Yes, I enjoyed this story.

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!

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.

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’m swooning loved everything minute of this book

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.

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.

Loved It

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!

[Laya Cooper · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!!!

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!!🥰

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.

[Aaliyah Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Glimmer and Gideon relationship was good to see how they build it up from an unconventional start but her mother made me so mad how she treated her daughter. I was happy that Gideon was saving glimmer from and unwanted marriage and he save and protected her with his life and I was like dame can I have a man like that lol . Love this book

[Ashanti Burton · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 ⭐️. This was exactly what I needed. Marriage of convenience. Love love love Gideon. He was so sweet and all man. Had me smiling. Fast paced. I don’t think I have any complaints about this. Definitely recommend.

[Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need me a Gideon

Gideon and Glimmer had a 1 of a kind love. 1 that grew from nothing to be so meaningful. Kyomi, Deja and Haze are family you would always want and need. Can’t say too much because I want everyone to experience this love story.

[WhatKiReading · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed Gideon & Glimmer.

Gideon was a gentle giant & Glimmer was so sweet. I’m happy she found her way back to her family.

Can’t wait to read about Haze, I got a feeling he’s going to be an unhinged MMC.

Vowed

Good read! The beginning dew me in right away. Gideon was my guy, the gentle giant got vicious for his lady in distress. Glimmer was sweet and trusting, Camille was a mess. Juke legit let her ruin their lives !

VK

There is nothing like a mothers love. Well I could’ve done without Camille and Glimmer could’ve too. Glad Gideon had more sense than his wife because it could’ve turned out worse for her. Glad everything worked out. Loved Gideon and Glimmer together

Bowed to a Vicious King

This was really a very nice story. O love how Gideon and Haze treated Glimmer from the day she arrive at the compound. I love reading your books.
Thank you again for a great read.

😘😘😘

Gideon gave Glimmer her life back. He was love, protection and peace to her. I love the bond that the motorcycle club had, when one had a problem everyone had a problem. Good and quick read.

[Dorthy Minor · Rating 5 out of 5]

From start to finish’s it had me on pins and needles. I love the way Glimmer took charge of her life. To run away from Trick and run straight into her new found love. A great book all around. Five stars plus five more

[Meme · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really liked Gideon…he loved hard and was a protector. Glimmer is very naive because when has your mother had your back? The book did last a little too long

[Tonya · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great story. Gideon was the man, attentive, and a protector. Ready to read about Haze.
