read.

Tammy's husband is treating her badly. And that's the understatement of the year, believe me. The only person who can help her is her uncle, a member of The Devil's Barbarians.
When she gets there, Jayden is the one who must protect her. They are together all the time. And they start to have feelings for each other. But Tammy is scared. And she is right.

Tammy runs away with her young son from her abusive husband and finds protection with her Uncle's MC. Jayden is the biker sent to watch over her and they fall in love. I really liked this fairly short book about a sexy biker with questionable morals and the slightly religious abused mom. Jayden was really careful with Tammy, not wanting to scare her and harm her further and they took their time in falling for each other. It was romantic and sexy and well worth the read.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ecopy of this book!

Wow!! This book had me hooked from the first paragraph, and that rarely happens! First and foremost, I wish I had a group of biker boys protecting me at all costs!
This book gripped me and held on tight from the first page to the last. Tammy is in an abusive relationship and finds the strength to leave with her sweet little boy Zak. Unknown to her, the place she runs to changes her life more than she would ever fathom. I loved so much about this book, I can’t wait to read more by this author! Do yourself a favor and give this one a shot, you won’t be disappointed!!

I had to DNF it. The writing felt juvenile. It was a lot of telling instead of showing and I just didn't see this story going anywhere.

DNF at 10%

Thank you Netgally for providing me an eARC of this book.

“Jayden made her feel sexy, beautiful, and worthy of pleasure.”

This book was very cute i liked it i kinda wish it was longer though. I liked the world building and the writing style was good although the story was kinda predictable it was very entertaining.

I liked Jayden’s character he’s such a teddy bear. I liked his relationship with Tammy and Zak it was wholesome watching him bond with them.

I liked Tammy’s character she was ok I guess and I’m so glad she got out when she did. I loved her uncle he’s a softie but only when it comes to his niece. The side characters were great they added an nice touch to that story i liked them.

Overall this book was great. If you like MC, fast paced, insta love romance books the. I suggest to pick up this book.

“He never wanted to see fear in her eyes again, only desire, trust, and love.”

I really enjoyed this single parent MC Romance. I loved the way the MC handled her and her son. Ensuring their safety and giving them space to feel safe. Great chemistry between Tammy and Jayden. He was so patient with her. I loved it!

Tammy has always tried to be good but her fairytale wedded life has taken a hard turn in the wrong direction and she needs a fresh break. She turns to help from her biker uncle. Jayden has lived his life almost the total opposite from Tammy. As part of the same MC as Tammy’s uncle he was initially annoyed at being given the responsibility of helping Tammy but one look at her and her son and he’s found a new reason in life. This was the first book for me by this author and is apparently part of a series, although I had no problem with following along even though I had not read the others. As a woman in an abusive relationship Tammy’s story may have some triggers for some readers but the story is a nice sweet read with a mix of heat and humor, especially when dealing with her son. I also really enjoyed the fact that the “bad” biker was really the “good guy” as Jayden went beyond the typical MC troupe that most stories follow. I only wish their relationship was a bit longer, otherwise a great read. 4 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed an arc copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Tammy must escape her abusive husband, and she knows there’s one person she can reach out to for help: an uncle who’s the leader of his motorcycle club. Once she makes it to the haven her uncle offers, the path to her redemption is smooth, so Renegade Biker is a romance that goes down easy.

Much of that ease is due to Jayden, the MC member her uncle assigns to watch over Tammy and her son and adjust them to their new lifestyle. The fact that Tammy and Jayden are attracted to one another is an unexpected aspect of Tammy transforming her life.

The first couple of chapters of Renegade Biker give Harlem a chance to excel in displaying her writing chops—the feeling of dread she creates is palpable as Tammy both works to comfort her son Zak and keep him quiet so her drunken husband doesn’t find them while they’re hiding from him. TW for recollections of past torment in these early chapters, but it’s a gripping start.

Part of the reason Renegade Biker goes down easy is that things *are* awfully easy for Tammy after her escape. Once Tammy is under her uncle’s protection, her struggles are primarily internal and relatively minor, as she shifted from an abused wife to someone who’d welcome Jayden into her bed and her life pretty quickly. I would have liked to have seen more time elapse and more changes in her life (like a job or integrating more with the MC) before a complete relationship with Jayden was established. And Jayden is pretty much ideal—he’s kind and thoughtful and great with Zak. Seeing Jayden make a couple of mistakes and not be quite so perfect would have rounded out and shaded his character more.

This book is basically a cabin romance, as most of it focuses on Tammy and Jayden in the home her uncle lets her stay in. Renegade Biker moves to an exciting (and somewhat foregone) conclusion, and the sensual scenes are nicely spicy—it’s fantastic to see the elements of consent that Harlem includes in Tammy and Jayden’s physical encounters. Even if everything’s just a little too easy in Renegade Biker, it’s fun to read and definitely recommended for fans of MC romance.
