I just started reading Reaper’s Property by Joanna Wlyde again! The Reaper’s MC series is the series I chose to read for my ‘September Series Challenge’. I have already read Reaper’s Property and love the hell out of ‘horse’ I’m excited to get back into this novel and do my first re-read on it! If you’re looking for an alpha male who is also a biker, definitely pick up Reaper’s Property!
Reaper’s Property
(Reaper’s Motorcycle Club #1)
by: Joanna Wylde
Marie doesnโt need a complication like Horse. The massive, tattooed badass biker who shows up at her brotherโs house one afternoon doesnโt agree. He wants Marie on his bike and in his bed. Now.ย
But Marie just left her abusive jerk of an ex-husband and sheโs not looking for a new man. Especially one like Horse. She doesnโt know his real name or where he lives. Sheโs ninety percent certain heโs a criminal and that the โbusinessโ he talked with her brother wasnโt website design. She needs him out of her life, which would be a snap if he wasnโt so damned sexy.ย
Horse is part of the Reapers Motorcycle Club, and when he wants something, he takes it. What is he wants is Marie, but sheโs not interested in becoming some bikerโs property.ย
Then her brother steals from the club. Now Marie can save him by giving Horse what he wantsโat home, in public, on his bikeโฆ and if sheโs a very, very good girl, heโll let her brother live.ย
I am also reading an ARC of Pitch Dark written by A.M. Wilson and Alex Grayson. I am only at the 19% point but I can tell so far I am going to love the intensity of this dark and gritty novel. Warning though, this novel is rough. and I don’t use the words dark and gritty lightly.ย
Pitch Dark
by: A.M. Wilson & Alex Grayson
Release Date: September 15th
One girl disappeared. After fifteen years, her cold lifeless body was found on the damp forest floor. Not an inch of her was unmarked by the horrors she endured. Alone, malnourished, abused in horrific ways; this was how she died.
One girl was found walking the streets, covered in dirt and scars. She had no memory of who she was, where she came from, or what happened to her. Even though the marks on her body attested to years of heinous abuse, her strength shone through at every turn.
Revenge and justice were sworn.
Years of searching brought up nothing but dead ends. Detective Niko James was too late to save his childhood friend, but he vows not to let down another.ย
The clock is ticking and the trail is pitch dark.
I finished four ARCs since my last WWW Wednesday post! The first novel I completed is Running Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds! This novel was everything I expected it to be and more! Levi and Fawn are freakin’ adorable! I can’t wait to see what journey the Fluke My Life series will take me on next! I rated this novel 4.5 stars! *Review will be posted closer to release date*

Yesterday I finished an arc of Pitch Please by Lani Lynn Vale. I was pleasantlyย surprised by this novel. It isn’t your typical ‘bombshell babe and athlete fall in love’ type sports romance I am used to. The female protagonist who is also an Athletic Trainer has curves and a feisty-ness that I loved! Not to mention the male protagonist loves his women with curves! This brought a whole new dynamic to the sports romance world, One that I love and can’t wait to read more from. $ stars *Review will be posted later*
Pitch Please
(There’s No Crying In Baseball #1)
by: Lani Lynn Vale
Release Date: September 8th, 2017
Baseball is life, the rest is just details.
Everyone whoโs played the game has heard those words a time or two. But Hancock has heard them his entire life from his parents. His family has lived and breathed baseball even before he started little league.
Hancock โPartsโ Peters has a name that inspires grins across many faces, but the moment those faces get their first look at him, those grins slide away.
Hancock is gruff, filterless, and doesnโt give a crap who he offends. He is the only man in baseball who doesnโt care if he gets an endorsement or not. Heโs there to play the game. Heโs there to win. Heโs there because baseball is his life.
People think heโs a jerk.And maybe he is. But if thatโs how he has to come off to get people to leave him the hell alone so he can play in peace, so be it. The less people he has to worry about offending, the better.
***
Donโt let the fear of striking out hold you back.
Sway Coffman didnโt mean to rock the boat. She was just there to do her job.
Sure, she was a woman in a manโs world. Yes, she beat out several of those men to get the job as head athletic trainer for the professional baseball team, The Texas Lumberjacks. And yeah, she now got hate mail from those men.But sheโs good at her job, and she earned the position.
What she is not good at, however, is talking to men.
Men seem to see her curvy hips, large breasts and thick thighs and automatically think she is incompetent. Because surely a fat girl couldnโt get the job treating some of the most fit and athletic men in the world, right?
Wrong.
This fat girl got the job, and she is proud of it.
What else did she get?
The attention of the sexiest bearded man sheโd ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on.
It was enough to bring to her down to her kneesโฆin front of that man, the hot and grumpy baseball player, Hancock Peters.
Last but not least, I just finished an ARC of Untouchable by Kristen Hope Mazzola. This novel was very fast paced. In fact I wish it would have been a little slower. I loved the story but wanted more from the character interactions. I also felt like there were some holes in the plot.ย

Temporary
by: Sarina Bowen & Sarah Mayberry
Release Date: September 12, 2017
The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen is the one who can ruin everything…
The first time I lay eyes on Callan Walker, I know heโll be trouble. With his smug grin, hot Aussie accent and thousand dollar shoes, heโs just the kind of rich guy who always gets what he wants.
And he wants two things: a night of sin, and my cooperation as he outmaneuvers his powerful mother to take control of his uncleโs estate.
I canโt afford either one. Iโm the only thing standing between my little sister and the foster care system. He may have money and charm on his side, but I have something even more powerful — pure desperation. This temp job at his motherโs company can become a full time job for me. It has to.
But when Callanโs eyes rake over my body, sometimes I forget my obligations. His piercing gaze finds the fun, optimistic girl I used to be and not the tired person Iโve become.
And it works–if only for a moment. Our night together was a mistake. I can’t afford to get sucked into his high-powered familyโs treachery. But the closer I get to Callan, the more layers I find beneath those expensive clothes. Though I canโt forget this is temporary. Heโs temporary. I have too much to lose.
Too bad my foolish heart didnโt get the memo…
Reaper’s Legacy
(Reaper’s Motorcycle Club #2)
by: Joanna Wylde
Reaper’s Legacy is a raw and intensely erotic tale in Joanna Wylde’s Reapers Motorcycle Club series.
Eight years ago, Sophie gave her heart-and her virginity-to Zach Barrett on a night that couldn’t have been less romantic or more embarrassing. Zach’s step-brother, a steely-muscled, tattooed biker named Ruger, caught them in the act, getting a peep show of Sophie he’s never forgotten.
She may have lost her dignity that fateful night, but Sophie also gained something precious-her son Noah. Unfortunately, Zach’s a deadbeat dad, leaving Ruger to be Noah’s only male role model. When he discovers Sophie and his nephew living in near poverty, Ruger takes matters into his own hands-with the help of the Reapers Motorcycle Club-to give them a better life.
Living with outlaw bikers wasn’t Sophie’s plan for her son, but Ruger isn’t giving her a choice. He’ll be there for Noah, whether she wants him or not. But Sophie does want him, has always wanted him. Now she’ll learn that taking a biker to bed can get a girl dirty in every way.
