Beverly's review 

5 Presidential Stars

We met Picnic in Reaper’s Property and my first thought was this badass MC Prez will totally kill your ass…four books later and I still think Pic is a badass MC Prez, but he is also so much more. 

Picnic is strong, determined, loving, self sacrificing, generous, and protective. Since his wife’s passing six years ago it has just been him and his girls. Now that both are grown and moved on he is alone. Regardless, Picnic isn’t in the market for an Old Lady, he had the perfect Old Lady in Heather. However, there is one thing Picnic wants….London Armstrong.

At thirty-eight London is raising her cousin’s child Jessica, managing a cleaning business, and just trying to survive. She doesn’t have time for fun and games, and while she is attracted to Picnic she knows that is all it will be fun. 

Everything changes when Jessica gets herself involved in the club and London has to enlist Picnic to help her. As London quickly learns nothing is free and Picnic finally has his "in" with her.


While writing this review I was trying to put the books in order from my favorite to least favorite, because lets face it I have loved them all. I honestly don’t know where I would put this one. I will say I loved, loved, loved Picnic’s story. I loved his heart, humor, and damn he is so sexy. London was an awesome heroine, she was loving but strong, and didn’t take shit from anyone. 

I was also very pleased this story had the grit I think MC books should have while not being over the top. 

Overall, Ms. Wylde hit this one out of the park and I cannot wait for the next installment!

Wendy's review 

4.5 Lovin' the Reaper's Series Stars * * * * 1/2

As you can see below, when I read this I was so excited to have a story built around people who were older than 30....

"Did someone say Reaper's Stand... Did someone say Picnic's Story...and did someone say the love story is about GROWN ASS PEOPLE????"... 

Yes, I could not contain myself. Reading NA or contemporary romance is fine... but once in a while it would be great to have characters older... characters who have experienced life to the point where the "big picture" has come into focus more...where they have figured out what is really important and what is just bullshit.

London and Picnic are there.... both have had challenges with children, family, deep loss and business. Both are human, want to connect... and decide to act on it. 

Now understand, this is a MC club.... so the hearts and flowers and tender words.... ah, not so much... But trust me... this is Damn Good...

I am loving this series and I think the writing is getting stronger with each book.
