{Blog Tour & Giveaway} Reaper's Stand (Reapers MC #4) By Joanna Wylde (@JoannaWylde)

10/7/2014

As Reapers Motorcycle Club president, Reese “Picnic” Hayes has given his entire life to the club. After losing his wife, he knew he’d never love another woman. And with two daughters to raise and a club to manage, that was just fine with him. These days, Reese keeps his relationships free and easy—he definitely doesn’t want to waste his time on a glorified cleaning lady like London Armstrong.

Too bad he’s completely obsessed with her.

Besides running her own business, London’s got her junkie cousin’s daughter to look after—a more reckless than average eighteen-year-old. Sure she’s attracted to the Reapers’ president, but she’s not stupid. Reese Hayes is a criminal and a thug. But when her young cousin gets caught up with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might be the only man who can help her. Now London has to make the hardest decision of her life—how far will she go to save her family?

London Armstrong is not afraid of hard work. She runs her own business and takes care of her family all by herself. One of her customers just happens to be the Reapers MC and she makes sure to do her job and then get out as soon as possible. But she can’t help her growing attraction for the MC’s president – “Picnic” Hayes.

He’s the most intimidating and dangerous man she has ever met. Each encounter with him weakens her resolve. He reigns over her body just like he reigns over his club but when she needs help the most, will she be able to swallow her pride and let the outlaw in?

“It’s a guy thing,” he told me. “We like taking care of our woman. You don’t let me help you, the other boys’ll make fun of me and then I’ll have to cry. Are you trying to make me cry, London?”
He blinked at me like an innocent puppy, and I couldn’t help it. I started laughing, and we both knew he’s won.
“You suck,” I told him.
“You like it.”
He was right – I totally did.

Reese Hayes hasn’t had a steady woman since the death of his wife. But there is something about London that gets under his skin. He thought that with her, things would be different and last longer than a party at the Armory. So when he discovers London’s secret, will he be her savior or her destroyer?

I have been waiting for Picnic’s story and Reaper’s Stand did not disappoint. He was, by far, the most ruthless and the most passionate member of the MC and I loved him! He was the perfect combination of brutal and infuriating and then sweet and sexy.

Joanna’s Reaper crew made this one of the best books of the series and a gritty romance that you don’t want to miss…

Exclusive Excerpt -

“Are you gonna sit down or not?” he asked.

“I’m really uncomfortable with”—I gestured toward the woman—“this.” “That’s not exactly my problem,” he said, dropping a hand to rest on her head. “But if it’s an issue, you can take her place.”

“No,” I said quickly.

“Then sit the fuck down and tell me why you’re here.”

His voice tightened, and I realized he was running out of patience. Fair enough—he obviously had other things on his . . . ahem . . . mind. I carefully perched on the edge of the couch, facing the door. This was actually better, I realized. I didn’t have to look at him now. Although I could feel the woman’s movements through the furniture frame and that was very creepy.

“My cousin’s daughter is somewhere at this party,” I said quickly. “Her name is Jessica, and she has very poor judgment. I’d really like to get her out of here and home before she does something completely stupid.”

Like set the building on fire.

“You got shit timing.”

I didn’t respond, because what the hell would I say? So far as I knew, Hallmark didn’t make a “Sorry I Interrupted Your Oral Sex” card.
