Blurb

I am a corrupt king, ruling a sinful empire.
I wasn’t born to the crown.
Nevertheless, I wear it well.

Aislinn Granville is the Crown Jewel of my empire—my queen.
To my enemies, she’s my Achilles heel—a perfect pawn.

Without her, I am a wounded warrior.
A ruthless, relentless beast.

There is nowhere she can be taken that I won’t find her.
No adversary I won’t crush to get her back.

Even if I have to burn this city to the ground.

 

 


Review

4.5 “You make me everything” stars!

The conclusion to the Wages of Sin duet, this book picks right up where Cruel Sanctuary left off, and it is an exciting, intriguing, dramatic ride with a heartstopping romance that is all kinds of sexy and beautifully emotional. I was swept right back up into Damon and Aislinn’s world, and I absolutely loved their journey!

The one woman I shouldn’t have has become the one woman I can’t live without.

In Cruel Sanctuary we saw Damon and Aislinn come together. It was far from conventional and not a bit romantic, but their draw to each other was undeniable, resulting in a whole lot of sexy time as the controlling King of the Underground met his match in feisty, intelligent and independent Aislinn. Their ‘relationship’ was tumultuous, and we were left with a nasty cliffhanger, but that dramatic moment leads in beautifully to this book as they come to realise exactly what they have come to mean to each other and they fight like hell to get it back.

Aislinn Granville is everything to me.
Every. Fucking. Thing.

This book is fast-paced, dramatic and really exciting. Told in dual POV, we get to see everything that Damon and Aislinn are going through, and I was right there with them as they lay it all out on the line for each other.

“I’m here with you, exactly where I want to be. Exactly where I belong.”

It’s beautifully romantic and surprisingly swoony, but most of all… it’s HOT! Damon is a bit of a beast in the sack – controlling, uninhibited and supremely talented, and sexy time is off the charts!

Right now, there is no distinction between need and want, necessity and luxury.
Aislinn Granville is both. And I want, need, must-fucking-have her.

And more than just sex, there’s a growing emotion between them that is beautifully explored as they come to realise just how deeply they have fallen, and their open-hearted discussions and emotional declarations had me lost in a world of swoon.

“I don’t know what it’s like not to love you, princess.”

But before they can claim their happy ending, they have a whole lot of hurdles to face – not only are they dealing with the ever-present dangers from the criminal world that they inhabit, but they have a newly discovered internal threat. All while they are figuring out how two such strong people can find a balance between their very different worlds to make a relationship work.

It’s a wild ride full of intrigue, suspense and excitement, and I was glued to my kindle as it all played out. I loved the ups and downs, I love how they were handled, and I love the character development for both Damon and Aislinn as they forged their middle ground to claim their HEA. Of course we know that Damon is a force to be reckoned with, but is just as strong, showing her badassery as the fierce heroine fighting for herself and her man, and she was absolutely fantastic!

There is an epilogue which finishes off their story beautifully, and an extended epilogue available if you sign up for the author’s newsletter that absolutely melted my heart – definitely worth it!

This is such a great duet. It started off well, and ended even better, and I loved it!

4.5 stars!
