Well.. I was mad with Gabe for a while for what he think its best for Alba.. I love how the story progress.. The Darkest of Light had shown what an MC romance was… Alpha male who put their love one before themselves..
I enjoyed the boook so much and didnt put it down until the final pages. The story is deep, full of action.. the drama between the character was crazy and funny at times…
Where do I start second book in the series starts off where the first one finished, I devoured this book in one day I could not put it down. Alba and Gabriel there was a attraction that turned into need, then when they do finally take the plunge, everything tries to tear it apart. Take a chance to see if they are able to overcome and make it, and catch up with everyone else from the first book!!
We got to know Alba in the 1st book and her love for Gabriel. The Darkest of Light gives us more of them both and their journey of love. A highly must read. Love!
What can I say about these two? Well, first off they’re sturborn, don’t give an inch, fight their feelings for each other but when danger comes forward she knew she didn’t have a choice but to ask for help. These bikers comes together to fight and protect one of their own, it also pushes Gabriel to own up to his feelings for her, in my opinion they’re perfect for one another, this is my favorite book by far.
MC, MC, MC… Gimme, gimme, gimme. It can be a scary genre but it’s so amazing, so wild, so forbidden, so raw…
I’ve read my fair share of this books but I always want more. To top that, to have the chance of knowing new author’s is amazing. So amazing. In this particular case I got two. Hurray me.
Sandy Alvarez e Crystal Daniels know what they are doing because this book is…. Amazing. Their writing complete each other. It’s wild, raw, simple yet detailed and with so much to offer between words.
The Darkness of Light is their latest release and it’s the second book from The Kings of Retribution MC and I need to read the first one. I have so many questions that need answers and I need Undaunted.
This new book tells the stories of Gabriel and Alba.
Gabriel is the enforcer for the Kings of Retribution MC. He is a raw guy but don’t let that fool you because he had a kind heart, but to find it you need to dig into it. He had a very bad childhood as that made him the way he is today.
Alba is a bookworm, if you look out for her she has her head stuck into a book, but don’t let that fool you because she’s a very strong girl. She has a huge crush for Gabriel but when he rejects her and breaks her heart she loose it. She needed to get away from him so she opted to go to college and do something with her life that she really wanted. But life isn’t easy and has other ideas for her so she need to get back. But how can she?
Jesus… Can I be even more overwhelmed? This books has is all.
Great storyline, amazing plot and these two are something else entirely. The interation between them is raw, it’s suffering, it’s exquisite and astounding but he’s so stubborn that I wanted to slap him.
Let me tell you that I wanted to hit him hard enough to hurt but I couldn’t because he had a very good reason to be the way he was.
This story will give you loyalty, friendship, family, love as well as heartache, deceive, punishment, angst, drama and so on.
But you can rest your heart because steamy scenes are in here too. Oh boy… Hot…
I’m amazed with it’s intensity and I can say that I really want more, but first I’m going to read Undaunted and get the answers I’m seeking than I’ll impatiently wait for more from these two author’s.
Please girls… When can we have more? Will we have to wait to long for it? Please say no.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I was simply swooned by the characters and the of The Darkest of Light, the second book of The Kings of Retribution MC. I had been waiting for this book for weeks, and I was not disappointed by the amazing writing of sisters Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez. It focuses on Alba and Gabriel’s story, and it is full of angst, drama, steamy scenes and unexpected twists and turns.
The character development is phenomenal, giving lots of insight into the main characters, who we met in Undaunted. Alba is Bella’s 19-year-old sweet and bookworm sister, while Gabriel is a broody, badass biker and tattoo artist. Deep down he is also a huge teddy bear, imperfect but ready to step in and protect the love of his life!
Can’t wait to see what’s next from this writing duo. I’ve said it in the past, they have a bright future ahead.

WOW! The Darkest of Light picks up exactly where Undaunted left off, however this is Gabriel and Alba’s story. We all know that Gabriel is a rough around the edges kind of guy and Alba always has her nose stuck in a book.
What can I say, this book was a very anticipated, can’t miss read!! As I was reading, my heart broke so many times for Alba & of course I thought Gabriel was a jerk but I completely understand why. I’ve only cried with two other authors books and before those two, I never cried while reading any book. Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels truly have this amazing gift of storytelling, these two wonderful ladies have made me cry so much while reading The Darkest of Light that I can’t tell you how many tears were shed because of this book! I loved every moment…the good, the bad, all of it! I wouldn’t trade any of the emotional impact from reading this book for anything!!
This book starts right after the end of the first one which is great. The story continues with Alba and Gabriel there story is an age gap story we’re he pushes her away as he thinks it’s best for her. He crushes her and she leaves thinking he doesn’t care about her. She starts getting stalked at college and ends up running back to the MC when Gabriel sees what she has been hiding. Things get crazy before they get there happy ever after.
4*
Gabriel can’t believe the pull he feels towards Alba she’s bella’s younger sister and is shy the opposite to him.
Leaving for college is the last thing she really wants so he must do what he feels is right and thats push her away.
When things come to a head she goes back to the one place she feels safe Gabriel, but who is hunting her?
The Darkest of Light is the second title in the Kings of Retribution MC series, featuring Alba and Gabriel. Their relationship is complex and plagued by misunderstandings, miscommunications, secrets and lies. Both characters appeared in the previous title.
Gabriel ‘Gabe’ is a big, gruff, tattooed enforcer for the Kings of Retribution MC. He has a soft loving side when it comes to those he cares for most.
Alba is a shy, introverted heroine who loves to read. She’s also the younger sister of Bella who appeared in Undaunted.
The chemistry between this pair is intense, their story is suspenseful and takes off from where the previous book left off.
I loved the camaraderie between the brothers and look forward to future additions to the series.
The Darkest Of Light by Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels is the second book in the Kings of Retribution MC series. Secrets, surprises, danger, suspense… sweetness, family and steam. Gabriel and Alba are sexy together and their story kept me interested and begging for more.
The second book of the series and the action didn’t stop at book one, Gabriel and Alba’s story was just as action packed as the first. This story starts off in summer time, so we get the full story of what exactly happened between the two. We do start this knowing that they are not together just not the reason for that. Not gonna say anything else as I don’t want to spoil anything. I will say this story was just what I wanted for an MC story, loads of drama, action, really nice naughty moments. I love that these are building into the next story, makes a reader excited to see what’s coming next. I give this 5 stars.
This one definitely had me on the edge of my seat!! There is a an instant connection between Alba and Gabriel, he is indeed her protective dark Angel and that warned my heart.
And then he pushes her away, thinking he is doing what’s best for her, what transpires then has him cursing himself and doing all he can to keep her safe. Gabriel is going to need the help of his brothers to ensure this.
Loving this brotherhood, loving this series!
Amazing! Alba and Gabriel are perfect for one another, it may have taken a while but when the finally got it together they were amazing. Loved how we got to know Gabriel more and his back story. This book was suspenseful, intriguing, and romantic. Loved it!
OH MY CUBAN GOODNESS!
I don’t even know where to begin with this one… thank you for finally giving the world Gabriel and Alba’s story. I have to say I did not see half of these things coming, some of it yes, but for the most part it was full of surprises! I loved the grumpy Gabriel we have had glimpses of in book one so I was over the moon to finally read his book. Alba is a quiet bookworm but when faced with a life changing situation she puts her big girl britches on and faces it head on which is something I really like about her. I can relate to her a lot. From what we had seen of her before this was a big change and a welcoming one at that. Gabriel, while never changing his grumpy ways, does open up and show us more to his personality and I loved these two together. Somehow they just make it work! Best couple in the MC romance so far!! Call me bias because I married my very own grumpy Cuban man and these two reminded me so much of us that I’m sure even my husband got tired of hearing me talk about how fantastic The Darkest of Light is. I also wanted to add that I appreciate the added use of the translation behind every Spanish phrase for those who don’t speak Spanish that is a nice addition. Also, the Cuban background was spot on.
After being kidnapped and rescued by Gabriel Martinez, Alba Jameson’s only source for feeling truly safe and protected was Gabriel. They grew extremely close but Gabriel knew Alba was heading to college and did not want to stand in her way of achieving her dreams. Gabriel pushed Alba away and in doing so broke her heart and lost her trust. Now Alba is back and has a secret, not to mention a stalker who is determined to get to her. Gabriel knows he needs to regain Alba’s trust and will do everything in his power to protect her.
This was another great addition to the story. I thought Alba was mature for her age, but she had to be given her history from the previous books. I liked that there were new characters added into the story and Gabriel is a gruff alpha male who is trying to do the right thing. Wonderful story, can’t wait to read the next book.
This is the second book in The Kings Of Retribution MC series. It continues to follow the characters from Undaunted and This story picks up with Alba and Gabriel. Alba continues to have trouble sleeping after her ordeal and she goes into Gabriel room because she feels safe in there. Their chemistry has always been off the charts but they never acted on them. Then one night she went to his room she decided that she wanted him and was tired of being afraid. She lost her virginity and the next morning she thought they be together but he told her she was just sex. She left his room crying and devastated. He thought he was helping her by making her leave because she had a scholarship to a good college. All she wanted was him and to stay in town with her family. She left for college heartbroken and when her sister asked her to come home to visit she found excuses not to. Gabriel knew he messed up and was unhappy without her. Alba started having weird things happening to her almost as soon as she got to college. She never would tell anyone about what was happening until something vile happened at her apartment that scared her and had her running home. Gabriel has been going through some work complications that involve his family. This story is told from Alba and Gabriel point of views. It is action packed rollercoaster ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Don’t miss out on this well written beautiful story.
Alba has wanted Gabriel for a long time and she takes her chance with him only to have him destroy her the following morning. She runs away from him and the protection of the MC. Unfortunately danger finds her and forces her back home, but she is determined to make her way without Gabriel in her life. Gabriel will not accept not being with Alba as he knows he made the biggest mistake in his life when he destroyed them, but what if it’s too late for either of them as danger finds Alba. Oh WOW! Loved this book so much. I love how strong Alba was even when she faced some pretty hard choices in her young life. The characters are what really made this story what it is. I would highly recommend this book and author!!! AMAZING READ!!
All I can say is OMFG!!! The Darkest of Light picks right up where Undaunted left off. I love how family comes first whether it’s blood or your family by choice. This book is about Alba and Gabriel.
Alba is Bella’s little sister and really comes into her own in this book. Gabriel is a gruff no nonsense ALPHA male all the way. Some big misunderstanding happens, because Gabriel believes he is doing right by Alba. Unknown to anyone Alba has trouble following her. The love that Gabriel has for Alba is what many women wish for. He will and does do anything for her. Alba may be what some consider a innocent, but she definitely keeps him on his toes. These 2 were made for each other, and I love how much they both evolved, because of their love for one another. I’m not going to spill anything else, but to say this is a MUST read.
I love how the authors have multiple point of views and the flow of the writing is fantastic. I can not wait for the next in the series and Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels are on my one click list!!
Wow blown away by Gabriel and Alba. This book was amazing, I was on the edge of my seat the entire book. I read it cover to cover! Cannot wait for Reid and Quinn’s books!!
