Rage is the fourth book in a series about monsters of all kinds. If you enjoy fated mates, forbidden romance, sassy heroines, and swoon-worthy beast kings who are almost untamable, then this is the series for you.
There are stories circling about a lone wolf in a town called Cherokee Hills. Talk of a creature who walks on two legs…a werewolf. I decide to go and investigate this for myself. A road trip sounds like fun. It’ll be more of a vacation than anything else because these rumors are laughable at best.
A werewolf?
Like hell!
Good thing I decided to go because what I find is far more horrifying than I ever thought possible.
My name is Rogue, and I am the wolf shifter king. The top alpha. Nothing scares me…not normally. Not until today and right now. I find that my worst possible nightmare has come true.
My past has come back to bite me.

Very boring. Not enough emphasis on the relationship. It was like everything else was happening and the h&H just existed in the background until BAM “I love you’s” happened.

Rage is the fourth fantastic book in The Beast King Brides series.
I am addicted to this series; it is full of drama, it is sexy, it is fun and it is full of paranormal romantic goodness. They are Kings, alpha males in all shapes and sizes with Vampires, Shifters, Elves and more. It is sexy, sizzling, smoking Hot, it jumps right off the pages and leaves you needing more.
They find sassy, headstrong females but not everything goes to plan. These men are ruthless power players but underneath it all are men who love fast, they love with their whole heart.
Charlene has woven a captivating, tangled web of lies, suspense, drama and love. The characters are to die for, and each have their own voice in this series. I love that we get their POV because it makes them more real.
There are plenty of witty moments and humour that will have you laughing out loud.

Don’t know who to blame…but shame on me to think that this series would improve…if you are into double standards..women who can only converse by, yelling, shouting or screaming…then this is your book….I thought Jade from last book was bad Cathy is worse..sorry I wasted my Sunday afternoon, could have cleaned or done laundry for better entertainment.

Taming Rage
This book was very well written. I’m still loving these beast master stories! This is Cathy & Rogue’s Tao. Rogue is the wolf beast master king of all packs the world over. He met Cathy 16 years ago at a very tragic & difficult time in his life. They had one unbelievable night together. It led to such tragedy that Cathy is still dealing with it 16 years later. Their union resulted in a child, a daughter named Stevie. Cathy is a teacher at the local high school. She changed her name, phone number & moved to ensure that Rogue (AKA Steve & John) never located her after the “incident”. But when Rogue is tasked with finding out if rumors of a werewolf siting is true or false, all of their worlds are rocked. No one’s life will ever be the same….

Beast King Brides👰♀️
Rage is the next book in this series by Charlene and features Rogue, our wolf king👑 There have been sightings of a werewolf in a small out of the way town. Instead of sending someone else to investigate, Rogue decides to go himself and what he finds shocks him❣️
I would love to say more but suffice to say I feel it will all be spoilers, so I’m only giving you a little taste but as usual Charlene weaves a fantastic paranormal world and let’s just say I’m not going to be ready leaving this world anytime soon😍
I received an advanced copy and willingly leave my honest review❤️

Rogue is the fourth king in this great series.
The good thing with this series is that all the kings are very different with totally separate issues but you get to hear about the previous ones as they are all friends & interconnected.
Rogue goes to investigate a werewolf sighting in a town where there are no known wolves only to discover Cathy & Stevie. He has a past history with Cathy & very soon realises what this means.
The storyline gripped me from the start & I loved Cathy with her attitude to seeing Rogue again after such a long time.
Great book & once again I’m wanting to read the next one.

accidental fated mating
Love this story of the wolf beast king. He found his mate, at least his wolf knew, and he almost lost his throne because she was human. Over the last 15 years neither find another and neither truly knows what their lives have turned into. Fate again has their paths cross and they learn of each others stories and learn they just feel right as mates! The twists and turns are awesome and the characters are so tangiable you could swear you live next door to them. Great follow up in the series. I cannot wait to see what unfolds with the newest dragon beast king! Enjoy.

Loved it!!!
That mage is at it again, and playing both sides. I thought as much that he had something up his sleeve. That mage always a step ahead of them all, wow his rein will never end u til he gets what he want. So happy for Rogue and Cathy, also Stevie, so happy they are all a family and Rogue is still the wolf king. Happy for Carter being a new dad. I wander what will happen to Daegal, I knew that mage was up to no good and Rogue knew it too, but didn't know he was also involved with outing Rogue and his now family of Cherokee Hills....so looking forward to Daegal story, a dragon without dragon fire wow can't wait, big fan Winzie19🤗💞.

This is a fun series
I've read all the previous books in this series and they're all very good.
The romance is sweet and the male romantic leads are all naughty and nice. 🌶🌶🌶
The female characters all show a level of intelligence and independence without coming across as arrogant.
In this book, I really liked the female character's strength. I also appreciated the attempt to portray the trauma of a person who had been sexually assaulted and how it can stay with you for many years. And also change the way you live your life.
I liked the way the ending leads into the next book.

Rage...
The Beast King Brides book 4. No spoilers from me. Rogue meets his mate in the form of a blast from the past. Rogue goes to investigate a werewolf siting. Only to find ties to his past that he has tried to put behind him. The last intertwined with the present and there can be no future without some crazy answers. But circumstances has him falling for Cathy, fighting for their relationship to flourish and a secret that I won't spoil. The evil tries to destroy them and low key conspiracy that goes all the way to the top. This book is filled with drama, lies, secrets, angst, betrayal, action, and sexy.

Starts slow but ends great
Loved this book! I actually read this whole series a few years ago. Since then, I’ve read about 1,000 books, so this was like reading it for the first time. But I remembered it when I read”Tasoss Greatness” in book 2. Who could ever forget THAT character?!
Lots of things to love about this book. Rogue and Cathy’s love story, sadness then joy with Stevie, all get their HEA. Villain was pretty obscure until the very end—-then pretty mundane political bulls***. This book had one of my favorite 2-word sentences, though—-“Chaos ensued” !!
Highly recommend for fans of fantasy romance.

I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next with Daegal! Absolutely loved it and I very highly recommend reading about these kings!

An interesting storyline for Rogue
I am reading this series and this is book four for King of the werewolves named Rogue. From reading the other books, we know that Rogue did something in his past to almost cause him to lose the throne but he has redeemed himself. There is a two footed werewolf sighting in another town and King Thane asks him to check it out. Rogue decides to go check it out himself and take advantage of getting away from the Council. Rogue finds out that the sightings are true, but what will he do about this wolf? Read On!

Not a romance - read on KU - spoilers
Most of this book is about Rogue meeting his daughter. Rekindling his relationship with the girl's mother takes a back seat to that. The steamy scenes were too similar to others in the series.
Tassos is back and can't be trusted even though he does help in some ways.
I liked the 1st and 2nd books better than the 3rd and 4th. Hope the last two are better. The author could also stand to cut back on the number of exclamation points she uses.

The Beast King Brides Book 4 - Stunning!
I am fairly new to the Beast King Brides, I started book 1 about 5 days ago and have systematically devoured each gourmet delight ever since. I am totally hooked, on the characters, they are all so different and fascinating. I am also hooked on Charlene Hartenady's supreme imagination and sense of humour.
I have just finished book 4, about to start book 5! Another sleepless night for me as I know I'm advance I won't be able to put it down.

Fun and good story.
This was very well-written. Its was fun and funny, the humor was good as the previous 3 books.
This story was different because it started with past. I like it when the characters are not 18 and they are much older. It’s not a childrens book. Everybody are perfect and so on. This is like life it self.
About the spice 🌶️/1, there was so little of the spice scene. But I really love this saga and I didn’t mind that it lack of the spice.
Its clever how the story is written, it always goes on in the next book.

The more I read from this author the more I love her. Her writing is on point. Can't go wrong with reading this series. Just beware, you won't be able to put them down. You will want to read them till they are all done, then you'll be upset that it's over so quickly. Now, i'm going to go to the next book in this series and start reading. Husband is out of town for a couple days so I get to read all I want, hehe.
December 21, 2022
Rogue's book is awesome!! I couldn't wait to read it and it exceeded my expectations! I don't want to give anything away because there are some surprises. I will say this book is sexy, dangerous with some humor. Just like all the other books in the series. I hope we get to see more of Tassos in the next book. He is so ridiculous is awesome!!
December 21, 2022
Wow what a story!!! I loved Rage, his relationship with Stevie was just as wonderful to see as his love for Cathy. I loved the little twist with the mage and look forward to where that's going in the next story. I loved the scene with the council, go Stevie!!
Fantastic read.
I received an ARC and this is my honest review.

I didn't want to put this book down
There is so much going on all throughout this book. I was devouring it. I got angry if I had to put it down to do anything else. I wanted the entire story but I also didn't want it to end. It was love in all the best forms family love romance love friendship love.

I received this book as an ARC for my honest review. I liked Rogue, Cathy & Stevie's story. I'm waiting for a story on Tassos. Lol. He's a loveable trouble-maker. I would liked to have had a bit more story with Cathy being a wolf. It ended before we saw them develop as a family. Still enjoyed the characters though.

Loved it!!!
I love Cathy and Rogue so much!!! Their story was so different than the last one in this series!!! I can’t wait to see what really happens to Rogue after this book and Ice, too!! Loving the twists and turns of this series!! So glad Stevie got a family and Cathy found peace and love with Rogue again!

"There are stories circling about a lone wolf in a town called Cherokee Hills. Talk of a creature who walks on two legs…a werewolf." Another awesome story in this series! Awesome characters, unpredictable situations, twists & turns, tons of steam, and of course Tassos provides tons of humor. He's certainly a very interesting and complicated character.

Rogue and cathy

Beast Kings wow
Charlene Hartnady has become one of my favorite authors! Each story is different has twist and turns and has me reading to see what's going to happen next! The beast King Brides! Cathy and Rogue basically fated against old lore and rules odds. I loved it! Just as in real life sometimes the rules just don't fit and it has to be an exception to the rule!
