Union City Kings Claimed & Untouchable: A Faxx and Crescent Story

by E. Bowser

In Union City, love isn’t soft. It’s possession. It’s protection. It’s power.

Crescent 'Cent' Wellington is finally stepping into a life she fought like hell to claim. College classes. Motherhood. A future built on her terms. After everything she’s survived, she’s determined to move forward, not just as a woman shaped by her past, but as one who owns her future.
But freedom comes with a cost, because Crescent doesn’t belong to an ordinary man.
Fransisco “Faxx” Wellington is control wrapped in calm, violence sharpened into precision, and devotion that borders on obsession. To the world, he’s unhinged. To Crescent, he’s the man who worships her, protects her, and reminds anyone watching exactly who she belongs to.

And people are watching.

On campus, attention turns into interest. Interest turns into risk. One wrong look, one wrong move, and lines begin to blur between Crescent’s new life and the dangerous world she thought she could keep separate. Faxx sees it before she says a word, and he doesn’t wait for threats to become reality, because in his world, prevention is survival.

As Crescent navigates classrooms, friendships, and the fragile normalcy she’s building, outside pressures close in. A looming custody battle threatens her family. Old power structures refuse to release their grip. And beneath it all, the tension between independence and possession begins to tighten.

She wants her future.
He refuses to lose what’s his.
And in a city where love is as dangerous as the enemies circling them, Crescent is forced to face one
Being claimed by a man like Faxx doesn’t make you weak.

It makes you untouchable.

Listennnnnn.....

At this point, returning to Union City feels less like reading a book and more like going home.

Every time E drops us back into this world, I show up ready to Ryde At Dawn!!!

And baybeeeeee when I say ...

Claimed & Untouchable gave me EVERYTHING I wanted and then some... owweeeeeee

The way E writes these characters is pure magic. They don't feel fictional, they feel like family. They feel like people I've grown with, laughed with, cried with, and rooted for over countless pages.

So, I don't just read about tthe U.C.K. Family, I experience life with them.

This book .....

The chemistry....

The loyalty....

The love.......

The fire....

The Club...

Every page reminded me why I fell in love with Union City in the first place.

Baybbbeeee .. chokehold I say... chokehold!!!

Omg that cliffhanger Brice really. Those four are something. Faxx love him and Henny organized craziness love it. Cent girl when will they leave you alone. Tali you surprised me but you took care of business.

Need the next book.

[Erika Tennille · Rating 3 out of 5]

Products of the Streets will always be one of my favorite urban romance series of all time. This is the story of Faxx and Cent...and it is different from what you would probably expect if you have read the series and the follow up books (AOK). I need to really sit with this one. Although I did enjoy it...it was just different and alot slower than the previous books. This book does end with a cliff hanger so there will be another book to follow. Maybe after I read that one, things will make a little more sense for me.
I rated this book a 3.5⭐️

[Dawnyale Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love me some FAXX

Cent got on my nerves like she always do ... Always putting herself in harks way not paying attention trying to be "normal" like your not so stop trying your life is different period

[Chardajah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was good

- Now I’ve been out of my POTS bubble for a minute( haven’t read AOK) but this was good and very easy to follow along

- Even though I feel like it’s a disconnect from whatever goes on in Paetron stories but don’t really take away another just make you curious

Some parts did dragged with over explaining stuff, and some parts did seem like they repeated within the chapter

I can say I miss these guys so much. I wish we got to hear from Dea and Oz a little more.


One thing I will always give E Bowser, is my girl gonna write erotica but the plot is right next to it can’t wait to see what happens next

🖤 Welcome Back to Union City 🖤

What happens when one of the most beloved families in the Union City Kings universe gets the spotlight? You get a novella packed with unwavering loyalty, deep emotional bonds, and enough heat to set your Kindle on fire. Union City Kings Claimed & Untouchable: A Fax & Crescent Novella is a reminder that the heart of this series has always been found and chosen family. E. Bowser delivers that message with passion, chemistry, and just the right amount of suspense.

While Union City Kings Claimed & Untouchable: A Fax & Crescent Novella felt a little more mellow than some of the other books in the Union City Kings series, it was absolutely perfect for what it was meant to be.

One of my favorite parts was getting more time with the Quad. Seeing Faxx, Crescent, Tali, and Henny together reminded me why they're one of the most unforgettable dynamics in the series. Their bond feels authentic, their chemistry remains unmatched, and their family unit continues to be one of the strongest aspects of the UCK universe.

And let's talk about Faxx and Sandstorm. I love both equally. 😜 Faxx remains firmly at the top of my book boyfriend list. Protective, loyal, (absolutely NUTS) and always willing to do whatever it takes for his family, he continues to show why he's my favorite horsemen.

Speaking of which... the spice was definitely 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️. E. Bowser knows exactly how to balance passion with emotional connection, and every scene felt purposeful rather than thrown in.

Even with the softer family-focused moments, Ms. Bowser still delivered the layered storytelling and intricate plot threads that readers have come to expect. Just when you think you're settling in for a peaceful ride, she reminds you that nothing in Union City is ever that simple.

If you're a Union City Kings fan, this novella is a must-read. It gives you everything you love about the series: family, loyalty, chemistry, suspense, and THEE BEST spice!

⭐ Rating: 5/5
🌶️ Spice: 5/5
🔄 Re-read Worthy: Absolutely
❤️ Emotional Impact: The cliffhanger 😱

Still Ridin’ for Union City, But I Need More Smoke 🔥

Now, I’m always gonna be seated for anything Union City. And anytime Faxx, Cent, and Henny pop up, it’s an automatic win for me. Butttt… this one felt a little lighter and a lot safer than what I’m used to from this world.

With therapy, unpacking memories, and digging into the root of everything, I thought we’d get more answers. Instead, I finished feeling like I still don’t fully know the why behind a lot of what’s going on. The glimpses of the Quad were nice, but honestly, I wanted more scenes with all four of them together. I really wanted to see this dynamic in action and understand how they’re making it work.

Cece is still down bad for Travis, and I’m not mad at it. Watching them navigate parenthood continues to be one of my favorite parts because they truly embody the saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Overall, I’m still a fan, but this installment didn’t hit with the same intensity I’ve come to expect. It left me hanging more than satisfied. Here’s hoping the next book brings the answers, the tension, and the edge-of-my-seat moments I’ve been waiting for.

Another beautiful addition to the UCK series

Ms. Bowser was all in her feels with this one. Not only has she gone and reaffirmed why Henny is my favourite Horseman, but she just made me fall for the Quad all over again. Absolutely adore the chemistry and dynamic between Henny/ Tali and Faxx/Crescent but since the Christmas story we been told the unconditional love among these 4 got mega upgraded and it shows all throughout this book.

The fact that even more vile and disgusting truths are still being revealed about Crescent's parentage, torture and imprisonment, abductions and the continued stalking... we gotta wait til the end of the series for our girl Cent to see the end of this fear, betrayal and trauma, Ms. B?

The spice level in the entire UCK and AOK collection may be volcanic level, but you see the overall plot? Completely exceptional storytelling, with the most certifiably unhinged but ridiculously endearing set of found family. Can't wait for AOK 3 after this, because the streets and the heights in Union City, Clapton and Del Mar bout to be drowing in red and debris.

I just love Francesca and Travis 😂This little ni#@a already starting drama for my child Did you see this sh@# Did you take me of the call list nizza I'm laughing so hard loved it!

I’m proud to say I was one of the people that asked about this story in E. Bowser’s Patreon. Closed mouths do not get fed. I know she hates to see me and my conspiracy theories about this quad coming in her chats.

Faxx & Crescent are my favorite couple from the U.C.K. family. This book catches up with them while they are navigating so many changes in their lives. The quad is going strong with Henny & Tali. Crescent now has custody of her little sister Dylan. Their daughter CeCe is still obsessed with Chucky, I meant Travis. Faxx is slipping into Sandstorm often, scaring the hell out of everybody.

After going through hell over the years, Crescent wants to try to live a normal life. She’s in college, making new friends and going out to the club. The only problem is there’s no such thing as a normal life in the U.c.k world. Bless her heart. I ate this story up. Yes, it does end on a cliffhanger. I’m sure part II will be out soon.

WHAT!

Now E... WHY would you do that?! 😩🤦🏽‍♀️
I'm over here tossing and turning, about ready to throw my iPad because... JUST WHY?! 🤣
So many secrets, so many moving pieces, and somehow I'm STILL no closer to figuring out who's behind all of this! Every time I think I've got it... BOOM! Another twist. 😵‍💫
One thing about E. Bowser? When it comes to juggling a million moving parts and completely twisting your mind, they're gonna get you EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 👏🏽
And Faxx?! Whew! That man is EVERYTHING and then some. The way he loves Cent? Baby... that's the kind of loyalty that has me smiling every time he steps on the page. ❤️
But let's be clear... Tali stole the show for me! 😂 Sis can't NOBODY tell Ms. Mamas a thing when it comes to Cent, and I was here for every single second of it!
And lastly... Brice Atticus, Alfalfa, Altitude... whatever your name is... COUNT. YA. DAYS!!!! 👊🏽😤 Because I'm keeping receipts, and I haven't forgotten!

[Ornella M · Rating 5 out of 5]

E. Bowser never disappoints.

Every time I think I've figured out where the story is going, she proves me wrong.
The suspense kept me hooked from the begibbibg to the end and the plot twist at the end genuinely caught me off guard.

We get to see more of Crescent’s healing journey as she goes back to college, and I loved learning more about the dynamic between Crescent, Faxx, henny abd Tali. Their quad relationship felt even more developed in this book.

I also loved all the connections to the rest of the Union City Kings universe. It makes everything feel bigger and more immersive.

The spice is, as always, top tier, but it never takes away from the story. The plot, the twists, the action, the emotions… everything is balanced perfectly.

[KindledbyKisses · Rating 5 out of 5]

Crescent and Faxx… my lovely half of the quad alongside Henny and Tali! ❤️🔥 This book, one of the three books in this series, took us so much deeper into Crescent’s background while also giving us a glimpse into what her day-to-day life looks like—going to school, working, being a mom, a wife, a sister-wife, and trying to remember that she’s still young and deserves to actually LIVE a little. Her husband constantly reminds her to live in the moment, to act normal, and to experience life as best as she can… even though we ALL know there’s no such thing as “normal” when it comes to the Union City Kings! 😂 Of course, everything eventually connects back to something deeper in Crescent’s past, and as we dig further, we discover that there’s a missing link, a missing piece, or a connection that hasn’t quite been uncovered yet. People are coming after Crescent and her sister Dylan because their blood has the ability to open vaults, and BABY… when it comes to his wife, his family, and his children, Faxx—aka Sandstorm—will go to ENDLESS lengths. There is absolutely no line he won’t cross when it comes to protecting the people he loves. But what really stood out to me was Crescent’s healing journey. We get to see all the work she’s putting in through therapy—by herself, with her husband, with the quad, and with the crew. As information continues to surface, it isn’t just helping them prepare for what’s coming; it’s also helping Crescent heal. She’s uncovering memories and painful pieces of her younger self that her mind may have buried or forgotten as a way of protecting her, but now those memories are more important than ever because they may hold the answers they need to survive what’s coming. And judging by the opponent they’re about to face, they are going to need EVERY advantage they can get! So buckle up, put your seatbelt on, and hold on tight because this ride is WILD! 😮‍💨🔥 Provocative, fun, adventurous, emotional, and full of twists that had me turning pages. And ladies… bring out the toys. 😉😂

[Echanele517 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another One!!!

This story was so good it aligned a lot of details and unspoken questions were answered. Crescent can’t catch a break! This story was full of the spice we love to see from the quad but also laced with the danger and anxiety known to appear with enemies are lurking that weren’t highly visible on the radar. I fear there is so much more to unfold with her story due to her sorted past. The cliff hangers always keep us wanting more. E. Bowser does what she always does well. Draws you in and just when she’s enraptured you she sneaks up and rips the rug. Great job again. I love it in this wild universe.

Back to Union City

Another installment of one of my favorite fictional worlds. Spoilers ahead. The Quad is back but the focus is mostly on our girl Crescent. She’s finally having a chance to finish the degree she’s work so hard to start. She’s moving different now because she is different. She has the love of people who value her and a men who will burn the world. But old shadows and new betrayals are on the horizon and Sandstorm has been let out to play. The Horsemen will ride and AOK business has been dipped in. The city is about to be live behind Cent so people better have said their prayers.

[Jamie Jackson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the story and loved spending time with these characters again, but as a reader who has followed the main series, I occasionally felt like I was missing context from side stories and Patreon content. There were several references and character developments that felt like they happened off-page, which made parts of the reading experience feel less seamless than I wanted. Dear Literary Ancestors, Please let the next installment be available to the general public and not locked behind a sold-out Patreon tier. Amen.

Omgggg

If I could I would be a permanent resident of Union City!!! I’m so locked in with UCK and AOK it’s unreal! I’m going to read their books every single time! The cube that is Faxx ,Crescent,Henny and Tali makes my soul happy!! I love the level of mutual understanding and genuine love they have for each other. Tali and Crescent are so lucky, they get to scream platinum and yes papi! This book is filled with BDE and I loved every minute of it! The way Faxx loves Crescent is unreal..that man does not play about her!! I hope there’s a part 2 ! 10/10 highly recommend

Get ready to see the quad in rare form!! 😍😍

E Bowser has written another classic Union City story!! Cent goes back to school & all hell breaks loose! Sandstorm comes out to play, Tali is territorial & Henny is still Henny 😏. Cent just wants to go to school, take care of her babies, be “normal” & bury her past. We all know, in the UCK world, nothing is normal. This is a page turner & you KNOW they’re gonna keep it nasty!! Ya’ll better tap in‼️ 😜🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Quad assemble! 👏🏾

Baby Faxx will forever be bae, do you hear me?!
Cent has grown so much over the series and I love that for her. They really won't leave my fav character alone! Henny and Tali are always a joy to read, and E knows how to keep you locked into the world. I finally took another reader's advice and ignored the visuals-and honestly, I'm glad I did because the story had me hooked.

OMG!!!

Why?! That ending has me all in my feelings. I did not expect that at all. Ms. Bowser please put me out of my misery and give me a part two expeditiously. I absolutely love Union City and these characters. Tali and Cent have become just as unhinged as their partners and friends. This book was well written, flowed well and definitely kept my attention. Worth every minute that I spent reading it!

We are back in Union City with my favorite couple Francisco "Faxx" and Crescent "Cent" Wellington. Cent is back in school trying to have something normal just for her while also thinking of a way to get her lick back. But all is not as it seems with her school friends. Something is always going down in Union City. I did not see the end happening the way it did and cannot wait for part 2.

I can’t say love enough

This book was absolutely amazing. I loved seeing the quad outside the bedroom. The dynamic of each character as well as the glimpses into the partner swaps and their mutual love, protection and respect for each other was top tier. Seeing Cent in our new normal was everything. I can’t wait to see what happens when those lights come back on 👀

Jaw on the mf floor!

I sincerely missed Crescent and Faxx and this gave me exactly what I needed. This book was a roller coaster ride with a twist and turn every time I thought things were good and settled. Thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait for what comes next. I will be waiting because Faxx is about to go nuts and I’m ready to see it all unfold.

When reading an E. Bowser book, you anticipate what can happen and get shocked by what actually happens the whole way through. This is such a page turner that you don't want to put down!
