I want more
Glimmer, even as grown adults the child in us comes out when our parents are involved. It's that wish that never gets granted. I hated that for you but loved that you had a safe space, a village, and one heck of a guard dog. Gideon was EVERYTHING... He allowed you to see the truth about everyone and everything. A true man of his word.
Now Cyn... please make this a series because I want everyone's story or to have one.

okay.
I liked Glimmer and Gideon’s story. Yes it was a shorter novella like many others in the series and so didn’t have the depth of plot and character development and suspense it had the potential to have, but it was still quite readable and good and you had a sense of liking the characters and rooting for them.
The premise of Glimmer as a runaway bride running off to her childhood friends’ house as a last gasp to escape a forced marriage made an exciting start to the novel. However, the excitement kind of waned after that and was replaced with lover boy, Gideon’s entry and undying love for Glimmer which was well-executed enough that it carried the whole book. I liked the cast of side characters but didn’t get to see much character development with them. Again, like the other books in the series, this was an okay read, but I don’t think this will be exactly memorable and that’s fine.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Loved Gideon, he was truly a protector through and through. I really liked that the MC club was so close knit and that even after the time that past between them, they were all able to join in helping Glimmer with the problem. It sucked her mom was a bitch and honestly, she is the only part of the story where I was like she deserved a swift end because she was just so evil, literally never cared about her daughter. Glimmer almost pissed me off towards the end, but Gideon def said it best she had to see just how trifling her mom was to move on. The spice was def good and enjoyable especially they first encounter being in public, I was like hot holy damn but they both were a bit freak nasty..lol. I really can't wait to see how Haze story goes since you gave a nod to what we know his 10-year jump future looks like. I will be waiting!!

(3.5) I loved Gideon & Glimmer’s relationship. Despite an unconventional start i feel like they had good chemistry and a natural flow to them. Gideon was super attentive and protective of Glimmer, and such a gentle giant when it came to her. Glimmer was a decent FMC for the most part. I enjoyed watching her lean into the found family (which is heavy in this book and thats a trope that I love). She did piss me off towards the end with her naivety but otherwise I didn’t dislike her. I’m very excited to see Haze has a book coming at some point and hopefully we’ll get small peeks of Gideon & Glimmer throughout his story as well. Also, her mother got off too easy for me😤

A king indeed!
10/10 hands down. It was passionate, racy, spicy, thrilling, and everything else. It flowed perfectly from the prologue to the end. Cyn is an awesome storyteller and I was definitely locked in. Gideon is perfect in every way but the way he loves and protects family should be studied. Glimmer is bold, courageous, and beautiful. These two together have a story that’ll melt your heart and keep you on the edge and falling in love with these characters. Loved it!

UNMATCHED
Never have I ever thought that a plot of marriage of convenience could pair with an arranged marriage and be an enjoyable read. Author Cyn did that. Biggups!!!! Great storyline. Absolutely loved it

“I have another vow… Lay it on me.” 🥰
GIDEON!!!
What A Man! that’s my type of book bae.
He always gave “I ain’t a killer, but don’t push me.” All of that “disarming smile” & “gentle giant” sh-t vanished as soon as it came to HIS WIFE!! lol, but on a serious note, I truly appreciated Gideon’s duality. He handled Glimmer with such care; always a thoughtful partner & safe space for her. He really was a big softie, until it was necessary to show the true meaning of VK!
The MCs had sweet chemistry & intimate interactions. One of my favorite moments between them was:
[“…I needed to see how vicious my husband really was.” “No, you ain’t need to see that.” …“As your wife, I need to know what you’re capable of.”]
I feel like my girl FINALLY understood what G & Haze had been trying to tell her. You are beyond protected with us.
My sweet Glimmer.. lil baby had been through so much mess. I’m so glad she found a safety after the fear & anxiety of that come with fleeing. & in the end she received all of her heart’s desires.
I recommend to the book babes who enjoy:

Some men whisper love Gideon Dayne stands on it. From the moment Glimmer hit that doorstep, it was already decided. Not discussed. Not debated. Just understood. This wasn’t slow burn, this was instant protection, instant loyalty, instant mine.
Glimmer went from being treated like collateral to being covered in a way she never experienced before. Running from one forced situation straight into something that actually felt safe 🤎 that shift mattered.
Gideon is perfect in my eyes! Calm until he’s not. Gentle until you test him. Loving, playful, solid but the second you cross that line it's a wrap. He’s the type that doesn’t talk much about what he’ll do, he just does it. The scary part he don’t hesitate. Trick ass touched every wall in that house 😵.
What I loved most is that he didn’t just protect Glimmer physically he gave her space to feel protected. To breathe. To exist without fear. That kind of love hits different when you’ve never had it or you haven't felt it in so long.
This story really said sometimes love doesn’t grow slow sometimes it shows up ready, loaded and already yours.

Through sickness and health...
Ms. Cyn, the more I read from your catalog, the more I become invested in your writing. This work of art touched on so many subjects from money to greed. It was disheartening to see Glimmer get the raw end of the stick in her situation. Her mother valued money over her child and shoot her family period. Now Mr. Juke did not play about Glimmer he made it known he wasn't the one or two. The way Gideon grew up made him into an honorable young man. Gideon and Haze were the big men in town. Their power was felt throughout the town. The idea that Gideon had for Glimmer was like hitting the jackpot. He made sure to take care of her through sickness and health. It started with sickness before the vows. I absolutely loved how he created vows as they fell in love. He was a man after her heart.
Ladies and gents, stop what you are doing and explore Cyn's catalog. You will be intrigued just like I am. Her penmanship is fire. Along with her storytelling being on point. This book had so many twists and turns, but every word written made for a wonderful plot. Therefore, grab your copy today and thank me later. 😊

Gideon and Glimmer!!
Glimmer found herself in quite a predicament. She was being forced to marry a man who had been eyeing her since she was a teenager. At the last moment, she couldn't go through with it and ended up at the Vicious Kings compound. I was glad that she was able to reunite with her friends whom she considered family. Her marriage of convenience to Gideon turned out to be the best thing that happened to Glimmer. She found the love and acceptance that she had always been looking for which she never received from her mother. Gideon didn't play about Glimmer. He could go from quiet to a guard dog when it came to her. Glimmer's mother and Trick were trash. I did not feel sorry for either one of them once Gideon got finished with them. This book kept me engrossed for every second of it. I can't wait to read Haze's book and I'm hoping Kyomi and Deja will also find their one true love as well. Great job!!

book 7
Look a my girl Cyn doing her big one with Book 7 of the BLP Breeds Series! Vowed to a Vicious King, was so good I couldn’t put it down.
Glimmer and Gideon’s story was so well written that I was sad when it was over. What started as a marriage of convenience ended up as a love so strong it made me want to find that kind of love. Gideon didn’t play about his wife and protect and loved her with everything he had.
The drama that surrounded them was so intense and I can’t wait to read more about the Vicious Kings and the families that make up the bike club.
If you love a good marriage of convenience romance, then add this book and series to your TBR!

Gideon is m book husband now! There is always something about a grumpy gentle giant that will do it to me every time. He is truly a protector and made it all happen and more. I hate how Glimmer got to that point in her life so glad she was able to get back to where she knew she would be safe. Glimmer clearly was sheltered because she was reckless with her life lol. Not like most because she was stopped but that would have ended bad for her. Hate she had to go through what she did with her mother but damn so glad Gideon didn’t back down. Despite Gideon and Glimmer coming together unconventional I loved the chemistry everything flowed smoothly and just flowed. Glimmer may have lost a lot but she gained so much and more by leaving her old life.

Glimmer & Gideon✨️✨️
Well Well..I hated how Gideon's grandmother treated him. I loved Haze as his best friend and the love Haze parents gave to Gideon. A child should always be loved. Easier said then done. Glimmer's mother 😡. Gideon did not play. He was the oerfect gentleman. I knew once her mom told that lie to come see her alone..it was a mess. Loved VK. They were there for every moment. Gideon did best. Let Glimmer see for herself that her mom was trash. Now in my opinion she should have been left there same as Trick🧐🧐. Glad her Dad was true..he worried me for a minute. G&G were the cutest. She was crazy about him 💞✨️Loved it

Nothin But The Dawg In You
I really enjoyed "Vowed To A Vicious King." Something in Gideon was moved when he laid eyes on runaway bride Glimmer. Though they knew each other as children, it had been many years since they last saw each other, and both had suffered terrible losses. When he found out Glimmer's story, Gideon stepped up and offered to marry her to keep her safe from Trick. Maybe her evil mother Camille should have offered herself up on the sacrificial altar. The marriage that started out as a way out, quickly revealed strong feelings on both sides. Every woman needs a Gideon!

one of the best in the series
Ive been reading each book in this series/collection and this is definitely in the top. The storyline was intriguing - we had the underlying issue with Trick and the budding romance with the main characters. Very well rounded and engaging book. Minor observation - the MMC was described as having locs butttt the man in the cover does not. Those small details always bother me. But obvi it doesn’t take away from the story. Definitely dont skip this one. I think this is the only one I have written a review for so far because it was that good.

Vowed to a Vicious King (BLP Breeds Book 7)
This book made me smile. I love a gentle giant who doesn't play about his people. And to think Glimmer's mom tried to play in his face. Girl bye.
Anyway, Gideon was laid-back and easy going until he wasn't. Glimmer was sweet and naive. Running away and landing on the steps of the Vicious Kings compound was her saving grace. She found her family and they righted the wrongs. She also found love, peace, and a home in Gideon.
Great story Cyn. Can't wait to read Haze's story.

A great story! Glimmer & Gideon, who knew they would connect in the manner they did! The family relationships are interesting,especially Gideon relationship with his best friend Haze's family ( strong) Glimmer was a daddy's girl, but strive to have that same love from her mother! Gideon was very b protective of Glimmer and his love for her was unmatched! They would face obstacles,but the love and support of family and friends help them overcome the trials and tribulations not outside forces! I enjoyed the epilogue and look forward to Haze story!

Glimmer and Gideon, Love on Wheels
This was such a great read!!!…
When things get turned upside down, always remember where home is!!!…
That’s exactly where Glimmer ran to when life was happening in a way she didn’t like!!!…
Gideon showed her that her safety was his priority and nothing was going to change that!!!…
Glimmer walked into the home of her family, not by birth, but by love!!!…
Her mother was rotten and I was disappointed that they let her walk, because she deserved everything rotten coming her way!!!…

3 1\2 stars
I really wanted to score this higher. It started off well with character identification. Then after the runaway bride scene Glimmer became a scared white woman around people she grew up with. How do you not know you're safe after you crash these peoples house and they let you sleep for two days. Now Gideon was a different story. He was 5 stars. Strung, supportive all of that. Then to make Glimmer beat up another woman out of jealousy but cant muster an ounce of strength towards her evil! Mother?

I loved this story Gideon came in calming Glimmer down taking control in a gentle nature while protecting her. He fell immediately and made sure her and her father was straight. I am glad she had Haze, Kyomi, and Deja in her corner and embraced her after all that time like she was the family she was!! Im glad Glimmer got her happily ever after with her husband and her dad free by her side!! Five stars Ms. Cyn!!🥰

Awesome Read
Gideon was the perfect man for Glimmer. After losing her dad, he provided all the love she needed. Camille didn't love anyone, but Camille. Haze and the girls provided the family life she needed, but Gideon was her gentle giant. He was a natural protector. He gave Trick and Camille exactly what they deserved. He let everyone know that his wife wasn't to be touched. Awesome read!

Unexpected Forever
Glimmer and Gideon's story came together because of necessity and protection. Very good storyline and quick read. Gideon was immediately drawn to Glimmer and made her protection his responsibility. I loved that they both had the same friends that became their family. I love this story so much that I'll be jumping to Haze's story in the BLP MC Series Book 11. Then I'll come back to finish this BLP Breeds Series.

Guard Dawg!
Whew! I love me a nigga named Gideon! He's been the best since he was just a little jit. Glimmers mother was crazy as hell and i was ready to throw hands. She pissed me off so damn bad. She deserved so much worse than what happened to her. Shout out to VK for their protection and handling Trick after the whole setup ordeal. Wild times. Great story.

Gideon and Glimmer
I loved the gangsta and unhinged side of this story. I wish we would have gotten one more scene of Gideon being in go mode but the one we git was crazy enough. The way he did not play about Glimmer from the start made me love them all the more. But when Glimmer beat that girl up in the bar I just knew they both had that crazy in them. Definitely a good read
