Wraith

Devil Daddies MC #1

by Pepper North

If you want to make trouble, you’ll have to make it past Wraith first.

Wraith has a knack for spotting a brawl long before it happens. Getting on his bad side is definitely not recommended. When his eyes linger on a deliciously curvy woman, he’s instantly concerned by her attempts to blend in with the crowd. Who taught this special treat to react with fear?

Caroline Sweets wants to be anywhere but at the biker bar. She’s there doing research for her latest romance novel. Surely, the popular MC romance genre will be her key to fame and wealth. If only that burly biker didn’t check all her own boxes for a sexy leading man.

This is the first book in a new series about the Devil Daddies MC. Wraith is working the door and Caroline catches his eye immediately. She's visiting for some research on her next romance novel. But he's more than research, he's her attempt to walk on the wild side. It looks as if this might be developing into something good, but Caroline gets scared and runs. When she decides she might have just made the worst mistake in her life she's got to fight for Wraith because he's no longer willing to put himself out there. I love how this MC is a bit ambiguous regarding what they're involved in. It's an interesting mystery I want to know more about. The DD/lg aspects are just what you'd expect from this author, AMAZING. We get a wonderful HEA for Wraith and Caroline, and a great story on how they get there.

While I was sad to see Shadowridge come to an end, the Devil Daddies should nicely fill the gap. Definitely appreciated the brief appearance of Steel in the prologue to set the scene for this series and create the bridge. This series is a bit darker than Shadowridge with a hint disregarding the law at times but nothing explicit. it is somewhat amusing the FMC is an author researching a future novel when they meet, with a brief nod to Pepper's origin story. All in all, a satisfying read!

Daddy Wraith

Wraith is the enforcer for the Devil Daddies MC and Caroline is a romance author looking to do research for her next book. This was very smart on her part because there’s nothing like going straight to the source. I loved the interactions between these two.

[Geeky Girl Review Cafe · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really appreciated the set-up/transfer from the Shadowridge series to the Devil Daddies. As a reader, it helped me connect to the new series/characters even more.

We are introduced to characters that I can tell will get their stories later in the series, and I already feel invested!

The honesty of the relationship conflict between Wraith and Caroline - I really felt for them but also appreciated the time needed to determine if they could be together.

Of course, I enjoyed the romance and the DDlg elements of the story, I always enjoy the relationships that Pepper writes!

New MC Daddy series

Wraith is the enforcer for the Devil Daddies. He finds his forever Little in Caroline. She’s researching for her new book to write and decides to go to local MC to get material. This was insta love story and has some intrigue and a little suspense. I’m looking forward to reading the next book.

Extreme end of DD/LG....
I keep finding myself giving this genre a try, for the most part I enjoy it. However, there are some things that aren't my cup for tea. when you are having diapers, bottles, etc. that is too far for me. I am not yucking anyone's yum, it's just not for me. The characters are great, and the steamy moments are written well. I enjoyed reading this book, I just skimmed on the parts mentioned above. If you are into the extreme side of daddy's finding their little girl, this book is definitely for you.

I received an ARC of this book, all opinions and thoughts are my own.

Pepper North’s "Wraith: Devil Daddies MC" is the first in a new series, and it whisks you into the gritty yet surprisingly tender world of outlaw motorcycle clubs, blending romance and suspense into a riveting tale.

The story revolves around Wraith, the formidable enforcer of the Devil Daddies MC, who possesses an uncanny ability to sense trouble brewing before it strikes. This knack for conflict shows his protective nature, especially when he encounters Caroline Sweets, a woman seemingly out of place in the rough-and-tumble atmosphere of a biker bar.

Caroline’s journey begins as she immerses herself in the world of MC romance to gather inspiration for her upcoming novel. Her intent is clear, to write a new story for fame and fortune. However, what she didn’t plan for is her magnetic attraction to Wraith.

The tension between them crackles with chemistry, as Wraith’s intriguing blend of danger and charm pulls Caroline in, forcing her to confront her fears and desires.

The author excels at character development, giving Wraith depth beyond his tough exterior. As the story unfolds, we discover his vulnerabilities, revealing a softer side that contrasts with his intimidating presence. Caroline, too, is a relatable character, navigating her insecurities and aspirations while grappling with her attraction to the burly biker.

The story is rich with vivid descriptions that bring to life the raw energy of the biker lifestyle, ensuring I felt the pulse of the bar's atmosphere and the camaraderie of the MC.

The author’s writing is engaging, with a perfect balance of humor and tension, making it impossible to put down.

One of the standout themes is the clash between societal expectations and individual desires, embodied in Caroline's struggle to embrace her 'Little' side in a world that often looks down on it. The author skillfully intertwines this theme with the overarching plot, adding depth and nuance to the romantic elements.

"Wraith: Devil Daddies MC" is not just about romance, it’s an exhilarating ride filled with suspense, self-discovery, and the complexities of love.

With its compelling characters and captivating storyline, this book is a must-read for fans of MC romance and those seeking a tale that challenges conventions.

In conclusion, Pepper North has crafted a memorable story that combines heart-pounding action with heartfelt moments. "Wraith" is a thrilling start to the Devil Daddies MC series that has left me eagerly anticipating the next installment.

Oh, and if you’ve read ShadowRidge Guardians MC, you’ll love the appearance of a certain president 🤭

BBW meets her forever Daddy.

Maybe 3.5 stars? Wraith knew the minute he saw Caroline, that she was his. After checking her ID at the door he was pleasantly surprised that she had her real height and weight listed. He liked curvy women. Nice.

Plus points for that - a BBW- and the protectiveness and possessiveness he showed when he immediately claimed her. Negative points for no background info on Caroline other than she's divorced from a sleasebag. Is she alone? Family? Why does she digress? A bad past, or is she just built that way? Did she appear out of thin air?

And Wraith kind of overreacted when she left him at the beginning. What? She couldn't make a mistake when her nerves got to her in a new situation? Especially when she tries to contact him multiple times right afterwards? She has to force her way in just to get him to listen!! He seemed very insecure with, again no explanation.

And more negative points for not explaining what the club is involved in! "Some people would call it illegal and some wouldn't?!" What does that mean?!!!! What's the big secret? Would he let her be connected to something illegal???? Nope, just nope! (Minus, minus, minus) And why the prologue that has nothing to do with this story, other than a link to the last series? Weird. I'll keep reading to see if it gets better, but get this story at your own risk. Sorry.

Wraith is the first book in a brand-new series by Pepper North, and it’s everything fans have come to love from her! This story follows Wraith, a tough but loving member of the Devil Daddies Motorcycle Club, and Caroline, a sweet romance author who walks into the club’s bar for research and ends up catching Wraith’s eye.

Wraith is strong, protective, and patient—just what you'd want in a Daddy Dom. Caroline isn’t sure what she wants at first, but Wraith gives her the time and support to figure it out. One thing I really liked is that the characters are a little older, which makes their story feel more real.

This book is a little darker than Pepper’s usual Daddy books, but it just makes the story more exciting and shows there’s a lot of depth to this new series. I also loved how Pepper connected this series to her last one, Shadowridge Guardians, by having those characters pass the proverbial torch to the Devil Daddies. That was such a cool way to link the stories.

I’m really excited to read more about the other members of the Devil Daddies MC. If you like age play, motorcycle clubs, and sweet but spicy romance, you’ll love Wraith!

A monkey and a snail

I loved this start to the Devil Daddies MC series.
The beginning was glorious, a cross over with the Shadowridge Guardians. The perfect way to entrap me into the series 😺 and it did not disappoint.
Wraith is stern, grumpy and very focused on MC business. Until Caroline crosses his path and everything changes.
Caroline is researching her latest novel and goes to the bar to study the bikers.
She is thrown by her attraction to Wraith and her reaction to seeing her ex sends her down a path she never expected.
Wraith does not complain, he is immediately intreaque and captivated by this woman with silky tresses.
Caroline assumes this is a one night fling. Wraith knows its forever.
I love these characters. The story is intense, joyful, passionate and full of secrets. I hope some of them will get exposed over the series.
This book is the perfect start to the series and sets the bar high for the next tale, which i have already ordered.
I highly recommend this book and author 😺

Wraith is the first installment in Pepper North’s Devil Daddies MC series. In it, she chronicles the age-play romance between Caroline and Wraith. She is a divorcee and a spicy romance author. He is the enforcer for the Devil Daddies MC. In this capacity, he also screens patron access to the MC’s bar, Inferno. This is where he first lays eyes on Caroline. Sparks ignite and Wraith makes it his mission to get to know her. For Caroline sparks ignited as well whenever she is near Wraith. However, she is plagued by emotional scars inflicted by her ex-husband, Adam. As Caroline and Wraith begin and navigate their age-play romantic journey, Adam hovers waiting to strike. He threatens Caroline for a bigger percentage of royalties from the sale of her books. He goes so far as to put a tracker in her car? How much further will Adam escalate? How will Wraith react? What will his MC brothers do? Can Caroline ever dissociate herself from Adam? What ramifications will come from her being a writer? Will there be an HEA for Wraith and Caroline?
I find Ms. North’s writing style easy to follow. Her characters are likeable and multi-dimensional. The storyline is enjoyable with a perfect blend of drama, romance, and suspense. The plot is well thought out. I appreciate Ms. North’s use of a two-prong plot line. One follows Caroline and Wraith’s romantic journey. The other is the intrigue behind Caroline’s ex-husband’s stalking and threatening actions as how Wraith protect Caroline. The result is another riveting romantic adult-play romantic story. . Nicely done, Ms. North.

What a fabulous new story of dangerous MC bikers and their Littles. Wraith is the enforcer for the Devil Daddies MC. When he meets Caroline at the Inferno Club, he thinks she is up to something when he sees her making notes on her mobile phone, when he catches up to her, she suddenly grabs him and kisses him, and this is the start of a fabulous relationship for both Caroline and Wraith. There are elements of danger and uncertainty in Caroline’s life, and getting to know her big, bad biker boy, she recognises where her future is. I thoroughly enjoyed the interaction between Caroline and the rest of the bikers that she came in contact with. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.

[Jan · Rating 5 out of 5]

First off, I love that we had Steele from Shadowridge Guardians in the beginning meeting Wraith. It’s like a handshake between MCs. I enjoyed reading that. We learn a bit about the Devil Daddies with Lucien as Prez and Wraith as SAA. Caroline is only at Inferno to do research for her new book. She just happened to meet Wraith manning the door to the club. There is nothing pushy from him. And I like that they make sure those entering Inferno aren’t a danger. The description of the compound where they live sounds nice and serene. I was heartbroken at one part for them but Caroline found the strength to push forward. Her ex-husband did a number on her. Adam was definitely a jerk. Wraith took care of his little girl and even introduced her to new things. Looking forward to seeing how Scythe handles Winnie.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Devil Daddies MC are strict, mysterious sexy & dangerous Daddies. You’re going to fall head over heels for Wraith and Caroline Sweets but you better hang on tight for a wild ride. Make sure you pay attention in the beginning for there is a clue that is connected to another brother. I love how the prologue includes” Steele having a run in with
a member of the Devil Daddies while getting gas. Steele is going to check-in with Lucien their president to let him know that not only is he the president of the Shadowridge Guardians, MC and he is not in town to cause trouble or mess with their turf; he is there to protect his little as she is filling in for the bank manager it was passing the torch for a new group of MC Daddies, I wouldn’t be surprised if their paths cross again. I’m looking forward to the next story.

Love Wraith's story. It was easy to read; characters came to life. Caroline was, to me at first, hiding from something or someone. Wraith's 'Daddy' radar kicked in really quick. The emotions in this story felt real, you could relate to how Caroline freaked in that moment and ran, I felt it. Wraith's insecurity, for lack of a better word, when he thought he lost her, more like stubborn ass - I actually yelled at the book for him to run after her, hold and don't let go. Love how his brothers, Lucien, Fury, Razor, Scythe and Hellcat were always at his back. 'We protect our Little treasures' ... that connection in the beginning with Steele and Lucien was potent. I recommend everyone read this feel-good story and all the others.

[ZJT · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful intriguing characters. Couldn't put it down.

Caroline displays plenty of angst as she battles her ethics and morals against her emotional turmoil. However, all is not as it seems; there may be some grey areas regarding Wraith's lifestyle. In this relationship, the care and attention displayed is the main focus and the deciding factor.

The chemistry between this couple is off the charts. Caroline and Wraith exploring her Little is quite entertaining. I really like the underlying mystery that is the MC's business, I look forward to the way it will play out.

The club definitely has edgier characters than other stories Pepper has written. I can't wait to meet them all

[Angela Nichols · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a fun new MC series. I loved getting a small glimpse into this new club. You don’t find out a ton of information about what the Devil Daddies do, but you get introduced to a few of the members and I’m hoping for more information as the series goes on.
Wraith was great. He was instantly intrigued by Caroline and they had great chemistry from the beginning. Caroline gets swept up in his presence and doesn’t have a lot of time to think about things. When she does have doubts it does cause issues, but thankfully those issues are resolved near the beginning so the rest of the story is them being able to communicate and trust. Great story and I’m looking forward to more.

[Toni L · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first book in a new series and provides a standalone, HEA story. I loved the start of the story, with a member of Shadowridge Guardians heading to the new town and coming across Devil Daddies, who 'have a Little in common'. I would have loved for there to be more interaction between the clubs, but unfortunately there wasn't in this story.

I liked that Caroline got freaked out, which caused Wraith to doubt and grieve his lost Little, but once the misunderstanding was sorted out everything happened so fast. I would have liked the story to just slow down a bit. However, this is only book 1 in the series, and I'm looking forward to where the rest of the series leads.

Wraith & Caroline

I have friends who are Little's. I've only read a few Little Series. Not bad. And I've read a few stories by Pepper. So I thought...

What a brave Little girl!! Going in a biker bar to learn & get ideas for a new Romance Series! LOL Wraith caught her right away. And watched. What was she doing on her phone?


This story is short & sweet. I enjoyed it. I'll read one more to see if the action gets a little more interesting, in-depth, hot. Yeah that's the ticket.

Otherwise I did enjoy the characters & Inferno! I've never had the courage to go in a biker bar!! LMAO

I have read almost every Pepper North book, I'm a huge fan! She is one of my goto Authors...so when I say Wraith is my favorite book by her you will know what a huge thing that is! Wraith and Caroline go from 0 to 160 in an instant and I loved it! I also loved that it wasn't all smooth sailing. I can not wait for Lucien's book or Razor or Scyth or ALL OF THE DEVILS DADDIES! I need all of the books in this series. The characters are awesome! The story sooooo good! There is a bit of action with a lot of romance. Pepper writes steamy Daddies so incredibly well. I loved this 5 star book!

This is the first book of a new series by Pepper North and I'm totally here for it. Caroline is a romance author who really needs to find out more about how the MC life really works so she ends up in a bar where the Devin Daddies MC hangs out. Wraith notices her and it's game on! She didn't expect to fall for an actual member of the MC club but there's just something about Wraith that "trips her trigger"! Yeah, I'm old and that's an old saying I grew up with but it fits! I loved watching these two characters come together. I can't wait for more in this series!

WRAITH is the first book in Pepper North’s latest series - Devil Daddies MC and promises to be a new favourite of mine! I love a hit MC Daddy and Wraith is certainly that and more! Watching his protective Daddy instincts hit turbo drive levels when he meets Caroline was so hot! I enjoyed watching them fall in love despite being so different. This was a read in one sitting romance and has me looking forward to the next book in the series! I’m giving it the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy!

Wraith had a seemingly rough exterior to scare people away, but inside he's a soft gooey marshmallow. He meets his match with romance author Caroline, and it's cute and adorable to see their relationship bloom. There is some tension in the story, but not too much to overpower it, and it gets handled the MC way.

This story was well-written, and just what I needed to read.

Loved the Easter egg, and I'm looking forward to reading more from the Devil Daddies MC.

Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I adore this new series by Pepper North about The Devil Daddie's MC Club. Caroline is a romance author looking to do research for her next book.
Wraith is the enforcer for the Devil Daddies MC and when they first meet Wraith immediately knew she was his little girl. There’s nothing like going straight to the source to get her research from the club. I loved Wraith and his attraction to Caroline and patience with her. I can't forget about Caroline's ex who stalking her and how Wraith dealt with him.

This was a wonderful book, and it left me completely hooked on this new series. Wraith and Caroline made an amazing couple. It was super swoony how he knew she was his right from the start. These two had me feeling all the feels as their story was told. Spicy, sweet, funny, dramatic, emotional, and action-packed, I didn't want to put this one down for anything and I'm eagerly awaiting Scythe's book which is next.

Who is Steele? Where does he learn Shadowridge is at? Who tells him that? Why is he heading there? Who is Lucien, and why does Steele have to speak with him? It was interesting to find that oppositely named clubs have something in common. Who is Caroline? What happens at Inferno? Who is Adam? Why is he at Inferno? When Adam emails Caroline, what is he looking for and why? I enjoyed reading this book! I cannot wait to read book 2 in this series!

I loved reading this story! It was fun getting to know new personalities from a different MC. The beginning through me for a loop from how the story actually played out, and that was a nice surprise.

LOL. Love how Wraith and Caroline meet!

Caroline is nervous though about Wraith's position in the MC.

Curious what the Devil Daddies are doing in those warehouses!

Steamy Daddy/Little story with suspense.

Wondering what Caroline's ex is up to as well!

Always satisfying reading a Pepper North story!

A whole new series and this first was Excellent!
