Darkness. Do you know when the darkest hour is? Just before dawn's breaking light.
That's right. Reflections disappear, invisible shadows silently lurk, and truths have yet to be discovered. Then a faint promised glow appears, bringing with it all the gifts of a brand new day.
Embry and Mateo have been playing hide and seek for the past few years. They both yearn to be caught, but concealed chains hold them back. How can they move forward when the past refuses to let them go? Besides, their brot Darkness. Do you know when the darkest hour is? Just before dawn's breaking light.
That's right. Reflections disappear, invisible shadows silently lurk, and truths have yet to be discovered. Then a faint promised glow appears, bringing with it all the gifts of a brand new day.
Embry and Mateo have been playing hide and seek for the past few years. They both yearn to be caught, but concealed chains hold them back. How can they move forward when the past refuses to let them go? Besides, their brothers need them now more than ever. War is on the horizon; love will have to wait. But if history has proven anything, you can't change yesterday, but you can lose tomorrow.

The Rebel Kings captured my heart from the very beginning and I’ve been on cloud nine since discovering the duet was in fact a full-bodied series of four (or maybe more?!) stories. Unseasoned Garrett Leigh groupies might wonder how anyone could follow in Cam, Saint & Alexei’s footsteps. Perhaps they could even feel sorry for the poor saps and lack confidence in this unexpected addition. I’ve been around Leigh’s playground long enough that I walked with sure feet and had to resist the urge to race and dive in head first. As usual, my trust was rewarded. Naturally, Garrett doesn’t make it easy for Mateo and Embry. Their relationship begins distant and muted. But just as the sun takes her time before she dazzles us and eventually blinds us, they find their place and purpose with fresh hope. Dawn will always soothe your soul…if you let her.

Can I tell you a secret? I’m a terrible secret keeper! My husband says I would be a miserable actress and a terrible criminal. I have no poker face! Secrets weigh on me and Embry can relate. He never conceived that Mateo not only carried his own share of hidden truths, but his shoulders were almost at their breaking point. He is the family’s chaplain or the support system of the club. How can he offer advice, comfort, and counsel when his own lover can’t confide in him? Even more, Mateo’s secret is the key to his heart and Embry had no chance of sharing it without this missing piece. Knife wounds eventually heal, but betrayal leaves Embry flayed open. But as their enemies pile up, they don’t have time to lick wounds. It’s now or never.

Considering this is the hot corner in this series, I can’t share everything I wish I could. What can I tell you? Emotions are high and the plot is heavy. If you’re looking for more of the set of three, don’t worry, the president is happily fastened between his two better parts. If you’re needing loyalty and devotion, you’ve got it. Feeling feisty? Crack those knuckles and jump into the melee. It’s a scorcher and some are about to get burned. Shadows linger. Brotherhood is challenged. Love is accepted. AND I loved every bit of the chaos and pain laced with kindness. We all leave our mark on this world, sometimes with full bellies or colorful art, and if you’re lucky, with long-lasting literary friends. Thank you Garrett for filling my heart with your bad boys with hearts of gold.

Beware of: Sins…yes, even the father has them. Justice…a promise that hopefully, we all find. And love…strong enough to withstand the greatest burdens.

This book is for: There is no question, you need to know and love the Rebel Kings before jumping into this leg of the journey. If you don’t know them, the devil has a dance waiting for you. Enjoy…and I’ll wait for you here. Did I tell you, this ride isn’t over…yet!
