Summary – 4.5 stars
Reaper's
Legacy by Joanna Wylde is
the second book in the Reapers Motorcycle
Club (MC) series, and will appeal to anyone who likes the
television series “Sons
of Anarchy”. This story answers the question of what happens
when a devoted man-whore and a devoted mother meet. Sophie has been
burnt before by a man, and doesn't want to be dependent ever again.
Ruger has some old-fashioned ideas about women which are fostered by
his MC affiliation. Both of them want each other, but neither of them
want a relationship. There are lots of laughs and plenty of emotion.
This is another great biker romance from Joanna
Wylde, and is well worth the $5 cover price for 368 pages. I
still love Horse and Marie from “Reaper's
Property” best, but Sophie and Ruger are close runners-up.
Fortunately for me Horse and Marie get some page time too.
Favorite
Quotes
“Fifty bucks says your baby mama
could take you in a fair fight...”
“This whole situation is like a
great big zit that needs popping...”
Fantasy
World
The
author continues delving into the outlaw biker world in which
Reaper's
Legacy takes place. There are still plenty of parties and guns,
but this time there is also tense interaction with a rival MC, the
Devil's Jacks.
Tingle
Factor
Ruger is pierced
in all the right places, and he likes to tie
his women up. Fortunately for us Sophie gets on board the sex
train fairly quickly, and we get to spectate on all the action. Grab
a spare pair of panties before reading.
Romance
The romance is a little too
tortured, and drags just a bit. These two focus more on their lust
for each other, and their love for Sophie's son, Noah.
Drama
Sophie stumbles into one precarious
situation after another. It's not that she's dumb. Some of it is just
bad luck. The author really puts Sophie through a lot, but she
handles it fairly well.
Heroine
We meet Sophie as a naive teenager
who gets knocked up when she loses her virginity. As we follow her
story, we watch her get knocked around by life. She does the best she
can with what she has, and is a devoted mother. If anything, she's
too sensible, and might be a little more fun with a few more flaws.
Hero
Ruger is the step-brother of the man
who knocked up Sophie, and has always watched over her and her son,
Noah, even when they lived far away. Ruger is a total pig who revels
in the mud of the outlaw lifestyle. He's deliciously amoral, and will
screw anything with tits and a pulse. Ruger is also smart, and he
truly cares about both Sophie and Noah. He's a really great
character.
