Reaper was the unknown biker around the Renegade Souls MC. They said he ghosted his silence into the woodwork, carrying his secret past close to his chest, never confiding his pain in anyone.
"I'll always, always love you."
He had reasons for everything he’d done. For the one he called his priority. Nothing was too much. Even murder. Loyal to his club, he knew one day if he had to choose between them and her, he’d walk away without a backward glance.
There's no madness like a biker obsessed.
The bikers called her diner girl but to Reaper, Paige was the woman he watched intensely without ever asking her for a date. They shared an overprotective – borderline possessive friendship but years later, Paige was still alone. Still worshipping him from afar. Still inexplicably drawn to the biker.
“There's three people in my relationship; me, him and her."
The past isn’t always better left behind. Sometimes it needs to resurface in order to have a future with the man who brought passion.
Loving the quiet man was the easiest thing on earth, like she was made only for him. But secrets had a habit of coming back and making a love that was unbreakable suddenly…fragile.

I write steamy, emotionally driven contemporary and MC romance, featuring tough-as-nails alpha men who only show their soft side for their person.
My books are packed with dirty talk, detailed sex scenes, and swoony, slow-burn chemistry that explodes. I lean into dark-lite themes, sometimes forbidden tropes, but I always deliver that satisfying, well-earned HEA.
Currently, I’m riding with bikers and bad boys—but one day I’ll be bringing you the dirtiest, most seductive vampire in paranormal romance. If you love intense love stories, broken characters, and men who love hard and fight harder, I’ve got something for you. 🖤
So I've been anticipating this book since Vic first mentioned Reaper in book two and then it slowly just kept building until I knew that this book was coming. Now that it's here I could not tell you how much I belong enjoyed this book. From the first page I was enthralled and absolutely captivated by their story. I sat on the edge of my seat in constant anticipation of what was going to happen next. There was so much more to the story than I could have ever imaged and because I don't believe in spoilers I'm not going to ruin it for anyone! What I will tell you though is that my love for Reaper is beyond deep, he is the perfect over protective, growling alpha who makes your heart skip a beat. He is loyal to a fault and literally had me swooning so hard. Paige, my dear darling girl, is such a sweetheart and she rounds out the perfect pieces of our girl squad. She is loyal and stubborn and such an inspiration that your heart can't help but bleed for her and Reaper. Important things that we always need to know about when devouring our epic love stories, yes the sexy times will have you needing to change your knickers, you will need ice cream and tissues and all the swooning is going to be happening, so sit back and enjoy this emotional ride. I always hate the end of a book but the way Vic writes, I know she has so much in store for us in the future that I can't wait to see what she throws at us next. #InVicWeTrust This is my honest and unbiased review.
Oh My Giddy Aunt!! Reaper Reaper Reaper you sexy hot bad boy biker, with your brooding eyes and stalking stares, you make Paige feel tingles down to her toes when you look at her. I do want to say though that I devoured this book from start to finish and got the privilege of meeting the rest of the RS MC and loved every minute of it, yet again another well thought/written story about my biker boys, to which I eagerly await the next one xx I give Reapers and Paiges story 5 deliciously hot sexy starts *****
Oh my god. I think Resurfaced Passion is Theia's best book yet and that says a lot since I've loved each one. It was the best cry book of all time! Happy tears, sad tears, so many happy tears. I loved how this lovely quiet relationship built and built into an inferno of WANT and need. Reaper really is a hero in a million for the things he endured. It's hard to talk about the plot and not spoil a big twist that I absolutely LOVED so I'll talk about how the book made me feel. I was so full of love and angst at certain points. My heart was in my mouth as I cried and longed for these two to be together. But there's also so many lighthearted sweet moments, perfect lines and the steam is phenomenal! Off the charts hot. I saw Theia say this was her dirtiest hero to date and she wasn't wrong and that's coming from me who is a staunch Hawk lover ( he's always my guy, but I just cheat on him with the others lol )
Besides the main couple we got looks into the other boys life and I am EXCITED for what is to come. I'm almost chewing my hand off for the next book. I'm a huge fan of character development and this story has been growing throughout the series. As well as subtle world building, this book was delicious for developing not only the two leads without pulling and without focus from them, the other side characters too.
The glimpses of the bikers who've already had their books was glorious. My Hawk has really grown and I fall more and more every time we see that sociopath love on his family.
V. Theia ALWAYS delivers. Whether its bad men turned heroes, sweet heroes, alpha heroes and asshole heroes, she delivers in giant leaps of perfectness! This book blew me away and if you know the series then you're in for a massive TREAT. Buckle up, it's time to go back to Colorado to see those dirty bikers.
Oh man. I was right!! I’m so happy I was right. I was left so satisfied ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m in complete awe. Author absolutely outdid herself with this story. I even think it’s my favourite...gasp. I know, since I'm a massive Hawk lover and his book so far is my most read in this series.
Spoiler free review because this one you need to go in blind...but don't skip books, read from the beginning because Reaper and Paige have been building since book 2!!! And that twist will hit you like a bat in the emotions!
Reaper is amazing! What he went through just to ensure Paige was okay killed my emotions when I finally realised what was happening. This really was a love story and enduring pain and hurt for the ones you can't quit.
There was so much in this book I know I need to read again ASAP! I felt a type of a way with certain lines but I couldn’t put my finger on it until the end. But when I knew my head and heart nearly exploded!!!
If your fave biker hasn't had his book yet, then don't fear, the other boys always get showcased as a prelude to their stories and I was FREAKING LIVING FOR IT!! omg. I kinda want to guess who is next but I want to be surprised at the same time because both bikers have great intro's!!!!!!!!!!
This series gives me goosebumps, turns me on, makes me laugh, happy cry, sad cry and feel all the emotions. I can't express how attached I am to all the men and women of the Renegade Souls MC. They enrich every single page until I'm left so satisfied.
There's a part in Resurfaced Passion that completely STALLED MY HEART. I was struggling to breathe because it was so damn good. yet again V. Theia had nailed every emotion in this MC series and on book 6 it just keeps getting better and better. Reaper will hold a special place and already I need to read again because this story has so many layers I'm sure I missed something. Within the main story we see the other bikers and go along for the ride. I loved it so much!!!!! If you enjoy MC then check these boys and girls out, they're something else!
He was fucking obsessed with keeping her, even being trapped in the same moment unable to do anything about it, he couldn’t dampen the rage of ownership. He was so damn screwed up inside. If he made a move on her everything could change. She could hate him. But the compulsion felt like bile in his throat. Some emotions were compelling. He’d always told himself it was better to have half of Paige then none at all. He accepted it… most days. Tonight? Not so much, not when his tongue ached to lick the side of her neck she was exposing to him.
Reaper and Paige's love was outstanding. Every word and longing glance. The other bikers were so good. i loved seeing Preacher's humor again and Hawk as a DILF!!!!!!! Capone's chapter was mindblowingly good as was seeing that other MC I'm dying to know more about. i hope Axel's club has a spin off series.
From the moment I met Reaper I knew I would absolutely love him and V, you did not disappoint.
Reaper and Paige’s story deserves so much more than five stars. I have heart eyes for Reaper (quit growling Hawk, you will always be my favorite.) and Paige is so sweet. What Reaper went through to keep Paige safe killed me, especially when I clued into what was going on.
As much as I love all the ladies of our boys, I was thrilled to read the interactions between the boys. I love how they look out for each other and their sense of humor.
I highly recommend this book but please read the other books in the series first. You won’t be disappointed.
Thanks V for another dirty talking biker. #inVwetrust

Welcome to Reaper's world. He is the watcher, always silent,comes in like a ghost and you never know when, what, why or where. We know he has had a wife by the way he twirls his wedding ring. We know he has an obsession with "diner girl". We know that when he finally lets go, watch out because all that smoldering passion is just waiting to erupt.
“Do you know what you’d like this morning?” “What do you think I want today?” Sweet Paige is looking for some love in her life. She's ready but will she act on all that aching and longing she feels for Reaper? Can she be one of three?
"I want you with me, ladybug.” ***Sighs***
This book gives you all the angst, obsession and romance that we have come to expect with this author, and also all the steamy and filthy talking love of the Renegade Souls men. Get ready for your next ice bath or at least plan to sit on a soft towel while reading.
I love this club and I love these men. As a bonus to Reaper and Paige's story we also get to see our resident sociopath holding his baby girl, the Pres doing daddy duty and the reformed man whore bragging on his babies. We get a sneak peak into the mind of a madman and a trail of breadcrumbs that will be made clear as the series progresses.
To sum it up, I would highly recommend this book and all the books of the series. It's like an intricate dance and just keeps getting better as I get more invested in the characters. Well done!
Let me start with saying how in awe I am with this author and this series. It is by far my favorite of all the MC books I’ve read. This story deserves so much more than 5 stars, it is just that incredible. Throughout this series I’ve read about Reaper, the quiet one, keeps to himself yet has somewhat of an obsession with Paige, a girl who works at the diner he goes to. But Reaper has a troubled past, and while he wants her with everything in his heart, his past keeps coming to surface to prevent him from acting on his feelings. Paige has lusted after Reaper for so long, but just can’t seem to break down his walls. She just accepts they will just be friends, but one day, something changes. Can they possibly make a go of a relationship? These two characters will insert themselves into your very heart and soul. This story also will bring out so many emotions! My heart stopped so many times while reading this phenomenal story. I’ve read every book in this series, and you definitely should as well! It is a mind blowing read and I didn’t want it to end!
This now has to be one of my favorites from the Renegade Souls MC Series. We first saw Paige and Reaper and his obsession with her years ago and rooted for them from the very start. Page by page, I knew I had to get to the end and see how deep and strong their love for each other truly was. Just like the previous books, it was hard to put this book down. Tears, laughter, anguish and so many sweet and passionate moments filled this book that I know you will just love it as much as I did. I love a story that has a couple starting as friends and develops into more. And each time we saw Paige and Reaper in previous books, I just KNEW they were made for each other even if Reaper didn’t show it. It’s the little details in their interactions that had me excited for their book, and V did not disappoint with these two. Her writing is wonderful and I simply cannot wait for the next installment.
oh, the longing. The longing of it all! It practically rose off the kindle how badly Reaper and Paige wanted each other. What's the issue then, I hear you ask? Oh,you'd have to read to find out because that's major spoilers! We knew so little about Reaper from the series, but it all begins to make perfect sense and I breathed every delicious word.
What an EPIC addition to my beloved bikers. I didn't know how much I needed this kind of love story and now my heart is full and happy.
I need Capone's book and soon!!
Too much exposure to Reaper was like glaring directly into the sun.
Omg. I just swoon for Reaper. This quiet man has been through sooo much. He has his Paige, that he watched and wanted for so long, yet wanted to let her live her own life. I want a love like his. One so complete, so full.
As for Paige. How can she not see his love for her. Why else would he run off dates..... When they finally let loose that hot dirty passion.... damn hot.... I think I needed a drink to cool off
The twist in the middle I Wanted to bawl my eyes out.
While Hawk was always my man, I feel like Im cheating with Reaper. Seriously INVICITRUST.
JUST WOW One of the most beautifully, hot, sizzling true love stories written in a long time. For those who have read the other MC stories in this series, we all knew that Reaper was going to be a little different, and guess what..... V didn't disappoint us. What a rollercoaster ride of emotions from start to finish.
Also, the beautifully written snippets of the others MC brothers', from Hawk and his baby to Lawless being, well... Lawless. Every page was a delight to read.
If I could give 10 stars I would. The storyline is amazing, but the love Reaper has for his Lady Bug is extraordinary. I cried, I laughed, I hurt for these characters. Ms V is exceptional in her world building and angsty biker boys and the women they claim as their own. So, so good. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You know a book is so good when you can't stop thinking about it days later. In fact, I've already read it a second time. Resurfaced Passion is guaranteed to hit you in the feels with its perfect blend of emotional heart tugs, sexy, sexy and delicious memorable moments. This book has stayed with me days later and I've even read it a second time to pick up the breadcrumbs that I missed throughout the first time.
This is such a gentle story within the MC world. All the dangerous storylines with the MC's nemesis' are still ongoing in the background and I love love love how Theia is building those to a climax without it overwhelming what is always a character driven story.
I was incredibly overwhelmed with Reaper's sexy, angsty thoughts. The longing was REAL and my THIRST was also real. Swear to god, this biker gave me the jitters and I'm left completely in love. Throughout it felt like a forbidden love yet both characters WANTED EACH OTHER SO BADLY. oh my god, the want was palpable I almost dragged out my own hair. We pick up the breadcrumbs the author lays down so subtly and a picture begins to emerge and GOD ... I cried so much during this book. I didn't know going into it it would be a cry book, but my tears were happy and sad, happy and sad. and then overwhelming happiness!!!
My darling Hawk was present and he's now a DILF!!!! Plus we got insight into Lawless (oh my god, my heart exploded. Need this story ) and now Capone!!! I'm a thirsty bitch for it all.
Read in order and fall in love like I did. I've loved seeing Reaper's progression through the series. Simply perfect.
So much story. On the edge of my seat and unable to put down.
“But does he love you like he loved her?”
This author writes extremely hot chemistry. And even if that wasn’t there, her story telling is simply enthralling. It’s not what you think, unless you think that then you still might not be right. So just keep reading and don’t put it down! You’ll miss something important like Preacher holding his son.
I knew something was up, but i couldn’t put my finger on exactly what it was. There was something awful in Reaper’s past. But he moves a little different than the rest. And Because i know the author will have us thinking one way then go another. So it had me questioning myself until the very last page!
“That extraordinary pull he felt day and night just to be near her grew more monstrous with every ticking second.”
What a “Paige” turner! I usually look so forward to all the other character chapters too so i know who’s next, and they were amazing...Lawless i need not say more, but this time i just wanted to know, had to know Will Reaper finally get with Paige?!?!
“It’s the way i dream of you looking at me. Like you see me.”
Anything more would be a complete spoiler. But, this is a must read and i cannot wait for more of this world.
“It fell out of a box on the top shelf. All makes sense now. I hate puzzles with no solution, and you were one big f’in Rubik’s cube.”
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I don’t know what to say about this book—except that is a mind-blowing rollercoaster of a ride. All I am going to do is ramble on and on about how amazing Resurfaced Passion is. Hot Damn! V. Theia did it again. I swear her books keeps getting better and better. As far as book boyfriends goes, Reaper is one of my favorites-EVER. Right up there in my top ten list of book boyfriends (and I have read many…many…many books)
Reaper and Paige was the perfect couple, after years of being completely smitten with each other and never doing anything about it--is amazing in itself. I love Paige and Reaper so much that this is the first book in the series that I didn’t care about breadcrumbs or seeing what the other guys are up to. I will have to read it a second time to search for breadcrumbs that I may have missed. I only wanted Paige and Reaper—that’s is how amazing their love story is. I wanted them on every page and I couldn’t stop reading. This is such an addictive series. The main characters, the side character and stories really pull you in and make you desperate for the next book in the series.
This book will surprise you—it certainly left me breathless. V. Theia is a great author and her books took my breath away over and over again.
I highly recommend this book and this series—if you love amazing love stories and bad boy bikers.
This book is everything! It has a story unlike any other, these two characters will take you on a ride that you will never want to get off of. Reaper and Paige are two firecrackers and when they meet, you will see a bomb that explodes in the most beautiful way possible. These two will cling to you and never let you go, be prepared for all the rereads people because their story is one for the record books.
This book is amazing!! There are so many this I want to say about Reaper and Paige, but the only thing I can say is V. Theia exceeded my expectations with this book.
I did not want to write this review straight away mainly because I thought I would end up spoiling it. So I needed to back away and take stock of the book.
This is an amazing book, I cannot say this more. I believe it is one of the best that V. Theia has written. It had my heart in my mouth but had me awwwing and grabbing my heart at the sweetness. And crying at the sadness. This is a book not to be spoilt- just read it. It is sooooo worth it.
Reaper is truly the biker who waited and it was so worth the wait.
I cannot wait for the next one. This series always has me wanting more but I will be like Reaper was with his Paige I will wait patiently but with longing.
4.75 stars From the very first book of this series of standalones, I have loved every character. However, this one might be my favorite of them all. Reaper gives new meaning to BBF. From his unconditional love, devotion, and dirty mouth he is delicious. The way that he loves Paige is what every person should aspire to experience in their life. There is so much to say about this story but I cannot say much without spoiling a HUGE twist. A twist, that I DID NOT see coming until that moment that it all came together.
There were hints as to who still has a story to tell. I want it to be Lawless but I think He will be the last one to have his story told. My guess is going to be Texas. I won't complain about that because I had a feeling that there was more to his story with the way his departure was told.
Highly recommend this story and series. I would start at the beginning though.

What do you get when you mix a pining biker holding a lot of secrets under his wedding ring and a pink haired diner girl who loves him? you get an amazing story told by an author who knows how to deliver a perfectly executed MC series with so many balls in the air. Not just from the main characters, but from the ongoing MC story with the enemies to the club, plus there's small introductions to other bikers future stories and it's just done so flawlessly good, I can't get enough.
Heavily character driven throughout, I felt every word from Reaper and Paige and when it came to the heartstopping moment it was worth the pay out.
Can we just talk about Lawless for a second? this sycophantic enforcer who is a genius and slightly psychotic is featured most every book and with each segment we get a bit more of his personality and I was LIVING FOR IT. I swear if his story doesn't pan out the way it's looking like I might explode. I cannot wait for his book.
Until then, i will love on Reaper. The biker who waited was so damn good.
I love, love, love this series. This installment did not disappoint. I'd been waiting on Reaper and Paige's story for a while now and there's nothing like some delayed gratification. I won't spoil it for anyone but let's just say it has the twists and turns we've come to expect from V Theia. I was grinning from ear to ear when I finished. One thing I absolutely love about this series is the likable, relatable heroines. They don't just have the personality of a warm blanket. They are beloved and awesome all on the own. If you love a good, romantic, happy ending with a side of dirty talking, hot biker, try this series. This should not be read on its own. It will be much more enjoyable if you read the series in order.
This story was literally everything I hoped it would be. Reaper has been loving Paige for years, but not letting her know that. She feels firmly in the friend zone, especially after the holidays they have spent together--until she starts trying to date. All of Reaper's secrets come out eventually. There are some very amusing moments with the guys and some very interesting events from the past that make their way to the present. I adore this series.
I can't rave enough! This story is a true masterpiece, V.Theia! Renegade Souls bikers are all hot, sexy, brooding men, that are damaged to the core. But, they still love and each man craves the touch of one strong, dynamic woman who claims their heart. Reaper is a sexy as hell biker, but he's got a past that he keeps under wraps. Paige is a waitress and baker that works at the local diner. Her and Reaper have been friends for the last four years, but he's left her confused. Every day he heads there, drinks coffee and watches Paige like a some sort of stalker. We all know that a past we want to remain in the past, usually has a way of finding us. Reaper & Paige's story is sweet, sexy & slow-burning. It's tender and told with incredible finesse. It's a definite must read! One that will have you locked in its pages until the very last word.
Oh my poor little heart. It was so bartered, abused, and then hurt so good by the author and this book. Reaper is just perfection. He’s such a loyal and fantastic man. His pain, love, desire, and eventual happiness just overflow from the pages and you personally end up being forced to feel everything from him during this story. You don’t get a chance to not become emotionally involved, instead you’re dragged along for the heartbreak and then happiness. Paige is a bubbly and strong heroine, who handles a lot in this story with grace and tenacity. I loved this story so much - and as always - it was lovely to see more from my other favorites too plus get the set up for Texas’s book. ❤️
A beautiful love story of a man so strong in his love that nothing can keep him from the woman he loves. When he falls in love he will fight any obstacle to be with who he sets his eyes on but it's not easy. What a page Turner. Couldn't put this book down. We are suppose to put our past behind but sometimes it just won't stay in the past. Don't want to miss this hold you breath story!
