What All In means to Ben Knight: Support your Brothers, Lift up your women, Do better for more. Disabled is not in his vocabulary, He’ll never give up and never give in. Ben Knight is not only All In, He’s Badass personified, He is the Leader.
L. Ann started with the Baxters and followed that with multiple series and genres. While her books feature paranormal, FBI, ex-military and Badass Bikers, L. Ann is writing about the strong women that these men need in their life to help right the world's wrongs and keep their small part of the world safe. The women are extraordinary, strong and determined to make a difference. The men fight for right in every book. Yes, they kill people. Yes, the MC shoots at the bad guys’ feet to cause them pain. Yes, some throw tampons at each other regularly. That being said, they do these things while stopping human trafficking and experimentation, bringing their world into legitimate businesses, fighting gangs to keep drugs away from their town and kids, keep women sheltered safely while trying to stop domestic abuse. These are men that don’t leave a pack, Team member or Brother behind. They don’t treat women as possessions and they don’t cheat. Respect takes on an honorable meaning. Women and kids are cherished. Everyone is looked out for and everyone is equal. L. Ann has made amazing worlds, tackled the taboo subjects and made it easy to imagine living in a world where your protection comes from the vampires, shifters, freaky kids, albinos and orientals, military turned FBI and some Badass Bikers. With readers writing about rereading the series over and over, she feels like she’s told her characters’ stories in a way that would make them proud. Every book will make you laugh, every book will make you angry for the wrong that happens in the world. Every book will make you cry for the pain that a character feels. Every book gives you hope that we may just get it right yet
I have loved little ben from the 1st book! I was so excited that he got his own book! I loved getting to a book from his view point! LB and Lily were just too cute! I loved that they didn't have everything perfect from the beginning that they had to work for their happy! L.Ann Marie is pretty awesome and I always love getting her new books. I love the brotherhood and feel like more people should be like them with helping others and showing people how to be strong. I wish there world was one we could live in. Any book where I get more of Steve Knight is also a bonus. He was my favorite and I've loved seeing how he is with LB growing up and becoming the man he is now! I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a great read!
love this author and love this series. "clean" mc soap opera. take down outlaw bikers, evildoers, human traffickers...love, sex, laughter, tears... Re-read in april, 2017...Still good. Re-read again in September, 2018. Good story and great characters! Revisited during covid pandemic in august, 2020.
DISCLAIMER TO THOSE READING MY REVIEW: This review is my personal opinion, it may contain swearing, quotes, rants, and spoilers!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK....
I want some pink goggles!!!!!
Talk about an emotional roller coaster! I laughed, cried, got pi**ed off, and laughed some more. This was an AMAZING addition to the Princes of Prophecy series. Little Ben and Lily's story. Lily has been LB's for as far back as I can remember, and their story was even better then I hoped it would be. I am not going to say ,I have about what happened because I don't know to give anything away. But I will say you get it all with this book. An awesome love story, the angst and grit of what's going on with the MC, and the laugh out loud funny sh*t that is always going on within the MC family. I can't wait to read Sheila's story next!!
I was given this book on the release day party. I enjoyed Leader very much. Started reading one afternoon and finished the next morning, Very hard to put down. Just love the MC kids. Now that most of them are grown up they are even better. LB has a lot on his shoulders and is doing a fine job, with lots of help from the inter circle. And finally LB and Lily get together. He has loved her since they were kids. I laughed and cried and was upset. It is a book that is wrote like you where there. Easy to follow. I highly recommend this book. The whole series in fact.
I’ve looked forward to Little Ben’s story since The Princes got their own series. Granted, I’ve been getting a bit annoyed with him and some of his “activities” while waiting for Lily, but he quickly earned my forgiveness and then some.
Little Ben has always known Lily was his, but her father’s death and the ugly secrets that came out led to her mother taking her away from the only family she’d ever known. When Lily and her sister finally make their way back, he learns the hard way that just because you know someone is yours doesn’t mean it’s okay to treat them like a possession. Reading through this I felt like a little communication on both of their parts could have gone a long way and saved them years worth of misunderstandings.
Lily’s life went from having a loving family to imploding in the blink of an eye. Both parents showed they had dark sides which was extremely confusing to a young girl, and as the secrets just kept unraveling, she doubted everything she knew. Finding her way back was hard especially with Ben making things worse even though that’s the last thing he wanted to do. I applauded Lily in her need to make him show that she wasn’t just his but that he belonged to her too. Lily’s heart won me over, but when she showed her backbone was when my respect and admiration for this young woman reached a new high.
As things progressed and Ben showed Lily the true meaning of being his Old Lady, he became my favorite hero of all L Anne Marie’s books. He showed Lily and everyone else what the true meaning of “all in” really is. His actions when things fell apart had me tearing up, and smiling at the same time. His steadfast loyalty and love not only for his wife but also towards his people even when his world had fallen apart embodied the qualities of a true leader.
The freaky abilities of the members of the Princes of Prophecy MC are getting freakier and people take notice. More towns clamor to become part of the Prince Properties covered areas, but it seemed each town takeover had the exact same issues come up, which was eye roll inducing. I think one town per book with some originality in the problems would have been a better way to go.
There were still some serious editing issues and once again I found myself having to backtrack to see who was talking to who, which drives me freaking crazy. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed Leader and look forward to the next adventure of this crazy group.
This is my favorite of the Princes of Prophecy series so far. This series has a lot of the second generation characters from the Baxter and MC series, plus others from the local Native American reservations in both the MC's and Princes' locations. It is a good idea to read both the Baxter and MC series first, but you probably can also start at the beginning of the Princes of Prophecy series or the MC series, which would be my recommendation.
Prez (Little Ben) has been a part of the MC series from very early on as he is the son of Steve and Jess (in Knight), and we got to know Lily early on too since she is the daughter of an MC member. The Princes of Prophecy series plays up the magical elements that also have been happening since the author's first book.
Ben and Lily are "all in" to each other, which also means the entire group is also all in to support their relationship. Almost no one in the three series has vanilla sex, even though there is real love all around, and the love is deep (parents who love their kids, kids who love their, friends who love friends, people who love their country). This book is no exception and has the s(m)exiness and the deep love.
L Ann Marie is one of the authors I read right as she delivers a book. I enjoy the characters, the dialogue, the family dynamics, and how the idea of brotherhood and being a good person is at the center of every story.
(My only quibble is with some of the simplistic writing that sometimes throws me off what is truly being said. If I go back and re-read, I usually can figure out what is meant, but a truly efficient editor could help with this «deeper» level of editing since the problem lies in three areas: pronoun/antecedent agreement, subject/verb agreement, and misplaced modification. This book is nicely edited for surface problems, though. This focus on deeper-level editing is just a suggestion to the author and her editor(s) because I do like and have liked her storytelling abilities since I read her first book.)
Thanks for reading! And thanks to the author for her dedication to her writing.
his review is from: Leader: Book Three (Princes of Prophecy 3) (Kindle Edition) Oh my....what can I say this book has been eagerly anticipated and its come at just the right time in the series. Ben Knight has been on a journey of discovery and enlightenment his whole life. Born to Jess and Steve Knight and into the Mc lifestyle this is all LB knows. Although he has many gifts not many people know his abilities other than his father and a few close friends.this is to keep him safe. Now firmly ensconced in RI The Prince of Phrophecy Mc is becoming established and accepted although there will always be resistance from a few. Prez as he's known or LB is discovering just what his path is truly about with the help of Dakota and the Moheghan tribe. All through his life he's known who he's meant to be with unfortunately Lily hasn't had the same consistency in her life with her father dying and her mother proving to be very fickle. It takes a few mistakes from LB but eventually he shows her his heart and proves his love. Once he brings her home things progress quickly unfortunately tragedy strikes but throughout all this LB keeps strong and Lily recovers. Throughout this book is drama, love and some amazing acts of trust and belief, truly inspiring to read ..I couldn't put it down. This was so worth the wait I can't recommend this book highly enough..
Little Ben and Lily are finally together. Even Little Ben needs Patches list to be sure he is making Lily happy. The Princes and MC Baxter's finally track down and eliminate the big threat to them, but not without tragic consequence. Smaller threats are still an issue. Little Ben shines as a leader through it all. His officers know their jobs. His extended family give unwavering support. They are able to expanded to other towns many who embrace the brand of safety that the Prince's offer. Lily with the help of Uncle Danny and Dakota, put together a nonprofit to help the homeless and Vets in need. Alex has grown into a great brother. Helping Little Ben with the babies when Lily wasn't able. Working as an assistant to Jared Baxter at the lab. Even coming up with a program that helps both Vets and pound dogs. Alex shows what it means to be a good brother in everything he does. Steve Knight, still my favorite. His duct tape solutions and dog training made me smile. Loved Lily and Little Ben's story. The Princes and MC Baxter's are making the world a better place and are still badasses.
I fall in love with this prophecy series again with every book I read. I enjoy immersing myself in the characters and their lives. I learn something good with each and every book. This is a tough group of men with golden hearts who believe in giving good, and bad sometimes in forceful ways to the bad guys. And it's about the women they love who are equality string. 4out of 5 because I really think you have to have read the other books to follow all the wonderful characters and their special abilities. You can still enjoy this book as a standalone but to fully enjoy its depth, you should read the other books.
This is the book I have been looking forward to since L Ann Marie said she was write the Princes of Prophecy Series. We have watch Little Ben grow up from book 1 in the MC Series. This book has it all. It has you laughing, crying, yelling, getting excited, and breaking your heart. LB has become the Leader that we all knew he would be. He faces some very hard decisions not only for the Princes' but also with his family. He true shows what ' All I'm really means.
I am super happy that Prez finally starts his story with Lilly! Their story was not all sunshine and roses but full of love!! I love how the books still are interwoven and they helping those in surrounding towns. What a brilliant program for sheltering the vets. Wish we had something in place for them now, we do not do enough for those that have fought for our freedom and come home homeless. Great book and great sharing of awareness! Glad there is another to read!! Can't wait!
"Leader" (Princes of Prophecy Book 3) by L. Ann Marie is a great read. This is the story of Little Ben (LB, Prez) and Lily. I loved this book! It has passion, drama, brotherhood, leadership, close family & friends, humor, some tearjerker moments, and much more! I can't wait to read what happens next in this awesome series full of interesting & entertaining characters. Highly recommend to all fans of MC romance.
This series gets better with each book written. I again was pulled into this book making feel like I was part of it once again, I love that about L Ann Marie's book. Laughed with the characters and cried, as I wasn't expecting what happens. So was shocked. This is a really great story of what a person will do for someone that is loved. L Ann Marie has written one hell of an awesome book. I look forward to the next in the series to see where it goes from here.
Wow...is really all I can say.. I'm recommending this series and the Author. I cried more than once in this book. The storyline was great.. I had been wanting to know Little Bens story.. I hope we have lot more of this series. Lily surprised me.. But I love her and LB as couple.. Ben's little on the freaky kinky side lol.. Can't wait to read more..
Loved Little Ben's story. I've loved watching him grow up with each additional book in this series, and it was great to finally see him find his happy ever after. I would have liked more mention of Elizabeth in this story, his sister seemed to not appear which i found a little odd, since there is such a strong family focus on these books. Can't wait for the next book.
Little Ben has known Lily was his forever he thought she wasn't ready. Little Ben has to be the glue as the Prez and he forgets to let Lily help. They finally find solid ground and it's a awesome ride!!!
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Little Ben's book but out was so much more than I expected. Out of The Prophecy books so far, Ben and Lilly's is my favorite, so far. Thank you for another fabulous book,I cannot wait to see who is next to go all in.
While there are editing problems, the storylines are so engaging they become easier to ignore. If they were fixed the entirety of this author's work would rate 5 stars in my opinion.
This is my favorite series of books and they just keep getting better. Little Ben and Lily are an awesome couple and their twins Phoenix and Teller are cool little kids. Excited for this series to keep having more great stories.
I have written this review two times before. No idea where they disappeared to but I am sure that somewhere in the internet atmosphere they are floating around. * * * * * * * * * *
Ben "Little Ben" "LB" "Prez" Knight - son of Steve Knight (VP of the Brothers by Blood) and his wife Jess, named for Ben James Pres of the Brothers by Blood, always has been a leader of the MC kids and is now the Prez of the Princes of Prophecy motorcycle club, he is a "reader" and part Mohegan
Lily - daughter of Casper, a deceased member of the Brothers by Blood, she left the area with her mother after her father died, Little Ben has always told her she belonged to him even though they had never had a romantic relationship, when she graduates from college she and Little Ben do get together and decide they are "all in" with each other, they marry and have twins
Teller and Phoenix - twin sons of Little Ben and Lilly, born at 4# (+/-), were helped at birth by Jeremy who said Phoenix had died and came back thus the name he gave him
Jeremy - a seer, reader and healer for both the Brothers by Blood MC and the Princes of Prophecy.
Jacob - Jeremy's twin brother who also does a lot of Jeremy's talking for him
Aubrey - had been a sex slave as a child, was rescued along with her mother Marty, and has been protected by Jeremy and Jacob ever since
This is little Ben and Lily’s story! Lily’s dad Casper was the PD chief for the MC but was killed on duty. There were lies her mother told about her dad and caused some issues for her. She wants Ben Knight but isn’t sure he is hers even though he says she is his. Getting together proves to be challenging with the nature of their lives. There is danger and threats at every turn, but this strong couple will make it. Leader is a touching story of what all in really means. Leader is an action-packed book with a healthy side of romance earns 5 stars!
Loved this MC romance story about Little Ben and Lily. Little Ben is the epitome of an almost perfect man, for me anyway. Lily was a strong and supportive woman. Loved their journey to their HEA. Well developed characters and storyline. Totally recommend it 🔥😍🔥
I really liked Little Ben and Lily’s story. Had so many emotions, happy’ sad, intense and more. I just love Alex. Everyone needs an Alex in their life. The last several pages with the dogs was hilarious.
