Rex: The Knightlye Brothers #1

Rate this book
Dre has been missing for over a year. Rex is on a mission to find him and bring him home. Can Rex find the answers that have eluded everyone?

Rex

I need to end the mystery of what happened to Dre King. I'm determined to find him and bring him home. With the resources at my disposal, discovering what happened is easy. Getting Dre out of his current predicament is a different story. I'm going to need a little help, and I know just who to call. Uncovering the truth about what really happened exposes a much bigger problem, though. One I'm going to have to deal with as soon as possible.

The last thing I expected during this rescue mission was to be attracted to Dre, but it's not like it matters anyway. It can't go anywhere. Not after what I did to his brother. There’s no way once he knows the truth that he'll want anything to do with me.

Dre

Being held against my will for over a year is godawful. I've been waiting for my brother to find me, but I'm out of time. I need to get out of here now. Things have taken a turn for the worse.

I was prepared to do whatever was necessary to get away. I wasn't expecting a knight in black armor to arrive in just the nick of time and save me from the hell that was to come. The connection I immediately feel to him catches me off guard. The last thing I ever expected was to meet someone like him. He’s like a fantasy come to life. Could there be a chance of something more between us?

Rex is book 1.5 in The Knightlye Brothers Series by S. Leigh.

This is the first time I’ve gotten to meet Rex, although I’ve heard that if you have read S. Leigh’s other series The Devil’s Inferno you will have had the chance to have met Rex. Thankfully, it’s not necessary to have read The Devil’s Inferno Series to understand this book or even this series.

Although Wreck has already forgiven him, Rex still harbors feelings of guilt for what he did to the man. And since it’s obvious to Wreck that just offering Rex his forgiveness isn’t enough, Wreck decides to help him out and asks Rex to help him find his brother, Dre, who it seems has disappeared and no one has been able to find him or even catch a whiff of his whereabouts.

Rex takes this job seriously, but what he doesn’t expect is to find his perfect match and soulmate in Dre.

I just fell in love with Dre. He’s such a beautiful soul who’s so sensitive and one of the most caring individuals I have met in a long time. He shows nothing but love, care and concern for everyone he knows. I just loved seeing his compassionate and forgiving side, it was so stunning to see. And you know that he’s exactly what Rex needs in his life and Dre can pull Rex out of his funk.

I’m not going to give anything else away, I want you to read and enjoy this book. But what I am going to say is that I loved reading this book. I felt all the pain and guilt that Rex felt, and I was so happy to read that he had finally found his own soulmate in Dre. A man who is not only loving but also forgiving and a man who managed to bring Rex back to himself and find his own center again.

I found this book to be a true summary of love, action, family values, and of course new chances. This book is packed full of mystery, danger, family vibes, and forgiveness.

I have to say that of course I recommend this book just like I recommend this series to date.

This was such an amazing read.

Rex trusted the words of someone he thought was a friend and ended up hurting a innocent man. Wreck forgive him but gave him something that he knew he could do. Find Wreck's brother Dre who has been missing for over a year. What he found was even more.

Dre was kidnapped by the last people he ever thought of but he is not alone. He needs to get them out of there and pass on information that he has learned. He just doesn't know how he is going to get away. When Rex shows up to save him he will do anything to make sure that he has all the information he needs to set some things straight.

This book was love at first sight. You will laugh, you will cry and you might even just yell but you will fall in love with Rex and Dre along with thier family of S.Leigh's book it is highly suggested but not necessarily. But you won't be disappointed. Thank you S.Leigh for another of your amazing reads. Happy Reading all.

We already met Rex in the Devil's Inferno series, so it'better (even though not necessary) to read that one before starting with this book.
Rex feels guilty because of what he did to Wreck, even though the man has already forgiven him. Since his forgiveness seems not to be enough though, in order to help him, Wreck decides to ask him to find his brother, Dre, who has disappeared without leaving a trace.
Rex takes the task really seriously, but he doesn't expect to find his soulmate in Dre.
I'm not going to spoil the book, but I can say that I really loved it.
I felt the pain and guilty that Rex felt, and I was so happy to read that he finally found his right match in Dre, a loving and forgiving man, who managed to take him back to himself, centering him again.
This book is a summary of love, action, family values, and new chances. I absolutely recommend it.

Rex is book one of The Knightlye Brothers Series.

Rex is reeling from his actions in the Devil's Inferno Series. He feels he has a lot to make up for and works extremely hard to earn the forgiveness of Wreck for all he has wronged them for. This guilt leads him to the search for Wreck's brother Dre. What Rex doesn't expect is to meet his match with Dre. But he wonders how he will ever earn the forgiveness from Dre once he finds out what he did to his brother.

Dre is a sensitive soul, who is the most caring individual. He shows a lot of love for everyone he knows and cares for. I enjoyed seeing his compassionate and forgiving side. He was exaclty what Rex needed to get out of his funk.

Book 1 in the Knightlye brother series however you need to read books 1-4 Devils inferno mc to get full enjoyment and understanding of this story.
I’ve been waiting for this book since Shadow and Wrecks book.
Rex is wracked with guilt after his treatment of Wreck so he is determined to use every resource available to find Wrecks brother Dre. This book is full of mystery, danger, family vibes, love and forgiveness.
I loved this story just as much as the other written by S.Leigh, I can’t wait for what she come up with next.

This author has an interesting writing style that puts the reader right behind the characters eyes.
Have been waiting for Rex and really looking forward to it, and it didn't disappoint.
Rex was given the task of finding Dre, after causing a lot of trauma. What he didn't expect was to fall for the guy and wow they both fell like bricks.
As usual with this author we are left on a cliffhanger!
Can't wait for more!

Rex and Dre’s story was such a great read, I’d been waiting for it since Wreck and Shadow’s story.

It’s full of action, danger, and emotion. I especially loved how they worked through Rex’s guilt over being tricked into hurting Wreck and how they helped each other heal.

They’re the perfect couple, and I can’t wait for Seth and Everett’s story which is up next in the Knightlye Brothers series.

Rex is the first book in the Knightlye Brothers series and I just loved it. If you have read the Devil's Inferno series then you are already familiar with Rex, if you haven't read it it's amazing and you might want to read that one first. I just loved the premise of the book and the emotions that we go through. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
