Good Story With Questionable Character Choices

I really liked the premise of this book. The captive turned lover trope is a classic and this rendition of it was well-done. Reaper was good and crazy and so was Lotus, because she was seriously attracted to him, despite her and her daughter being held captive by this crazy, emotionally unstable man.

I would rate this book higher at a 4.5, but some of the decisions by the characters left me scratching my head, the most glaring being: Reaper had clear confirmation that Chop was working with Sergey, but he belabored killing him, and it nearly cost him and Lotus their life. He was reminiscing about friendship and going out with him, but his bosses told him to make the move and he refused, which is insane. They should have killed him for that. Also, Lotus overheard Chop talking about betraying them on the phone, so why didn’t she tell Reaper? That would have given him the motivation to go after this man. Why would she keep that to herself?

Speaking of not making sense, how did Lotus and Reaper both get shot and were out of the hospital like a week later? Not only were they out of the hospital a week later, but Reaper was back on missions.

The sex scenes though were a 10/10. Even Reaper had dom energy seeping out of his pores, I didn’t see that epilogue coming. Overall, I enjoyed the story. A solid 4 stars from me.

Reaper and Lotus, When Your Past Becomes Your Peace

This book left me emotionally spent!!!…From the beginning to the end, this was an emotional roller coaster!!!…You can feel the pain deep in Reaper’s soul and it was as if you were reliving those memories with him!!!…To watch someone take your whole family, you will never know what that does to someone mentally, emotionally and physically!!!…I was happy that 13 yo Reaper had the strength to defend his mother’s honor!!!…
Lil Miss Ninah beautiful spirit touched something in Me Angry Man and you can feel his defenses lowering!!!…
Lotus had a story within, and just like a woman, she smiled through her pain and her child brought about strength she had no clue lived inside of her!!!…Her father had a date with Karma and I waited for it!!!…When she finally opened up about what her father did to her and then passed her off to his brother broke my heart!!!…I had to put the book down for a minute!!!…
Sergey and Chop was one and the same and their desire to rule, left them with Karma standing on their neck!!!…They cared about nothing but themselves, despite the loyalty given from the ppl that surrounded them!!!…
I was glad that Lotus was able to get through to Reaper for him to let Shane go with her child because Chop left her out here on her own and in the dark!!!…
I can’t wait to see what awaits Havoc now that it’s confirmed that he has a big brother out here!!!…I hope that settles Reaper even more because he needs peace for his tormented soul!!!…
