Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling author of Reaper’s Stand is back in her “uber-alpha rough world of MCs”* as one woman’s future is rocked by the man whose hardcore past could destroy her…
He never meant to hurt her.
Levi “Painter” Brooks was nothing before he joined the Reapers motorcycle club. The day he patched in, they became his brothers and his life. All they asked in return was a strong arm and unconditional loyalty—a loyalty that’s tested when he’s caught and sentenced to prison for a crime committed on their behalf.
Melanie Tucker may have had a rough start, but along the way she’s learned to fight for her future. She’s escaped from hell and started a new life, yet every night she dreams of a biker whose touch she can’t forget. It all started out so innocently—just a series of letters to a lonely man in prison. Friendly. Harmless. Safe.
Now Painter Brooks is coming home… and Melanie’s about to learn that there’s no room for innocence in the Reapers MC.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wylde's fifth Idaho-set Reapers Motorcycle Club contemporary (after Reaper's Stand) starts out strong but runs out of gas just shy of the end. Melanie Tucker was just a teen when handsome biker Painter went to jail. Her letters to him started just as a way to say thank you for loaning her his car, but they eventually turned into a lifeline for both of them. Once he's released, they find their way to each other, despite everyone warning each of them away. The sparks predictably fly, but sometimes simple sparks are never enough. The world of the club is well developed and lovingly described, but some of the effort expended there might have been better used on characterization and a less stereotypical ending. There are several nice twists to keep things interesting, but Melanie and Painter both come across as somewhat flat. Fortunately, the supporting cast is wonderfully larger than life.

Reaper's fall
~* copy provided by publisher via Netgalley for my honest review *~
I've loved this whole series & from the first moment I opened the first page from book 1, I liked each character in different ways and I was looking forward to Painters book we got to meet him before when he had this thing with Em the MC president's daughter and to finally get stuck in to his story I was like a child opening an early Christmas present :) I give this book a Colourful 5 Stars.
I was in two minds with painter at first I didn't know if he could ever love or be a sole loner for the rest of his life, but as I flowed through this book you start to get a better understanding of his character he's has his struggles with a rough childhood, But he never let that define him.
Because he doesn't feel he's worthy he won't let himself feel and open up never stays with the same woman it's easy to have your pick and be able to walk away no emotions spared, But then me meets Melanie that's a battle he needs to fight but as he don't want to lose her he would rather hide his feeling and keep there friendship.
This book starts in the present then we are taken into the past a great time laps story brilliantly told.
Levi "Painter" Brooks only spends one night with Melanie and knows she's to good for him, he's a ManWhore and owns it and when he goes to prison that's when there Friendship really takes root and he's battling with his feeling but as they write to each other for that time and Feeling are exposed.
Once Painter’s out, Melanie feels they can get closer now but he's pulling away not letting himself open and explore it for what it is. Once he does open his sole, for awhile things go good they have a daughter then they split.
He returning to the world of a ManWhore, he gave Melanie one rule and that was to stay away from him and bikers "No—Bikers!" That's all he asked then when she shows up at the MC with a punk biker wannabe that's when they are thrown back together.
Fantastic journey and Taz just cracked me up.
It was a great book and a fantastic Addition to the series.
It had me laughing and annoyed at times but you get to understand painter and by the end of this book I respected him more.
