Wicked Warden (Vicious Vipers MC Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 657 ratings

A woman in need of protection. A Vicious MC enforcer. One wicked plan of revenge.

I spend a decade running from the demons of my past until they show up at the Vicious Vipers MC compound in need of my help.

I failed to watch over the one woman who meant everything to me, even if she wasn’t mine. But, I will not fail in protecting her daughter, despite the crime lords gunning for her.

She’s feisty and fierce, and off limits, but damn if my body and mind aren’t on the same page.

She might not think she needs looking after, but I will fulfill my promise to her father to keep her safe—even if the cost is my life for hers.


Wicked Warden is the first title in the Vicious Vipers series and features an alpha who will leave you needing a new pair of panties.

If you love sizzling chemistry in a forbidden love tale laced with an enemies-to-lovers flare, then buy Wicked Warden today!

    Shaun and Drew have a special love and hate relationship. His her hero and a person she's been hating for years. She's convinced that she doesn't like him however he's the only one who has given her everything she needs.

    Drew knows she's trouble and he doesn't want to cross the line. She's a wonderful temptation he can't resist. She is sassy and mouthy and he loves it. He knows she's attracted to him.

    This is a wonderful story of friendship and forgiveness. Drew is explosive and determine to protect Shaun. He knows she's hurting and he does everything in his power to make her happy.

    I absolutely recommend this fantastic story!

    Holy HOT and POSSESSIVE Alpha man! I love reading a delicious MC but add in a man who never gives up until he claims her, SOLD! It's got a little bit of everything that you would want in a MC romance.

    I love Warden, he's sexy, rugged, misunderstood a little bit but he is an over protective alpha biker through and through. Now Shaun on the other hand is a mess, She's A brat that gets everything she wants and revenge on her mind, but she's also misguided but for some reason Warden fells hard. They have that I hate you thing going on but they make a perfect match. I'm looking forward to hearing more about their relationship in the near future. I love author Lynn Burke, she has the ability to make you love her characters, she doesn't give you a story, she gives you tale to think about for days, She's one of my top fave authors, well done Author Lynn Burke!

    More like 2.5 -3 stars. I am only giving it a three because I finished it. I also am considering at least two more in the series just to read the stories of the other brothers. I really liked Ryker (Book 3 that I haven't read).

    Here's the problems that I saw:
    -I was okay with the back story and how the characters are originally connected. Drew is Shaun's father's former best friend. I just thought that once the action started, there would be more emotions based on that relationship. It just seemed to be an after thought when there should have been more red flags in the beginning.

    -For an alpha male, Drew is weak in that regard. He let's Shaun run over him and ends up chasing her into dangerous situations. I am surprised that the MC actually backed him up on this one as she wasn't really old lady material.

    -Mine - I love when an alpha uses Mine to convey the dynamic between the two main characters. It just looses it appeal when the male uses it over and over without any recognition from the female. He was definitely more invested than she was so at the end when they do get together, it just doesn't make sense.

    -Shaun's a brat. She's emotionally immature, and there were several times that I wanted to smack her for Drew. Okay, so you think the guy ruined your life, and you want to make him hurt. I get that. I just felt that there was no a-ha moment where she actually thinks she might like this guy. She liked his activities but not him. When she finally confesses that she's willing to try, she specifically says that Drew will just have to deal with her as she grows up because she's going to make mistakes. Uh no, you shouldn't want to hurt the ones who stand by you.

    -I hate when a heroine runs, gets in trouble, and then the hero has to bail her out. It happens back to back, and I just rolled my eyes at that point. It was almost a dnf at that point.

    I want to read the other books in the series because I enjoyed the personalities of the other brothers who are shown. However, they're not on Kindle Unlimited, and I am not sure I enjoyed this one enough to actually pay for the rest.

    Wow. There’s devotion and there are promises. Given both it’s hard to know which is more powerful. This was an excellent grip-the-edge-of-your-seat type of story. It was vicious and exciting.

    Shaun (FMC) has a haunted past and an over-protected life leads to a wild side. Drew (MMC) once was her bodyguard, but after a mistake it’s been years since he had seen her or her father. So when they show up needing help, history comes to the surface. But with that history leads to tension and some serious steamy scenes. I enjoyed the grit in this book along with the storyline. I will continue with this series. TW/18+

    I loved Drew, and the way he cares for the FMC, and just him basically. I love age gap and this book was exactly what I've been craving lately. I loved the writing, and will definitely be going on and reading more from this author especially cause I know I'm going to love a certain couple of guys.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2020
    I got this book free, and to be honest I was dubious about what to expect. What I found was a really good book, with a great plot, characters and hea.

    There is suggested cheating, and forgiveness.
