5 Bella and Logan Stars
I loved this gorgeous novella based mainly around Bella and Logan, our H/h from the first book, 'Undaunted' - Undaunted
Bella is surrounded by women having babies and yet it hasn't happened yet for her and Logan. Life takes you down unexpected paths sometimes and Bella finds herself volunteering on the local NICU as a 'Cuddle Buddy' for babies whose parents /carers can not be with them all the time - or at all.
This was a quick but very enjoyable book. You definitely need to have read the previous books before reading this one. The camaraderie in the Club is clear but I also love that all the women have each others backs too. And ultimately, this is a love story so it was a treat to get more Bella and Logan time. It's great to see a couple whose story you have enjoyed previously, develop even more.
HEA? Yes
Cheating? No. Our Hero has eyes only for his woman, and vice versa.

Defy was the fourth book in the Kings of Retribution MC series by Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez.
It was a short novella catching us up on Logan and Bella, book one, as well as continuing to set the stage for future books. There was no drama other than life’s normal challenges and in the end it was a great “feel good” book as well as the perfect bridge for Unbreakable, Jake and Grace’s story.

What a quick, sweet but emotional addition to the series.
VP Logan of The Kings of Retribution MC and his sweet wife, Bella are having difficulties having a child after a miscarriage. Emerson tells Bella about a hugging program they have with newborns at her hospital and from there Bella gets attached to a sweet baby that she secretly names Breanna whose mother abandoned her after giving birth. Logan and Bella plans to adopt the baby not expecting it would take six months. Logan and Bella tells Logan's father, Demetri of the problem and almost immediately problem was solved and adoption is fast-tracked! And then guess what happens? SO SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This story also give the previous scenes of when Grace leaves Polson and Jake strikes out looking for her as well as the scene of when Emerson is assaulted and Quinn protects her from a drunk prospect from Rigg's Louisiana Chapter of the Kings MC!
Love this series as the MC family gets bigger and stronger!
5 Beautiful family stars!!!!

I loved Logan and Bella in book one. This book made me sad and happy. They’ve went through so much but in the end it’s amazing. Onward we go I’m ready for Jake and Graces story! Then Quinn I love that man as much as I love Reid.

Another great addition to this series. Logan and Bella's struggles with getting pregnant are very touching and filled with love. Looking forward to the next one in this series.

What a touching story about Bella and Logan we really enjoyed a glimpse into their lives as they are a favorite couple of ours from this series.
This novella was packed with a lot of emotion and the struggles some go through to create a family and how they chose to cope with their difficulties.I loved how Emerson talk about her work and what she was doing which lead Bella to participate in a worthy program and a program that would be perfect for Bella to set aside her own grief and help a child in need.
I love the relationship that Logan and Bella have between them as you can just see how in love with each other they are and they are just super sweet together and we love them as a couple.
I have to say I loved how the story played out. It was a beautiful tale with a happy ending which we love.Even though the story concentrated on Bella and Logan we loved seeing the other brothers and their families and just how all the men seem unbelievably happy with the wives and children and it put a huge smile on my face.
I loved Quinn's quote when he said something to the fact that not so long ago the pool and back yard would have been full of strippers but, now littered with kids families and toys .
Nothing but a sea of men with big grins....
Heart melting.....
A heart felt tale that we thoroughly enjoyed reading from beginning to end.
5 stars from us

Defy was a sweet short story following the struggles of Logan and Bella in their hopes of starting a family. I loved how the author portrayed the obsession that takes hold when your unable to conceive and how making a baby becomes the priority over enjoying the process. I also loved that Logan and Bella recognized this and decided to just relax and as life would have it things go one way and then your whole life changes. Overall Defy was a sweet addition to this series but I do stress it's important to read at least book 1 because there isn't much back story and your able to appreciate the story more if you've read their original book.

Out of the entire series Logan and Bella are my favorite couple and I was so happy to read more of them.
This novella shows a personal struggle for both which is heartbreaking but it also shows that their love is still going strong. Logan is still his alpha self and Bella is still his ride or die. She’s the baddest out of all the females in this series. These two still only have eyes for each other and Logan will do anything to give her the world.
Not to give away the novella away but there’s a bittersweet moment and then a very joyous moment. I love these two and can’t wait to read more on them in the other books. There story isn’t over, 😊

Defy sure knows how to jerk the tears out of you especially for being a novella. Authors-Sandy Alvarez & Crystal Daniels are such an awesome duo.
Bella and Logan are going through a rough patch when it comes to starting their little family. When Bella Decides to become a "cuddle Buddy" things change for the better. Will Logan and Bella finally get what they have been wanting, a family of their own?
Logan and Bella are my favorite couple out of the bunch, their love for each other is so strong for each other, it gives you hope. I can not wait for the next installment of the series.

This book can not be read as a stand-alone because it's about characters in the first book Logan and Bella. I loved Logan and Bella from the first book and was excited to see that this couple got another book.
Logan and Bella are having a hard time trying to convince a baby deciding that the only way to have a baby is by invertro but when that doesn't work Bella trashes everything because it's ruining everything from her marriage, her happiness and more. Not believing that she would ever have a child of her own Bella volunteers to work in the nursery where she falls in love with this little girl, and she knows that baby was meant to be her.
This is an amazing story about Logan and Bella finally getting the family they have been waiting for so long. Absolutely loved this story.

I was so happy to check in with the couple that started The Kings of Retribution MC series, Logan and Bella. While a few of the other members of the MC have been busy falling in love, Logan and Bella have been trying to start their family. Unfortunately, things don't always go the way you plan. Luckily before their relationship falters, they decide to live life to the fullest and enjoy each other. But will fate step in and finally give them a baby?
The sister duo of Daniels and Alvarez just keeps getting better and better. Their characters are wonderfully real, people you would want in your life. Logan and Bella are a fabulous couple and seeing their relationship grow was so sweet. I really don't want to give too much away. I will say, I couldn't put this down. I had to read it straight through to the end.I cannot wait to see where this series takes us! 5 stars for Defy!

I really don't know were I should turn to... Books are piling up so fast that I can't possibly keep up.
Don't take this as a complain, because it's not, but I need to tell you my daily drama. Lol
If I could read all day I would but being a mom takes time...
Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez have been on my book life for a while now and each book drove me crazy... In a good way of course.
And The Kings of Retribution MC is a series that you can't miss...
Defy is their latest release and it's the fourth book from this series. This book continues to explore Logan and Bella's story. But I need to tell you something, in order for you to understand this book better, you should read the first 3 books. Trust me... You'll love it.
I missed these two. They continue to be the badass couple that took shi*** from no-one but life can be a bit*** sometimes.
These two are struggling to get pregnant but things haven't been easy and this is making Bella really upset so she volunteers to work in a nursery... And I can't say more.
This book, like the others from this series, is freaking awesome. Each chapter got me even more addicted and I couldn't stop reading... No matter what happenes I couldn't stop.
The plot is superb, very intense and breathtaking with some ups and downs into the mix.
There were parts of the story that I wanted to get into it and hold them. Their suffering was palpable and agonizing.
Let me just say that I'm even more in love with this series. I want so much more from all characters...
Crystal and Sandy... What can I say that hadn't been said before? Nothing so I'll stick with what I really want to say. You two are amazing and deserve all success in the world. This series is of charts and I can't get enough of them... More please...
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I Voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book
I fell in love with this couple in the first book and its always nice to see what happens after the 'happily ever after' moment.
This is such a sad story, but its also a lot of twists and turns that will make you fall in love with this series.
Logan and Bella have everything they wanted except for the one thing they really want. They have been trying to start a family but its been a tough road and it doesn't seem like its getting any easier.
Trying to have a family is not fun anymore and now its just feels like its another chore they have to do, and because of that their marriage is taking a huge strain.
Can they overcome this, will their hopes of a family be something that is in the cards for them or will they have to learn to live without it.
For some this might be a hard story to read but trust me it is emotional and sad but also gives you hope that you are never alone and that you have family waiting to help out any way they can.

I fell in love with Logan and Bella in Undaunted. Two of my favorite characters ever, their story brought me and endless amount of happiness with the start of this series. Obviously I didn’t think it was possible to love them more. Sandy and Crystal proved that wrong with Defy. I can love them more. So, so much more. They packed such an incredible and moving story into this novella! I went through an entire range of emotions while reading this, from tears to pure joy making my heart feel full.
Logan and Bella continue to have a love that knows no bounds. Through ups and downs they’ve remained one of the strongest most deeply in love couples I have ever read. Defy just takes that love to a whole knew level. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better addition to their story!

Wow I didn't think I could love Logan and Bella anymore than I did in the first book but boy was I wrong. Their love is strong but has been tested by devastating loss and grief. They decided to reevaluate their priorities and take time to enjoy each other away from work. Their MC friends and family come together to help support them in their journey. From the grief they find joy and happiness at a time when they needed it the most. This was truly a beautiful story I won't soon forget. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for them and the rest of the MC gang! Sandy and Crystal have done it again!!! Loved Logan and Bella ♥️🔥

In Defy By Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels, we get to see more of the couple who started the series Logan and Bella!!
Sandy and Crystal have truly developed as authors and it reflects in their story telling. This may be the 4th book in the series but you would think they've been writing for quite some time. These two wonderful ladies take a hold of your heart and take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride with the highs and lows from each of their characters, but with this one, this one made me feel like Logan and Bella's pain was mine too. Bravo Ladies!! Can't wait for book 5!!

I can't say enough how much I love these two amazing women's books! The Kings of Retribution MC series is by far one of my favorites! In Defy you get more of Logan and Bella's love story and who doesn't want more of those two? I absolutely love how devoted this couple is to each other and their family. It just really doesn't get any better than this series.
April 20, 2018
Well Crystal and Sandy have done it again. I was provided and ARC for this book. It was an amazing novella. I usually don’t like novellas because I feel like they’re too short,don’t give you enough content and are rushed. This book was perfect and not rushed at all. This book was amazing and a great addition to the series. I seriously love this MC and the characters. I love Logan and Bella!! Even though they struggled they made it through happy!! Great book!!
April 20, 2018
I received an ARC of this book for my honest opinion. we skip forward a couple of years to Logan and Bella trying to start a family but having a really hard time. it was really great to catch up with all of the characters. Sandy and Crystals writing gets better and better and they never loose sight of the characters. Very well written book, it had heartbreak joy and alot of love. I highly recommend.
April 24, 2018
Ok, first of all just wow! The Kings never stop amazing me. After a devastating blow Bella and Logan bounce back with the strength and determination that we have all come to know and love from these women and the men that are lucky enough to have them. This one definitely gave me all the feels. A must read for sure.
May 2, 2018
Logan & Bella will always hold a special place in my heart & be one of my favorite couples. Defy was so heartbreaking when it first started but slowly it became the happy ending Bella & Logan deserve. I can't wait to get more of the Kings! I feel like something more happened to Grace & I just plain want to see Quinn try to win over Emerson....thats going to be a good one!
April 19, 2018
I know this review is going to be short and sweet. Just as this continuing story of Logan and Bella. With that being said ladies you have done it again. This 1 pulls at your heartstrings and makes you realize just how important family is. I will not give any spoilers, however I will say that I'm so happy that Logan and Bella get what they both really deserve. The love that these men have for their ladies is what every woman dreams of.
April 19, 2018
Great story to catch up with where it all started , Bella and Logan . A couple years later Bella and Logan are really trying to make their family whole by starting a family. When trying to make that happen is no longer fun and more a chore and disappointment at every turn , the relationship takes a nose drive. Read this book to see if Bella and Logan are able to make their dream of a family come true and catch with all the others in this story! I did receive this book for a honest review!
April 20, 2018
This novella is a continuation of Bella and Logan's story...I love getting to read about the "ever afters". Although this is not all sunshine and roses, they have some serious struggles, I loved reading about the way they handled them together! Another wonderful story from these authors about characters I love! Can't wait to read more about this group :)
April 20, 2018
This was such a great addition to the series! It is always fun when you can revisit some of your favorite characters and get a little bit more of their story. This book gives a little insight to all the characters that you've come to love and sets up for the next few which I myself cannot wait to read! Great job!
