Lucifer's Lair MC #1

Taming the Bear

Rate this book
Will the president of 1%'er club, Lucifer's Lair MC, get tamed or will he still be wild?

Does the president of Lucifer's Lair claim his First Lady or does he let what happened in the past define him?

JOE:

I only hired Chantal to get to the bottom of who is trying to kill me inside of my club. That was it. All she was supposed to do was hack into the computers and find a connection and see who has been reading my emails and leaking information about drops. Having this pink haired pixie in my club and my bed pretending to be my ol' lady is definitely blurring some lines. Sleeping with her wasn't part of the plan and neither was having to save her from a rival gang.

Chantal ended up saving me in more ways than one. Can I do the same for her or will I just wreck another life?

CHANTAL:

As a private investigator, I thought I had seen it all and heard it all. Boy, was I wrong! When Joe "The Bear" Montague shows up at my office to hire me to hack into his club's computers, I knew I was getting myself into more than I could handle. With the promise of being paid enough money to pay off my debt to Big Sir, I took the job that Joe was offering. Being a fake ol' lady couldn't be that hard, could it? Little did I realize that over time, he would begin to mean more to me than just a boss and my savior from Big Sir. When we touch, it's like fireworks are being lit up inside of me. He's so hot and powerful that I cling to him in so many ways. I thought maybe we could make it out of the "fake ol' lady" title to me being a real one. After I cracked the job and found out that one of his own is trying to take him down, I began to fear that he would be done with me.

I've opened so much of myself to him. I gave him my body and heart and I hope he doesn't ruin them while he fights to keep his club together and the police out of his business. When everything is said and done, am I going to be more to him than just a bed warmer?

TAMING THE BEAR is a sexy motorcycle club romance with a very sexy and powerful brotherhood. This is the first book in The Lucifer's Lair Series and should be read first. Even though it's considered a stand alone, I recommend you read this first!

I hope you love these sexy bad boy bikers as much as I do!

Are you ready to be tamed?

I really enjoyed this book! For the first book of the new year I was very happy with it. While it's a MC story it has some twists that you may not be expecting.

Joe "The Bear" Montague, president of the Lucifer's Lair MC, knows he has a traitor in his club. Someone is out to kill him and this time they come very close. So he hires 22 year old hacker and private investigator Chantal Phillips to help him find the rat. Moving Chantal into the clubhouse as his girlfriend seems like the best way to get her close to the club members and spy on them. What he isn't prepared for is the way she fits effortless into his life.
But Chantal comes with some dark secrets of her own. And while she tries to keep her problems from Joe, things quickly escalate out of control.

This book is very fast paced and fun to read. I look forward to reading more about Lucifer's Lair MC.

For an MC book, it is a good book. This is my first Eden Rose book and it is a good story with strong characters. Joe is a pretty good guy for being a President of a 1% biker club. But when his life is threatened and he needs help he hires a hacker that just might be too much for him.

Chantal is a young hacker that has gotten into trouble. So when she is hired by Joe to look into his troubles, she jumps at the chance. But did she maybe take on more than she bargained for?

I really did enjoy this book and can't wait to see where the other stories go.

This book was great. Bear is the President of the MC and he meets his match with Chantel. Bear hires her to find out who is trying to kill him and find the mile in the club. She does her job and does it well but ends up with so much more. They fight their battles together and try to keep the club at peace. Excellent writing.

There were a lot of unexpected surprises in this book. Things from nefarious plans to trying to blow someone up, wiping them out of the MC. Why? What is the reason behind it all? Who is Chelsea? Why does The Bear bring her in? What does he bring her in as? What happens? What arrangement do they make? When someone finds out what Chelsea does for a living, what happens? What do they expect her to do? Who is Big Sir and what is his deal with regards to Bear and with regards to Chelsea? You're going to have to read this book, which is the first in the series, to see how things will go with the rest of the series!

Okay...

So this book had a lot of promise. I really thought I was going to love this book. It started out good. But then I started to see some inconsistencies. Like the fact that she says she's 5'1. So she's pretty short, but then one of the bad guys is shorter than her. Okay, so I could handle that okay. The Bear is made out to sound like he's a big guy, tall and muscular. But then there's a part where it's written that she is standing in front of The Bear and she comes up to his chin. So...who's tall and who's short? That happens a lot in the book. And then the writing style just started to sound more juvenile and rushed towards the end of the book. I wanted to like this book...I really did. But I just couldn't get into it that much.

Decent story

This was a decent story and started out well. It kept me interested enough to read it through to the end but I would highly recommend a good editor to go through and re-release it. The characters were pretty good but then towards the end it was like reading junior high school conversations and these ten e structures, grammar and other mistakes became very distracting. You were reading in one persons pov then suddenly realize it was the other person who made the comment you just read. Even the villains were jokes. This really does have potential just needs help.

***I received this ARC from the author in return for my honest opinion. All opinions are my own.***

There was a lot I enjoyed about this book, but also a bit that passed me off. I get that he had a rat, I get why he hides that he hired Pinky lol. I even love how they fall for each other, but the way the hang around treated her without any consequences was rediculous. They needed to be taught a lesson and it seems they got off. Other than that, I did enjoy the storyline. Great plot with tons of excitement.

Good!

This was the first book that I've read by this author and I can't wait for more. I've read this book in one sitting tonight, because I love MC! I loved Joe and everything he stands for. If you like MC you'll enjoy this one. I look forward to moving into book 2.

Taming the Bear: An MC Bad Boy Romance
Lucifer's Lair, Book 1
By: Eden Rose
Narrated by: Rodney Falcon

This is my first book written by Eden Rose and it will not be my last. She created an interesting storylines and characters that are complex and well developed. I liked the two lead characters, Joe “The Bear” Montague and Chantal Phillips and the chemistry between them. Joe is the President of Lucifer’s Lair MC, he has suspicions that one of the members is betraying him and the club. Not knowing who to trust he brings in an outsider, Chantal, to help him investigate. In order to get her in the club she needs pretend to be his woman. There is some great plotting here, I really enjoyed how it all played out, the dynamics of the club, the drama, the twists and the suspense of wondering what was really going on. And the romance is smoking hot. Thank you Eden Rose for this great story. I hope to see more of your work on Audible soon.

I listened to the Audible edition, narrated but the talented Rodney Falcon. He put a lot of heart in his performance, he brings the story and the characters to life, gives them their voices, personality and attitude. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

I must say that I do enjoy reading a MC book! This was my first book by Eden Rose and she created some pretty damn strong characters. This was a quick read for me. I would have finished it in a day if this thing called work wouldn’t keep getting in my way.

This book is told in dual POV from The Bear, who happens to be the present of Lucifer's Lair MC and Chantel, a pink haired private investigator with mad computer hacking skills.

Joe 'The Bear' Montague needs to find out who the “rats” are that are scurrying about his MC. He decides to go against his own club rules and hires Chantal Phillips to put her hacking skills to good use.

With all the lies and secrets, twists and turns, the not knowing who is friend or foe…kept me turning the pages. Oh…did I forget to mention the sex scenes! Silly me!

The downside to this book was the grammatical errors and misspelling of words. I know that every book has a glitch here and there, but I would highly suggest that Ms. Rose hire a really good editor and then do a re-release. This is a great book with a ton more potential if the book was given a good once over!

I really did enjoy this book and cannot wait to see what happens next in world of Lucifer's Lair MC.

First off, I'm a sucker for MC books. This one was really good. It held my attention from start to finish. Joe and Chantal have instant chemistry and can't deny the attraction to each other. The sex scenes between are hot enough to melt your kindle, I swear. The only thing I would have added more of, was the way they ended the bad guys. I'm not talking about an in depth description but I think the guys should have done more then what they did. They were dirty traitors and deserved a lot more then they got. Just my opinion. I did love the characters and how loyal they were to their president despite him taking things a bit extreme. In his defense, there were rats in his club and someone trying to kill him. Chantal was a good character, a bit naive for my taste but she worked good with Joe(The Bear). I was happy to see by the end she was able to handle the club skanks. She showed them that she belonged there. I'd recommend this book to others who enjoy MC books

I loved this! It does seem kinda slow in the beginning but as the story moves forward it really picks up! Chantal was a great lead. She is strong and has her own business. Her only prob is trying not to fall for the biker and the money she owes Big Sir. She has a great friend in Jen! I love their time together. She is so outrages! When Bear and a couple boys meet up with them for dinner. It becomes amazing! Slice is very similar to Jen. They do this one-up against each other. It was “one-liners” for hooking up. So so funny! There are serious times as well. This is full of guns, redemption, possessive reactions, MC business and some sexy times.
This is my first book by this author. She did a good job weaving the story with a lot of characters. This is the first in the series so I can see some of these guys getting their own stories. I feel a good job was done on the club “life”. I listened to this on audio and Rodney Falcon did a wonderful job.

TAMING THE BEAR is an MC Bad Boy Romance by Eden Rose. A full length book with suspense & with crime action adventure!

Joe Montague is the president of Lucifer's Lair MC Club. He found out by almost being blown-up that a member of his club was trying to kill him. He walks into the office of Chantal Phillips, who is a private investigator & has a reputation as one of the best computer hackers around. Joe wants her to pretend to be his old lady & help find out just which member of his club wants to kill him. Chantal would have to work for Joe & no one else. She would have to share a bedroom with him at his club. He offers her a lot of money for this job. Since she owes a lot of money to a loan shark, she take the job. Unknown to Joe is the fact that this loan shark is also one of his arch enemies. Joe also didn't know that he and Chantal would become a real couple either. There is a lot that both of them aren't ready to tell the other. This turns out to cause a lot of trouble.

Hard Core & Exciting!

So I finished this in less than a day. Yeah... It was that addicting and I was completely entranced. I loved the storyline and the chemistry between The Bear and Chantal was perfect. The separate POVs meshed well together and touched on some pretty deep topics. This is one of those stories that comes full circle and leaves you completely satisfied but also craving more.

Joe and Chantal

This was a good story. There some behind-the-scenes stuff happening to undermine the current Prez’s MC and he won’t stand for it. He’s gotta get creative to find those responsible. She’s his mole. Her hacking skills are beyond reproach. She needs him too. Can they survive what’s coming for them? This was a very well-written story. It’s fun to see the dynamic between the characters. Overall, good stuff.

I FLOVE MC reads and this one is no exception. The twists of who done it and why? And how they all fit into the secrets and lies is definitely fun trying to figure out. These guys are bad a$$ bikers and hot as sin. Bear and Chantal are prefect for each other and their chemistry is hot. You don't want to miss this read.

Fabulous

You know when you read a story and you don't want it to ever end. That's this story. Best is the President of an MC club and he hired a civilian to look into his club. Channel has a secret herself that could destroy everything. I didn't want this to end I loved these characters

Taming the Bear is the first book in The Lucifer’s Lair MC series, and is the first book I have listened to by this author, but not the first by narrator Rodney Falcon who brought these characters to life. This story has strong complex characters, unexpected twists in the plot and suspense in the story line. Looking forward to the next release in the series.

Great Story!💜

I enjoyed this MC romance that actually focuses on the club and not just the sex, although the sex was very good too.
Great storyline & characters.
Narration was pretty good but I had a little trouble distinguishing between male & female characters.
This is book 1 and can be read as a standalone. I recommend this book!

It was a great story, Hot and sexy but needed more about the club.
It also needs to be re edited. Words missing, sentences not making sense. I powered through and still liked it.
