Agent Lex TaylorMy assignment—take down human and drug trafficker Miguel Santino and rescue Leyna Martinez, the sister of an outlaw MC member.One look.That’s all it took.My center of gravity shifted, and I knew; she was going to be mine.I take down criminals; the rats of society. I eat, sleep and breathe the law, but I’m willing to risk it all—my badge and my life to protect her.
Well I saw these two getting together from the beginning! I’m very happy about their story, there’s some tiff from the start but you can see the love they have for each other trump over everything else, phenomenal read.
Have you ever anticipated a book, and going into it you know its going to be good, knowing that the authors are amazing at what they do? Then, as you are reading you discover that the book is so much better than expected. Well this book was just that. I often wondered about Lex and Leyna, now I know. Agent Lex Taylor is a determined, loving, “Nonna’s boy”, but fierce when he needs to be. Leyna is a sweet, innocent woman, but when pushed she’s sassy, and capable of holding her own. They are one fiery hot couple, they have an instant connection, but remained friends with late night calls and text messages. Leyna makes a choice that upsets her brother, but Lex is there for her, being patient, kind, protective, supportive, and understanding. This book had the perfect amount of intrigue, suspense, and Passion. I enjoyed every second of their journey together. Well done ladies! Cant wait to read what comes next from this duo.
Ok where do I even begin… These two AMAZING authors have done it again. I’m not even sure this review is going to do this book justice. This book has it all unforbidden love, mystery, and some amazing chemistry between the hero and heroine.
The unforbidden love is for the fact that Leyna is the sister to Gabriel who is in the MC Kings Of Retribution. Agent Lex Taylor is a part of the FBI so do you see the unforbidden part yet. The relationship between the two is a big source of contention between Leyna and her brother. Now with all of this being said Leyna is her own woman and knows what and who she wants. Lex being the strong alpha male knew the moment he saw the beautiful young lady that he was going to make her his. Now obviously I am not going to spill the beans on the mystery part, because I feel you need to read this book and find out for yourselves. As for the chemistry between the two if you have read any of the other books you know what I am talking about, and if you haven’t well you are in for a very good surprise. These two authors know how to write a story and make you feel as if you are a part of it.
As I was saying we all have met Leyna Martinez in the Kings Of Retribution series as she is Gabriel’s little sister. In this book we get to find out more about her life in Cuba and more of her background. We get to see the smart intelligent woman she is. The backbone she has and just how she will not be railroaded by anybody. She makes her own choices and does not feel the need to apologize for them. Lex is perfect for her he sees just exactly who she is and helps her spread her wings to fly. Lex is a man who has been burned in the past. There is no one that is going to tell him he can’t be with the woman that he knows his is
Holy moly! This book had kept me on the edge of my seat! From the moment Lex and Leyna crossed paths I knew things were going to get hot and heavy. Their connection is instant and Lex can’t explain the need he feels to protect her, but it goes so much deeper than that.
Oh there may be fireworks! Leyna is Gabriel’s baby sister so we get to catch up with the Kings, unfortunately not everybody is happy!
Somebody is after Leyna and then throw in Lex’s ex?!! Gah!!!!
I wanted to like this book but the spelling and grammar mistakes were too distracting. The storyline was decent but I still struggled to finish it.

Love Above Law was cowritten by Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels.
The timeline aligned with book two in the Kings of Retribution MC series, the Darkest of Light. Leyna Martinez was Gabriel’s younger sister and was caught up in the suspenseful plot that surfaced within Gabriel and Alba’s story. Agent Lex Taylor was introduced in that saga as well.
Technically it could be read as a stand-alone; however, I enjoyed it more having had the full back story but this time getting the insight from Lex and Leyna’s perspectives.
I loved both characters as well as the storyline and I was glad the MC was incorporated, even if at a distance. Although enjoyable, I was craving more. It was an entertaining, quick and suspenseful read but I would have welcomed a longer version with more depth. In the end, I can’t wait to see what the authors have in store for us next.
Intense and full of angst!! Edgy and suspenseful!! My anxiety level was through the roof! Great HEA!!
Let’s start off by saying these author’s are definitely one of my top go to authors for MC romance reads as everything they write are always awesome reads and this current read was just as awesome.
The story itself was suspenseful and heart wrenching in the fact that the Leyna was separated from your family by a whole country as well experiencing the loss of love ones moving on but, also about reconnection and about your past sins coming back to haunt you by effecting those you love getting caught up in the crossfire.
Leyna- We found to be smart,brave,loyal,beautiful,loving,giving,caring and willing to take risks.We loved when she loved you she loved all your faults and all of you.I loved the fact that she grew up in Cuba and lived life modestly but, she accepted her brother’s lifestyle with open arms and loved his family fiercely and they loved her back just as much.
Gabe- Gabes been a favorite of mine we already loved the dark and moody brute of a man who happens to be be Leyna’s brother their love evident and their closeness for one another no matter the distanced they have endured but, that love will be tested when Leyna decides to love someone who is will always be the clubs enemy. Leyna needs to prove she can be loyal to both sides and only hope her brother comes around before its to late.
Lex-We loved him and found him to be patient,driven,protective,highly skilled when it came to his job,loved his family fiercely,sexy,smart,funny,caring,loving but, what we loved most of all is the closeness he had with is family especially since their always in his business.Can you just imagine what that was like as he had three opinionated sisters and he was an unmarried male. Lol I loved his special moments with his Nonna.
We loved the suspenseful story as it had tons of drama as well begin infused with a sweet romance that went on between Lex and Leyna. The story had an engaging plot a great cast of character’s and a amazing ending that was perfect for this couple but, most of all we loved seeing that straight laced Lex fall apart and go to great lengths and would sacrifice all that he has worked for just to save the women her loved and have he back in his arms once again at all cost.
Another Keeper ! Sandy & Crystal have done it yet again !
Lex is an FBI agent trying to take down a human trafficking operation and the man behind it. He also is to rescue Leyna, the sister of one of the MC members. This was such a heartbreaking, emotional story that gives you the background on both Lex and Leyna and how they meet. These two were destined to be together and go through hell to stay together. A great read and a first for me by these two authors. Bravo!
I had high hopes for my first book from this writing duo. Sadly, I found Love Above Law a bit of a let down. Don’t get me wrong, the danger was high but it was the connection between Lex and Leyna that I missed.
I liked Lex, His protectiveness. His kindness. His dedication to his job and family. And how hard and fast he fell of Leyna. That Leyna was a firecracker for sure. A fighter. Fearless. She spoke her mind and chased her dreams.
They met under the most intense of circumstances but the moment their eyes locked, something shifted. They both knew they hadn’t felt that way before but the odds were stacked against them. Mainly because of who Leyna’s brother was. Gabe was the reason she got caught up in the mess to begin with. But he’s also the reason she met Lex- so….
There was absolutely no love lost between Gabe and Lex. They were on opposite sides of the law and stuck in the middle was Leyna and what she wanted for her future. But when a threat from the past comes back to threaten what Lex and Leyna had been building, it was Lex who swallowed his pride and called in the help he needed to save his woman.
I enjoyed Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez’s writing. I liked that their characters came from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures. Amid the chaos and danger there was a sweet love story. I will say that I found Love Above Law a hair predictable but I did enjoy it.
Love Above Law was amazingly written by talented authors Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels. This is the story of Agent Lex Taylor, FBI & Leyna Martinez, Gabriel Martinez sister. We first meet Lex and Leyna in book 2 of The Kings of Retribution MC series. In this book we get all the details about her abduction and rescue. The plot is intense and captivating, full of drama, action, danger, love, passion, strong characters, family support, strength and a lot of sexual tension. Once I started reading this book I didn’t want to put it down. I freaking LOVED this book so much! NO SPOILERS!!!! GO BUY IT < A MUST READ!!!
4 stars
Great book as a bit of a side shoot from the Kings of Retribution MC series. Not quite a MC book and not quite a FBI book, Love Above Law merges these two worlds.
FBI agent Alexander Taylor is beating his head against a wall in their case against a vile criminal; they need a lead big time! The break they needed in the case comes from an odd source but taking down the notorious Santino was worth the compromise. A local MC has info on the whereabouts of Santino and the damning evidence that he’s holding the sister of one of their members. Rescuing the stunning woman from the clutches of a horrific criminal was easy but Lex falls for Leyna almost immediately. Despite the instant connection, Lex honors their deal with the club and delivers Leyna into the hands of the motorcycle club where her brother is the enforcer. But as time passes he can’t get the beautiful woman out of his head and pulling the strings of the Santino case just reveals more questions. When Leyna decides to go back to school, Lex jumps at the chance to merge their lives but he doesn’t know she’s become the target of an obsessive madman.
I really enjoyed this book and the great characters. Lex and Leyna are equal parts badass and big ole softie. I love how determined Leyna is to make it on her own but she still knows how to give her Alpha man what he needs in keeping her safe. Plenty of heat and chemistry between our h and H. Loved seeing the MC characters again, they were a great addition to the story. All in all a really great read!

I have been anxiously awaiting Lex’s and Leyna’s story since the characters were introduced in the Kings of Retribution Series. Love Above Law brings it all to the table – love, strength, family, and passion with an extra-large side of sexual tension. I love how genuine and true to themselves both characters were. We get to see Leyna’s strength, while Lex shows us his softer side. But make no mistake, he’s ready and willing to do anything for his woman.
Wow, this story blew me away! I love these authors’ MC series, and I thought it would take a lot to top them, but my word, they have done it! Leyna and Lex’s story is totally amazing from beginning to end. This is a well written flawless story, which is intense, powerful, emotional, tragic, heartbreaking, as well as filled with family, strength, and passion. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more from this exceedingly talented duo of authors’ whose work I highly recommend for all.
Get ready boys and girls because the amazing duet Crystal and Sandy have a new book for us to read and devour. Oh boy… I was so excited about this book since the moments these two amazing authors showed us a small glimpse…
These two are the bomb writing and they complete each other. They have written one of my favorite MC series and I was dying to read more.
Love Above Law is their latest release and tells the stories of Lex and Lenya.
Lex is an FBI agent that was given the task to take down one of the biggest criminal of the world and rescue a girl that has been abducted.
One look at Lenya and…
Lenya she’s a feisty woman that knows what she wants and doesn’t take shi*** from no-one. We had met her in The Kings of Retribution MC series because she’s Gabriel’s sister and we had a glimpse of her temper.
One day her life changed but was it for the better or worse???
So good. So perfect. So beautiful. This book just stole my heart.
Sublime plot, very well written, super engaging, intense and hot.
The chemistry these two share is beautiful to see and love is all around each chapter.
Of course that a good book needs to have drama and crime so this was not an exception. THings happened that left me shaking so hard, bu there were times that I felt complete. One page it was a sunny day but in the next it was darkness all around us.
It was amazing to have news from the Kings. I love this series so much that I don’t want it to end. I always want more.
This book presented us with love, family bonds, loyalty, partnership as well as crime, revenge and darkness. It was perfect from page 1 till the end.
Crystal and Sandy… You two keep amazing me with every single book and I can’t wait to find out what that pretty head of yours is creating.

“Love above Law” was the next chapter after the King of Retribution MC” series. The story between Leyna and Lex was captivating and I cant put it down.
I was excited to see how close the family was.. Despite many challenges and nightmare.. the story kept going.
Looking forward for more 🙂
This series never disappoints. Leyna was a strong heroine and Lex was all alpha and sexy. I was intrigued about these two since Leyna’s brother book and i was not one hit disappointed.
The things Leyna went thru and Lex instant attraction to her were thru the roof. But Leyna was no damsel in distress. It was a slow build and when they finally made it official the fireworks were just wow. They were a dynamic duo and Leyna was not messing around with anyone trying to get in between them; lol that scene was one of my favorites. And Lex wasn’t too far behind. He’s an FBI agent that never backed down especially against Leyna’s brother who wasn’t too happy and didn’t approve because of Lex profession. But that never stopped these two and I loved it. Leyna followed her heart.
It wouldn’t be a Kings of retribution story without all the heart stopping moments where Lex proves how much he cares for Leyna and how far he will go for her. Logan and Bella are still my favorites but these two aren’t too far behind.
In Love Above Law we finally get Leyna and Lex’s story. We meet Leyna and Lex in my personal favorite King’s of Retribution book The Darkest Light. Leyna is the sassy sister of Gabriel and Lex the hot FBI agent. Kidnapped from her home Leyna is frightened but in comes Lex and saves the day. This guy is alpha male to the max. These two fight an attraction. Leyna knows seeing Lex will only drive a wedge between her and her brother. Leyna is torn between her outlaw family and her Lawman. Love Above Law is a sweet romance with a dose of mystery. When Leyna becomes threatened again Lex will do anything to save her, even join forces with her brother.
Holy cannoli the anticipation of Lex and Leyna’s story! This was the best extension story to The Kings of Retribution MC and was exceptionally delivered. There are so many layers of the book, and it also helped to provide a refresher of previous books and scenarios, as it had been a while since I had read the books that were set around the time of this one. The character growth and development is amazing – both Lex and Leyna grew both as individuals as well as together as a couple. It seemed as if Lex looked at the law very black and white in the beginning and through the book we see him realize that it’s not quite what he thought along with his actions after making that realization. I was amazed at how Leyna was able to really adapt from being kidnapped, to not going back to her home, and then leaving her brother for another unknown. And of course, them finding love together was a great addition to the story. The suspense of the book kept me on my toes and racing to read more to see if my predictions were correct. I can only continue to say great things about not only this book, but also all the books from this duo as a whole. Here’s to hoping they will extend this book and give Kai his own story?
