4.7 out of 5 stars 30 ratings

From award-winning author E.M. Shue comes a forced proximity MC romance with a twist of fate.

Reaper’s life is made up of lies, his identity fake. For twelve years, Klay Ulrich has been deep undercover masquerading as the road captain for the Drago Defiance MC. His assignment is to bring down human traffickers running in motorcycle clubs. But when his eyes land on the beautiful wallflower from the Devil’s Handmaidens, something in him shifts. For the first time in a long time, he wants someone to know the real him. Reaper’s new mission is to make the quiet artist his while carrying on with his directive.

River “Jinx” Schmidt lives her life behind the scenes, quietly creating her art. Racing is the only thing that gets her out of the shadows and gets her blood pumping. When her club asks her to meet with the road captain from Drago Defiance MC to go over the upcoming racing season, she doesn’t expect the intense connection. Reaper is big, dominating, and in complete control of every beat of her heart and the breath from her body. Jinx is suddenly finding racing isn’t the only thing she craves.

When Reaper and Jinx find themselves stuck in a small town, locked down for twenty-four hours, Reaper will seize his chance and put everything on the line. But when they return to their normal lives, Jinx will have to deceive her club and best friend in order to protect Reaper’s secrets and him.

Caught up in the mystique of Pandora, Kentucky, where luck and fate are intertwined, Reaper and Jinx will learn good fortune depends on the choices they make. Whether they triumph over or succumb to a fabled 100-year-old curse is up to them.

She helps her bestfriend Scout in her shop. She is a sought after automotive painter and is part of the Devil's Handmaidens.

    Such a good beginning to Reaper and his woman’s story. There is evil all around their clubs and in his work life. Can they get out of trouble and survive without heartache….cannot wait to read Rattled to find out.

    4 1/2 stars. Jinx and Reaper crashed together. There was plenty of action, steamy scenes, secrets, and danger to push them apart and together. Reaper was undercover, but he grew to enjoy the MC life and family. He knew that Jinx and the Handmaiden's were working to stop trafficking, but there were threats from outside places. Their quick stop in Pandora went very wrong, but they were able to survive, though they ended up apart because of the threats toward Jinx. I will be reading Rattled to see how it all turns out.

    This is my unsolicited review.

    What a page turner! A must read! Right from the beginning River “Jinx” proved to be one strong and independent woman. She’s an artist and races. Klay “Reaper” is on an undercover mission. When he first lays eyes on River, he knew he wanted her. When they meet, Reaper really felt something for River, and maybe he could have a real connection with her. Their connection starts to heat up when they are on lockdown for 24 hours. The sparks start flying. Reaper vows to protect River from Snake and Crazy. Reaper and River do something so unexpected to keep River safe. Wait til you find out! Will they be able to come out of lock down unscathed? What will happen to these two in the end? Will they stay married? The end definitely shocked me and I’m sure it will shock you also!

    What a great start to River and Reaper’s story. This quick read is basically a prequel to their story. A story involving an undercover ATF agent, Reaper, the Alaska Chapter of the Devil’s Handmaidens road captain and a 100 year old curse that seems to be intertwined in their lives.

    I don’t do spoilers so I can’t give much away. I'll simply say this is a heck of a thrilling start to their story and this reader can’t wait for its conclusion. I highly recommend grabbing up this short story and enjoying it while waiting on Rattled, the conclusion of their story coming in a few short weeks.

    This is a page turner that just takes off running from page one. I was engrossed with the storyline and how everything progressed. I also liked that instant connection between the main characters. I also liked that the situation they were put into started out as a forced proximity kind of thing but ended up turning into something more. Secrets, truth, action, chemistry, intrigue, and more. I cannot wait to find out what's coming next or how this is going to all end up. I just couldn't get enough of this book and wanted more.

    This book is related to the Devil’s Handmaiden MC: Alaska Chapter series. Reaper lives his life on a delicate balance. He is deep undercover in the Drago Defiance MC. He likes his life that is until he sees her. River/Jinx lives for the sisters in her club especially her best friend. Then she gets mixed up with something going side ways related to racing for the club. He can’t help himself. He needs to protect her. He will do whatever it takes to do that. They find themselves locked down in a small town. River found some gem on the ground and the whole town says it is a cursed item. Reaper doesn’t believe it but as the weekend progresses maybe they are cursed now. River can’t believe the situation she finds herself in. Reaper bonded himself to River when he saw the chance to keep her forever. She thinks he only did it to protect her and then he disappears. River is free now. She had no clue one weekend would change her whole life. What does she do now? River wants to protect Reaper even if she doesn’t know where he is or if he will ever come back for her. This book was a fantastic read. I can’t wait to read the next book. This book can be read before or after Wrecked. But I think before might be better. Wonderful job E.M. Shue. These characters are fantastic and I eager for the stories.
