Malik Dawson – better known to his brothers as Wick; The Vice President of The Kings of Retribution MC, Louisiana Chapter. He lives for his club. The unity and loyalty of the brotherhood give him a sense of purpose and belonging he felt he was missing after years of serving his country.But all men have their demons, and Wick carries the pain and guilt of losing his childhood friend; the friend he … friend he feels he did not protect as they fought side by side in combat. Before he died, Damien made him promise to always be there for his little sister, Vayda; look after her and protect her if something were to ever happen to him.
Following through on a vow made years ago, Wick watches over his fallen comrade’s sister.
Then one night, he kisses her, and he no longer sees her as his friend’s kid sister. She becomes so much more.
It should never have happened. That’s what he keeps telling himself.
Wick becomes torn between what he wants and the promise he made to his friend years ago. Distancing himself, Wick avoids the overwhelming need to claim her and make Vayda his.
When a rescue mission is compromised, and Vayda’s life is on the line, Wick holds nothing back. He sets out on a mission of his own to find her—killing anyone who gets in the way.
Vayda Wilder—aka—Tequila, comes from a long line of military service members: Grandfather, Father, and big brother, Damien. All her life, she dreamed of becoming a United States Air Force pilot. Chasing her dreams, Vayda enlists straight out of high school, becoming the best soldier and pilot she could be.
A few years later, her brother’s death left her devastated. Damien was Vayda’s hero and the one person who she felt truly understood her.
With years of experience, Vayda starts taking on secret covert missions and saving countless lives from the evil grip of human traffickers. Soon her assignments begin crossing paths with her brother’s best friend, Malik.
One unforgettable kiss changes everything—yet it doesn’t.
Malik becomes distant—treating her like she no longer exists.
Burying herself deep in mercenary work helps take her mind off the man she wants until she finds herself captured by the Cartel.
Fighting for his woman, Malik, and The Kings of Retribution become Vayda’s only hope of making it out alive.

Malik “Wick” is doing what he feels he needs to protect his bestfriends little sister Vayda “Tequila” but how does he protect her from himself when she is all he wants. I love this MC family and all their antics I love reading this pair of authors they keep me on my toes. Great story with amazing characters.
Malik/wick wow. Loved getting his story. And I knew it would be hot after all the tension between him and vayda/tequila. Love how badass she is and how she is apart of the world they all know and love. And that the MC respects and acknowledges her. Wow so much guilt on maliks shoulders. So glad he finally got his woman and HEA. Learning about Sydney Was crazy! So much was dredged up. Lots of emotion. And as usual lots of craziness. Can’t wait for more.
A nonstop action packed, suspenseful and heart melting ride to go on. A definite page turner that kept me on the edge of my seat. Amongst all the chaos this is a beautiful story about two people who have loved and cared for one another for years, finding that their admiration runs so much deeper- leading them to their happily ever after. I absolutely adored this book.
Wick by Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez is the second book in the Kings of Retribution MC , Louisiana Chapter series. Well written, entertaining, interesting…. this book is a best friend’s sister romance that shows true love can overvome so much. I love the characters and their story. Action, suspense, emotion, and steam…. and I loved every page.
Five huge stars! Loving this Chapter of The Kings! Badass and ready to protect what is theirs without a second thought!
Wicks had been living with the guilt that he didn’t do enough to protect his best friend in the field whilst on active duty. He is in love with his best friend’s sister but doesn’t feel he deserves Tequila.
But when shit goes South he is not going to wait another day! My heart!i!
I think I have put that in every review, but holy shit! These authors just take my heart with these characters!!
I’ve been reading non-stop these last couple of weeks and even though I’m so freaking tired a can’t stop.
I can’t rest and think that I have a book waiting to be devoured. I can’t. And knowing that the fantastic duo has another book… Guess what? I needed to start reading it asap.
There was only one problem… Wanna know what that problem was?
It was midnight by the time I started reading and guess what time I went to bed?
That’s right. I barely slept and I have no regrets. Lol.
I looked like those kids that say “I’m not tired” and could barely keep their eyes open.
Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez are two queens for the MC writing. Their writing completes each other and will make you scream, curse, shout… You name it.
You’ll be a mess. In a good way, of course.
Wick is their latest release and it’s the second book from the Kings of Retribution Louisiana chapter.
But I must alert you to something first. For me, it’s imperative that you start reading The Kings of Retribution, the mother chapter, and only then start this series. You won’t regret it. But, if you don’t have time to read the other books, read Riggs first and then read this one.
This new book explores the lives of Wick and Tequila.
Wick is one of the brothers. His life turns around protecting his brothers and his bar.
After his time in the military ended, and witnessing his best friend murder he knows that he needed to get out. To live his life…
Tequila is a badass. She looks though on the outside but on the inside she’s broken. Not only had she lost her brother in the war but she had also seen the man she loved flew away. Being in the military can change a person but love can destroy you.
Oh. My. Freaking. God…
This book… Oh boy. I’m speechless. Stunned.
This book just made my night. It was the perfect story to lighten up my heart.
Sublime plot, very well written, super engaging and intense. It was chapter after chapter without flaws. Without a great scene. Each scene was even more snagging and I couldn’t stop.
Once I started to read it I couldn’t put it down. I was so into the story that I couldn’t pay attention to my surroundings.
Great chemistry these two shares and their stubbornness almost got the best of them.
The hot scenes were breathless but the action scenes made me shake.
I’m so in love with this series that I’m struggling to not spoil.
Crystal and Sandy… What can I say? I nailed it again and I’m so honored for the chance to read it.
OK girls… Now spill it. What’s next? Nova? Kiwi?
Please let it be Nova.I voluntarily read an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I am not sure what the element that takes it to the next level but the emotions are seeping through the pages. Great story, love the history between the two and the characters are phenomenal. As always love to see the boys from the past but wick definitely is in a class of his own!
*WARNING* contains sexual content, cursing, and violence
This story felt heavy. There was just so much being packed into this story it became tedious. Some if the connections felt forced. Some parts weren’t needed at all. This one wasn’t for me, so I’ll skip this series.
Wow, Tequila & Wick, two badass people that found their way to each other & conquered the storm.
Vayda or Tequila as she’s known, is definitely the most badass female character these two ladies have created, she has spunk, class, & can definitely hang with the boys. And Wick or Malik, what more can be said about this broody man who literally bought this woman the house of her dreams. Major swoon. I loved this story, it fit in perfect with this MC family, but packs it’s own punch. You do not want to miss This story.
Together Wick & tequila make the perfect badass couple!!
And that letter from Damien, omg, the feels galore, I so cried while reading it, but so worth it. Amazing writing & amazing journey these ladies always take us on. Until the next chapter!!

Wick was the second book of the Kings of Retribution MC, Louisiana by the authors Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels.
We met Malik “Wick” Dawson previously as a patched member and former military, totally alpha, badass. We learned that he watched his childhood best friend die in combat and now lived with a never ending supply of guilt. He had promised him he would always take care of his little sister, Vayda, but that proved difficult.
Vayda “Tequila” Wilder was a badass in her own right. As a former Air Force pilot, she currently worked on secret rescue missions. Her life frequently crossed paths with the MC, thus running into her longtime crush Malik often.
Wick and Tequila had a longtime history. Their chemistry was off the charts but Wick refused to acknowledge it, letting the pain and guilt from Damien’s death rule him. The authors took us through the struggles between Wick and Tequila while also taking us through several suspenseful secondary plots that ultimately came full circle in the end.
All in all, it was a quick and intriguing read. I enjoyed both characters as well as the suspenseful plot. As always, the MC was front and center demonstrating their loyalty, humor and fun. There are still so many MC members who need their forever love and I can’t wait to see where the authors take us next.
Wick and Tequilas story is action packed pretty much from beginning to end. The club has some run ins with old and new enemies which test their strength and patience. Although Wick and Tequila have a very long history together that will bond them forever, they go through some turmoil before Wick finally comes to his senses and claims his woman.
Wick is the definition of alpha male while Tequila is an alpha female making her a fierce ol’ lady. Together they are the ultimate alpha pair. Neither back down from a challenge and they are both a lethal combination. They are one couple you don’t want to mess with. Together and with the club they can take on the world.
Malik and Vayda have known each other since they were kids. This MC romance was fast and full with lots of actions. It was entertaining and hot.
I couldn’t be happier that we have returned to the New Orleans chapter of the Kings! I gotta confess these guys have stolen my heart. Wick has always loved Vayda but would never go there. She is his best friend’s little sister and Wick is the reason her brother didn’t come home. Vayda is one tough chick but she is tired of loving Wick without getting anything in return. When a mission of hers goes south, Wick doesn’t hesitate to go and get her back. Even though he has fought his feelings and surrendered to his guilt for so long, he realizes this is chance to finally have Vayda in his life and his bed. I absolutely loved how this all played out! Wick and Vayda are simply made for one another. I wasn’t ready for it to end but these ladies wrapped it up perfectly, as usual. Cannot wait for more Kings!
Every book in this series just keeps getting better! I love the Kings and their ladies, and Wick and Tequila are no exception. Tequila is an absolute fierce B.A. of a woman and Wick is all man inside and out. She is full of fire and he knows just how to tame her. They are perfect compliments of each other. Crystal and Sandy did a great job bringing out the emotions in this book. I laughed, I cried, my heart raced with anticipation. I was captivated by this book from the very beginning. I also love the fact that Sandy and Crystal slipped the Knight Warriors and East of Eden in this book as well. It creates a meatier story line when side characters continue to appear through a series. I only wish to find out more about what eventually happens with Sydney.
Amazing Read… This series just keeps blowing me away. The authors have such a way with words that make the storylines flow and come to life. I felt like I was right there feeling all the action and excitement right along with the main and secondary characters.
Wick is an amazing character. He is a good man, an ex-military man, who is riddled with guilt for the death of his best friend while taking on enemy fire. No matter how displaced it is, he still blames himself and thinks he should of been the one to die that day. To make his tormole worse, Wick promised his friend he would keep watch over his little sister, Vayda, an Air Force helicopter pilot often used for rescue missions. Wick has secretly loved Vayda for years and vica versa. But his guilt won’t let him take that next step. Even after one electric kiss he still keeps his distance. But when a stealth mission goes sideways and Vayda is captured, all bets are off. Will Vayda finally get the man of her dreams or will Wick’s guilt finally pull him under.
This is a very emotional, passionate storyline that is filled with action and excitement. I highly recommend gabbing up Wick and Vayda’s journey, well to be honest, all the Kings of Retribution books, you won’t be sorry you did. To the authors I say Kudos for a job well done and I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars.
WOW! Wick and Tequila’s story is definitely by far the BEST story in the spin-off The Kings Of Retribution MC: Lousiana Chapter!!
Both of these talented ladies have this magnetic pull when you start any of their books, you just have to keep going to see what’s going to happen with all the guys in the series!
While I was reading, I cried about three times!! Both Ms. Daniels and Ms. Alvarez have this way of making readers feel like these characters are real people, people we could possibly know or come across in our daily lives. Or make us feel like we are the characters themselves, at least that’s how it feels for me. This is one of the best MC books/series I’ve had the opportunity to read!!
Loved this book. From the start your emotions will start, and continue through out this story. Can’t wait for the next book in this series.
If you think that this is going to be a smooth ride you are quite mistaken. This book will take you on a seriously emotional ride, I mean all of the emotions that these characters carry you will feel. From the guilt of a man who has been through war and losing his best friend, to the love he feels for that man’s sister. All of their pain, joy, love, fear will hit you head on and will not let you surface until you reach the end.
The action and the passion that is found between the pages of this book is off the charts and will not disappoint readers who love MC reads.
The characters are extremely well written and complex. Wick is strong, loyal to a fault and hot as can be. Vayda, the sister to Wick’s best friend, is an amazing character. She is strong, fierce and a knockout; and she holds Wick’s broken heart.
An outstanding read and addition to this series and I highly recommend you get this book/series! Absolutely outstanding, but then of course, every book that these authors put out is outstanding in my opinion. I haven’t read one yet that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. 10 stars if I could!
