I like this series, but Luna seemed the best book biker babe. See 1st book.
Reign was fun, I liked her interactions with her brothers and it made sense how she wasn't intimidated by the bikers dudes. I really like how she had a skill, a mechanic, and how each woman in this series can hold her own.

Steamy, suspenseful & fun.

I loved that Reign was a mechanic and wish we had seen more of her in that element after she meets the guys. Reign was very similar to Luna in some ways and I am not the biggest fan of “not like the other girls” when it’s not subtle, but she was also a lot of fun and it led to some very witty banter between them. This was 3.5 stars for me. Lots of steam, suspense and fun. Can’t wait to start the next one!

❝Carnage,” Priest yells over the noise of the crowd, “meet our old lady.”

They all yell out their praise, so I turn my head to see who they are talking about, pausing when I look up and see Bates’s shit-eating grin.

“Oh, hell, no.❞

[b: The Reign of Kings|53776311|The Reign of Kings (Underestimated #3)|Candice M. Wright|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1591117879l/53776311._SY75_.jpg|84095337] is the third book in the Underestimated series and tells the story of Reign.



Being the only girl growing up in a family full of boys meant that Reign learned how to take care of herself.

❝It was survival of the fittest in the Foster household. My brothers might have protected me from outside dangers, but at home I was just one of the boys, which meant if they hurt me, I was expected to hurt them back twice as bad.❞


But when an unknown threat sets its sights on her, and makes it apparent that they have the ability to hurt those she’s closest to, Reign is left with no choice but to leave in order to protect those she loves.

❝Why the hell would this brave, feisty woman end up here, with her family a bunch of cops, unless she or they were truly in serious danger?❞


Seeking sanctuary with the Kings of Carnage was supposed to be temporary. They were meant to keep her safe. She certainly wasn’t supposed to be claimed by three sexy men who happened to be the club’s presidents. And she definitely wasn’t supposed to become their old lady.



Candice Wright is a queen when it comes to creating quality fast-burn-romances. I often find that when authors choose to write insta-love/fast-burn romances, they forget to establish a solid enough foundation to build their relationships on; in the end they feel convenient, forced, and weak. However, while Reign is claimed as Bates, Priest and Saint’s old lady the same day they meet, Wright made sure that the storyline and its characters supported the speedy relationship.

My only complaint is that Wright created a heroine with the skills and mindset of a badass, and then had her be reliant on the men in her life to save her. Sure, she was able to put the club girls in their place, and she took care of a prospect and towny looking to hurt her, but those were situations that forced her to act immediately. When it comes to her stalker, the only action she takes is to go into hiding and hope that her brothers find him before he finds her—and if he does find her first, she hopes the club will be able to protect her. I didn’t view Reign as a damsel in distress, but that’s what she ended up being. I wouldn't say that my opinion of the book greatly suffered from this, but it kept me from liking it as much as the previous two books.
