The Reaper’s MC series should come with a warning: Will rob you of a good night’s sleep. At least that has been the case for me with every single one of Joanna Wylde’s biker books. Not that I wish you all to suffer, but if you haven’t read Joanna Wylde, you need to. Sleep is overrated anyway.

There was no exception with Shade and Mandy’s story. I am thoroughly sleep deprived, but happy too. Obviously. Shade was a bit of an alphahole, as expected. Yet it was impossible not to fall in love with him, his charisma and large-and-in-charge personality being irresistible. Mandy tugged at my heart too. She’s just so real. I could see myself getting into the same scrapes and ending up in similar situations. She was so trusting and open-hearted. But also tough and resilient and resourceful.

Between the action, the courtship (did I just call a biker romance a courtship?), and the really hot sex (alphaholes have the best moves, let’s be real), and the badassness of the motorcycle club element, this story gets all the stars. Well, all five of them. And an auto one-click. Go one-click, if you haven’t already.
