Reapers and Bastards: A Reapers MC Anthology by Joanna Wylde

4.0

Reapers and Bastards is an anthology of four novellas written from both series. "Charming Bastard" is the story of how Darcy and Boonie got together. As next door neighbors, the two children played together, but by the time Boonie was in high school, he wanted more from eighth grade, Darcy, than she was ready to give, but he did give her first kiss. Later things became more complicated when she ended up marrying Farell when Boonie left town to join the marines.
In "Sticky Sweet," we learn that Marie and Horse met when the club paid a visit to Marie's brother to collect a debt.
In "Skunked" Horse's dog has been sprayed by a skunk, leading to a hilarious effort trying to clean up the pup, while at the same time, finding out something life-changing from Marie.
Finally, in "Sugar and Spice," Melanie stays with London and Reece after London's house blows up and Melanie thinks she is responsible. When she meets Painter, she is immediately attracted.
This is a good anthology, but like any other novella, these stories were just long enough to catch my interest, but not long enough to tell an entire story. Most of them were short stories leading into or out of another book. Well written, entertaining, but just not long enough.
