Beyond Regret/Python

Serpents MC Las Vegas #7

by Barbara Nolan

Her ambitions are larger-than-life, and so is the biker she ’ s falling for… Women, work, and dodging his bookie keep Python, the Serpent’s Sergeant-at-Arms busy until a case of mistaken identity makes a petite, blonde reporter the third woman in his bedroom during his birthday celebration. KLAS news reporter, Virginia Swanson, strives to break free of her influential family and make it on her own. Interviewing Python about Ecstasy, the Serpents’ strip club, should be the story that fast-tracks her career. Until . . . Fate drops her into Python’s bedroom while he’s entertaining two other women. The sight of Python’s muscled, tatted body invades Virginia’s dreams, and when these two opposites are thrown together again—Virginia’s fantasy comes true.

Passion ignites a thirst neither can quench, but the timing is all wrong. When Python’s vindictive bookie threatens Virginia to make his point, Python pushes her away to keep her safe, but it seems only Virginia’s prominent background can save him. Even if it means never seeing him again. Can Python conquer his demons to deliver them both to a place Beyond Regret? Beyond Regret is a steamy, standalone bad boy biker romance. Although it is book seven in the Serpents MC Las Vegas Series, enjoy it in whatever order you like with lots of heat and a guaranteed HEA!

Love this series!

Beyond Regret is the third in the Serpents MC series and revolves around Python and a news reporter, Virginia.

Considering this MC makes their home in Las Vegas, the situations that occur are perfectly depicted for the area. Author Barbara Nolan writes fast-paced books with characters who are edgy and have no time or patience to let anyone get the best of them.

I love that Python is a badass but also a big bear at heart, especially when it comes to Virginia and his German shepherd, Kobi.

It's funny to observe an outlaw biker navigate his way with a news reporter as a love interest since, in most circumstances, the two worlds would never cross paths. Nevertheless, Virginia and Python are great together when they realize just how much they need each other.

I love the guys in the Serpents. It was great to see Cobra and Joker (swoon!!) as well as a couple of the other members. This story is action-packed and opens up the door for tons of different predicaments with so many new faces joining the club. I can't wait for the next one!!! Five stars for me!

I read this book after receiving an ARC from the author for my honest review.

This is the 3rd book in the Serpents MC series. I have not read the other 2 and it can definitely be read as a stand-alone. I did not feel lost on any of the characters.

Python is the road captain of the MC and manager of the club’s legit business. Virginia is a reporter for a local news station in Las Vegas. The two meet in an awkward situation but end up meeting later on where sparks fly. Python never feels like he’s good enough for Virginia or anyone for that matter. Virginia sees the good in him.

I enjoyed this book. It was an easy read and had a HEA. I love a good MC series and will go back to read the others. Even though the author isn’t from Las Vegas, she was spot on with her locations. She definitely has done her research. There are some steamy scenes but nothing to vulgar in my opinion. But I’m hard to shock and love a good sex scene in a book.

Only you... only me

Amazing!! Absolutely fantastic!! I could not stop reading this book.
What a man! Python will break every mold you’ve conjured up for the perfect man. He is it!! Bad ass, strong, confident, intimidating, sexy as hell, with a heart as big as his body!
Virginia is a little sassy vixen! She is the perfect match for Python. She might be little and somewhat clumsy but she packs a powerful punch.
Kobi.... I love that beautiful dog.
This story had EVERYTHING! I want to read it again and again!
If you’ve not read the first two, you really should read them first, just to fully appreciate the amazing world that the author has built. You will not be disappointed!

I took a chance on this book

I usually read my books on Kindle Unlimited. Something about this book intrigued me. I read the reviews and I took a chance on it (since I had to pay). It was pretty darn good-and I’m very picky about my MC romances. Virginia was such a great heroine. I loved her. She was smart and sweet and caring. I loved how her and Python were polar opposites, but they were so good together and could not stay away from each other. I also loved how (even though he was such a man whore) once he met her, he pretty much never looked at another woman again.
The sex scenes were intense and emotional. Especially at the end. The ending was fabulous.

[Googly55 · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 stars. A very thoughtful MC romance read. We actually get a glimpse into both Python and Virginia’s thinking that was refreshingly honest and didn’t fall into the usual rote characterizations that are so prevalent in this genre. Wish it was a little bit longer.

[Linda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story! Beyond Regret is just as good as the first two books of the series. Python, like Joker and Cobra before him, is a sexy, good-hearted hero with an inherently dangerous lifestyle. Virginia is a reporter and I loved her too. Her life is light years different from Python's but she is a strong character, not afraid to stand up for herself or follow her dreams. They meet when she is assigned to do a story on Ecstasy the strip club owned by the Serpents MC. Python is her contact. Despite their inauspicious first introduction to each other, there is an immediate and major attraction, and although each has their doubts about being able to make it work, they can't stay away from each other. This steamy romance has a great story as well as some drama and a bit of action and suspense. The writing is great. I really love this series and can't wait for the next book.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.

No regrets for this biker’s heart
Beyond Regret/Python: Serpents MC Las Vegas Book 3 by Barbara Nolan is a well written, exciting and suspenseful MC romance. The featured bad boy biker, Python, gets his head and heart turned around and on by sweet Virginia. Polar opposites turn out to be the best pairing, but when it comes down to the heart, they really aren’t opposites at all. These two characters vacillate between self-sacrifice and self-preservation.
The plot of this book is exciting and completely engaging. Both Python and Virginia are not only involved on the surface of both their work, but inevitably personally as well in multiple ways. As the author weaves her tale of her character’s romance and unintentional relationship, there’s plenty of angst, and antagonism to keep the reader on their toes.
Overall, this MC romance has tons of great things going for it including an engaging story with great characters that ultimately get their HEA (with a little pay back too).
I read an ARC of this book via Hidden Gems and voluntarily share my review.

I loved reading this book. It's very well written with a storyline that flows effortlessly. This one's about Python who's all alpha, tough, edgy, fiercely loyal and a whole lot more. Then add in Virginia she's a bit shy, not the most graceful, but she definitely fights for what she wants. Now put these two together and I think that they have each met their own match with one another and it's just a matter of time for something to either work or not between them. They go through a little bit of hectic things, have this push and pull with each other, but mostly they take what the situation or issue is at present and they face it head on working things out in the process. It's truly an amazing read and as the story unfolds you get to see how two deserving people help each other as well as what they expect from each other. This MC takes care of what's there's. You'll get some suspense, action, a little bit of humor, conflict, twists and a few surprises. But of course there's way more to this one than you think, you should read and find out. I highly recommend reading.

[Mindy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very entertaining read! Humor, feels, heat and conflict it has it all. Virginia is in Vegas trying to make it on her own without her father's influence, she comes from a very wealthy family but the amount of affection is in great question. Where as Python grew up in the system with no family to call his own he's found a family in his MC the Serpents, he big and brash and the muscle of the club, under his tough exterior he's got a soft spot for underdog and wants to help out every sad story. Virginia is not ready for what she sees at their first meeting, starring in his own threesome birthday party was not what she expected when she enter his apartment for an interview about gentlemen's club. They are opposites in so many ways, no way should they work as a couple, he's not into committee and she has no idea what she's getting into. Very fast paced, you don't want to put it down, great characters, loved this read!

A MUST read from Barbara Nolan's Serpents MC Las Vegas series!!
I absolutely loved Beyond Regret!!
The story had the perfect flow throughout and even with how different they were, the characters just "worked”. They had fabulously sizzling HOT chemistry filled with ALL the feels.
While the introduction of Python and Virginia was a very awkward moment for Virginia, I now can't imagine that they could have met any other way. Everything that happened with them throughout the story just made sense for these two characters.
Python and Virginia are the perfect match, even when they were denying it to themselves. They are characters you can’t help but love and want only happiness for.
The epilogue ~ as I started to read it, I could see it all so clearly and it’s exactly how it should be, and with Kobi right in the middle of it all.
Python and Virginia have become my favorite couple ~ don't tell the others, and I'm so excited for their future together.

A roughed-up, biker and a petite news reporter heat the sheets in Las Vegas

A case of mistaken identity drops Virginia Swanson, a KLAS news reporter, into Python’s apartment while he’s celebrating his birthday, in his bedroom, with two other women. The flush in Virginia’s cheeks, and the way the petite blonde stumbles out of his bedroom on her spike heels makes him smile.

If you like opposites attract, steamy love scenes, HEA's with lots of action in between, plus an outstanding German Shepherd, then this book is for you.

[Angela · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is my first time reading this author and have already downloaded the other two in the series. This is a great addition to the other MC stories that I have read. Python is a badass and isn’t afraid of butting heads but when it comes to someone in need, especially women, he is a softie. A big teddy bear really. Unfortunately, that sometimes gets him into trouble. I love how Barbara wrote the characters. We understand what they are but we see past their outer shells. Python and Virginia are opposite attracts and when the come together, explosions. I am a sucker for these types of books and loved reading this story.

I received a complimentary copy from Hidden Gems.

[Sharon · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Python who ran a strip club and was the Sergeant at Arms for the Serpents MC. He is a strong alpha but with vices but has a good heart. He was a player who never thought twice about helping someone in need. Virginia a reporter for KLAS News who comes to interview him and interrupts a menagerie a trois. Their chemistry is so hot but are they are really right for each other. Python has gotten himself in a bit of trouble and it is about to touch Virginia as well. This is a beautifully written, exciting romance, full of suspense and danger. I really love this author's work and look forward to reading more in this series.

A Debt Paid💔

ADULT Alpha Male Biker🐺💪🔪🔫 Romance💕 and Adventure

Thirty five year old tall, tatted, and handsome Biker club enforcer, Python🐺💪🔪🔫, finally finds true love with Virginia💃💋, a naive young reporter who keeps her wealthy family roots a secret.
He has a debt to pay that gets him into trouble.

ARC Provided by Hidden 💎Gems
I also got this with from Amazon for 99¢.

The gambling🃏 debt seemed incongruous, as part of Python's🐺💪🔪🔫 nature and character. To me, Python seemed like he was playing a role in his involvement with the MC. He didn't seem the type.

[GKP2460 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beyond Regret is another brilliant read in the Las Vegas Serpents MC series, and Python, who is the Sergeant at Arms for Serpents MC, and Virginia, a reporter covering a story on Ecstasy, the Gentleman's Club owned by the Las Vegas Serpents MC is very unlikely couple. But of course, in true Barbara Nolan fashion her imagination went wild with them and needless to say it ended up perfectly. I can't say enough about this book and how I much I enjoyed Python and Virginia's story. One heckuva ride that's for sure!

[Becky · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really love these characters. Such opposites that are so attracted to each other. And they work! So many feels in this read. I took the day off and read this. I couldn't put it down.
I haven't read any of the other books in this series. Will need to do that next.

I totally fell in love with Python! I thought it was well written with an easy to follow storyline. Both characters were well-developed and easily relatable. I love a bad boy on the outside but a big teddy bear on the inside. The issue I have with the book is the conflict and it’s resolution. The build up was there and then it fizzled out. The ending also seemed a bit rushed.

This is a great MC romance, I’ve read the first two books in this series about Cobra and Joker so knew I’d enjoy Python’s book. I loved both Virginia and Python he has such a soft and gentle heart which you wouldn’t expect from the outside, this book isn’t a slow burner at all which I love, the story develops quickly from the very start. Like the others the storyline is gripping and you’ll like all the characters, I couldn’t put it down so this was brilliant for me! I read this book as an ARC.

[Judy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Python is a motorcycle-riding knight in shining armor. His heart is as big as his bluster. It just took the heart and sweetness of Virginia to make him see the man he really was. Naturally, Kobi, the handsome German Shepherd added to the great storyline. I enjoyed visiting with the other members of the Serpents MC club. I have to say this was my favorite of the three books. Looking forward to more.

[HaleyJo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gahhhhhhh..... Swoon!

This series is killing me! Just when you think you read the best one....boom! Another one is right there waiting. I loved the hesitancy that Python and Virginia had towards each other. Each knew this was a bad thing, but sometimes bad feels so good! About as opposite as you can get, but that magnetic pull just wouldn't let go. Virginia's determination and Pythons perseverance proved to be no match for anyone or anything. Two amazing souls.

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Python talks a big game but is a pushover for a sob story. You couldn't help but smile at this big bad as butter biker. He met his match with Virginia. She may be small, but she definitely packs a punch. These two opposites were made for each other, and they were a lot of fun to read.

I read and reviewed a copy of this book.

I loved this MC romance storyline. It has action, adventure, chemistry, awkward moments, determination, great characters both main and secondary, manipulation, and sacrifice. The book really has all the emotions and includes a possible HEA. I enjoyed this entertaining and engaging book and will look for more by this author. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

The third book in the Serpents MC Las Vegas series a well written story that kept me turning pages. This is the first book in this series I have read I now want to read the rest of this series. Virginia Swanson, the Channel 8 TV reporter and Python part of the Serpents MC's story which I enjoyed seeing come together.

I love endings where the bad guy goes good. Python is a tougher than nails bad boy part of a mc with a soft heart who meets Virgina, a straight laced reporter with a tough side. Together they overcome many obstacles.

Fantastic!!!!

I absolutely adored Python and Virginia’s love story! They say opposites attract and it really works with these characters. Barbara is a wonderful story teller that delivered! Looking forward to reading other books from her. Highly recommend!!

[Christy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great MC book. Virginia and Python are complete opposites they go together perfectly! This book has some great action to.

[Christine Woinich · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another hard-to-put-down book by Barbara Nolan. Python was driven by his past to recklessness. He had the strength to give up some of the bad habits, but he still had consequences hanging over him. His weaknesses did not take away from his kindness, loyalty, determination, and strength, and kept him human. Virginia got more than she bargained for when she arrived at Ecstasy for her story. She had her own past driving her to do what she wanted, have a career of her own. She accepted Python with all his good and bad. She saw beneath the facade. I loved as she made the greatest sacrifice for Python, no matter how much it hurt. Kobi added a touching, personal aspect to the story.

This is my unsolicited review.

Beyond regret/Python (serpents MC Las Vegas book 7)

Python and Virginia meet in an usually way, she a newspaper reporter and he a outlaw biker. Their relationship is basically sexual and confusing to Python. He doesn’t think that he is good enough to have committed relationship with Virginia. He also have a gambling addiction. The MC brothers try to assist him in coping with the addiction. The storyline was excellent and entertaining.
