The past may come back and haunt you but Ricco refuses to
let it hurt his family or the new woman in his life. Ricco
Ferraro is the SHADOW REAPER, it is all he can be, but he
is known to be reckless. His family doesn't know what
happened to him when he was a young teen sent to train in
Japan. Lies became truths and only a few know this. He
knows that past would come back to bite him but he never
expected to find his mate ... as the one sent to kill him.
One with a past that linked to his, a past she doesn't even
remember.
Mariko's life has not been easy, she believes she is the
unwanted daughter who is unworthy of her heritage, but for
her little brother she will do anything. When a note is
sent to her that Ricco Ferraro must be taken out, then this
shadow rider, does her research and finds no reason for
such action. Except that the note writer has her brother as
a hostage. When Mariko comes face to face with Ricco, they
both must face facts. Her shadows are drawn to him and she
is his perfect woman. A woman who is willing to indulge in
one of his hobbies, the art of Shibari, a Japanese art form
using ropes, bindings and the human body.
SHADOW REAPER is the riveting second book in the Shadow
Rider series by author Christine Feehan. Ricco might seem
like the wild child
seem
like the wild child, risk taker but in all honesty he is
the one who would sacrifice anything, including his life
for his family. That came out in this book and added to the
mystic of the Ferraro family. A number of things happen in
this book that will have you in awe of Ms. Feehan's
imagination and ability to make you feel for her
characters, even ones you don't particularly care for. I
enjoy the closeness of this family members, aunts, uncles,
cousins are just as important as siblings, but it is the
whole community that they protect that is also just as
important to them. That closeness comes in very handy for
Mariko when a few home truths and a shattering discovery
almost bring her to her knees.
Just as a bit of warning there is quite a bit of Shibari in
this book in fact, it is how our couple met. I have to
admit I had to look it up to see why it is considered an
art form. I guess I can see the intrigue, though some might
feel it is just another name for bondage, it did seem to be
a unique way for Ricco and Mariko to communicate.
If you are looking for a protector with a wild side, a
woman who knows how to fight and how to love, a family of
many that will have your back, action, steamy wild moments
and sweet romance, you will find it all rolled into one
amazing story in SHADOW REAPER.
