She was the good girl who had it all…from the outside.He was the poor boy who barely got out alive.In a town where the elite take care of their own, and more lies get uncovered, these two will need more than grit to survive when fate brings them back together. Palmer had it all except what she truly desired… she came from money, but she learned early money didn’t buy you, love or class. What it … except what she truly desired… she came from money, but she learned early money didn’t buy you, love or class. What it did was buy you silence and fear.
Keys left the sleepy little town he’d grown up a boy… they say you can never go back home once you leave. For Keys, he never planned to step one foot back into the town he’d grown up in, a place he’d had any sense of love beat out of him.
It only takes one message to change the course of two lives… when you find out your entire life was a lie; you have a couple of choices. Head into the lions’ den and face your past like a man or let sleeping dogs lie. Keys was never one to run from his past, at least not once he got big enough, bad enough, and smart enough to make a stand. Palmer didn’t realize she’d stir up a hornet’s nest of epic proportions, when she located the only man who’d ever made her feel safe. Now both their lives were in danger, yet she couldn’t deny she still felt more than she had in years. If only they could live long enough to see if fate would allow them a chance this time around.

I loved this look at Keys history and the way it pops back up into his life.
This is a great look at the dynamic between the Royal Bastards MC Clubs. I loved how the story flowed and it was a one sitting read!
Keys and Palmer were sparking from when they were kids and to have them together as adults was explosive. Can’t wait for the next story in the series.
Royally Broken, how apropos. That was Key’s whole life, growing up on the wrong side of town cinched it. The throw away kid. Yet somehow he not only survived it, he left it in a cloud of dust, as fast as his legs could carry him, away from torment, away from temptation. I wish I could say he overcame it all, but life is never that pat, I’m dripping tears at this point as I write this.
He joined the Navy, became the best of the best, a fighting machine to make Uncle Sam so proud, until one day it all went FUBAR. His body now broken, they tried to break his mind. No one understood he’d left all his give a cares, that same day he’d left that dirty, unforgiving town in Missouri.
Up until he’d received that email, he thought he’d made a new life for himself, Keys, Royal Sons Chapter, Royal Bastards MC, the only family he has or needs.
Palmer, the golden haired, blue eyed princess, granddaughter to PopPop and MeMaw, until she finds herself sold to the very devil himself. Princesses’ lives shouldn’t turn into horror filled existences, and she had her sweet baby, Jaxson, to take care of now. She never forgot that beautiful, tortured boy who left her, and she had no one else to turn to, really.
So it begins anew, back in Lionsville, Missouri, the son comes home. But he’s not the same, and he’s got family, whether he truly believed it before he does now, and we get to see appearances by so many of his brothers, who’ve always had his back and always will. These MC’s are what your mama told you to stay away from. Maybe mama … wasn’t always right.
I loved this read, full of ALL the feels, gritty, yet so sweet and hot, sad and so spittin mad I want to go hunting. Yes, I totally got into this from the Prologue to the last, sexy, happily riding into the sunset page (going west to California in a cage with precious cargo). One Hell of a journey!
Stand alone with its own HEA, yet a part of the whole big world of Royal Bastards. Book 5 of the Royal Sons series.
Royally Broken is the next book in Elle Boon’s Royal Sons MC series. Keys is the quiet computer nerd with a dangerous background, and an absolutely tragic and sad childhood. Palmer grew up in what seemed to be the ‘picture perfect family’. But this picture has more than a thousand words that are not to be spoken to the outside world. This was not your typical boy meets girl, boy and girl come together and drift apart story, only to come together at a later time, this was so much more. The story took so many surprising twists and turns that I just when I thought I knew what was next, NOT! By the end of the book I was left speechless after all the dirty, dirty secrets were revealed and the consequences for wrong doing were paid. The wow factor in this book was multiplied by 1000. As always, in all Elle Boon’s books, this book has alpha, badass, bad boys with a heart of gold and sassy, strong heroines that fight hard for the people they love. Throw in some well placed humor and side kicks that make you smile, you have the perfect mix for a 5 start read. If you want a read the will have you on the edge of your seat to find out what’s next, and fanning yourself from the heat of passions then this book should be the next on your TBR List.
HOLY COW this was amazing!! Once you get started, the pace doesn’t let up and you can’t just put it down. Keys is heading back to the one place he never planned on seeing again. Palmer is amazing and I love her sassy-ness. I love Elle Boon’s books, everyone is better than the last. They sometimes deal with some tough subjects, but she does it in the best way. Can’t get enough of her books!
Keys and Palmer…. Keys has a past that is better left dead as it has nothing to offer his new life. Palmer a woman that seems to have it all but are appearances deceiving. Keys is a man who turned his hellish upbringing to fuel he needed to become the best version of Keys. Palmer ends up in the presence of the worst of the worst, so she seeks the little boy lost when she has a son of her own and no other option, an email will spin Keys axis to destinations long forgotten. I came in late to this series, but Elle has made a spot in my heart for all these MC Males and they are amazing males dark and mysterious. A perfect mix of sexy, brooding, good, and bad. I could go on, but I do not want to tell the whole story you need to read it for yourself and I definitely recommend that you do.
Keys and Palmer grew up in the same town. He tried to keep his distance because he knew he was leaving as soon as he graduated. They didn’t keep in touch until she reached out some years later. Once they came back together things progressed very fast, but will a sinister plot tear them apart? Will they both survive the coming danger? I really like how protective Keys is towards those he cares about, and I like how Palmer took control of her life. Overall I really enjoyed this story.
Keys and Palmer and Jaxson are what people should aspire to be. This book has everything. A definite do not miss. I Love the Royal Bastards.
I have been waiting for Keys’ story since he was introduced in book one. Was not disappointed in the least. Keys and Palmer are perfect for one another, I loved Palmer’s sass and how protective she is with her son Jaxson. Keys might be a big bad biker and former SEAL but he is a teddy bear when it comes to Palmer and Jaxson.
Keys get a cryptic email from Palmer and he runs off to the one place he promised he would never go back to his hometown of Lionsville. Keys may finally get the answers of who is parents were and finally get the one woman he has never forgotten to be his!
There are many different elements to this story, second chance love, retribution, a bit of mystery, lots of steamy hot melt your kindle moments and a little boy nicknamed Hoss who will steal your heart! Of course we can’t forget this is an MC story so expect MC justice at its finest!
I was given an advanced reader copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed.
Royally Broken is Key’s story and aptly named. They say you can never go back, but he receives an email from the one person he could not forget, Palmer. These two finally reconnect, but the secrets horrors that surrounded the small town come to the forefront. To save Palmer and her son, Key’s will need the help of his MC brothers to clean up the town and end the danger.
Climb into this story and hold on for the journey with the Royal Sons MC-CA chapter / Royal Bastards MC series. It is worth every word you read and every page you turn.
A received an ACR of this story, but I loved it so much I also bought it. I left this review voluntarily. Enjoy this story.
Keys had a bad childhood, growing up without know who his parents are and being abused by his caretakers. Palmer was the town princess with her grandfather being the town mayor. Keys leaves town joins the military and ends up having a good life with a MC. Palmer was told to marry a local man by her grandfather, which she did but things didn’t turn out how she thought. When her husband dies she reaches out to find Keys to help her, who she always had a crush on growing up. DO they find happiness at the end of all the weird stuff that has been going on in that little town. It is a very well written and you need to read to find out.
Keys left his hometown of Lionsville when he was 18 years old and he never looked back. He has a good life now, making money for, and helping out, his brothers in the Royal Sons MC – CA chapter. He doesn’t have time for the past…until he receives an email from the girl he left behind – but never forgot.
Growing up, Palmer was the golden girl. Her PopPop gave her everything she wanted…except the boy who left her behind. Now she is all grown up and her life is far from golden. She and her son need help and the only person she can think to contact may not want to hear from her.
Lionsville is hiding some really deep, dark secrets. Things that have been going on for years and years. Keys is determined to take care of Palmer, but it’ll take help from his MC brothers to expose the darkness and put an end to the danger so that he can claim Palmer and Hoss baby for his own.
Excellent addition to the Royal Sons MC -CA chapter/ Royal Bastards MC series.
I absolutely love this series! Keys is a man on a mission. Find the girl he left behind, find who his parents are, and destroy everything that tries to stop him. Palmer was the good girl of the mayor who doesn’t go against the rules. She marries the man her grandfather picked not knowing he was a monster. When everything is brought to light this town will never be the same. Keys is going to burn this whole town down to make sure the girl who holds his heart is safe.
Oh lord, I love Keys. He is an amazing character. He’s a total badass and protective alpha man, who will do all he needs to do to protect what he feels is his and Palmer and Jaxson(Hoss) are his. Palmer has suffered a lot with her no good husband and when she becomes a widow, she contacts the one person who she feels can help her “Keys”. When trouble comes a calling Keys calls in the Royal Bastards to hell keep his family safe.
Keys isn’t looking for love but then he sees her. She needed helps and wasn’t all all that sure about the biker. But will they be able to survive the dangers? Will Keys get any better at being a parent to her little guy? Wonderful read and look forward to more. A must read.
Totally committed.
Keys and Palmer grew up together in small town USA. Key’s upbringing was horrific but he found the Sons after his stint in the service. He’s ready to go lone wolf when he receives an email from Palmer, someone who he thought he’d never see again. That email sets off a chain of events that will roll you along a twisty and turny plot created by Ms. Boon. Hang on tight.
Some memorable lines “I’ll bear all the weight, take all the burden, until I see you again. For even death won’t take me away from you.” I want more than one night with you. I want all your nights and days for however long you’ll have me.” “I didn’t realize I was here, waiting for you to come back, to lift me up and be my other half.”
Dragan and Katana are hilarious.
I received this advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
Keys, has to visit last place on Earth, place where he grew up.
He has to help Palmer, even if he end up dead.
This story is wonderful, Keys and Palmer are awesome.
Loved meeting other characters.
Another amazing story by Elle.
Loved it! Keys is awesome! I loved him! Palmer is strong but in a quiet way. Definitely liked her a lot and she fits so well with Keys. The story is fast and fantastic! I finished it last night and was so sad when it was over. I love Elle’s books!
Keys and Palmer got their hands full with her son and drama from the town and his brothers jumps in to help clean it up
I have been waiting for Key’s story.
Keys is a man who has always been in the run. A man who excaped his past and has no plan on looking back. However, it takes one message from the only person who had ever been nice to him growing up and he’s headed back to his version of hell.
Palmer is a woman who had been sheltered most of her life until she was thrown to the lion. She is looking to start again and yet still being held down by the person who use to mean everything to her. Now she is hoping that Keys can help.
This book was wonderfully twisted. What Keys had to deal with as a child and the things going on around Palmer without her knowing was hard to read. This made you root for this couple even more.
I loved the reunion between Palmer and Keys but I have to say, I especially loved Keys reaction to Palmer’s little guy. I loved the nickname he gives him and claims him as his own immediately.
Royally Broken is Keys’ story and is perfectly titled. I’ve wanted Keys story for so long and I wasn’t disappointed. His book created a gamut of emotions for me. The first 18 years of his life were just horrible and his only bright spot was his only friend Palmer. After he left to join the Military, Palmer’s life ended up not being so great either. After several years they reconnected and the secrets and horrors that surrounded the small town they grew up in were brought to the forefront. The Royal Bastards come out to play and unearthed things you can’t even believe. As always Elle Boons imagination takes us on an incredible journey with Keys, Palmer and the rest of the Bastards.
