Another awesome read by this fabulous author. I loved Petros and Kinsey’s story and their chemistry was off the charts, sexy af 😉 This older man, younger woman romance story has every element of an incredible story 🙂
Now this dude Petros? I FLOVE him, he’s bad, hes rude, and most all he’s very crude and gruff. But that’s who he is and if he wasn’t, he would’ve never been Prez of the Royal Bastards, goodness the man is beyond SEXY. Kinsey is very sassy and independent, she took a bad situation and turn it around with her personality and wouldn’t you believe it he fell fast. They mesh very well together but don’t let that fool you, together they’re are lethal. I’ve been so excited about this brand new series The Royal Bastards MC and the fact that it’s written by different authors made it more amazing, author Esther E Schmidt didn’t disappoint with this one, beautifully written, Thank You.
LOVE LOVE these two. Kinsey was too cute and the perfect fit for Petros. I love the scene when they meet. He plans to kidnap her and she’s drunk and thinks he’s a stripper. TOO AWESOME!! I fell in love with the characters and had to keep reading the series. I was not disappointed.
I think this is one of my favorite books about MCs. It was a great quick read.
I loved Petros and Kinsey! Motorcycles, alpha males, knife throwing, sassy woman, non-stop action, steamy times – what more could you want! Great characters and a well written story! Loved it!
This book was amazingly well written! But I have come to expo nothing less then a great story from Esther. Her characters are like real people that you think you are meeting at the coffee shop.
Her story takes you down the path of an MC Prez and how he might be able to help clear a debt in an interesting way.
Wanna know more, then I guess you need to get reading
Break Me Off A Piece Of That
I’m gonna be real….This bookcover grabbed my interest, and I was gonna buy this book no matter who wrote it…The fact that Esther E. Schmidt wrote it…win/win…..
So…Petros is the President of the Lincoln, Nebraska chapter of the Royal Bastards MC…Petros is older and cynical and set in his ways, and the last thing he wants or needs is an Old Lady….When he goes to kidnap the daughter of someone who owes the club a lot of money, he finds a drunk Kinsey….and he takes her…..right back to his room at the clubhouse….
Kinsey’s mother was just killed, and her sorry excuse for a father has disowned her, taking her job with her… A bottle of tequila…and what else could go wrong, right? Think big and bad and and riding a Harley….
That’s as far as I’m going…you need to read it….I loved PETROS…and Petros and Kinsey……I am not at all surprised the book is as good as it is…Esther E. Schmidt knows how to write a good book…and especially a good MC…And PETROS is proof….
I purchased this book via Amazon and am leaving my review voluntarily. This story is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. It is not as dark as the others in the series (so far)
Triggers: murder, assault, shootings
**spoilers**
I don’t want to give all the details. It’s worth reading. This story is a “nicer” MC read.
Petros, President of the Royal Bastards MC, out to collect a debt but grabs the girl
Kinsey, her mom was murdered, her dad abandoned her and she is taken by the MC her dad owes money to.
Kinsey is a feisty 26 year old. She’s attracted to her kidnapper Petros. But right away it’s obvious these two have a connection that goes deeper than just sex.
Some drama, violence eventually a HEA..
Petros and Kinsey are a fantastic pair!! I love when the big, growly bikers find their other half! Petros is a prefect growly alpha! Esther has outdone herself this time! Petros is organizing my harem right now!
Holy Snap… This was so good.
To start with I have to say that I really didn’t like Petros when he was first introduced. Seriously what an *ss… lol
But the was an alpha biker to the tee and the more I read the more I fell in love with him. Kinsey was freaking hilarious. From the moment you met her she had me literally LOL…
When this started Kinsey was just a means to an end for Petros. I mean nobody disrespects a biker and gets away with it, but when her life is in danger, Hello… Alpha to the rescue!!
This was a short read, but it was action packed and hot and badass and sassy and so much more that you will definitely read it in one go! I freaking loved it
*First time reading Author
Petros is a man you want to hate. He has no love for women, other than to use them and leave them. Petros believes that because he was done wrong that he can use any woman he wants to. But when Kinsey walks into his life she flips it all around.
I love that banter between Petros and himself and Petros and Kinsey. This side of the club is awesome, they are hardcore brothers that treat Kinsey like gold once they know she is worth it.
For my first time reading Esther, this is a great introduction. I loved this story!
Kinsey just can’t win. She’s got her dad throwing her to the wolves, her mother is gone and now she’s got to deal with some crazy guy who takes her away in the middle of the crap storm. One thing for sure, she can’t fight the incredible attraction she has for Petros, the man she should fully loath. But it’s kind of hard when he not only rocks her world but tries to fix it a little.
Petros makes no apologies for who he is. He lives in a dark and gritty world that doesn’t allow for sweetness and niceties. He’s become bitter and angry after being messed over by someone close to him. He’s out there to collect the stuff that is owed to him while protecting the club. He doesn’t expect to find the vivacious woman he finds when her father gives her up. He shouldn’t want her, but he does. She makes him feel, and he doesn’t like it.
In the end, they both have to figure out what the heck they’re dealing with when it comes to each other. Then they have to figure out the crap storm that has caught them both up!
I wanted to punch Petros in the face many times! But there really was something endearing to him. It was not hard to feel his pain (even if he didn’t show it) when it came to being hurt. For a true bad bum type of guy, he had morals that were surprising. It made me want to know more about him! Kinsey was freaking awesome! I love how she didn’t just take the crap that was thrown at her. Sure she had her moments of intense emotional spewage, but that was to be expected. She was a fighter and its exactly the pairing that Petro needed. I LOVED this book so much! It makes me want to follow the whole series! I love that its multiple authors for one series.
I wouldn’t say this book was perfect but I am still giving it five stars because I loved it and I loved the characters, I couldn’t put it done at all, and it just gave me good vibes for what’s to come!
Bow chick a wow wowwwwwwwwwww
Ok hmmmm what to do with a stubborn, bossy, rude, crude and overall alpha MC Prez, simple take no prisoners, have a fine knife throwing hand oh and a streak of stubbornness and sass. Kinsey is everything he wasn’t looking for and yet she’s everything he needs. Action, destruction, bad dudes with evil intentions are just orchestral background music as these two go head to head and fall straight into their unique happily ever after. Great contribution to the Royal Bastards MC world Esther, awesome!!!
** spoiler alert ** A little kink goes a long way! I loved how Kinsey despite being scared, really held her ground and showed she had a backbone. I loved slowly watching Petros change his way of thinking and being determined not to give her up. Good read!
I finished this book days ago but didn’t know what to say. I still don’t really know what to say about this book except WOW! I absolutely loved it!! I really hope Esther E Schmidt writes more from this world! I fell in love with many of the members from the Lincoln, NE chapter!
Let me be honest here, this author has never let me down in a story and this is no exception. I LOVED everything about this story; the characters, the action, the het, the plot… EVERYTHING.
While the story sound like your typical “hostage for debt” story it is anything but just that. The characters of Kinsey (who I know have a girl crush on) and Petros (who I want as my book husband) just off the page in their detail and real-ness. The tension and passion are equally addictive. I didn’t know what I wanted more of, the action with the MC, the development of the relationship, the growth of the characters or the pure heat between them!
I don’t often re-read stories but this one will be one that I revisit time and time again. I couldn’t help but fall in love with BOTH characters, such a rarity for me. I had the extreme pleasure of receiving an ARC and am leaving an honest review.
Loved Kinsey and Petros story. Every man needs a strong woman and Kinsey fits right into what Petros needed. She just melted this ice-cold heart and made him love and respect her. She fit right in with the brother too and gained the respect and loyalty. I hope Esther or the other authors in the RBMC world writes about Helix and Blake, those two needed their story told, please.
Everything you come to expect from Esther E. Schmidt and more is what you get when you read this book. What I love most about Ms. Schmidt’s books is that you get exactly what you want in a book, if those things are the same things that I like in a book . She get’s right to the point in her books. She doesn’t flood the pages with what I call needless commentary; things that I don’t care about like what the wall’s look like and how they match whatever. Her descriptions are to the point and that goes for her characters as well. She doesn’t throw in words just to extend the book, she gives you what you need, how you need it and when you need it and in just the right doses. This book is no exception. What you get is page turning action, hot flash inducing love scenes, a story line that is both intriguing and edge of your seat exciting, and characters that capture your attention as well as your heart and make you wish you were friends with them.
Petros is 100% alpha biker, silver fox and does not want or need a woman in his life; been there, done that, burned the t-shirt! What he is, is determined to get the money his club is owed by forcing the hand of the man who owes them. Taking Kinsley was easy, letting her go won’t be.
Kinsley’s whole world imploded in one day, leaving her reeling and shooting tequila to numb the pain. She needs a distraction for a little while and hiring a male stripper sounded like a good idea. Now sober, she’s knows the men from the night before aren’t strippers, but who are they and why is she in the hot man’s bed?
I loved Kinsley and her sharp tongue, show no fear attitude and the way she took everything that was thrown at her. Her inner strength was wonderful to see and her story made for a great read. I especially loved her “hobby”.
All in all, what you get with this book is a to the point, quick and satisfying read that definitely pulls you out of your reading funk. Just a dose of Esther E. Schmidt is just what the book doctor ordered. Great read and I highly recommend it. Get your dose of Petros today!
Petros is written by the talented Esther E. Schmidt for The Royal Bastards MC World. Just finish last night reading this awesome story from one of my go to authors and as always she didn’t disappoint. A must read, enjoy the ride!!!! This is Petros & Kinsey’s story! I didn’t expect to love a character so much after hating him at the beginning of the book. Petros is the president of Royal Bastards MC, Lincoln, Nebraska Chapter and a conceited, threatening HOT ALPHA Biker! Kinsey’s a beautiful, smart, ballsy gal who can throw knives but living unhappy and brokenhearted after loosing her mother. Loved the banter and chemistry between the two of them, they are made for each other. The plot is fast paced, thrilling and had all you want in an MC romance story. Can’t wait to read more stories from the MC brothers, like Helix or Blake’s..
