Reaper’s Legacy (Reapers MC #2) by Joanna Wylde: The best part of Sophie’s relationship with Zach Barrett was the conception of their son, Noah. That was eight years ago – the night she lost her virginity on his step-brother’s couch. Since Zach is no longer in their lives Sophie, has been struggling to raise her son as a single mother. When a desperate decision puts Noah at risk Ruger gives Sophie no choice, they are moving home to Coeur d’Alene with him.
“Decision’s made,” Ruger replied. “And he may not be my son, but he’s definitely my kid. I claimed him the minute he was born, and you damned will know it’s true.”
The author tossed in intense-emotional moments like this one to offsets the darker-side of Ruger’s personality; making him seem more emotive. I was very impressed with the realistic expression of lust, passion and brotherhood.
The story pace and dialogue were beautifully crafted, making this an amazingly captivating read…had I not been SO disappointed with the ending and the lack of satisfaction surrounding a pivotal storyline this would have been a 5 star.

Eight years ago, Sophie gave her heart—and her virginity—to Zach Barrett on a night that couldn’t have been less romantic or more embarrassing. Zach’s step-brother, a steely-muscled, tattooed biker named Ruger, caught them in the act, getting a peep show of Sophie he’s never forgotten.
She may have lost her dignity that fateful night, but Sophie also gained something precious—her son Noah. Unfortunately, Zach’s a deadbeat dad, leaving Ruger to be Noah’s only male role model. When he discovers Sophie and his nephew living in near poverty, Ruger takes matters into his own hands—with the help of the Reapers Motorcycle Club—to give them a better life.
Living with outlaw bikers wasn’t Sophie’s plan for her son, but Ruger isn’t giving her a choice. He’ll be there for Noah, whether she wants him or not. But Sophie does want him, has always wanted him. Now she’ll learn that taking a biker to bed can get a girl dirty in every way.
