Kings of Retribution MC Series

I've read my share of MC romance series and the Kings of Retribution MC Series by sister writing duo Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez is hands down one of the best.  These men are alpha-licious, and it's wonderful seeing them brought down to their knees by the women they fall in love with.  Now, for the first time, you can read all 7 books in a series box set - which is fantastic.  
​All those men grouped together - yeah, it's the stuff of fantasies.  If you've read these books before, go back and visit these emotional and deeply romantic stories.  If you're brand new to the Kings' world, its so great to have the whole series right at your fingertips.  Daniels and Alvarez have created a world that you won't want to miss and now is your chance to get acquainted - or reacquainted. Keep reading to see my reviews of the individual books in the series.  I definitely recommend reading them in order because a lot of events play into each other in each book.

My Thoughts

This book was so emotional I couldn't put it down.  Logan and Bella's story was beautiful but intense. The dangers they faced would have brought down a lesser couple and honestly, what Bella has to go through brought me to tears.  Bella is such a great and strong character and I loved the relationship she has with Alba, her sister.  Seeing Logan fall for Bella was so gratifying and wonderful.  I highly recommend this book - it was a fantastic start to the series.

My Thoughts

Holy Alpha - I loved Gabriel. He basically falls for Alba at first sight but foolishly pushes her away "for her own good".  Alba is such a sweet character and it was really great to see her overcome her heartbreak and become the strong woman she was meant to be.  I loved how Gabriel was tough and gruff with everyone except Alba - with her he was so sweet.  The danger in this book was scary and I liked how it played out.  I loved this book and it had me eager to read the next instalment.

My Thoughts

Reid's story is a sad one and he has a good reason for being and acting miserable.  It was so nice to see him come out of his bitter fog because of Mila and her daughter, Ava.  Mila, a single mom, is a sweet character who is also dealing with a lot.  Her and Reid need each other and make each other better people, and that is beyond romantic.  I loved their story and found my heart aching along with theirs.

My Thoughts

I loved reuniting with Bella and Logan. This shorter story was heartbreaking to read because of personal experience but also so rewarding.  I always love when a series returns to a couple and gives us more.  The book was also a great stepping stone towards the next story. I love how each book in the series lays down the foundation for the next - which is so important when you are building a world and revisiting characters.

My Thoughts

Ah, finally! Grace and Jake's story - the one we were waiting for since book one.  If any of the men from the Kings deserves to be happy, it is Jake. He's always been there for all of his men, he's suffered extreme loss in his life, and he needs his happy ending.  This one was intense and there were tears along the way, but it was so satisfying in the end.  The farther along we get in this series, the better it is.

Lost King - #6

The funny thing about fate—about life, is you never know what the next day holds. Live with no regrets.
Quinn Beckett, Sergeant at Arms for the Kings of Retribution MC knows life is all about what you make of it. He has dedicated years to his club, his family, his community and the members he calls his brothers. For Quinn, he couldn’t imagine life getting much better.
Until a chance meeting a couple of years ago with a bright, attractive doctor altered his course in life. She became his only desire—his obsession.
Quinn wanted nothing more than to make Emerson his.
To outsiders Emerson Evans had all the things in life you could ever hope for; family, friends and a great career, but what they didn’t know was she wasn’t happy. All her life she chased dreams—dreams that were only partly her own. Being a doctor means everything to her, but she finds herself longing for more out of life.
Including wanting a sexy, long-haired biker, who happens to be part of the local MC.
The very Club that fate decided was to be a part of her life.
She could never have foreseen that giving her heart away and loving a man so fiercely would be the source of strength she would lean on when the unexpected happens.

My Thoughts

They don't make 'em better than Quinn. Man oh Man, I've been waiting for his book since we met him.  He's always been my favourite of the Kings.  And seeing his interactions with Emerson in the past books was always funny. So I was so excited that they got their own love story.  It was so worth the wait. As usual, this book was emotional and beyond romantic. I think these writers are just fantastic and they know exactly what their readers want.

My Thoughts

What a great way to end the series - by bringing to favourites, Sam and Sofia, and putting them together.  I loved their story and it was well worth the wait.  I first met Sofia when I met Riggs, which is the first book in the Louisiana chapter.  So I was so glad to go back and see what her story entailed.  She is such a great character - and so is Sam.  Both strong and brave and a really good match.  I finished feeling very satisfied, but also eager to read the Louisiana chapter - I need more from these authors!
