ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 15, 2018
I didn’t think much about the photo shoot. Big damn deal. So what, a few models come in, put on some skimpy outfits and plaster themselves over our bikes. If that’s what it takes to sell my motorcycles, I was happy to do it.
Since I’d taken over the company after my father’s death, I owed it to my old man to make sure Stroker Motorcycles continued to grow into a powerhouse. I’d even left the road and my biker lifestyle to honor my father’s last wishes.
Besides, it’s not like a pretty face is enough to turn my head. At least that’s what I thought.
When I saw Cat, everything changed. I’d spent years on the road on my bike. I’d had a lot of one-night stands. I thought I knew what it was to lust after a woman, but with that gray-eyed goddess, just seeing her made me addicted.
Cat was just supposed to be another model. Now I can’t go three seconds without thinking about her.
Oh, one big problem. The woman hates motorcycles. To her, the modeling gig’s just a way to save some money for her kid’s education.
Why do I want a woman who hates everything I am?

REVIEW: BILLIONAIRE BIKER is the twenty third instalment in Claire Adams’ contemporary, adult BILLIONAIRES stand-alone, erotic, romance series. This is thirty-five year old, billionaire businessman biker Drew Stroker, and twenty-seven year old, model/single mother Catherine ‘Cat’ Villiane’s story line.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Cat and Drew) BILLIONAIRE BIKER follows the forbidden relationship between thirty-five year old, billionaire businessman biker Drew Stroker, and twenty-seven year old, model/single mother Catherine ‘Cat’ Villiane. Drew’s sister and Director of Operations at Stroker Motorcycles, Daniella Stroker has a terrific idea for their new ad campaign but Drew never expected to meet his future in cover model and single mother Cat Villiane, a woman who calls to his very soul. Drew spent years on the road, riding all over North America, but the sudden death of his father and founder of the family owned billion dollar business found our hero working alongside his sister in an effort to push Stroker to the forefront of the motorcycle industry. Never having considered settling down, Drew is stunned when obstinate and seductive single mother Cat Villiane calls to his heart. What ensues is the building relationship between Cat and Drew, and the potential fall-out as Cat is unable to let go of the past, a past that destroyed her heart, and killed the man she once loved.
Cat Villiane is a single mother who models for a living but struggles in the face of adversity as she endeavors to pay the mounting bills quickly accruing following emergency surgery for her five year old son Jack. Hoping to alleviate some of Cat’s financial struggles, Drew offers up payment while Daniella offers Cat a permanent position at Stroker Motorcyles, a position that now threatens the building relationship between Cat and Drew.
The relationship between Cat and Drew is one of immediate attraction but Cat’s hatred of motorcycles threatens any type of peace and harmony between our leading couple. The continuous back and forth, yin and yang, yes, no, hate and love is an ongoing battle as Cat struggles with her attraction to a man who represents everything she hates about her former life. A double-standard will come into play as Cat battles her need for security, and everything she hates about motorcycles and more. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.
We are introduced to Drew’s sister Daniella-a smart, sassy and business savvy woman whose is willing to sabotage her brother’s relationship for her own, and the company’s gain; Cat’s mother Helen, and Cat’s five year old son Jack Villiane.
The world building focuses on the Stroker Motorcycles ventures into the world of movie development, as well as the company’s upcoming ad campaign. The relationship between Drew and Cat struggles with the hardened beliefs and attitude of a woman who lost so much to an horrific accident that claimed the life of the man she once loved.
BILLIONAIRE BIKER is a well-written, fast-paced, energetic and sexy story line. The character driven premise is moving and emotional; the romance is captivating and provocative; the characters are spirited, charismatic and strong.
