O M GEEE minions! This was one crazy roller-coaster, I mean I was up and then I was down, and then I was up again but then I was upside down. It was crazy. Lee does not disappoint peeps, she knows we've all been salivating for Ryder and Branna's story since book freaking one. How did they meet? How did they fall in love? And for love of all that's holy why the hell were they suddenly fighting so much?! All is answered minions. I mean it takes most of the book to get to the why, but that's because Lee takes us back to beginning...kinda...it's from their first meeting which we know occurs during Dominic's story. Holy skittles is it explosive! I felt the need to fan myself and deep breathe for a while there, I'm not gonna lie about that. From the very start there's an instant attraction and sparks are sizzling everywhere, it makes you swoon and think they're so perfect for each other. I loved seeing a different side to Branna, we get to see really come into herself and take charge. Woman power! *Fist pumps* I was in awe of her strength, her will to raise Bronagh after losing their parents, getting herself through University and becoming a midwife. It's simply inspiring minions. Ryder gives her back the family she lost, the Slater brothers are a loveable bunch and protect their family fiercely. I was in stitches reading their interactions, the jokes and constant banter was true Casey humour. Branna and Ryder just seemed to fit. But hearing Branna's inner monologue and seeing how much Ryder has changed is heart breaking, I wanted to kick him in the shin and a few other places if I'm honest. I think she was strong sticking by him for so long, but sometimes a girls gotta say enough is enough and fight for what she deserves.

I've always loved Ryder, and seeing him from the beginning with Branna made me love him even more. But when we're back in the present witnessing Branna's heartbreak, you turn on him pretty fast and think what in the hell are doing dude?! Are you completely blind? Did you lose all sense or some shit? I mean the brothers all have their rough edges, but when it comes to the women they love they always take care. Ryder seemed to throw all that out the window, and set himself up on the mission of pushing Branna as far away as possible. I know it made no sense to me either minions. I would have loved if Lee gave us his POV, it would have done wonders in understanding hos character better. Going back to how they used to be it all just seems so beautiful, and you feel like everything's perfect for them. Seeing him being a douche I just wanted her to leave him and find better. But I suppose Branna  sticking by him shows that you can't really help who fall in love with. Love is definitely something worth fighting for.

I feel the twist towards the end was much needed, as it picked the book up a little bit. I have to admit it was a little slow in places, I understood the past flashbacks because it helps the reader understand the characters better, but when we went back to the present I couldn't help but feel it was repetitive and going in circles. I wanted more action, more drama and more passion. It was lacking a little in those departments for me. But the twist gave that extra kick, and all you can think is 'Oh shit!' and hold onto your kindle with white knuckled hands anticipating the next thing. And then we finally reach they why, why Ryder changed, why he pushed her away and why everything went to hell. It explains a lot minions. Oh and then we get a classic Casey happily every after, true Slater style and I was a complete swoony mess on my bed. The ending was sweet, romantic and perfect for the characters. Pretty well deserved minions. So my rating is 4 fantabulous stars minions, but I would strongly recommend reading the books in order. It's much more invigorating, but you'll also understand everything better. Now I need to get my hands on Damien's story, the best is always saved until last *sighs*.

It's no secret I've been in love with Bear from day one. He's an outlaw, he's incredibly sexy...and he's a freaking biker! My favourite kind of book hero minions! After the way King ended, Bear's story was in desperate need of telling. Miss Frazier did a wonderful job of showing us there is more to the scary biker than meets the eye, it is the way she gave us little glimpses into his character that has us falling head over heels for him. But of course we can't forget about Thia minions. When her life takes a heartbreakingly drastic turn for the worse, she seeks out the one man who can help her, the man who left her with a ring and a promise. A promise she prays he can keep, because her life might just depend on it. She was just the type of heroine to fit him, and their introduction was so sweet it gave me tingles. She was sharp, witty and strong. Much stronger than any one should be at her age, and I think that's what makes the reader connect with her. We all remember being that age and realising the real world is looming outside, all dark and gloomy where hope is almost a fickle thing. It takes great strength to persevere and hold on, to face each hurdle with our heads held high and give the world a big FU. Thia does all this and so much more. Because It seems as if it's one thing after the other with her life, and you can't help but feel endeared towards her, and start hollering for hers and Bear's relationship. I mean it's no easy thing minions, and the constant battle between them and their own desires is what makes this novel such a page turner. The constant question of will they? Won't they? Lingers in our heads page after page. She's a desperate woman on the run seeking protection, and he's a lawless biker living by his own rules and wanted by the MC. However could they find a way to work?

Of course Miss Frazier couldn't give us our biker without his  best friend, our first love, the mighty ruthless King *sighs*. I have missed him people, and I loved how he was by Bear's side no matter what. And let us not forget the much missed Preppy *sniffles*, I loved how he was woven into the story and kept alive for not just Bear and King, but also for the reader because his character is truly one of a kind. Now Bear was everything we thought but also so much more, there wa sa new found depth to his character. He was the perfect man for Thia, because while they may have seemed opposites there was a lot they had in common, and not all of that was good. There were times between them that were painful, and heart breaking but there were also times when it was achingly beautiful and hot! His no care attitude and hard shell were infuriating at times, and it was a wonder how Thia could ever burrow herself into his mind let alone his heart. There was also an impending sense of doom, and suspense hovering in the air throughout the book, as Bear is very much a wanted man minions. The danger lurking around him, as well as in him is some seriously intense shizz. That all combined with his off the charts chemistry with Thia, is why this is yet another book by Miss Frazier has left me on the edge of my seat. I kept picturing the story taking one turn, only for it to take a completely diferent one. It keeps you guessing all the way to the end.

Now I'll be honest and say I knew the ending would be a cliffhanger, and that something bad would happen...but what we get is one heck of a curveball. I actually has to pause, and go back a page or two cause suely I'd read something incorrectly. Alas I read it right, and now my heart is beating in restless anticipation for the next installment in Thia and Bear's story. How long I'll last is anyone's guess, but I will be all over that bad boy like a monkey seeing banana's for the first time. Yet again Tracey has given us a beautiful, action packed, dangerous love story that's won my heart completely. Her writing style is utterly unique, and she's perfected the art if keeping her readers guessing. I know I couldn't bear (get it) to put it down, I mean I actually considered not going to work just so I could read all day. Minions this a story you will not want to miss as the year draws to a close, it has a feisty and brave heroine on the run along side an intoxicatingly lethal drop dead gorgeous biker on the MCs wanted list. What more could you possibly ask for?

It would seem the Reaper's MC series just keeps getting better and better minions. You know I have a serious MC Romance problem, and I can honestly say the Reaper's is my number one series. I'm talking could read it again and again kinda obsessed people, it would never get old and it would forever set the bar for all MC Romances. Now that's all cleared up, let's get to the review. I have been waiting for Reese's story for a while now, and hey I'll admit it okay...in this instance older men are totally my thing. I'm just putting that out there. I loved his character, he was the definition of raw, dirty and gritty. Joanna definitely holds nothing back, it's a little like a shock to the system with the realness behind it all, and yeah he is a little...uncouth shall we say...but that dirty mouth does things to my girly parts. So I'm totally okay with his kinda language. I will say he is one stubborn man, I mean the wait for him to claim London is torture but when it happens? There's fireworks, explosions and you get tingly all over....okay slight exaggeration but there were tingles minions I asssue you. Of course I loved London's character, she was quick witted, smart, strong and funny. I think she was a great match for Reese, as she really kept him on his toes and gave him back that something he lost a long time ago. Hope. While they certainly clash heads often, the sexual tension is always just simmering below the surface, and waiting for that boom to happen leaves you giddy with excitement. The only thing that annoyed me with London a little was her unwavering loyalty, and I think Reese plays a big part in her kinda stepping up and laying down the law. Yes kids do stupid shit, but hey they'll never learn if you always bail them out. Aside from that little blip, London was not only an admirable character but her relationship with Reese was entertaining as all get out.

Reese is everything we've heard of and more. The man knows how to drive a woman insane...with need, want and just unadulterated lust. All of this means I couldn't find it in my heart to focus on his douchebaginess, I confess I was blinded by my hormones okay. But I mean he wouldn't be the freaking president of the club if he was a saint, and really why would you even want to complain when he can make your panties disintergrate with just a few dirty words? Like seriously?! *Holds hands up* Now of course there's more to him than just that, I found that Joanna portrays Reese like an onion 'cause you have to peel back the layers, and there is a lot of them let me tell you. He's stong willed, brave, a straight talker, loyal and just awesome to be honest. Like I said his relationship with London is entertaining, but it's also raw and real which makes you crave a little of that. They don't have the best start, but as the book progresses we begin to see why they suit one another, and the drama that unfolds around them just adds to their chemistry. Finally getting inside his head we see the pressure he's constantly under, with his family and club who are always top priority. I think London was his gamechanger, because since he lost his wife he's held himself back in many ways, but London just has this way of drawing him out for all he's worth and makes him question things. That right there spells perferct romance minions. Joanna does a wonderful job of illustarting the beauty of two perfectly imperfect people clashing and falling in love, and I don't think there's more we could ask for from her because it's enough. I loved the dual POVs because you know I like getting inside characters heads, but more than that I find it just adds to the connection we develop with them.

Of course we are reunited with some of our favourite characters, which makes you feel all warm inside with the fuzzies. I adore the brotherhood between the club, and some of the members are funny as hell, so much so I would love to chill with them sometime. The drama that unfolds with London, is gripping and pretty scary but it has you sitting on the edge of your seat, breathless with anticipation and clutching your Kindle for dear life. All of these are the tell tale signs of a freaking awesome book. My rating is therefore 4.5 gritty stars! It's short half a star because I feel like London's actions were understandable, and hey fear makes you do stupid shit but she more than made up for it, yet was unfairly punished anyway. That bugs me a little, I gotta be honest with you. Aside from that I loved Joanna's writing style, and her ability to completely suck me into the Reaper's world. I look forward to the next book.
