Saint's Preciosa is Book 3 of the Shadow Reapers MC series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, age-gap, opposites-attract, virgin gets her biker darkish romance. Luna is a sweet, young, fierce, and strong undocumented worker who is taking care of her sick abuela. She works cleaning at a Spa that is a front for prostitution and trafficking, but she is being threatened by her boss and forced to do other things to avoid ICE. Javier "Saint" is the hunky, burly, dangerous Sergeant at Arms for the Shadow Reapers. When he sees Luna being threatened by a gang, he steps in to save her. He calls her Preciosa and she is drawn to him. They part ways but when she ends up at the vet with her abuela's dog, Saint happens to be there as Sophie, the vet tech, is Blade's ol' lady. He again saves her that day as she is threatened by gang members on her way home. Saint knows this woman is meant to be his but there will be more danger and drama. The way Saint loved her, cared for her and protected her was everything. Luna was so caring and strong for everyone else. I loved Abuela and Paco. Their chemistry was insane and the ending was so happy after the drama. I loved this one so much and can't wait for Cipher's story next!

There was a lot to love in this book from Saint’s protectiveness over Luna, Luna caring for her ailing abuela and the bond they shared. When Saint first rescued Luna from a gang he knew then and there that she would be his old lady. The way he took in not only Luna but her grandmother as well as their dog you just knew he had a big heart when it came to this little family. When his fierceness came out when protecting Luna you knew he was the man for the job especially when Luna was taken.
He is taken with her from the second he sees her, and when she keeps turning up in periphery, he knows she is meant to be his. He knows she is scared, and tired, and all he wants to do is take care of her. She is so tired from trying to keep everything together. Her grandmother is sick, they are undocumented so she can't find a good job, and now her boss is trying to traffic her. She doesn't know how she is going to keep going. But when the handsome biker bursts into her life, she doesn't know if she can trust him. He makes her want to let go and let him take care of her, but she was raised in trauma and doesn't know how to let someone else take the lead. This is the 3rd book in the MC series, and the stories are all complete stand alones, though the characters from previous stories do pop up in subsequent stories. He has never been a guy to catch feelings, but with her that is all he has, and he is ready to claim her and claim them all. He is so sweet and tender with her despite his big and scary appearance. She is all innocence, grit and determination, but with him she can finally give in. He will burn everything to the ground to protect her. There is definitely some spice and her grandmother is a spunky addition to the story. You can feel all the butterflies with the way he looks at his Preciosa, and their epilogue is the happily ever after you are rooting for. I can't wait for the next installment.

An ok read. This is the 3rd book in the series. Whilst each is a standalone there is a continuing theme with the storyline.
So it’s a bit disappointing when the author doesn’t tie up loose ends. In the first book we’re introduced to the idea of a traitor in the club. But nothing more is mentioned. Not too much of a problem because in the second book we find out they’re still looking for the traitor.
In the second book, Sophie tells Angel, the Prez’s ol’ lady, that she saw Cherry sneaking out of Ghost’s office and hiding something in her bra and listening outside their meeting room as they’re having church.
We’re not told anything else but it’s fair to assume that Angel would have told Ghost. But in the third book they’re still looking for the traitor!!! Really, Angel didn’t say anything???? That’s just weak and I spent so much time ruminating on that little fact, it detracted from my enjoyment of the book.
If you’re going to keep a storyline going over a series of books please keep it consistent and ensure it makes sense!!!
Action, drama, danger, family and hot romance abound
This was such a fun read that really starts off with a tragic kind of spin. Luna is an undocumented immigrant and, as such, is forced to take what work she can, as it's given, to stay under the radar. But with bills overdue, her Gma ill, their aging dog sick and the local gang harassing her, well she's in need of a hero. Thankfully, she catches Saint's eye one day and he steps in. He doesn't understand why he has this instant and very strong connection to her but he's open to it. And with it seeming like fate putting her in his path again and again, he's more than ready to be everything for her. I absolutely loved how feisty her Gma was and how she found a place, as well, with the Shadow Reapers MC. I really enjoyed this one and am looking forward to the next book :D
Luna leads a sad miserable life. She works really long hours to live in a horrible apartment, with her abeula and her dog. When Saint saves Luna from a gang that terrorises her area, they’re instantly attracted to each other. After several meetings and Luna being saved by Saint again, she still can’t believe that he’s interested in her.🙄 That plot is getting a bit old now.
The club is still after the evil Russian man who is human trafficking and the club still haven’t figured out who the mole is in the club. EVEN THOUGH SOPHIA TOLD ANGEL WHO IT WAS AS SHE SAW THEM AND ANGEL WAS TELLING GHOST!!! 😡😡😡 Did they just ignore her?
I found this one a bit dreary to be honest. Luna and her grandmothers lives are terrible, and to be honest I like reading to escape, and this book was a bit depressing.
Saint’s Preciosa This is the third book in the series and very enjoyable. Saint is the Sargent at Arms of the shadow Reapers MC. When he notices a young girl getting harassed by a local gang he steps in to save her. Luna and her grandmother are illegals. Her grandmother is very sick along with the family dog Paco. Luna has a cleaning job but her boss is forcing her to do other work for him because of her immigration status. Saint continues to come to Luna’s rescue. I absolutely love Abuela she is a spitfire and even though she is a tiny old lady she puts the men of the MC in their place. Luna is vulnerable and untrusting but when it comes to Saint something whispers that he is safe. I am looking forward to more from Oona Ryda.
Saint sees Luna getting harrassed by some local gang and step in to help her. From that moment on he is watching out for her. When he realizes the situation she is in he steps in to help her. Luna's grandma doesn't trust him but when she gets really sick she can't stop him grin helping them. When Luna falls for Cherry's deceit she gets in a situation Saint has to get her out of. I'm getting a bit frustrated when things get brought up but the author doesn't address them to give you any closure or detail to what hastened. Why have it part of the book but do nothing ccx about it. Again what happened to Sophie's Aunt, to her tell Blade or Ghost she saw Cherry sneaking out of his office and what happened to Cherry wants they realized what she did to Luna?
This is Saint and Luna's story. Saint is the Sargent at Arms for the club, which means he's a bad ass. That is until he sees Luna, then he turns to mush. Luna has issues with work, immigration, and a dog, and the biggest problem is her abuela. She's a character. I mean that in a good way. We actually found out two of the guys' names in this book. Maybe in the next one we'll find out more. This was a bit slow on the action, meaning there wasn't any real action until the end of the book. I'm wondering what the hell happened to the rat because nothing was ever said. Again, maybe we'll have to wait for the next book. Hopefully, we'll get more answers in the next book, too.
I love everything about this series. I am so hooked. Saint sees this beautiful woman being surrounded by the local gang and he steps in. There is something about this woman that despite her circumstances she is proud and still moving forward. The romance and chemistry between these two is spicy and so much fun to read. Throw in a spicy Grandma and she keeps all the men in the MC under hand it adds so much to the story. This is a book that once you start you have to finish. Such a fun read with lots of action and romance. A perfect mix to just add to your day. This is a must read!!
Saint's Preciosa is is book 3 in the Shadow Reaper's MC series and is Saint and Luna's short, fast-paced, age gap story. It's a great, insta love story that completely pulls you in from the start. Luna has a ton of problems and if all that she's got going on isn't enough, it appears she's caught the attention of the local gang. It's during one of these gang altercations that she also catches Saint's attention. Best thing ever to happen to her. There's an instant attraction for them both. Their journey is one you can easily fall into. Can't wait to see what's next for this series.
Oh my…. the start of this gave me the icks… because the situation Luna was in sounded pretty nasty. Saint… he’s a protector and seems to be in the right place at the right time.. all the time.
The one who stole the book for me? Abuela - she's awesome!
Next in the Shadow Reapers and we see Saint brought down by a sweet, naive, innocent Luna, who is doing everythig she can to keep her head above water.
Fast-paced, sweet and relatively clean, this is a great little escape from the real world.

In this book we meet Luna & Saint. Luna is just trying to stay under the radar. She is trying to work hard and take care of her grandmother but the first time she sees Saint sparks fly. Saint isn't looking for an old lady. He knows the things he does turn off many woman, but one look at Luna and he knows he has found his forever. Can they get the HEA or will others make sure that never happens?
Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I Love this series, especially the Clubs Old Ladies, Sophie and Angel. Saint saw Luna the first time when some little street gang were messing with her and he scared them off. Luna was an illegal and taking care of her Abuela who was very sick. But, Luna isnt alone anymore, Saint has already fell for her. Now if her Abuela will see that Saint is in Love with Luna.
He is in the right place at the right time for her. She didn't want to let him in or anyone in fact. He didn't push he was just there. I love her grandmother she is so fisty. I look forward to seeing what the future brings this MC.

Falling in love across a street. Protecting what’s yours and respecting family. Loyalty, strength and resilience are key attributes that go a long way. Sometimes all it takes is a look between you and another person to change your life in an instant. And that’s all it took for Saint.
Luna and Saint's story has them coming together after he helps her get away from some gang trying to take extort money or from her. Then she gets taken with the help of one of the club girls. When Saint rescues her with the help of his MC bros. Her grandma finally comes around and embraced all the new MC family.
WOW! I love,love Saint for Luna, they just belong together! Such a powerful and beautiful healing love story! Soo soo good and soo soo H.O.T I absolutly loved it, and can't wait for Cipher's story! I highly recommend this series! 😍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🥰
Fear ripped straight from the headlines. And once again the Shadow Reapers are the heroes. Saint in particular this time. This gives all new meaning to when you know, you know. This is short, sweet and steamy and very fast moving.
Saint is a club brother and saves her from harm. But she illegal and hiding with her Grandma when he saves her from another problem. But his precious girl is his old lady .
I enjoyed Saint’s preciosa which was Saint and Luna’s story. It was an intriguing and entertaining read. I received an early copy of the book. And voluntarily leaving this review.
Love this book and it's series and would recommend it to anyone who loves to read about MC life and their families and friends 🧡 and Oona is an amazing writer ❤️
I almost stopped reading this story a few times. First time was when Saint thought to himself while kissing Luna for the 1st time...I've kissed hundreds of women and f'd even more. That was a complete turn off!!! Then second time was when they had a club ho causing trouble. I can't stand OW, especially club ho's, who knows who they have gotten together with. Yuck!!! BUT, I am glad I stuck with it. It was a really good story, well written and great characters. Abuela was a hoot and the other ol ladies were great new friends for Luna.
HEA.
