Dragon Strife

Dragon Strife is the second book in the Steel Dragons MC trilogy by C.A. Rene.

Synopsis

The stolen Varga. A defiled princess.

Those flames had hit the sky like the wrath of a dragon.

They all stood there in shock, finally seeing me for what I truly am,

A force to be reckoned with. The Dragon Slayer.

The hatred in my brother’s eyes burned just as bright as the flames,

but he had to have known he couldn’t get rid of me that easily.

I plan to rip open his skin, exposing his insides to my torture.

I won’t rest until he’s nothing more than a faded memory.

He took away the only family I had left,

And now I vow to destroy the only one he’s ever known.

The Steel Dragons MC will be nothing more than burning cinders when I’m through.

With Diego and Malik by my side, there’s nothing I can’t accomplish.

Rules are forgotten and lines obliterated,

All is fair in love and war.

Review

WOW. I was obsessed with Dragon Slayer and Dragon Strife did not let me down. I can't even with Genni aka "V". She's GOALS, minus all the trauma she's experienced...but how she comes back from it.... I just can't. This phoenix rising from the ashes is on another level. 🔥

Diego and Malik are perfect and just what she needed at the end of the first book but now there's also Malik's sweet twin, Laith, which creates an interesting dynamic. Although we all know I love the crazies so I'm addicted to Malik, I think I highlighted half of the things that came out of his mouth. 🙃

"That girl owns me now, cock and balls."

He grabs himself under the table for emphasis.

"I think it's supposed to be heart and soul," I reply with a snort.

"Not when you don't possess either of those things."

Bonus Malik quotes for you to enjoy:

"You pee all over your enemies like the barn-broken pony you aren't."

"Is he flirting with me? It must've been the head I gave him while pretending he was a priest fucking my dirty nun mouth."

"I wanted to plan something special. Like maybe while you were fucking her pussy, I'd slip into her ass. With candlelight of course."

🤣🤣🤣

I'm pretty sure everyone hates Quinton and Jaeger just as much as I do. I can see Quinton getting a redemption arc but I don't know how she could ever forgive Jaeger. His insane gaslighting made him even more infuriating. 🔪

"Jaeger has a date with the barrel of my gun, and if I'm feeling nice, I'll lube it up with his blood before I fuck him with it."

I'm absolutely hooked on this series. I can't believe this is already the second book in a trilogy because I'm ready for so much more. October is so far away...that cliffhanger!! 😭

Notable Highlights

"How ironic," Laith mutters. "The Devil calling for Mass."

"I wanted to plan something special. Like maybe while you were fucking her pussy, I'd slip into her ass. With candlelight of course."

My cock jerks at the authoritative tone of his voice, my favorite Diego is the bedroom one, and maybe when he gets to shoot motherfuckers from a distance, I like that Diego too.

Is he flirting with me? It must've been the head I gave him while pretending he was a priest fucking my dirty nun mouth.

"You don't go into battle thinking death is an option. That makes you weak and too accepting of an outcome that isn't the one you planned for. You're going to walk into that battle with your body aflame in fire and your intentions clear. Kneel or lose your fucking heads."

She snorts and stands as she undoes her jeans. "I had to go, and Jaeger learned the hard way to let his prisoners piss before capture." "That's my girl." I lightly touch my first to her chin. "You pee all over your enemies like the barn-broken pony you aren't."
