Romance Recs | Favourite MC Romances

Romance Recs | Favourite MC Romances

May 6, 2020

Hiya all. Over the last couple of years, I’ve been reading more and more romances and loving it. So I thought I would start a new feature where I recommend some of my favourite romances that fit a theme. These books might be every week or every other week, I’m not too sure yet. But we will see as we go. And the themes will range from sub-genres to types of romance. I’m really excited to start sharing some of my favourite romances. 

This week I decided to jump straight in and share my favourite MC romances. Motorcycle romances are very interesting to say the less and most of the time it’s not something that I recommend to everyone. But if you like your darker romances and alright with some not so great things happening – then you might like these for sure. I tried to share a range of MC romances. Some that are tamer than others, but I wanted to offer a range for those wanted to dip their toes in or love it already. 

Anyway enough of my rambling. Here are my favourite MC romances. Like always these are in no order. 

Wind Dragons MC Series by Chantal Fernando: If you are looking to start reading MC romances, then this a great place to start. While at times it is hard, it’s one of the more tamer ones that I have personally read. Some of the later books in the series get a bit harder to read, but overall they are pretty fantastic. Most of the books in the series are 4 stars for me, with a few getting 3-3.5 stars. My favourites have to be Dargon’s Liar, Last Ride and Fallen Princess. 

Thunder Road Series by Katie McGarry by Katie McGarry: This was my introduction into reading MC romances for sure. This is more on the high YA, NA side of things. But it is fantastic. Katie McGarry is still one of my favourite contemporary writers now and this series was so good. It dealt with some classic MC problems but also dives into some teen and coming of age issues as well. Nowhere But Here is still my favourite by far. 

 

The Fallen Men Series by Giana Darling: This is one of my recent reads and I really enjoyed this series a lot. However, I do want to put a warning there is a lot of taboo themes through the books and they aren’t for everyone. This series isn’t fully dark, but I do feel that it might go that way in the coming books. It’s one of those that are on the border, which could go either way. I can’t really decide which is my favourite at the moment. I really enjoyed all of them a lot. 

Hades Hangmen Series by Tillie Cole: Before I say anything. This is a dark series. There is a lot in this series that isn’t easy to read. So be warned before you jump in. I found this series really interesting. It did take me a while to really get into the first book. It’s much harsher than the MC romances that I had read before and much darker. But there is something that kept on pulling me back into this series. It’s fascinating truly. And I understand that it isn’t for everyone. But if you like dark romances, then give this one a go. 

 

Savage Disciples MC Series by Drew Elyse: This series had it’s up and downs for me. There were some that I really enjoyed and some that were okayish. But as a series overall I really did enjoy it. This is one of the tamer MC romances. And while there are still some questionable things that do happen throughout the series, overall it’s pretty okay. I also really enjoyed the spin-off series – Sailors Grave. And while it really isn’t about the MC, there is a lot of intertwining. 

Raven Riders Series by Laura Kaye: This is another series that is overall pretty tame, but also enjoyable. I really like the relationships in this one and the family bond that everyone seems to have. I like that this connects with her Hark Ink series and again how characters pop up between both of them. Book 1 and 3 are my favourite though. 

 

And that is it for this post! What did you think of my first Romance Recs post? Have you read any of these books? Are you planning on reading any of them? Let’s Chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
