Twisted Rage is releasing May 11, 2022!

Twisted Heartbreak

Life separated us. 
Destiny tied me to her. 
Obsession drove me mad. 
I knew they all hurt her. What I didn't understand is how deep . . . 
Seven years ago, they ripped her from me—my father. The friends I made at school. Jealousy drove all of those bastards into conspiring against us. 
And they won. 
I almost killed myself after losing her. 
Now I live for only three things:
I will destroy everyone who hurt her. 
I will find her. 
I'll become the biggest monster ever known to accomplish those things. 
I'm at the head of my father's empire now. A corporate king. I'm ready to finally put in place the plan I've been working on for years. 
I'm ready to find my Lexi. 
What I didn't realize is that she had already found me.

Twisted Rage

This isn't how our story ends. 
No. This murder we've just committed? 
This is how our story truly begins . . . 
I told myself I was going to save her. 
I didn't realize what a lie that was. 
This neurosis has sunk in too deep. All it took was one glimpse of another man inside her for the beast that murdered Barnard to finish consuming me. 
I've turned her into killer. 
Just like me. 
With every corroded, toxicity-infested sin laid bare between us, all that's left is revenge. 
And the chasm of diabolical need that tethers us. 
A need to consume each other. 
A need to make our enemies pay. 
They stole seven years from us. Every ounce of sanity we had left. 
Now, we're going to steal everything from them. 
Most of all, we won't stop until every single one of them is dead. 
I told myself I was going to save Lexi . . . in reality, I've finished ruining her. 
And she would have it no other way.

Warning: this series is not for everyone. As the story progresses, dark themes are explored that might be a trigger for some. Please read at your own discretion. Definitely 18+.

Obsession by Dani Wyatt and Nikolai Andrew

Obsession by Dani Wyatt and Nikolai Andrew is the third book in the Royally Hot series and can be read as a standalone since the characters have no connection to the other stories released thus far. I really enjoyed the author's take on erotic historical romance because I was quite invested in the plot, character development, and romance. Anika and Maksim are "step-siblings" but the reality is that they are not. Her mother married his uncle so there is some connection or relation between them. Anika does call Maksim her "brother" and he his "sister" so there is that taboo/forbidden element to the story. The attraction and sexual chemistry between these two was always present and palpable throughout the book. Even though Maksim treated Anika harshly and cruelly in front of others, he was also in love with her at the same time. Similarly, Anika was intensely attracted to Maksim but hated him because of his disdain towards her. The theme of love and hate being two sides of the same coin can be applied to their relationship.

"I hated her as much as I loved her. She stripped me of all my control, of all my sanity."

In addition to the romance, the plot played a significant role in the development of their relationship as Anika's mother and Maksim's uncle sought to control and marry her off to a neighboring country with Maksim going crazy because of it. All this time, he was treating her coldly and cruelly to keep her safe but it was all in vain. With this in mind, Maksim decides to claim Anika as his. At the same time, Anika is resolved to escape her predicament no matter the cost. The push and pull between Maksim and Anika had to be my favorite aspect of this book. When they finally decided to consummate their relationship, it was dirty, erotic, and incredibly sexy. Maksim had a darker side to him and he was ready to unleash it on Anika.

"I feared him. I loved him. I despised him. I needed him."

In the end, I really enjoyed this book and am now curious about the other books in this series. This was previously published as Royal Obsession and although I remember reading that book, it seems like this re-release has added additional story content and an epilogue—which I really enjoyed and appreciated. If you are looking for a spicy historical romance with a dirty talking hero who is obsessed with his heroine, I highly recommend this book. The love and hate they had for each other made for some sizzling scenes as they came to terms with their feelings for one another.

Rating: ★★★★☆

King of Spades by Alta Hensley

We first met Nick Hudson and Lyriope Bailey in Silver Bells, a short story featured in Meet Me Under the Mistletoe. King of Spades is their story and expands on their dark and dirty entanglement as Lyriope navigates the dangerous world of Bishop's Landing. Lyriope happens to be the illegitimate daughter of Bryant Morelli and this secret has made her an unwilling pawn in the running feud between the Constantine and Morelli families. As with most books, I like focusing on the romance and chemistry between the characters and the sexual tension between Lyriope and Nick was so palpable and electric that it had me wanting more. Much of the book was a huge tease because Nick was playing games with Lyriope. While I did find them titillating, I was also frustrated by it because of the subsequent sex scenes that we got. They were sexy and taboo but not something that I personally enjoy reading.

"Nothing about what I'll expect from you will be simple. Nothing about me or our situation is ordinary."

If you like your anti-heroes possessive, dirty, dark, dangerous, and a little bit crazy then Nick Hudson definitely has that in spades. I was certainly surprised by him and the lengths he would go to keep Lyriope. As for Lyriope, she was incredibly stubborn, prideful, and defiant. Her attraction to Nick forever changes her world as she is thrust into his deviant mind games with no way out. In many ways, Nick is the Mad Hatter and Lyriope is Alice in Wonderland. This is simply the beginning for these two and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds, especially because Lyriope's "contract" with Nick is still in play. Nick is dirty and unapologetic about his mind games and while Lyriope is innocent in many ways, there is no denying that she is his perfect match because these two burned up the pages.

"He's the villain. He's the monster in the story. He's not my knight in shining armor."

In the end, I enjoyed reading Lyriope and Nick's story and will be highly anticipating Queen of Hearts. The book ends with a cliffhanger and Lyriope is between crossroads—choosing to stay in the safety of Nick's arms or freedom. Although she is fiercely attracted to him, Lyriope is also independent and prefers solving her own problems. Fans of the Midnight Dynasty world will enjoy this surprising addition to the Morelli side of the family. Although Lyriope and Nick's story can be read separately and is a standalone series, I highly recommend reading Lucian's (The Monster and the Doll), Leo's (Beast of Bishop's Landing), and Tiernan's (Dangerous Temptation) books for additional context.
