Debt By Nina G Jones

Buy Link: Debt

I don't know what I was thinking when I hired someone to attack me. Maybe I was bored, or lonely, or there was a void so deep inside of me that I needed something explosive to fill it.

It was supposed to be safe. A thrill. A way to break through the monotony of everyday life. It was an illusion of danger that I could walk away from as soon as it was over.

Except that it wasn't. Because I had been in danger long before I ever invited it into my life.

* * *

My mission is almost complete. The bubbling boil of vengeance that heats my blood might finally simmer.

She is the last piece of the puzzle. Once I destroy her, everyone who ever hurt me will have paid their debt.

It was supposed to be quick and easy, but as soon as I met her it got complicated.

Very complicated.

Ha, yes, you read the blurb right. She hires someone to rape her. Yes. 
This is the only thing that really fucking annoyed me with this book. Why would someone want that to happen to themselves, I can understand wanting someone to take control, make them vulnerable, but to label it as rape turned my stomach. I do think it's a disgrace to all rape victims out there. That's my only fault. 

The story line however, is brilliant. It had me completely consumed from the minute we find out he's not the person she hired. 

The back story to the novel is tragically heartbreaking. Two people from the wrong side of the tracks attacked, raped, beaten, degraded, and everything else while the people who did it got away with it. I couldn't handle reading these parts. There is more to it, but you'll have to read the book because I don't want to give it away. It does explain more as to why he wants revenge on her. 

There isn't anymore I can say because it will ruin the story for you, but it's a fantastic novel apart from my opinion at the beginning of the review, but don't let that stop you from taking a look. 

If rape, bullying, fighting, or stuff like that turn your stomach like it does mine when reading a novel then this one isn't for you. It's a dark read in places, but I'm still glad I read it as I liked they got their revenge in the end. Gave me some peace of mind.

One Love (Gypsy Brothers #7) By Lilli St Germain

Buy Link: One Love

Will Julz complete her mission for vengeance against the Gypsy Brothers? Or is Dornan still one step ahead? 

More shocking secrets will come to light and lives will be lost in this final, devastating instalment of the Gypsy Brothers series. 

The final installment of the Gypsy brothers. I have read this novel every release day, and the cliffhangers just kept getting better. 
It's not the end of the gypsy brothers, as Cartel is out soon, but it's the end to Jules and Dornan. 
I will admit, I was completely took off guard by the ending and so disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting a happy ever after, but I was expecting something more. Something than what it was. After all she had been through, I wanted something given to her, some answers, I don't know!!! 

Anyway, I understood when I read the authors note at the end of the book, SO MAKE SURE YOU READ IT..... That will explain why the ending is the way it is, which had me relaxing. I understood the book weren't about Jules and Jace but about Jules and Dornan. 

I did feel the book was cramped into such a short book, so it's a shame it wasn't separated into two parts. It was still good, very detailed. Also the part leading up to the ending was epic, I loved it. I don't think Lilli could have written that any better.

Angels In Leather By Bella Jewel

Buy Link: Angel's in leather

Love is never beautiful. 

It's dirty, and raw, and broken. That's what makes it perfect. It's two broken pieces forming together to make something whole, something worth fighting for. 

Axel Wraithe is my other piece. He's the biker who's been hunting me for a year, yet he's the one who can so easily break me. 

He wants what I have, and I want what he's got to give. Only he's fighting against himself, not willing to give it. 

He's got monsters in his heart, changing who he is, changing what he believes in. I'm the only one who can help him, and I won't stop until I've got the truth. 

I want to fix what's broken, but I can't do that without him. 

So I'll fight for my gorgeous, broken biker. I'll fight until our pieces fit back together.

Angel's in leather is the one book that had me having nightmares. I've read disturbing books, more so than this one, but there was something about it that really made my stomach twist and turn. I don't know whether it's because of the forced sexual acts or what, but it really played on my mind. Bella Jewel really knows how to get you to feel what is actually happening in the book. 

It isn't even the darkest read I've ever read, or the sickest. Which is why I found it weird this one played on my mind. 

I didn't really show much of an MC, even though Axel was in an MC. It was mostly about situations around it and all to do with what she had on him. 

I was surprised about certain surprises that came up, and yet again Bella Jewel throws us a curve ball making our assumptions of the book totally wrong. I honestly thought I had it all planned out right again, but then she threw us completely off towards the end with something no one could have guessed happening. 

To give you a snippet of what the book is about without giving too much away, I will tell you it's about two people who kind of grew up together. When Axel leaves suddenly she doesn't know why, she just knows he changed into someone she didn't recognize.

He comes back years later to save her, then he kills her father. Then she goes on the run with a memory stick with information her father wants her to keep safe.  

Like all her other books I can't tell you what goes on like what most people do in their reviews. It's a book you'll either love or hate. I have loved all her books so far and not one of her work has being predictable, original, or poorly written. 

I've rated it 4*

Number Thirteen By Bella Jewel

Buy Link: Number Thirteen

This isn't a dark romance, nor is it a light fluffy one. It's broken, and captivating, and a story of two people putting themselves back together. It's a story of a broken man who found his way to heal with Thirteen Girls. 

We're thirteen girls, captive to a man we rarely see. 
Obedience will become all we know. It is the only emotion we're permitted to feel. 
When we're bad, we're punished. When we're good, we're rewarded. Our scars run deep. Yet we survive, because we have to, because HE teaches us too. 
All of us are special, we feel it with everything we are. 
He has us for a reason, but it's a reason we don't know. 
We've haven't seen his face, but we know that something deeply broken lies beneath the darkness. With every touch, with every punishment, we know it. 
Then came the day he saved my life, and I saw him for the first time. He released something inside of me. 
He showed me who he truly is. 
Now I want him. 
I'll go against Everything I know to be with him. 
A monster. 
My monster. 
Loving him is a sin, but a sinner I am. 
I won't stop until I see every part of him. 
Even the parts he keeps locked deep down inside. 
I am Number Thirteen, and this is my story.

I don't even know how to start with this book. I was kind of confused what was going on with it. Like where had the girls come from? Why was they taken? I tried so hard and I honestly thought I'd guessed not even a quarter of the way through, but I was completely wrong. I was no where near giving it the right guess. I'm still not entirely sure if I've got why he did it right, but hopefully I have. 

The girls are all numbered, none of called by name and are treated good and bad through the book. 
 I was a little skittish on my view of William, but after a while you could see he was generally trying to do some good in the word. 
While I'm on the subject of William I could not believe what had happened to him. It made me physically sick thinking of what thoses bullies did to him. I felt so deeply for him and I can now understand why he did with the girls. 

I can't give out too much as it would ruin the plot. But like I say, never go by my word, these books aren't for everyone. They're dark, kind of twisted and roughless. That said, the book was flawless and had true meaning behind it. Even only a few other people viewed certain things the same.

Playing Patience By Tabatha Vargo

Buy Link: Playing Patience

Sometimes all you need is Patience. 

Life’s been hard for Zeke. Being a punching bag for his alcoholic father has turned him into stone. Not even the dodgy trailer park he lives in can scare him. Fighting is his release and sex, drugs, and his guitar bring him peace, but deep down Zeke isn’t quite as hard as he makes himself out to be. When he meets Patience, she finds all his broken pieces and puts him back together, but she’s a ray of light in his shadowed life and the last thing he wants to do is bring her into his dark world. Playing careless is easy, playing the bad guy can be fun, but playing Patience is impossible, especially when she can see right through him. 

Zeke isn’t the only one who’s broken, and for the first time, in a long time, Patience feels alive. Her black and white world gets a shot of color when she meets Zeke. He’s unlike anyone she’s ever met with his tattoos, piercings, and blunt honesty. She wants nothing more than to let go and ride the wild side with him, but some wounds never heal and the broken pieces of Patience aren’t so easy to find. 

Playing Patience isn't your typical school romance. It's deep, it's dark, and it's shockingly stomach turning. 
When I first read this I couldn't believe what I was reading. As a mother, I could never imagine hurting my kids physically or mentally and I don't even want to get into sexually. 
Zeke has being his dad's punching back from as long as he can remember. The abuse has hardened him out of his trailer. He doesn't let anyone in, doesn't let anyone see the abuse he receives. 
I really liked him. I could understand why he acted the way he did with Patience at times, but then at others, I wondered what the hell he was thinking. 

Like all the other reviews I had read I will say the ending is really rushed. We don't get answers to what we want to know. I mean, there must have been a case as to why the dad was shot dead etc. And how Zeke never got caught in the case. I dunno, the ending all seemed rushed, especially when the rest of the book dragged in places. It repeated on it self a few times also. 

Other than that, the seriousness of the book is heartbreaking. It's just shocking to read. How a parent, or pretty much anyone could do this to someone else is beyond any words I could give you. I think the author handles the situation well and doesn't overdo it or over step the mark.

Burying Water by K.A.Tucker

Buy Link: Burying Water

Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him?

Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.

The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

Before I start with review I would like to take the time to say, other followers of my blog have asked me to give examples out when I comment about something. I don't usually go by other people's reviews, but because of the price I needed to read reviews before purchasing. 

Burying water came across as a recommendation on Amazon. I looked at the blurb and thought WOW! This looks intriguing, but then I read it and it's plain and simple story. 

Don't get me wrong, I loved the story, but for the price it currently is, I don't think it's that worth it. 

I think loads of the ARC reviewers, or betas have hyped this up to be something it clearly isn't.

"This is a fun, flirty, super sexy love story that offers all of the best of opposites attracting. K.A. Tucker's writing is engaging, witty, and endearing just like her characters." --Jay Crownover "New York Times bestselling author "

This statement is written on the actual description part on amazon. I'd like to put a few things out here. One it's not fun. There is nothing in this story or about this story that is fun. Trust me. Flirty? Kind of I suppose when it goes onto Jesse's POV where he meets Water AKA Alex. Super Sexy? Not much, but it does have some sex scenes.  Witty? Nothing in this novel is really funny or though some parts made me smile, like when Water would say something she'd said before she lost her memory. 

"Burying Water was something fresh and exciting from K.A. Tucker."

This I half agree with. It is something new, but no where near exciting as this review talks about. 

The story alternates between the past and present. As much as I liked knowing both stories, it was too predictable and found the past scenes dragged too long for my liking. It was obvious what had happened from the beginning. I am happy she included it as we got to feel the connection between the two characters. I just with that in the present she would have rewritten their connection. That's how the blurb comes across to me. That she falls in love all over again for him. That their love was meant to be because even with her memory erased, she still found him in her heart again. It didn't quite go like that which was a disappointment. 

I loved Water AKA Alex's personality, it was obviously clear that no matter what she had always been herself, because she woke up the same person, but with just no memory. 

One thing, which I haven't gone back to, to copy on here was a comment made by Gabe, Jesse's dad about his mom not finding out, but his mom new who she was all along. Unless I misread it. 

I also loved Ginny, the old lady Water goes to stay with after she leaves the hospital. I loved how they were together. How they mended each other. It also pained me when their relationship ended. 

I will say this, I'd wait for price to go down before purchasing it. You'd be able to buy the book on paper back for a few pound more and own it. As an author myself I also know that Kindle on pays us a certain % which isn't a lot. But I know as a reader we don't own these Mobi versions. We don't own that book that's downloaded on to our kindle. If we did, we could lend it out right, but you can't. Amazon could remove all books and there's nothing anyone could do as we are- kind of like- renting them I suppose. 

Moving a side, the story was beautiful. Places were hard to read, but I muddled through. The ending was beautiful. Simple, but beautiful.

3* Well done K.A.Tucker for bringing us a fresh read.  

Two Roads (Gypsy Brothers #6 By Lili St Germain

Buy Link: Two Roads

Juliette and Jase may be out of Dornan's immediate reach, but as tensions rise, will they end up walking right into the enemy's trap? 

Can Juliette forgive Jase for his devastating betrayal, or will it destroy everything they've been fighting for? 

I will have to write an honest review. I understand these are short story's and only VOLUMES, but this one ended too quickly. I also didn't feel like there was anything of importance really, other than a few things, the rest dragged. I also found the author repeating the characters feelings over and over again. It got to me. 

It wasn't as good as all the others. It didn't get me on edge like the rest did. I felt like it was plain in comparison to the rest.

Now for the good stuff, because this series is freaking awesome. 

I had actually cried in this one, I mean, really, really cried. 

The ending, just like the other's, ended with a WTF cliffhanger. LOL. 

I couldn't understand what the hell was going on. So I'm excited to read what is going to happen next and if Julz and Jase get their happy ending. Also Dornan doesn't take it lying down either, he does something not even I expected. Well, I knew he was capable of doing it, I just never saw it coming in this novel. Cryptic? Has to be, it's the best part of the book bein's the first half dragged a little.

Fracture(Blood and roses Book Two) By Callie Hart

Buy link: Fracture

Zeth Mayfair is pretty much the very last thing I need in my life. And yet with every breath I take he becomes more engrained in every aspect of it: 

He has a key to my house. 

He knows where I work. 

He dumped his strange, mentally traumatized housemate on my doorstep and has driven off into the sunset in search of my missing sister. 

I want to forget him. Want to change the locks and blot out his face, scourge his very name from my memory. The problem is that I also need him. I need him more than I need air to breath, and I can’t be without him now. 

He owns me. 

He torments me. 

He’s fractured me.

I don't even know where to begin. I though the last book was seriously smoking hot but in this novel, it takes it up to a completely new level. The sex scenes are hotter than a volcano. Trust me. 

Another Blood and Roses novel and I couldn't put it down. Loved it. 

Sloane, fights back a little in this book, but the more she struggles to break through on getting to know the man who has taken her virginity, the more Zeth pulls away from her. 

We also get a surprise in this one about Lacey. We still don't know much about her. She's still a complete mystery. 

It ends with Sloane and Zeth both in danger. Well, could be. We don't know. I can't wait to read the third installment and find out. What a great series.

Deviant (Blood and Roses) By Callie Hart

Buy link: Deviant

Sloane

I'm not proud of the things I've done.
The things I've had to do.
The things I've given away.
but I'd give it all over again to find her.

Even if i die trying,
I have to find Alexis.


Zeth

She wants me to help her,
But I won't.
She wants me to save her sister,
But I can't.
She wants me to be her hero,
But I'm not a good man.

I am her damnation.

Wasn't sure about this book when I first saw it. The fact it was free is in fact the only reason I brought it. Let me say this, I'm so glad I downloaded it. 

Deviant is only a short story, but my God I was completely gripped from the first chapter. 

It's starts off with Sloane, she's trying to find her sister and she sells her virginity to a PI to get information basically. Only the person she ends up with know's more about her than she knows. There is a reason for him being there. 

Zeth is still a mystery in the novel. 

It ends with a cliffhanger. Not the best, but it got me getting the next. 

The sex in this novel shows it's a dark erotica. I can't wait to read the next ones.

Slade: Captive to the dark By Alaska Angelini

Buy link: Slade captive to the dark

MARY is the perfect tool to use against the man who took his sister, Lily. What better way to exact retribution from Governor Hagen and force him to bring Lily back, than to steal his own daughter and threaten to sell her as a sex slave, too? But, even the best laid plans don’t always go smoothly. Slade ends up falling for his captive, and is faced with a decision that might just cause him to lose the one thing he doesn’t want to let go. 

SLADE is every bit the animal he portrays. Dominant, dark, unbending, and possessive—her own personal predator. Mary can’t help but be drawn to the soul deep darkness in him. It calls to her like nothing she’s ever felt before. 

When her father bends to Slade’s will and releases Lily, will Mary be allowed to walk away and follow her father's plans to marry another, or will Slade make her a captive to the dark…forever?

I really enjoyed this book.

Just like anyone, you'd do what you can to save your family. That is exactly what Slade does for his own sister. He kidnaps Mary to save her. 

Only he wasn't meant to fall in love with her....

I love both characters in the novel and couldn't help but feel bad towards both of them. Neither have had a very good upbringing. 

Mary has issues and in this novel we learn it is all down to her father. She's so out of the loop with what her family was into that it was upsetting. I felt really bad for her being caught in the middle of a war zone. 

Then we have Slade. He's been looking for a way to get his sister back and he finally has his prayers answered when he takes Mary. Only, he didn't expect to want her. He wanted to hurt her father after everything they've done to him and his sister. 

The story has some seriously dark scenes, which I wouldn't recommend to sensitive readers. 

I gave the novel a 3* as the only negative I could get from the book was I wish the ending gave us more. I had so many questions that went unanswered and it kind of ruined the ending for me. 

The Tied Man By Tabitha McGowan

Buy link: The tied Man

Lilith Bresson, an independent, successful young artist, is forced to travel from her home in Spain to the wild borderlands of northern England, to repay her feckless father’s latest debt by painting a portrait of the enigmatic Lady Blaine Albermarle. 
On her first night at Albermarle Hall she meets Finn Strachan, Blaine’s ‘companion’, a cultured and hauntingly beautiful young man who seems to have it all. But Lilith has an artist’s eye, and a gift for seeing what lies beneath the skin. She soon discovers that Blaine is more gaoler than lover, and if the price is right, depravity has no limits. 
As the weeks pass, Lilith finds that she too is drawn into the malign web that her patron has spun, yet against the odds she forges a strong friendship with the damaged, dysfunctional Finn. In a dark, modern twist to an age-old story, Lilith Bresson proves that sometimes it’s the princess who needs to become the rescuer. 
Please note that this storyline contains depictions of drug abuse, violence and non-consensual sex.

The Tied man had me curious since I read a few reviews. Reviews that referred him to Archer By Mia Sheridan. I can see why they did now because just like Archer, you grow an attachment to Finn and so desperately want to protect him.

I found some parts of the stomach sickening and was glad some of it never went into much detail, otherwise this book would never have left my mind. I would have been having nightmares over a boy named Finn who needed saving. 

It's a compelling dark read, with a lot of disturbing scenes, but you can't help but carry on reading, wanting, no needing, to find out what will happen. 

It was like both Lillith and Finn both had a chain to that castle because of Blaine. Who by the way I really bloody hate. She's the ring leader into what happens within those walls and has no mercy on anyone. She's like the devil.

The writing really made a change to the usual I read. It was set in Britain and also written in English(UK). I'm so used to reading USA writing that it really was a change. It felt like I was listening to a friend talk. I think it's why the book felt so real. 

I want to say it's a beautiful story, but it's not. The story behind it however is completely beautiful. Two people falling in love without intimacy. Finn thinks Lillith is saving her, but deep down he saves her too. 

4* 

Warning: This novel contains strong language, disturbing scenes of violence and rape. I do advice strongly that you are 18 and above before reading this.      

Unmasked Volume two By Cassia Leo

Buy link: Unmasked Volume two

I left my former life – and my mask – behind. 

Running from a past where I was born unloved. A past where I was betrayed by love. 

Running from an organization with limitless power and stealth. Running for my life. 

I never expected to find love on the run. Not in a tiny seaside town on an island in the middle of nowhere. 

Not without my mask. 

But it seems as if my sad story is being rewritten with someone else’s pen. But whose pen is it? 

This question haunts me day and night. And I get my answer on a perfectly decadent evening. When I come home to find my bedroom perfumed with the scent of death. 

He’s here.

Ahhhhh, short story, short review. 

I couldn't put it down. 

It was read within the hour, like always, and I was completely annoyed when it come to an end. 

I'm seriously annoyed that she has jumped into bed with someone else so quickly. 

But WOW!! Cassia Leo sure know's how to keep us gripped to a story. I feel like I just get into it, them bam THE END!! Keeping up to date with this series though. 

Oh, and the price thing is an issue. For such a short novel, I wouldn't charge so much for it. £1.81 I personally think is to much for something so short. I wouldn't be surprised if Cassia has loads of refund made out with this one. People like they're money well spent, not something that they read within an hour. Sorry Cassia, just voicing my opinion, at least it's not a bad review though huh? ;~)

Unmasked By Cassia Leo

Buy link: Unmasked: vol one

I was born into this world unwanted. 

I spent the first hours of my life unloved. 

I spent the first eighteen years of my life with the parents who tried to shelter me from the harsh reality of my existence. 

But you can’t un-write a sad story if the ending is literally written all over your face. 

So I moved out and now I hide. I have a night job that pays the bills. Every night, I put on my mask and walk to work. 

Then one night, I hear and see something that will change my purpose in life... forever: a murder that will bring him to me. 

He says he wants to protect me. And, through a series of events I can’t fully make sense of, I find myself believing him. 

But our nightly visits are always cloaked in darkness. I don’t know his face and he will never know mine. 

I was born into this world unwanted. I will leave this world unmasked.

Ahhhhh, I literally read this within the hour of purchasing. I couldn't put it down it was that good. From the moment I started to the minute I finished. 

She's got a skin disorder, with defective eyes. She doesn't go out in the day light and she doesn't have any friends. When she witnesses a crime, she ends up becoming friends with the detective, but they only meet in the dark. 

I'm kind of classing this as a dark read, although its not, i feel like it will be becoming that. It had such an epic ending, that I'm hoping we dont have to wait long for the next installment.

There isnt much I can say about the book without giving something away and I don't want to ruin the novel for anyone. Let's just say though that there are a few things I NEVER saw coming and was completely flabbergasted when it was done.

Only pretend By Nora Flite

Buy link: Only pretend

I had a plan. I also had no family, no friends, and definitely no jerk of an ex-boyfriend who thought I was boring. 
I was tired of being me. 
In Vegas, I could be anything. 

And then I saw him. 
His hungry smile wanted a taste of the new me. 
Only a boring person would have said no. 

It was reckless to follow a stranger to his bed. Dangerous to take the drink he handed me. I thought the worst regret I'd have would be a hangover, a walk of shame through the hotel. 

Except I didn't wake up in the hotel. 
Or in Vegas. 

I doubt my face will end up in the news. “Woman missing,” the headline would say. “A stupid person who thought she could be someone else.” 

I'm not someone else. I was only playing pretend. 

Too bad he was playing for keeps. 

This is a dark read and wouldn't recommend to people who are sensitive to certain issues. 

As you can tell from Blurb it's about a woman who gets broken up with by her long term boyfriend, then goes out to be spontaneous. To have fun. To not be boring like he called her. She changed her hair, puts on some clothes and makeup and heads to Vegas where she is determined to have some fun. 

Only that fun lead her to a life she wasn't prepared for. 

When Celeste meets Leonide she finds him dark, and mysterious. Well what you see is what you get. When she went out looking for a new life she never expected to wake up in another country, captured, and used for a certain training. 

He wants to train her to be the wife he needs for his clients.... only Celeste is determined not to let him break her. 

What happens when two strong minded people get put together? they collide. Read about their story and how it ends ..... its a fantastic read

Four score By Lilli St. Germain

Buy link: Four score

This story unfolds over seven volumes approx. 25 - 30,000 words each. 

Love and hate aren’t all that different. 

Two sides of the same coin, the yin and the yang. 

Once upon a time, Jason Ross loved me. And now that he's in danger of figuring out what I've done, I see the love and the hate warring within him. 

I see the way he looks at me. 

The way he wonders how I could do the things I’ve done. 

I hear it in the way he begs me to stop, to leave his father and this life and never look back. 

But there’s only one way I’m leaving LA. 

And that’ll be when Dornan and the rest of his sons are dead and buried. 

Four score is literally the quickest one to read out of the series. It had taken me all of half of an hour to get through it. 

I was hoping for more in this novel so I was disappointed when we dont get to read much more. 

Though, that said this has to be the one with biggest cliff hanger. Holy hell I screamed. The fact I have to wait now until July for Three years is another matter. I NEED! to know what happens. 

Lillie how could you do this to us? ahhh 

I can't even see Jace being able to save the day and I think thats the sad part. Hopefully she gets her revenge and all is good in Jules world. 

Fingers crossed ......

My father taught me the importance of an eye for an eye—a cardinal rule, ingrained in every club member. 

A life for a life. 

Seven lives in payment for an unimaginable list of sins. 

People might wonder why I’m doing this. If this vengeance is borne from some noble cause, that I’m trying to prevent others from suffering at the hands of Dornan Ross and his sons. 

But I’m no vigilante. 

I’m doing it for me. I’m doing it because I want to. Because the look on Maxi and Chad’s faces when I killed them was a balm to my soul. 

This is the fate they have earned. The penance for their crimes. 

Two down, five to go. 

Time to send some of these brothers off with a bang.

Dimitri Sokolov is a man scarred, physically and emotionally. From the rough streets of Moscow to the highest ranks in the Solntsevskaya Bratva, he has seen it all. 

An attack four years ago left him disfigured and in seclusion, hiding from reactions to his appearance and in safety from those who failed to kill him the first time. 

Comfortable in his penthouse, managing his billion dollar businesses, he's resigned himself to be alone, simply called The Beast among those who've dealt with him in the past. 

Columbia Grey is a pseudo-activist trying to save her neighbourhood from a developer intent on levelling it to build apartment towers. She goes along with a plan to confront the CEO of the company on his own turf, to force him to listen to her demands...all in a pathetic attempt to impress a man she barely likes. 

Little does she know, she's taken herself into the mouth of the beast, a man familiar with death and destruction, sex and seduction, a man used to getting exactly what he wants and a man with nothing left to lose. 

She's a beauty, but will that be enough to tame the beast and save her life?
