AshleyWith marriage, there are things you can and can’t live with.Harry, my abusive husband, made that clear enough when he beat me like a dog, forced a miscarriage on me, and tried posing me as a hostage to my father’s notorious biker gang, The Reapers. I was lucky enough to get out of my marriage in one piece but it’s only a matter of time before he picks up my trail and hunts me down. … down. Blackjack––swears he’ll kill him the second he steps foot in town. I know he means well but there’s something about his stare when he tells me I deserve better. A part of me wants to believe I deserve someone like him and yet my bruises are telling me never to trust another man again. But Blackjack isn’t like any other man. Is he?
Blackjack
When I enlisted into the army, I didn’t think I’d have anything or anyone to lose––except for her. Ashley Monroe, the blonde wild-child of Montana’s Reapers MC. It shouldn’t have been a surprise when I came back home years later to find out that she left town and ended up married. Life went on of course and I was fortunate enough to have Dex, a son of my own. Three years later, Ashley came back beaten and broken from her marriage. I’ve never wanted to kill a man so bad in my entire life. Just one look at her and I’m drowning with the urge to hold her in my arms and tell her that she’s safe with me, truly. Sometimes I wonder if there’s still enough strength in both of us for a second shot in life.

The Reapers MC series is a must, if you like action packed romances with scenes that will break your heart one minute, heal it on another, and then make your toes curl the next.
Elizabeth can write the hell out this type romance and Blackjack is proof.
In the first book of this series, we meet Ashley who is in a terribly horrific circumstance involving her abusive husband. When things go from bad to worse, threatening from a rival MC to take down her Pops – she knows that she has to return home. Not only to protect her own life, but to warn her Dad. When she finally makes it back to the safety of her childhood home, Ash didn’t expect to be nursed back to health by the one man that has truly owned her heart from the beginning.
Blackjack has returned to the MC and is readjusting to normal life when Ashley returns, broken and bruised, he vows to protect her and never let this happen again.
As the two of them rebuild their relationship, the flames that never died between them turn into an inferno. But when the Reaper’s rival MC, the Grizzlies, come and demand for Ashley to be returned since she is the property of one of their men – Blackjack does what he swears he should’ve done years ago, instead of running from her, he plans to claim her as his own.
But will Ashley’s father, her one true love, and the rest of the Reapers be able to fully protect her when they finally make the move to put everything to rest and get their final revenge for what was done to Ashley?
This book, holy mother, this book – it does have some explicitly descriptive scenes of abuse in the beginning. But, Elizabeth wrote them with a finesse that drew me in, because she wrote Ashley not as a victim but a survivor. She is such a strong female character that I found myself drawn into this story (like every Knox book I have read) and rooting for them in such a way that I couldn’t set down my kindle until I reached the end. This story is no different, Knox has this amazing ability to build a world that you get lost in with characters that will stick with you and make an imprint on your heart to the point that you can’t wait to read the next story that Knox puts out.

I do not know where to begin with this book. It jumps right into some action and it was harsh, heart pounding, gut wrenching and maddening! I was like wholly cow what the hell girl. The main character Ashley Monroe is a tough chick. She literally has one of the happy moments in life ripped away. Her husband Harry is part of the Bears MC and well I hate this guy. No joke. Then she ends up back at home. Which you find out that she belonged to an MC as well known as the Reapers. So when her family finally sees her for the first time it is not good. So what happens? Blackjack happens! He is there for her but she is fighting a lot of emotions. Can she overcome everything? Will she get her independence or go back to her crazy husband? Geez, this book was so good. I was in it after the first paragraph and finished in one setting. This is so intense and there is heat. I could not put it down and I want more. This is a must read book.

Wow! I was enthralled with Blackjack from the first page! Suspense and action packed drama with a few steamy scenes.
Blackjack fell for Ashley, princess of the Reapers MC, when she was only sixteen. Since he was older he joined the military so he wouldn’t have to face her father’s fury and possible death. Fist is the Prez of the Reapers MC.
When Blackjack left with not so much as a goodbye, young and naive Ashley settled for Harry, the Bears MC. She wasn’t aware of how abusive he could be until after their marriage. After being beaten so badly and the risk of losing her child she finally found the courage to leave.
Blackjack and Ashley are reunited and the sparks are still there.
War is on the brink if Ashley doesn’t return to Harry and the Bears MC. What will she do? How can Blackjack keep her from returning to the BearsMC?
I strongly recommend this fabulous book!

Ashley is a strong woman but her husband found a way to bring her down. His abusiveness almost ended her and Ashley’s only choice was to escape. Now she is back home healing with her father and the MC family. Blackjack was one of the MC brothers that Ashley had an interest in as a teenager. He left to enter the army to coverup his feelings for someone who was way too young for him. Now that she is back home, can there be a chance for them to finally have a happily ever after and can he keep shley safe from her ex husband? Although the story is a good one there are areas that could have been better developed as well as grammatical and spelling errors.

Ashley and Blackjack have a second chance to be together. He was a lot older than her. When he left to go in the Army she was at loos ends. The man she marries could be the death of her literally. When he finds out she’s pregnant he beats her really bad. She finds the nerve to sneak out of the house and take his car and returns home to Montana and her father Fist, Prez of the Reapers. This book could cause triggers for some. There’s violence, physical abuse, but in the end there is HEA.
Ashley leaves her abusive husband and his MC. The only place for her to run to is back home. Blackjack loves Ash but due to her being his prez’s daughter he leaves breaking Ashley’s heart.
When Ashley’s husband comes looking for her and his club invokes old bylaws Blackjack steps in to protect the woman he loves. Little does Harry( Ashley’s ex) and his club know…….you never mess with the Reaper’s MC or their princess.
Trigger warning- domestic abuse
Ashley is married to a drunk Bear’s [rival) member that beats her daily and when he found out she was pregnant well he took a steal pipe to her stomach. She waits for the perfect time to run after hearing plans involving her club and especially the president, her father.
Blackjack is a single father of a 9 year old son, patched member of the Reapers but he still pines for the one who got a way, Ashley. He had to leave for the Army since she was 16 when he fell for her, so he had to leave their club and his son, Dexin. I got a few things about Dex that’s been nagging me to mention. Soon.
When a bruised, beaten and broken Ashley finally come home, she’s scared if her fat will be opened arms waiting for her. I’ve read many, many m.club romance and only a hand full had loving parents, well this one is another to add to that list. Her father is thrilled to have her back and is prepared to protect his baby girl at all costs even if he has to force her to be branded by a member just for added protection. Daddy knew if Blackjack there his baby will be loved, cared and protected. But the ex husband isn’t quitting to get his hands back on Ashley….
Now for Dex, Blackjack’s son, BJ doesn’t want his son around the clubhouse, but the kid is there a lot. BJ never even introduced Ashley to his son nor mentioning that his getting a new wife to his son. We see Dex maybe 3 times in this whole story. Where is Dex when the new baby a year later has arrived. Seems he’s glossed over where BJ doesn’t seem to really care about his son. Seems to me that even Dex seems BJ don’t want to be his father, there no father son moments but a few Ashley Dex moments. That’s something I don’t like to read about a parent not spending time together like Dex / BJ

What an intense, full of action packed book. Ashley is married to an abusive, violent, jerk who took things to the extreme one night. Can she escape before it’s too late? I have loved every book by this amazing author. Looking forward to more.
I loved this book! From the very first page I was drawn in and couldn’t help falling in love with the characters. Ashley has been through hell and back with her husband and after hearing his plans to use her against her father’s MC she leaves going back to her family to save herself and her them. Blackjack and Ashley have a history together and when she comes back home he’s there to help her. Blackjack made the book for me. He’s tough, badass, and had such a big heart. Blackjack and Ashley’s story was a thrilling and sexy ride! A exceptional book from start to finish, one I definitely recommend.

Loved this story. She is a MC princess who left to marry a man that she didn’t really love. Blackjack sees her again after she returns home bruised and broken. Good read; hope to read more about this MC.

Blackjack is an excellent read from start to finish. Ashley and the things she had to contend with while she was with Harry is heartbreaking but needless to say that beautiful Blackjack made up for it in spades. I truly enjoyed this journey with these characters.

Loved this book and the series. After I read Bull I had to read the whole Reaper MC series and all of Skulls Renegad MC. I binge read them over days. I could not put them down. They can be read in any order but I recommend from book 1 on, I read Reaper first and then Skulls.
Ashley and Blackjack have a long history and this is their second chance to get it right. She is all grown up now, a bit broken but strong. He is determined to not let age hold him back, if he had made a move when she was 18 she would never have suffered so much.
I hope you enjoy it and all of them as much as I did. I will reread this series again.

Ashley is feisty and strong anything less and she would never have survived the abuse let alone got home. This story is a mix of violent and sweet, even with a threat looming over the club. Blackjack is easy to like, as are the bulk of club members. The villains come as no surprise. Great read.
Wow 5 star

Good grief! I hit the ground running with this! My heart didn’t stop racing from start to finish!
Ashley runs for her life after being attacked by her abusive husband, back home, to her Dad and The Reapers MC. But Harry isnt going to let her go easily. Blackjack has a fight on his hands but he will stop at nothing to protect Ashley.
Give me more of this series!!
A very real look into the MC world with intriguing characters, demanding emotional plots, and steamy sex!
This is my first book by this author and I know that I will continue with this series. I loved the MC and the characters were all great. They had they close knit family vibe that I love from biker romance novels. Ex drama, second chances and a biker club that would do anything to protect their own. I really enjoyed the ups and down that Ashley and Blackjack went through but they came up on the other side. 4 stars #2OCCJD
