Take me to Church! This series is amazing, and I never wanted it to end sometimes authors do too much and add in random characters that don’t make sense or take away from the greatness of the original characters but this book is a blend of all my favorite characters and newer members make you want their story as well. This is a romance to read full of love and relationships mixed with drama and intrigue - Hulk aka Beast the lead who is one of my all-time favorite characters really surprises me and makes me proud in this series finale. Brooklyn is even funnier than usual. Hawk is still one of my favorite book boyfriends-I always love gaining insight into Many and Priest. I love when Gabe Jr. gets his official nickname, and the family is made not born aspect of the book is fantastic eventually we do choose who we love and are family with and you can create a beautiful life and meet good people from that. I hear Zel is getting a standalone book, and I can't wait he needs his story told and to meet a good woman. I loved seeing everyone getting the happiness they deserved, and the story has triggers that the author warns about at the beginning and there are some points where you feel all is lost and your fave couples will never get a break but stay with it. It is one heck of a ride and great read. I love how Summer finally feels good enough, loved and wanted and not worried about having to prove herself or be worried that she can't trust anyone. This book was worth the wait and this series deserves a space on your kindle and bookshelves. LOVE!
For a better reading experience start with Hawk and read through the entire series. Enjoy!

Wow! This Book Was So Good!
I absolutely love this author. This book had me on such an emotional rollercoaster ride. So many comments and remarks had me laughing out loud while other scenes had me in tears. One thing I will say is that everyone was getting their freak on...lol.
I will not give away any spoilers however, the ending had me sitting up!
Can we please have books for Maksim and Zel? There are definitely stories there go be told! Well Done Ms. Rayne!!! Well Done!

I enjoyed the beginning 40% or so, but after that the story got very repetitive and boring.
The constant push and pull of Summer and Gabriel's relationship was frustrating and the plan a mission/take someone out/squabble with each other at the safe house because they're tired of being crowded together was not entertaining after the first few.

PHENOMENAL!
This book was phenomenal, this series was legit the best thing. The love, brotherhood, and just everything. I’m so happy Beast was finally able to understand himself and that he gained more love around him! Each of them!

wow, Tiya Rayne.
You put us through it! I’m so happy to see all of Priest’s boys get there happily ever after. Beast has suffered so much that I knew his final story would be epic. Tiya rewarded our patience. I will miss the Church.

Love and Cry
One more OUTSTANDING book. I hope there will be more in the future. We needed Beast 2, though. Brooklyn continues to have a sharp tongue. My favorite couple is Beast and Summer, followed by Priest and Ms. Monroe. To keep it a secret, I did cry when someone in the novel passed away. Every Priest child is entitled to a happy ending. The book was excellently written, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Again, thank you.

What a finale!
I was so nervous through this entire book! It was thrilling, heartwarming and satisfying. I don't want to spoil the book but when I tell you I cried...I cried like I was going through it with them. I was hoping it ended the way I needed it to and it did. If you have read the series you had to know there was no other way. Brooklyn still gets on my nerves. Malian is still my favorite if the wives. Priest, Priest, Priest...no one will ever make me break up with you. Read it people!!!! I am going to do a reread of the entire series this summer I think.

Heaven and Hell.
The father and his Sons are under attack. The Father and his Sons will not stop at anything to defend themselves and their loved ones. The Church is about to go to hell. God save their souls. Loved every sentence of this book. Great read.

This finale was awesome! It has pulled at all my emotions while reading it! It brought out anger, frustration, sadness, grief, happiness, etc.! I am glad for the HEA and it was worth the read! Anyone reading this story or series must start at the top with Hawk and all of the books in the series to get the full story! WHEW!

This CANNOT be the end
When I tell you (as someone who reads at least 100 books a year) that this is one of my favorite authors and one of my all-time favorite series…I ain’t lying.
Ma’am, you need a Patreon account so that your readers can support you and you need to keep writing this series! LOL!!! (Seriously, about the Patreon thing…)
This is one of the best series out there. Start at the beginning and read your way through. Amazing writing, unbelievable characters, and the plot twists?!? Chef’s kiss! 💋
Great job, lady. Thanks for the stories! 🫶🏾🤎🫶🏾🤎🫶🏾

Zel Needs A Book of his own! I NEED ONE MORE!
This cannot be the end of the series? What about Zel? What about Makamis? You cannot dangle that storyline in front of me and then not continue it! UNFAIR! I have fallen in love with all of these characters and of course the one character who’s my Favorite has no book of his own? Come on ! You have to have one more in you for these characters, PLEASE I BEG OF YOU!

I am mad but still love the book!
I am mad that the Church series is ending, I love these books! Each character is so different and special to the reader because you get understand how they become priest sons and why he is so hard on them when they mess up, he don't abuse them but give them a better life with a purpose. The first book hawk had me crying because the sisters was best friends and had each others back no matter what? Hawk was Batman for me because I had No idea he couldn't see until the end of the story. I was so shock that had to reread the book to understand how I miss that he was blind, the twins book had me scare because I never which twin was coming out to play because the twins was scary. Many made me laugh because he can be anyone in a blink of an eye. But Priest he took the cake because he had the most dangerous group of men and he could have taken over the church or a whole country without breaking a sweat but he never did which was shocking because he knew what he had but never once use his power to do that ,yes he is in charge in this book but he could have taken the whole church over in the past . I love that the guys got women that love them and started families they all deserve to have a life. I mad that I won't see a book on Zel , and who he fall in love with or Beast brother find love. Plus I want to know more about D.O.E. who are these crazy women with killer body cream and high tech equipment?! And who taught cutie pie Emory how to use a knife that she keeps in a stuff bunny?! Well there be a update on them in a few years so we have a new church series. I hope so ! I did find three misspelled words but didn't throw me off the reading, I am sad to see the church series end but understand a new book must begin. I look forward to a new series from Mrs. Rayne . 🙂 an as always happy reading😉

Y’all, this book series has ruined me (in the best way possible). 🥲 I’m over here clutching my e-reader like it’s my emotional support device because Beast Part 2 was a masterpiece of chaos, feels, and WTF moments.
The Church Series is the gift that keeps on giving: drama, suspense, mystery, and enough emotional whiplash to keep you guessing. 😵💫 Beast Part 2 wrapped up the series in a way that was bittersweet but absolutely unforgettable.
Let’s talk about Beast.
First seen in Hawk (where he was already giving us "trouble but hot" vibes🔥), he grew on us in Twins and Priest. By Beast Part 1, we were fully invested as he fell for Summer. Imagine this: a drug addict meets someone with schizoid personality disorder 😶🌫️ and sociopathic tendencies. They fall in love. Messy? Oh, absolutely. But also, I couldn’t look away. 👀 Let's not talk about the cliffhanger.
Fast-forward to Part 2: after relentlessly pursuing Summer (Beast, sir, the stamina! 🏃♂️), he decides to end things. 🙃 Excuse me, what now? The plot twist! The DRAMA! Watching a jealous Beast 🐾 go from zero to unhinged had me laughing so hard I almost spilled my coffee. ☕😂
But this book isn’t all about Beast and Summer. No, we also get glimpses into Hawk, Lucien/Seth, and Nathaniel’s relationships with their partners. ❤️ It’s like a family reunion where everyone has tea to spill, and I am HERE for it. 🍵
The Emotional Spectrum: A Play-by-Play
😭 Moments that made me bawl: check.
😡 Scenes that made me rage-text mybbook bestie: oh, plenty.
🤣 Parts that made me laugh until my stomach hurt: Beast being hilariously possessive = gold.
The writing kept me hooked from start to finish, and honestly, the ending made me want to hug the author and throw my book across the room at the same time. 📚
✨Final Plea: Maksim and Zel NEED their books. Don’t leave us hanging! 🙏

5+….Perfect end to a thrilling series!! Beast part two is what I expect when I read suspense romance novels. I loved seeing all the brothers, and their significant others perspectives including Beast and Summer, but especially Priest.
This book just gave me all the warm fuzzy feelings, when it should’ve given me anything but considering the plot. Tiya Rayne did her absolute big one with this and it was worth me taking my revision time to read this instead. The drama left right and centre had me sweating and dying to know what happened next because it was like they couldn’t rest, but the ending really brought it all home.
This is one of the top 3 series I’ve read to date!!!!! If there are side books for Zel and Maxskim it would make my year x100, but so far this series had everything from romance, suspense, adrenaline and sacrifice. I cannot rave about this anymore other than you need to read this book and it’s worth all the sleepless nights!
Despite the loss Tiya Rayne experienced whilst writing this series I have to say, she is valued and appreciated for all her efforts! I’ve read all the books in this series and at no point did they lack in any department. She deserves all her flowers neeeowwww! At no point did I ever consider being with someone mentally challenged and although this wasn’t real, ion care I’ll take a deranged man that loves hard (pun intended, hehe)! THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE x

Oooh Child!
MS Tiya, you wrote the Hell outta this story.
Lord Hammercy, there was so much going on, so much intrigue and heartbreak.
But, you know who my favorite character is? Emory, that little Sis is awesome and deserving of her own story. As well as Little Gabe, what an awesome guy.
Thank you for giving us Beast! I love him to death with all his crazy and vulnerabilities. Summer is my girl and bless her for hanging in there with Beast.
I'm also now hoping Maksim will be a lead subject in one of your stories. And let's not forget Zel and his possible love interest. So much to look forward to! Again, what a absolutely great read; I normally don't do write ups, just rate with stars; but I couldn't bypass talking about this book. I wish I could give you more than five stars.

I had an enjoyable experience with this book initially, but I found some aspects disappointing as the story progressed. While it began with a strong premise (picking up from a cliffhanger), I felt that the characters and plot began to lose their depth as the narrative unfolded.
The intimate scenes proved to be quite difficult for me to read, pulling me out of the experience rather than enhancing it. Each moment felt awkward and uncomfortable, leaving me cringing with every encounter. Instead of drawing me into the story, these scenes became a source of distraction. I did appreciate the character of Zel, and I think his backstory has great potential—I'd love to see that explored further, perhaps in a novella connected to the sex club. 👀😏
Despite my mixed feelings, I’m glad to have discovered a new author. I’m open to reading more of Ms. Rayne’s work in the future.

Fantastic
I read Book one and Two back to back
Beast was the last if the brothers story and a real page turner
There was so much action and family suspense that I could not stop reading until I finished both books
All the couples became family and I was hoping for Beast to find someone who could love him for who he was
He found that in Summer
Two flawed people who find a love that passed understanding
I’m sorry we had to come to the end of this series but I love the ending and appreciate the writing skill of Tiya. She wrote a winning series with characters that come alive
Great job Tiya
Keep writing these great stories that keep us turning those pages as we are engrossed in the story you weaved!

This book wrecked me in the most beautiful way. I want to show this to other authors that write series because this was a lesson in how to wrap things up.
Let's start with Beast and Summer. We left Part 1 on a cliffhanger and get a chance to see how everyone rallies. I appreciated how we still got their love story in the midst of e v e r y t h i n g else happening. It is push/pull but Summer is that girl.
I love love love seeing everyone else. We also get chapters narrated by our favorites. We also get to hear from new people and I'm hoping that means more books. Maybe a spinoff? I beg! When Tiya said trust the process, she meant that and even when I guessed what would happen next, my jaw dropped because how dare she.
I have quickly become a fan and went through Tiya's backlist to tide me over for this release. Read it and just enjoy the ride/finale.
Let's start with Beast and Summer. We left Part 1 on a cliffhanger and get a chance to see how everyone rallies. I appreciated how we still got their love story in the midst of e v e r y t h i n g else happening. It is push/pull but Summer is that girl.

I loved it..mostly
I hate to see this series end. I feel as though I still have questions. For instance, why didn’t Zel get his partner? Also, with Maxim as a new family member I’d like to have known his story and bit more.
Also, I love Beast but I was getting a bit irritated with him feeling as though after everything he needed to leave his family because it was always his fault something happened. I started thinking “get over yourself Beast”…it was too much “woe is me”…however, he eventually got himself together. I loved when they all came together to kill Corbyn..except the fights were very anticlimactic. Like Corbyn’s kids were killed so easily. Otherwise, the book was good. I love little Gabe and Emory.

Beast 2
Absolutely an astounding body of words…
The story plot placed you in the scenes as they happened…
Beast, learning to manage his extra thoughts…
Summer, learning she should stick to her gut reactions was refreshing…
Priest, coming to terms with the concept of losing and gaining was remarkable…
Hopefully, Zel and his beauty will have a story as to expand the family…
Maskim finding his rib should be a downright eventful collaboration…
Will D.O.E. find their ribs…
What will become of Raina and Summer’s mother, will she be allowed to coexist
What will become of Raina, or was she a lesson to be learned on trust…

Love this series!!
Omg!! Tiya Rayne did her thing with this book. It was absolutely amazing. I couldn't put this book down. I loved all the characters before, but this book just solidified that love. Hawk was my man, but Beast just blew him out of the water. This book had everything. I was on edge with all the action and suspense, and y'all the spice...the spice was fire!! If you read the Church series, I'm telling you this book will not disappoint, and if you haven't read the series, then stop what you're doing and read the series. And looking at you, Amazon, this series needs to be a tv series, so call her already!!

Clutching My Pearls!!!
Tiya Rayne is a diabolical storytelling genius!! Beast II is a culmination of The Church Series that will have you laughing out loud, clutching your pearls and flat out crying your eyes out! It is fast paced and never slows down. Each character has an important role in the storyline from the main characters to the minor ones. I FULLY enjoyed this book! I literally began the series by rereading the first books from the beginning in order to not lose any of the story momentum! I would highly recommend this whole series! Tiya Rayne, you really brought it all together full circle! Well done!! 😍😍😍
