Book Review – Reapers and Bastards by Joanna Wylde

11/12/2015

Reapers & Bastards

Reapers & Bastards: An Anthology by Joanna Wylde

4 stories in the Reapers world. Can stand alone. Erotic MC

Joanna Wylde’s MC Series, Reapers, and the spin-off Silver Bastards, is one of my favorite series. Reapers and Bastards is a collection of short stories (one is a bit longer) and some cute recipes and tips. This can be read whether you read the series or not, but if you have, you’ll love it more. If you haven’t, it’s a great way to get a little taste of the series, there are no spoilers.

♄

Charming Bastard: A Novella
(Originally only available in the paperback edition of Silver Bastard.)

Darcy and Boonie (prez & old lady of Silver Bastards?) met when they were just little kids. The connection was there starting at five years old, and goes through their lives, including the mine fire that took so many lives in Callup and caused Boonie to move away. Upon his return, Darcy has somebody else, and I loved seeing them work their way back to each other.

QUOTE MARKRiley Boone was nothing but trouble.ā€

They were meant to be together but life kept ripping them apart.

QUOTE MARKEither grab it right or move your fuckin’ hand,’’ he growled. ā€œBecause I’m about five seconds away from bending you over this table.ā€

This was the longest story in the book, and could have easily been a full length novel, especially because it just felt like a very abrupt ending. I still loved it though, just wish there was more!

♄

Sticky Sweet: A Short Story
(Originally available on the author’s website.)

This is Horse and Marie’s first meeting told from Horse’s POV.

QUOTE MARKHoly shit— she bit me. A trickle of warm fluid ran down my neck. Blood. I couldn’t help it, I burst out laughing because she was tiny and angry and hissing at me like a wet cat on top of the table. I wanted to fuck her more now than I had five minutes ago.”

I strangely remember this scene really well (I can’t usually remember these details), so re-reading it from Horse’s POV was a lot of fun.

♄

NEW Skunked: A Short StoryĀ 

This was a really cute story with Horse and Marie’s dog getting skunked from Horse’s POV. Even amidst all that, plus some very special news, Horse was still perving on Marie (typical man).

QUOTE MARKYou’re thinking about my boobs again, aren’t you?ā€ she asked.Ā 
I looked up at her, busted. ā€œNo.ā€Ā 
She raised a brow, and I shrugged because of course I was thinking about her boobs, and we both knew it.”

♄

NEW Sugar and Spice: A Short StoryĀ 

This is a prequel to Reaper’s Fall and is about Painter and Melanie first meeting. He drives her home from the hospital (her first motorcycle ride) after she blew up her friend Jessica’s apartment. Her best friend is London, who is with ā€œPicnicā€ (Their story was in Reaper’s Stand).

QUOTE MARKOhmygodhe’ssohotandhe’slookingrightatme!….
ā€œNo, it’s okay,ā€ I said quickly, hoping Mr. Hot Bod wouldn’t change his mind about giving me a ride. ā€œI’ll try riding the bike.ā€
I’ll try riding you, sexy . . .

This was a quick intro, now I can’t wait to go right into Reaper’s Fall!

Likes:

  • 4 well written stories that had me smiling the whole time.
  • Seeing things from Horse’s POV.
  • Felt like it was all a little gift.
  • Getting a little more insight into the characters.

Dislikes:

  • Charming Bastard ended a little abruptly, I wanted more!

Overall Rating 4.5 Stars, 3.5 Heat

stars_4half

Flame_THREEhalf copy
The Down and Dirty:

Reaper’s and Bastards is like a gift to all Joanna Wylde Fans, but can also be a great intro to the Reaper’s Series as there are no spoilers for other books. I really enjoyed these snippets, and think the first story, Charming Bastard could have made a great stand-alone. I can’t wait to jump right into Reaper’s Fall now!

I liked Maybe Once Maybe Twice. I liked the music, I liked Maybe Once Maybe Twice. I liked the music, the stories, and the characters for the most part, and I loved the camp stuff. But the pacing was off for me and there were a lot of timeline changes that I lost track of a few times. I think this one may have been better reading over audio. This book contains triggers, read the warnings!

I’m in charge of stuffing, sweet potato casserole and carrot soufflĆ©. One of my boys is home for Thanksgiving, the other is playing a show in Louisville and Cleveland this weekend, but at least he will be home for Christmas week!  How do you spend the day before Thanksgiving? I’m so glad I’m not traveling.

I know everyone in the world has posted reviews, b I know everyone in the world has posted reviews, but I just realized I never shared mine here. You can see my more detailed review on the blog. 

Iron Flame felt like a 5-star read when I finished. But if I compare it to Fourth Wing or just sit down and look at my notes I realize that I had a lot of negative notes when I had none in the first book. It suffered from a bit of a sophmore slump, especially in the beginning, then too much happened that didn’t all really advance the story. It was like each chapter or two had a new challenge to deal with —like it’s written for episodic TV (which will be happening on Amazon). I still absolutely loved it but I will definitely need to reread this before the next one because I feel like I missed some stuff and some stuff didn’t make 100% sense to me. There were a lot of new characters who I don’t care about adding to my confusion. I loved Iron Flame, but not as much as Fourth Wing which was a much simpler book about a military college—Iron Flame was about the war. Still, I absolutely can’t wait to see what she does with book 3!

What You Do To Me by @rochellebweinstein is a comp What You Do To Me by @rochellebweinstein is a complex and completely unique story that had me riveted the entire time. I especially loved the story of the young Argentinian singer and the sheltered Jewish girl in the 1970’s and the sluething of the Rolling Stone reporter to find the muse to the famous song. If you enjoy music-based romances, this one will be right up your alley.

Roan, Aspen and Cady may be my favorites of the Lo Roan, Aspen and Cady may be my favorites of the Lost and Found series. I love kids in romance novels and this romance was everything I love. The only thing that held me back from 5 stars was that I guessed the bad guy. After reading so many of her amazing books, they are starting to be a bit similar, but that could be the case with all small-town romantic suspense books. Catherine is one of my very top favorites and I can’t wait for the next in the series. I’m hoping I’m surprised this time! PS: the narration by Maxine Mitchell and Zachary Webber made it even better.

If you loved Kristen Ashley’s Ghosts & Reincarna If you loved Kristen Ashley’s Ghosts & Reincarnation series, you will love Too Good To Be True. It wasn’t my favorite because I’m just not into the old historical estates in England and so much was about the house itself. Part historical and part present-time, I liked the couple, but this just wasn’t really for me compared to all the other KA books I’ve loved.

How do you organize your bookshelves? By color? Al How do you organize your bookshelves? By color? Alphabetically? By genre? Do you read the books on your shelf?

Mine are done by author and genre. My favorite authors or ones that I have more than 6 books from have their own shelf or shelf space. The rest are done by genre. 95% of my books are signed, and I do not read them! I read the ebook or audiobook. 

What about you?
