Things take a different turn when Declan, who did not like her at first, suddenly became the head of his mafia gang after his predecessor died mysteriously. When this happened, he is forced to protect her from fierce enemies that await them as soon as they land. You make me believe in miracles, Riley Rose. When I’m with you, I feel like my life hasn’t been such a waste.” Be aware of warning signs of sex addiction. Sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, is considered such when your sexual urges and impulses begin to negatively impact your life. If you begin to feel overwhelmed by your sexual impulses, consider finding a counselor who can help you develop a treatment plan. Some warning signs to look out for include: All these tales of elegantly disaffected youth are a far cry from the genre’s inception, which came with a slew of similarly plotted Italian films in the late 70s and 80s that invariably depicted the cannibal as part of a far-flung tribe. With budgets low and splatter content high, these were proudly degenerate films that made sure to feature the C-word in their title and wore their viewers’ disgusted reactions as a badge of pride. The steam, people! THE STEAM. I died for it. I loved Sloane slowly work her quirky charm on Declan almost as much as I loved his dominant side completely own her in bed.

Sloane is awesome. She is self-assured and snarky. She is funny, crazy and completely badass. The narration was great. Like Ruthless Creatures, this one is narrated like a play or an old time radio show. I wish all books were done like this. Michelle Sparks did the voice of Sloane and she was perfect for the sarcastic and snarky woman. Troy Duran did the voice of Declan and he does an Irish accent as well as he does a Russian one. Brooke Daniels did the voice of Natalie and was wonderful as well. Fourth Wing put me in another slump and re-reading sloanedeclan’s diary helped me a little to get out of it again so it deserves bonus points for that. 🙏 The sooner this is over, the better. I’ve known her for all of two hours - half of that while she was unconscious - and I’m ready to shoot myself in the face.

Declan is the blue-eyed, handsome devil with an Irish accent to die for. He is possessive, and dominating, and does not like the way Sloane does her things at first. He feels her crawling up his skin, devouring his mind with her charms, and like most other men, he falls in love with her. But he is determined to tame her and would not hesitate to spank her if it came to it-literally.

Every time they have sex, he asks her something and she answers by saying “Sir” or “Master”. And he says, “Good girl!” That’s so not my scene! Every time she said that, I wanted to puke. Quite how much political subtext there was to their American counterparts – which tended to be straightforward blood-and-guts slashers – is up for debate, although plenty of people will tell you that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a fable about the consequences of industrial capitalism, or that The Hills Have Eyes is a rebuke to bourgeois America. Declan has no clue what he’s in for when he kidnapped this badass yoga instructor. He’s surprised every step of the way at how she’s able to handle it all while being calm. He’s never met anyone like her. The story is told in dual POV, and we get every bit of Declan’s snarky, dirty talking, Irish slang and see him struggle to not want his captive.When fire meets fire, it’s going to burn brightly. A woman in self preservation mode and a King who will steal her heart. She may not want to relinquish control but there can only be one master in the bedroom, and it will be him, one spank at a time. I fell in love with Sloane Keller and her strong, smart, sassy, personality in Ruthless Creatures. She is a woman who owns her sexuality and doesn’t feel bad about using men for her pleasure and always leaves them wanting more. Sloane and Declan arrive at the airport in Boston, but it is raining heavily. The gag Declan had placed in Sloane’s mouth to keep her from speaking has been removed, but the handcuffs remain. The game of chess between these Monsters and the Queens who love them is getting more complicated than ever. I am actually stunned by how things moved and changed in this entry to the series. I am SO intrigued about where things will go in Brutal Vow (book 4, coming next year), and what that will mean for our characters. In the fierce battle that ensues at the very beginning of the book, one thing they could not deny is their intense attraction for each other. Both felt it, and both were interested, but Declan did not like the way she made him feel. She was fierce, she was knowledgeable, and she was strong. And he was determined to tame her.

Malek is a ghost. A hired assassin and extremely lethal. Now avenging the death of his brother, he's unhinged and unstoppable. Dead inside, it all changes from the minute he spots and approaches Riley. Any rationality he may have possessed is gone. the smut- I feel bad now for saying that the first book had very choreographed sex scenes that felt disingenuous because this book proved to me the real meaning of those words. The kink here was so .. meh. And we got it over and over and over again. I couldn’t get on board with their proclivities in the bedroom ( not cause it was too kinky or anything like that, although it definitely tried to be) it just felt very perfunctory. Not to mention, I shouldn’t cringe when the hero is doing some Dom/sub thing and tell her to call him sir and master and whatnot. But I did cringe. A lot. Too much. I’ll take dirty talking Kage over call me master and let me flog you Declan at any given time.

I laugh. “Good one. How long did it take you to figure out how to use the internet to look that up, Grandpa?” I thought book 2 was gonna always be my hands-down favorite (Sloane really beats most h’s out there), but dang, book 3 killed my expectations. Plus, seeing previous characters make appearances and have their own chapters added lots of brownie points to this book💁🏻‍♀️. But I digress… Please stop shouting at me. I’m having a minor breakdown is all. Last week, I was living my nice quiet life in my nice quiet apartment in San Francisco. Since then, I’ve discovered that my sister is getting married to the head of the Irish Mob, and that I caught the eye of a notorious Russian assassin whose hobbies include stalking, appearing out of thin air, making wildly incorrect assumptions about people based on their wardrobes, and handing out large quantities of cash to strangers in restrooms. He’s also on a mission to kill my future brother-in-law. It’s been an eventful few days.”

Christ, Riley, you have to tell me what you need, or I can’t give it to you.

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗨𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀 is a captive, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, age gap romance with the best banter between the hero and heroine! This book had me laughing so hard.

Book 1 is the one I liked least in the series because I didn’t like Kage or Natalie much. There is not enough good banter in this book. One last thing I want to say is that I liked how Sloane and Declan's story ended but I didn't like the Epilogue told by Kage (Book 1's hero), which made me get really pissed at him.
