Blurb: 

From award-winning author E.M. Shue comes a forced proximity MC romance with a twist of fate.

Reaper’s life is made up of lies, his identity fake. For twelve years, Klay Ulrich has been deep undercover masquerading as the road captain for the Drago Defiance MC. His assignment is to bring down human traffickers running in motorcycle clubs. But when his eyes land on the beautiful wallflower from the Devil’s Handmaidens, something in him shifts. For the first time in a long time, he wants someone to know the real him. Reaper’s new mission is to make the quiet artist his while carrying on with his directive.

River “Jinx” Schmidt lives her life behind the scenes, quietly creating her art. Racing is the only thing that gets her out of the shadows and gets her blood pumping. When her club asks her to meet with the road captain from Drago Defiance MC to go over the upcoming racing season, she doesn’t expect the intense connection. Reaper is big, dominating, and in complete control of every beat of her heart and the breath from her body. Jinx is suddenly finding racing isn’t the only thing she craves.

When Reaper and Jinx find themselves stuck in a small town, locked down for twenty-four hours, Reaper will seize his chance and put everything on the line. But when they return to their normal lives, Jinx will have to deceive her club and best friend in order to protect Reaper’s secrets and him.

Caught up in the mystique of Pandora, Kentucky, where luck and fate are intertwined, Reaper and Jinx will learn good fortune depends on the choices they make. Whether they triumph over or succumb to a fabled 100-year-old curse is up to them.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. Jinx and Reaper crashed together. There was plenty of action, steamy scenes, secrets, and danger to push them apart and together. Reaper was undercover, but he grew to enjoy the MC life and family. He knew that Jinx and the Handmaiden's were working to stop trafficking, but there were threats from outside places. Their quick stop in Pandora went very wrong, but they were able to survive, though they ended up apart because of the threats toward Jinx. I will be reading Rattled to see how it all turns out.

This is my unsolicited review.
