I shouldn't look at Mabel the way I do.
She's too young, too innocent and she's buddy's daughter.
But when she needs an adventure, I'm the guy she runs to.
The right thing to do is walk away.
Trouble is, I can't stand seeing her unhappy.
Loving her may be wrong,
But touching her feels so right.


Mabel
I need off this farm.
Now.
And my dad's best friend is the closest victim.
Thankfully, he's super hot, tall, inked, and rides a motorcycle.
This is the exact adventure I'm looking for.
Trouble is, I'm falling for him in ways I shouldn't be,
And my dirty little secret is about to be found.

Reaper is older, hot, dangerous and her father’s best friend. He is everything that Mabel should stay away from but she is drawn to him. Her life is being controlled and manipulated by her father. When Reaper offers her a small taste of freedom she takes it.
I love how protective and supportive Reaper is of Mabel. He supports her dreams and stands up to her father for her. I also love that when it comes to Reaper Mabel finally found a backbone.
Short one-two hour read.

Then Mabel kisses Reaper, he tells her they need to get back to the farm. Reaper and Mabel head to the feed store she asks him about the kiss, he doesn't deny he wanted it. Mabel knows how Reaper got his name but she asks him about it. Reaper tells Mabel he's tired of bounty hunting he wants simpler things. Reaper offers to take Mabel with him tonight on an easy bounty. When they get back to the farm Mabel's father is waiting on them, she thinks he seen what they did. When Mabel's father tells her he found a college in Washington State she tells him she wants to go to college for veterinary school. Mabel's father fakes having chest pains so she takes him inside. Reaper knows Mabel's father Danny is faking it. Reaper is waiting on Mabel but she's not showing up so he calls her. Reaper can tells that she's upset with him for not helping with her father. So Reaper asks Mabel to check the couch cushions, she finds her father's pill. Mabel mets up with Reaper and she tells him she tired of living on the farm and her father controlling her life.

May December love

Such a wonderful story of what loss can do to a family and how we need to overcome the grief we feel. Otherwise it feathers like an open wound causing you pain and you end up inflicting it on our family. That can be devastating to them.

Sorrow~

A story that was filled with sorrow. The loss of her mother, her father’s manipulation, her life on hold. Too much unnecessary pain. But, her fantasy comes to life, and she gets everything she ever dreamed of.

Reaper and Mabel’s story was another really enjoyable book from the series. I loved the age gap, best friend’s daughter trope, and as always there was just enough spice to make it hot!
This was a fast read, but I loved every bit of it!

Great story

I loved this little story. It was so sweet. Although he was part of a MC the story didn’t revolve around that. The story was well written even though it was quick and short. The love story made sense and it was very cute.
