THE BLACK STALLION TRILOGY
Now, all three of The Black Stallion Trilogy are together in one book. What an amazing fast paced, action packed, romantic suspense story with power, danger, and desire, which keeps the pages turning. There is an interesting cast of characters, along with mystery, suspense, murder, and revenge. The Steele men are dominant, powerful, and know how to accomplish the nearly impossible. For Maddox, Stryder, and Anson, they will not only be heroes, but they will also find love.
Maddox
REMEMBER, I’M THE COWBOY WHO KEEPS HIS PROMISES
Sometimes in life, a debt is to be repaid, and Hadi Nazar has called in his marker to Drake Steele. Words have it trouble is brewing, and his family is in danger, and he needs the Steeles to help protect them.
The Steele family run a safe house of sorts called the Black Stallion Ranch. It is similar to witness protection, but many of those they protect are part of the underground. The Nazar family has their share of dirty dealings, money laundering, and corruption. From the horse auction to the yacht, the bombs, and mass murder, Drake and Maddox must do what they can to protect the lone survivor, Adira Nazar, and bring her back to Texas without anyone knowing she is even alive.
The story will take many twists and turns with this covert operation. Maddox has never become involved with a client, but there is something about this exotic spitfire, Adira, that stirs his ire and his blood. They have many run-ins, that will land her over his knee. She keeps some secrets from him; that will come to light as their tête-à-tête plays out.
“He had full control of her heart, her soul, and her body.”
“Why did she like pain, to submit, and to be dominated?”
“He taught her that to truly live was to embrace life to its fullest.”
The chemistry and interaction between Maddox and Adira sizzle on the pages. The story is explicit in sex scenes.
Stryder
YOU’RE HIS WORLD, AND NOW YOU’VE ONLY ADDED TO HIS UNIVERSE
The second part of the story will pick up with Stryder and Anson going to Russia to a privately held sex slave auction conducted by Vasily Poplov, the man who was responsible for the annihilation of Adira’s family on their yacht. As with the first story, it revolves around mystery, suspense, corruption, greed, power, and this time, young women kidnapped and sold into sexual slavery. The Steele family know that can’t save them all, but are hoping to learn who the other buyers are and from the woman they buy, more about the other women.
Sweet, young, and naïve, Zoya Morozova left her family farm and moved to Moscow only to be befriended by Katarina Petrova, a plant for Poplov. Drugged, kidnapped, and held captive along with twelve other girls, and to learn their fate will include being sold into sexual slavery, she will capitulate when they threaten the lives of her family.
Stryder sees something in the eyes of Zoya and knows she is the woman they must bid on and win, no matter the cost. Leaving the auction with their purchase has them on pins and needles. The first order of business will be to get Zoya safely at the ranch, and then the next plan will be learning more of their operation.
The plot is intense and keeps the pages turning in this life and death challenge. It takes the reader into the seedier world of human sex trafficking, and the men who buy women. The Steele family uses money, brains, skills, and power to make things happen, even if it is to go to a slave auction and buy a woman. Getting Zoya safely away is the first order of business, then identifying the men buying the women is next. Between Anson’s amazing skills with computers and Zoya’s talents as an artist, this family works together like a well-oiled machine. Zoya and Stryder develop a connection, but her trust level falters with her fears.
“He believed in consensual. He believed in firmness followed by tenderness. And he believed in pleasing even more than in giving pain.”
“Every living thing needed comfort at times.”
In spite of the intensity and seriousness of the subject matter, there are so many times that something said, or a scene back at the ranch had me laughing out loud. The story has a great cast of characters, many from the first story, and I am sure they will also be carried into the next one.
Anson
I PLAN TO MAKE YOU MY TEXAS PRINCESS
Strong, dominant men, who care about human injustice, wanting to rid the world of corruptions, and when it involves a damsel in distress, they will do whatever it takes to make that happen, no matter what part of the world it takes them to. If in the process, they fall in love, that makes it all the sweeter.
What a conclusion to this amazing series and for Anson to find the woman who has been haunting his dreams for the past six months. He made a promise to Zoya and himself that he would not stop until the last of the victims of the sex slave auction was found and rescued.
There is so much more to Natalia Alvarez that sex slave or victim. She is a smart and cunning woman, is skilled, and she has an ulterior motive behind wanting to be purchased by Juan Montez at the auction in Russia. Wanting revenge and being able to carry it out are two different things. Now that she is his property will she ever get out alive?
Anson Steele is an adopted son of Drake Steele, but he didn’t come from an unhappy situation as Stryder. Instead, he had two world famous parents who both died doing what they loved and were heroes in the process. He has been raised alongside Maddox and Stryder, and this is a family that has a military background, are off the grid and have backing to help them in their worldly endeavors.
The plot will have many intense moments, life and death situations in the jungle and the city. How will Anson convince Natalia he is on a mission to rescue her from Montez when she realized he was also at the slave auction and even bid on her? The mission to rescue Natalia from Montez will take place in Argentina, and will deal with the corruption of drug cartels. It will also have flashbacks of the horrors Natalia witnessed as a child that claimed most of her relatives, and her grandmother’s dying words to her.
“No more death. No more war. Peace, my Natalia. Find our family peace.”
Before more lives are lost in the war against various cartels, will Anson be able to save Natalia and get her safely back to Texas and Zoya? Anson has been obsessed with Natalia from the first time he saw her picture before the auction, can she be the one special person for him?
“You’re carrying my heart.”

The men who are brothers have a few things in common - dominant and protective with the need to help and care for victims of violence and of crime. The men make sure to fly under the radar of the authorities and they operate in the most dangerous of places to help. The 3 women that we meet for each of the men come from different backgrounds and countries; women who have ended up being dealt a pretty rough hand by life but have the most extraordinary strong will to survive... These stories will move you, temp you, have your heart racing...will even stean your kindle up. This is one awesome read and i hope the author duo of Hensley and Ryan writes more.

Kings and Sinners is a trilogy of three brothers that are fiercely protective and willing to go through all of the extra steps to save those they love! These books have amazing detail, so much real emotion, and lots of steamy passion! Each book is fully contained, but there is an overarching plot line that encompasses all of the books. As soon as one happiness is found, you’ll want to immediate start in on the next book to find out what will happen next and eventually how it all will end! Get read to bring tissues as your heart breaks and mends back together again with each of these amazing stories!
Maddox - Maddox and his father are sent to Dubai in what looks like a horse buying expedition, but their true mission is to settle a debt and save as many members of the Nazar family as possible. Adira’s life is completely changed in one night, and the only rock she can find in her misery is Maddox. Adira wants Maddox while he fights his attraction, but his mission isn’t fully done and the danger is still present. Is it possible for this couple to have a future? Oh my, I definitely cried while reading this story, but I loved it! I was amazed at some of the details, I loved their passion and connection, and I was just completely drawn into the storyline. I can’t even imagine the pains Adira had to go through, but I loved that Maddox was her support, and Jennie was probably my favorite supporting character! This was a great introduction into this family and I really fell in love with Adira and Maddox’s characters!
Stryder - Zoya is living in hell, about to be sold to the highest bidder and forced to be a sex slave. Her new master begins by whipping her, but instead of pain, she feels hope that he will save her. Stryder is on a mission to save Zoya, to crush the men who forced her into this hell, and to save the rest of the women continuing to live in it. Even though Zoya is safe and aiding in the rescues, she feels a crushing amount of guilt. Will her guilt and the monster threatening the Steele’s, can Stryker help Zoya and keep his promises? Stryker and Zoya were an amazing team, full of passion and caring and intense desires. Once again, this book rocked my heart by the horrors that Zoya had to live through, but luckily Stryker was there to save her, center her, balance her, and protect her. I loved her fire and I loved his calm, even though he was often described as cold or acting before he though, he was exactly what Zoya needed. The plot line in this story had me turning pages and I absolutely loved the ending!!
Anson - Anson has thought of little else for the past six months except to save Natalia. Now he’s in South America and it’s his chance to save her, except Natalia doesn’t want to be saved! Natalia is out for revenge, but when that gets destroyed due to a brewing drug war, Natalia and Anson run for their lives. Can Anson convince Natalia to return to Texas with him, or will her need for revenge put everyone in danger? Oh my goodness, this story was sexy and sweet and strong and swept me up on their wild adventure. Anson was this amazing character that was dominant, but also extremely caring and aware of what Natalia needed. I loved that she was such a kick butt character, saving Anson even, but had her really vulnerable moments, too! They made a really great team together and I loved how Anson was just so proud of Natalia! The plot line was fun, the ending was just absolutely fabulous, and I really loved this whole trilogy!
Maddox - Maddox and his father are sent to Dubai in what looks like a horse buying expedition, but their true mission is to settle a debt and save as many members of the Nazar family as possible.

So I was kind of confused when I started reading this story. I felt like I was missing something. But it did not take long for me to get into it and find out that I was not missing anything and that everything would come together.
Maddox-
We get Maddox first who is the oldest son. Their family is known in the underworld as saving people (mostly women) and bringing them back to their horse ranch. When the Steele family goes overseas to pay off an old family debt they find themselves in a big problem.
Maddox is now in charge of getting the only survivor- Adira home to the Black Stallion Ranch and finds out who is trying to kill her.
Adira gives Maddox a run for his money in and out of bed. These two were awesome to read about and I really enjoyed their story.
Stryder-
We are on to our second story. I enjoyed Stryder in the first book. But it took a bit to get into his story. It was probably halfway or a little more until I really got into it.
Stryder has had a hard upbringing and was adopted into the Steele family. When he has the chance to save Zoya from human trafficking he jumps at the chance. Not only will it help him try to catch the bad guy they are going after but Zoya calls to him.
Anson-
I liked Anson through all the books. He is the youngest and also adopted. When he and Stryder went and saved Zoya they were unable to save others, but one really called to Anson and her name is Natalia. But unknowing to Anson Natalia is exactly where she wants to be. She has a vendetta and she will what she has to and nobody will stop her.
Now that Anson knows who she is and what she is doing, he will do anything to help her. I really enjoyed this story.
All together they make a great story and the family works well together. They find and protect women which you have to love. This is a must read story!

Three great stories that will warm your ❤heart
“Love causes the deepest pain and sorrow but also gives us joy and contentment too wondrous for words.”
The Black Stallion Ranch is home to the Steele family. Ranchers, protectors and covert operatives.
Maddox and Adari - A Warrior and a Princess - Tragedy, and Loss collide in this first story
Stryker (this is my fave of the three) and Zoya - To bring down the enemy he must become that which he loathes - Will his "save" forgive him or will she be forever scarred?
The final story is a lot of fun - Anson, and Natalia - We knew from Stryker's story Natalia was next on our list of "saves" How do two dominants work together? Can they? What if she doesn't want to be saved? Wait, that can't be right or can it?

Book/Part 1 Maddox:
Former military, now cowboy/mercenary Maddox saves Adari to settle an old family debt.
Adari, an educated and independent Arab woman, is an innocent woman caught in the middle of her families dirty dealings.
When these two come together we experience a man needing to break his wild, independent arabian woman while she struggles to fight her submissive side and keep her passionate storm brewing
Book 2: Stryder
We knew from the end of book 1 that we were headed to save Zoya. What we didn't realize how close to home this was gonna hit for Stryder. Zoya may have started out naïve but she doesn't stay that way long nor does she stay as fiesty. I do love that she keeps he sass throughout and learns her needs to release her guilt and settle her anxiety
Book 3: Anson
Although still Alpha, he likes his Natalia sassy. Unlike the other women from this book, Anson got a woman who isn't afraid of the consequences and pushes her man to his limits.
These 2 are gonna have some exciting missions in the future.

1) Maddox
Maddox Steele is in the United Arab Emirates as a rancher looking for thoroughbreds for his families ranch, Black Stallion Ranch, with his father, Drake. Yet they are also there as a favor to Hadi Nazar who believes that his family is in great danger and he is proven right.
Adira Nazar is the granddaughter of Hadi and her life explodes in front of her eyes and she loses everyone she loves. Yet now she must put her trust in two Americans whom she has never seen before. Is she safe with them?
Can Maddox and his family keep Adira safe from those that wish her harm and will they find out who is behind everything in time?
This was a great introduction to Black Stallion Ranch and all of the characters!
I thought Maddox was a great character and part way through the book you meet a different side of him when Adira doesn't listen to him! I really liked what his family stood for and how they protected the innocent people from some pretty evil people.
I felt for Adira with everything she lost and how she was suddenly brought to a new place with not a lot of say in what was happening. I can't imagine everything she was going through. I liked that she was tough and was raised to be prepared for the worst just in case.
I loved Jenni and how hippie she was. I loved the close relationship she formed with Adira.
I also really liked the foreshadowing that was done so you knew what the next book would be focusing on with the link to the Russian Sex Trade/Slave industry.
The end was a little intense but I loved how it all turned out and I am looking forward to the next book!
2) Stryder
Stryder Steele and his brother Anson have gone to Russia to investigate Vasily Poplov and the Russian Sex Slave Trade. He and Anson are able to get an invite secretly and hope they can save as many of the women as they can.
Zoya Morozova moved to Moscow to try and make something of herself while her family remained back home. Upon arriving she meets Katrina Petrova who befriends her and promises to show her around but soon she finds herself up for auction.
When Stryder wins Zoya, will he be able to convince her that he is one of the good guys and will he be able to keep her safe?
This is another great book in the series and I am loving these brothers and don't want it to end!
Almost right from the beginning Stryder and Zoya enter into a special relationship and I found it kind of weird given that she was just auctioned off as a slave.
Stryder was pure alpha and definitely liked having control over things but Zoya definitely challenged him as well.
At times I almost felt bad for Zoya with her stubbornness and her inability to look at things from a different angle after Stryder tried to talk about Sophia.
The stuff that happened in Dubai was expected in a way but I was still shocked at what Hadi was able to pull off and it was awesome!
The end was awesome and I look forward to seeing what is next for Anson!
3) Anson
Anson Steele will go to any lenghts to find Natalia, a woman he first saw at Vasily Poplov's sex slave auction in Russia. He can not get the woman out of his head and he will stop at nothing to make sure she is safe, even if he means heading to the jungle in Argentina.
Natalia Alvarez was bought by drug lord Juan Montez and is now his property. She hates when he has his hands on her but she knows it is only for a limited time.
When Anson tries to rescue Natalia she refuses to go, as she has no idea what he will do to her but soon she finds herself in more danger with Juan. When Anson is able to rescue Natalia will they be able to leave Argentine safely or will Juan come after them for his own revenge?
This is the last book in the series and I must say I am super disappointed as I want more!
I really liked Anson and I can only imagine how shocked he was when Natalia did not leave with him when he tried to rescue her! I was glad she finally came to her senses but it was not without some difficulties for sure!
I was completely shocked at Natalia's back story and I loved it! She was super tough and I completely understood why she needed her revenge!
I liked how this book was a little more unique with how Natalia and Anson had to escape from Argentina and how it brought them closer together. I also thought it was awesome how Anson had to figure out who would be coming for him and where to meet.
I was sad about Anson's parents and how they died but I must admit that I loved the uniqueness of the situation.
The end was great and it ended well but I still hope for more books!!
Maddox Steele is in the United Arab Emirates as a rancher looking for thoroughbreds for his families ranch, Black Stallion Ranch, with his father, Drake. Yet they are also there as a favor to Hadi Nazar who believes that his family is in great danger and he is proven right.
Adira Nazar is the granddaughter of Hadi and her life explodes in front of her eyes and she loses everyone she loves. Yet now she must put her trust in two Americans whom she has never seen before. Is she safe with them?
Can Maddox and his family keep Adira safe from those that wish her harm and will they find out who is behind everything in time?
This was a great introduction to Black Stallion Ranch and all of the characters!
I thought Maddox was a great character and part way through the book you meet a different side of him when Adira doesn't listen to him! I really liked what his family stood for and how they protected the innocent people from some pretty evil people.
I felt for Adira with everything she lost and how she was suddenly brought to a new place with not a lot of say in what was happening. I can't imagine everything she was going through. I liked that she was tough and was raised to be prepared for the worst just in case.
I loved Jenni and how hippie she was. I loved the close relationship she formed with Adira.
I also really liked the foreshadowing that was done so you knew what the next book would be focusing on with the link to the Russian Sex Trade/Slave industry.
The end was a little intense but I loved how it all turned out and I am looking forward to the next book!
2) Stryder
Stryder Steele and his brother Anson have gone to Russia to investigate Vasily Poplov and the Russian Sex Slave Trade. He and Anson are able to get an invite secretly and hope they can save as many of the women as they can.
Zoya Morozova moved to Moscow to try and make something of herself while her family remained back home. Upon arriving she meets Katrina Petrova who befriends her and promises to show her around but soon she finds herself up for auction.
When Stryder wins Zoya, will he be able to convince her that he is one of the good guys and will he be able to keep her safe?
This is another great book in the series and I am loving these brothers and don't want it to end!
Almost right from the beginning Stryder and Zoya enter into a special relationship and I found it kind of weird given that she was just auctioned off as a slave.
Stryder was pure alpha and definitely liked having control over things but Zoya definitely challenged him as well.
At times I almost felt bad for Zoya with her stubbornness and her inability to look at things from a different angle after Stryder tried to talk about Sophia.
The stuff that happened in Dubai was expected in a way but I was still shocked at what Hadi was able to pull off and it was awesome!
The end was awesome and I look forward to seeing what is next for Anson!
3) Anson
Anson Steele will go to any lenghts to find Natalia, a woman he first saw at Vasily Poplov's sex slave auction in Russia. He can not get the woman out of his head and he will stop at nothing to make sure she is safe, even if he means heading to the jungle in Argentina.

Maggie Ryan and Alta Hensley have co-written 3 great books that they've decided to put together in one box set, which makes it easier for us to get ahold of the books and read them.
The boys of Black Stallion Ranch may be cowboys deep in the heart of Texas, but that's not all they do. Drake Steele and his sons, Maddox, Stryder, and Anson run an unofficial witness proteciton program. There are always people who need to disappear who the government can't or won't help, and that's when the Steele boys come in. They are going to do what they can to help those people, keep the innocents safe, and get rid of the bad guys. Whehther that means they are going to need to go to Dubai, Russia, or Argentina or it means that they will go deep into their own Batcave in order to search through computers, they are going to keep their promises and keep people safe.
The first book is Maddox. He and his father go to Dubai for a horse auction, but also to meet up with an old family friend whose family is at risk and he wants them to get his family out so that they can be safe. Sadly, the only member of his family that they are able to rescue is his granddaughter, Adira. She was thrown clear of the explosion on the yacht that killed the rest of her family. Maddox becomes her rock in a difficult time, and eventually her lover.
Stryder goes to Russia with his brother Anson so that they can track down the man who was in charge of Adira's family's destruction. He's a human trafficker and they are going to go to an auction he is holding. While they are there, there is a woman who catches Stryder's eye, Zoya. The boys manage to win her, and they take her home to Texas, where she manages to settle into life as part of the Steele family and helps to find more missing women who were sold.
Anson is in Argentina tracking down Natalia, who is Zoya's friend. She is also the woman who caught Anson's eye at the auction, and he's been wanting to find her ever since. What none of them know is that Natalia has her own agenda and she's not willing to give it up until she's finished her mission.
The women, including Jennie, are all very strong in these books. I really like them, especially Natalia. She goes through so much and she stays as strong as possible throughout everything she went through, even though she is brutalized. But all the women have had terrible things happen, so I'm not going to judge one as worse than the other. The guys all have terrible things in their past too, which makes it easier for them to understand what the women have gone through, so I think that's helpful.
Each of these stories is great on its own, but being able to read them all in one place is just so great.

This is a set of the Black Stallion Ranch books. One book for each brother. I had previously read books 2 & 3. I wonder if a book will be written for Drake and Jennie?
Maddox
The first book in the series gives you the background in how the Black Stallion Ranch came to be. It introduces the Steele brothers, their father Drake, and Jennie. It is also about Maddox's mission and how he meets Adira.
The book has aspects of mystery, suspense, murder, and intrigue. You also get a healthy dose of romance, steamy scenes, domestic discipline, and a little BDSM. If any of these aspects are offensive to you, my suggestion would be to pass. Not only on this book, but the other two as well.
Stryder
This is the first Steele brothers book I have read. I could tell some things had occurred with Stryder's brother Maddox, prior to this book, but I felt like there was enough explanation that it wasn't necessary to read Book 1 first.
I was pleasantly surprised to find so much action and suspense in this romance book. This book was so well written, that I found the sex trafficking scenes made me cringe.
After that, I had a hard time putting this book down. I liked all of the characters. Keep in mind that I men in the Steele family practice Domestic Discipline along with BDSM. If those things are not your cup of tea, I would pass on this book.
I will be going back to read Maddox's book, and I am looking forward to Anson's book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy.
Anson
A romantic suspense based mostly on the jungles of Argentina. Anson finally had the opportunity to rescue Natalia, but finds it more difficult than originally planned
Their relationship grows as they work their way through the jungle trying to reach safety and the Black Stallion ranch.
I liked that Natalia was a fighter, and trained in survival. Anson respected her and her skill set enough to let her do what she needed to do.
The theme of the book is family not bonded by blood, but by love, support, and loyalty.

Stryder -
Zoya has just moved to Moscow on her own. Soon after arriving she meets Katarina. She makes Zoya feel welcome and quickly become her friend and takes time to show her around. Only Zoya quickly learns she doesn't end up being a friend at all.
The Steeler's learn of a sex slave auction going on and make it their mission to rescue them. Stryder and his brother get an invitation and ready to place their bids. Now to make sure their save knows she is safe.

Who knows the hell she has had to pay but he will make sure she is safe and Montez suffers. Only once he tries to rescue her she quickly let's him know she is there on a mission of her own and doesn't need his help.
I have loved all the Steele brothers and hope one day we get Jennie's story.

What a family!
The Black Stallion Ranch does not only house beautiful horses, but also a blended family. Drake, the patriarch, his three sons, Maddox, Stryder and Anson, and Jennie, the Hippie-Wise Woman taking care of all of them.
But, buried deep beneath this bucolic paradise is the real mission of those men. They made it their calling to help and house innocent victims of crime and violence. With the help of a world wide net of allies and helpers they operate beneath the radar of official authorities and in countries were the law is just a piece of paper.
And that is were they find their partners. Being dominant protective men, they normally shy away from getting too close to their charges. But there is always the one exception.
Three completely different women, with completely different backgrounds, from three different countries, with one common trait. The strong will to survive in circumstances that would break them were it not for their core of steel.
And to the Steele men they are able to surrender.
This collaboration between two first rate authors in their own right, has produced a series of books that kept me glued to my reading chair until the very end. Suspenseful, hot, sweet, kinky, it's all here!
Enjoy!

Before I review, please let me say I have grown to love Alta Hensely and Maggie Ryan and individual authors and their collaboration has not disappointed. Kings & Sinners are three books in one compilation dealing with three brothers driven by good to assist the downtrodden. The firs book is about Maddox and Adira who he saves after her family is killed. He takes her away to the family farm and tries his best to protect her but also falls in love. The second book is about Stryder who meets Zoya when she is being sold into sexual slavery. She is an innocent who he swears to save. The third book is about Anson who at the same auction sees and vows to rescue Natalia (also being sold into slavery). Out of the three ladies I loved Natalia the most. She wasn't innocent like Zoya. She had a motive and was determined to achieve it. She was strong! The three books leads very nicely into each other but can be read as stand alones. They are fast paced and full of action with loads of mystery and suspense that keeps you turning the pages. And please, lets not forget the explicit scenes...Amazing read!

An Amazing Must Read Trilogy
A really well written series by two of my favourite authors. Each book in the series, around the black stallion ranch and the 3 brothers Maddox, Stryder and Anson, had gripping storylines set in amazing countries. The characters were all likeable and of course lots of descriptive steamy spanking scenes.
Maddox and Adira’s story was set in Dubai and Texas, I adored this read, in fact I loved the whole of the Steele family full stop.
Stryder and Zaya Morozova’s story was superb and my favourite in the series. Zoya a Russian farm girl kidnapped by the Russian mafia I found this intriguing and fast paced.
In Anson and Natalia’ story the third book of this magnificent series, set in Argentina around a drug cartel run by the drug lord Juan Montez, this read definitely had the element of danger and intrigue.
I loved the family love between the Steele family so I can only but highly recommend this superb read. They can all be read as standalone but much better in this beautiful bundle.

I thoroughly enjoyed all three books in this series and they are all included in this collection. Each book focuses on a different brother and the woman he falls in love with during the course of daring rescue missions which are also interconnected. The brothers, Maddox, Stryder, and Anson, along with their father Drake, operate a horse ranch, while secretly helping people who are in trouble but fall through the cracks legally. Maddox, Stryder, and Anson, like their father, are fearless protectors, determined to see justice done. Adira, Zoya, and Natalia are the strong and courageous women the brothers love, heart, body, and soul. The writing is excellent, the plots are well executed page turners. There's plenty of action, drama, and danger as well as some really hot and steamy romance scenes. I found myself very caught up in each story and I'm kind of sad to say goodbye to these characters. This book is a great read.

I received this book for an honest review.

I read all three books when they were released but will more than likely reread all three stories about the Steele 'brothers' Maddox, Stryder and Anson. This is the Black Stallion Ranch series and the three men are not actually biologically related but their bond is just as close. Together from their high tech HQ at their horse ranch they run an organisation which rights wrongs and all over the world going after bad guys and taking on tasks that official organisations cannot tackle. They get things done and rescue the helpless. These are their individual stories as to how they find and rescue the women they love. These books are great and if you've not had the pleasure of reading them I highly recommend them Ms Ryan and Ms Hensley are masters of their craft and this is the two of them at their best. Hot sexy heroes, three of them, spanking, raunchy scenes, mystery, wicked villains and gorgeous sassy and spunky heroines, what more can you want. Excellent entertainment.

“Yes, because of the wrongdoings in the dark and murky world of the bad, the powerful, and the ruthless, Adira now needed protection from it all. For too long, she’d silently marched along the subversive and corrupt domain of greed. And now, because of it, the penance was the assassination of all she loved.”
This is one hell of a box set. New to these authors I was so glad I had all three stories together as each one left you needing the next. The family in this story are pure alphas, righting the wrongs of the underworld and trying to save the innocents left to suffer. Each story is interconnected and follows the family as they face their greatness adversity and follow the brothers as they each find their soul mates. The stories are fast paced and intriguing with danger, suspense and of course love. They characters are wickedly steamy and recklessly in love which just makes this series red hot!
A five star how do I get me one of these men to call my own read.

Kings and Sinners Oh my! These three books take us around the world and back again to Texas. We travel with the hot alpha Steel brothers Maddox, Stryder and Anson as they save the innocent and punish the guilty. I love how these three tough brothers each fall for the woman they are destined to be with. These stories have everything needed to be a 5-star read, great writing, strong beautiful women, hot sexy men and three amazing stories full of murder, revenge, suspense, passion, love, spankings and my favorite character in the book Jennie. I will never look at meatloaf the same after what Jennie did to Stryder and Anson. I am hoping we get to read more about Jennie and how she came to Black Stallion Ranch.

This collection was an absolute enjoyment to read. This book by Alta Hensley and Maggie Ryan has three beautifully crafted stories all involving rather vigilante type justice as the characters are put through their paces of being in danger, rescuing the love of their life, all while waiting for the final shoe to fall, which could lead to their death. It was also the most erotic and sensual book as the characters laid claim to their chosen mates, the old fashioned and rough way. These three men also had a firm belief in the domestic discipline lifestyle, and even touching on BDSM aspects as well, as they educated and encouraged their mates, sometimes with spanking, but always, always with love. This is a somewhat late voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Blushing Books.

I love Alta Hensley's books and this was a triple bonus! She took 3 of her books and put it in 1 book.Nothing like sitting down and reading them without being interupted by changing books to continue the saga. Kings and Sinners are 3 seperate books about 3 brothers who are all alpha males. They all love fully and protect their woman with all they have, they are also not afraid to let their woman know they are the head of the house and will take all measures to assure their safety. These stories have so much going on that it keeps you interested then suddenly the book is done and you can not wait to start the next one. I cannot it for her next book!!!!

This was a great new series for me and WOW! From needing a box of tissues for crying and laughing it’s both of both worlds. Three brothers and a father, and of course a hippy as hell housekeeper Jennie keep you on your toes. With their underground missions in which they will attempt to bring down a huge sex trafficking ring. Maddox, Stryker and of course the baby brother Anson along with Papa Drake. Will join alliances to help bring down this ring while along the way finding love when you least expect it. So grab your copy and enjoy and wait for more.

If you love books by Alta and Maggie then your definitely going to really love these three stories.This triology, i found was quite different than what i expected, it took me abit to get into the swing of the books but once there it was great.This is a family affair, but the stories are of Maddox, Stryder and Anson they each find their mates in different countries. These books are full of lovely spankings, adventure and they are very fast paced. I have to admit out of all the men i loved Maddox and Adira.

A great 3 part story of a family of men with hearts as big as Texas. Three brothers and father that come together to help people that the law can't. They find, help, and fall head over heels in love with the women that they are able to save. The road they travel has curves that you never know are coming. The suspense keeps you in the story, and then throw in an old hippie lady with sass and you are lost in the world of Maddox, Stryder, and Anson. These three brothers capture your heart right along with the women they love.

Kings and Sinners was one wild ride!
I was drawn in from the start! I couldn’t put it down!
Stryker, Maddox and Anson are dominate and protective brothers who rescue and take care of victims the government won’t help.
Three women come from different backgrounds find themselves in a bad place when the men rescue them.
These stories are full of action, suspense, hot spankings and plenty of steamy sexyness!
I highly recommend Kong’s and Sinners to everyone!

Oh what a feast for the senses!
What’s better than 1 hot fun times romance, is 3x the holy hotness!
This is a box set of the Block Stallion Series featuring the brothers Maddox, Stryder, and Anson’s story. Each brother got their own book.
I had not read any of these books and I frankly have begun to trust these authors writing so I went in blindly! Best way to enjoy this read!
Fast paced, intense, full of holy hotness alpha males, mystery and intrigue. Added BDSM elements, and I was fully engrossed in a fairlytale for adults.

The Steele brothers Maddox, Stryker, Anson these are strong sexy Alpha Men like no others, they have their own way of doing justice and they are not forgiving in their fierce fight of making things right especially with the woman who capture their attention and hearts. This dark story tells each brothers story and as they work together as a very tight family along with their dad and I really enjoyed each one of these men, in fact I couldn't put it down as the Steele Brothers demand your full attention and you will give it to them willingly.
