Hayley – Having both a father and brother who are in law enforcement, and over protective, doesn’t make it easy to date. Which is why I was still a virgin at eighteen and had never had a serious boyfriend. If I’d realized chasing Cuddles through the biker compound would result in the hottest night of my life, I might have fixed my hair and dressed a little better. Not that Hawk seemed to mind. He made my knees weak and blew my mind. I just didn’t realize the night would end with a free gift with purchase – one that’s an eighteen year long commitment.

Hawk – Never thought I’d make it to the age of forty without ever finding someone special. But I did. Then I met Hayley. She’s the last woman I should fall for, but I can’t seem to help myself. Too bad I figured it out after she disappeared. If I’d known our one night had repercussions, I’d have tried harder to find her. Finding out I have a daughter is the best and scariest thing, but it means I get what I want most. A family.

WARNING: Hawk is part of the Reckless Kings MC series and contains scenes of graphic violence and sex, a couple who just can’t seem to get it right, and some well-meaning meddlesome bikers who aren’t above causing a bit of mischief.

Harley Wylde

184 books987 followers
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.

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Hawk is the second book in the ‘’reckless kings MC’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Hayley is the daughter of the police of chief and the sister of a cop. Whilst dealing with a stalker situation. When Hayley’s pet escapes she meets Hawk on her trek to get cuddles back. Hawk wants Hayley as soon as he meets her but will she end up being his woman.
The chemistry between Hawk and Hayley is clear to see and I liked them together. I loved that Hawk didn’t react how people expected him to when he found out about Freya.
I really liked Viking and how nice he was to Hayley.
I loved cuddles, I thought he was adorable.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Oh my gosh, Hawk and Hayley's story was so sweet! Just one night, a few hours at best was long enough to change two lives. Both too scared to reach out, to take a chance until two clubs join forces to bring them together. I loved that this was a more couple focused story, light on the danger. Don't worry, there was a little bit to keep us on our toes. I love it when the hero is just as vulnerable to rejection as their woman. That is all that kept these two apart. Once that was cleared away, it was like they never had been apart. They didn't know each other well at all but Hawk didn't hesitate to take her back to his home once he saw her again. Hayley was so sweet and stubborn which endeared her to me since I would probably have been the same. Another fantastic read from Ms Wylde and a newly introduced biker to obsess over. I do hope we will be seeing Viking again very soon, in his own book (hint, hint).

The second book from the Reckless Kings MC and I’m absolutely loving it. Hawk is the VP that we were introduced to in Dragon’s story. Hawk is visiting the Dixie Reapers with his Prez, Beast, for a reason. Need to read Beast’s book to get some background.

Hawk meets Hayley while she’s searching for her pet Cuddles. Well, one thing leads to another...well, you’re going to have to read the book! Hayley’s parents have their own book and let’s just say Chief Daniels isn’t too thrilled at first.

Hayley was a stubborn heroine that is trying to do the right thing. Hawk is a good guy that can’t get Hayley out of his mind. The lack of communication creates issues, but this book has an HEA, no cliffhangers and no cheating. I highly recommend this book. I can’t wait for more!

Hayley was on the Reapers property cause of Cuddles. When she meets Hawk, things take a turn. But these two missed a chance in the beginning and now have to make things right. I have to say I wanted to cry. Hayley has a tough dad and brother but she was a stubborn as her dad. I really was surprised that her dad kicked her out, not only because she was pregnant but she wouldn’t tell him by who. The fact that these two kept thinking the other didn’t want to see the other, was crazy. When they did finally come together, they had a daughter and all new surroundings and evil from the past. Reckless Kings needed some old ladies. And Lyssa will be the best to teach them all. I thought it was funny that Hayley had a raccoon as a pet. It was cute. You don’t read about that everyday.

When you don't tell the sperm donor that he's gonna be a daddy...you get put on my "she-s-a-bitch" shelf. I don't care what the excuse (except for him being an abusive/rapist)...but Hawk was none of those things. He was interested and gave her every indication that he was interested. Especially when he came back to town and helped with her problem...she knew where to find him! Uggg though when he refused the call to help a second time??? Why didn't Preacher just come out with it???
Wasted over 12 months of life and missed his baby's birth...uggg

Cat’s Stats
MMC/FMC- Hawk and Hayley
Genre- MC Romance
Heat- virgin heroine, explicit
Safety? Y
Triggers- stalking, harassment, violence, language, drug trafficking
Tropes- Age Gap, Instalove, One-Night Stand, Secret Baby, Surprise Pregnancy, Cop Father
What I think- Talk about Instalove! They were b@nging in the grass about 15 minutes after they met and they absolutely fell for each other. Their communication skills were completely absent, though, and I just wanted to smack them both upside the head. They did get better at it, though.

Hawk met his would be/maybe love, he took a chance and oh boy did he took a chance😳😉. Misunderstandings keeps them apart for a lengthy time, met again and was able to work things out fast. They may have not been thinking the same thing but a little miracle and a Cuddly Pet Racoon name Cuddles sure make them see things differently. One thing I can say about these Reckless Kings, they will battle the world for their loved ones🥰

Slighty disappointing

I choose this rating due to the lack of being a page turner. You kind of know where the story is going before it happens which makes it tough to continue on. This could have been a lot better of story line but the author choose to be generic and not put a lot of emphasis on the two main characters. For being so wishy washy throughout 3/4 of the book so much more could have transpired. Wasn't horrible but was disappointing in my eyes.

Awesome

This was an amazing book. The characters were great and the plot was really good. The rollercoaster adventure that the characters went on captured my attention and I didn't want to put the book down. So looking forward to the next book in this series. Hoping to see one about Viking.

Best yet

I really loved this book, the miscommunication between hawk and Hayley, then her being in danger him saving her, then more miscommunication. It all made for a great read, I liked that it wasn’t as dark as some of the other books I don’t like thinking about some of those things even though I know it happens. Well done it was a fantastic read

so what you gonna find is that you get sucked into the story. the fact that Hayley is under her family's thumb and Hawk is strong enough to let her be her w/ keeping her hemmed in! i love the age gap romances. and Harley Wylde makes them seriously HOT!! another knock outta the park for her amazing stories!

Hawk and Hayley...oh wow! So hot!

I really have no words. I’m so in love with all of Harley’s hero’s (some more than others not gonna lie) and her heroines...I really like how they grow as women throughout the story.

Thank you for the cameos Ms. Wylde ;) now I’m off to re read Cuffs and Kink!

Absolutely loved it.

i have long been a fan and reader of Harley's books. Do yourself a favour and start reading her books. I have loved reading each and every one of them. You have real life situations and the hottest hero's - each one of them being perfect in their imperfect ways. They will make you yearn for someone just like them. Treat yourself and enjoy!

Police Chiefs Daughter and the Biker!

One time…one night…changed everything!! He knew when he saw her, she was the one. How does he make it work when her dad is on the other side of the law? Definitely recommend this book and series.

116 pages. This book had a lot more ~ angst ~ than the average Wylde book. I tend to enjoy her angstier books less than her other ones. Also, I just wasn’t a fan of how Hayley’s family treated her. However, I LOVE Viking. I want Viking!!! I think I even need Viking???

I couldn’t put it down, this couple had to work to get to each other, their path wasn’t a easy one, but it was definitely worth it. I loved all of it the characters their journey and they’re past.

Omg

I love the story and characters are great. I wish the story hadn't just ended like it did. Will there be a Viking book anytime soon. I would love to read his story as well.
