Review: Reaper’s Stand (Reapers MC #4) by Joanna Wylde

Reaper’s Stand (Reapers MC #4) by Joanna Wylde

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?

5 out of 5 stars

This was just EPIC! I loved it so much, such an incredible story. All I wanted to do when I finished was start rereading it immediately. Absolutely 6 stars!

Reese (Picnic) is such an excellent character. Compassionate, sweet, strong and in control. And London? I love this woman and her determination. Fighting and standing up for what she believes in, it was a thrill watching her really own it and become even stronger. The two of them together were really entertaining and their lighter moments helped balance out the overall intensity. I loved their bickering and animosity, there’s lots of sexual tension as well. Them together – holy freaking hot!

This entire story made my heart happy. Picnic opening up and moving on was amazing. He made me so mad with his womanizing ways, honestly I wanted to slap him at times. I understood though and kept reading because I knew he had it in him to love again. He is a man who cares deeply and loves hard. Every time he had thoughts of his deceased wife, it broke me. It was just this added touch that made it so special and meaningful.

The mounting drama that has carried out over the entire series has been fantastic and it was just this amazeballs finish that blew me away. I loved all the details, the interactions with the MC brothers, all the old ladies, as well as Em and Hunter’s side story, it was all excellent. I loved getting more of Painter too. I have to say, by the end of this story, Painter had totally redeemed himself in my eyes and I just wanted him to have his own happily ever after. I loved the overall story line and how everything unfolded, excellent pace, and awesome build. The last 25% was pretty much me holding my breath, I could not read fast enough. So intense and emotional.

Loved the epilogue and bonus epilogue. After reading the epilogue, I am seriously excited for Pucks story in the new Silver Valley series (name subject to change). I was so happy about the bonus epilogue because it was about Jessica, and seeing what she accomplished after going through so much in Reaper’s Stand was wonderful. I hope she gets her own story.

I adore the Reapers MC world that Joanna Wylde has created and this was everything I could have asked for and more.
