About SHADE’S LADY:
New York Times bestselling author Joanna Wylde returns to the world of the Reapers Motorcycle Club…
Looking back, none of this would’ve happened if I hadn’t dropped my phone in the toilet. I mean, I could’ve walked away from him if I’d had it with me.
Or maybe not.
Maybe it was all over the first time he saw me, and he would’ve found another way. Probably—if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that Shade always gets what he wants, and apparently he wanted me.
Right from the first.

My Thoughts:
Mandy McBride works at a bar and her looks and her
attire is how she earns her tips. Shade
is a man who commands attention and he will grab yours. He tells it like it is and pulls no
punches. He’s not a man that considers
anyone’s feelings.
If you’re a person that doesn’t like to read a story written in
the first person or alternating persons don’t let that stop you from experiencing
this book. It’s a story with
emotion. You have to feel sorry for
Mandy and her family, which shows the amount of work that this author has put
into her story. Then she puts Shade in
Mandy’s path. He’s all alpha who makes
no excuses. It was this story that
solidified my resolve to go back and read all the books that I have
missed. And you don’t need to read the
other stories in order to enjoy Shade’s tale – could be considered a
standalone.
The hardest thing I had with this story was realizing that this
was a novella. None of the scenes seemed
chopped or rushed in order to keep the story short. I absolutely loved the ending. It’s happy but I didn’t feel as if it was an
ending. Almost like the adventure was
just beginning. And I’m looking forward
to the ride.
Excerpt:
"Nope. That’s not how it works,” Shade said, sliding his hand up into my hair. “It was about a member of a support club lying to the national president of the Reapers. He tried to cheat me out of five hundred bucks by promising something he didn’t own. We can’t let guys like Rebel get away with that shit. Wouldn’t matter what it was about, the principle’s the same.”
“There are so many things wrong with that statement that I don’t even know where to start. I...I literally can’t figure out what I want to argue with you about because it’s all wrong. All of it.”
“It’s how our world works,” he said, rubbing up and down my lower back. He might’ve been trying to soothe me but my thoughts were spinning too fast. “There’s good and bad. Part of the good is that when you belong to someone in a club, it’s not just his job to protect you, it’s the whole club’s. I’d die for Dopey’s old lady and I don’t even like the bitch. He’s my brother, though, and she’s his property. It is what it is.”
