Royal Bastards MC: Durango, CO #7
Crossing the Line
From Wall Street Journal and USAToday bestselling author comes a brother's best friend, steamy MC romance.
I knew Keno was dangerous the second he walked into my bar.
He’s a nomad with the Royal Bastards.
A badass biker.
The kind of man who won’t take no for an answer.
And my brother’s best friend.
I thought I’d escaped my past, running thirteen hundred miles to start my own life, but it just showed up on my doorsteps in the shape of the man I’d always crushed on.
Before, Keno barely knew I existed.
Now that I’m all grown up, he’s suddenly set his sights on me.
But I’m not his for the taking.
I’m trying to save my business, and the last thing I need is a possessive biker with a cocky smile obsessed with me.
Only Keno won’t backdown.
Not when he’s decided I’m his.
Not even when I sass him at every turn.
Not even when my brother finds out.
Because Keno won’t stop until I belong to him.

3.5⭐️
Sully/Keno and Maggie/Six have known each other all their lives. Maggie had the biggest crush on Sully but he thought she was too young. One day Sully decides to leave breaking Maggie's heart and trust in him. She eventually leaves home and ends up in Durango, Colorado. Maggie ends up owning the bar that she worked in, with the help of Rock, the president of the Durango Chapter of Royal Bastards. One day,12 years later, Sully walks in the bar with another MC brother. What a shock that is for both of them. Keno finally steaks his claim on Maggie. That's all I'm gonna say about what happens in this book.
I had some issues with both Sully and Maggie. Why did Sully leave to begin with? He never tells Maggie. Maggie pissed me off with the phone call to her brother Derek. Like really??? I get that he and Remy are your brothers but seriously they didn't deserve the phone call and she knows it. Remy is a real big piece of shit and definitely deserves anything that happens to him. I have other unanswered questions but I'm guessing I won't be getting them. Unless there's going to be another book????
Maybe it's just me but that's how I felt about this one.

Sully & Maggie! Another great story, go buy it!
Crossing The Line is book 7 in the Royal Bastards MC Durango, Co series written by the talented author Nicole James. A must read for any biker romance fan of Nicole’s books. This is Keno and Maggie second chance biker romance story. It has lots of action, drama, secrets, family drama, sexy bikers and strong ladies, second chances and more. It was one of those "sleepless night" books because it is impossible to put down once the first page is read.

Sweet and spicy read
If you like MC romances, you’ll love this book! Nicole James always delivers! It’s sweet, a little spicy, along with some drama! Everything you expect from an MC book. Keno was her brothers best friend until he left town and left her behind. When they find each other again, the sparks fly! Except her brothers are in town and don’t want them together just like in the past. Are they involved in the string of robberies around town? Will they do something to Keno or the club? Have to read to find out!!

Great read!
What a great read! A fantastic addition to this Chapter of the Royal Bastards!
Sully and Maggie reconnect unexpectedly after 12 years and oh my days!! There is no question that Keno (Sully) knows what he wants but Maggie has worked hard to get where she is and still feels like he left her behind.
But when the truth starts to come out can they both get past it and make a future together?
Loved this!

motocross wow
Ok this was so good I feel in love with MMC and FMC Keno and Maggie are what Star crossed lovers are all about! The Motocross element with the RBMC just took it up a notch! I wanted more compilations! I was so upset for Maggie at kind of trash her brothers were! Why did Derek fallow Remy like a sheep to his own demise! Such a great read!

Such a good story…
This is a story of love that didn’t get a chance. Maggie thought she had time with Keno, then he left during the night. He walks into the bar one day years later, and doesn’t show signs of knowing her. What’s a girl to do? Loved the ending!

Second chances
Sweet, sexy and danger. Reunited after years apart, the spark is still there. Learning to trust again and making new friends and family. Good pace and series. No cliffhanger and hea.

Okay
Love the book but it reminded me of Rock and Evelyn story. The stripper scene was just to repeat but that jealous that was life.
And to defend your girl. Yep

This brothers best friend turn into a love match was thrilling, fast paced & full of surprises each time she turns around. Her brothers are the worse, then "he" magically turns up from her past to be with her & be there for her forever. It's a really sweet story in the end. I want more Nicole, please?!? ❤️👍🙏📚

DNF. Wasn’t really interested in either main, especially Sully. No heart or depth to story, just a bunch of random drama that meant nothing because the characters were like cardboard cutouts.
