Reaper's Fall by Joanna Wylde (Review)

Title: Reaper's Fall
Series: Reapers MC #5
Author: Joanna Wylde
Released: November 10, 2015 - Berkley
Format: Galley
Pages: 384 per Goodreads

He never meant to hurt her.

Levi “Painter” Brooks was nothing before he joined the Reapers motorcycle club. The day he patched in, they became his brothers and his life. All they asked in return was a strong arm and unconditional loyalty—a loyalty that’s tested when he’s caught and sentenced to prison for a crime committed on their behalf.

Melanie Tucker may have had a rough start, but along the way she’s learned to fight for her future. She’s escaped from hell and started a new life, yet every night she dreams of a biker whose touch she can’t forget. It all started out so innocently—just a series of letters to a lonely man in prison. Friendly. Harmless. Safe.

Now Painter Brooks is coming home… and Melanie’s about to learn that there’s no room for innocence in the Reapers MC.

Oh Reapers Reapers... I love you guys!  This is definitely my favorite MC out there, and Joanna Wylde is an amazing author for bringing them to life, book after book.  Reaper's Fall is all about Painter and Melanie, and it's a definite ride!

Silver Bastard by Joanna Wylde (Review)

Title: Silver Bastard
Series: Silver Valley #1
Author: Joanna Wylde
Published: April 7, 2015 - Berkley
Format: Galley & ARC
Pages: 448 Pages/Goodreads

Fourteen months. For fourteen months, Puck Redhouse sat in a cell and kept his mouth shut, protecting the Silver Bastards MC from their enemies. Then he was free and it was time for his reward—full membership in the club, along with a party to celebrate. That’s when he saw Becca Jones for the first time and set everything in motion. Before the night ended he’d violated his parole and stolen her away from everything she knew.

Five years. It was five years ago that Puck destroyed Becca and saved her all in one night. She’s been terrified of him ever since, but she’s even more terrified of the monsters he still protects her from... But Becca refuses to let fear control her. She’s living her life and moving forward, until she gets a phone call from the past she can't ignore. She has to go back, and there’s only one man she can trust to go with her—the ex-con biker who rescued her once before.

Puck will help her again, but this time it’ll be on his terms. No more lies, no more tears, and no more holding back what he really wants...


Ahhhhh.... PUCK!!!!  If you are a fan of the Reapers MC books like I am, you know who Puck is, and you've been anxiously awaiting his arrival in Silver Bastard.  Joanna Wylde, I love you.  I love this world you've brought to us, and I love how you can make a book that is relatively long fly by in the span of a moment.  Puck and Becca were beautiful to watch, and I can't recommend this book enough.

Reaper's Stand by Joanna Wylde (Review & Giveaway)

Title: Reaper's Stand
Series: Reapers MC #4
Author: Joanna Wylde
Published: October 7, 2014 - Berkley Trade
Format: Galley & ARC

As Reapers Motorcycle Club president, Reese “Picnic” Hayes has given his entire life to the club. After losing his wife, he knew he’d never love another woman. And with two daughters to raise and a club to manage, that was just fine with him. These days, Reese keeps his relationships free and easy—he definitely doesn’t want to waste his time on a glorified cleaning lady like London Armstrong.

Too bad he’s completely obsessed with her.

Besides running her own business, London’s got her junkie cousin’s daughter to look after—a more reckless than average eighteen-year-old. Sure she’s attracted to the Reapers’ president, but she’s not stupid. Reese Hayes is a criminal and a thug. But when her young cousin gets caught up with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might be the only man who can help her. Now London has to make the hardest decision of her life—how far will she go to save her family?


When I got this ARC in the mail a couple months ago - so new it didn't even have an awesome cover, I literally did a jump and squee.  I tried explaining it to my six year old why I was acting so excited, but she didn't really get it.  However, lovers of the Reapers get it, I know they do!  Picnic!!! Ahhh, finally, the man in charge!

Devil's Game was HOT! (Joanna Wylde)

Title: Devil's Game
Series: Reapers MC #3
Author: Joanna Wylde
Published: June 3, 2014 - Penguin Berkley
Format: NetGalley - Thank you PB!

Liam “Hunter” Blake hates the Reapers MC. Born and raised a Devil’s Jack, he knows his duty. He’ll defend his club from their oldest enemies—the Reapers—using whatever weapons he can find. But why use force when the Reapers’ president has a daughter who’s alone and vulnerable? Hunter has wanted her from the minute he saw her, and now he has an excuse to take her.

Em has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Reapers. Her overprotective father, Picnic, is the club’s president. The last time she had a boyfriend, Picnic shot him. Now the men in her life are far more interested in keeping her daddy happy than showing her a good time. Then she meets a handsome stranger—a man who isn't afraid to treat her like a real woman. One who isn't afraid of her father. His name is Liam, and he’s The One.

Or so she thinks.

When I saw this was the third book in the series, I had some reservations.  If you are a fan of this series, you know its about the Reapers MC, right?  And they are beyond awesome.  I read the first two books (out of order) and I loved Horse and Ruger infinitely.  But now... the third book is about someone from the rival club, Devil's Jacks?  I wasn't sure how it was going to go, seriously.  I already swore my allegiance to the Reapers!!

Review: Reaper's Legacy by Joanna Wylde



Title: Reaper's Legacy
Series: Reapers MC #2
Author: Joanna Wylde
Published: January 28, 2014 - Berkley
Format: Print copy received for review

Eight years ago, Sophie gave her heart-and her virginity-to Zach Barrett on a night that couldn't have been less romantic or more embarrassing. Zach's step-brother, a steely-muscled, tattooed biker named Ruger, caught them in the act, getting a peep show of Sophie he's never forgotten.

She may have lost her dignity that fateful night, but Sophie also gained something precious-her son Noah. Unfortunately, Zach's a deadbeat dad, leaving Ruger to be Noah's only male role model. When he discovers Sophie and his nephew living in near poverty, Ruger takes matters into his own hands-with the help of the Reapers Motorcycle Club-to give them a better life.

Living with outlaw bikers wasn't Sophie's plan for her son, but Ruger isn't giving her a choice. He'll be there for Noah, whether she wants him or not. But Sophie does want him, has always wanted him. Now she'll learn that taking a biker to bed can get a girl dirty in every way.

I seem to find myself drawn to motorcycle club romances lately. They have a certain dangerous aspect to them that other romances just don’t have. With the super hot cover and drama filled blurb on Reaper’s Legacy, I knew I had to read it. This is book two in the series, and I haven’t yet read book one. But I never felt lost. I would totally say this book could standalone if you wanted to jump right in.
