Wild Side

Vicious Reapers MC #3

by Hayley Faiman

In a world of danger and desire, he’s the wild choice she can’t resist.

I’ve always been the good girl.
The one who never made waves, never stirred up trouble. But one impulsive night, I traded safe for dangerous–and it changed everything.

Now I’m more than just the daughter of a Vicious Reapers president.
I’m a club princess carrying a secret.

The second I saw him, I knew he was off-limits. Maverick isn’t just wild—he’s daring. He makes my heart race, my body weak, and for the first time in my life…I jump without hesitation.

One intoxicating thrill.
A mistake I thought I could leave in the dark.
But daylight changes everything.

Maverick is never without Goose–his best friend, his twin. They share everything. Even their women.

Except Zadie.
The thought of anyone else touching her drives Maverick to the edge.

He was supposed to be nothing more than a taste of rebellion.
But sometimes shadows follow you home.
Sometimes they claim you forever.

Another Five Star Read

Once I found this author, I have devoured her books and Wild Side is another outstanding MC book. It is filled with hot chemistry, secrets, surprises and drama that made this book a huge page turner for me.

Maverick and his twin brother Goose usually share everything until one night when Maverick had a night with the club princess whose father happens to be the President of the Vicious Reapers with another chapter. Now Zadie is on the hunt for Maverick because she has some very important news for him.

Ms. Faiman is a master with her MC books and her writing style that draws me in and doesn’t let go until the very last page is turned. I cannot wait to see what she has in store for me next. I highly recommend this book.

I am a HUGE fan of Hayley Faimans MC series, she writes them exactly how I like to read them.
I gobbled this one up!
Goose & Maverick are twins who do everything together EVERYTHING including women.
Until Maverick meets Zadie has a one night stand and everything changes.
He was so swoonworthy I couldn't get enough of him. She was an unloved club princess from another chapter.
They shouldn't be together but a result of that one night stand ties them together forever.
I was worried about Goose and how he would react but I love him just as much.
I can't wait for his story!!

[Grinning Cat · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m really digging this series! I love stories about club princesses, not gonna lie. It’s one of my favorite MC tropes. Zadie is the daughter of the president of another chapter of the club. Maverick is a twin, and he shares women with his brother Goose until he meets Zadie. They have some prime bow-chicka-wow-wow off page (d*mmit) and three months later, Zadie finds out it’s going to be all waah-googoo-waah-waah in about six months. Which is an issue because her controlling father hits the freaking ROOF. Fun times.
What’s more fun is the relationship between Maverick and Zadie. First off, he’s not an @hole. Or an Alphahole. He’s certainly alpha, but he doesn’t need to posture. (As you might be able to tell, I’m not a fan of either Alphaholes or their dick-measuring contests). They have sexytime that is fire, and is so hot it makes my super-hot list. It’s not like they are swinging from the curtain rods, but they are so in tune with each other’s desires that it just clicks.
AND SHE DOESN’T GET KIDNAPPED!!! YAY!!!
Book is SAFE.
Heat is EXPLICIT.
TRIGGERS are violence, language, threesomes (not with FMC), abuse of a pregnant woman, and the hero does the bow-chicka-wow with another woman after he meets the heroine but before they are in a relationship.
TROPES include 1% MC, Daddy Issues, Club Princess, Instalove, J/P Hero, One Night Stand, Surprise Pregnancy, Sharing Is Caring.

***BONUS***
There’s a short story included called “Wild Touch”. It’s past the point where the book stops for Kindle Unlimited, so be sure to go back in and read it. It’s great, 4.5 stars. Very short, so if short stories are not your jam, skip it.
This is a story about Lightning and Briana, who have had a situationship for months. Briana is the woman who helped Dakota when D left the cult. Briana feels stagnated and frustrated because her situationship is no closer to becoming a relationship, so she packs all her stuff and moves West.
There’s not much sexytime- the story *is* short, after all- and some of it is closed door. Be aware that after Briana leaves, Lightning bumps uglies with another woman, but remember, he and Briana are no longer even in a situationship. HEA all around.
I really like both Lightning and Briana, so I would have liked it even better if it had been a full length novel or a longer novella. I really would have liked to see the situationship, when they were secretly falling for each other. So for that, I deducted half a star. But on the whole, I truly enjoyed it.

I love this series! This is book 3 of the Vicious Reapers MC series and it’s as amazing as books 1 and 2 were.

I love the characters and how you really feel like part of the biker community. I love how everyone is important to each other and they all look out for one another.

This one is focused on Zadie, the 21 year old daughter of the Rivara Vicious Reapers President out of California and Chase aka Maverick of the OG Vicious Reapers club in North Carolina.

Maverick and his brother Goose visit the Rivara club and that’s where he meets Zadie. They share one amazing night which ends up, in you guessed it, a surprise pregnancy. But Maverick can’t get Zadie out of his head even three months and many women later, he is still thinking about her.

Zadie got to NC to tell Mav about the baby and all sort of stuff hits the fan. The drama, the heat, the tension, the betrayal and of course murder are insane.

Hayley has a unique way of drawing you into the story and making you feel like you’re in the scene with the characters.

I love Zadie’s innocence and her complete lack of give a dam when it comes to Maverick, which is totally out of character for our good girl. Maverick doesn’t understand why he is so wrecked over this girl. Never in his life has he been obsessed with a woman before.

But he doesn’t realize how badly this may end up for him since he didn’t know she was the Presidents daughter and club princesses are usually off limits.

The chemistry between these two is off the charts. I have never been on for exhibitionism but they make it so hot! Made me want to take the hubs into the back yard and do naughty things where the neighbors could see!

If you haven’t had a chance to experience Hayley Faiman’s books I highly recommend this series.

Sweet and Spicy .

This book captured my attention from the first page till the end. It was hawttt and steamy with a lot of emotions, family drama and a bit of action.

When Maverick met Zadie, he did not know she was the daughter of the President of the Reapers' Rivara Chapter, he was just instantly drawn to her as she was to him. Their chemistry was immediate and undeniable. What started as one unforgettable night ended up changing their lives when Zadie discovered she was pregnant a few months later. Zadie decided to go tell Maverick the news against her father's demand that he handle the situation.

Maverick, was such a sweetheart. He had been obsessing over Zadie after their time together and when she told him the news of the pregnancy, although he was surprised, he was genuinely happy and ready to take care of her. He was very caring and protective of Zadie as well as his club throughout.

Zadie was a quiet force. She was strong, independent, and ready to embrace her new reality, even though it was unexpected. I was very happy that she found genuine people who became her family and friends, they welcomed her openly and treated her well. She deserved this since she did not have this before.

Along with the developing relationship between Maverick and Zadie, there was the existing tension between Maverick and his twin Goose, which eventually worked out, and the usual club chaos and drama that had to be dealt with. I enjoyed how Goose got over his initial skepticism with Zadie and ended up accepting her as family.

The short story of Lightening and Brianna at the end was a surprisingly nice treat.

As usual, Hayley Faiman wrote another enjoyable book which I devoured quickly.

One book, an amazing author, a glass of wine, and I'm on cloud nine.
If you've been following my reviews, you know that I adore this author, and every single book can take me out of my comfort zone.
Hayley Faiman is an exceptional writer, and you should definitely start reading her books. You'll thank me later.
Wild Side is her latest release, marking the third installment in the Vicious Reapers MC series.
This book explores the lives of Maverick and Zadie.
Zadie has always been the good girl, because being the daughter of an MC president, you're always in the spotlight. The one who didn't make a fuss about anything or question any order given. She simply didn't take any risks until one night she said fu... the rules.
One wild night and...
Maverick and Goose had always been each other's best friends. They're twins and are used to sharing everything, even women...
One wild night with Zadie and everything changed...
Oh boy, I knew this book was going to be wild, and dayum, it was so much more...
These two were perfect for each other, and you can feel it in every page you read.
The way the story progressed left me on edge the entire time, and the need to know more overpowered even sleep.
Do I regret it?? No way.
I loved the names of the characters. I wonder if Hayey had seen a movie... lol
It was amazing to see the turn this story had... Another one bites the dust...
Loved the fact that we had glimpses of the characters from the previous books.
It was amazing, and I hope you can read it as well.
Another amazing book, Hayley. You rock girl...

[Jennysbookishthoughts · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zadie has always been the good girl. Her life has been full of rules she had to follow as the daughter of the president of one of the Vicious Reapers chapters. But one night she decides to not be the good girl for once. That night she meets Maverick and their night together has more consequences than they thought. So now Zadie is making her way to the original chapter to tell Maverick about the results of their night together not knowing what he will say. But Maverick hasn’t forgotten about Zadie. Not at all.

Wild Side is book 4 of the Vicious Reapers MC series by Hayley Faiman. It’s a standalone in this interconnected series and can be read independently. But if you love MC Romances you’ll definitely fall in love with this MC so you definitely should read all of the books in this series.

I fell in love with Hayley Faiman’s books while reading my first book ever of hers and I’ve loved all the books that came after. Wild Side is no different. I really liked it. The story is interesting and funny. There is a whole lot of spice, but also some suspense and a cute love story. In my opinion the story could have used a little less spice and a bit more Zadie and Maverick getting to know each other on a deeper level. But that’s the only thing I kind of missed while reading. Zadie is amazing and I loved seeing her finding herself. Maverick is an amazing counterpart and I loved his whole manner. I especially liked the bond he shares with Goose and I can’t wait to see what's in stock for Goose.

Zadie & Maverick: lust (&love) at first sight!

I loved this particular story a bit more than the rest in this series! Amazing plot with a few things I didn’t see coming the way they, even if the outcome was predictable. I loved both Zadie and Maverick. I think they complement each other well. Zaddie is a club princess, daughter of the prez of another chapter of the club, Maverick is the Secretary of the Original Vicious Reapers MC. She was kept an observer of her father’s club – with her father dictating her every move and behaviour. No lost love there. Her only rebellious act is a what was supposed to be a one-night-stand with Maverick, who had come to visit the chapter along with his twin brother. Lust and lingering feelings, along with an unexpected pregnancy was the outcome of this. Zadie hops on a plane determined to tell Maverick the news and the rest is history. Maverick couldn’t get her out of his mind, Zadie couldn’t too. It’s as if they are soul mates crossing paths, so their insta-everything made sense in my eyes. I loved Maverick’s protectiveness, determination and unwavering faith that Zadie is his. I also loved Zadie’s character as she was flourishing progressively. A great 5-star read in my opinion.

She was a club princess, who always follows the rules, and until the night she meets him. He makes her forget all the rules and she spend one unforgettable night with him. They live on opposite coast belong to different clubs, she thought she would never see him again until she realizes he left something behind. She realizes that secret is gonna blow up both of their lives, but she decides to go and tell him in person. He went into it that night, thinking that it would be a one night stand, but he can’t stop thinking about her. So when she shows up at his club with a secret, he is ready to go all in. This is the third book in the series. It is not necessary to read them all to enjoy each individual story as they function as standalones. You do build on the club life and the other members if you read them in order so you get a fuller reading experience. I have really enjoyed this series so far, and I’m really looking forward to the next book. You get the MC life, a little bit of grit, ride or die, loyal to the bone dark heros and spunky, sassy women that are the perfect match for their men. There is also some hot and steamy spice. If you like a hot bad boy who will do anything for his girl this is a solid series for you.

3.85 Stars

Zadie is the daughter of the club president of the Vicious Reapers. But she was never allowed to associate with the club and its members. Her dad kept her away from all of it, unless he needed her for something. She never broke the rules as she didn’t want to find out what he would do if she did. Until one night when she meets Maverick, from the LA!

And then to make it worse, she finds out she’s pregnant a few weeks later… Now she has to go to LA to find her baby daddy and has no idea how he will react…

Maverick and his twin brother Goose did everything together, and I mean everything… Until he met Zadie! Now it seems his whole life is turned upside down and he cant stop thinking about her. And then he gets home from a run and she is there. Now he will do everything in his power to keep her by his side…

The story was great; I loved the whole MC vibe and the little bit of suspense. But I wanted a bit more. I wanted more drama, more action! I felt that even though their story was great and I enjoyed it, they spent most of their time in bed and hardly talked… Everything else was good though. The club, the new friends Zadie made and the club brother.

Looking forward to the next story in this series 😊

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

This is the story of Maverick and Zadie. Zaide is a good girl. She never sticks her nose where it doesn't belong. She never stirs up trouble or makes waves for anyone. She is also the daughter of the Vicious Reapers President. The off limits club princess. Maverick is never without his twin Goose with him. These two share everything. However, when he has a wild night with Zadie he knows that she is something he would never share. However, she is the President of a different chapter's daughter. That made her off limits and now everything is about to change when she finds him again. I loved Maverick. He will have you swooning all over the place with the vibes he is putting out. I felt so bad for Zadie though. She might have been the princess but she sure was not a loved one. I have to say too that your going to fall for Goose reading this book and I hope we get his story too. I loved everything about this book. There is nothing quite as wonderful as reading a good MC book. This is one you should not miss.

**ARC REVIEW**

Wild Side was my first read in this series from Hayley Faiman, and it absolutely won’t be my last—she did an incredible job with this story!

From the very beginning, I was hooked. The action, the drama, and the betrayals kept me fully invested and flipping pages late into the night. The storyline was gripping, the pacing was solid, and the characters were compelling.

Maverick? A total standout. I loved how he stepped up, took responsibility, and still managed to be completely swoon-worthy. The connection between him and Zadie was intense—their chemistry was off the charts, and the spice? So good.

Zadie and Maverick’s journey was emotional, sexy, and surprisingly heartfelt. I also appreciated the layers added by the club dynamics and side characters—it made the world feel rich and real.

Totally worth the read. I’ll definitely be going back to check out the first two books in the series.

Big thanks to Hayley Faiman and Wordsmith Publicity for the ARC! All opinions are my own.

This is the 3rd book in the Vicious Reapers MC series featuring Maverick and Zadie's sexy,wild and emotional MC, one-night stand,surprise pregnancy romance. Maverick and his twin brother Goose meet club princess Zadie when they come for a visit from the mother chapter. Maverick and his twin are best-friend's who share everything including women however the thought of anyone else touching Zadie drives Maverick insane. When Zadie meets Maverick at the party the chemistry between them is intense and Zadie decides to be impulsive for just one night and give in to the chemistry she has with Maverick. Zadie has no idea how much this one decision will change the rest of her life. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this sexy,wild and emotional, MC, one-night stand, surprise pregnancy romance to see what happens. I would definitely recommend reading this book and I'm really looking forward to reading Goose's book.

Maverick and his twin brother Goose are inseparable in their every move and deed except one night with one biker princess.
Zadie is the daughter of the MC President, she obeys his every rule for fear of his wrath. One night she encounters a temptation that is too strong to resist.
Three months later and Zadie is no longer able to deny the her longing for Maverick or the babe growing inside her.
With no other choice she defies her father and sets out to find Maverick and tell him about their baby.
Although Maverick can not get Zadie out of his mind he still indulges with club women. ( Found this to be irritating)
Coming face to face to each other uncontrollable sparks fly and passion ignites.
Once told of her pregnancy Maverick wants everything with her and protects her fiercely.
Book is engaging and off the charts steamy.

5 stars isn’t enough for this book — I’m still reeling. Zadie and Maverick’s story had me hooked from the first page — the danger, the passion, the forbidden edge of it all. I could feel every pulse of tension between them, that mix of fear and desire that makes your heart race.

Zadie trying to break free from being the “good girl” hit me hard — the way she just chooses Maverick, even when it’s chaos, even when she knows better, was so powerful. And Maverick? God, he’s that perfect mix of wild, loyal, and broken. The chemistry between them practically burns off the page.

Hayley Faiman always nails that MC grit and heart, but this one felt extra intense. The loyalty, the danger, the secrets — I couldn’t put it down. It’s messy, it’s passionate, it’s real, and I loved every single second of it.

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third book in this impressive series, and this is Zadie and Maverick’s story.
Zadie is a good girl who is the daughter of the president of the Vicious Reapers, and as a club princess she is off limits. Maverick is never without his best friend and twin Goose, and these two share everything together, except when it comes to Zadie. After a 1-night stand with Maverick, Zadie finds out that there are consequences to their actions, and she heads out to tell him her secret.
This is a well written action-packed story, with family, dynamics, friendships, emotions, danger, suspense, intrigue, secrets, an age gap, romance, humour, witty banter, determination, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, tragic, twisted, and unpredictable, addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from these talented authors’ whose work I highly recommend.

Wow, so good! I have read the other novels in this series and really enjoyed them. This novel did not disappoint and took me on such a wild ride. I was excited to jump back into this series and this novel did not let me down. From the first chapter this novel pulled me right back in and held on tight the entire novel. This novel kept me on the edge of my seat reading trying to figure out what was coming next. I loved Zadie and Maverick's story. Their chemistry was intense. I loved watching them come together against all the odds against them. Once I started reading I had a hard time putting this novel down. So so good! What a wild ride! I can hardly wait to see what this author has coming next.

Zadie is a club princess and her dad is the president of one of the Vicious Reapers Chapters. She never broke the rules as she didn’t want to find out what her father would do until the night she meets Maverick, from the Mother Chapter in LA.
Maverick and Goose are twins who literally did everything together, until he met Zadie. He can't stop thinking about her and when he returns home from a run she's there. Now he will do everything in his power to keep her by his side. I loved how protective Goose became of Zadie when Maverick was around. This was a great read full of steam, some action, surprises and new friendships. I can't wait to read Gooses story.

A nice and quick read. I felt this was more a love story with enough club business to round out the story -- MC lite. A surprise pregnancy that brought Maverick and Zadie back together and helped Maverick really define his feelings for Zadie. He couldn't stop thinking about her and his uncharacteristic behavior was a bit disturbing for his twin, Goose. But everything worked out in the end and they got their HEA.

Troupes:
☑️Surprise Pregnancy
☑️Found Family
☑️MC Betrayal
☑️Comeuppance for betrayers - very satisfying

This newest book in the Vicious Reapers MC series.
Maverick has always shared EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING (wink wink)with his twin brother, except the one time Maverick slept with Zadie.
Come to find out Zadie is the daughter of the President of another MC( she’s very off limits).
Now three months later….Zadie needs to fly cross country to find Maverick and have that very important conversation with Maverick.

Maverick and Zadie s story to me is more of a love story with the Reapers and all their drama in the background.

As alway, once you pick up a Hayley Faiman book you won’t be able to put it down. Btw at the end of the book is a glimpse into Lightning’s life.

Sweet and sexy hot!!!

This series has been so enjoyable to read. Maverick is a twin abd they share everything! Maverick had a one night stand with a woman he met on a run one night. Zadie is a good girl she is the girl Maverick had the one night with. He is a brother from a different MC chapter and she needs to find him and things get "Wild"!!
This is a fast-moving story with great characters. Zadie and Maverick are perfect and their chemistry is hot!!
This is a book you will want to read in one sitting from start to finish! Hayley writes such great books!!!

Maverick and Goose are inseparable as twins until Maverick meets Zadie. After one night together he goes home to NC and she continues on in her naive life in CA. Neither can forget the other and when she shows in in NC he decides he's not letting her go. This was a fast read and full of steam, the action/plot wasn't great and its not one of my favorites in the series but I'm looking forward to the next book.

You can’t go wrong with the 3rd book in this series. We have Maverick and Goose who pretty much share everything since they are twins. I mean everything… one night however Maverick catches the club princess Zadie from another club. Now I’m not too big on surprise pregnancies, but this one was done well. I love a good MC romance. I loved the chemistry between these two and the drama that comes with living a MC lifestyle. This was another amazing read by this author as it always is.

She was just supposed to be a one night stand, really a once and done; but Maverick finds he can't forget about Zadie. Zadie also finds she can't forget Maverick and then discovers she's pregnant. She decides to go and tell him in person, because he deserves that, but when she does his reaction isn't what she expected; he wants to keep her.
Can she give up everything and everyone to be with him, and how will her father react?

A good read with good characters and plotlines.

Wild Side is book 3 in the Vicious Reaper's MC. This is Maverick and Club Princess Zadie's story. This is a really beautiful story. Unexpected love, surprise baby and found family make up this journey. Maverick and Zadie are complete perfection and their journey makes you want to fall in love all over again. There's action, drama, surprises and loaded with spicy times, you simply can't go wrong with Wild Side.

The read was excellent! Zadie comes across as a sheltered princess who instantly captures the attention of Maverick, a charming playboy type. The sparks between them are undeniable, and their chemistry keeps the story engaging—especially when an unexpected twist changes everything. I also enjoyed the supporting characters; they provide a nice balance and add depth to Zadie and Maverick’s journey.

3.5
I started off really enjoying this, but ground it to be a bit longer than necessary, with little meat to the later side of the story.

The fmc did grate a little and wasn't as strong a character as I would've liked and some of the spice just seemed to be there to add to the count.

It would've been nice to have some more details on the backgrounds of Maverick and Goose, as well, but overall was a decent enough MC romance, just too long
