Fresh Fiction Review

Devil's Game

Romance

Emmy Lou Hayes is a good girl, more by obligation than by choice: she is the daughter of the President of the Reapers Motorcycle Club, Reese "Picnic" Hayes, and he watches over her like a hawk. Em, twenty-two, has no boyfriend, and her father doesn't make things easy. She'd had her eye on a member, Painter, but it appears he's not interested. Hunter is a member of the Devil's Jacks; he came about the MC by accident: eight years prior to the events of the book, his foster father was about to rape his younger foster sister, a neighbour helped him; the good samaritan was a member of the Devil's Jacks: Burke, and he's been like a father to Hunter since then. The Jacks have been at war off and on with the Reapers for twenty years; there had been a truce for a while until a recent incident caused the hostilities to reopen. Burke needs leverage against the Reapers, and sees an opportunity: what better leverage than Picnic's daughter; Hunter has seen Em, and he wants her. Em would really like to have a life of her own, a boyfriend, sex, so she turns to the internet, where her father can't interfere. She gets acquainted with a good-looking, nice young man named Liam. They had been chatting and talking on the phone for a few weeks, and they decide to meet in person. Sparks definitely fly, but there is just one problem: Liam and Hunter are one and the same. DEVIL'S GAME is the second book in the Reapers Motorcycle Club series. When I read the previous one, I had my misgivings: would I care for people who inhabit a world so different from mine? Absolutely! I was very much looking forward to DEVIL'S GAME, and it lives up to my very high expectations, and then some. It's not pretty: it's gritty, intense, crude, rough, sometimes violent; Joanna Wylde does not sugarcoat the MC world's reality. I had wondered if my liking the previous book had been a fluke, if it had been the novelty of the MC world; definitely not! It's a gripping story, the characters are fascinating, and what an ending! In my opinion, DEVIL'S GAME even surpasses Reaper's Legacy. Ms. Wylde is an exceptional storyteller, and I cannot wait for the next book!

SUMMARY

Liam “Hunter” Blake hates the Reapers MC. Born and raised a Devil’s Jack, he knows his duty. He’ll defend his club from their oldest enemies—the Reapers—using whatever weapons he can find. But why use force when the Reapers’ president has a daughter who’s alone and vulnerable? Hunter has wanted her from the minute he saw her, and now he has an excuse to take her. Em has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Reapers. Her overprotective father, Picnic, is the club’s president. The last time she had a boyfriend, Picnic shot him. Now the men in her life are far more interested in keeping her daddy happy than showing her a good time. Then she meets a handsome stranger—a man who isn't afraid to treat her like a real woman. One who isn't afraid of her father. His name is Liam, and he’s The One. Or so she thinks.
