If you haven’t read The Banker yet, stop what you’re doing and go read it!!
The Dictator, is the second part of a new series by Penelope Sky. And it’s brilliant!!
Siena Russo is a prisoner, in the home of a man she planned to betray, but her feelings got in the way and stopped her. Now she will pay the ultimate price – her life. She either has to convince Cato of her loyalty or run away, which will be easiest?
Cato Marino made a mistake when he let his guard down and started to trust the art buyer. She betrayed him now he has to kill her, she is a traitor. This is a woman who got under his skin and into his bed. Can he go through with it and pull the trigger?
With feelings starting to show, Cato’s mother knowing about Siena and the baby, Bates’ hatred toward Siena known, what will the outcome be for these two?
Penelope Sky writes in a way that draws you into the story, gives you an emotional connection to the characters and has you routing for them – even the bad ones. I’m (not so) patiently waiting for The Tyrant.
I love this series! She writes about men that you should just hate, but can’t help but love. I am so ready to see what’s next for Cato and Siena.
This series is great .I cant wait for the finale because I still think Cato can’t trust in Sienna’s loyalty to him. Which doesn’t bode well for his baby mama
Penelope Sky has this way of making it so darn easy to fall in love with her characters. I loved the continuation of Siena and Cato. It’s been such a beautiful story to read even at their worst moments. I can’t wait for next book to come out!
Hot arrogant alpha men, and feisty head strong women. When a man refuses to tell a woman he loves her after she say it, what do you do? Cato and Siena are on fire when together, he may treat her horribly at time but she always bends and gives her anything she wants. Will love find away?
I love how Penelope Sky writes from both POV’S. It’s a rich, entertaining and wonderful way to get to know the characters. The more I read how Cato Marino feels, the more I fall for him. And Siena, as with all of Penelope’s female characters, doesn’t take sh– from anyone. Strong story, strong writing.
This is a dark and sexy continuation of the series. Siena is pregnant with Cato’s baby, and he plans on killing her as soon as his baby is born. Yet, somehow… Siena is still in love with Cato, and on a crusade to prove to him that he loves her too.
There’s alot of sex involved, some angst and suspense… and through the entire book, Cato’s brother Bates hates Siena and wants to kill her. Needless to say, her pregnancy is not off to an idyllic start.
The question is if Cato actually loves her, and if he’ll admit to it before the day comes that he’s supposed to kill her? There’s alot of sexy suspense, and I’m definitely looking forward to the next book!
This just keeps getting better Cato is something else you never know what you will get from him and it’s awesome. Sienna doesn’t know if she is coming or going but she is strong. I can’t wait to see how this plays out with them.
I voluntarily read a arc copy
Well I am successful on the freaking edge of my seat! I am enraptured with the possibilities, betrayal, and seduction that have been this series cornerstone. Sienna is fastly realizing the Faustian deal she made brought her Cato, but it could also be their undoing. Now with child, she is even more unsure which way is up or down. Cato has his code of ethics and Sienna has blown them all apart. How will this all play forward? But frankly I never want this series to end.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book
This book picks up right where The Banker left off: Cato making Siena a prisoner until the baby comes, then killing her for her deceit. Siena apologizes over and over explaining she did it for her father, but Cato is stubborn, more hurt actually, but he won’t admit it. And Bates despises Siena making it extremely tense whenever he sees her and threatens her. But Siena does not give up. She wants to be with Cato and tries over and over to win him back. This book builds on Cato and Siena’s relationship. I loved watching how everything falls into place. I love how Cato and Siena goes through so many emotions and grows a deeper bond. But Cato is stubborn. I’m not sure he is capable of admitting his true feelings. And Siena is strong and positive and patient. I love this about her character. I can’t wait to see how everything will play out in The Tyrant. Will Cato man up and confess his love? Will he do the unthinkable and marry Siena? This is just another great series from Penelope Sky. She really knows how to write perfect stories
I cannot believe how each book I read from Penelope Sky is even better than the last one. The love/hate story between Siena and Cato deserves more than 5 stars. The characters and storyline are so amazing you will not be able to put the book down. I cannot wait to see where this series goes. Once again Penelope Sky does not disappoint.
I’m not sure what I can say that I haven’t said before. Penelope never disappoints! Cato is definitely trying hard to keep his walls up but of course she is not having that. I love her fiery attitude. chemistry is off the charts hot.
The second instalment of the series, Dictator start where The Banker ended. With Siena being prisoner with her pregnancy as live savior. And Cato being bitter and angry for her betrayel. And for his brother waiting the day he finally put bullet in her head.
Nine months… That’s all time Siena have. Unless she can persuade Cato to keep her instead.
For me, Dictator is a lot more slow burn than Banker. It got more personal conflict. More of Cato and Siena finding their own feelings toward each other. Time for them to fall in love or just fall in lust.
Although still a page Turner, I finish reading in one sitting, Dictator feels more melancholy. Yes, there’s still darkness in Cato’s world, but just a pinch.
Here I see different Cato. A lover, an Alpha still, a dominant but more vulnerable with his feeling for her.
While Siena, I feel she’s stronger of her love for him. Like this girl. She is smart and have that take no non sense attitude. Even when her live is in jeopardy.
Can’t wait to read the next instalment. Would love to see his riled to the bones and finally letting her in
I have so many different emotions going through me right now I don’t even know how to review this book. This book picks up right where the previous one left off. So good I can not wait until the next book.
What a fantastic continuation to the series. Things are starting to heat up between Siena and Cato. But Cato is still in his feeling from Siena betrayal but won’t admit that he developing intense feelings for her so things are complicated. Bates is still a major jerk but is finally starting to come around we’ll see how long that lasts. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
The Dictator is the second installment of Penelope Skys new Banker series and once again I couldn’t put it down. I stayed up all night reading it. It picks up right where The Banker left off. One thing I continue to love about her books is that every time you think you know where it might be going it usually changes. These books always keep you on the edge of your seat and ready to devour the next chapters. You delve deeper into Siena and Cato and maybe why they made some of their decisions the way they did in the first book. Once again Cato is his usual alpha brooding self that you can’t help but love and hate all at the same time and since you already know why Siena made the decision she did in the first one you can’t help but continue to love her and a pregnant Siena you all seriously so amazing. One of the things I always love about Penelope’s books is that the women are always strong. You’re never going to have these meek little mouse women. You will have strong alphas that think they should always get their way but you’re also going to have these extremely strong women that will never back down. So did Cato meet his match in Siena? You’ll just have to read and see. Cannot wait to see what happens in the last one! If you’re reading this and haven’t ever picked up a Penelope Sky book but like a suspenseful sometimes dark romance read then I highly recommend you start today. Run don’t walk and go get it, you won’t be disappointed.
When I started reading I couldn’t put it down.Penelope Sky is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can’t wait for the next book.
