They say bad things happen in threes.
The first was when I lost my parents.
The second came when I had to leave behind everything I knew to move across the world to live with my only remaining relative.
But what was life for, if not for living? So I kept moving.
Then the third thing happened, just as I was about to begin my junior year at the prestigious Blackstone University. ...more

This book was a tease to what I can imagine is going to be an amazing series. The scorching sexual intensity between these characters kept me panting for more! So many questions left unanswered, then of course it ends in one earth shattering cliff hanger.
Okay 𝐖𝐓𝐅 Seriously!!! This is the 5th book in a row where I'm bored out of my mind and just blah. Am I being punished by the universe for some 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧 reason i'm not aware of. Like Honestly Am I?....So help me God if this 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 of boring books puts me in a reading slump i will be out for 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝.

if this book was a person, they’d just be dead behind the eyes. absolutely empty.
This is the first book in the Boneyard Kings series and features Everly and her men - Saint, Mateo and Callum. Everly is a junior at Blackstone University and lives with her uncle who is also the dean of the university. Her parents died in an accident and her uncle is now her guardian.
Saint, Mateo and Callum are the Boneyard Kings on the south side and people fear them and what secrets they hide. Everly and her uncle are on the north side and her uncle is not as good as he claims to be. Saint, ...more

Merciless Kings is the first book in the Boneyard Kings series and it was beyond great! I was hooked from page one. These authors brought three hot want hate them, but secretly have to love them guys, one feisty college girl who won't backdown and an captivating storyline that will grip you... have you wanting more.
You'll get more. You'll get so much more. Just like Everly, you'll end up getting more than you bargained for, but you'll love it. Every dirty word, every dirty touch, every filthy mo ...more

I am still trying to wrap my head around wtf I just read. Like wow. I feel like this book seriously needs a trigger warning since there is some rape sh*t going on.
What pulled me to this book was the description and it being a RH which I’m very into at the moment. I always love the unique dynamics between the FMC and her boys, but this story made me feel sick.
It started off confusing and didn’t get much better. I felt like I was dropped into the middle of a storyline that wasn’t fully flushed out ...more

I am 𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 over the cliffhanger that I was hit with! This cowrite blew away any and all expectations I could have conjured for these two authors. Everly is just a pawn in a wicked game of moves, clueless of the Boneyard Kings real intentions. She just wants to get through college after uprooting her entire life when her parents died in a tragic accident. She's forced to move halfway across the world with her only relative, her uncle, who also happens to be the dean of her pretentious new schoo

The good is that this is fast-paced and is a very quick read. The downside for me is that the FMC was a doormat, the MMC's reasons for what they do are not fleshed out, and this rests heavily on "she's betrayed by her body so it's all good". The cliffy at the end does intrigue me enough I might pick up the next book but it's also possible I'll completely forget about it because I'm just not invested enough in these characters. ...more

You can never go wrong with either Becca Steele or C Lymari books. Merciless Kings was no different and steamy as can be.
Merciless Kings is the first book in the Boneyard Kings trilogy. I couldn't put this book down. I loved it because it gave me Caiden and Winter vibes from the Four Series by Becca Steele.

Are you obsessed with reverse harem college bully romance with tons of steam and suspense? Then Merciless Kings, the first book in Boneyard Kings series by Becca Steele and C. Lymari is for you. It was a fast paced, super sexy and action packed romance with complex plot and fascinating characters.

Oh I loved that cliffhanger. It came out of nowhere and it was such a great way to end the book and ensure that we are highly anticipating book two. I had to check the release date once I finish the book.

Name some of the greatest dream teams that you know of and go! The 1992 US men’s Olympic basketball team, the 1985 Chicago Bears and their Super Bowl Shuffle, and peanut butter and jelly. Unfortunately, there is one pairing missing, Becca Steele and Claudia Lymari. These two authors are dynamites separately but put together, watch out world because The BC show is unstoppable.

Callum, Mateo and Saint – can we duplicate these three for me? They are beyond words, I can’t describe their characters easily because they are complex, and that makes me love them so much more. Their story and journey is not for the faint hearted. There are twists galore but definitely not a story I regret reading at all.

I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. So with an bully rh read. It's usually a hit or a miss for me. Merciless kings was a five start hit. I was so engrossed from the very first page to the very last page. I love these brothers and there bond. They have each other's back no matter what. And they don't do the whole jealousy thing which I love they are just equal. I love Saint so much and Callium and Matteo. I might have a smaller cru

Wow! Becca Steele and C. Lymari have just delivered a phenomenal story!
Merciless Kings is book one in the Boneyard Kings trilogy and is a reverse harem with a cat and mouse feel to it. (Or should I say cats?)
This story had me hooked after the first chapter and left me craving for the next installment of this series!
This story is completely sensual and seductive. Whether it was Saint, Mateo, or Callum, they all had Everly (and me) begging for more. Usually I have a favorite but I can honestly sa ...more

Well, fuuuuuudge!
That disappeared way too quickly.
And that cliffhanger was BRUTAL.
I loved everything about this book.
The suspense, the mystery, the steam, that feeling of impending doom... it was a dream read.
This book was the one my little black heart has been greedily waiting for.
Deliciously dark, perfectly twisted, beautifully broken; these boys are already my new addiction.
Bring on the rest of the series!

OMG!!!! Becca Steele and C. Lymari are a dream team! This book was phenomenal! I couldn’t put it down. Hooked from the start and that ending had me freaking out! This book is straight up sexy and the mystery between the Boneyard Kings and their revenge for Everly’s uncle kept it very exciting! This book is an amazing start to this series! And I really hope to see more in the future with Becca Steele and C. Lymari writing together.
so stupid. how does this even have any high review or even mediocre reviews that was so bad like my brain hurts. not to mention some of that weird non-consensual rapey stuff occurring throughout the story. like so gross and just horrible.
