Joanna Wylde

Joanna's biker series is set around her home town of Coeur D'Alene in Idaho. Here we read about the Reapers MC.

REAPERS 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 she’s ninety percent certain is a criminal. 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 any man’s property. Then her brother steals from the club, earning his death sentence. 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, he’ll let her brother live. Maybe.

A REVIEW OF REAPERS PROPERTY 
This is an awesome book that I can pick up at any time and re-read and get lost in - and I rarely reread books. The characters and the environment in which the story is set are very believable - we see the story from both Marie's and Horse's point of view, and each point of view is equally well written. Over the book we see the development of a relationship between Horse and Marie - Marie's misgivings about life as the woman af a member of an MC... Yet at the very end it is Marie who is the hero - showing how much strength that role requires. Every girl needs a bit of Horse in her life..

 REAPERS LEGACY
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.

FIRST REACTION to REAPER'S LEGACY
OMG! I thought Horse was hot, and then there was Ruger... This book is at least as good as Reaper's Property, and, like the earlier book, could easily stand in its own right. Although if I'd started with Reaper's Legacy, I'd have bought Reaper's Property anyway. Based on the number of times I've read and reread this already I think it's safe to say this will be good value... It comes out on the 28th January.... Without letting too much slip it is say to say that Ruger is beyond hot - and has more than met his match in Sophie.... persuading her to give him a chance is pretty hard work....

 DEVILS GAME 
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...

REVIEW OF DEVIL'S GAME
Truly awesome. Joanna Wylde takes a gamble on a hugely successful series, and looks at things from a different perspective. Em found it difficult to find a man in her father's club, the Reapers, but after a very rocky start, where he kidnaps her, starts to develop a relationship with Hunter, a member of the enemy club, the Devil's Jacks. When we first heard of the Devil's Jacks, they were the stuff of nightmares with their treatment of Gracie. During Devil's Game we see another side to them and their struggle to change things within the club. The various interactions between characters representing different factions elevate this book above the norm. It would have been easier to write another book about the Reapers, containing more on favourites like Horse and Ruger, but Joanna challenges her audience to not only look at things from a different viewpoint, but also to engage with characters that were previously the enemy

REAPER'S STAND
With two daughters to raise and the Reapers Motorcycle Club to manage, Reese 'Picnic' Hayes keeps his relationships free and easy - and he definitely wouldn't waste his time on a glorified cleaning lady like London Armstrong. If only he weren't completely obsessed with her. Although London may be deeply attracted to the Reapers' president, she knows better than to get caught up with his sort. But when her young cousin finds trouble with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might be the only man who can help. Now London has to make the hardest decision of her life - how far will she go to save her family?

REVIEW FOR REAPER'S STAND
The problem I have with Jo Wylde books is that I am running out of superlatives. I LOVE THIS BOOK. I love the fact that the main characters are not in their twenties. I love the story line I love seeing characters from the other Reapers books. In all honesty I can’t think of a bad thing to say – apart from it’s only 321 pages – so far too short…. It will be a true disaster if this series ever ends….   Even though Picnic’s been in all the previous books this story still carried me away – it’s excellent that the narrative is sustained over the whole series without intruding new players.   Find out more at http://www.joannawylde.net/index.html
