Reaper’s Fall is the newest standalone in the Reaper's MC Series. Painter & Melanie's story is FINALLY here!
Available here:
The New York Times bestselling author of Reaper’s Stand is back in her “uber-alpha rough world of MCs”* as one woman’s future is rocked by the man whose hardcore past could destroy her…
He never meant to hurt her.
Levi “Painter” Brooks was nothing before he joined the Reapers motorcycle club. The day he patched in, they became his brothers and his life. All they asked in return was a strong arm and unconditional loyalty—a loyalty that’s tested when he’s caught and sentenced to prison for a crime committed on their behalf.
Melanie Tucker may have had a rough start, but along the way she’s learned to fight for her future. She’s escaped from hell and started a new life, yet every night she dreams of a biker whose touch she can’t forget. It all started out so innocently—just a series of letters to a lonely man in prison. Friendly. Harmless. Safe.
Now Painter Brooks is coming home… and Melanie’s about to learn that there’s no room for innocence in the Reapers MC.
What I say: Hands up who is a Reaper’s MC fangirl?!
*ME!!* I have to admit I’ve never been the biggest Painter groupie but after
reading an excerpt online, I knew I needed to find out more about him and
Melanie.
Like with Em's story I felt as though the tone
of Reaper’s Fall was slightly different from the other Reaper books because Melanie is also younger, but I
thoroughly enjoyed it. We get to watch them grow together and individually. The book
is set across a larger period of time than I was expecting, but it really helps to develop a sense of who they are as individuals and as
a potential couple.
I’m pretty sure it’s a
prerequisite that to join the Reaper’s you’ve gotta be a handsome manwhore - Painter is definitely both. As we’ve seen in previous books, he likes to
sample all aspects of MC life. However, he’s also a very dedicated friend. I wasn’t sure
how easy it would be to accept him with Melanie after thinking about him and Em in the
past, but serve me up a huge portion of humble pie, because I loved them
together.
I did have a few moments
where I found myself getting annoyed with Melanie, but most of my frustration
was aimed at Painter and his determination to control the situation. Mainly
I just wanted them to sort things out together.
It was nice to meet some
new characters. I loved Taz and have big hopes for his story sometime soon.
Also hello other MC’s!
Bring
on more Reaper’s…
4 - 4.5 Stars in my Sky!
Excerpt:
“You want to watch a movie or something?” she asked, nodding toward the TV. I had a decent one, too. Giant-ass flat-screen—homecoming present from the club.
“Sure,” I said, reaching for the remote. I didn’t have cable, but Ruger had set up some kind of box thingie for me so I could stream shit. “Whatcha in the mood for?”
“Not horror,” she said quickly, and I laughed again, remembering that first evening I’d spent with her at Pic’s house. She’d been so young and scared and vulnerable . . . I’d wanted to eat her up.
I still wanted to eat her.
“I can’t believe that you and Puck were supposed to be watching over me, and then you put in a slasher movie. That’s not how you make a girl feel safe.”
“No horror,” I agreed, although the thought of holding her for a couple hours while she was scared shitless appealed way more than it should. Watch it, asshole. “How about Star Wars?”
“You like Star Wars?”
I shrugged. “Everyone likes Star Wars. You know, I’m pretty damned sure Han Solo was a biker.”
She giggled. “You mean, like a space biker?”
“See, when you say it like that it sounds stupid.”
“I wanted to be Princess Leia. She’s badass,” she said, taking a deep drink of her beer. I watched as her lips wrapped around the neck, her throat swallowing. Oh f**k, that was good. She set the beer down on the coffee table with a clink, then let loose with the biggest burp I’d ever heard.
“F**king hell,” I said, stunned. “I didn’t think girls could burp like that. Shit. Impressive, Mel. Very impressive.”
She grinned at me.
“We’re friends,” she told me. “And friends don’t need to worry about stuff like that. Let me guess—you’ve never had a female friend before?”
“Not really,” I admitted. “I’m think I’m a little scared.”
Scared and turned on, which was weird.
“You should be. I can do the whole alphabet.”
Damn. I kinda wanted to see that.
