REVIEW~REAPER'S LEGACY By Joanna Wylde
Reaper's Property
Marie doesn’t need a complication like Horse. The massive, tattooed, badass biker who shows up at her brother’s house one afternoon doesn’t agree. He wants Marie on his bike and in his bed. Now.
But Marie just left her abusive jerk of an ex-husband and she’s not looking for a new man. Especially one like Horse—she doesn’t know his real name or where he lives, she’s ninety percent certain he’s a criminal and that the “business” he talks with her brother isn’t website design. She needs him out of her life, which would be a snap if he’d just stop giving her mind-blowing orgasms.
Horse is part of the Reapers Motorcycle Club, and when he wants something, he takes it. What he wants is Marie, but she’s not interested in becoming “property of”.
Then her brother steals from the club. Marie can save him by giving Horse what he wants—at home, in public, on his bike… If she’s a very, very good girl, she’ll get lots more of those orgasms only he can offer, and he’ll let her brother live.
Maybe.
A Romantica® contemporary erotic romance from Ellora’s CaveSynopsis
This book is incredibly special to me because it was the first ever biker romance I read and clearly I have not looked back since. I remember so clearly, I was at work when I got an email update to a blog that I follow they had a review and interview with Joanna Wylde. I read about the depth of research that went into creating this book and I wanted to know about the biker lifestyle and this book sounded like the best way of understanding due to real bikers Joanna talked to. I kind of felt compelled to buy the book so I did and it was one of the best decision I have ever made. It opened up a whole new world for me, as a newbie this was the perfect introduction the details was just mesmerizing I fully understood the culture and purpose the brotherhood and freedom that the biker group stands for what they fight for.
Marie & Horse's story was amazing funny sexy, hot, thrilling, adventurous you just never knew what was coming until it hit you in the face.
The writing was the star point for me about this book its effortless smooth it just envelopes you and bring the story to life in full HD.
Reaper’s Legacy
WELCOME TO THE CLUB
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…
well well well......I waited a long time for this and I was not disappointed Reapers Legacy was all I expected and so much more.....
Ruger has had a thing for Sophie ever since he walked in on his step brother having sex with her, Eight years later Ruger and Sophie sort of co-parent her son, his nephew together but they seems to hate each other. Ruger treats her like "part of the furniture" and he thinks she is a "judgemental bitch". Which is just all a smoke screen for what is really between them chemistry and a LOT of it. I really enjoy the banter between them constantly at each other's throats comical as well as Hot.
"She hates me, she hates the club, and the only reason she puts up with the situation is that she loves Noah too much to take away the only man in his life, Sucks for him, but I'm the best he's got."
No matter his beef with Sophie aka his "baby momma" his brothers give him a hard time and refers to as such to wind him up. Nothings or no one keeps him away from Noah he loves that little boy more than life itself.
Not only is Ruger one fine specimen he is a wonderful father to little Noah from the day he was born into Ruger's hands (Like literally when Sophie pushed him out on the side of the road he caught the little bundle of joy in his hands a life changing experience for him) Nothing makes a man more sexy than when he is a good dad.
Sophia escaped Zach (Noah's dad) for years ago to start a new life for her and her son and she has being doing pretty well until her usual baby sister called sick so she leaves Noah with her neighbour in order to get to work. But that one decision leads to serious consequences when Ruger gets a distress call from Noah who is in need of help. Sophia also looses her job that night after hearing a message from a very upset Noah and leaves work with put permission. When Ruger arrives with Horse he is furious with Sophia when he sees the apartment she is living in and learn what Noah has being through that evening. He gets revenge on the Neighbour and tell Sophie he is taking Noah so she can come along too and its non negotiable. Sophia has no other option than to accept Ruger's offer of moving back and living with him.
This sounds like such a good idea but its anything but Sophia knows nothing about club life and more over she don't want to get to know anything about them.
Living under the same roof is like living in a pressure cooker of sexual energy and frustration for Ruger & Sophia so its only a matter of time before Ying and Yang explode.
I loved the tug and war between them I felt like I was riding a wavy river of ripples.
The old ladies make a great deal of effort to welcome Soph and treat her life one of their own, as I read I just wanted to be one of them they are a feisty and loyal bunch.
"I don't have any right to put you off limits, either. But I'm doing it anyway. No fuckin' around with anyone at the club. Make that no fuckin' around, period. Your mine."
Ruger wants his to have his cake and eat it also, After much back and forth between them they finally give into the inevitable but Ruger still holds strong that he does not want settle down and commit. and for stubborn Sophie that is deal breaker so once again we have another Mexican stand off.
will theses two ever get their act together? What will it take for Ruger to make a commitment to Sophie? and will it be too late?
"I'm jealous as fuck, he said, his voice rough. That's not really my thing, but it's the truth. I don't much like the idea of some other man touchin' your sweet ass, and if one of them tries to stick his cock into that pretty little cunt of yours, I'm gonna cut it off."
Talk about Alpha male Ruger aka Jesse is like an Alpha on bloody steroids, but its Hot as fuck the way he just commands and take whatever he wants. He makes no apologies for his behaviours. He is who he is a Man a real man.....deal with it.
Sophie is his perdect match she can hold her own against him, he is big bad ans scary but she knows he would never hurt her so she pushes him and stands up for herself. She has being through a lot but its made her stronger "What does not kill you only makes you stronger" could not better describes Sophie's strength and determination. She has never let her situation get the best of her she is and always will be a survivor.
"That's when it hit me. I don't just lust after Ruger.
I loved him. I had for years."
Beneath it all this is a love story and these two love each other dearly. despite their arguing and power play Ruger is her home her safe haven he will protect her and Noah at all coast. He lives for them they are a family no matter how dysfunctional or quaky.
I am going to shut up now because I really don't want to say too much but this book is so much more than what I have said, its fact pace, hard hitting, gritty, it takes some unexpected twist and tuns that had my eyes springing from their sockets like bungee cord. I just love Joanna's writing style and flow she just draws you in with each word and develop her characters in a way that makes them very relatiable and realistic. She brings something different to the biker romance genre she portrays the lifestyle in a very unique way no matter your colour, age, race, sexual orientation you will be able to relate and connect to the characters.
The writing is beautiful, the details add another dimension to the story, the characters although biker criminals are lovable especially with their unforgettable road names.
"Road names stick because something happens to make make 'em stick. You know, a funny story or something stupid some one does. You earn them -just like any other nickname."
I love the authenticity of Joanna's books they fell fresh new and defiantly uniquely Joanna Wylde. When you read her work you could never mistake it for anyone else's.
I have a serious author crush on Ms Wylde she is awesome and I'm in awe of her.
Normally I hate waiting on a book but I know with Joanna the wait will be well worth it. from the hits in Reaper's Legacy about the next book Em and Hunter's story I know it will be another master piece so I will wait patiently with a smile on my face.
