He’s everything I hate. And he’s going to break me. I thought I could take the law into my hands. I was wrong. When I trespassed in the territory of the FBI’s most wanted, I thought I’d earn respect, maybe even a promotion. Instead, I was caught.He’s going to strip me of everything — my clothes, my pride, my limits. He’s going to make me endure discipline and worse than that, pleasure.I can’t … that, pleasure.
I can’t help myself.
I’m falling in love with a monster.
Everything about him is just plain… criminal.

Two epic authors join forces to create a sinful treat that will have you begging for more. Criminal had me on the edge of my seat, breathless, as I couldn’t stop reading. Hot and dirty in the best of ways, and I didn’t want it to end. A five star read from a five star duo!
What did Daddy Say…
It’s tough to tell who the good guy is and who is the bad guy. This story moves along quickly with several twists and turns along with lots of spanking .Why is it that the inexperienced never, never listen to those with experience…The
characters are strong and opinionated I enjoyed the story and can’t wait for her next one..
This was quite the action packed story! Of course she it has wonderful steamy scenes to go with it! I absolutely love Jane Henry and Loki Renard books!
This one was awesome! Check it out!
‘m a huge fan of Jane Henry and while I’ve hear of Loki Renard, I haven’t read anything written by her. I think that will change now. This book was amazing, from the first page where Sonya is crawling through an air duct to the last page. Colt is the perfect “bad” guy and together they are magic. This story has everything a reader of dark romance needs. It’s dark enough…. but not over the top dark and that was awesome. Without giving the story away, all I will say is to get this book. Jane and Loki have outdone themselves and Loki has a new fan in me!
This book started out so good for me. Then took a turn when they went to the doctors. Without giving anything away, I didn’t realize that the plot was going to go that way, and I lost some of my interest at that point. It took me 2 days to finish this short of a book. Still a good book, even though I wasn’t a fan of all the daddy talk.
Damn this book is scorching hot! I’m embarrassed to say how hot it is!! Colt is like walking sex-on-a-stick. He can take me to the workout room anytime 😉 Criminal shocked me and kept me on the edge of my seat! I read it in one sitting! These two authors did a fantastic job with this heart pounding incredible story. I need you all to read it so we can all girl-talk about Colt! Highly recommend!

WHAT A DELICIOUSLY SINFUL, WICKEDLY KINKY AND FLAT OUT FILTHY & TITILLATING 4.5 STAR READ.
(¸.•´(¸.•` (¸.•´(¸.•` (¸.•´(¸.•` (¸.•´(¸.•
One dominating criminal.
One smart mouthed F.B.I. agent.
Each on a mission.
Both have an agenda.
Neither willing to back down.
Well, that is until the ferocious big bad wolf shows his upper hand and delivers the titillating goods. And by goods I mean punishment.
Sometimes punishments can leave a bad taste in your mouth and your bottom sore.
Sometimes punishments are just too good that you can’t help but be naughty.
Sometimes Daddy has to step in and remind you who’s boss.
That’s exactly what happens in Criminal by Authors Jane Henry and Loki Renard.
The beautiful, sassy, somewhat reckless but no less determined F.B.I. agent who just can’t help but get herself in trouble Sonya Lee has landed herself in a serious and dangerous situation. And by dangerous situation, I mean she finds herself at the mercy of the dark, dangerous and deadly criminal Colt O’Connell. The over the top, uber sexy, no nonsense, dirty dom who run his life and his business with an iron fist.
When Sonya is discovered hiding in a vent, Colt kidnaps her, thrusts her into his unsavory world of sex trafficking and decides to keep her and make her his. One…… spanking……at….a….time.
Sonya has other ideas however and fights him every step of way.
Colt gave me full on body chills, made me weak in the knees and left me panting. He loved meting out punishments and “I” loved reading about it. His dominating personality gave me the shivers. Sonya is his perfect match. She challenges him and most certainly gives him a run for his money. If only she could manage to keep her anger in check and her mouth shut. I loved this heroine because she gave as good as she got. I found her to be enchanting albeit stubborn as hell, a bit naive’ and just full of life and humor. You just can’t help but love her and all the stupid things she does that lands her in trouble.
Things are not what they appear to be. Lives are in jeopardy. Time is of the essence. When the truth is discovered, everything changes.
Freedom and free will play a pivotal role in this story for different reasons……. Will Colt set Sonya free?
It’s a battle of wills for sure. Who will win the battle? I’m not telling but I will say this… These two have an electrically charged chemistry that’s immediate and burns so bright that it burns the pages of this book.
Rules are meant to be followed. What happens when you break the rules? Well, there’s that pesky upper hand again. Wielding the trio of pain, punishment and oh so delectable pleasure.
I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this 4.5 star dark romantic suspense thriller. This couple was so much fun and a great match. The story is full of suspense, danger, twists, humor and just the right amount kink to pull it all together. It takes you out of the real world and plops you into one hell of a yummy escape.
“Criminal” by Jane Henry and Loki Renard was an amazing treat that I couldn’t put down. The action starts from page one and both Ms. Henry and Ms. Renard set a challenging pace to the story that keeps the entertainment high and me tapping those pages. The chemistry between Sonya and Colt is downright tangible and while there is some serious breach of…ummm…workplace etiquette (hee) going on, I loved every word of it and more. Likes/loves: Colt is your new book boyfriend. He’s all sorts of growly alpha male in an unforgiving situation and he dishes it out. Sonya is in way over her head and I loved how she didn’t back down. The story itself was a new twist on work place relationships (coughs) that is pure, sexy entertainment from beginning to end.
This is a gritty often brutal story but it is a romance despite that. A harsh storyline mixed in with a high heat rating!
Great read!

~~ 4.5 BLISTERING STARS~~
You’re mine. Mine to f*ck. Mine to punish. Mine to own.”
OMFG! I just devoured the most scintillating dark erotic romance. featuring a to die for, deliciously dominant baddie who must resort to EXTREME measures to subdue a reckless spitfire who walks straight into the devil’s lair!
CRIMINAL by Jane Henry and Loki Renard is a fast-paced, filthy hot read, packed with raw intensity, thrilling, edge of your seat suspense, torrid BDSM power exchanges and lots of riveting twists and turns!
This is the first collaboration by Jane Henry and Loki Renard and these two mega talented authors knocked it out of the park with this unputdownable, high octane tale about a feisty FBI rookie who finds herself in way over her head when she tangles with the wrong Criminal who takes her hostage and has some mighty memorable lessons to impart on his disobedient little prisoner!!
Colt and Sonya have EXPLOSIVE chemistry, and their kinky erotic interludes are so wickedly wanton I seriously needed a time out! And yikes! This tough as nails bad boy sure means BUSINESS when it comes to trying to tame his unruly woman into submission, and some of his stern disciplinary measures left me QUAKING!!!
But sighhh…Colt also has a gruffly tender Daddy Dom side too, which smoothed out some of his rough edges, and made me all warm and melty inside!! And despite her diminutive size, Sonya has a backbone of steel, is a true firecracker and gives Colt a real run for his money!!! There’s no question that at times her bratty, rebellious nature and uncontrollable sass sure gets her into some hot water, but I admired her gutsiness, her conviction and her fierce determination to see justice served at all costs!!!
Although CRIMINAL is very much an insta-lust/love tale, I relished the dynamic between this combustible duo and as the story evolves and they risk life and limb for each other, the soul deep connection between the MCs felt organic and true! These two are opposites yet also cut from the same cloth in terms of hard-headed temperaments and when they go toe to toe it’s pure dynamite!!
BOTTOM LINE:
If you crave an UNAPOLOGETICALLY alpha anti-hero who does WHAT he wants, to HELL with the consequences, and will break EVERY rule to protect, punish—and possess— his brave, infuriatingly defiant and adorably sexy little minx, I recommend you one click this pulse-pounding page-turner pronto!
And the best part? There are more titillating books to come from this dynamic writing duo! The epilogue contains an exciting intro to Rico and Jasmine’s story, and this upcoming tale featuring a rough dominant lawman who meets his match in a notorious bad girl is guaranteed to be a panty scorcher!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
This is a collaboration of two wonderful authors.
It is a story about Sonya and Colt. Sonya is a FBI rookie doing her own thing and then gets caught. Will she get out of the mess she got herself in?
Sonya was an interesting character. Someone who doesn’t like being told what to do, but on another level she does and thrives on it.. She made me laugh. I did wonder who she ever made it into the academy with her problems with authority.
I liked Colt a lot. He was stern, but fair and sexy. Can I have one?
This was a fast paced, action packed story. It made me laugh and it steamed up my ereader.
I could not put this story down. Jane and Loki bring you into the world of criminals and FBI agents. When Sonya is caught in a very bad situation she is taken hostage by a man that does not make her life easy at all.
Colt is that man that take Sonya in his care. He locks her in a basement and makes her his prisoner. But what happens in that basement may change both Colt and Sonya’s future forever.
I loved this story, and hope these two authors come together again for another hot and intense story.
so hot, I have no idea how to begin! I love the bad boys. And this one is steamy hot, you cannoy help but to love him. Colt must train and prepare Sonya for sale, he is drawn to her. But this is only the beginning, Sonya needs to submit to survive, or does she. The relationship between Colt and Sonya is forbidden, hot and Oh so steamy! But as with most bad boys, the romance is never easy to grow. Twists of fate cause Colt and Sonya to become closer and are forced to trust each other. But does that trust become true enough to turn to love? Will a relationship started by a need yo survive thrive? This is a book you will not be able to put down. Each turn of thr page brings surprises and more hot scenes. This is a story not to miss!!!
In the wrong place at the wrong time lands Sonya in the clutches of Cole. Is he a bad man good at bad things or a good man that can be bad? Sonya will find out the hard way!
Add in some danger, intrigue, domination, creepy scary bad guys, human trafficking, the law, sizzling hot sex scenes, lust and a red hot love and we have a perfect mix!
Jane and Loki writing together…..sweet nibblets I got overheated reading this gem!!!!
Sonya is a rookie FBI agent trying to excel but is going off the books. In doing so she gets taken by Colt, a delicious bad guy. But is he truly a bad guy….I won’t tell.
This book is full of action, lots of bratting, lots of delicious spankings and some extremely steamy scenes. It’s worth quite a few reads!
Criminal, is my first book by Jane Henry and Loki Renard. I thought it was well written, could had a little more backstory of some of the characters..
However, Criminal, was intense action-packed story. Filled with delicious suspense, kink and great chemistry between the two main characters!
-Stina, A Woman & Her Books.
Loki Renard and Jane Henry are a dynamic duo when it comes to dark and engrossing romance. This book is totally proof of that. I mean, wow.
Sonya is an FBI agent who wants to get in on the biggest case going, taking down Brava. So, she decides she’s going to force the team to take her. She sneaks into his building by the air vents, hoping that she can hear something. She hears something, alright, but not what she might expect.
Colt is working with Brava, dealing in women. He has to go talk to Brava about some mistakes, but he sees a pair of eyes in the air vents and tells Brava that all he wants is the woman in the vents.
Sonya thinks that she knows what’s going on, and she thinks that her rebelliousness is going to help her here, but she’s so, so wrong. I like Colt, he’s a definite dominant type. I totally wouldn’t do anything that he told me not to. Probably. Sonya is a different story. I sometimes like her I sometimes don’t. She’s a little too bratty sometimes and I would definitely support what Colt does.
It looks like this is getting set for a series, and I’m looking forward to that.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review….
I love books that take me by surprise…..and this one did that!! Not every thing is as it seems with Colt and Sonya. These two are well written, interesting characters. The book moves quickly, is smoking’ hot, and has some great twists. I can’t wait for Rico’s story!!
Creative, emotive and the MUST-READ of the season!
OMW! Starting in total darkness, where it’s difficult to figure out the good in the room, and then progressing to an ending with a light so bright my eyes hurt, the primary characters in “CRIMINAL” makes quite a transition, but Oh, what a ride! The blurb starts the reader on the journey, but what the blurb won’t tell readers is that this novel is so well written that even the bad stuff feels good. Sounds strange, right? Well, “CRIMINAL” has some twists and turns which are so totally unexpected they come over the outfield fence and turn the story on its ear! (or maybe the story was always fine, and it was this reader on her ear, but whatever . . .) “CRIMINAL” is amazing! The plot is both fascinating and captivating; I had to finish it in one sitting. The main characters, Colt and Sonya, are phenomenally realistic and loveable, and the plot – swoon/sigh – I won’t say any more for fear I’ll spoil the amazement for another. Suffice it to say, “CRIMINAL” is THE MUST-BUY of all must-buys this fall! There is this element of TRUST woven throughout the book. Add to that some lust and some over-the-top action which are all mixed with a great deal of risk so when read hours of titillating entertainment are provided! This is NOT just another day at the office! No, it is a whole weekend’s worth of entertainment for any lover of romantic BDSM. That it arrives for the moment in book form, means it will wait as the laundry is moved from the washer to the dryer, but no longer. And, readers may need a cup of calming tea or a second glass of wine as the suspense, and tension in “CRIMINAL” are OFF THE CHARTS! (Yet, because of the light BDSM and depicted violence, this one is for readers 18 + age or older, please.) Individually, authors Henry and Renard are known for their fast-paced yet intricate plots, complex characterizations, and magnificent prose, but working together, the literary result is incredible. While I voluntarily read an ARC copy of “CRIMINAL,” I plan to purchase a copy of this amazing novel and place it in the FAVORITES section of my Kindle where I can read it again and again! I STRONGLY recommend that you get your copy of “CRIMINAL” by authors Jane Henry and Loki Renard today! Happy pages!
This is a surprisingly seductive story of FBI agent versus “criminal”. Sonya is the intelligent, noncompliant, mouthy, sassy, petite agent, Colt the rough, strong, attractive, and very ALPHA “criminal”.
The story starts out with a capture and an abduction, which is then quickly followed by demands, tenacity, severe punishment and the hottest damn sex. The story line is exciting and fast-paced; their physical responses so intensely stimulating, I had to take short pauses to control my heartbeat and remind myself to breathe. I loved the whole premise behind Colt’s domination of Sonya, as well as the domination itself. This entire story is well-written and addictive. My advice is, read it yourself and enjoy!
