Safe no ow/om drama although the H is jealous of om that is trying to rescue her - does not cause separation; h not a virgin; no real info whether the H is a manwhore or not - I did not get that impression

Aye, baby. Mine. And these.” He slides his hand up my belly to my left breast, which he also squeezes, then the right, thumbing over my nipples until they’re aching for his mouth. After a while, he speaks again. This time his tone has changed. It’s grown dark. “Don’t try to run away.”As for the plot, I thought it was not a mess like Carnal Urges and had a slighly more coherent plotline. It ties loose ends from the previous books (Diege etc.) so that was a plus. Some parts were still repetitive. How you appear is really important. Your clothes say a lot about your personality. So assert your dominance by dressing like you came out of a Fairytopia Barbie movie.

So, Carnal Urges is the second installment in Geissinger’s Queens & Monsters series and it tells the love story between Sloane Keller and Declan O’Donnell, two people from two different worlds that meet when Declan, who belongs to the Irish mafia, kidnaps Sloane, who supposedly started a war between all his enemies. But Sloane is not the typical kidnapee, she is not afraid and she does not take any shit from anyone. Especially Declan. That surprises him and also is what starts their crazy chemistry. Their banter and sexual tension are turning into something either expected. What will happen when they are forced to face the consequences of that attraction? This aspect didn't bother me as much as in Carnal Urges, since I knew not to take the mafia part of this series too seriously, but it's still laughable. These people are so hopeless, I feel so embarassed for them. She inhales, closing her eyes and swallowing. When she opens her eyes again, I know it’s war. I’ve seen hardened killers look less psychotic. My smile makes her gnash her teeth. This series is trying to be kinky so badly, but it just doesn't fit to the characters. First the BDSM in Carnal Urges and in this book we have Malek calling himself 'Daddy' and I'm scared. Unfortunately the downfall of most romance novels with good drama are lousy (a.k.a lazily written) FMC’s…

This year I'm reading a bit from my shelves of books that I already own and I was super excited to read more by this author. Plus, I enjoy mafia type books and this appears to be a little bit lighter with that aspect, but will be a good journey. This book is like SUPER HOT (which I like) with GREAT BANTER (which I also like)...but also minimal plotting if any, nothing that happens really makes sense if you stop to think about it. It's very much the Julia Quinn model of romance writing--- great banter and chemistry, not much happens. (fair warning, this book is a million times hotter than anything JQ has ever written.) He's never met anyone like Sloane before, resilient, fearless, annoying with an extreme case of verbal diarrhoea making him pity her previous boyfriends. She's a raging banshee who eats men's sanity for supper. She's playing over ways to kill him as painfully and slowly as possible in her mind. That's more of a personal preference, but I wasn't a huge fan of the smut. The BDSM wasn't hardcore, but ehh still wasn't great. I can take it if the H is called "Sir" in bed, but I hate the word "Master".. so I was like nope peace out. 🏃🏻‍♀️ The book begins with a scene that continues from Book 1 so if you haven’t read Book 1, don’t start the series with this one, read Book 1 first.

I’m not going to tell you what happens 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t want to ruin the surprise for you, so you’re just going to have to read the rest yourself BUT I promise you won’t be disappointed! I’m not a man-hater. I think men are pleasant distractions. If the rest of my life is the main course, men are desserts. Enjoyable, forgettable treats.” Because mental health problems aren’t a choice. You, on the other hand, are deliberately an asshole.” Why is that? Is there really such a big demand for BDSM from some readers that almost everyone is trying to include that in their romance books to a certain level?! Even if so, they are risking losing their devoted fans.Please be quiet. My inner demons are demanding that I kill you, and I want to hear what they have to say.” Compared to her estranged crazy-ass sister Sloane, Riley appears to be a wallflower. When her sister calls to invite Riley to her wedding, she accepts the olive branch being offered. Whisked away on a private jet to an unknown destination, Riley finds herself in the path of a Russian madman. She agrees to go out one night with her loud,ballsy, mouthy, best friend Sloane, to drown her sorrows over the two days that would have been her wedding anniversary.

It has deep emotions. It has fun banter. The plot line is good. There were moments I got really excited. As a matter of fact, I was never bored. In a mafia book, this is very unusual for me. And for the first time in this series I felt the emotions. I believed how much they loved each other. The tumultuous roller coaster in the last quarter helped. I also think because it was a slow burn. Sloane props herself up on her elbows and gazes at me thoughtfully. “We might be looking at this the wrong way.” My fav part was when they were at his cabin in Russia and he took care of Riley and gave her baths every night. He was honestly a real sweetheart.🥺 The Story: While dating Stavros, some Irish men hit on Sloane and made digs at the Russians she was with. A gunfight started and the Irish men died. This started a war between the Russian and Iris mafia. Though Sloane broke up with Stavros, the Head of the Irish mafia demanded to meet Sloane. Declan flew to New York and kidnapped her when she was on a visit to her bestie, Natalie.Well, between you, me, and Nat, we have the three most powerful men in the US and Russia totally pussy whipped.” I’m probably going to die with only you for company. Can you blame me for being upset?” His eyes are narrowed, doubtful, arctic blue.
