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?
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!

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.

Excerpt
“Sit your ass down,” he said, his brilliant blue eyes flashing. The absolute authority and will in his tone was indisputable, reminding me that this was a very dangerous man.
I sat.
Hayes rose to his feet, coming to stand in front of me. Then he leaned down and rested his hands on the back of the couch on either side of my head. His gaze pinned me, and my adrenaline surged. What the hell was he planning to do?
“You do realize where you are?” he asked softly, which was way scarier than it would’ve been if he’d yelled at me. Quiet menace, carrying visions of bodies buried in shallow graves . . .
“You’re in my club. Outside this room are twenty men who will do anything to back me up. Anything. And outsidethis building are forests and mountains that reach all the way to Montana. Only witnesses out there are deer and maybe a moose or two. You sure you wanna piss me off? I just pulled my dick out of a willing woman’s mouth for you, so it’s not like I’m in a good mood to start with.”
I couldn’t breathe. My heart beat so fast that I thought it might explode out of my chest, and I knew for a fact that pissing him off was definitely the last thing I wanted to do. “Now ask me nicely to help you,” he said, the words slow and deliberate. I nodded, taking a minute to steel myself.
“Mr. Hayes, will you please help me find my cousin, Jessica?”
“No.”
