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.
I really loved this fiesta heroine. I love the Spanish sprinkled throughout the story. The hero was boring to me. All he did was work and keep secrets, that doesn’t bode well for the future. I liked the story because it was a bit different. The problems I noticed with the story was that the name Taylor doesn’t sound Italian to me. The heroine was brought to the US illegally and there was never any mention of the Immigration process. She would have been deported in real life. I still recommend this story. It was entertaining.
Love Above Law
by Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez
We have met Lex and Leyna in previous MC books but in this one you get their whole story. You don’t have to read the other books to read this book.
Lex Taylor FBI agent who is assigned to find and take down drug and trafficker Miquel Santino. Lead after lead coming up empty until he receives a call from Jake Delane the President of The Kings of Retribution MC. He has information on where to find Santino but the Club needs his help because they are being blackmailed and Santino has kidnapped Leyna Martinez one of his MC members sister.
Leyna is a strong, loyal, fierce woman who won’t let anyone push her around not her kidnapper, brother or boyfriend.
I love how Lex and Leyna’s relationship begins as a friendship and builds slowly into more. Their chemistry is palpable yet he holds back waiting and watching to make sure she is ready. Their love for each other never waivers even when outside forces try to wreak havoc.
Their journey wasn’t a walk in the park yet they never gave up with the support of family and friends and Love Above Law!!
Five
If you loved all of the MC books they wrote this book is PERFECT for you. Lex and Leyna have the best slow burn relationship that is beyond HOT! I devoured this book in one day because I simply could not put it down.
Leyna has been brought to America from her Cuba by her brother’s enemy. A terrifying ordeal that ends when a beautiful man rescues her. Alexander “Lex” Taylor has been married to his job in law enforcement ever since his girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend. When he lays eyes on Leyna, he knows that she is it for him. She is beautiful, smart, and feisty. Taking her to her brother’s MC club was the hardest thing he has ever done. Luckily the phone he gave her to keep in touch brings them closer and closer. When Leyna is shot, she decides to start living and goes with Lex to Seattle. With a killer stalking women in Seattle, Lex has to balance his job and protecting Leyna. That should be easy right?
I have been waiting for Lex and Leyna’s story ever since she showed up in her brother Gabe’s book. Leyna is a wonderful character, strong and sweet. She handles everything life throws at her with dignity and looks at what has happened to her as an opportunity. Lex could appear closed off but once he spots Leyna, he is anything but. He bides his time and then stops at nothing to get her into his life, his apartment and finally his bed. These two are the perfect match, fitting into his life and his family so wonderfully. The suspense of this one kept me on edge and I was happy to see it resolved. Daniels and Alvarez are a great team that deliver exactly what their fans expect, hot alpha guys who know a good woman when they see them. I hope we get to see glimpses of Lex and Leyna’s life in future books as we have the members of the Kings. Riveting and hot, Love Above Law gets 5 stars from this happy reader!
Absolutely captivating and a great page turner! Couldn’t not get enough of lex and boy is he hot. Simply fabulous storyline and great character build couldn’t be more pleased with this story and the details. Page turner and definitely should read in one sitting. Love be how it links to the stories but definitely can read as a standalone without loosing any of the plot. Not wants you to go back and reread the other characters’ stories. Truly great
I didn’t think I’d ever love anything quite as much and Sandy and Crystal’s MC series, but I was completely proven wrong. Love Above Law is not only captivating from the very start it’s also one of the most beautiful stories of love ever. Romantic love, family bonds, and all the ups and downs and everything in between, it’s just overflowing in this book. Leyna and Lex have a story that will absolutely blow you away.
Individually both Leyna and Lex are incredible people who from two wildly opposite worlds. However that isn’t enough to stop them from being down right amazing together. Their love is near instant but filled with so many hurdles you’d think no one could overcome. That doesn’t hold these two back though. The powerful and intense connect they have pulls them closer and closer together and nothing can stop something like that. With as much nail biting suspense as there is major swoon there is no putting this book down once you start!
I absolutely loved Love above Law. The authors have given us two very strong independent
characters in Lex and Leyna. Lex is and FBI agent and Leyna is a struggling teacher in Cuba. Lex comes from a large italian family and Leyna is all alone except for her brother, Gabe, who lives in the US and is the enforcer for the Kings of Retribution MC.
Lex and Leyna meet under the worse of circumstance, yet the spark between them is instantaneous. Watching their story unfold will break you heart at time and melt it at other. The authors have given us a powerful storyline that had me flipping page after page. It’s awesome to reconnect with the guys from the Kings of Retribution, MC and they do play an exciting role in Lex and Leyna’s story.
I don’t do spoilers so I’ll just say Buy the Book, you won’t regret the purchase. It a suspenseful, exciting romance that will have you cringing, smiling and sighing. 2 Thumbs Up for a great 5 Star read.
Love Above Law is Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez’s first book that takes place outside the Kings of Retribution MC world. Although we first meet Alexander “Lex” Taylor and Leyna Martinez in The Darkest of Light, we finally get all the details about her abduction and rescue.
Their insta-love story is nothing short of amazing, hot and full of angst. It’s impossible not feel connected with these characters because, after all, who doesn’t one a chance in life and love? While Lex is every bit of alpha, badass FBI agent, Leyna is not your typical damsel in distress. She might be in trouble but she is a strong and outspoken Cuban woman. She is inventive and feisty. And to me, finding a character like this is simply refreshing because there aren’t many heroines like her.
I purposely don’t want to give away details of their story because this book should be read by going in blind. Trust me, you will appreciate the full effect of their story and feel every bit of frustration and angst that surrounds it.
If you are a fan of the Kings of Retribution MC, don’t worry! This might not be an MC book, but you will still get a glimpse of them, including some of Quinn’s famous and funny out-of-place remarks. But my favorite secondary character is Lex’s nonna. She steals the show and made me laughed so much that I had tears in my eyes.
Once again, I’m blown away by Crystal and Sandy’s capacity and talent to create characters that feel real and stories that I can’t put down. Since this book can be read as a standalone, it’s a great starting point if you want to experience Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez’s amazing writing. You will probably be hooked and want to binge read the Kings.
Love Above Law by Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez is the story of Alexander ‘Lex’ Taylor and Leyna Martinez. This is my first book by these two authors so I am late to the MC Kings Of Retribution series. I do wish that I had read the other books first, but that is just a personal preference because I enjoyed this one so much. This book can be a standalone book. Lex is a FBI Agent working to take down a drug and trafficker name, Miquel Santino. When the President of the Kings of Retribution MC offers him information in exchange for helping to get Leyna, Lex goes forward to with the deal. But he didn’t plan on his feelings going cray for Leyna. Leyna brother is part of the Kings of Retribution MC club, so she should be off limits to him…but neither can turn their back on their growing feelings for long. Loved their exciting story.
