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?

I was a little unsure about Reese ‘Picnic’ Hayes.
Yeah he sounds amazing - smoking hot and a total man whore in the previous Reapers books, but I just wasn’t sure how he’d do as a leading man. He felt aloof and shrouded in too many shadows for my liking. I just didn’t get great vibes from him, right from the start (ie book #1). And truth be told, I was a little dubious of London too. ‘Picnic’ definitely needed a strong take-no-crap female and initially I didn’t think London was up for the challenge, I couldn’t fathom how they’d fit. But she well and truly proved her worth and London and Reese quickly became my favourite couple (so far); and I think a lot of that was attained by London calling him Reese, opposed to using his biker name – and therefore separating him somewhat from the biker persona that I wasn’t overly fond of.

I can’t fault the writing here, Joanna Wylde knows how to spin a good yarn; her storytelling was on point with Reaper's Stand - plenty of emotion, angst, betrayal, and down and dirty biker life all came together to keep me hooked on this intense and gripping read.

I also enjoyed getting to know Painter a bit more and I’m utterly intrigued with Puck, I can’t wait to read their stories. And the added bonus of reading more into Em and Hunters story endeared them to me a little, especially as I hadn’t enjoyed their book as much as some others in the series.

Overall I really enjoyed Reapers Stand – the epilogue and bonus epilogue has left me aching for more though. I seriously cannot wait for more of Joanna Wylde’s sexy and dangerous MC.
4 ½ stars!

Excerpt

“Okay, let’s get some shit straight and then you can head out.” Great, here it came.

The Talk. Fortunately I was ahead of him for once.

“Don’t worry, Reese. I know this was just a one-off for you, and that you don’t

want a relationship. That’s what I needed, too, so in a way it’s perfect. No harm, no

foul. We can just pretend this never happened.”

A scowl covered his face. “What the fuck are you talking about?”

“Us. Or rather, the fact that there isn’t an ‘us.’ I get it—you like to sleep around. I

had a good time, but I’m not expecting a ring or anything.”

His eyes widened, and I smirked.

“Although I’ll be around if you want another booty call,” I added slyly.

Yay me! I’m a sophisticated woman who knows the difference between love and

sex.

Reese’s scowl grew deeper, and then suddenly he moved and I was under him,

pinned down against the bed. He pulled my hands up, holding them prisoner above

my head.

“Are you fucked in the head?” he demanded harshly. “You get laid for the first

time in years, it’s phenomenal—”

“Well, aren’t you the modest one?”

“It’s phenomenal,” he repeated, emphasizing the word heavily. “And now you’re

just going to ignore me? I am not fuckin’ down with that.”

Excerpts

I shuddered, and shook my head, burying my face in his shoulder as he started working my clit harder. My hips twisted over his, grinding his cock down hard as the tension built inside me.

“Ladies first,” he whispered, then used his hand on my ass to lift me just enough for him to shove three fingers down deep inside. Holy crap. I don’t know how he pulled it off logistically and I didn’t care. All that mattered was the way he filled me up and ground down on my clit at the same time. My heart was beating too fast and I felt dizzy with need and desire and pleasure that wound so tight I thought I might explode. Oh, God… please explode! Then it hit and I bit his shoulder so I wouldn’t scream, waves of ecstasy shattering me. My body went lump over his, and he pulled the hand that’d tortured me free. Then it was at my mouth, pushing inside until I tasted myself all over him as he gripped my jaw in a soft but firm hold.

“You ready to suck my cock?”

I nodded so fast it made me dizzy. Then I slithered down his body, ripping at his jeans and pulling his belt free. he lifted his hips to help me, his erection springing free to slap up against his belly. Id seen it before, of course, but never quite this close and personal. We hadn’t had a normal courtship, and I realized with a shock that we’d only had sex three times, total. Wow. Felt like so much more than that.

A little frission of excitement raced up my spine- there was so much more about him I couldn’t wait to learn. I giggled, giddy and he grinned down at me, wrapping his fingers tight into my hair.

“I feel like a kid when I’m with you.”

“I do, too,” I whispered back.
