Meet Sabre, newly patched member of the Ankeny, IA chapter. He went by Roscoe, but that's definitely not his actual name. The secrets he's hiding are going to blow you away!
Sabre:
People think they know what punishment is, but they have no idea. I’d lived enough lifetimes of misery that I’m an expert.

Soleil was my soulmate, but I was a Watcher and it was prohibited for us to be together.

After we were caught, she was ripped away, leaving me begging for death. Dropped into the middle of the Civil War, I thought my wish had been granted. Little did I know, my punishment was my anguish on Earth and it would never end.

For years, I was a lost soul, wandering—until I found the Ankeny RBMC. With them, something within my empty chest settled and I dared put down roots.

When she showed up on our doorstep, I was stunned. Except she had no memory of me or that it was my fault her brother died.

Now, a sinister evil is toying with us, threatening to separate us… permanently.

It’s not happening on my watch. I failed once before, and we lost heaven to have each other. But nothing in hell would keep us apart.

They call me Sabre, but this is my real story.

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trope: heroine in peril, second chance
Angst: 😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥

Kristine Allen comes through again with a fantastic supernatural MC ride that is non-stop action and romance! Add in some amnesia, the gods, and an angry demon and you have the most epic second chance story you're going to read. Nothing is going to keep Sabre from Soleil this time around. Loved the storyline with all the lore, loved the smexy times, and LOVE those Ankeny Bastards ❤️. Sabre is the 6th book in the Royal Bastards MC: Ankeny IA chapter by Kristine Allen. It is told in first person, from dual perspective and is a complete standalone - although best enjoyed when read in series order. Can't wait to see what's next!

I love love this series and author. This MC series is addicting and the length the hero would to protect the heroine is what wins me over. I have a soft spot for protective alphas lol. Sabra is one of my favorite heros in the MC series.

If you like stories about the Gods like Zeus and Aphrodite then you will love this book. I don't care about mythology but I still loved it.

This is Sabre's and Soleil's book. He was basically a guardian angel for her brother way back in time but he did the one thing he was told to never do... he fell in love with a mortal. He was punished. How he was punished you'll have to find out yourself.

When this club rescued a group of women who was to be trafficked the police department helped handle it but this one woman who has amnesia and doesn't know who she is comes to stay at the club and it throws both of their life in a tailspin.

A demon is out there doing God knows what and the club has to handle it. We learn so much more about the members of this club and their extra special talents.

Well, this is one heckuva journey! Sabre's journey is filled with all kinds of darkness and it would appear Soleil's is too. His gift is unlike anything the guys of Ankeny have ever seen. Needless to say this author brings it with everything she's got with this one. It's full intrigue, excitement, chaos, danger, plenty of twists and turns and boy is it ever intense! In true Kristine Allen fashion, she's taken us one more big a*^ wild ride!!!!!

….. now we have gods! Can you get any better then gods? Who knows, but I am sure this amazing author will do it, if possible.

Aros and Soleil waited an eternity (almost literally) to be reunited. This just shows the power of eternal love. Brilliant series ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is one of my all time favorite MC series because it mixes in paranormal elements. This book is pretty heavy with the other worldly aspects, Sabre has more than just some talents. It’s a fascinating backstory for both Sabre and Soleil. A lot of the book is heart breaking, but it’s worth all of the angst in the end. This author always provides tons of steam, action, humor, and drama. I love that we get to see our prior favorites and we start to learn even more about other brothers in the club for future books. The epilogue was sweet and perfect. I cannot wait for more books in this chapter.

SABRE is the seventh instalment in Kristine Allen’s adult ROYAL B&STARDS MC: ANKENY IA erotic, paranormal, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. This is Sabre aka Aros Roscoe Denali, and Soleil Rose Castile’s story line. SABRE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sabre and Soleil) SABRE follows the rekindling relationship between Sabre aka Aros Roscoe Denali, and Soleil Rose Castile. Approximately seven to eight hundred years earlier a guardian angel was sent to watch over his charge but said angel fell in love, leaving the man was supposed to watch, die. Punished by the gods for his misbehavior, Aros is sentenced to walk the Earth for all eternity, never finding love or happiness again. Fast forward to present day wherein Aros now known as Roscoe finds himself a member of the RBMC, a MC made up mostly of magical members. When the local police are unable to locate the family of a young woman rescued from human traffickers, Sabre suddenly realizes he has been given a second chance with the woman he loves. Enter Soleil Rose Castile, a woman who is unable to remember what happened or why. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Sabre and Soleil, and the potential fall-out as the past returns, determined to destroy our story line couple.

The relationship between Soleil and Sabre is one of second chances but Soleil has no memory of the past, and therefore, no memory of the man she once loved. A Cacodaemon has set his sights on Sabre and Soleil but Sabre refuses to let go of the woman he loves. The $ex scene are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including most of the previous story lines couples, as well as the revelation of angels and demons, vampires, witches and fae. We are introduced to Soleil’s brother Hayden. The requisite evil has many faces.

SABRE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and determination, penance and forgiveness, love and acceptance. The fast paced premise is enchanting and engaging ; the romance is seductive and intense; the characters are broken, charismatic and determined.

Sabre is book 7 in the Royal Bastards MC: Ankeny Iowa by Kristine Allen
(H) Roscoe / Aros / Sabre
(h) Jane Doe / Soleil

Just when you think she can't top the last book she lays this baby at your feet like an offering to the gods.

I will be honest, I didn't know much about Sabre going into this which, really is how I like to go into a book. I love seeing characters develop and unfold within their journeys.

Sabre holds so such pain inside him, wandering aimlessly for so long. Until he jumps headfirst in the path of Venom and the RBMC. Here he finds something he never thought would be his, not in this life or the next, peace, family, somewhere to lay roots.

After prospecting and getting his patch, he is starting to feel settled into his life, that is until he finds himself staring into the face of his one true love.

She doesn’t know anything about who she is or where she come from. They call her Jane Doe, but Sabre knows who she is, now the secrets he has held so close for so long will need to come out because of her, Soleil, his Soleil… but how does he tell her about their past without her running and how does he tell her that she’s the love of his life?

Sabre & Soleil are the truest form of soul mates, stemming from a forbidden love. Sabre doesn’t know how she’s here, but he knows he’s not letting her go again.

I love the paranormal world that has unfolded within this series, but I did not see this book coming and I am so excited to see what comes next.

If you are new to Kristine Allen’s world this is amazing book to start your journey, take the leap with confidence and you will never look back.

dislike the alternating thoughts of the hero

Consistency is needed in the thoughts and sayings of the male lead. For me, he either worships his wife or he doesn’t. If he does, then there’s no need to know his thoughts about how good one of his sexual partners was in bed because such thoughts should have left his brain the moment his wife reappeared.

And if he “never would’ve thrown his past women” at Soileil, perhaps he should have explained to Soleil that at least two of his most recent sex buddies were surrounding her on the daily in the clubhouse,
! Sabre struck me as being a coward trying to avoid that conversation, knowing it was likely to come out and slap her in the face.

Fraid the double standards between what is acceptable for male versus female leads just doesn’t gel for me, especially in the 21st century.

I also feel he became too used to women who easily opened their legs rather than his wife. If I
I was Soleil, and after such a long gap in time, I’d certainly respond more to my husband wanting to ‘make love’ to me rather than ‘fuck me hard’ which sounds too much how he approached sex with one of his whores.

These discontinuities meant these characters simply did not ring true for me: the words used to describe them became meaningless for me, page fillers rather than consistent writing about their feelings and actions towards each other. And that made the story very disappointing for me.

Sabre and Soleil are a true testament to "Soul Mates." They have a story unlike any other, even for the a group of guys that all have a gift. There is this deep, deep rooted love between them. They are literally the other half of each other's soul.
Sabre though, he makes mistakes. Those mistakes cost him everything - including Soleil. Living with the consequences is his own personal Hell. Yet, he finds a way to survive. He's angry and miserable but the day he finds his club, he finds a new purpose. He grows - he gains a family.
Everything changes the day she's brought back into his life. We get to see him skirt around his feelings because how can you tell someone the truth about yourself when it's as big as Sabre's?
Even with the time apart, they both feel the connection that could never truly be severed. We watch them learn to love again. To feel what it means to be with your soulmate.
Time doesn't change anything.
Sabre always has, and always will, love Soleil. It's an amazing story that gives us another side of this PNR world that Kristine has created. A side that is nothing like the others - showing us that there's more out there than we think. It's an amazing addition to this RBMC chapter and I am so excited to see what happens next.

Freaking Fantastic!! I loved Sabre's story so much. I don't want to give anything away but I will say that I LOVED the story line. It was inventive and entertaining. You could really feel the love and devotion Sabre had for Soleil. I felt so bad for all that Sabre had gone though. I couldn't imagine having to endure that!
This was a little different plot then I used to but I absolutely loved it. I loved the Greek mythology mixed in and learning all the new terms. It also has one of my favorite tropes, amnesia. Poor Soleil had been though so much but couldn't remember who she is. She was still a kind and caring person though.
This series reminds me of Supernatural. Where you have average guys and a touch of the paranormal. It's not over the top but enough to make it exciting. You also have morally gray guys who are still the good guys who you can't help falling for. I love all the new paranormal ways Kristine Allen is coming up with for her characters. It keeps you guessing and adds a bit of surprise to each story. You also get to keep in touch with characters that you already know and love, like Voodoo, so that's another plus to this series.
I highly recommend Sabre. It's such a amazing story with an emotional edge.

Oh My!!! This was an awesome read. It combines the RBMC dangerous men, crazy women, and a mythological element. It was such a great read! I loved Sabre and Soleil. The story had me enthralled from the first page until the end of it.

Sabre has suffered for years and now he’s happy again, but will his happiness last or will his past destroy this happiness too?

Soleil has no idea who she is or what her life was like prior to being kidnapped and put on the block to be sold and shipped out. She’s lost, scared, and alone.

I love the RBMC books. The Ankeny, IA chapter has members that have powers beyond normal men, but they keep those close to the vest. They are determined to rid their town of the sex trade ring that is looming and destroying lives. I love this chapter. The characters are great, the stories always pull me in and hold me hostage until the end. There are multiple chapters of the RBMC, and not all members are the same, but they are all great characters, and the stories always leave me wanting more of the characters from that chapter. I can’t wait for more of the RBMC. I give this story a 5-star review.

I know it’s cliche to here a series just keeps getting better, but with Ms. Allen’s RBMC Ankeny, IA series does just that, hands down. The storyline, the characters, the suspense, the action it’s all there in each and every book and Sabrer’s story is no different. If you haven’t started the series, you are in for a real treat. Ms. Allen not only gives us a great MC series but it also has a twist to it. The brothers all have their “special abilities”.

Sabre has finally found a home with the RBMC. After losing his celestial status and the love of his life, Soleil, and wandering the earth for eons, he has finally set down roots. But imagine his shock when Soleil walks into the clubhouse after centuries of being apart. Too bad she has no clue who she is let alone the past they shared so long ago. Throw in an evil that knows no bounds who’s out to get Sabre, Ms. Allen has given us one heck of a ride…. So grab this one up and hang on.

Love for Infinity🖤

Where do I start? Kristine Allen's 7th RBMC Book. Still I was blown away by this one. It felt like she put everything I love in a book‼️🖤
This book begins 800 years ago (but my review won't be as long😉) An angel, Sabre aka Aros Roscoe Denali,
was sent down to watch over a charge. He was distracted by Soleil Rose Castile and fell in love. This is their story! A second chance tale with angels, daemons, Royal Bastards, and their paranormal gifts. You will LOVE THIS BOOK, good luck trying to put it down once you start🔥 The world build is phenomenal. The characters are portrayed vividly and that Bastards camaraderie as always is familial. This is such an original, exciting storyline. I highly recommend 1. Read the Blurb because I try not to give spoilers because it takes away from the story.
2. One-click asap, you will not regret it.
3. Enjoy this wonderful movie worthy tale.

This is a great paranormal MC book. The characters are strong willed and alpha males. They protect what they consider theirs and try to help out with the trafficking as much as they can.
Aros and the men of the RBMC all have certain touches with the out of this world crowd. They put it to good use and are a tight knit family. Their ol’ladies and children are very well protected and taken care of.
Aros (Roscoe) finds out that the woman he loved over seven hundred years ago was still alive, he can’t believe it. Then he finds out that she has been under the spell of a nasty daemon.
The club take care of the daemon, and she gets her memory back, and they then find out that the reason that Aros got kicked out of Olympus has been turned to a vampire and is still alive, her brother.
They fight for what they claim as theirs and hold on tight, and the love that they share with their women is out of this world.

This is the 7th book in this unique and incredible series, and this is Sabre and Soleil’s journey. These two are soulmates, until they are cruelly torn apart. and while he was drifting through life lost and angry, until he found the IA chapter of an MC, where he felt at peace, with a family of brothers who all have unique abilities. When a Jane Doe arrives with no memory of her past, Sabre knows instantly who she is. Will Soleil gain her memories back? This is a well written story which is fast paced and intense, with secrets, family, loyalty, truths, danger, suspense, intrigue, 2nd chances, vengeance, betrayal, twists, obsession, and love, which leads to a steamy and riveting page turner.
I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Kristine Allen comes through again with this fantastic supernatural MC ride. that Sabre is the 7th book in the Royal Bastards MC: Ankeny IA chapter by Kristine Allen. It part of a series arch but can be read as a complete standalone - but is best if the series is read. Sabre and Soleil stores is a true testament to "Soul Mates." They have this deep, deep rooted love and connection.
SABRE is angry and miserable but has his club to help him find his purpose. Even though Soleil doesn’t have memories of their past , they both feel their connection. Finding each other again after so much time apart is the epitome of soulmates. It's an amazing story that gives us the perfect mix of MC and PNR . I’m so excited to see what happens next.

This book was an amazing ride. It was something else all together wonderful though.
First..your cover model made the moving pictures in my head while I read hot AF. thank you for that!!!!!
Sabre and Soleil were soul mates, written in the stars, but fate had other plans. I dont want to give anything away, but thus book was right up my alley plot wise. I have had an obsession with the players of Sabres life since I was a teenager so it made this book that much better. And the ending, don't even get me started. Very highly recommended but read in order for full effect of the characters of the book. Its worth it, TRUST ME!!!! Voodoo it worth starting with. I might go reread him now.
Great book Ms Allen, as always.

I absolutely love this series from the Royal Bastards books. They are all so unique and very clever. This author is amazing. This book was no different, this was Sabre and Soleils story. I can't even begin to go into huge details here because there are just so many mysterious things with this chapter!Sabre lost his love and then miraculously she comes back into his life. Unfortunately, this reunion comes with something that wants to kill them both. I love how the chapter pulls together for them and I appreciate the extremes they go to to help the people they love. This is all about love loyalty and the Brotherhood! Another fantastic read!!

I found this intense. I really enjoyed the paranormal aspects of the story and the MC. The connections between Sabre/Aros and Soleil as well as the club kept me turning pages. Soleil trusted her instincts despite not remembering her past and followed the pull between her and Sabre. Sabre carried so much hurt, pain, and self-loathing, but the brotherhood of the MC showed him something better. The secondary characters added wit, love, and so much more to the story. If you enjoy MC stories with a big dollop of paranormal, this is the book for you.

I received an ARC of this story, and this is my unsolicited review.

Sabre was a fantastic read! It is a second chance romance that only Sabre knows about and he will do anything to hold on to Soreil this time around. He has spent so many lifetimes in agony over losing his soul mate, due to the punishment of the God's he will not lose her to a Demon out for revenge.
Once again we see how all the Brother's of the MC pull together for one another along with the Ol' Ladies. It shows us there is no bond stronger than Brotherhood.
This series just keeps getting better and better with each characters books. I never want the stories to end!

Sabre: Sabre & Soleil

Holy, this book took a turn I didn't expect but I flipping loved it! I never knew Sabre's past was this epic, Soleil and Sabre's love is very forbidden. But fate is bigger and better, it's like their souls recognize each other and took hold. All I felt when I was reading their story is that they were born for each other. They went through some trials but they made it, I'm overjoyed with them and author Kristine Allen put her all in this book. You need to read this book readers, it's beyond epic.

Astounding story, it blew my mind with the complexities and imagination, the characters. The dimensions and ideas and the twists and turns, combinations of gifts it took to find answers and solutions. The romance of finding something long lost and being willing to give up everything to keep the love. They had both suffered great pain and loss but they were true soul mates and I hope they have long lives to make up for all they missed. Scary moments, violent moments all mixed up in a complicated plot with characters out of this world.

Sabre and Soleil have one hell of a story to tell. I mean wowzers I never saw what was coming till bam right there in your face. Their book is addictive, keeping you engrossed from that first page. It was rather interesting to find out who and what Sabre is. I really liked how everything came to light, the surprises, the twists and turns, and how it all ended. The storyline was phenomenal. Absolutely loved it.

Sabre has lived a hundred lives, but with only one love that was taken from him. Now he finds a home in the RBMC, until a Jane Doe turns up and Sabre knows exactly who she is, Soleil, but she has no recognition and no memories of before can Sabre convince her of their shared past? Or will it send her running? Well written a great addition to the series but can be read as a standalone. Thebstory has you hooked from thebstart with depth and emotion and the characters make you feel it all!

Outstanding!! I had no idea what to expect from Sabre when I first started. And I can honestly say I loved this so much! It leaned more on the paranormal side than the MC side this time which was awesome. I’ve wanted to see more of that with these guys and Sabre delivered that. Soleil and Sabre are epic together and she makes such a great addition to the group. I cannot believe the twists in this story and I’m looking forward to so much more of them.

Loved it

Aros and Soleil had young love until it was ripped away from them because he broke the rules. Aros thought she was gone forever. Now years and years later Aros goes by Roscoe/Sabre and is a member of the Royal Bastards MC living his unfortunate life with her. Until one day she shows up and throws things into a tailspin. With danger after Sabre can he keep his love safe? Will there be a HEA?
