Marie doesn’t need a complication like Horse. The massive, tattooed badass biker who shows up at her brother’s house one afternoon doesn’t agree. He wants Marie on his bike and in his bed. Now.
But Marie just left her abusive jerk of an ex-husband and she’s not looking for a new man. Especially one like Horse. She doesn’t know his real name or where he lives. She’s ninety percent certain he’s a criminal and that the “business” he talked with her brother wasn’t website design. She needs him out of her life, which would be a snap if he wasn’t so damned sexy.
Horse is part of the Reapers Motorcycle Club, and when he wants something, he takes it. What is he wants is Marie, but she’s not interested in becoming some biker’s property.
Then her brother steals from the club. Now Marie can save him by giving Horse what he wants—at home, in public, on his bike… and if she’s a very, very good girl, he’ll let her brother live.

Review by Twinsie Angie (review from 2013 but reread in 2021)
I am a HUGE Sons of Anarchy fan so this book was like watching an episode of the series. IF you watch the TV show, I totally imagined Opie as Horse. No clue why but that was my image. Horse is a notorious biker for the Reapers MC. His club does business with druggie and all around idiot Jeff. While coming to Jeff’s house to discuss “club business” they meet Marie. She is Jeff’s sister who just left an abusive marriage with her high school sweetheart. She sees some bikers roll up on bikes and kinda freaks out!!! Who wouldn’t right??? Well Horse is hooked. He likes the fact she can cook and is spunky but damn she doesn’t know his “world”. He doesn’t care. He has decided after their first meeting she will be his “old lady”. Soooo he comes over one day unannounced. Marie’s and him had dinner, ice cream and snuggle watching a movie. She wakes up in bed with him the next morning where they proceed to “say hello in a very friendly way”. Well as things progress she insists on safe sex. So he gets up to grab condoms when he is greeted by members of his club…..OMG Marie wants to die!!! They guys give Horse a hard time and she says NOOOO way will she have sex with an audience.
Well Horse and Marie begin a dancing of kinda dating????? kinda seeing each other???? Well Horse offers Marie his Leathers/Patch *sniff sniff* lucky lady….however, she has ZERO clue how important that is. Well they get into a fight (shocker) and she basically tells him off. Well horse being a jackass Alpha Male runs to some Sweet Butt at the club for some sexual healing (Shaking my damn head right now). Well Guess what Peps? Horse is totally in love with Marie and when he brother STEALS from the MC *tsk tsk Jeff* Horse steps in and …….he uhm……well…….he BUYS HER!! Yup what a great guy Horse is. He buys her!!!! At least he didn’t tell her that…but well…uhm…..he kinda tells her she has to work off her brothers debt on her back …again I am shaking my head at him. Well the plot of the story gets pretty crazy with Jeff trying to steal Marie back from the Reapers while making a deal with the Reapers enemy biker club. She and Horse fall in love and fight it like crazy…plus a lot of miscommunication between the two of them because…well..they don’t “get” where the other is coming from.
I started this book and literally read it in one day. I couldn’t put it down. I was soooooo reading it imaging I was watching an episode of Sons of Anarchy. So if you like Alpha Males, Bikers and some naughty “intimate time” , then down load this book ASAP!!
