For The Love of Villains: Anthology by Alex King

5.0

 As I read the stories, my review will reflect my thoughts and ratings on each book. For now, this is for His Inception by Des Sweet.

This is a very, very short (but not on the spice) enemies-to-lovers mafia story. You need to read this story, and I'm sure the rest of these stories as well!

Thank you for the ARC! I am leaving this review voluntarily. All opinions are my own.

What a brilliantly dark anthology! While I recommend this entire collection, my review is for His Inception by Des Sweet. This short story is an introduction to the MMC and MFC in His Queen (which is out in the wild, so grab it!). I loooove morally gray angry characters with a hidden agenda and Christian fills that role perfectly. Readers are briefly introduced to Quinn and are quickly handed a pages long spicy scene that will have them hooked on this couple and wanting to read what happens next with them!

 His Inception - Des Sweet

5 Out of 5 Stars 

Mafia Romance. 

Quinn is a mafia princess, who is off-limits to everyone. Christian has fought his destiny for so long but finally accepts that the mafia is going to be his life. Now he wants it all, from the mafia to the mafia princess. 

This is the second book I have read from Des Sweet. I love the way that she writes. Like her other work, this story is a page-turner. A book that you cannot put down. I cannot wait to read the next book from this series called His Queen.

Review:

I have to say, right from the dedication page, I was hooked…and new it would by spicy. I was correct, there was spice.

This a prequel. Will I be reading the full length book? Absolutely.

Christian and Quinn have a past…do they have a present and future? Read His Queen, to see what’s in store for Christian and Quinn.

*I received His Inception for free, and I am leaving an honest and voluntary review*

For the Love of Villains: Anthology the book I read was entitled, Sons and Daughters of Sin by R.E Johnson. This book was such a great, quick read. The spice was top tier and really well done. But I’m bias because I’m a fan of this author and of the writing style. The plot was interesting and I hope this story will get expanded in a full length book. The plot was addicting and I couldn’t put my kindle down. I will mention checking your trigger warnings to be on the safe side. Another great book from RE Johnson. 

Final review:

This review is for My Darkest Knights by Alisha Williams and Cassie Lein. Amber has had a very, very hard life since she was abducted from her parents' home. She is rescued and is ready to begin her new life, but did she end up better off or not? I can't wait to find out!
