Reaper’s Property by Joanna Wylde
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Steamy, but a little predictable
3.5 stars
I did enjoy this read, and I’m impressed that it was the author’s first book. The writing was solid in terms of grammar, etc. That said, I found the story a bit predictable, and some of the names were a little… too novelty, maybe? It was hard to take a character seriously when his name is Horse. Or Bam Bam. Even if those are real biker names, and they might be, they were unusual enough to be a bit distracting. That said, I enjoyed the character of Horse outside of his name.
The steamy scenes were hot. Really hot. But the story itself seemed a bit underdeveloped. I wish it was a little more fleshed out. More detail? More backstory? I just wanted a little something more.
I still recommend it if MC books are your thing. They are actually not my jam, but the high ratings (and number of ratings) led me to read it anyway.

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 talked with her brother wasn’t website design. She needs him out of her life, which would be a snap if he wasn’t so damned sexy.
Horse is part of the Reapers Motorcycle Club, and when he wants something, he takes it. What is he wants is Marie, but she’s not interested in becoming some biker’s property.
Then her brother steals from the club. Now Marie can save him by giving Horse what he wants—at home, in public, on his bike… and if she’s a very, very good girl, he’ll let her brother live.
Author’s Note: This book was originally released through a small publisher in 2013. This independent edition has been lightly edited, and contains a bonus short, “Sticky Sweet” (originally published on the author’s website) and a Q&A with the author.
