Kings of the Castle #5
King of Morgan Park
Two things threaten to destroy several areas of Daron Kincaid’s life—the tracking device he developed to locate victims of sex trafficking and an inherited membership in a mysterious outfit called The Castle. The new developments set the stage to dismantle the relationship with Cameron, the woman he loves, as well as the new life he’s building outside of an Interpol and FBI sting that brought down his former enemies. Coming out of the shadows could have dangerous consequences that affect everyone around him.
Marquise Sinclair, a crime boss over an international theft ring, is determined to take Daron’s position in the Castle by leveraging Cameron’s life against a project worth billions. Unfortunately, he is unaware that his lovely target was fiercely trained to make men weak or put them on the wrong side of the grave. The secrets Daron keeps from Cameron and his inner circle only complicates an already tumultuous situation that wasn’t of his own making.
Can Daron take on Marquise, manage his secrets and loyalty to the Castle without permanently losing the woman he loves?? National Bestselling Author, Karen D. Bradley gives you Book 5 of the Kings of the Castle Standalone Series, featuring Daron Kincaid.

King of Morgan Park by bestselling author, Karen D. Bradley, is book five of the nine book Kings of the Castle series penned by various female authors. Book one, Kings of the Castle is an introduction to all of the Kings, with emphasis on Vikkas Germaine. Books two through nine are standalones with no cliffhangers and can be read in any order, though I’m reading them in sequence.
Nine former students of Khalil Germaine, now Kings of The Castle, are recruited by their mentor to root out and eliminate the corruption that has infiltrated The Castle, initially a humanitarian endeavor. They vow to protect The Castle and each other from future attacks, while searching for the person or persons responsible for the attempted assassination of their mentor, Khalil, and his son, Vikkas. Along the way they meet some extraordinary women. This is Daron Kincaid’s story.
Daron Kincaid is the only king who didn’t attend Macro International Magnet School run by mentor, Khalil Germaine, though he did qualify and was selected for the program. Daron’s Castle membership and position as a king are inherited.
Daron is a part Filipino inventor and security specialist. He owns and runs a security firm, Crossroads Security, and utilizes his chosen field and his new position as a king to improve security at the Castle. He invents innovative new technology, including a tracking device used to locate women being trafficked. His protective tendencies extend to his girlfriend, Cameron. Daron loves her but keeps secrets that cost him her trust.
Marquise Sinclair is an international crime boss seeking to take Daron’s position with the new Castle Kings to increase his power in the criminal world. Marquise thinks the quickest way to get Daron’s seat is through Cameron, Daron’s girlfriend. That is a major miscalculation.
Cameron Stone is beautiful but deadly. She can use her feminine wiles or her extensive training to take down any man who makes the mistake of thinking her weak. Cameron finds herself caught between two men. One wants to use her as leverage against the other. Can she defeat one and capture the heart of the other?
King of Morgan Park is another masterful addition to the Kings of the Castle series. Bradley has brought her characters to life. There are more than a few secondary characters, but the story still flows smoothly. Once again, my attention was held from start to finish. The plot features multiple destructive secrets and provides an adrenaline rush. The author maintains the extraordinary continuity, evidenced throughout the series thus far.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and give it 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys multicultural romantic suspense or well-written contemporary romance. There is some sexual content that may not be suitable for all readers.
My thanks to Independent Publishers Group and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. However, the opinions expressed in this review are 100% mine and mine alone.

It's been a wee while since I read a Kings of the Castle series, so was scrolling through my kindle and came to King of Morgan Park by Karen D. Bradley. I have to admit, I wasn't feeling the same love of the Castle members in this book and if it hadn't featured some of the characters from the other books it wouldn't have felt like one either as the King of Morgan Park has been named and it is Daron Kincaid. Unlike the others, Daron didn't go to the same school as them but he did know Khali as he was his sort of mentor. The other different thing is that Daron inherited his seat at the table from Bishop who was a Crime Boss. We do have Daron's love interest as Cameron who was a former assassin/hitwoman and then we do have bad guys that are threatened by Daron and want him run to the ground, or better killed which again was similar to the other stories as Daron not only runs a security business but he also mentors young men to help them get away from the life of gangs and to set them on the right path by using their talents for good not evil. Overall, I did enjoy King of Morgan Park as it was good to be reunited with the other characters and familiarity of some storylines from the previous books in this series I have read but in saying that it just didn't have that same connection feel among the brotherhood aka the other Kings of the Castle.

REVIEW: 3.75stars—KING OF MORGAN PARK by Karen D Bradley is the fifth instalment in the multi-authored/ multi-cultural KINGS OF THE CASTLE romantic suspense series focusing on nine ‘brothers’ from the streets of Chicago (Vikkas, Reno, Shaz, Jai, Daron, Kaleb, Grant, Dro and Dwayne) mentored and taught by the mysterious Khalil Germaine at the exclusive Macro International Magnet School in Chicago. This is King of Morgan Park tech whiz Daron Kincaid, and Cameron Stone’s story line. KING OF MORGAN PARK can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the author’s TRANSITION OF POWER for backstory and cohesion, where Daron and Cameron’s story line begins.
NOTE: KING OF MORGAN PARK runs parallel to crosses over with several of the previous instalments in The Kings of the Castle series.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Cameron and Daron) KING OF MORGAN PARK follows Daron Kincaid as he struggles with his membership in The Castle, a position he ‘inherited’ from a former crime lord, a position coveted by Marquise Sinclair. Threats against his life, and that of the woman he loves finds Daron trying to protect Cameron Stone, a woman who is able to protect herself. The fall-out of Daron’s life and connections to crime push Cameron to the periphery where she refuses to become collateral damage.
KING OF MORGAN PARK is a fast paced, entertaining, well written and intriguing story line but in all honesty, I was confused throughout most of the story line as the author continues to build upon previous story lines bringing together several characters from her other stories and series including Mia and Calvin from The Confection Assignment. Many of the characters were unfamiliar -you have to have read the author’s Transition of Power in order to follow or understand several of the references to previous events. As well, The Kings of the Castle story line takes a back seat to the author’s previous stories and characters thusly feeling disconnected from the overall premise.

This book was good and kept you on the edge of your seat. I love the suspense and action. I would have love to seen this book as a movie. I loved the gadgets they used in this story and what lengths they went through to save the young people. This was my first time reading a book by this author and I am adding her to my author's list.

Love King is Morgan and his woman!
King of Morgan Park was an action packed, sweet and spicy story of Daron and Cameron. All kinds of suspense, action, high tech gadgets and a hot romance kept me on the edge of my sleep, or awake way to late reading. I loved that Cameron and Daron, despite their attraction to each other didn’t fall into the perfect love immediately. They had to work hard for their relationship, which made their story relatable. I also loved the strong, bad ass female lead. I wouldn’t mess with Cameron. She is the perfect match for Daron. This was a fun read, and like all of the other Kings stories, kept a flow tying in all of the necessary details of the others in the castle to keep me engaged. Very well written and an exciting fun read.
Though this is a stand-alone, I highly recommend starting with Kings of the Castle and reading each Kings story in order. I read them all out order. They are so expertly crafted and flow so well between each of the books, it’s hard to tell each is crafted by a different author. Very well done!

DNF
A wave of familiarity hit Daron as he bolted from the bed. The words I saw Levi Diesel kill a man had broken through Daron’s sleep haze. Weeks ago Katarta Johnson - one of his few clients- had called him early about her daughter tracy missing. This time the call came from one of three young men in his re-enrichment program. “ Mr Dee we’re in trouble” Amarion replied, his voice heavy with fear. “ Did he see you?” The last time he received an early morning call , he also got a text informing him Khalil. A man who had hired Daron’s security company-Crossroads Security- Khalil had been shot. Those two weeks had been subtly interrelated. Amarion said no but Midas may have. Darom asked where he was and Amarion said he kept moving that Levi had eyes all over Morgan Park. “ Can you make it to the kickback?” daron asked. The kickback was the code word they used to refer to the house where he conducted the re-enrichment program. When Amarion said yes daron told him he’d meet Amerion there and the door will be unlocked. Daron was dating Caeron and she asked if he needed backup. Daron said no he needs to get off Amarion off the streets and see what was going on. When Daron got to the house he asked Amarion what happened, Amarion said “ remember the story about the girl who went missing but was found with a tracker?” Daron said you mean Tracy Johnson? Daron had developed an earring tracking system to help combst Sex traffickig problems and to protect young woman. Women who tend to be alone a lot. For the safety of hos clients he was still utilizing the earrings. Daron developed a decoy device for Tracy’s mother when Taracy went missing.”Well Levi wanted the keychain tracker tracy’s mother was talking about on the news.” From what Amarion said Levi wanted to see if it was emitting any frequency or something. Steve was the man daron trusted with security and to gather intel and he sent Levi’s name. Amerion said he works for Marquise but he occasionally has Amerion . do jobs for Levi. it was about five minutes after he put the keychain where they had told him to- he stole it for Levi. He heard Levi arguing with a man and shot him. The other witness-Midas- was sneaking up to the crafting area from the back at the exact moment . Amerion was told he had to be taken out of the area and Daron would protect his mother. Amerion said it was his job to protect his mother. In two weeks, his mother was moving to be with his grandmother. Also Amerion had heard Levi talking about this new guy was causing him to lose money and he was talking about Daron. Daron wondered why Levi had a problem with him. He left Amarion at the kickback until he had talked to reese. Reese confirmed there was no whisper of Amerion on the streets.
I really couldn’t get into this book. It just didn’t hold my attention, and I read close to half. I am sure there are many readers who will love this. Just wasn’t for me.

King of Morgan Park is the fifth book in the King of the Castle series, and my first exciting read by Karen D. Bradley. This story is a wonderful instalment in the Kings series and tells of Daron’s determination to protect the boys in his care, while maintaining a relationship with the lovely Cameron. Drama, angst, mystery and romance are all combined to make this a credible addition to this engaging and addictive series. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and the character representations were believable. I can’t wait for the next exciting story!

I am loving this series of 9 books and I was extremely excited to read Daron's story. HIs presence in the first couple of books was so mysterious but also helped all of the kings so much. I did struggle with this book a lot though. I had a hard time keeping all of the characters separated and knowing who went where and who had history with who. I also had a hard time understanding the back story for Daron and Cameron. It seemed like we came in half way through their relationship and they never went back to explain how they met and what caused them to end up together. I am going to do some research to see if these characters were introduced in another one of Karen's books because I would love to know more of Cameron's backstory and her brothers.
I did enjoy getting to find out more about Aunt Bee and why she felt so responsible for Daron's fathers death. Also seeing Daron's day in and day out job was extremely interesting.
Thank you to net galley, Karen D. Bradley and Ambrosia Sands Books for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Two Players in the Game trying to leave their pasts behind and enemies coming at them from all sides. Daron is a Software-Electronics Developer Genius. Developing devices and security protocols for the CIA, FBI and Interpol. At times, it felt like he was working for the criminals because of the situations they had him in. Raised by a criminal mastermind as a Godson, his membership to the Kings of the Castle was inherited and brought skepticism from the other Kings.
Cameron a chameleon of all trades, weapons expert and other hidden talents that makes her the perfect mate for a man who is near genius status. Secrets and lies threaten their relationship. Criminals seem to interrupt their lives with and attempted kidnapping of someone Daron is trying hard to protect, exchange of gunfire with criminals that have a far reach, and little bit of international espionage thrown in. The only way Daron can keep Cameron in the relationship is to tell the truth—the truth about the Kings of the Castle, the Security company’s latest inventions, as well as what he did in the past. King of Morgan Park has lots of action, romance, steam and intrigue.

Daron inherited his membership with the kings. He was trying to help two young men from his inner circle while trying to dodge his nemesis who was out to kill him. Cameron, Daron's girlfriend was under the impression that Daron went back over to the dark side because he was keeping secrets from her or was he. You'll have to read it for yourself. Pay close attention to Daron and all of his security gadgets. Great story line.

Another great addition to the series. I read this book ‘out of order’, but it makes no difference in the series. No cliffhangers, just solid characters and a well-designed plot keep the reader coming back to the castle. I received an advanced digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Cameran and Daron
King of Morgan Park is a captivating tale that includes two characters I find amazing and an intriguing storyline that focuses on helping those in need. Cameran and Daron compliment each other even though their pasts and current work challenges their relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Thank you Karen Bradley for this. The King of Morgan Park, his queen and the other kings have my attention and admiration.

This book is the fifth installment in the Kings of the Castle series. In King of Morgan Park, we learned more about Daron Kincaid's background and expertise. Daron runs a high tech security firm as well as invest in his community by assisting troubled youth off the streets. Due to his security inventions, Daron made many enemies with his impact on reducing crime. With his dangerous lies, Daron risks his relationship with current or past associates.
Honest note: I struggled with the narrative because the author included a lot of characters from her previous books, which I was unfamiliar with them. With limited character introductions, I found myself re-reading to grasp the story. The author packed a lot into this story, and some characters I was trying to understand how they relate.
Despite my lack of awareness, I do think well-versed readers will find the suspense and crime thriller a good read.

Could not get into it
This book had me struggling to read it. There were just too many characters who were not properly introduced. This was confusing to me until the end of the book where it was explained that these characters were from the author's previous books that I was not familiar with. This was my first time reading a book by this author. If one was not familiar with her previous work, I can see how it was confusing. Even though Karen Bradley wrote a detailed book, I did not care for the execution of it. There was just no connection in my opinion between Daron and Cameron. I did not feel them at all.

Yeah This Rocks!
Well noe we have a new power couple in the mix and boy are they not only cool but sexy as well! The dynamics of Darkness and Cameron's relationship is something to see. These are two very smart and fearless people who just want to keep the other safe and to love on one another without losing themselves in the process. The writer gives us sexy romance,letting the green eyed monster stick his head out, all the while throwing in that James Bond mixed with Foxy Brown's kick but action. This was good and entertaining, but I also got the feeling that their story should have either been first or at least second.Overall you are not going to be disappointed.

It was ok, I don't know I guess seeing as there are so many king's stories I thought it would have been better. I have never read this author before and I dont know if I will jump at the chance to do so again. These could all be read as a standalone, however I like to know everything..so even thought this was not my cold cup of tea, I didn't hate it to the point that I would not continue..
rcvd an ARC at no cost to author...voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions.

Ok. This was just too over the top. Daron is the smart tech guy, but he was on some CIA/S.H.I.E.L.D type stuff. I can’t see how the type of tech he was working with would be allowed in the streets of Chicago....just all willy-nilly.
I think I need a backstory for Cameron and Daron, because it seems as if they can be with each other or not....they don’t care. Lol. They seem so nonchalant about one another and their relationship.

King of Morgan Park!
I was disappointed in this book because it didn't flow well with the other books in the series. This book takes place right after the introduction of the Kings of the Castle, and the other books have already progressed ahead of this one. And then, Daron and Cameron's story seems to have been told in another book that's not in the series.

This is my favorite story so far! There was no damsel in distress. She is a badass that doesn't take any mess from anyone even when she knows she has feelings for Daron. He also holds tough to what he believes but goes after the woman he wants like a mature strong man should. They are an incredible couple and team.

Although this book is a part of the series, this is a stand alone and the only book you'll need to read before this is the Kings of The Castle. Daron Kincaid is the techie of the kings, using his abilities for good in attempts to keep women from being sex trafficked. His Significant other Cameron is just as tough and stubborn as he is, which makes for an interesting read. All are working together to bring the Castle back to where it was originally slated to be.
I think the most interesting thing about this book is that two strong willed people are in a relationship with each other. Their personalities shine through and they truly make it work. That's not always an easy task. It was a fast paced, interesting read and I enjoyed it.
I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and the publisher for an honest review. All Thoughts and opinions are my own.

I am finally finishing and I am glad that I did. The suspense was killing me. I like Cameron, she is my kinda girl in a brawl. I love how this story twisted and turned and turned and twisted. I am excited to start book 6. I will have to more focused. Loving this series.

Talented people
I like that there are a lot of twists and turns in this book a bit of a mystery. I also enjoyed reading about Cameron and Daron relationship. Something is just not clicking for me I will continue on though.

Awesome Book!
Once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down. The characters and plot was put together so that the book was an easy and relaxing read. I really enjoyed the flow and look forward to reading more books from Karen B!

And Yet Another Hit To This Series!! 🤗
Didn’t realize that Cameron and Daron had prior history in another book until I finished the book. That’s okay, though. Gives me another book to read! I really enjoyed this book. It was action-packed with a lot of drama and issues! I liked the energy and relationship between Daron and Cameron! Overall, this is another excellent book in this series! Kudos, Karen! 💜

Kings of the Castles
I like the series and I love all of the characters, also I like that’s it is a stand-alone. The storylines are great.
