RBMC: Dallas, TX Books in Order

The Dallas chapter of the Royal Bastards MC has the same dark-club energy as the Ankeny books, but it starts from a different place. This is not a stable chapter carrying on business as usual. It is a chapter being rebuilt. Raptor has come back to Texas and reopened a club that had been shut down in the wake of earlier damage, which gives the whole series a restless, startup feel. Everything matters because everything still feels newly claimed.

Taming Raptor is the right place to begin. Adrien Raptor Krow returns to Texas carrying old debts, old secrets, and unfinished business with Sage, the woman he never truly got over. The book mixes personal history with chapter-building pressure and the threat of a contract killer, so the romance never gets to exist in a calm bubble. Raptor's Revenge continues that same couple's story, which is worth knowing going in. Their happily-ever-after is not handed over in one neat package. There are still demons, still enemies, and still reasons for Raptor to prove he meant what he said when he claimed what was his.

Then Sparking Ares changes the angle.

That book brings in a familiar face from Allen's Demented Sons world, Soap, now Ares, and lets him enter the Dallas chapter with revenge on his mind. His story pushes the series further into the darker, stranger side of Allen's catalog, with human trafficking, a captive heroine, and a secret inside him that makes the whole thing feel more volatile. It is a good example of how the Dallas books connect to her wider universe without losing their own identity.

The Texas setting helps a lot. These books feel open, hot, and hard-edged, but there is also a sense of territory being reclaimed. Raptor is not only fighting for a woman. He is trying to establish a chapter with its own authority, reputation, and rules. That gives the series a nice layer beyond the individual romances.

If you want club romance with momentum, this is a strong choice. Start with Taming Raptor, move straight into Raptor's Revenge, and then follow the chapter into Sparking Ares. The Dallas books work best when you see how the chapter is built, threatened, and reshaped one story at a time.
