King
Shit keeps piling up and my calm composer is quickly slippin'.
The need to get the girls back is like hellhound breathin' down my neck.
But the question is, how do I do that and keep everyone safe?
I might just have to lose control in order to gain it.

Wren
My life has been a shit-show up to this point, and it seems that's not going to lessen anytime soon.
I've struggled most of my life with the darkness that fights to escape. 
Constantly running from my past.
I refuse to be anything like either of the people who created me, but that just might be exactly what I need to break free.

King is the third book in the Ruthless Heathens series. An interconnected series with different characters in each book. You must read books one and two first. The books get progressively darker with each new story. Please check Trigger Warnings before proceeding as some content may be difficult for some readers.

This book continues the journey of finding and bringing back the missing girls. Particularly Wren and Willow.

This is primarily the story of King and Wren but since Willow is with Wren in Mexico their journeys are similar. Wren relies on her memories of her time with King to help her deal with her situation. While King and the rest of the MC as well as members from other charters come to assist.

It's a fairly quick read and was able to get through it in one sitting. There are situations that could be triggering for some, so read the trigger and content warnings before reading this one. It deals with trafficking and events that happen in brief detail but is written about.

Wren finds her darkness and thrives in it to help save her and Willow while the MC is also working their way to finding and rescuing them. Daddy King and Wren's actual story together is fairly short but it also started to build in the previous book. The spice doesn't hit until the very end and Daddy King did not disappoint. 3.5/5⭐ and 2.5/5🌶️ only because it was such a minor part of their story. Best to read in order or you'll miss a whole bunch of the build up!!

King by E.R. Hendricks is an age gap MC Romance. This is the third book in the Ruthless Heathens series.

I am loving this series and how each book is novella length following each member in the MC. I absolutely love King and Wren together. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book.

I can't wait for the next book Racket to be announced.

Hello dark and emotional in this one!! (Check those TWs if you need them.)

Ok well just like previous books in this series this one picks up right where the last one ended, and man does the author hit you hard with some serious dark moments in this one!! Expect the raw gritty MC world and trafficking of woman more in this book.

King the president of the Ruthless Heathens MC and is thought to be the wiser calmer ruler of his men until the cartel takes his girl. We get a new side of him this time from him thinking he's too old for Wren to wanting to be her new daddy who possesses her body. Yeah he's a dirty talking/acting president now.

Wren is thrown through some seriously traumatic incidents once she and Willow are taken to the cartel to meet their new handler/owner, Matias, he's a cold sadistic man and makes each moment they are there one that is gut wrenchingly painful and gives no hope for escape. But Wren is a fighter and has a darkness lurking that no one seems to notice that helps propel her and Willow to fight for their freedom.

So if you are looking for something that gives you that MC world with heavy emotions but throws some spice in there to balance out all the darkness this is a Must Read Series! You have an age gap, MC, cartel, trafficking, spice, heavy emotions, and a lot of action making it one that keeps you glued till the end.

Overall: 5/☆☆☆☆☆
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶+

brilliant book , the shit his the fan really fast ! what i kind of loved was that wren went through a lot of terrible moments before she was saved by the gang , ive rarely seen that ive read a lot more books where the girl gets saved before any thing really happens to them , king is fantastic , i really like that he had a lot of doubts about what he wanted and at the same time wren knew what she wanted with out a doubt , wren is incredibly strong , how she knew how to take her self out of the moment , there was a moment though that was to much for her - not wanting to follow in her mum foot steps . King was fantastic , always on the ball kept the guys on their feet but once he found what he was looking for , he was rejuvenated , became the leader h was meant to be sort of like he came out of hibernation. i cant wait to read the next one !

As always 📣CHECK THOSE TRIGGERS❗❗❗📣

I’ve never wanted to take a character out of a book and have him all to myself more than I did for King. When I tell you Wren is one lucky psychotic woman. They are the perfect match for each other.

If you are into the daddy kink then this is perfect for you. If you are into the age gaps, this is perfect for you. If you want a strong mmc to have an even stronger fmc, this is for you. Now fair warning please, PLEASE read the trigger warnings.

If you have kept up with the series you know that Wren and the girls were taken and sold off. You also know a little about how everyone feels. I can tell you this was everything and more.

I need a King in my life and I am not afraid to get into a motorcycle gang to get one. Let’s all take that risk together. Just let me know when and where.

Daddy Kink ☑️
Age gap ☑️
Badass females who refuse to break ☑️
Spice ☑️

In this book, we get a closer look at the President of the MC, Daddy King. You are submersed into a dark world where daddy loses his sh*t, when his woman is taken. He does whatever it takes to get her back, and this man would take out ANYONE who gets in his way….sigh 😍

Wren, is a baddie with an unfortunate past. Throughout the story, she uses memories of Daddy King to stay as calm as she can in her situation. Once they finally reunite…. 🔥🔥🔥

Trust me- you need this book in your life. I do highly recommend reading the series in order, and you will not be disappointed!

This book is a continuation of the MC Series. King is just a king among men😍. Wren is a tough girl with a heart of gold and a dirty mind! The level of spice in this series gets spicer in every book! That bastard Matais definitely gets his and man what a sweet as kill scene 😍😍☠️☠️. And the end of the book my brain went 🤯 what about Beth ?! Definitely leaves you on a cliffhanger and sets you up for the next one. Read your trigger warnings as some scenes may be rough for some. If not, enough the ride! Pun intended 😂 I cannot wait to see what happens next!

King and Wren

The story continues as the Ruthless Heathens work on getting the women back. King and Wren are the couple focused on in this story. We also get some of Willow’s story. The first part is all plot progression but when King and Wren get together it gets super spicy super fast. King is Daddy and man did I like it!

I am in awe of this book. It’s dark so be warned but it is so touching and hits you in your feels. I absolutely love how feisty Wren and Willow are and it goes to show that when it comes down to life or death you will do anything to survive.

I loved King and Wren. They have an age gap MC romance. It is a dark read that deal with possibly triggering topics. It is heavy with potent emotion. It was a great build up, chemistry and spice.

must read other 2 books to know what's going on! Splice and Goliath then King. always check TWS
this is about a MC and the ladies they try to get due to something that happened to them. you find out a bit more about what's going on and who they're trying to save. those that are being saved are going through their own things and some are coming to terms with who they are and that will either make or break them getting out. there's spice. triggers. sad parts. a woman coming to figure out who she is and what she wants. Novellas. Age gap. D@ddy. Spice

Check Triggers for all books they differ!

This series just keeps on giving!!!
King was delicious and yummy… I just love a great age-gap, throw in some psycho tendencies and willingness to do anything for your woman and this is the perfect combo.
The build up and anticipation for the climactic part where you don’t know what’s going to happen..
The spicy scenes that just keep giving even when you’re asking for the break and you’re not even in the book 😂
I really loved this book and highly recommend

Oh my goodness! Third times a charm as they say! King is the third book in the ruthless heathens series and it definitely had me just as obsessed and engrossed as the first two books. I was squealing for these two, there story is one of my favorites! Touch her and die vibes for real! Check your trigger warnings but it is so worth the read! So spicy 🥵 love a good age gap!
