Publisher's summary

You crossed me. You kept this secret from me. Now you'll have to pay. (Griffin F**kin Latham).

Red: Five years ago, I was as boring as boring could be. Seriously, my name is Bernice. But then came that one month when I pretended to be somebody else entirely while working at a roadhouse biker bar. Big mistake. Huge. Who knew one month pretending to be an interesting bad girl could ruin a boring good girl's life?

Griffin: When I saw her, I knew she'd be mine. My old biker crew told me she was untouchable—that I'd never be able to land her without my fame and last name. So I did what any rock star with a big, ahem, ego would under the circumstances—wagered five figures on me seducing the untouchable girl behind the bar.

Red: When the insanely hot biker, who wouldn't have looked at Boring Bernice twice, asks me to come back to his place, I decide, “why not?” It was just supposed to be a silly fling.

Griffin: It was just supposed to be a stupid bet. But what started out as fake got plenty real—especially after I lost her. Five years. I spent five years searching for her. And when I find her.

Red: Five years. I managed to hide from him for over five years. He's powerful and dangerous, and I'm not sure what he'll do if he discovers the secret I've been keeping from him for five years and nine months. So when he finds me, what's this story called again?

Escaping the Ruthless Biker: No, that's not the title, baby. The story is called Red. Red and the Big Bad Reaper. And you're about to find out why.

Great

I really liked this book and would recommend it. It had a great storyline and sexual storylines. I wish this book was a movie or TV show. This couple was absolutely madden together. I really didn't want this book to end. TT is a great writer and Clementine is an amazing awesome narrator.

I enjoy all of TT's book and can't wait for Her Russian Surrender to be on audible and hopefully read by Clementine Dove.

Gritty and sexy

I don't read, or in this case, listen to, a lot of biker romances, but this one isn't the typical biker romance. Oh, it has its share of darkness, and there are some rough and rowdy characters here who have no qualms about crossing lines most of us would never dream of. Then there's Griffin, who is a bit of a contradiction. He has a ruthless side, but he's also sweet and protective, and he has a softer side that's just as sexy as the arrogant biker who can have any girl he wants. And Red? There's just something so tempting about Red's choices. I mean, who wouldn't want to step outside the box they live in and be bold and daring, even if it's just for a little while? We also get to catch up with some past favorites in Theodora Taylor's world. I like the way she handled that - she gives enough explanation, so you aren't lost if you're new to the characters, but it's not so much that it bogs down the story for those familiar with the past stories. Ryan West and Clementine Dove give voice to the characters, and they give a top-notch performance. I've had the pleasure of listening to Clementine Dove before, and she always delivers. She brings the characters to life, and in this case, she gives us all the sass I would expect from Red. Ryan West was new to me, but I'm definitely going to be looking for more of him. That voice is exactly what I wanted from Griffin, and whether he's being cold and calculating or sexy as sin, Ryan West brings it. To sum it up, we have a gritty romance excellently performed. The more I read or listen to Theodora Taylor's work, the more I want. It's so easy to fall into her writing and get lost in the world she's created.

Did not see that coming

This was a very interesting story… from when I began to how things ended it was so different than what I would have thought. Characters surprised me and I thought it was a great turn around.

Emotional

Theodora Taylor brings emotion in her writing. Ryan West and Clementine Dove as narrators brought each character to life. I one point I’m awe they are in love, another I am mad at Griffin and cannot believe I what I am hearing. Then it all comes together. This was my first Theodora Taylor story but it will not be my last!

A

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. Absolutely loved the child. I would have rated it an A+ if the heroine displayed the art of an adult listening and reasoning the conversation about five years ago from his step mother. And the hero's inability for truth. Some of their behaviors emulated teens. Close to a book about grownups just a bit shy. Worth the price even with those flaws for me.

Red you can't hide forever!

I enjoyed this book. especially the male and female voices. I would have loved to have a dou for all of the MC males in their books as well. My most favorite part was the wedding scene with Phantoms bro.

Worth the credit

Sadly I avoided this book for a long time. The sample made me avoid it but once I got it, the story was good. I love the author’s character development- the way she humanizes the most vicious characters. I read these books as standalone and it makes the stories more enjoyable because I get to choose which character story I pick next. I will definitely listen to this again.

Great story

This book is an absolute ride! You get the steam, you get the humor and sarcasm, you get the frustration towards the characters, and the sadness... but you also get the HEA that makes it worth it all in the end! I won't deny that there were moments I'd have yelled at both of these characters if I could have, but I still really enjoyed their story.

The narrators did an amazing job with this one. Both of their voices fit the characters so well and made the immersion into the story all the better!

Ruthlessly OBSESSED!

Please release the audio for the rest of the reapers series!!! This was seriously SO good!!!!

You can’t hide, Red!

Griffin was a good MC story turned great listen. I loved the narrators and the emotion they brought to the story. Griffin was a bad boy turned straight by the love of woman. I liked the way the author humanized the villains. Everyone has traumas from their past that they bring into their present and these characters are no exception. Miscommunications and deceit happens but sometimes that second chance is just at the perfect time. I would definitely read/listen to The Vengeance story after this.
