Scratch (Devil's Boneyard, MC 2)

A Dixie Reapers Bad Boys Romance

By: Harley Wylde

Narrated by: Umi Markkanen

Clarity—I’ve been on my own since I was 16, and I’ve fought tooth and nail to make a life for myself and the son I never planned to have. Caleb is my entire world, despite the circumstances of his birth. Being homeless a second time certainly hadn’t been in my life plans, so when a gruff yet sexy biker offers a bit of help, how can I possibly say no? Doesn’t hurt that the older man is easy on the eyes, and he’s so good with Caleb. I’d thought I wasn’t able to trust anyone ever again, but looking into his eyes, I know deep down he’d never hurt us. It just never occurred to me that I’d fall completely in love with him.

Scratch—The young woman and kid I find sleeping outside my club’s chop shop make me feel things I shouldn’t. Hell, she’s younger than my damn daughter, but it’s obvious she’s been to hell and back, and she’s still fighting. There’s fire in her soul, but the gentle way she treats her son leaves me wanting things I shouldn’t. Like a new chance at a family. What the hell would she want with a man 30 years older than her? When I took her home with me, I never counted on wanting to keep her. I’ll slay her demons, bury the monsters from her past, and then I’ll do the one thing I thought I’d never do...claim an old lady, then make her my wife.

Age gap. she needs protection.

Short and so sexy sweet! A 30 year age gap. Is that too much? Check it out.

I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narration brings these characters to life. Umi Markkanan has a pleasant sweet voice for the FMC. Her male voices are even very good. She's a narrator to follow. 5 stars plus for her.

Scratch

I love Harley Wylde's books. They are all so wonderfully written. They are short and sweet. There is a 30 year age gap. Clarity is in a tough spot with her and her son. Scratch is the VP to the Devil Boneyard MC's.

Great story

Clarity is in a tough spot. She has a son to think of and life keeps throwing her curve balls. Meeting Scratch, who is way older than she is, was not in the cards and neither expects to fall for the other. It is an interesting story and I rather enjoyed it.

Fierce Kitten

Clarity "Kitten" (Parkhurst) Davis and her son Caleb have had such a rough go of things. I adore how Damon "Scratch" stepped in to help and his regular reassurances that they are safe.

While the whole book is fantastic, Clarity claiming Scratch was the bomb! Absolute perfection! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen who continues to do a terrific job with all the characters.

Scratch

Love Mc romances. I love this series I think that I have read them all so I am enjoying listening to them on my commute to work

I LOVED IT!

I really enjoy agedifference romance stories especially when they involve little kids. I love big bad hard @ss biker that become mush with a baby or little kids. My only complete about this book is there wasn't enough excitement and suspense. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Romantic

Today I listened to Scratch by Harley Wylde. I have been on a roll listening to her audiobooks lately, and this one didn’t disappoint. The main characters are Scratch, VP. of Devil’s Boneyard MC, and Clarity, a homeless woman who lives on the streets with her two year old son. The book is Safe, meaning no cheating or SA; prior SA is mentioned with no details given. Tropes include Age Gap (Wylde is VERY fond of the Age Gap trope), Damsel in Distress, Instalove, and Found Family, with an Adorable Moppet on the side. I do love the Instalove. It’s fun even though it’s not a reliable indicator of a realistic relationship, but to be real, I’m in this partly for the escapist fantasy factor. The book is mostly romantocentric; not a lot of other plot. But that’s okay. The characters are so charmingly written that it’s a pleasure to see them get together. 🌋🌋🌋🌋, with liberal use of the P word.

Age-Gap MC Romance

This is the second book in the Devil's Boneyard, MC. Clarity and Scratch's story is entertaining and original, filled with twists and turns. I liked this opposites attract romance. Scratch is much older (30 years age-gap). He is protective and supportive. Clarity is smart, strong, and determined. Her son Caleb is adorable. The world building is interesting. Umi Markkanen did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listening to more books in the series. #StoryOrigin
