Hammer

Reapers Rejects MC #18

by Elizabeth Knox

She’s fought me for ages, and I won’t keep holding myself back.

Hammer

Over the last couple months Rosa’s past has stirred up a lot of trouble for the club, but that won’t stop me from fighting for what I want, no matter the cost. Shiloh and I have been beating around the bush for ages and considering everything that’s happened I know one thing for sure--there’s no time to be wasted. I want her and she’s always kept me at arm’s length, but I’m not an impatient man, I’ve waited, and I’ve waited, and I’ve kept waiting. But I won’t keep doing so.

We all watched and saw how Axel and Rosa have turned their relationship into something else, and it’s given me enough courage to finally risk fucking my friendship up with Shiloh. I doubt it’ll happen, but it’s the excuse she’s been giving me for years. Now she can’t say jack shit to me about denying what we’ve both made clear we wanted, if the timing was right. There’s no better time than the present, but just like Rosa, Shiloh has secrets she hasn’t told anyone about.

When her mother rolls up to the club and tells her she needs to come back home for a few weeks to help with her step-father’s campaign, I see a totally different side of her.

I see the way her body runs cold and the fear taking hold of her. But what shocks me the most is when she agrees. It put me in a position I never thought I’d be in. I don’t want to leave Montana with the club shit going on right now . . . but there’s no way in hell I’m letting her go by herself.

I’ll show Shiloh I’m the type of man who will treat her like a queen, and in the process I’ll face her demons by her side.

***Hammer is a full-length novel in the Reapers MC that is not recommended to be read as a stand-alone. It goes over tough subjects which may be difficult to read. Please only read this novel if you have little to no triggers.

Life is Always Changing

Hammer has been asked to be a regent in LA but with all the live changes thrown his way did the make the right decision to take it. He and Shiloh are finally getting their chance but will she be ready to leave the MC she loves and take that step with Hammer?

Shiloh is being blackmailed by the mother to show support for her stepfather who is running for governor only to protect the club she loves. This will bring her past to the forefront which could end things with Hammer. Hammer is dealing so much with his family and a family be never knew be had.

This was a fast paced MC story with steam, family and MC issues abounding. This book was worth the wait.

I have to say, I was so excited to read Hammer. I wanted to know what was in Shiloh’s past and to see what would happen to them now that he is leaving to LA. Shi had a terrible childhood filled with pain no child should deal with. It has now caught up with her. When her mother is assaulted, she agrees to come for her stepfather’s run for governor, then she would be leaving. Hammer is now going through some hard family times and they are both there for each other. This is a slow burn, but when these two come together, it is hot, hot, hot. Hammer and Shi start as friends and it blossoms into more. Are these two going to make it or will they both be heartbroken by their past, present and future. There is drama, suspense, angst, hurt, healing, love, protection and some twists that will shock you. The ending is OMGOSH, so good. Get ready for the feels and the rollercoaster of emotions. Get ready and buckle up, it is quite the ride.

Is it true love.....YES!!! But not without it problems first.

Hammer is the eighteenth book in the Reapers Rejects MC series and is the story of Hammer and Shiloh. This series has to be read in order as the characters and overarching story-line spans the series. Hammer and Shiloh are friends who have continued to grow closer. They have not crossed that line yet but you know it is coming as they are soul mates even if they don't acknowledge it to themselves let along to each other. There are a lot of things swirling around them with the club and personally which have kept them apart but when Shiloh needs Hammer he is there for her. It really makes him realize just how much she means to him and how much he needs her. Now the question is whether they can cross that line and have a HEA.

I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Book 18 is my first exposure to the Reapers Rejects. The author did a pretty good job of filling in some of the background to help this be a stand-alone story. I like that the story is set in Montana. The story had a lot of other stories within it. So, you have to pay attention to not get lost. There was a lot of MC club stuff going on. There are some story-lines from previous books that are furthered in this story and a couple new ones that were launched. Hammer and Shiloh's story was weaved into the overall MC business going on.

Hammer is an ex-NFL player turned biker. He seems to be a pretty stand-up guy. Shiloh had a hard life when she was younger and has some scars left on her soul from her awful family. I think Hammer and Shiloh's story can be summed up by a quote from the book: "If you fall in love with their soul before you touch their skin, it’s true love". These two characters have apparently known each other for a long while and became close friends but did not make their relationship physical. Their friendship cooled some time ago because of a disagreement. But their love for each other was always there. Events happen in their lives that trigger in their minds an urgency to resolve their relationship. Hammer helped Shiloh deal with some of her past trauma and Shiloh helped Hammer with current problems.

My favorite part was the way Hammer and Shiloh "christened" his new bike on a cliff overlook area. The author did a good job describing the beautiful Montana scenery.

Hammer knows fear when he sees it. Shiloh being who she is and Hammer knowing she has secrets of her own, was not expecting for her to make some of the choices she made and when the truth comes out to all whom have known what has been happening for years. Well let me tell you now if you do not have triggers well good on ya because Elizabeth knows triggers and how to bring them to light in the most brutal way with a pizzazz that we know is coming but never expect! Excellent story and with the writing behind it it actually stands on its own merit. Now I MUST say this; You need to read this series in order to follow along with the underlying story arc that is carried throughout the entire series. If you have not read ALL from the beginning you will be lost. But have no fear because this MC is here to stay. Get this incredibly written series! This is one of the BEST series out there and not one to be missed!

I was looking forward to reading this book and I'm so glad that my expectations were not beyond reality. Hammer and Shiloh have had a complicated relationship and Shiloh had a very sad past but they have been able to find their way to each other and be strong and compliment one another. The drama is coming into their lives by the way of Shiloh's family and Hammer has to be strong for his family when his father is in the hospital. I loved Hammer's gentle side with those he loves and that him and Shiloh can begin to build a future together especially when Hammer becomes regent and they move to another club. A great story in this fabulous series by Elizabeth Knox which has become one of my favourites to read. So excited for the next book and to catch up with all these characters again.

Hammer had been looking Shiloh's way for a while, but with his father being sick and his impending move to Los Angeles as the regent for Satan's Raiders from Reaper's Rejects, he hasn't been around too much, but as he explained to Razor who was probably heading to Mexico as VP to Amara's Reaper's Rejects there, that he and Shiloh working toward a relationship...but the world keeps turning, more and more kids at clubhouse, with Dex graduating from High School, drugs being sold under label of dealer who they thought was dead, man from Corrupt Kings still being held there and Ashley's imminent baby...each dealing with family, Shiloh with her entitled mother and Hammer's dad not better in hospital...but you will need to read this fast-paced story around the track to see what happens...I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Krystinna Collett · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredible. Knox did a wonderful job telling the story of these two. Shiloh came to the club when Fist was still alive. She was very close to him, and he knew about her past. With him gone, and her decision to end the three way relationship, she took time to heal. That was what I felt reading this book. She always had feelings for Hammer, and once she sorted that, lord move out of that girls way.

Hammer is getting ready to move to LA, to be the regent for the club. He gets news that his father is in the hospital and everything gets put on hold. The club is still trying to figure out how drugs are getting in. So Hammer is pulled in a bunch of different directions. Shiloh notices something is wrong and goes to comfort him, and readers, it's powerful! You will love this book!

Hammer is book 18 and is another amazing addition to the Reapers MC Series written by the talented author Elizabeth Knox. Hammer and Shiloh's story is absolutely fascinating and is set in Montana. I was so excited to read Hammer, but I've to say that you need to read all the books in order before this one,so to don't get lost in the background story. I really loved all the characters from the Reapers MC and I'm so glad and assume we will get more books with all the new characters the author keeps on introducing because I can't get enough of this alpha sexy bikers. It is a fast pace full of family drama, MC drama, secrets, steam, second chance romance, surprises and it was worth the wait.

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the 18th book in this amazing series and in my opinion these stories need to be read in order as the stories are interlinking. Hammer and Shiloh are close friends, and he knows all about her past, and they have never taken their complex relationship any further, even though their friendship is not what it was due to a disagreement. When Shiloh’s past comes back to haunt her Hammer is there for her and will protect her no matter what, even though he has his own set of problems. These two compliments each other perfectly. This is a well written story which is a slow burn, and has secrets, drama, emotions, angst, danger, suspense, twists, heartbreak, and love which all leads to a riveting and all-consuming tale. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

[Wendy Hodges · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really wanted to read this one, Hammer and Shiloh i had felt were destined to be together, things had got in the way one being the strong friendship they were worried about losing. Such a mixture of stuff going on around them both personal and club related but as i often do with this author it still felt rushed, i am invested in these characters but just wish the stories were given their full potential, it's such a shame. It could have been expanded, more detail for how Hammer and Shiloh deal with his family. The thing with the club problem. I feel the author is writing small teasers that finally when put together at the end of them all may actually give a full story, it's a shame because it makes it hard to appreciate each book when you only get small bits. Started 12/4/21 finished 12/4/21

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was so happy to finally get my hands on Hammer and Shiloh’s story. These two have been skating around their attraction and the author has given us an exciting, intense storyline giving us a glimpse into what has brought them to the “Reapers Rejects MC”. (the club's new name is also explained in the book). These two have been through a lot both together and before meeting. Pasts that play a large part in this amazing read.

The story is a great show of 2nd chances, not only with a lover but with family. It’s also a great read showing the lengths people and club brothers will go to for those they love. I Highly recommend grabbing up Hammer and all the Reapers MC books.

I'm glad that I got the chance to review Hammer. His and Shiloh relationship is warm and really full of compassion. Shiloh started as a club bunny, were men used her, until Fist saw she was better than that and became the house mom, were she was in charged of making sure the club was cleaned and stocked. Hammer and her developed a friendship both wanting more from the relationship but, afraid to go there, until they weren't. Shiloh was afraid Hammer wouldn't love her if he found out her secret. But, he showed her that he will always be there for her. When he did find out, their love grew. Don't want to give to many spoilers..You just need to read it yourself and watch their magic evolved

Hammer and Shiloh have been circling each other for awhile and they finally find their HEA. Shiloh has had a difficult upbringing (pay attention to the trigger warning!) and is forced to visit her family but brings Hammer for some much needed support. Hammer is dealing with his dad's failing health and trying to help his mom and sister through the process. With Hammer's impending relocation to LA it forces them to acknowledge their feelings and move past their issues from the past. With surprises, family issues and their own insecurities they manage to move on and create the life they want. This is actually one of my favorite books in the series.

Hammer has wanted Shiloh for a long time, but life keeps throwing obstacles in their way. As VP of the Reader's Rejects MC, Hammer holds a lot on his shoulders. They both have gone through so much. Shiloh's childhood was your worst nightmare you can think of and then some. Between Hammer's and Shiloh's personal battles plus what life throws at them, there isn't room for a relationship. But Hammer is over it. To hell with the consequences, he is going after the woman he wants and nothing is going to stop him. NOTHING!
Well as far as The Reader's Rejects MC, Elizabeth Knox just keeps knock8ng it out of the park. This is a fast read that truly packs a punch. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Once again we are with the Reaper Reject Mc and we have met the main characters before but finally we get Hammer and Shiloh's story She is a club girl that has been with a few different members of the Mc he is a ex NFL star that has joined the club he seems to have a charmed life while she had the childhood you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy But somehow despite this they are perfect for one another but Hammer is about to head to LA to be the regent for the club Will this be the end of them or will she travel with him As usual you get more details of past characters and their storylines and are fed information that will be future storylines and while Elizabeth does a great job of giving back stories I do believe this is a far better series if you read all the books in order

[Debs · Rating 4 out of 5]

Readers can expect all the feels that comes with a Reaper's Reject MC story, and Hammer and Shiloh's story is no exception. Taking place in one of my favorite states of Montana, Hammer and Shiloh are friends that will become lovers and more. But obstacles along the way will put a kink into their becoming more for a while. Having issues that must be addressed first, Hammer becomes regent for his club in L.A, but he must deal with his father's failing health before leaving. Shiloh must deal with her own family issues and past traumas that still haunt her. How will they work through it all, finding a way to heal each other and have their own HEA? **I was gifted "Hammer" via Booksprout leaving my review based on my reading.** 4.25 Stars

I think I’ve been waiting for this book forever and it did not disappoint. I must say there were a few things thrown in there I never would have dreamed of ever! The fights the secrets and the past rearing it’s ugly head. To think Hammer and Shiloh we are to get past everything to be with one another is amazing. This whole world that’s been created by Elizabeth Knox is amazing. This series is one I have enjoyed reading since the beginning. I just wish I had a flow chart to help me keep up with everyone. Then there are the ones that have gone on to be regents elsewhere.

We finally get Shiloh's story. We find out so much in this book and let me tell you I cried. So you get brief snippets of her story in previous books but here we get the whole shabang! So let me say that Shiloh is one tough lady. She was dealt a bad hand at some point in her life. Then we have Hammer and what he has gone through and still going through. We know that Hammer is leaving to become the regent and will be leaving soon. However, he has to deal with some family issues first. He also has to save his relationship with Shiloh. We also get a bit of a shock to. So will Shiloh finally get the happily ever after she is so wanting. It is definitely a book to read.

Hammer by Elizabeth Knox was book 19 in the Reapers Rejects series…this is the story of Hammer and Shiloh. I tried so hard to care about this couple…but, they just didn’t connect for me, though I appreciate the author’s attempt to ingratiate them into our worlds. I’ve LOVED everything in the series thus far…but, I just didn’t connect with these two!

Enjoying this series a great deal!!!!! Every story is unique and each character leaves an impression in their own way!!! Eager to see what the next story brings!!!

Hammer and Shiloh have been dancing around their attraction for years. They're friends, very close friends and don't want to take a chance on ruining that. Shiloh has always been crazy about Hammer, but she has a past that nobody in the club knows. When they took her into the club she felt like they saved her life and she would do anything for them. When her family demands her return, Hammer realizes that Shiloh has secrets that almost destroyed her. He won't let anything happen to this woman that he has come to realize is his woman.

We finally got Shiloh's story! She's been a topic of discussion in many of the other books and we've finally gotten to her story. With Hammer, they're fire and everything in between! These two were perfectly matched and still that might not have been enough. In the meantime, Hammer is wreaking havoc and having some thrown back at him. As always, you'll find out more information about certain characters from previous books.

I loved Hammer and Shi's story! Definitely worth the wait! However, I can't wait for Dex's story and Sydney's later on this summer. The second generation is going to be as exciting as their parents. I can't wait!!

This is a great addition to the Reaper’s Reject’s MC series and one I’ve looked forward to. Hammer and Shiloh have been friends for along time, but both have been feeling much more than friendship lately. There is so much going on in both their lives, Shiloh feels an obligation to her abusive family and Hammer is being pulled by not only the MC, but is own family as well. But thier friendship has created a deeper bond than the insta-love often seen in some MC books. It’s a slow burn, but so worth the wait. Great Read

Hammer and Shiloh give you everything you want from a book, it's emotional, has some action, heat and steam. This book had me on a journey of twist and turns that I didn't expect and I wasn't t disappointed. Shiloh's past is not an easy one, but she wants to love someone and Hammer is that person, but will he run when he finds out about her past? Will Hammer find out a secret from 18 years ago? Will he be ale to leave for LA or will his family issues keep him there? I absolutely adore these two. I was pulled right in and was left wanting more. The ending totally blew me away and I so can't wait for the next. This author knows how to give you it all and keep you coming back for more.

This is book 18 of the Reapers Rejects MC - book 18! Somehow, the stories just keep getting better. You really want to read the books in order to get the best reading experience. This story is about about Hammer, of course, he’s planning to be based in Los Angeles as regent for the Satan’s Raiders. Shiloh is a beach ring woman and he’s been interested in her. Shiloh has a big secret no ones knows yet but as they get closer, Hammer gets wind of her secret and helps her. A little short for me. My only wish is that the book was longer.

Shiloh and Hammer!! Gah what a great read. Hammer and Shiloh have had something brewing for a while now. Hammer showed his not so nice side so he and Shiloh were on the outs.

Hammer is under a lot of stress. His father is ill and Shiloh is is mad at him and does not like it. He needs to apologize and show her how he truly feels.

There is a lot of surprises in this book. Loved it SO much. I definitely recommend this book!!!

Elizabeth Knox never disappoints! Loved the story about Hammer and Shiloh. They have been friends for a while and Shiloh doesn’t want to mess up that friendship but should they give it a try?? She had some rough stuff happen in the past that no one knows about and she’s is afraid of what hammer might think. His dad is not doing good and he finds out something he never imagined. Read it to find out what all happens between them!
