Reaper's Property by Joanna Wylde Book Review





Amazon Description
Marie doesn't need a complication like Horse. The massive, tattooed, bad ass 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 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 talks with her brother isn't website design. 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 “property of”.
Then her brother steals from the club. 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, she’ll get lots more of those orgasms only he can offer, and he’ll let her brother live.
Maybe.

Book Review
To say that I have read some really good books lately is an understatement. So before this I had only read two bad boy motorcycle books Kristen Ashley’s Motorcycle man and Madeline Sheehan Undeniable. I LOVED BOTH and let me just as after reading this book I am now starting of list of HOT/BAD BOY Motorcycle books to READ. I seriously think I have new favorite buzz words when looking a book blurbs…leather, motorcycle clubs, etc…(you get the point….HOTNESS).

The two main characters in this book are Marie and Horse (yes that’s really what they call him…Not kidding). Horse is a accountant, ex military, motorcycle club bad boy (Don’t you just love a bad boy that’s good with numbers lol!). Why do they call him horse you ask? Well I’ll answer you in his words….
“So why are you called Horse?”
“‘Cause I’m hung like one,” he replied smirking --Horse

Trust me as you read this book the way Mrs. Wylde describes some of the sex scenes with this man…..GOOD GRIEF (fanning self moment)! Just so you will have a mental picture of this gorgeous bad boy here’s a little description…..

“Tall, built, with shoulder length hair he kept pulled back in a ponytail, and thick black stubble on his face.  Stark, tribal cuffs ringed his wrists and upper arms.  And what a face…Horse was handsome, like movie star handsome…The thought of his below the belt assets led to a brief but intense fantasy about him, me, my bed and some chocolate syrup. Yum.”—Marie

Ok before I get ahead of my self with Horse, let’s talk about Marie. When we first meet Marie in this book it is at the hands of a domestic abuse situation. I’m going to just take the time to stop right here and say….. Its been a while since I read a book were the woman abused took one hit and was OUT the door (FIST pumping in the air)! The situation sucked but from this point on I was a Marie fan. Her story is a pretty typical one. Fall in love with high school sweetheart, gives up college/dreams, marries him, he cheats, he hits her, and she leaves!

Having nothing really but the clothes on her back, she gets taken in by her brother Jeff along with his world of REAPER’S.  In this book you quickly see Marie is a kind, loving, compassionate person and will do ANYTHING for her family (including give up her BODY)….. BUT one thing I loved about Marie was despite her caring and loving demeanor, she drew the line at being a piece of PROPERTY (oh her and Horse’s love story…sigh). Despite the sexual frustration between her and horse she knows deep down nothing good can come from this (needless to say horse doesn't agree). Well horse finally gets his window of opportunity with Marie, and let’s just say it’s not your typical let me whisk you away situation.  Her brother Jeff has stole money from the Reaper’s and become involved with a drug cartel (Yup he’s SCREWED).  None other then Saint Marie comes to the rescue by agreeing to be Horse’s “HOUSE MOUSE” (yes the meaning is exactly how it sounds but probably dirtier lol).

As the book continues to play out we see Marie/Horse’s FEELINGS and FRUSTRATIONS continue to grow. Despite how she may feel about horse/his life style, we watch Marie struggle to find a place she can fit in his life with out giving up an important piece herself (oh trust me she is nobody’s “SWEET BUTT”….Another FIST PUMPING moment!). Horse was definitely rough around the edges, but deep down he had a soft spot for any/everything Marie.

These are a few of my favorite quotes from this book.

“Marie Caroline Jensen, will you do me the honor of being my permanent bitch?” –Horse (yes he really said this… my shaking my head moment..)

“I want you to be my old lady, babe. That’s all I have to offer.  I’m a Reaper, and this is my world. You wear my patch, you be my woman and I’ll be your man.  We take the good times together and fight through the bad times.  No games.  That’s everything I've got and it’s all yours if you’ll take it.” –Horse  (my awh sigh moment….)

I really LOVED this book. I literally finished this in one sitting. Job Well done Mrs. Wylde.

Book Rating: A/5 Stars

Cheers,
Dr. Books
