I will admit I almost put this down
This starts with a Holy Shitake scene and the fast pace continues for a few chapters then it takes a bit of a sharp corner slowing down. Just when I was about to set it down...
Wham! I was broadsided and dragged back in
The ride was worth it

I liked Reaper (Cullen)- He was a tortured hard-shelled marshmallow-filling hero. Watching him put the pieces back together with the help of his brothers and his relationship with tater-tot ...
*sigh*

Avi, our little firecracker needed to reign herself in quite often. I understood her ingrained reaction to keep people away - She had to survive for her and Tater-tot. However, the number of times she put her foot in her mouth was a bit comical
However, when she dedicated her heart to someone she was an unstoppable force

Frankie is bottom of the barrel, made my skin crawl did not want him around the niece at all - sort of wish he would evolve to fish food (yes evolve)

The supporting and secondary characters made as much of an impact as our primary ones.

This does have a HEA that took the whole family working together to get there

Uhh. This story was interesting..

I couldn’t get pass the constant slum shaming. I know MC Romances usually have “club bunnies” or whatever their version is. But regardless of the name, it’s implied and known what those girls do. I just felt like the author was slut shaming those girls the entire time.

Avi crying “why would you want a stripper with a kid?” Was just EW to me. Then her suggesting she would get sex tips from his last partner ?? Like both of those characters are sex workers. One of them is constantly being referred to smelling like old condoms while the other find herself in an exclusive relationship. Obviously in nature both characters are different but they are for the most part playing the same role. I would’ve liked to see less of that language used towards other woman despite their role in the story.

The pacing was also super odd and the transition from different scenes was done poorly. There were memories from the character that didn’t really make sense or transition well back into the present. It was confusing.

3.5 – 4 stars
I recently came across this book about a motorcycle club (MC) and was intrigued by the story. The book delves into the lives of a brotherhood of alpha males who always support each other, even though they are not related by blood. The Merciless Few MC is a tight-knit family.
The main character, Reaper, has been through a lot, hence the fitting title "Wrecked". He has faced betrayal, been in a devastating accident, and lost his beloved bike. Now, he needs all the help he can get to get his life back on track.
Avi, another important character, was promised something that never materialized. Desperate for freedom, she runs away in search of a better life. However, the person she once knew is not the same anymore. She finds herself in need of safety from someone else. Their first encounter doesn't go well, but as they say, there's a fine line between love and hate.
The book, "Wrecked", is full of suspense with plenty of unexpected twists and turns. The complex characters, and the sweet Tater Tot and the unpleasant Frankie, are well-written, showcasing the author's talent. I found myself feeling uneasy after reading about Frankie, but it goes to show how skillfully S. Courtney crafts her characters.
Has Avi escaped one terrifying situation only to find herself in another? The only way to find out is to read the book.

This is a MC romance from an author that I havent read before. I love MC romances and I enjoyed this one just as much. This story is a gritty read full of twists and turns that keep you guessing. As it is an MC romance it also shows the strong relationship between the brother in the MC. Their bond is unbreakable which I love. I also love how members of the group are very much alpha males. They love hard and will protect what they care about against all odds.

In this story we meet Reaper. After finding out the woman he loves is cheating on him, he ends up being involved in a accident which pretty much destroys the other lady in his life, his bike.
As he starts to recover he struggles to overcome his fear of getting back on the bike. As well as steeling his heart against anymore romance he also needs to figure out if he can rekindle the passion he once had for riding his bike.

Avi is a woman who needs to escape. Her life is filled with abuse and torture and she needs to escape with her little girl to live with her brother and start a new life.
Little does she realise that her brother isn't the same person as the one that left her. He is now a major drug lord and a very powerful person. Now she needs to find a safe place away from her brother and the person she meets is Reaper.

This is a story of two people who are damaged in their own way. Both of them are scared to let anyone in for fear of being hurt again. But together to reignite something inside each other that neither of them can deny. This story was a captivating read and I can't wait to read more from this author.

Wrecked: The Merciless Few
by S Courtney

Ok so this is my first book by this author. I do love a good MC story, and this one is well worth the read. I found this author has a lovely writing style which makes the book so easy to read. What you will also find this book will take you a roller coaster ride with all the twists and turns, you will also find in a lot of places in the book it is fast paced which for me makes it an impressive read. There is so much going on in this book you will be eager to turn the page just to see what happens next. Not only has the author written Raven and Avi’s characters well, but also the other characters in the book have been written just as well. The characters are a bit complex but that only enhances the storyline of the book. So, you have Reaper who has been totally heartbroken thanks to his ex-girlfriend cheating on him, so he is in no way looking to be in another relationship. Then unexpectedly Avi and her daughter start to bring some sunshine back into his life. As Reaper and Avi get closer, he decides there is nothing he would not do for her and her daughter and as such he will now protect them. This book is a nice somewhat quick read, and I do recommend its read if you like a good MC storyline.

Wrecked: The Merciless Few by S. Courtney. I love a good Motorcycle club series and this book was a great fit. Its the first book in the Merciless Few series and I'm so ready to read the next. Its the story of Reaper a member of The Merciless Few and he is broken hearted. He has just recently learned the woman he thought was his soulmate was cheating on him. When he meets Avi and her little girl Raven he is determined to protect her with everything he has. Avi has a lot of drama going on in her life with her brother and he is a danger to her and Raven. The more time Reaper spends with Avi and Raven the harder time he has in not getting feelings for her. Will he be able to open up his heart again and risk getting hurt all over again? Avi against her better judgement has drawn Reaper into her family drama and she is embarrassed and scared. Reaper seems to help her feel safe and she hasn't felt that way in a long time. Will they be able to just stay friends or will they try and make a relationship work either way Reaper is determined to keep Avi and Raven safe no matter what. This is a great start to this series and I can't wait to read more!

Wrecked appears to be the first book in The Merciless Few series by S. Courtney. This is a dramatic MC romance with angst, emotion, chemistry, spice, brotherhood, and interesting characters.
This is my first read by Ms. Courtney, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories- but I love a great MC romance, so I happily snapped up a copy to explore.
While this was well-written, and had all the ingredients I look for in an engrossing read- I just couldn’t find my ‘groove’ with this book- and I’m not entirely sure why. I just couldn’t connect with the MC’s, so that made it difficult to fully invest in them and the outcome of their story, like I was hoping to.
I have put this book aside, to read again in a week or so, to see if I still feel the same way- so stay tuned, as I might have just been having an ‘off’ reading day this time around.
But if you love MC romances, then you might want to grab a copy to explore, and decide for yourself.
Hoping things will ‘click’ for me in Book #2.
Happy reading…

Thank you, S. Courtney!

Wrecked: The Merciless Few (The Merciless Few Series) by S Courtney


Wrecked: The Merciless Few is part of the The Merciless Few Series and is a MC Romance that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down till I finished. This is my first book by this author and I wasn’t real sure what to expect going in. I love MC Romance so I dove right in and man I’m glad I did. I was an emotional mess going in and this story had me crying at times. Parts of it crushed me . The twists and turns along with everything in between this was a remarkable story. The characters pulled me in they are developed, raw,real and relatable. Reaper oh what I can say about Reaper, his life was simply a mess and turned upside down till he met Avi and her Lil daughter. He’s a bit leary about opening up to her but what will happen if he does? These two pulled at my heart and really made the story fly off the pages. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author and this series.

This one is not what I expected out of an MC. Yes it has all the clubhouse raunchiness, attitude and they deal in pretty much anything. There are only four guys plus the prez so not a lot of different people to remember. They have the family attitude and it was a bit weird to see/watch Sam and Lucifer. I was surprised she would volunteer to be in the wet T-shirt contest (just seems out of character for the club mom).

As for the story I liked the idea of it. The female MC has struggles and shows she will do anything to survive. At times she has sass and while I get she was a bit miffed at her brother the way she blew up on him from the beginning made me wonder if his attitude towards her reflected that. I did like her story because she never quits.

Overall this is a good story with a lot of action and drama. On a personal level I really do not understand that Frankie. Good thing we did not see him being nice so we only know him as a monster.

First book that I have read from this author. I absolutely loved every bit of it. I felt so sad for Avi and Raven throughout the story. Avi comes to America for a better life for her and her daughter, Raven. She has a brother named Frankie who came to America first and said he would send for her. Unfortunately, he didn’t send for her and then things that got bad for her and her daughter when a “boy” decided to put his hands on Raven. She fled to the US on a ship, she was brought to the area that her “brother” worked/ owned. Coming here she thought she would be safe from danger, it turns out she wasn’t. In fact, I feel like she was in more danger. I couldn’t wait to finish this book and I know you won’t either. I can’t wait to read the next one either. I am hoping that there is a series with this MC group so that I can learn more about the club and the band of brothers along with their ol’ ladies and club bunnies of course.

I grabbed this book as soon as I came across it even though I had never read anything by this author before. I absolutely love a good MC book though, so I decided to give it a chance. I am glad I dove into it immediately as I felt the author did an amazing job crafting a truly engaging storyline. Before I knew it, I had finished the book and was eager for more! I found myself completely invested in the characters Reaper, Avi, and Raven. Each of them brought something a little different to the story but everything meshed together incredibly well. There were quite a number of twists and turns in this emotional rollercoaster which had me on the edge of my seat, nose to the page. I am extremely excited to see what else this author has in store for us. If you enjoy MC romances, do yourself a favor and pick this one up!

Wrecked: The Merciless Few

I'm very picky when it comes to my MC reads. I have been burned a few times in the past, throw in the fact that Ms. Courtney is a new to me author I was hesitate, but something peaked my interest. When I find a series I like I go all in and will read them all. The Merciless Few has joined the must read them all.

The first to fall is Reaper and as with most books and real life it happens when he wasn't looking for or expecting love. He is fresh from a relationship that didn't end well and had no interest.

Avi and Raven bring out his protective side and help him heal, but they also help him heal.

I loved each and every member we were introduced to in this book and I can't wait for the next one. I have it's release date in my calendar.

Wrecked is the first book in a new MC series and the first book that I have read by this author. I was intrigued by the description of the story and couldn’t wait to discover the characters. This is a book that is full of angst and tension. The characters each come with their own type of baggage and need to figure out a way to try and make things work between them.
I thought the story was well written. Not only is it exciting to read but it sets the scene for the rest of the series really well. I already know this is a series I am going to enjoy the whole way through. I liked the authors writing style. It seems really suited to this type of book. I am looking forward to seeing what else she has to offer.

This MC romance had me hooked throughout. Each book in the series tells the story of one of the members of ‘The Merciless Few’ MC. This storyline focuses on Reaper who is suffering after his relationship, his bike and his life were all wrecked. Having had his life turned upside down he focuses on his club and his MC brother’s. Until Avi and her daughter Raven, ‘tater tot’ comes into his life. When mother and daughter are in danger from a family member Reaper vows to protect them both. The world of the MC came vividly to life through the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. The plot had a mix of drama, emotions, MC life and of course romance, along with twists and turns that all kept me happily turning the pages. I look forward to future books in this series.

I picked up this book on a whim because I do enjoy reading motorcycle club romances. I mean the men involved are definitely all male, alpha, and the action in them is usually pretty spot on, and wrecked didn’t disappoint. I love an alpha male or a dude who is a total a**hole, but still has a soft spot for his lady and treats her amazingly well. In wrecked we have Reaper who after going through some stuff wrecks his bike and the trauma leaves him unable to ride, love, or really care about much, but enter our leading lady Ari who is fleeing traumas of her own. Both damaged in some way, struggling to overcome their trauma, can they in fact form a life together? You should pick up this book to find out. I definitely enjoyed reading their story.

This is a great book and my first read from this author. I did not want to put this book down and was totally drawn to the characters of Reaper and Avi. Can I say, I LOVE a strong willed, kick butt female character and Avi was it! Reaper had my heart...a hero in my eyes and loving the challenge of a strong woman. When two people meet with different pasts...one looking for a better life and thinking family was everything and the other getting over physical wounds and also a bit of a broken heart, this leads to a great, fast paced story with plenty of drama, danger, greed with sacrifice, the true meaning of family and plenty of love.

I loved this story of Reaper and Avi...and looking forward to reading more from this talented author.

I enjoyed reading this MC romance story. I enjoyed how the author used details to pull me into the character’s world from the start. This is a story about Reaper and how his life has turned upside down until he meets her and her daughter. What happens with them is something you don’t want to miss. If he opens up to her, will he become more wrecked? They are great connectable characters that made this story easy to read. They are relatable and have great growth throughout the story. They kept the story engaging and had me coming back for more. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story. I look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I highly recommend this book.

This is the Story of Reaper and Avi in The Merciless Few MC series. Reaper is your typical Motorcycle Club Bad boy. Avi is a single mother to a little girl, just trying to make a better life for them both. When Reaper meets Avi at the Club, she is nothing like he expected. Avi just wants to save enough money to get her and Raven, her daughter as far away from her family as possible. Reaper does not believe his life is any life that include someone that could love him, let alone bringing a little girl in the mix. But One encounter from that little Tater tot changes his whole outlook. Read to find out how Reaper and Avi's story plays out and if they will get a happy ever after.

This was a great 5 star read. Wrecked is a great title for sure as I felt Wrecked after reading this. The author's writing pulls you right in and you don’t want to put it down. My emotions were all over the place. Reaper is a member of the MC group The Merciless Few, his world is turned upside down and is deeply hurt. When he meets Avi he has an immediate connection with her. I really liked Avi, she is a strong female character due to her past. Will they be able to help each other get past their old wounds and get a HEA? Overall I really enjoyed this read. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

This is a new to me author and I am so glad to have read this book and look forward to reading more in this series! This author has a smooth writing style that makes for turning page after page super easy!

Sometimes when you think someone is The One, they really aren't. Sometimes family really isn’t family. Sometimes you need to get Wrecked to get where you need to be.

Reaper, Avi and even Tator Tot, learn these lessons the hard way. Thankfully the bad world doesn’t change them too much.

And he wrecked his beloved bike in a crash. Then he ends up in the hospital. He’s done with life and women.

Even though her brother never lived up to his promise to send for her, when she reaches Maine, she searches him out because he’s all she has in this new country. But her brother isn’t what she assumes him to be…

This is the first book I have read of The Merciless Few MC Series and actually the first I have read from this author. I can happily say it definitely won't be my last. I really enjoyed this storyline with Reaper and Avi right from the very start. Reapers quick connection with Raven, his little Tater Tot, was so adorable. There is a lot going on and a definite Villain that you will absolutely 100% hate right from the first meeting. I will reading more of the Merciless Few for sure.

This is a fast paced story. It's a dramatic MC/crime boss drama story. I found myself feeling all the emotions and rooting for the underdogs. There is a lot going on. This is a new MC series for me and I want more. It is a little steamy and a bit violent but the story is soo good. They are trying to stop trafficking. I really recommend this for those that like MC romance.

So good. At first they judge each other. Both have a deep attraction to one another even though they try to deny it. Despite Frankie Avi's brother hatred towards Reaper aka Cullen. Cullen has a soft heart towards Raven Avi's daughter. Raven runs to Cullen for safety and that's when Cullen searches for Avi. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book! I loved the different emotions that it made you feel. Reaper, has suffered a bit lately. He doesn’t want to let anyone in, all he needs is club and bike. Avi and her daughter come into down after escaping. Avi needs someone to protect her. Can he put his past feelings aside and start fresh?

Reaper is a member of the Merciless Few MC and his life is in shambles. His girlfriend cheated on him so he gave her her walking papers and he crashed his bike and ended up in the hospital. The only bright spot was when Avi and her daughter stumbled into his life. He vows to protect them with his life.
