Publisher's summary

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 stepbrother, 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 as 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....

Critic reviews

"Filled with rough language, no-holds-barred sex, the rumblings of a biker war, and threats from the past, this fast-paced novel entertains while setting up the next book in the series." ( Publishers Weekly)

REAPERS….YUM!

When you're in the world of the Reapers MC, you just have to sit back and relax and don't mind the raunchiness, vulgarity, roughness and constant stream of F-bombs that come your way. It's just part of this world….and, what a world it is! I was excited that this audiobook was finally released after I really enjoyed the first one. Some of the best parts about the book is entrance in the world of the Reapers MC with all of the gang such a Horse, Picnic, Painter….as well as Marie and the rest of the "old ladies" including sweet Em. It was great to get a kind of continuation of Horse and Marie's love story, and their wedding was awesome!!! Also, I just can't wait for Em and Liam's "Hunter's" story…seriously can't wait!!

This book centers on Rugar and his love interest, Sophie, who has a young son, Noah who is Rugar's nephew. Noah was so sweet. I really liked his part in this story. Yet, regarding his uncle Rugar, I was so curious as to how such an unyielding, tough, pull no punches, hardcore biker guy like Rugar was going to give up his freedom with women to finally settle down with "the one." Well, he definitely meets his match with Sophie. Sophie is beautiful, with her green eyes and auburn hair. And, she is equally fiery in temper, sharp mouth, and has a strong character just as Rugar. Well, ok, let's also add stubborn to that list…LOL So, with these two there is definitely a lot of power struggles in their relationship. But, ultimately, Rugar and Sophie find that fighting their love/lust for one another is a battle neither can win. Rugar and Sophie resolve their differences after many experiences that end up drawing them together. Of course, there is passionate sex, action, crazy MC parties, kidnapping, violent moments that all race the reader to the HEA.

I have to say this is not my favorite kind of romance because I appreciate more softness in the Hero/Heroine relationship and I didn't think it was as good as Horse and Marie's chemistry and love story, but it worked well in the end. I mean not all biker romances have a sweet and fluffy edge to them…..for Rugar and Sophie it was hardcore all the way around.

Narrators: I thought the dual narration between Tatiana Sokolov , Todd Haberkorn was good. ---Nothing absolutely spectacular, but overall good and enjoyable.

PLEASE AUDIBLE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE RELEASE THE 3RD BOOK IN THE SERIES…

Strong, Arrogant, Overbearing Man....

Sophie was Ruger's stepbrothers girlfriend and father of their child Noah. After delivering Noah, Ruger became the only stable male figure in his life. Sophie is a single mom who is struggling.

Sophie and Ruger have been attracted to each other for years. Things become uncomfortable after Sophie and Noah move in with Ruger. Will they stop fighting those feelings and become a real family?

I like strong male leads such as Ruger. He is a strong, arrogant, overbearing man whore. He had me wanting to choke him like a chicken at first but then he grew on me...lol I like it when a book character invokes that much emotion in me as a reader.

I was disappointed when the narration changed. This was a dual narration and was ok but would have preferred the narration in book 1.

Excellent Read!

What did you love best about Reaper's Legacy?

I loved seeing the story develop and deepen along with some good action in and out of the sack. Especially as book one was good but not great …. okay I am not sure but I think that book one, Reaper's Property, the main issues was the narrator. But Reaper's Legacy was totally Hot!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Reaper's Legacy?

The whole story!

Have you listened to any of Tatiana Sokolov and Todd Haberkorn ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I love Tatiana Sokolov as a narrator. This is the first time I have listened to Todd Haberkorn and I think he did great, no complaints from me. Still the book would have been just as good had Tatiana been the only narrator.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Was a great book overall…with some action, drama and romance. I enjoy a series that builds and lets you get to know their world more and more all the while zeroing on specific couples as secondary characters are involved and leading toward future books.

Any additional comments?

If you haven't noticed by now I was really glad this book was narrated by Tatiana because as I listened to the first book the narrator really started to bothered me…her voice did not suite the setting of the book and at times the character voices seemed girly which totally does not get across Big Bad - Totally Hot Biker Dude or Dudes. I actually hesitated getting this book till I saw it was narrated by Tatiana. I was a bit nervous about the second narrator Todd as this it the first time for having listened to a book narrated by two people and I knew nothing about him but I am totally glad I did. I hope Tatiana narrates all future Reaper's MC books!

I liked the story alot....

I love the issues tackled in it... but the voice for the Male MC.... I didnt like too much... otherwise, Dude waa tpugh and on point and probably the beat biker dad anyone would want... even before the 3rd chapter. He's just that dude lol. And Horse is still funny lol... best friend ever. The Female MC... was a strong woman... dealing with rough and bad things on top of having a child to take care of... but sometimes.... that woman made me want to pull a best friend move.... and get in her face and tell her off... then have a glass of wine ready afterwards lol.

Ruger is a sexy name!

Would you listen to Reaper's Legacy again? Why?

No probably not. I don't see a reason to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ruger forsure. Seriously his name is Ruger!! so nice

Which scene was your favorite?

I love that he marked her!!! And all the angst prior to them letting go.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes I'm sure I laughed but that is not the reaction that I remember most about this book... Have I mentioned his name is RUGER!!! swoon

Awesome! !

This was awesome and I loved it. Definitely liked having both voices reading. Will be getting more.

Great book

Went right from the first book to this one and it did not disappoint. I did not see the twist at the end and it totally made the book. I could not hit stop, but had to keep listening all day to hear the ending. Great narration as well!

Great book, terrible narrator

Love this book. One of my all time favorites. Hated the Male actors voice. Just terrible. Definitely NOT Ruger... wish I could return. He totally ruined the audio book for me.

Dual narration

I love this series. Hearing it on audio is great and I love the dual narration

Ruger's Story

I have loved all the Reaper's MC books and this is no exception. Tatiana Sokolov and Todd Haberkorn do a great job with the narration. If you like MC books, this is a great one.
