Our Favorite Dark and Gritty Biker Romance Books

By 13 Comments

Time for an update on our favorite biker & MC (motorcycle club) books. We made quite the list a few years ago (our Ultimate List of Biker Books), which I will be updating soon, but then I received this very specific request for recommendations (and a sort of reader confession in itself), and I’m THRILLED to put this together for her (and us).

Okay so… April is looking for some biker book recommendations (HEA NOT necessary). Ooooooh she’s got a dark streak! She asks:

April: I’m hoping you can help me. Looking for a good M.C. book. And something that is a little darker. I’m not a HEA girl. So the darker the better… read more

Reader Question – The book where they meet at a barbecue, but he’s in the military and leaving soon…

Cassandra is looking for this one. Her questions is short and sweet, but maybe it’s enough to spark your memory?

For me, it made me think of a book I read a few years ago that I LOVED like crazy called Crazy Good. HOLY MOLY WAS IT EVER!!! Although I can’t remember the details in regards to an MC, but I remember they met when he was about to be deployed.

But, it’s probably not the book she’s looking for (though I must insist you read it!!).

She asks:

Help finding a book.

I remember  it starts out with the H guy and his friend meeting H girl and her friend at supermarket. They invite them to a barbecue. read more

Paris is looking for this book and it sure sounds angsty (and a bit raw, too)… I spoiler alerted here and there, so proceed at your own risk (but this one sounds good!!).

She asks:

Please help me – I am looking for a book I have read (MC Romance).

It is about a girl who lived next to two boys.  The older brother joined the army and then passed away.  The younger boy loved the girl next year but wanted to join the army.

The girl grandmother dies and the younger boy convinces the girl to go the college and leaves her at a party… read more

JulieO is looking for this one! At first, I thought it was Undeniable (although, so many years later, I can’t quite remember if she worked in a diner or not). But she definitely knew he liked her. Oooooooh yes and so forbiddeny!!!

But this one is a bit different in description, and now I’m dying to know!!

She asks:

A couple of years ago I read an MC book and told a friend about it and she liked it too.  The other day she asked me what the name of it was?  Of course I couldn’t remember but I know all of you won’t let me down. read more
