Reading Reaper's Property felt like reading a season out of Son's of Anarchy. As a long time viewer of the show, I'm wondering why it took me so long to read this book. 
 After her brother, Jeff, gets in too deep with a nearby motorcycle club, Marie uses herself as collateral against Jeff's life. She is confronted with a completely different culture when she finds herself living with a Reaper MC member, surrounded by other members, their old ladies, and the variety of women who surround the club. 
 Marie is a little bit lost in the beginning of the book. She has just left an abusive husband and is trying to get her feet under herself while living with her brother. I wasn't sure I was going to like her with the way she seemed stuck in a loop. But I ended up really liking her development over the course of the book. She went from that lost mouse to a strong, determined woman. By the end she knew what she wanted and was willing to do anything to get it. 
 Horse is an alpha with a capital A. He wants what he wants and has the ego to back up his confidence. I'm not sure his character really did any changing over the story, but we definitely see multiple sides of him, and his loyalty to the club and determination to have Marie remain strong through all the events that go down. 
 I liked the progression of Horse and Marie's relationship. It wasn't insta-love, though there was definite chemistry and lust very early on. Watching them push and pull each other for months only built the tension between them. They were just as good at fighting as they were at loving. 
 This is a gritty, dark, love story, and not a traditional one in any sense. I don't know any real life bikers, but it's not a hard stretch to imagine these men as real people portrayed honestly, not glossed up to be pretty. This is not a pretty story. Nor are the actions taken by the Reapers "nice," but they are loyal, honest, and focused on their goal and their brotherhood. 
 I had a hard time putting it down to get a good night's sleep and can't wait to get started on Reaper's Legacy.
