ARC Reaper’s Stand
Biker romance’s are not my usual sub-genre of choice. Not unless the author is [a:Joanna Wylde|223343|Joanna Wylde|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1359652963p2/223343.jpg] and her Reaper Boy’s. I may never understand their freestyle way of life, but I sure get a thrill reading about them. There is just something about Ms. Wylde’s Reaper Boy’s that has attracted me and kept me coming back for more. This series delivers a very candid look into the MC world with it's crude language, explicit hot sex, and violence.
Reaper’s Stand is book four in Joanna Wylde Reapers MC series. This is a full throttle, hard core, and explosively raw read. With betrayal, heartache, hot sex, and action.
I have been looking forward to “Picnic” aka Reese Hayes book. This man-whore need a women in his life. I loved learning more about Picnic and seeing this guy fall hard for another women, when he felt he never would after his wifes death. I also loved the softer side we get of Picnic.
London is a strong independent women who had to make some very difficult hard choice for her life and the life of her cousin’s daughter. I liked London and how protective she was of Jessica even when I felt she should let go. The determination that London has to protect is fierce.
Reaper’s Stand is different from the others in the series in that it’s a second chance romance between two older characters. I liked that the couple where older, because it gave us more depth and life experience's. I also liked that this one had more action and grit. We also have more focus on family. Both London and Picnic value family and are very determined to protect. The relationship development for this story happens fast, but if you read the other books you will see how they have been attracted to each other for sometime. The sex is sizzling, gritty, and explosive.
As great as this book is I still had a few issues: I am not a fan of Jessica. Even with her disability, it does not excuse the shitty things said or done to London. I still have issue's with the lead women in this series. For some reason they all seam to do something that infuriates me with the exception of Em (Devil's Game). With London it was not talking to Picnic about Jessica being held hostage. Really we know he's the right man to help. I just wanted to yell at these women sometimes.
Despite my issues, I devoured this book. I’m in love with this series. I never once thought I would ever be reading a bicker romance that did not have a paranormal element in it. Reaper’s Stand is engaging, action packed, hot biker romance. I am dying to get the next book and see where things are going, especially after the author through in an extra bonus epilogue at the end that really left me wanting more.

Reaper's Stand by Joanna Wylde. Reaper's MC #4.
Adult Contemporary MC series. Interconnected standalone.
After about three books in a series, I tend to drift away because I want to expand my horizons a bit. But there are some authors and series that I stick with. Joanna Wylde's Reapers MC are one. Reaper's Stand is the fourth in the gritty, full length biker series, and may be my favorite.
As a mature woman with a kid about to go to college, I really appreciate reading about an older couple, especially with all of the NA out there. And Picnic, the President of the Reaper's is an older guy I've been harboring a little crush on for the last few books, so I was excited to read his story.
6 years ago, Reese 'Picnic' Hayes lost his wife to breast cancer. She was the love of his life, and he knew there was no other for him. He had two teen daughters to raise, and an MC club fighting a war against the cartel. Club pussy was free, frequent and easy. That's all he needed. He would never, ever have another old lady.
London Armstrong is 38, owns her own commercial cleaning company, and is raising her very reckless 18 year old cousin because her mom is a junkie. She hasn't really had time for a relationship in 6 years, but she has been dating a local police officer. One of London's cleaning contracts is The Line, one of the Reaper's strip clubs, so she has some professional dealings with the Reapers. When she finds out her young cousin is getting herself into trouble over at the Reaper's clubhouse, she calls in a favor to get into the clubhouse to get her out.
So while Picnic is 'enjoying' himself at the party, London comes to his office.
This bitch and her gorgeous rack have been making my life a living hell for the past 6 months, because she was the last thing I needed in my life, and I'd never wanted to fuck anyone more.
Not even Heather.
She was too nice, too clean, and way the fuck too grown up.
She’d run off screaming in the darkness if I cut loose with her.
Despite Picnic's good intentions, since she came knocking at his door, he couldn't pass up the opportunity.
"I don't want to get involved and I don't give a shit about your boyfriend. But I wouldn't mind fucking your tits- that'd motivate me to help. Your call."
London is desperate to find Jessica, so she offers a different deal. She will come and clean his house instead.
I love London's inner voice. She didn't even cuss, but her disgust, fascination and hormones that were at war in her head were fun to read about.
London feels safe with Picnic. She knows he is hot as hell. She has a boyfriend, but can't stop thinking about Reese. She knows he fucks random women, she know's he's dangerous.
She tried to fight her attraction to him, but it was a losing battle, the big scary guy could also be really sweet and understanding, and also really hot.
We know right from the prologue that something goes terribly wrong. And we get to watch it unfold through the whole book. It was pretty cool how it was told. You know, but you really don't. You'll see. There was a little more exciting action in this installment, and maybe a little less relationship building, but that's OK, it worked. London and Reese still took a while to get together, and they actually became friends first.
Likes:
- •It's great to read about some older people with responsibilities for a change.
- •London's inner voice was awesome.
- •They didn't jump right into love.
- •How much Reese loved his late wife.
- •Picnic was still Picnic, he was still a total alpha hole most of the time.
- •Damn, he's still totally got it at 43. (He's YOUNG!)
- •Visiting with previous characters and couples from earlier books.
- •Lots of action and excitement.
- •The epilogue. The BONUS epilogue has me panting for the next one!
Dislikes:
- •London did something in a split second that was a bit over the top and hard to forgive.
Rating: 4.5 Stars, 4.25 Heat
Joanna Wylde did a great job with Reaper's Stand. I love the more mature couple that's still totally hot and ready for anything. There was a lot of everything good: a hot alpha, dirty talking, good sex, a real relationship that develops, a gritty side story, visits with characters I love, some funny spots, and lots of action. I can't wait to read the next in this series, and I am already counting the days until the spin-off series, Silver Valley, and the first book in April, Silver Bastard.

Un tome que j'ai beaucoup aimé (alors que je ne m'y attendais pas du tout x))
J'avoue que Picnic est un personnage qui m'avait pas mal irrité tout au long des précédents livres et j'avais donc quelques doutes concernant son livre avec London ... Et finalement, même si ce n'est pas un coup de coeur (notamment à cause de l'intrigue un peu trop dark pour moi et Jamie que j'avais envie de tuer bien trop souvent !!), j'ai beaucoup aimé son histoire avec London =D
J'ai quelques doutes concernant le prochain livre mais je vais quand même tenter =)
PS : si j'ai eu envie de tuer Jamie quasiment tout le livre, la fin bonus m'a TELLEMENT donné envie d'avoir son livre =D Tellement de suspens ><

A book that I liked a lot (while I wasn't expecting it at all x))
I must admit that Picnic is a character who had irritated me all along the previous books and I had some doubts about his book with London ... And finally, even if it's not a favorite (especially because of the plot a little too dark for me and Jamie that I wanted to kill all too often !!), I loved his story with London =D
I have some doubts about the next book but I will still try =)
PS: if I wanted to kill Jamie almost the whole book, the end bonus made me SO want to have her book =D So much suspense ><
