Esko's Tale: The Burner Boyz MC Book 3
It’s ride three and this time we dive into the world of Andres “Esko” Colon. Being the chairman of the most dangerous biker gang in Goode City is no easy feat, but he makes it looks easy…
After a tumultuous breakup with his fiancée, Esko is forced into the single life. After months of being a bachelor, he’s grown tired of his mundane love life. That is until he meets Kori Golden. She captures his attention at first glance with much more than her obvious beauty. Esko prepares himself to make a move but there’s an obstacle he must face. Kori’s occupation forbids her from entertaining Esko but he’s determined to win her by any means necessary.
On top of his new hurdle, The Burner Boyz find themselves in a new beef with another gang. With Esko being the OG, he must prove that he’s not only a leader but willing to put in work even if it involves bloodshed…

Honestly, all I want is for Pope and Sassy to hook up! 😩

Loved catching up with the Burner Boyz! Now, Esko is the ish! This man doesn't back down from anything or anyone, and is honest to a fault! Make sure you ready when approach Esko, cause he gone give it to you in the raw! He was one of those men that can "tell" you what to do, and you a swooning while completing his every command! 😂 Kori, the sweet, laid back teacher, attracted the eye of one of the OG's, Mr. Esko himself! He saw her, and the pursuit was on! It didn't take long for him to wear her down, and it was sweet how Esko took care of Kori. But, that damn ex of his, Persia, was the Queen Bih! She was so ugly on the inside, petty, and manipulative as hell! 😠 She could never see the fault in anything that she was doing, and then karma came calling for that ass....... Finally! Ughhh........ The gang went through some drama this time around, but there is nothing they can't handle together. Now, what is Onyx going to do with his situation?? Looking forward to his read soon. Good job! 👍👍👍

Esko’s tale was a story that I didn’t know I needed. He was an OG and he proved why he is that dude! I loved his story and the connection he had towards Kori. I wouldn’t say it was opposite attraction but a biker boy and an elementary school teacher.. okay! It worked. I just loved everything about Kori- she really had a heart of gold. I loved her for Esko!! 🥹I think she balanced him and really brought peace in his crazy world. I loved how she saw her father as a person and really went out of her way to ensure he was loved- it was so sweet. Now, it wouldn’t be a Charae book if there wasn’t chaos and that darn Persia brought that to the story. Lawd, she needed to be laid out!!! She was cray! Overall, this was a great book and I couldn’t get enough of the story. I would not be opposed to the twins having a story… just saying! Good read!

4.25⭐️
I didn’t think I needed to read about the OG’s but I thoroughly enjoyed Esko’s book.
Esko an OG Burner Boy finally rids himself of his relationship with his fiancée because she is crazy and he’s tired of the BS.
He meets Kori during school drop off and he’s instantly attracted to her and shoots his shot immediately. The story takes off after that.
I liked that I was able to not only experience their relationship but also how they navigated the struggles in their individual lives.
This book touches on the struggles of Esko and Kori, including having alcoholic parents and dealing with difficult ex-partners. All of this had my chest hurting as I was reading.
Charae did a good job making this story come together!
My random book thoughts:
If her name Persia in the book, she gon be a delusional bird.
Neeko deserved what came to him
I wish we knew more about Pope and Sassy

GOOD READ
This third installment of the Burner Boyz was really good. In this story we get to read about Esko the father and the protector. Esko meeting Kori was exactly who he needed in his life. She was drama free, independent and dedicated to her students. I loved the chemistry between her and Esko. They definitely put smiles on each other's faces. Esko realized his mistake with Persia because she was spoiled and felt entitled. All her wrong doing and she still wouldn't accept responsibility. She got exactly what she deserved. The Burner Boyz proved that they may not be in the streets but they get things done by any means necessary. Cant wait to read Onyx story and see what's going with all these missing girls.

Yessss!
Esko is a man who knows what he wants and doesn't want and makes it perfectly clear. However, everyone can't handle his honesty! Persia lost herself in a tsunami she created. Kori just wanted to be loved and do what she loved! I loved this book and can't wait to read about Onyx!

Burner Boyz Don't Play!!
Esko is the man because if I would have had to deal with Persia I would have choked her destroying his bike or trying to turn his son against him. Playing the victim not taking responsibility for her actions. He was sick of her and them. Playing emotional blackmail with Melo. Her family was nuts also knowing she is manipulative. Esko applied pressure on Kori. I don't know why Ny'asia was so pressed about Persia because their situation is not the same. Kori asked her the same thing trying make Esko the blame in the relationship. Neeko was always jealous of Esko he chose the biker gang over the street gang. Esko killed Neeko for two reasons because shot up his parents house and to make sure left Kori alone. Persia was hiding out, her a** caused a screen at Melo's school by coming up there and stabbing Kori. And she thought Esko was going to help her out. Girl you are out of mind. Shema talked a good about Pope, he would turn her a** out. Esko and Kori connected over alcoholic father's. Esko gave Kori everything, his heart, his time they vacationed together, he even talked about marriage. He gave Kori everything Persia took for granted.

Esko's Tale
Of course none of the Burner Boyz ever disappoints. I love them and I am so glad I found these 2 additional stories. I am pretty sure they were already written but I did not know. Now I love Esko because he grown man fine and I am not just talking about his looks. The way he expresses his feelings, the way he takes care of his son and the way he treats Kori. He was not letting up off of here and I really loved that. Kori super sweet but take no mess from no one and baby I can get with that. I definitely love her relationship with her sisters because it's so relatable. The passion she shows for her career is definitely a trait that I feel Esko liked about her. She wasn't going to let him come before something she worked hard for. Both if them definitely mesh well together because both can turn up at ant time. Onyx story should interesting for sure!!

here for the burner boyz
I love this biker gang!! And my sweet Omar is back Now I want to know where the heck is Cormega.
This confirms my theory that Uno’s story came a little premature, this was meater and had some layers. Persia was gutter trash, it got to the point anytime he name was mentioned I rolled my eyes. It was inevitable the school thing would happen, the disclosure I mean. But the way she handled it- I wish Kori would’ve done more.
My heart ached for Charles. Poor thing. And Esko’s dad. Especially him since he had to deal with hearing his wife’s constant journey down memory lane.
I enjoyed this much more than book 2. Now on to book 4. Initially I was team Nyasia and Onyx. But I didn’t like her energy here. So I guess it’s team Shyne it is!

Soooo good!
Ok, i love me some Esko! He was a real man and a great father, who was not afraid to ride for his. I loved Kori too, I liked how she had her own mind when it came to her father and I was ready to ride out for her when not only was her life in jeopardy, but her career too! From the jump, Esko was not letting up off Kori and all i can say is….Lord, i see what you have done for others🥹😂.. although i noticed not once did he actually said “i love you” in the book, he was very serious about his intentions with Kori. I enjoyed all the side characters, Shema and Kema especially. Persia violated so crazy and still found the audacity while sitting up in hospital looking like Quasimodo smh. Overall, i love this series and can’t wait to continue the Burner Boyz series!

Listen,
E S K O is in a league of his own honey. When I tell y’all Charae wrote this man so perfectly like WOW. He is THEE book Bae. Every time he spoke I knew he meant business. He wasn’t afraid to be himself, love his woman, spoil her, get his lick back, and be down for his crew. Most importantly he was a businessman that’s making sure he leaves a legacy for his child. I loved it. Oh & the the scenes were SPICY with Esko & Kori E V E R Y T H I N G. Whew 🥵🥵 Esko got a way with his words for sure. I can’t wait to read more of the Burner Boyz next year!!!!

Absolutely loved it!
Esko knew what he wanted and went for it full steam ahead. I really enjoyed the relationship between him and Kori. This well written book flowed well, was full of action and definitely kept my attention. I loved the viewpoint of alcoholism and the way that Kori stood by her father. Persia’s racist behind got what was coming to her and I wanted to get in the book and body slam her. This Burner Boyz series is really giving me life!

This was another good read. This was such an exciting and fun to read story. It was a good addition to the series. Charae Lewis displayed her talented writing skills. There wasn’t a dull moment. The story came together well and connected well previous stories in the series.

I love love love Esko and Kori!! Esko definitely has BDE!!🔥🔥🔥 I glad Kori stopped comparing him to her past and got over the fact that he was one of her student’s father and gave him a chance! As for Persia her ass got exactly what she deserved!! I never could stand her 🤣🤣 I hope to see more of Esko and Kori!

Esko
Good read! The Burner Boyz are back. Esko is an OG. There’s something about grown men running around in gangs and boys clubs that makes me still see them in a juvenile way. I like that we see how Esko’s personality was shaped by his observations as a child. I really like Pope!

Gauntlet just dropped!
Where could you go wrong hot guys, motorcycles, and romance from that dude all mother’s said to stay away from 🤣🥰. I’m still running to find a little something 🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣. Esko and Kori are perfect and you will see red many times as the Burner Boys navigate life.

decent
This was a decent read. It took so long coming out I forgot all about it, but I do remember the other books being better than this. I just can’t remember what they’re about. This was ok for what it was. Kori irritated me a little though. Nothing special happened but it was good enough to keep my attention. I didn’t start skipping pages until close to the end.

Loved it
I really enjoyed this story. I loved Esko because he knew what he wanted he wasn't afraid to express that. Kori was the perfect balance for him. I want to strangle Persia throughout this whole book, and she really grinds my gears. I hate that she never took responsibility for her actions. I can't wait to read Onyx's story.

Damn
Now Esko tale finally shows how a toxic woman can breakdown a good man. Esko did mess with other women when they were on breaks but never spoke on it because why when it was nothing serious. However Ms Persia just had to use that as a reason for her behavior when it was still uncalled for. Glad he left that situation because it would only get worse if he stayed

I just finished this book and think you might like it....
R Kelly sang, "when a woman is fed up, aint nothing u can do about it".
Honey, it ain't had nothing on when Burner Boyz OG, Esko fell out of love with his ex after she burned one bridge too many.
Persia's special brand of racism triggered me.
Kori and Esko work! Now let's go see what Messy Onyx is up to!

This series just keeps getting better and better! I don’t feel bad for Persia at all! She didn’t except responsibility for her actions at all. Her family was just as complacent.

The drama in this book was from beginning to end. That baby momma was the worst and she got everything she deserved. Esko love and loyalty was everything!! Kori was ready but she wasn't prepared for it all. Charae never disappoints!
