Julia
He stalked me from the shadows, watched my every move.
I shouldn’t have felt safe, but I did.
He bid his time until the day came when he picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, and decided that I was his. I tried to fight the idea, but pretending that I didn’t want to be his, that I didn’t crave it? It lasted all but a few hours. I knew I was his.
Then my own mother tried to get revenge.
She came back with a horrible person from my past to steal me back.
Little did she know, I belonged to Reaper and nobody steals what’s his.

Reaper
The moment I saw her I knew.
She was mine.
I watched her day and night, protecting her from afar. I waited until the time was right.
The second I saw her mother lay her hands on her? That was it. There was no holding back and certainly no going back.
She was in my home and in my bed.
She was my ole lady.
But someone from our past decided she was theirs. Stupid man. Nobody takes what’s mine.
I don’t care if I have to end the whole world in order to protect her.
Let the reaping begin.

Omg. This book had me hooked from first page. LeAnn Ashers sure knows how to grab your attention. I couldn't put book down once started.

I loved Reaper and Julia together, they really suit each other. Julia goes through a lot in this book and Reaper is there for her. Reaper has a hard past, but Julia makes it better for him.

I can't wait for more.

What can I say LeAnn has smashed it again with another 5 ⭐️ read and I’m in love with Reaper and Julia!!

This grumpy silent man is getting his sort and boy oh boy is it a good one!! Julia is the perfect girl for him and their connection is just so amazing. As with LeAnn books we get all the drama and all the feels and I couldn’t love it anymore!

I can’t recommend reading this book enough. This is book 3 in the series I would recommend reading books 1&2 before reading this one.

I read this book in one sitting and it did not disappoint. I felt like I was on the edge of my seat through most of it. Julia has had such a hard life, and been through so much, that one day Reaper steps in. He’s been watching over her for some time and when he saw what was happening from her mother - he got her out. Julia of course fought at first for a little bit but then came to realize she was free. They both have dark pasts but seem to be the perfect fit for one another. There were some dark things that happened to each of them and in this book that came back up to the surface. No matter what Reaper protected what was his - and he really does live up to his name. As always with the MC world LeAnn writes, I can’t wait for the next book.

Reaper was the third book in the Grimm Sinners Rebels MC by LeAnn Ashers.

Reaper was a patched member of the MC and a man of few words. Julia was stuck in a world where she owned a bakery - which she loved, and was responsible for the care of her mother - which she didn’t love. Her mother was abusive and cruel, bringing nothing but misery to Julia’s life.

Ashers brought her true to form over the top drama for an insta love introduction between Reaper and Julia followed by an action packed plot of violence and triumph to round out the storyline. Looks like Andrey and Nicole are up next.

Reaper just kidnapped Julia out of the shop, taking her away from her abusive mother and awakening the bloodthirsty ol’lady inside her, amd she enjoys giving justice to people who have hurt her loved ones.

3.5 ⭐️

Julia has been abused by her mother for far too long, and she gad a stalker who well isn't hiding his stalking lol. When she's at the store being abused by her mother again, that's when Reaper steps in he's done watching his girl be abused. "Kidnapping" her is what he does, and it's cute and sweet how he explains why he's been stalking her and treating her like a queen. It's so cute that we see them have cute dates, adopt a puppy, and share their truama.

Before they can relax, they are dealing with the lies the mother has told, also dealing with the drama Reapers abusive mother brings. Lots of drama in this one and some betrayal from the club that they didn't see coming.

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, pain, secrets, suspense, danger, and heartbreak.

If you have not read the below, I would recommend reading those books(s) first
Gage (Grim Sinners MC Rebels #1)
Knight (Grim Sinners MC Rebels #2)

This is Julia and Reaper’s story. Reaper was stalking Julia but when he saw her mother hurting her he jumped at the chance to protect her. Only thing is he kidnapped her in order to get her away. When he takes her she finds out things about her mother that she never knew and ends up cutting off her mother. She has been supporting and taking care of her mother for years. When that support is cut off her mother gets angry and comes after her. When that does not work, she sends other people to take care of getting Julia back and away from Reaper. Reaper saves her again and again but the damage is does. She is his and he will fight an entire war to keep it that way. Can they build a future with danger surrounding them? Or will he lose her to danger?

I highly recommend this book.

Continuing to love LeAnn’s books! Julia has grown up in an extremely abusive relationship with her mother after her father had passed away, and while she has made it into adulthood and built a successful business, she is still abused by her mother even after giving her everything she wants. Reaper has noticed Julia and has found out about the abuse that she tries to hide and starts to stalk her in hopes of rescuing her at the first moment the abuse happens in public. Thankfully that happens and Reaper swoops in to take Julia away from her mother and she finds that she’s ok with him essentially kidnapping her. This starts the ripple effect of finding out who Julia’s mother really is and the bigger situation that is in line for her because of that. In the midst of all this, we see Reaper and Julia fall in love and while the romance is insta-love (like most all of LeAnn’s books), I find that I don’t mind it because I’m enthralled with her books and read them so quickly. Can’t wait for the next book!

I LOVED IT!

I really loved this book. But the reason I only gave it 4 stars is because the editing was so terrible. I absolutely love LeAnn's books but she needs a new editor, they suck. Overall I loved the story. I never expected Reaper to be so sweet. Julia's character is strong but vulnerable. She suffers abuse from her so called mother. Or should I say monster? Julia owns the local bakery which is where Reaper sees her for the first time and it's an instant attraction for them both. From that day on Reaper doesn't let her out of his sight so he knows she's being abused but he doesn't know how bad it really is until he follows Julia and her monster into a store to watch over her and what he sees makes him see fire and what happens next will have you laughing because you just know Reaper isn't like any one else. He's got some serious demons. There are so many surprises around every corner. The suspense and mystery is intense and the more that gets revealed will leave you thinking Wtf? How can she take much more. The closer Reaper and Julia get is so heartwarming because these two really need each other. She needs a family and he just needs love. And let me tell you these are off the charts smokin hot! I can't wait to read Andrey's book. Nicole is a new addition to the MC family and I'm not sure she's cut out for it. We'll see. I highly recommend this series to everyone.

I received and ARC and this is my honest review.

Julia was definitely an awesome FMC. At first I thought she was gonna be this very soft character all trough the story but oh no this girl took her pain and decide to be a fighter. Which is a perfect match for Reaper. Together they are perfect! They each have their own over protectiveness towards each other and they also have so much love to give.

This wasn’t one of my fav of this author but still an awesome read.

I say this every time I review one of LeAnn Ashers' books, but OMG!
It's just amazing how she can pull me into their world so completely.
After every book, I think surely they can't get any better, but every time I'm proved wrong, they get better and better.
Im blown away. There is so much action, so many outside forces trying to interrupt their HEA, u dont want to put it down.
Reaper is sooo swoon worthy and deadly, Julia is sweet, loyal and a complete badass, the perfect match in my eyes.

LeAnn, you will ALWAYS be one of my absolute favourite authors. Please never stop writing ❤️

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

JULIA
He stalked me from the shadows, watched my every move. I shouldn't have felt safe, but I did. He bid his time until the day came when he picked me up, threw me over his shoulder and decided that i was his. I tried to fight the idea but pretending that I didn't want to be his, that I didn't crave it? It lasted all of a few hours. I knew I was his. Then my own mother tried to get revenge. She came back with a horrible person from my past to steal me back. Little did she know, I belonged to Reaper and nobody steals what's his.
REAPER
The moment I saw her I knew. She was mine. I watched her day and night, protecting her from afar. I waited until the time was right. The second I saw her mother lay her hands on her? That was it. there was no holding back and certainly no going back. She was in my home and in my bed. She was my ole lady. But someone from our past decided she was theirs. Stupid man. Nobody takes what's mine. I don't care if I have to end the whole world in order to protect her. Let the reaping begin.

When you pick this book up, you are not going to be able to put it down. I was hooked from the very beginning. Reaper and Julia have quite the story to tell. Reaper is her stalker basically and he knew that from the first moment he saw her, that she was his. So he watched her day and night until the day he decided that she was his and he let her know that by slinging her over his shoulder and taking her. He isn't much of a talker but more a man of action. He is certainly going to steal your heart just like he did Julia's. She fell for him hard and knew that he was watching her from a distance. She has not had a easy life and an event is when he takes her and I just felt like Julia needed to be taken out of that situation and he literally saves her. But the past is about to come back and with a man like Reaper, you don't ever want to try to take anything that is his. He is never going to let that happen. I loved reading this book. It hooks you from the beginning and flew by because I did not lay it down one time.

Last week has been freaking amazing in the reading category...lol because I've just finished my second MC book and was about to start another one...
Happy doesn't even cover the way I was feeling, because not only do I love the genre, but I also love the author.
LeAnn Ashers had the ability to hook me up with just one book, and since then, I can't get enough.
Her writing is wild, intense, raw, and dangerous with a touch of hotness into the mix,
Reaper is her latest release and it's the third book from the Grim Sinners Rebels series.
This book explores the lives of Julia and Reaper.
These two have one thing in common. Both their mothers are a piece shi*** and abusive.
Whereas Reaper could escape, Julia couldn't.
Since the first time Reaper saw her, he knew that she would be his. He just had to wait for the right time to take her.
And when he did...
Dear God, this book...This book killed me with all that was happening.
One minute things were going one way and the next it took a turn.
stellar plot, well written, super engaging, and dark.
Once I started to read it, I didn't stop for anything and read it in one sitting.
But not everything is bad, because we have the privilege to witness a love story, and GOD, I loved it.
The danger that lurked in the shadows left me fearing for their safety.
These two are perfect for each other and the chemistry they share is amazing.
Loved every single bump on the road, every danger, and went bananas with the hot stuff.
Another amazing book LeAnn, and I can't wait for the next one.

Wow, what’s not to love about a bad to the bone biker who has a soft side for his woman and a puppy!!! Ms. Ashers has written an amazing storyline for Reaper and Julia, the owner of the local bakery. Reaper has been stalking Julia from the moment he laid eyes on her and he’s not the least bit ashamed of it. He knew she was meant for him from the first time he walked into her bakery. He is simply waiting for the right time to grab her up. As for Julia, she knows he’s there, watching her, she just doesn’t know why. But for some reason, considering all she has to endure at home taking care of her hateful mother, he gives her a sense of peace. But when her mother picks the wrong public setting to throw a fit and abuse her, Reaper has had enough and steps in, grabs her and takes her to his home. Little do they both know this crazy act will be the least of their worries as trouble soon follows. As their connection grows so does the trouble and soon it spreads to the club.

This is a great read with lots of suspense, action, romance and a few laughs along the way. Outstanding addition to the series and this reader can’t wait for more.

I loved Reaper and Julia's story! LeAnn Ashers continues to amaze me with the addicting stories and enthralling characters she brings us.
Julia is abused by her mother and Reaper, who has been watching Julia, has had enough and decides to grab her and take her away from the constant abuse.
Julia surprises me and overcomes her personal demons and becomes an Ol Lady that we come to expect for any Grim Sinner.
Reaper makes me happy! He had a dark and sad time growing up that shaped him into the man we know. He is complete Alpha and takes what he wants and it just so happens that he wants Julia.
What a great pair they are! You can feel the love they have for each other grow throughout the story.
This is another homerun for Ms. Ashers and I advise that you grab a copy of Reaper, settle in your most comfy seat with a glass of wine and immerse yourself into the wonderful, crazy world that only LeAnn Ashers can bring.

4.5 Stars!

LeAnn Ashers is back with the next book in the Grim Sinners MC Rebels series and what a ride this was. Not a huge MC romance but LeAnn knocks it out of the park with her rough and tough guys and y'all... swooooon. This series has been crazy good and this beauty right here is already at the top of the re-read pile.

Reaper gives us Reaper and Julia's story and right from the very beginning these two hooked me hard and fast. I was glued to the pages.. not coming up from air until the pages quit turning. This romance was packed to the brims with heart, heat, suspense, twists, insta-everything, and allllll of those pesky must-have feels. Reaper was *allllll the heart eyes* and Julia will twist up your heart. These two.. *sigh*

I cannot wait for the next in this MC series and the next hit book from the crazy talented LeAnn Ashers.

I can't recommend this author and series enough y'all.

I have loved all the MC books that Leann Asher has written, I think I have found my new favorite biker in Reaper. Julia has been living a life of hell taking care of her abusive mother. She is caught between wanting to leave and wanting to do what she promised her father to take care of her mother. Reaper has been watching Julia and when he finally had had enough of watching her mother abuse her he took matters into his own hands and took her. I absolutely love this grumpy broody biker. He is so protective and caring with Julia it melts your heart. Once Julia gives in and becomes his she becomes his protector as well and will go to crazy lengths to make those who hurt him suffer. These two are an amazing couple and i loved reading their story. It was fast paced and action packed. It has everything you want in a fantastic MC romance. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.

There is so much that can be said about this Heartbreakingly beautiful book that leann ashers has given us. I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry. This story was an absolute roller-coaster of ups and downs and not knowing which way your heart is going to pulled. There is just so much I love. This is one of those books you can't put down.

Reaper is AMAZING!!!!!! That is all I am going to say about him. Julia honestly didn't know her worth but she sure found the right path to locate it. Reaper and Julia are the best kind of fire cracker being let off.....beautiful. They end up being more perfect for each other than even they realised.

I would absolutely recommend this book and author to anyone who loves an epic story with twists and turns. I hope you love this book as much as I have. Happy Reading ♡

What is a woman to do when her stalker finally steps up and takes action! I'll tell you what they need to do they need to bring the man to his knees. When Reaper first lays eyes on Julia he knows he wants her to be his. When he decides to take action he shows her what her life should be like. How to live her life without being mistreated. I will say there is more to Julia than meets the eyes. When we first meet her she seems like a quiet shy and a bit naïve young woman just trying to live her life. As the story goes on we see that she does have a bit of steel in her backbone. She is not afraid do what she needs to do for those she counts as family. These two are perfect for each other since Reaper isn't afraid to do what needs to be done.
This story was well written and fast paced and will keep you entertained.

On the fence

I’d say 2.5 stars, it would have been a four or mayb a five if it wasn’t for the level of torture and the enjoyment that both Reaper and Julia have in doing it.
Julia is a baker and Reaper is part of the Grim Sinners and it got really detailed in torture techniques and how not just Reaper but Julie whose supposed to have been looking after her disabled mum for years is soo happy and almost excited about doing it.

I was a bit disappointed in it, it was like the girls personality changed, I also didn’t think that if you shot up any place in the middle of the day that no one would have called the police, yet the Main Street was the scene of a shoot out!! Ii know it’s fiction and needs some level of artistic license but just seemed off, maybe if there had been silencers or something, x

Reaper & Julia

A six-star winner for sure. I love this one and can not wait for more of the Grim Sinners and their women.

I don't want to discuss the beginning. It is a riot. Let's just say Reaper sees what he wants and takes it. If it's human she'll just have to get used to it, although looking at him sure isn't hard.

She's a baker and has a successful business. Then trouble starts. Who is after her or are they after the club? More enemies. Will there be another war?

Great characters, friends, and unexpected enemies. This one has plenty of action, strong women, possessive loving men, steam galore, and a story you won't forget or a book you can't put down.

The author never fails her fans and it holds true with Reaper.

Stop please read Gage and Knight first. You will get a better understanding of what's happening.

If you are feeling frisky read from the very beginning.

Now with Julia and Reaper, one word wow. Julia has always taken care of her mother but that came to an abrupt stop when she was abruptly kidnapped.

Now here is where is gets good. Reaper may or may not have had a hand in that craziness.

By the time everything comes out in the open Reaper is already knee deep well heart deep with Julia. All the up and downs in this book well this series just keeps you hooked. With each passing book I just keep thinking it can't get any better then this. I an proven wrong every time.

I really hope she never stops writing.

I am completely obsessed with Reaper and Julia! Reaper is my favorite hero from this awesome lady and he will be hard to top. Not a big talker, he is very much a man of action. For all his big, tough, scarred exterior, I desperately wanted to hug him. Julia falls for him so quickly and I would do the same if he came and took me away from a painful life. He wants to protect her at all costs and is completely floored when she wants to do the same for him. The energy, the connection between them was mesmerizing, I couldn't tear myself away from this story. Beautiful and fierce, this couple is everything to me!

This is the third book in this phenomenal series, and this is Reaper and Julia’s story. Julia has had a tough upbringing being mentally and physically abused by her vindictive mother, and Reaper knew as soon as he waked into her bakery that she is the one destined for him. Reaper steps in to protect Julia when her mother goes to far, and takes her to the MC. This is a well written story which is action packed, an emotional roller coaster, with danger, suspense, intrigue, twists, revenge, rivals, and love, which leads to an entertaining and steamy addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

I absolutely loved this latest book in the Grim Sinners series. Reaper has been watching Julia from afar for awhile now. Julia knows he is there and secretly loves it. Reaper is a quiet man but when he sees something he wants, he takes it. When Julia is being harmed, he whisks her away to his house and insists on keeping her. Julia is enamored by Reaper and falls for him just as quick as Reaper falls for her. The connection they share is undeniable, the chemistry hot as hell. I was hooked from beginning to end and loved every minute of it. Another fantastic story and one that I recommend. I can't wait for the next book in this amazing series. Well done!!

LOVE Reaper!!

LeAnn Ashers has written another great entry into the Grim Sinners Rebels series! Each one of these books has been awesome, and Reaper has added nicely to the group. Reaper has been “stalking” Julia and quietly seething at the hideous treatment she’s been getting from her mother, who is in a wheelchair; right up until she assaults her. That is the last straw for Reaper and he kidnaps/saves her, in true Grim Sinners Rebels form, and takes her home to his house in the compound. I couldn’t put it down until I finished it, then I hated it was over! Loved it, just as much as the others!
