Robbed I tell you!!!! 🗣️How dare you tease us like this?!?!?!!! We didn’t get nearly enough of Menace and the Queen!! Ughhhhh the disrespect!!😒😒
Menace and Olori were both looking for some good no strings attached sex before they both had to resume business as usual with this impending war. Neither of them imagined that one night of pleasure would create the deepest soul ties! After parting ways the following morning, they had no clue that their paths would cross again!
Menace, Gunner and Savauge are also grieving and they are out for blood! When you hurt one of their own there’s hell to pay! When a meeting with the Queen is called they agree without hesitation because up until this point they assumed the Queen was a mythical creature! When they walk into this meeting, Menace received the shock of his life!
There was so much build up and then once again we are left wondering 🥴 does anyone know if the series continues in another book? I’m so lost 😩😩 On one hand I’d recommend this series and on the other I wouldn’t because soooooo much was left hanging in the balance! Read at your own risk!

He saw you standing in line outside of the club. He told them to let you and you girls in. Then he went on about his business. He left a mark. You were captivated. You sent him and his boys a bottle of Macallan. He came to the bar. Words were exchanged. No names. One night. That’s all it was suppose to be. And what a time y’all had. One night, one time. Except a meeting happened and things are revealed and well let’s just say, there’s more to learn.

Menace and Queenie together I just smell trouble and war in the near future. I love that these men have found their women but this war is about to be a dividing factor I can't wait to see who will stand tall in the end. Desperately waiting for more

This one was a tease. Menace unknowingly connected with the Queen. A war was brewing and it seemed like the story was just starting 😩

We had the pleasure of interviewing Aubree Pynn on our facebook group show 'Reigning Words Book Review Lounge'...
These were an entertaining quick read - Menace is book 4 of 4 books in Aubree Pynn's Lavendale approx. 200 pg series.
Menace is the 4th - last but not least of 4 brothers - the Knights - whose lives revolve around their roles in their club 'Flame', within their 'crew' & with their queens. Menace was my favorite -something about him stirred my soul. He was pretty intense to me! I also loved the intro of strong women and the chemistry that ignites between him and the leader of this female crew. Initial atraction leads to much more with twists and turns.
Though the stories are short we get a good glimpse into every aspect of their lives and personalities. Love scenes were raw and steamy. The storyline builds in each book with a bit of neighborhood background of their city thrown in which. The story leaves us wanting more and I can't wait until another story in this series drops later this year. The author is known for multiple books back to back so maybe we'll get more than one book to continue this series that leaves us with questions as to what's gonna happen next!
I love books that highlight different characters and the dynamics of each unique personality.
This series definitely makes you want to meet the whole city as I don't know about you but I love to know every intricate detail of the background of relationships, bonds etc.
So I definitely plan on reading her other 12 book series which involves the 'crew' that are not fans of guys on this side of town! Wtih that being said I'm heading to the HIlls soon to explore this 12 book series! (Ganton Hills to be exact;)

Can I please have Menace on a platter?
I feel like I am repeating myself but when I say that this author knows how to craft stories giving us the best book baes you best believe that what I am saying is true. As a war is building I tell myself that I need every one of those brothers to live but that won't work. The female lead in this book was everything. I absolutely loved her boss ways! The only issue I have with this book is that I wanted more! Great chemistry and great action! What more can one asked for except more pages. Keep 'em coming!

What happened?
I don't think I've said this in a while! What on earth happened to my new man? Yes, Menace is cool and all, but I'm sad as all get out about my missing friend. The Queen and Menace will need to handle this little dilemma. The stories are always short, but they help to get ready for the next story.

The Queen has entered the chat…
Listen there nothing more I can say about any of these books! Aubree slowly unravels layer after and layer and each layer is more surprising than the last! What will happen when everything is laid bare? Hell I don’t know, but I can’t wait to find out!!

A knight and his queen
These books are getting more intense with this series. It’s real thick and war is definitely brewing between the gangs. There are some serious puppeteers at work or maybe just one who is orchestrating it all. A hell of a chess player.
Hooked on these books and her pen game! Sheesh!

Ughh!!!
So reading the four novellas, wtf is going to happen. They all have their women, but Judah leaving is causing an uproar. I know they want to avenge Aces death, but hopefully Judah speaks up before they attack. Queenie has to know Judah is alive, she knows everything right?

Great Read
This was a quick and enjoyable read. This is the first series I have read by this author and I have not been disappointed. However, I think I need to read her previous series in order to better understand what is going on in Lavendale. Good job, Aubree!

Omg, A Must Read
I have to see what is going to happen next. This whole series has been great and cliff hangers. I keep thinking about the war and how that is going to go down. Keep em coming.

With every book the drama gets more intense. Queenie is just pulling all the strings and now taking Menace on the ride cause he is hooked. I can't wait to find out how this all plays out but she better leave my boys in the Hills alone!!

You have done it again AP! A Queen has now entered! Men have been ruling this war, thus far, and I cannot wait to see what she has up her sleeve! She seems to be the one holding all the cards! Queenie and Menace are going to be a force together! Good job! 👍👍👍

Good read
It’s a short read but I know it’s setting the scene for what’s to eventually come. This series has been like little tv episodes, just enough to keep you coming back for more. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Menace
Warning this is a short story and although I'm actually really enjoying the author weave of this series. I do wish that these four books were just one. In this short will follow one night that brings him to Queenie.

WOW!!!!!
A. P just doesn't miss!!!
This was a whole entire story in a few short pages and it has me itching to get the rest. I love how all these shorts are layered together.
I thought Savage was my favorite but I see Menace may have knocked it out the spot.
Great short!!!

Well done
I loved these hot & sexy shorts. I have to say I love Judah the most. To know & decide enough is enough and snatch yo woman with you to create a new life is incredibly sexy to me. I just hope they can stay living peacefully.

Loved these four shorts. I wish they were full length stories. The whole series was great. Good read. This is my first reads by this author. I'm going to check out her other non short stories.

The Queen has finally revealed herself. The wheels are in motion and things are quickly heating up. Danger is lurking everywhere. The streets of Ganton Hills and Lavendale are both about to explode. Knights, Monarchs, Prophets and more will soon be at war!!

The Queen has arrived
Judah done left and made the block hotter and of course the Queen is calling and waits for no one. Menace, has a guarded heart and Olori has a secret that is bound to be found. One night of fun creates an unbreakable bond but what will happen next?
