NOTE: This is the third Royal Bastards book that @authorkwebster has written. KOYN, COPPER, and DRAGON are her three contributions to the collection. DRAGON won’t make much sense unless you read, at least, COPPER.
DRAGON is an amazing story. There is so much trauma in this story, but the characters’ strengths are beautiful to watch. DRAGON has survived things most of us couldn’t even imagine and even though he’d like to leave behind all the bad memories he can’t. Koyn, the President of the Royal Bastards Tulsa Chapter, has assigned him the task of keeping an eye on Cove, the newest Prospect and recent victim of the same monster Dragon survived years ago. Seeing Cove and dealing with Cove’s two sisters keep the trauma in the forefront of Dragon’s mind.
Cove is reckless and sassy and dealing with him drives Dragon crazy. But, there is something about Cove that also pulls him in like a magnet. Soon, keeping Cove safe becomes a necessity for his own sanity rather than just a job given to him by his Prez. When Dragon’s nightmare rears his head again, he is forced to face his nightmare all over again. He’ll do anything to save the ones he loves, but this time Dragon has someone fighting for him. Maybe together Dragon and Cove can destroy the evil once and for all.
Watching Dragon and Cove’s relationship develop is wonderful, but there are moments of heartbreak, too. I’m definitely sad to see the Royal Bastards Tulsa Chapter stories come to an end....more
Ahhhh, Blake Mahone. Tough ass biker with a soft, mushy inside. His heart is so big - even if he doesn't want to admit it to himself or let others seeAhhhh, Blake Mahone. Tough ass biker with a soft, mushy inside. His heart is so big - even if he doesn't want to admit it to himself or let others see. He is an amazing dad to his son, Ash. Too bad the girl he thought he would spend his life with didn't care about him or their family as much as he thought. Lately, Jodi, his girlfriend of ten years has been disappearing for long periods of time and looking rougher and rougher as the days go by. Money keep disappearing from Blake's bank account and he knows she's into something bad. He's finally had enough when he comes home to find Ash home alone, dirty and hungry. When Jodi finally show up and he asks where she's been for the last two day she goes nuts. After telling her to get out and never come back, he hopes he never sees her again. But, as the saying goes, a bad penny always turns up.
Gabby Morgan is ready to start her first day as a Kindergarten teacher. She is excited and nervous, but ready to start this new part of her life. Finally, making some progress toward her goals after recovering from a horrifying experience as a result of a bad relationship, Gabby is ready to get on with it.
Gabby's first interaction with Blake isn't under the best circumstances. First of all, Ash shows up to her class late and then, Blake is late picking him up at the end of the day. When the loud motorcycle pulls up outside the school she doesn't expect Ash to go running for the sexy man riding it. She doesn't want to be attracted to this irritating man, but she can't help the feelings that run through her body as she looks at him. Over the next several days and weeks she has to continually wait for Black to show up to pick up Ash. He always promises never again, but he just can't seem to help it. Is this a man that she can count on?
Ash loves Gabby and is always trying to get her to come around to spend time with him and Blake. Blake can't seem to say no and always gives in to him. Eventually, Gabby is spending more and more time with them and falling deeper and deeper in love with both boys. But, remember that bad penny? It turns back up and causes A LOT of problems. Not only for Blake and Ash, but for Blake's motorcycle club, The Spartan Riders. And even worse, for Gabby because in addition to being a drug addict, a cheater, and a liar, she's also jealous.
I really enjoyed Blake and Gabby's story. It was a one-sitting read for me. As a former teacher and school librarian, I always love reading stories involving teachers falling in love with badass men. I appreciate a man that accepts that teaching is an important calling.
I can't wait for book two, METTLE, which is Country's story. It's due to come out later this year....more
