Kings and Sinners by Alta Hensley & Maggie Ryan | Book Review

Sep. 10, 2018

This book may be unsuitable for people under 17 years of age due to its use of sexual content, drug and alcohol use, and/or violence.

Kings and Sinners by Alta Hensley & Maggie Ryan | Book Reviewfour-stars
Kings and Sinners by Maggie Ryan, Alta Hensley
Genres: Dark Romance

We don’t seek forgiveness for our sins

Prey on the weak –
Defile the innocent –

And you will pay the price

Judgment has been made
Sentence has been decided
Breaking the only law that matters – our law – has but one price -

Death

Their mission is simple, their code unbreakable. To those who cross them, they are judge, jury and executioner. To those who come under their protection – they are more than brothers. More than men whose souls are stained by sin. They are kings.

*Includes complete trilogy of: Maddox, Stryder, Anson

Review


This is three books in one which I am thrilled about. The reason is I could go straight to the next one as soon as I finished the first. It also meant that anything unsettled from the previous book could be settled in the next. It was the perfect continuation from book to book. I had never read any of these books so it was a wonderful chance to have something to read over the weekend. Each woman for the guys came from a different country which I think added a lot to the story. My favorite character was Jennie. There was just something about her that made me wish she would have her own book.

Maddox is the first book and in it  we meet all of the men of  Black Stallion Ranch. We also got to know more about their operation. While the horse ranch is the business the world sees their true business is saving people.  In this book we have Maddox helping save Adira while managing to get pretty cozy to her as well. Stryder was the next book and in it he saves Zoya. Both Stryder and Zoya have been through a bit more than either Maddox or Adira but that made their story all the much deeper for it.  Anson was the last and I think my favorite. His “save” was Natalia and he has spent six months working on recusing her. The thing about Natalia is she may not really need saving as she has her own agenda.

About Maggie Ryan

USA Today and #1 International Best Selling and Multi-award Winning Author in Victorian/ Historical, Contemporary, Western, and Paranormal Romance.

Fantasy is a world that offers endless possibilities. I love to write stories that are always sweet, extra spicy, and a little taboo. My favorite characters are strong, stern alpha males and sassy, capable women who discover that life without a bit of fire isn’t worth living. I hope you will curl up in your favorite chair and take the journey with me. Happy Reading!

    I’ve always loved the combo of the tough/rough around the edges guy and sassy girl stories. I like the sound of these, the storyline seems exciting and fresh. More for my tbr pile but I’m not complaining!

Mia
 
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school...
 
Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.
 
JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don't see myself as a "fling" kind of girl, maybe it's just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.
 
JT
 
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It's a place of serenity...to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.
 
Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
 
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
 
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.
 
Crime pays better.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
 
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
 
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
 
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
 
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
 
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
 
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
 
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
 
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
 
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
 
Wrong.
 
I’d definitely been noticed.
