Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 alpha biker stars<\/b><\/p>\n

Book 6 in the Reapers MC<\/i> series, this is a great read! Gage and Tinker\u2019s story was hinted at in the last book of the series, and I\u2019ve been desperate to get my hands on this book ever since. Intense and gritty, dramatic and angsty with sensational UST, passionate, sexy romance, emotion and lots of fun, I really enjoyed this one.<\/p>\n

Gage is a member of the Reaper\u2019s MC. He is away from his town and his club, working undercover as a man named Cooper to infiltrate and investigate a club that is not playing by the Reaper\u2019s rules. He rents an apartment at a local boarding house, and that\u2019s how he meets Tinker Garret.<\/p>\n

Tinker has moved back to her small home town after a devastating loss. She\u2019s in the middle of a divorce and is caring for her ailing father while running the family inn and her own catering business. She\u2019s in desperate need of a handyman, and when Cooper waltzes into her store all sweaty and gorgeous, she offers him the job.<\/p>\n

From the first moment they meet there is lust in the air. Their attraction literally sizzles of the pages, and while Tinker is more than happy to go there, Gage\u2019s undercover persona has him tied up with another girl \u2013 a nasty piece of work with links to the club he\u2019s investigating, but as his only \u2018in\u2019 with the club, he needs to maintain his \u2018relationship\u2019 with her. But he wants Tinker in a way he\u2019s never wanted any woman before. He\u2019s a manwhore, and will do anything for his club, but for the first time in his life, he is feeling more<\/i> for a woman, and his loyalty to his Club is keeping him from the one thing he truly wants.<\/p>\n

Any other time, any other place, she\u2019d be under me already, but I knew my job.
\nReapers forever, forever Reapers.
\nSometimes loyalty sucks.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tinker feels the same, and spends her free time (not so) secretly watching her super-hot tenant, and wishing that things could be different. It\u2019s a messed up situation, but it makes for some sensational sexual tension, and OMG, I could feel every sizzling moment of it!<\/p>\n

She wanted me as much as I wanted her. And yeah, I realize that makes me sound like an egotistical ass, but this wasn\u2019t my first rodeo. I saw the lust in her eyes, and the way she licked her lips and stared at my mouth. This wasn\u2019t a one-way street, not even close.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a fantastic build up for them, and while they\u2019re trying their best to keep their sexual\/romantic distance, they get to know each other, which gets real feelings involved. But how long can Gage\/Cooper manage his dual life, how will Tinker cope when his secret is finally revealed, and will he even care?<\/p>\n

\u201cWho are you?\u201d I asked, the hard pressure between my legs sending waves of need and desire through me. But I wasn\u2019t some little girl to be manipulated by lust.
\n\u201cTold you \u2013 my name is Gage. I\u2019m with the Reaper\u2019s motorcycle club, and I\u2019ll be the man fucking you from now on.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lol! Yes, Gage is a total alpha. He wants his woman, and as soon as he has his opportunity he\u2019s not going to let anybody or anything stand in his way. It\u2019s very caveman, but it\u2019s totally freaking hot.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot\u2019s gone down, but right now the critical information is that you belong to me,\u201d I told her, my voice rough. \u201cYou\u2019re my property. You don\u2019t understand what that means, and that\u2019s okay. I\u2019ll teach you. But when you look back at this moment, I want you to remember there was a before I claimed you and an after. Now it\u2019s after. You got me?\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But as awesome as Gage is, Tinker is just as amazing. It always surprises me when I love a heroine as much as I do a hero in a book, and Tinker totally took me by surprise. She\u2019s a strong, sassy, smart and funny woman and I have a total girl-crush on her.<\/p>\n

The book is written in dual POV, and I love that we knew where they were both at with what is developing between them, and I love both of their voices. Both strong and stubborn, Gage and Tinker\u2019s road to a HEA is not an easy one, with the perils of life in an MC and Gage\u2019s commitment to his club only part of what they need to deal with. And though they have their ups and downs, they don\u2019t hide what they\u2019re feeling and their clashes are passionate, intense and hilariously honest.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not like we\u2019re a couple.\u201d
\n\u201cMy dick was inside you three hours ago,\u201d he replied, eyes narrowing. \u201cI don\u2019t know what that makes us, but it\u2019s fair to say we\u2019ve moved past landlord and tenant.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With Gage\u2019s mission a big part of the story, there\u2019s a lot going on with the Club. I really enjoyed this part of the book, and it\u2019s tied in really well with everything that is developing between Gage and Tinker, as well as what is going on in her life \u2013 she\u2019s been through a lot, and I though her story was a great balance to everything else happening in the book, with lots of emotion and laugh out loud moments with her hilarious girlfriends. The story is fast paced with some great twists and turns, and it kept me interested the whole way through.<\/p>\n

The rest of the Reapers make an appearance, and I loved catching up with them. I especially loved the friendship between Gage and his Prez, and though Picnic was fantastic!<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve been watching Sons of Anarchy, haven\u2019t you?\u201d Pic asked, sighing heavily. Cody swallowed, then nodded. \u201cFucking show. Whole damned world thinks they\u2019re Jax Teller.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I loved this book! It\u2019s a great mix of gritty MC drama, sexy, passionate romance, laugh-out-loud moments and lots of emotion. I would have like a little<\/i> bit more romance, but what was there totally suited the characters. For me, this one was a total winner.<\/p>\n

4 stars.<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe how late it is,\u201d Tinker said, yawning, and I realized the movie had ended. Now she stretched upward, the blanket falling to her waist as her boobs pushed forward.<\/p>\n

God, how much should a man be expected to take?<\/p>\n

I should\u2019ve stayed away from her completely\u2014that\u2019d been the plan\u2014but something had snapped when I\u2019d seen her out in the courtyard. Couldn\u2019t remember the last time I\u2019d met a woman like Tinker. She was smart and sexy and funny, and she worked damned hard to take care of her family and business. Sure, I wanted to fuck her\u2014you\u2019d have to be gay not to\u2014but I respected her, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI should probably get going,\u201d she said, offering me a smile so sweet I wanted to bite her lips. \u201cI like to check on Dad before going to sleep, and I\u2019ve got to be up early in the morning. I\u2019ve got to package orders for the courier tomorrow\u2014if they aren\u2019t ready by two p.m., I\u2019m screwed.\u201d<\/p>\n

I considered rolling over on top of her. Pushing her down into the couch cushions, shoving my leg between hers, and showing her what a real man feels like.<\/p>\n

\u201cCooper?\u201d she asked, looking confused. I blinked a couple times, forcing myself to focus on her face.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to watch another one,\u201d I told her, because I\u2019m a goddamn masochist. \u201cYou sure you\u2019re ready to head out?\u201d<\/p>\n

She frowned, and I could almost read her thoughts. Yes, she should leave. But she wanted me as much as I wanted her. And yeah, I realize that makes me sound like an egotistical ass, but this wasn\u2019t my first rodeo. I saw the lust in her eyes, and the way she licked her lips and stared at my mouth. This wasn\u2019t a one-way street, not even close.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess I could stay a little longer,\u201d she whispered. Christ, she was so sweet and soft. I wanted to bite her even more now. Suck that pouty lower lip into my mouth and shove a finger up her ass.<\/p>\n

Break her.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re one sick fuck.<\/i><\/p>\n

Why yes. Yes, I am.<\/i> Thanks for noticing.<\/i><\/p>\n

I managed to control the urge, catching her hand instead, giving it a friendly squeeze like some kind of pathetic tool. Her fingers tightened on mine, then she pulled away and snuggled back down under the blanket, raising her feet to rest on the coffee table. I grabbed the remote and clicked through the menu.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I\u2019d do my job. I\u2019d fuck Talia and spy on Marsh and look for any kind of weakness that might end this situation, the faster the better. Tonight, though\u202f.\u202f.\u202f. Tonight I\u2019d pretend this wasn\u2019t a waste of time.<\/p>\n

Goddamn, but my dick hurt.<\/p>\n

The next hour was torture.<\/p>\n

Tinker sat next to me, all cute and classy and absolutely refusing to make any kind of eye contact. I don\u2019t know how she felt, but to me the sexual tension hanging in the air was thick and heavy. I kept thinking about her hand in mine\u2014small, but strong. The hand of someone who knew how to work hard. So far as I knew, Talia had never held down a job, let alone supported herself.<\/p>\n

The couch shifted, and I glanced over to find Tinker sliding deeper into the cushions, drawing the blanket up to her chin. Our legs were maybe six inches apart. She shifted again, and then her hand bumped mine under the blanket. She jerked it back quickly, and I caught the hint of a flush on her cheeks. That was another thing I liked about her\u2014her skin was so pale that I could see every hint of arousal.<\/p>\n

Grabbing her hand, I pulled it over to rest on my thigh. This was a really bad idea, so I pointedly refused to think it through. Her hand tensed at first, then relaxed into my strength. My cock swelled against the fabric of my jeans, just inches from her fingers\u2014it\u2019d be so easy to push her hand toward it, wrap it around my painfully swollen dick, and just go to town.<\/p>\n

Tinker\u2019s fingers gave a quick squeeze\u2014almost more of a spasm\u2014and I bit back a groan.<\/p>\n

Yeah, okay. Really, really<\/i> bad idea. I should get off the couch and shut this shit down right now, because I couldn\u2019t afford to blow things with Talia just yet. Instead I found myself leaning toward Tinker, bumping shoulders.<\/p>\n

God.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d grown a pussy. No other explanation, because I couldn\u2019t figure out why the hell else an adult man would sit holding hands under a damned blanket like a kid.<\/p>\n
