This is my fav book in this series so far, and it got a 4.25 star rating from me! I love how Tyson already knew Lake in a way since he was previously married to her [dead but not dead] sister. Lake's growth in this book was everything, I loved her sm and I love how she grew to love Tyson. I hated Luke and Whitney sm, they should have died sooner in the book but that sadly did not happen. Tyson was amazing to Lake as he grew to genuinely care about her, especially when she was kidnapped and was presumed dead. I recommend this book and series to EVERYONE who loves dark romances with a lot of smut.
Quotes:
- “Love? It doesn’t sound so foreign anymore. If loving someone means you’d burn the world to protect them, then I love her.”
- “As blood is my oath, you will forever belong to me and I to you.”
- “Why? Because the villain doesn’t give two shits about the world. All he cares about is the one thing that calms his demons, and that person for me is Lake. If I don’t have her, they take control, and all they know is to destroy.”
- “Welcome to hell, little darling. You’ll only be able to crawl as far as my chains will allow you.”
- “This will be your only warning. Don’t put your hands on my wife. Ever.”
- “I just want her son to bend me over, spank my ass, and call me his good fucking slut while his cock pounds into my throbbing pussy until I come all over it.”
- “If loving someone means you’d burn the world to protect them, then I love her.”
- “It’s a different level of hell, but I have all the control. I’m the devil now and will choose who burns.”
- “I want you to feel me holding you down. I want you to hear yourself gasping for breath when I force you to come. And I want your eyes on mine while I make you cry. I’ll never drug you, Lake, because I don’t need you compliant. You’re now my wife, and I can take whatever I want from you.”
- “A set of baby-blue eyes meet mine, and my stomach drops. The wind knocked out of me. I haven’t seen them in years, but they’ve haunted my dreams ever since.”
- “Tyson isn’t the kind of guy that you call baby or sweetie. No, you kneel and call him sir or god. Fuck, I’d call him daddy if that’s what he was into.”
- “Say your vows, little darling,” he orders roughly. “Remind me that you belong to me.” “I vow.” I manage to get out as my hips hit the Lords’ table. My hands reach out in front of me, needing to hang on to something, but there’s nothing there, so I slap them on the surface. “You vow,” he growls before his teeth sink into my neck, making my breath hitch and my body break out in goose bumps. “We vow,” we both say, and my eyes fall closed as his free hand wraps around my waist and holds me tightly as the ground comes out from underneath”
- “I live for my Lord, and I trust him with my life.”
- “Oh my God.” She gasps, her hands gripping the sleeves of my crisp button-up. I lean forward, my lips gently kissing her parted ones, tasting the lingering wine on hers. “I am the only god you will worship, little darling.”
- “I choose you,” I say, feeling the butterflies in my stomach at the way his eyes devour my chest. He’s starving, and I want to be his offering. I’d willingly be his sacrifice. Make me yours.”
Tropes:
- Enemies to Lovers
- Secret Society
- Revenge Romance
- Pregnancy Trope
