Riot: A King Family Saga
He’s the wild one. The dangerous one. The one she should’ve stayed away from...far away.
Riot King doesn't follow rules. He breaks them, rewrites them, and dares anybody to say something about it. After Creed shook up the King empire, Riot's been keeping his distance, stacking money, moving exotic animals, and staying outta feelings.
Until she showed up.
Allure is a walking secret.
Soft voice, guarded eyes, and a past too twisted to talk about. She’s on the run, hiding scars nobody can see. Riot wasn’t part of her escape plan, but now that she’s seen him, touched him, tasted him...there’s no going back.
He’s chaos in a bespoke suit.
She’s been through hell and learned how to survive.
Together, they’re a slow burn that’s about to explode.
Enemies are circling. Loyalty’s being tested. And love? That might just be the deadliest trap of all.
If you love gritty Black romance, hood love with heart, and alpha antiheroes who fall hard for the one woman they can’t control, Riot will leave you breathless.
Start reading now and get swept into the danger, the heat, and the legacy of the King family.

Sophomore Slump
This Urban Dark Romance continues the story from Book 1. Some betrayal, twists and turns has the King family going through it. I loved Book 1 hard. Book 2 just didn't quite make it for me. I wanted the deep, dark MMC in a Dark Romance to keep his edge.
Here we have Riot wanting to change and go legit, ok sure, but also having him question himself and his dark nature. It wasn't presented as a boon or good thing but something that comes with a little bit of shame or something that needed to change. I liked Riot in Book 1. His personality was different. His love for animals but his decisive yet impulsive nature was appealing. Here in his own book though a lot of those edges were rounded and tamed. It felt like a loss.
Allure was a good FMC. She had goals and ambition. She was a good fit for Riot but again this idea about making sure he changed was just eh. I was intrigued by her introduction. There was a lot going on with her background but I was all in. And even though I'm not huge on murdery FMCs, I wanted to see her revenge get justice. I wanted to see her evolution. However, somewhere around 25-30% her edge was re-shaped quite a bit. It was a little startling.
A lot of the family betrayals were pretty obvious from jump but it all sets up Book 3. It had me wanting to re-read Book 1 because lots of characters pulled a 180. Characters I was invested in in Book 1 who completely flipped the script to that odd devastating ending. It felt like mid-book the author grew tired of the complexities. Certain betrayals or twists would happen with zero follow-up. Reactions to majority of twists were always instantaneous and none of it was allowed to breathe on page or to see the emotional weight of the betrayals. I am still interested to see what happens next, but it's no longer a one-click automatic buy read.

There was a lot happening in this story. Betrayal. Family secrets. Fighting for freedom & new life. Revenge and a cautionary tale of what happens when you let bitterness fester. While the plot points were decent and engaging enough to make you want to see it to the end, there were lots of lazy typos & sloppy editing that became distracting after a while. Additionally, the pacing also felt off at times, like the story dragged but moving fast at the same time. I also have a one sided beef with stories featuring captives/toxic relationships and then getting immediately involved with their “savior”. I always want the FMC to have some time to be on her own before a new situation. However, despite going from one situation directly to another, Allure (FMC) did find her voice, & some semblance of a backbone to confront her past.

who needs enemies when you have family filled with hate, jealously and betrayal? this one was a wild ride. However, Riot and Allure found happiness.
I guess we'll see how Cannon adjusts to the King family drama.

Riot and Allure🥰
I couldn't wait for this book because Creed's book was such an unexpected surprise, and I had high expectations for Riot. This book was so good! You really have to hold on to the edge of your seat, hunny. There is so much going on in Allure's past and Riot's present, but they manage to really see each other in that time, and the love is able to bloom. This book is about betrayal, secrets, love, lust, and redemption.

Riot
I read this book in one sitting. It was soooo many secrets, lies and treachery. Riot is definitely the definition of BDE. Silas and Lionel were both piss poor fathers. MiMi got what she deserved as well. I’m glad Allure got the truth. Her family ain’t shyt. Great read. There were a few mistakes but it didn’t take away from the story.

Review
I liked the story line but there were too many typos and inconsistencies, mainly towards the end. Characters names kept changing back and forth, some character names were switched to other characters. It seemed rushed and definitely wasn't proof read. I also find it odd that Riot never made an attempt to look into who Allure's dad was. I also found that Riot was still pretty immature and ruled by anger for literally 90% of the book. There wasn't enough accountability on his part imo for his behavior, not towards Havoc or Allure when they had the falling out. Havoc was also immature and gullible but he was right about how they treated him and they barely acknowledged it, even how their own mother treated him. Idk , it was good but it needed some fine tuning in my opinion.

Who needs enemies when you have the King family 😒
This book was odd! There definitely should have been trigger warnings, and the last half was so poorly edited it was hard to follow. I’m done with this series, I won’t be reading Cannon. The plot twists were more for shock value than to add to the story. There’s just way too much unresolved trauma from everyone. From the minute Riot claimed to “smell cancer” I knew this storyline was going to be weak and full of nonsense. Also, no one gives “Boss” vibes but we’re supposed to believe they are some kind of big players. Allure calls the police and Boaz’s whole operation fails and he’s in jail for like a week?! None of that is plausible.
This author’s writing style is not for me. None of the characters were likable, relatable or entertaining enough to invest in their stories. Riot was a spoiled brat throughout, Sloane made a cameo just to show the author has no concept of an actual therapist and conflict of interest, Creed comes off like a crybaby with no tears - I’m still waiting on him to actually lead something. The whole Abra thing at the end was like of course, another one.

Falling Apart At The Seams
Riot did not come to play with y'all! We learned that in Creed's story when he started rippin' things apart. Dat trifling paw was just the beginning of their problems.
I never expected him to soften anymore than we'd already seen, but talk about smellin' his flower straight from the garden! Babbbbby, Allure was literally sniffed out. His bionic nose was able to determine so much without confirmation.
His heart, although cold and hard, was chiseled through. This book had more twists and turns than MapQuest! 😝😂🤣 Every time I thought I figured it out, we got hit with more betrayal. Im tellin ya, it be ya own people.
This was a great read. It will keep you on your toes. I'm looking forward to Cannon's book. 💚💛💜🫶🏽

Whew 😮💨😮💨! That was a lot of betrayal, lies and deceit but Riot never let up on Allure and I am glad that they were able to find love and happiness in the end ! It’s crazy how one man’s actions can rollercoaster into decades of pain, blood and loss !!
And Allure people ain’t shit because how you sell your daughter and let her be gone for 10 years without a care in the world !!!
&& Havoc pissed me off because use your fucking words you are grown !!! You let that Bih get into your head now you in the dirt and the brother you hated so bad raising your kid as his own!!! Smh 🤦🏽♀️
This series got me on a ride …. Let’s see what the new brother (Cannon) has to offer!!!

I loved this so much, the way Riot didn’t play when it came to Allure 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The man was obsessed from the first moment he saw Allure. I loved the sides they brought out in each other. Allure brought out his soft and vulnerable side. Riot brought out her fierce aka Queen side. They really just balanced each other out.
The plot had me hooked, couldn’t put it down. I just knew Allure family had something to do with her disappearance and was not shocked when I was proven right.
I loved the fact that Allure got her freedom and got her happily ever after being trapped for ten years.
Will be continuing the series!

Riot was all about the business. He was on it. Wild and outrageous. Loved him. Him and Allure made it through it and came out stronger.
Havoc got on my last nerve him and his girlfriend she was the key to his demise. He couldn’t think for himself. He could have been alright if he had spoken to his brothers and shared his trauma.
Jasir will be well taken care of and now Cannon !!!!

It could all be so simple
IM SORRY but even though this was a decent story it’s hard to ignore the inconsistencies and grammatical errors. I mean they were so glaring and on just about every PAGE. It’s did the author even proofread her material before publishing it. I had deduct a star simply just based on the misspelled words, using the wrong word or just missing words altogether. Can we get an editor? Maybe a friend to proofread it for you? Something? Books are not cheap and considering the author is selling this she needs to do better. It took away from the story completely!

3.5 Stars…
This was a really interesting continuation of the King Family Saga that was slightly let down by the editing which could have helped with some of the homophone errors but also perhaps with sharpening things a little bit so the plot moved along a bit more smoothly. Despite these teething issues, I enjoyed this author’s storytelling and the continuation of the King’s story- perhaps even more than I did Creed’s book.
Riot and Allure finding each other at their most broken was dealt with really well and with Allure being a survivor of trafficking and abuse, the rapid trajectory of their relationship could potentially have felt rushed and out of place, but it never did and you were always rooting for them to find healing. It didn’t feel rushed, but I did still wish a little more dialogue time had been spent on that healing journey and we had a chance to see them flourish before the epilogue.
It was good to have just the right amount of Creed and Sloane and to meet other family members. I didn’t quite see the twist at the end coming as I suspected someone else. But I’m actually excited for Cannon’s book after this and seeing where he fits into their family saga.

Great Story
The storyline is amazing and I would love to give the book a five star rating. However, there are way too many typos and incorrect grammar in this book for me to write it as a five star book.

Ugh
This book was great and then it seemed like they changed Riots entire character development arc. It felt like two different people were editing and writing the book. There were also a lot of mistakes in the book.

The lack of editing within this version makes it hard for someone like me to objectively look at the story. That coupled with things that should have made the FMC question the motives of her family way before she did ... especially since she was so sharp in the compound.

3.5⭐️’s
Whew chile…So much to unpack here 😂
So much trauma, so much so-one spicy scene still ain’t sitting right in my spirit, esp given the FMC’s past. I don’t feel good about it, nor do I feel like it was ever addressed…almost glossed over & ion like dat, even if this is considered a “dark romance.”
I remember Riot being so unhinged and dark in Creed’s book & now he’s trying to heed his brother’s direction of maturing but the darkness keeps finding him. I appreciate Riot’s attempts to mature and evolve and Allure played a significant role in that. Given her history I felt she needed some time to learn who she really wanted to be as a woman before jumping in a relationship…esp with the man that “saved” her. Going from one violent man to another (even if for protection) is a lot!
Allure was a strong FMC who was dealt a shitty hand by shitty family. Her evolution and softness to Riot’s hardness was depicted well. Again, I wish she would have stayed away longer and held him accountable a lil stronger tho.
The storyline was laced with so much betrayal & secrets but it kept me intrigued and turning the page so the author accomplished the goal with a page turning novel. It was just laced with so much death, I wish death wasn’t the only way to redeem or “fix” things in the story tho.
Lastly, I wiah she had a stronger editor, there were so many grammatical and punctuation errors that were distracting.

My Gawd, My Gawd!
This book wrecked me. Goodness…from beginning to end. I loved Creed and Sloane’s book, but RIOT IS MY MAIN MAN!!! His soul is so tortured and he just could never quite get a grasp on how to contain his darkness.
While in normal life, we’d expect Allure to get loads of therapy before tackling a relationship…
Riot saved her but she saved him back. The things she endured, at the hands of those she loved is so crazy. The betrayal so deep, but Riot soothed that for her and she held him together when he fell apart.
Havoc pissed me off to no end but my goodness…he never stood a chance. If communication was healthy between the three brothers imagine the healing that could’ve occurred. Silas breed evil into everyone around him and while Havoc deserved every thing he got, it really didn’t have to be that way.
Mimi that grimy B! I’m so happy for how things happened with her.
I do wish that there was more on Rollo in the end. At least an extra scene but I won’t trip too much. This book was too good.
*Note: Some minor grammatical errors that became more consistent at the end. Seems like the author was trying to rush on out but nothing to gripe about.
Amazing! Psychological, dramatic, violent, spicy and tender in the right parts. 😜

Riot King, That It That's All!!
Riot has the world on his shoulders trying to make sure everyone was all right. He should have went to therapy, because Silas disgusting self really messed them up. He kept his word to Allure. Allure faced the worst kind of betrayal from everyone in her family. It's good that her soon to be sister-in-law is a therapist. How is Carmelo mad at Allure for being with Riot and he caused it in the first place? Havoc ain't have all, knowing he wasn't about that life? Mimi is a fool because she should have took the money Riot was offering, but nah she wanted to get revenge. Now look her, her sister and her man is dead.Havoc only did one good deed and that's let Rollo live. So Irina, she didn't lose her man. Abra was Tessa assistant but not really because if she was paying attention she would have known she had cameras in the house. Riot promised Allure everything made her dreams come true. They really love each other. What he had with Malia was childhood love

Wow, what a dark tale. I liked the plot twists and it kept it exciting. I wished Allure's storyline was fleshed out a bit more...It felt like she overcame her challenges quite easily and quickly.
I liked that all the loose ends were tied up and I am interested to know Cannon's story.
I didn't read Creed's story and I'm glad they are standalones because I didn't have to read Creed to understand.
I felt sorry for Tessa...I had a feeling she wasn't crazy and was giving cryptic warnings all along. I liked that Creed had the nose of a bloodhound that was a unique character trait. There's so much more I can say but I don't want to ruin it for others!
This was a great read. I'd give it like a 4.5. My first time reading anything from this author. It was a bit wordy and a slow build but I'm still curious to read her other work.
I liked that all the loose ends were tied up and I am interested to know Cannon's story.

king family. :)
The King’s Family Saga continues… and I’m hooked!
Riot is a dark soul—raised by his father to be ruthless and unfeeling, always ready to pull the trigger. But everything changes when Allure enters his life. She gives him something he never thought he could have: love, peace, and a real sense of family.
This story had me fully invested from start to finish. The character development, the emotional depth, and the undeniable chemistry between Riot and Allure made it impossible to put down.
If you love dark romance with redemption arcs and serious spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️, this one’s for you. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. Definitely check out this author’s work—available now on Kindle Unlimited!

This was a hard read. Despite finishing this book in a bout 3 days, I spent most of the time rolling my eyes.
Characters was just about likeable - I felt for Allure and what she had gone through but I don’t think she really dealt with her traumas well. Riot was a bit chaotic at times but had a good heart. Well for the other characters, what they were was what they deserved.
I think for me there was just too much repetition that at times felt like it was filling the word count. I didn’t really agree when it came to the ‘spicy’ scenes straight after a WILD scene (violence). The ending and closing some of the plots felt a bit predictable and never ending.
Introducing another brother? Yeah I think I’m gonna skip that one.

The Twist and Turns in This Book
I mean from start to finish this book had little calmness in it. Riot was definitely a peace of work BUT him meeting Allure (the virgin) calmed him just a little. The fact that he was scared of what consequences would come heck had me scared for him. NOW his sense of smell and knowing what was wrong with that person was impeccable. Allure really brought calm even with everything she had endured with Boaz and her own family. Riot really was her peace. NOW the amount of not so loyal people the King Family had in their family was crazy but sad especially because neither brothers blinked at whatever they had to do. NOW how Cannon came into the picture I never would have thought. On to reading Cannon…

I would give this book 4 stars for plot alone cause I did enjoy the action but at some points, the plot felt drawn out.
I mainly hate when there is a build up to the antagonist(s) demise and then the murder is explained away in like a page or so. I felt like getting to Boaz should’ve been a tad harder. Same with Carmelo. It seemed like the antagonists were waiting for Riot.
The grammatical errors were bad towards the end. I didn’t feel like the sex scene after Allure pulled the gun on Riot was needed cause it almost contradicted Riots savior complex when it came to Allure. It felt consensual and coerced at the same time.
All in all, I enjoyed the book enough to stay up til 3:30 to finish it 🤣

It keeps getting better
This was a great read! Riot had me on an emotional rollercoaster. I knew Allure parents set that up. They never looked for her because she was given to Boaz. I’m glad Riot went there and he was able to help heal Allure. Good thing Irine helped Allure go to her party. 10 years and she’s free. I felt bad for Havoc. I knew his dad did him wrong. He let Mimi get in his head though smh. He could’ve talked to his brothers and gotten help. I know Tessa knew what Silas was doing. I knew she had another son after what she said. Everyone has a time to go and it seems everyone in the book went they needed to. Off to read Cannon. I’m hoping he realizes his brothers aren’t his parents and he comes around.

Content Warning: Sex trafficking, physical abuse, references to child sexual abuse (not illustrated on page)
In love with my savior right away stories can be iffy for me because I prefer for the FMC to get some time to herself first (especially after 10 years of captivity like in Allure’s case) so the love feels real and chosen. This was reaffirmed in that one sex scene which felt somewhat questionable given her history. Didn’t love that.
There were so many obvious editing mistakes, like wrong names repeatedly, that took away from the reading. It was worse than in book one, especially in the second half of the book.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. Some of the plot twists were expected but others I was completely surprised by.
Spice: 2/5
Overall rating: 3.5/5

A bit too much all at once but still entertaining
Riot’s story was much more complicated because of who he is and the burdens he carries. While I found him likable, he didn’t inspire a book bae crush like Creed. And although Allure was a lovely person, I didn’t feel she should have been ready for a full on relationship right out of captivity. What baby girl really needed years of therapy, not more trauma and a new relationship. Despite all this, it was still an ok read.
Ok, so I guess there won’t be a HEA for Havoc. In my last review I expressed wanting Havoc’s story but that won’t be happening.

Growth looks good on him
I always knew Havoc was going to be an issue but when I tell you I’m beyond happy and proud of Riot! His growth, maturity and accountability was beautiful to see unfold! Allure played a major part but him wanting it for himself to be better for her was a completely different story. I absolutely loved that for him. Their love story was a lil unconventional and traumatic but it was their own and I loved it for them! 10/10 highly recommend let’s hope Cannon don’t piss me off when that drops next month … he’s already pissed off at the wrong people . So I already got my face turned up at him ! This shall be interesting… countdown begins

Riot
Ok Riot was a slow burn but I understand why. We needed to make sure him and Allure were locked in before all the secrets spilled out. I knew his book would be way different than Creed because of what he was. He was the killer, the cleaner and the protector. It was in the way he loved Allure the way he ain't ask no questions but made stuff happen. I think I liked his development just a little more because he had some demons but than started carrying the weight of Allure's as well. Overall really loved this.. can't wait to read Cannon because I know it's gonna be crazy!!!
