Tex

Dixie Reapers MC, Book 6

Tex

I made a mistake 15 years ago, one that could have landed my ass in jail. Instead, I made a deal. I signed away the rights to a child I'd never see, and then I joined the army, putting the Dixie Reapers and my life in Alabama firmly in my rearview. But now I'm back, and I can't help but wonder what happened to my son or daughter. What I discover makes my blood run cold, and I vow to do anything in my power to save the daughter I've never met. I just didn't count on rescuing two damsels, or that the second one would look at me with haunted eyes that would make me do something stupid. I'd vowed to never let another woman f--k me over. I just hope I don't regret letting Kalani into my home and into my life. She has trouble written all over her.

Kalani

I've been locked away my entire life. Hillview Asylum looks presentable enough on the outside, but I know firsthand about the horrors inside those walls. I'd always expected I'd die there, until he came. Not that he was coming for me. I've sheltered his daughter, Janessa, as much as possible, and in return I gained her trust and loyalty. I'd have never guessed those two things would save me. Or maybe they didn't, because now I'm faced with a man who makes me want things I shouldn't. His club suggested a marriage of convenience, to keep me out of Hillview, but I want more than just his name. I have no doubt this is going to end with my heart shattered at my feet, but he keeps the nightmares away. For the first time in my entire life, I feel safe. Protected. But now I want more.... I want to be loved.

Finding Home

I LOVE Johnny's premonition about Tex's future when he welcomes the soldier home. It started the book on a chuckle. Sadly, the feeling of mirth didn't last long upon meeting Kalani. 💔😢

This quickly descends into quite the horror when Tex goes digging into his past. I was not prepared for my heart to break several times due to the worst kind of sperm donor and those in his employ. I do love her strength and courage despite it.

Despite the turmoil that's been her life, I love how Kalani still has some faith in humanity, and she seems to be a good judge of character. The chemistry with Tex is amazing, and I LOVE his patience and kindness throughout.

Beware, this does get dark when what Kalani has gone through comes to light. There... It's just... There are no words. 😡😤😭 Even with this, it is a good book.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen. I do like her.

Tex and Kalani

This is Tex and Kalani’s story. I enjoyed the story, and appreciate the change of pace. Tex is newly home from the military. In hunting for and rescuing his daughter, he also rescues Kalani. Janessa is a spunky teen. Kalani had a hard life, and in the most unusual circumstance. She is a character that represents love and passion for those who don’t fit the stereotypical life. For someone with such limited exposure to society, she is remarkably stable and adapts quickly. Tex, and the other MCs, seek to protect Kalani and Janessa from the dangers after them. I appreciate how Harley Wylde wrote the story. Enough info was given for the reader to know the horrors that were experienced, but not so much as it was vivid and overwhelming. Great job with that balancing act.
In the story Kalani cannot have children, due to what happened to her. I was rooting for adoption, and bringing more wonderful kids into the club. I was a little disappointed when a baby happens anyway.
The story line is great, very engaging and entertaining. The characters are well developed, and reappear from book to book in the series. Narration was great! It is a joy to listen to the different voices and get totally immersed.

Not what I expected

This is a great book. Very detailed and interesting. Didn't think I would like it as much as I did. Chapter 2 starts off with me shaking my head wondering what did he do this time. Recommend this book.
