4 Stars!

I’ve been insanely excited to read Puck’s book ever since I met him. Even though this is the start of a new series, it spins off from the end of the last Joanna Wylde book. I love MC books, but Joanna’s MC books are special MC books. They are consistently good. They’re the perfect amount of raw/grittiness without going over the top. They’re sweet and sexy without being too soft. And they always have great alpha heroes, strong heroines and a solid story. Silver Bastard was no exception. Puck is just out of jail and a full fledged Silver Bastard. Life is good. At a party to celebrate his

release, he sees the young and beautiful Becca Jones. Becca is the girl he has his eye on. She’s different from all the other girls there and he wants her. They have an incredible night, only to wake up and realize that Becca’s circumstances aren’t what he thought. Puck saves her and himself that day. And Becca has always been grateful for that. She decides to take this new start and make sure her life is different from the one she knew growing up. Fast forward five years later. Becca is living in the same town as Puck, but they haven’t spoken much as the years have went by. Becca’s been safe, been in school and working. Puck is doing what he does as a member of the SB’s. They’ve never forgotten each other. And they've had some events happen that led them to… reconnect. Becca has always seen Puck as special. As someone who’s saved her. Even though Puck doesn’t feel deserving of a girl like Becca, Becca knows he’s something else. He did something he didn't’ have to do and it changed her life forever.

I thought Becca was such a strong heroine. She was self sufficient. Proud. Strong. I loved this chick. She works hard, provides for herself and doesn't take crap from anyone. Puck was your typical biker in some ways. He was that bad ass biker who was alpha and domineering, but also had a soft spot for his woman. Once he claimed Becca as his, it was over. The spark and the chemistry between these two is off the charts hot from the beginning. No matter how hard they try to fight it, it’s palpable. And once they give in… it’s explosive. Becca and Puck don’t have an easy start to their story. It’s got a lot of bumps and bruises along the way. It’s complicated. But Puck’s loyalty to Becca makes all the difference. There is, with every Wylde book, that moment towards the end where the shit hits the fan.

You know what I’m talking about. This book had it. It broke my heart a little more than normal. I felt for Becca. It hurts to think someone who is supposed to love you could do you that way. But I was so glad that she had the closure she needed. And I’m glad she had Puck to support her and be there for her when she needed him. Becca, more than most, needs someone in her life that she can count on. And for once, she has that. Overall, this book was another fantastic addition to Joanna’s MC books. The ending was all kinds of perfect. I love the Reaper’s so much, and the Silver Bastard’s are shaping up to be just as great. Action packed, suspenseful, super steamy and completely enjoyable, Silver Bastard is one book you won’t want to pass up! It gets a full 5 stars from me!
