Progression of the StoryĪs I alluded to in my comparison to Den of Vipers, there was no real plot or character development in that book which was the main thing (besides a lot of sex scenes I did not vibe with) that turned me off from that book. Whereas, Roxy is just given that role but doesn’t play an active part in anything that happens. River throughout her time with the Kings, steps into the role of their Queen as she gains their trust and respect. Versus Den of Vipers where there really was nothing of either. Not only that, but we see the relationship of the group evolve as the books progress alongside the plot. So, the power dynamic is different between the Kings of Chaos with River than they were with the Vipers and Roxy. That happened before in River’s life and she’s now getting revenge against those who did that to her. I think a lot of this comes from the fact that while the Kings of Chaos make River say at their place, she wasn’t kidnapped by them to be used as leverage/payment due to the deeds of her father like Roxy was with the Vipers. Priest (real name Daire) is Garrett, aka the one with the traumatic previous love story that leaves them jaded.Ash is Kenzo, aka the carefree individual who is associated with cards.Knox is Diesel, aka the assassin and torture expert that is into knife-play.Gage is Ryder, aka the leader of the group.Comparison to Den of VipersĪs I read the first book, I couldn’t help but compare the two stories together as each of the guys fits a specific role that lines up with the guys in Den of Vipers. They end up taking her to their house, after catching her killing someone behind their bar, trying to figure out if she’s going to be trouble for them. There were several individuals involved, but she’s down to the final name when she comes across the Kings of Chaos (Gage, Knox, Ash, and Priest). She starts out wanting to get revenge on the final man who had kidnapped her and her sister when they were teenagers. This series follows River through several different stages. This series is currently available on Kindle Unlimited. Knight but found you wanted more out of it (mainly plot and better development), the Dirty Broken Savages series by Eva Ashwood is for you. I can’t remember exactly when I read the first book, but the final book came of the series came out on March 31, 2022.

I started reading this series last year when I finally decided to read books in the romance genre. These help support the blog, so I can keep creating content. This post may contain affiliate or referral codes, for which I receive a small compensation and you get a discount in exchange.
