Pepper -- My mom kept my dad a secret my entire life, only ever calling him Sarge. Now that she’s gone and left me a location for the mysterious man, I’m going to finally meet him. Too bad it isn’t under better circumstances. Thanks to Mom, some really bad men are after me. I’m not sure if Sarge will keep me safe or send me packing. What I didn’t count on was meeting the only man to ever make me burn. Flicker. It suits him because I definitely feel like I’m engulfed in flames when he touches me. I shouldn’t want him, but I do.

Flicker -- The redheaded goddess has my attention from the moment I saw her. Finding out she’s Sarge’s daughter couldn’t even dampen my desire. He’ll try to gut me when he finds out I shackled her to my bed, but I’m not letting her go. Pepper will be mine, will carry my baby, and no one will ever take her from me -- not even the henchmen from Vegas coming for her.

Author's Warning: Case of insta-lust that quickly turns to insta-love. If you don’t want to read a melt-your-panties hot story about an alpha male who takes what he wants, then you’ve come to the wrong place because this hero isn’t backing down.

Harley Wylde is the International Bestselling Author of the Dixie Reapers MC, Devil's Boneyard MC, and Hades Abyss MC series.

When Harley's writing, her motto is the hotter the better -- off the charts sex, commanding men, and the women who can't deny them. If you want men who talk dirty, are sexy as hell, and take what they want, then you've come to the right place. She doesn't shy away from the dangers and nastiness in the world, bringing those realities to the pages of her books, but always gives her characters a happily-ever-after and makes sure the bad guys get what they deserve.

The times Harley isn't writing, she's thinking up naughty things to do to her husband, drinking copious amounts of Starbucks, and reading. She loves to read and devours a book a day, sometimes more. She's also fond of TV shows and movies from the 1980's, as well as paranormal shows from the 1990's to today, even though she'd much rather be reading or writing.

Just a note..and not rating it....
While I like a good age gap romance,this one was waaaay too big!
So the hero is in his 50's and older than the heroine's own daddy,and heroine is in her early 20's......
I see adult diapers and fix o dent in the heroine's future with this guy,possibly a walker and hearing aide...but then again he could be a sexy,vibrant octogenarian :).
While he is capable of ripping off the thongs now and having sex like a raging bull,how is this heroine's life going to be 30 years from now when she is 50 and he is 80....little blue pills a la Hugh?

The Dixie Reapers MC continued with Flicker (Daniel) and Pepper White's story! Pepper's mother was a prostitute who committed suicide and left a suicide note telling her to find her father who was a member of Dixie Reapers MC. Her mom killed herself because she owed some bad people $20,000 and now they were after Pepper. She found her father but OTT Flicker was immediately attracted to Sarge's daughter and claimed her with the entire MC protecting sassy Pepper. I've always liked Flicker from the other books but in his own story, Flicker was caveman times 10!

Love this series!

This book had some crazy Insta Love, lots of sex and basically no plot line. I didn’t learn anything about the characters who just were not fleshed out. The one positive was the sex scenes were hot but the rest of the story was a hot mess of random people doing stuff that made no sense.

Not Fluffy Bunnies

Harley Wylde Dixie Reapers MC bk 11 Flicker

Despite some dark turns and incredibly OTT insta-love,
I enjoyed this so much. Pepper White is in an untenable situation thanks to her mother, who's really more of an egg donor than mother. I admire her strength in getting out of a bad situation and making her way in the world, including tracking down her father, Lance "Sarge" Reid, when she finally has some information.

I couldn’t see his face, only the golden blond of his hair, and the muscles in his arms. It was enough to make my heart pound a little harder, something that had never happened to me.
-- Pepper White

Daniel "Flicker" is entertaining, serious, dominant, and naughty. I appreciate that he owns that his attraction and need to claim Pepper so soon after meeting are over-the-top.

Pepper's past and present are hard and haunting. Things go down that aren't easily swallowed with several facing danger. Of course, some of that danger comes from Pepper herself - whether she's trying to do the right thing or simply protecting herself.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen who continues to do a fantastic job with all the characters.

Flicker is book eleven in the Dixie reapers MC series. This story is short, fast paced and action packed. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters loveable and the storyline action packed.
I loved Pepper. I would go as far as to say that Pepper is my favourite heroine of this series. Or joint favourite along side Jordan.
I loved that Pepper was sassy, strong and independent. She knew what she wanted and what she didn’t. She followed her own rules and was scared to say what she felt. I loved that she had a love for motorcycles. I loved that Pepper finally found and got to meet her father. I loved how quickly they got along and how fast Sarge accepted his daughter.
The chemistry between Flicker and Pepper was clear to see and I loved them as a couple. The sexual tension and passion between them was through the roof. Especially starting off with the window scene.
The danger in this story had me on the edge of my seat.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series and more from Harley Wylde.

I FREAKIN LOVE THIS SERIES!
Flicker and Pepper are one of my favorite couples so far. Flicker is the treasurer of the Dixie Reaper's MC and he's the last one of the officers that doesn't have an old lady or kids, but not from lack of wanting. Pepper is a motorcycle ridin, saf, sassy little spitfire who has lived her entire life with a nightmare junkie of a mother, never knowing her father, she's had to take her life into her own hands and makes a little nicer life for herself. The day Pepper shows up in skin tight leather riding a motorcycle is one thing but when she removes her helmet and flips her firey red hair back she has Flicker snagged hook line and sinker.
Pepper is a great heroine, she's strong but vulnerable and I FREAKIN LOVED HER! This book was a page turner for me. The suspense was so exciting and when Pepper tried to escape I was laughing out loud at just the thought of the firey redhead giving these big bad@ss bikers a run for their money. Lol! When Pepper meets her dad Sarge for the first time he's shocked by the news but he knows it's true just by looking at her. Now because of Pepper's mother she has some drug dealers looking for her to pay her dead mothers debt. At times I was crying and the thought of her friend just broke my heart. When Flicker takes Pepper to bed he's more like a fire not a flicker. LOl! Harley writes a sex scene that makes it feel like your watching porn. WOOH! I LOVED EVERY FREAKIN MINUTE OF IT! Lol! I extremely recommend this series to everyone.

Fuck.. this was really hot (my, my.. what happened in Sarge's kitchen at breakfast.. wow!), and kind of funny, and sweet.. and heartbreaking too. What Pepper went through was horrible. Both during her childhood and then after.
I loved Flicker a lot. He was sexy as hell. And sweet. And that protective side of him was both a turn-on and cute.
I liked Pepper, but she also frustrated me some times.
I immediately liked Sarge, but I wasn't too happy with his behavior later on in the book. Sure, he presumably had other personal issues to deal with, but his daughter should have come first.
Anyway, since I've already read his book (I know, I'm a rascal! I didn't read all the books in order) I can tell you I am in love with him too. Seriously, I'm in love with many of the Reapers. Venom, Torch, Sarge, Flicker.. they're my favorites. I wouldn't mind being part of their family. Gimme a hot, sexy, protective biker, oh yeah!

Pepper is suffering the fallout from her mother's suicide. She was a prostitute who stole $20,000 and the people she stole from have made her their target for retribution. In her mother's suicide note, she told her where she could find her father, a member of the Dixie Reapers MC, so she got on her bike and set off on her search. The minute she meets her father, Sarge, there is no doubt that they are father and daughter. He didn't know that she existed, and now he's going to have the opportunity to step up. Flicker is the treasurer of the Hades Reapers and the only one of the officers who hasn't claimed his old lady. When Pepper removes her helmet after arriving at the compound, he's shaken to the core and knows that Pepper is the one. This is a particularly sexy and steamy story with a little bdsm play done well. There was nothing more provocative than the "sharing across the window" scene and it set the tone for a special story.
The narration by Umi Markkanen is excellent as usual. I have come to associate her voice with this series and she continues to make each character special.

I’ve been following the Dixie Reapers series for a while, and Flicker definitely brings the heat and drama you’d expect from these bad boys. The premise hooked me right away, Pepper searching for her mysterious father, “Sarge,” and crossing paths with Flicker, the dangerously irresistible alpha. There’s plenty of action, danger, and passion, making it another wild ride in the series.

I listened to the audiobook, and Umi Markkanen once again nailed it. She’s narrated several of the Dixie Reapers books, and her performance always brings the characters to life. She’s easily one of my favorite parts of this series!

That said, this one didn’t completely land for me. I love a good steamy read, but some of Flicker’s actions felt a bit off considering what Pepper had just been through. The intensity was there, but the emotional pacing felt rushed and a little uncomfortable at times.

Still, it’s a solid four stars from me for the narration, the energy, and the signature MC grit. Just not my favorite Dixie Reapers story overall.

Pepper did know her father. She only knows that he is called “Sarge.” She is going to need his help because there are some seriously bad men looking for her. She didn’t expect to meet the man that would make her melt. Flicker was not looking for love but he sure was hit by a brick when he saw Pepper. He would love to get close to her but with Sarge being her Daddy, it is a bad idea.

Come on, you know this is going to be hot and steamy. Forbidden love usually is. And with the Dixie Reapers, BONUS. First let me say that if you read “Encounters,” you know about Sarge and Lily. Pepper is a strong woman even with what they find out about her past. Flicker knows from the very beginning that she is meant for him and that he isn’t going to give her up. I do love these kinds of romance. Age is never an issue when love is involved. Oh it sure does get hot and steamy and kinky but that is the bonus. We are meeting more and more members and different clubs. I love it.

Flicker starts out pretty heart wrenching. Pepper is all alone in the world. She's had to fend for herself pretty much her whole life. When her mother dies, Pepper finds out that she's in a lot of trouble because of her mother. Her only saving grace is that she has a father or at least that's what her mom has told her, named Sarge and he's in a biker club called the Dixie Reapers. She travels with trouble on her heels and hopes that her mother hasn't lied to her...again, because if she has or if Sarge wants nothing to do with her, she's as good as dead. Flicker knows the moment he sees Pepper that she's going to be his. It doesn't matter that she's Sarge's daughter and that the man could filet him like a fish for touching her, she's going to be his and he's going to make sure that the trouble that's followed her to their territory is going to regret messing with Flicker and the Dixie Reapers.

Four words: NON STOP ACTION RIDE! Strap in readers because this story is high octane!

This book features Pepper, a woman on the run who is Sarge’s secret baby, and Flicker, an officer of the Dixie Reapers MC.

Triggers include The Biker’s Trifecta: language, violence, and sex. Featured tropes are Age Gap, Alpha Male, Instalove, Secret Baby, Kidnapping, Mob Debt, Hitman Baby One More Time, Surprise Pregnancy. The zexytime scenes feature a virgin heroine, BDSM lite, spanking, and use of the P word.

I’d give the story a 4/5. It was pretty good, but I took points off for the kidnapping because it’s a tired plot twist. The narration gets a 5/5 because Umi Markkanen slays.

I received a review copy of this audiobook for free and this is my honest, voluntary review.

What a bundle of filthy filthy package this book was. It was HOT from the beginning!! Loved how the author always managed to create so much emotion within one small little short book. It started with family drama, slicing up with fiery smutty romance, and twisted with so much of emotional personal whirlwind. So much feeling for such a short book, and I LIKED the author for that; wont have it any other way...

Great book

This is one book you won't want to miss, it has it all, mafia, motorcycles, a little bdsm play, strong alpha males, a strong independent resilient feisty young woman, plenty of twists and turns, add in romance and what more could you want. The characters and their story draw you in and keep your interest right from the start.

Another fun read from the Dixie Reapers. Flicker and Pepper. Huge age gap. 30 years. Instant attraction. Very hot steam.

I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. Umi Markkanan is one of my favorite narrators. She brings life to her reads. She puts them out there with ease and clarity. 5 stars for her as well.

He found his love

Flicker is the last of the officers to find the love of his life. When Pepper comes to find her father Sarge, sparks fly between her
him and Pepper. The drama that followed Pepper and the strength of their relationship is awesome. I enjoyed this book.
