Dirty Bikers, 1
The Devil’s Barbarians, a notorious one-percenter MC, have arrived in town. Debauchery, brawls, and cocky charm, oh yeah, it’s all going down.
LEAH
Carter Harris is danger with a capital D.
I have to avoid him. Resist temptation.
Riding into the sunset on the back of his Harley is not an option.
Or is it?
Wild passion. Heady longing. Bad-boy looks. Hell yeah, I could be persuaded.
CARTER
Leah White might be the biggest challenge of my life.
She’s tiny but feisty. She’s independent yet those lost eyes tell me she’s crying out for a man.
And that man is gonna be me. There’s no question about that.
Now all I gotta do is seduce the heck out of her, even if that means resorting to dirty tactics.
Excerpt:
Leah pressed her legs together, her muscles tensing from her belly to her toes and everywhere in between.
Carter had blocked out the sun. His face was all she could see. She was drowning in his eyes. He was witnessing the truth, her truth. She had judged him on his cut, his Harley, and his willingness to run with the devil.
A devil that was right now telling her that kissing him would be the best thing to ever happen to her.
“Good.” He kind of smiled. “That was all I wanted, for you to take the time to review your judgment of me.”
“What do you want me to see?” she asked softly, almost afraid to break the spell that had wrapped around them.
“A guy who likes a girl.” He touched her cheek with the crook of his index finger and ran it to her chin. “That’s all, nothing more.”
“I get the feeling there’s always more with you, Carter.” Where he was touching her tingled, as if she was super-sensitive.
He closed his eyes, his lashes long and casting small shadows on his cheeks. A muscle flexed beneath the stubble on his jawline.
Her breaths were shallow as she waited for him to speak.
“The question is, Leah…” He opened his eyes and nipped her chin. “How much more do you want?”
Her nipples tightened, and she had a sudden craving to have it all. All of Carter Harris. To suggest they rush into the beach house and rip each other’s clothes off. Fuck. Fuck hard, as if they’d never fucked before and never would again. As if their lives depended upon it. “I … I don’t know.”
“You don’t know how much of me you want?” His eyebrows lifted.
She swallowed.
“How about we start with this?” He lowered his head, his eyes closing once more, and still holding her chin, he set his lips over hers.
The relief of finally feeling him there, pressing down, drew a small moan of longing from her throat.
He slanted his head and probed with his tongue.
She opened up and let him in. He tasted of beer, the ocean, and desire. She was sure the desire matched hers.
The kiss deepened. He was a damn expert, and she became lost to it. Lost to him.
Reaching for his sun-hot shoulders, she let the heat of his flesh absorb onto her palms. Beneath his skin, his muscles were honed and hard. She felt so small and yet so safe with him.
Eventually, he pulled back, his lips a little shiny. “You have no idea,” he murmured, “how much I…”
“How much you what?”
He touched the center of her lips. A small frown appeared between his eyebrows, a neat straight line. “You have no idea how much I want to stay here, kissing you, but…”
There was a but? After that kiss!
“But,” he went on. “I have somewhere to be.” His jaw tensed.
“Oh, okay.”
He sat on his ass with his knees bent and arms hanging over them. His ribs expanded as he appeared to take several deep breaths and stare out at the ocean.
She studied the ink on his back. The words Devil Barbarian Until I Die arced over a grim reaper with its eye sockets on fire.
“So, I’ll see you around.” He stood, a little stiffly, then reached for his backpack and scooped up his boots. “I’ll leave you the food.”
“Er, thanks.” Why had a strange hollowness filled her belly?
I don’t want him to leave.
That realization was sudden and powerful. It seemed to penetrate to her core, an annoying fizz of frustration. She’d have to get her vibe out later and take the edge off it.
“You’ve got my cell number,” he said. “If you need anything while you’re in town, call me.”
“Thanks, I will.” She hesitated. “And I’m sorry.”
“For what?” He dropped his shades, and her reflection appeared in them.
“If you feel I judged you, Carter.”
“Hey, no hard feelings. I judged you too.” He shrugged.
“You did?”
“Sure, I never thought a goody-two-shoes like you, power suits, a mayor’s daughter, would make out on the beach with a biker. Guess we surprised each other, huh?”
Parts of the plot and character development seemed rushed and the storyline was predictable. As a first time reader of this author, I wasn’t sure what to expect but overall I enjoyed the book and plan on reading more from this author in the future.
This was a cute shorter read and I do love me some bikers. That being said it was very short and kinda typical.
bikers and bikers and bikers. what more can i ask for. Give me a biker story and I am ready to read it all. I did like this one alot. It drew me in and that was it.
Badass Biker by Lily Harlem is the First book in the Dirty Bikers Series. This is the story of Carter Harris and Leah White. Leah is a straitlaced lawyer whose father is the town's mayor. Carter has grown up in the Devil’s Barbarians MC. These two should be attracted to one another but they can't help but do so. Enjoyed this book.

The thing I hated about this book was that it had to end. The best way to describe this book is that it’s a wild ride. One minute I was laughing out loud and the next minute I was on the edge of my seat. Really great stuff.
Can I just communicate how much I want my own Carter? Because I do. Right here, right now, asap, I don't know what else to say other than I wish he was pulling up to my front door right in this second. Ok, now that I have that out of my system I'm ready to write this review. This is a fast-burn romance that includes enough smoking hot hotness that it should include a fire extinguisher. The chemistry between Leah and Carter is felt in the first chapter and only gets better from that point on. The two meet in the courtroom with Carter on trial for getting caught in a fight between his club and another motorcycle club and Leah is attending to support Willow who is Carter's lawyer. Leah catches Carter's eye which begins their twisty, turn-y journey. If you can't already tell, the book's characters are basically opposites but oh, how they attract! And when Leah decides to go on an impromptu vacation (though I feel weird saying that because she still worked during it), things take off. But not without Carter pulling some sketchy moves that had me wanting to slap him into tomorrow. But apparently, violence is unbecoming. Also, he's a fictional character so I'm up against that obstacle, but tomayto tomahto. Anyways, this vacation ends up being not what Leah wanted but needed because she is able to relax and let her inner-self out with the help of Carter. They even go on a date to Tijuana for tacos, and some suspicious stuff happens during it but as Carter gracefully put it, "What you don't know can't hurt you". Now, I believe in the philosophy that the unknown can definitely hurt you but I'll make an expectation for Carter. Other than this trip though they share more cute moments with Carter teaching Leah how to surf, all of sex-wait that wasn't cute. It was hot, sexy, steamy, oh my. The sex was something, there is a scene on page 406 that'll make your jaw DROP. But I digress because the best way to experience those scenes is going in blind. As mentioned previously, this book does have characters in a motorcycle club but the book doesn't focus much on it. It focuses more on Leah and Carter and their relationship. I honestly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read an opposites attract book where the characters are *chefs kisses*.
This book lives up to the title! Great character development, a strong plot, lots of action and suspense. A page turner I couldn't put down!
A first time author for me and I didn’t know what to expect but I actually really enjoyed this book!! Really light on the MC theme, the main crux of this was the love story between Carter and Leah. That’s not to say there wasn’t some MC shenanigans but this was actually mainly contained to the latter part of the book. Heat rating : super hot, this author does not go gently into her steamy scenes so be warned. An overall fun read with an MC world and characters I’m excited to read more of
I really enjoyed this book. Carter and Leah were both characters that were easy to like. Leah is a lawyer who doesn't know she needs a little excitement in her life. Carter is the badass biker who is really a softy. When they encounter each other, Carter makes it his mission to make Leah is. And it's such a fun and hot ride. You know with Lily you are always going to get some heat. Great job.
What can be better than a Biker that has a soft side, nothing. Carter Harris is part of the Devil’s Barbarians and has grown up in the lifestyle of a biker but when he gets caught up and finds himself in court he never expects Leah White to turn his head. Leah White an attorney who lives on the straight and narrow, her father is the town’s mayor and she never thought a biker would turn her head. Carter & Leah lead such different lives but you can’t hide the chemistry between the two of them. Watching them come together is fun to watch and knowing that they only care about each other is Amazing.
Oh my badness! I love this book. This is a fast-burn, contemporary, good girl and bad boy romance. There is a ton of steamy, sexy hotness and a big scoop of trouble swirled in for extra flavor. There’s also a goodly amount of angst with the female main character’s uncertainty with her relationships, as well as the climax(es). I like how the opposites attract thing works for the main characters, Leah and Carter. Leah is a buttoned-up, straight-laced, Harvard educated lawyer and the mayor’s daughter. Carter doesn’t wear many buttons, and his laces are loose and crooked. Having said that, he is a good person under the leather, motor oil, and shady business. I adored watching him seduce Leah! This couple took me on a wild and scenic ride. There are some gorgeous descriptions of the California coast, as well as a few sentences here and there that painted pictures of the ocean. I liked the Happy For Now ending, too. The characters deserve to be happy, but I would have felt weird if they ended up getting married and having babies after such a short period of time.
