Dark and Gritty
This author doesn't pull any punches so if the demented world of these one percenters are more than you can handle...don't pick it up. BUT if you are like me and love MC's that are hard driving, hard living alphas you need to read this quick book that kept me turning page after page because I just couldn't put it down.
Heavy had saved Dani seven years ago from the hands of his very own father who at that time was the club's prez. A lot has changed in those seven years and now Heavy ...more

The Heavy Crown in a fun and entertaining, quick read. The storyline is easy to follow. The characters are great and easy to like. And the book is over all, very well written. Heavy and Dani take us on a journey filled with hate, love, and the unexpected. This book will kee you flipping pages to find out how it all ends.🖤🖤
The Heavy Crown MC-Washington DC by Linny Lawless is dark, edgy, gritty and brutal at best. This story is about Heavy and Dani and what transpired 7 years ago when he saved her from his father who at the time was President of the Royal Bastards MC - Washington DC chapter who is savagely violent. When Heavy saw Dani the first time she arrived at a club party with her friend he was struck by her beauty but knew this innocent did not belong in this club with these rough men. Now Heavy has to get Da

Why all the high ratings????
Plot: D
Characters: F
Heat: F
There wasn't much to the plot. It kind had promise, but the execution left something to be desired. I knew going in this was supposed to be dark, but it was really just grotesque. Almost like the author was trying to shock us. Dani was sexually assaulted, off page. However there is a brutal assault on a secondary villain in the story. It was already gruesome, but to me it had, to me, fetishized racial undertones that I found distasteful.

Dang! What I love first and foremost about this story is how raw and real it feels. There is no cuteness, no sugary sweetness. If there was ever an author or MC story that read real, authentic this author, this book is it.
I really enjoyed reading about Heavy and Dani. They really fit together in that "they were a challenge for each other," way. Heavy is a gruff character who was raised hard so he is hard. I liked this balance of care for Dani and his commitment and loyalty to his club. Dani was ...more

This book was okay. Not good or bad but just okay. It wasn't what it was about that I had a problem with but the writing. It didn't flow is the best I can describe. I didn't feel what was going on but it was like someone telling a story without emotions. Lackluster.
Heavy at the beginning of the book saved Dani by sending her away. She had a bad home life and was running away. His club was bad but his dad the president was even worse. She came back seven years later and Heavy, now president saves ...more

*First time reading Linny Lawless
I was so intrigued by the very beginning of this book I was reading and reading and then I was just scratching my head. Instead of a nice flowing story, I feel like I have read two different books here. The beginning was great I loved Heavy he seemed to be such a great guy for an MC but then Heavy and Danika meet up again and it is like a totally different story. I am not big on the whole porn storyline that some of the authors took, but I have to say Linny didn' ...more

No rating - DNF. There was an avalanche of things I disliked about this. The club, the H, the sex. I’ve tried this author many times and I guess she’s just not for me.
Hmm
This book started really great and then fell flat. The last half of the book just felt rushed to me. I wanted more information about things than just a sentence or two that advanced the story.

Dark MC read
I read this via my kindle unlimited subscription and am leaving my review voluntarily. This is part of the multi author Royal Bastards Series and while you could read this as a standalone, it's helpful to start from the beginning. This is a dark, twisted MC story with triggers. It is NOT a happy Hallmark love story.
**triggers**
dub-con, unprotected sex, rape & murder off scene, talk of sex trafficking, drug use

However, it may be sooner than either Trick or Heavy are aware of. Trick is a ruthless man who

Woah Nelly - is this ever a dark, ballsy MC Ride. When the story begins, Heavy is the current Prez’s son and trust me when I say he detests his father and his actions. Heavy is a take charge guy and devoted to his club and brothers but he hates his father's methods. He meets Dani when she is an 18 year old runaway who if his father has his way, will be sold to the Russians. Heavy is attracted to her and they spend one night together before he buys her a bus ticket and tells her to never come bac

This is the second book in the series that I've DNF and I'm starting to realise that it's a series filled with hit or misses; this falling under misses.
I understand that each book is based in different cities/states, written by a different author and that each story is going to be different from the last or next. However what I don't understand, nor do I appreciate is how the core foundation of the MC isn't consistent in every book; I expect that at the very least! This was a massive ...more

Another great read from Ms. Lawless. It’s a dark and gritty story about two misfits who try to survive.

Wow, for anyone who are familiar with Linny Lawless and Elizabeth Knox and the Royal Bastards will have had a glimpse of Heavy in Cobalt and Bet On Me.
This is his and Danika's story and it's not pretty.
Heavy first met Dani when she ran away from home and ended up at one of The Bastards party, he knew she was in his dads sights and so got her on a bus leaving town, within a year he had ousted his dad as Prez.

Intense. Hardcore. Sex, drugs and cash galore. We meet Dani first who, like too many other girls, has a horror show for a childhood. So much so that she immediately escapes when she turns eighteen. That very night she meets Heavy and he saves her life. Then he puts her on a bus, hoping she never returns. Seven years later, they are in the same place only Heavy is President of the Washington DC chapter now. Now, there is nothing and no one that can keep Heavy from owning this girl; body, heart, a

I enjoyed The Heavy Crown tremendously. It is very fast paced and you will not want to put it down. Although it’s connected to the Royal Bastards series it can be read as a stand alone. It does reference some things that happened in some other books in the series but the author tied it in so that you get the important details so you are not confused about what happened. What I did like is that there is no slow build up like some other books where the author talks so much about background and wha

Although a good story and plot, I have to say this felt a bit rushed, the content skimmed down so you don't get the full details of what's going on. You lose the depth with each scene, be it a fight scene or conversation. It is such a shame because I have loved all these books, i like getting fully involved in my reading and just felt I couldn't do it with this. I can't explain it more clearly without going into detail and giving spoilers which I don't want to do. If you don't mind a story that

The Heavy Crown is a little intense, a lot hot, and such a good read.
Dani runs away from a traumatic past and finds help in an unexpected place. Heavy is the kind of alpha that is hard to love and rough around the edges. Dani and Heavy's lives come back full circle and the progression of these two characters is intriguing to watch.
By the end of Heavy Crown, I appreciated Heavy and am glad he was worthy of a girl like Dani.

The book carries a warning that it may contain triggers. A few books do this and sometimes I don't actually notice them, I did in this.
I found this quite disturbing in parts and at first I couldn't find anything likeable about the lead characters, however the required change that they must go through meant that suddenly I felt more invested in them and a happy ending.

This book has made it as one of my favorites by Linny Lawless. It's impossible to not be wrapped up immediately in this book. Once the story begins to unfold, it's fast and keeps your wanting to know more.
This is an intense, gripping and enthralling love story, with a lot of twists and turns that you can't begin to imagine. It's full of unconditional love based on a past shared experience, one that has broken their hearts and souls but that themselves can mend, and subsequently heal each other.

The Heavy Crown: Washington, DC Chapter by Linny Lawless is a Motorcycle Club Romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Rodney Falcon. This is the first book in the Royal Bastards MC Series.
Linny’s books always leave me begging for more. This story is fast paced and does have an insta-love connection between Heavy and Danika.

This book is intense, gritty and hardcore and I absolutely loved every minute of it!! Heavy has made an appearance in this author’s previous book, Cobalt, so he is a familiar character. We actually meet Danika first and like a lot of girls she has had a pretty messed up home life and ran away. She ends up at a Royal Bastards’ MC party where Heavy actually saves her life. Heavy then put her on the bus hoping to never cross paths with her again but everything is not meant to be and they come full
