Vicious tries to keep Kitty safe but it gets harder and harder as more people are after her. The CIA want her, the Russians want her, and she just wants a normal life. Then Vicious is shot and Blaze gets hurt. There are so many twists and turns you never know what will happen. The story is very good indeed. Hot romance as well.
Brilliant Intensity but Lacking Character Growth… Oh. Holy. Hell! I DEFINITELY did not see that set of twists and turns coming! The first two books were a mental roller-coaster projecting at warp speed through intense unease, anger, and cringe worthy “what the hell?!?” moments. I craved – no – silently begged for understanding of all the moving parts and intentions swirling around Kitty, Vicious, Slick, and Blaze. And FINALLY this third installment delivers. But sadly only in part.
Despite the dizzying speed at which Loki Renard pings back and forth between perspectives, unfolding a mountains worth of revelations from character to character. It, at times, especially where Blaze is concerned, comes off as not quite believable. Other aspects come across as literary cop outs, especially where Vicious is concerned!
The brilliant intensity of it all is still glorious. And I have come to cherish Renard’s almost Machiavellian writing style. And perhaps, as I have been saying all along in my reviews of this series, all of this unsettling uncertainty and upheaval is by intentional design. Which in and of itself is deviously stupendous.
However, just as with the first book in this series, “Vicious Loves” falls short and returned me frustratingly fast to the beginning gut reaction to throw my tablet and scream. But this time for clarity in character growth and consistency in action. I am once again conflicted, especially where Blaze is concerned.
Now we are getting somewhere. Kitty and Vicious are finally talking and being honest with each other to a point. We still have a lot to learn but not just with these two characters. We also have Slick and Blaze to figure out. I loved the twist and turns that Loki has thrown in this story. You really never know what is going to come next.
OMG, what a fast-paced, action-packed ROMANCE extraordinaire! This a MUST-BUY!!!
“VICIOUS LOVES,” author Loki Renard’s newest release is most definitely NOT one of the romances your mother used to read! Instead, it is more like an action-adventure movie, but with all the feels and insight of a truly romantic novel! I have adored each title in VICIOUS, Loki Renard’s sequential series, but none more than “VICIOUS LOVES.” In “VICIOUS LOVES,” readers get swept along by the web of words author Renard so eloquently weaves, sweeping them along in a descriptively vivid yet epic race to live and to love. Readers experience a new side of Kitty, a hinted toward but never revealed side that I so want to describe, but don’t want to spoil a thing! Of course, “VICIOUS LOVES” ends with a major cliff, but it is not one I minded this time – knowing that the HEA which Vicious and Kitty so richly deserve will be won. I can hardly wait to find out how and where author Renard will take us next! “VICIOUS LOVES” is a 5+STAR recommended read that I STRONGLY suggest you purchase today! Happy pages!
This series is hot. Having said that, this book did not hold my interest as deeply at the first two books did. Vicious and Kitty along with Slick and Blaze held my interest from the beginning. I was almost as excited to read about Slick and Blaze’s story. Their story continued in this book, but it was a bit anti-climactic, especially after reading their part of the story in the first two books. As for Vicious and Kitty, the plot thickens but I found as the plot was laid out, it dragged in spots. This, I believe, is the challenge when writing one story in multiple parts. You need enough to keep people reading more, but without giving too much away at once. I also found that the relationship between Kitty and Vicious lacked the dark connection that was built over the first two books. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good book, but not quite to the level of the first two. I really believe this story could be told in two books rather than four as it seems hard to keep that unique momentum that the first one started. Having said that, I look forward to reading the last one.
Well BOOM!
A lot of secrets come to light in this installment of the series! The magic shimmers and the illusions are are starting to drop, secrets are revealed and relationships change in big ways!
Loyalties and relationships are questioned when events force them to make choices that effect them all. The layer of sensual mesmirism that Vicious has kept Kitty in will crack with disastrous results, one moment of rebellion may cost them everything!
Slick and Blaze as usual are a treat as usual, their are drastic changes are ahead for thier relationship and new beginnings. A deadly threat from the past comes to seek their revenge and get their pound of flesh!
There is still a ton of heat and chemistry in this story which is more than matched by the level of danger, intrigue and revelations!
An excellent edition to the series!
I love the development of the story, the narrative speed and the tension and relaxation. Fantastic entertainment with standing ovations and the desire for encores. Well done!
Great, finally Kitty makes the last step and follow her inner thoughts to go over the finishing line in her development and improve herself. Done! I’m proud of Kitty and now I’m hoping she goes straight forward and set the world on fire.
To my shame, I have to admit, I still don’t care about Vicious. He’s in the story, supplementing it and advancing it, but nothing more. Even though some things have been clarified and explained, it doesn’t make him more understandable or sympathetic or desirable. I can more connect and relate even to Slick than him. It’s just Vicious is the right sidekick for Kitty and that’s why it’s not so bad.
To say so: „Every little animal has its own little chat.“
Kitty likes him and he does her good and if it suits her, who am I not to treat her to it?
My love and sympathy is first and foremost with Kitty, followed by Blaze with her amazing entertainment value especially in combination with Slick.
What more can these two great women experience together in adventures? Both now have the right well-equipped companions with the right resources to keep your back free.
I look forward to it!
and one
Vicious and Kitty are a dynamic duo with insane chemistry. Will Vicious be able to protect his Kitty from the trouble she finds herself in this time? These books are stunning and must reads.
This book was awesome!
Kitty and Viscious are entangled in the CIA and a crazy Russian. They try to outwit and outsmart everyone involved. And their relationship is steamy and oh so hot!
Blaze and Slick’s relationship is getting steamy also but will it thrive?
Looking forward to reading Viscious Revenge!
Book Rating: 3.5/5 (listing as 3)
Intimate Scene Rating: 3/5
Heat Level: 3.5/5
Drama: 3/5
Dark: 3/5
This book was much more fast paced then I had anticipated, I was expecting a more slower even paced one.
The Romance(ish) between Vicious & Kitty was more upfront in this one more so then the previous books.
I was still expecting a stronger build up between the two cause they really haven’t been together that long, it really has a Insta feel but not.
It just seemed rushed for them still, where ironically Slick & Blaze relationship soared and paced pretty good, and made more sense in a weird way.
Intimate scenes were there but not as bold like they were previously until the end, but in the earlier & middle parts were either faster paced or it was given to you as more of a assumption.
The Drama and Dark scenes in this one were not as long or as suspenseful as I would’ve hoped, but the point for those scenes were still made across and I liked it.
Looking forward to reading more!
Arthur vs Katherine
The plot thickens…there is so much happening. The CIA is added into the mix to stir up the plot. The “second-in-command” is not what he seems. Vicious is vicious what can you say? And he doesn’t deny it! Blaze, Kitty’s BFF, falls for her keeper all because of ice cream. Kitty seems to be on a downward spiral and not sure where her life is going. I don’t think Kitty will ever get her white picket fence and house with 2.5 children with a loving normal spouse. Events and things are not as they seem nor are Kitty’s so called “friends”. More about Coco and Shadow can be found in this chapter of Kitty’s and Vicious’s saga. I love this series. I hope it continues!
Vicious Loves (Vicious City #3) by Loki Renard is the next saga in the secrets surrounding Vicious and Kitty. This book picks up basically where book 2 left off. Vicious has set up this elaborate scene to scare Kitty into following him and Blaze knows. Blaze wants to tell Kitty that Vicious is a fraud but she can see just how glamoured Kitty is with Vicious. Blaze is more involved in this book. I really enjoyed Blaze. A true spitfire that kept me in stitches. Definitely plenty of laughs from her continous antics and smart mouth. We also finally discover the answer to all the secrets regarding who Vicious really is. We also learn what is the real story regarding Kitty and why so many people are after her. As well as learning the secrets we also get to see the evolution of Vicious and Kitty’s relationship. He was a character that I loved and hated. It was hard to figure him out. Part of the storyline was a little unbelievable, regardless I will be reading book 4. I am curious as to how the author will end their story. 4 stars for me
First off, let me say if you’re just reading reviews to see whether or not you want to read this book, do yourself a favor and read them in order: .50) Vicious Tease 1) Vicious Looks 2) Vicious Lies and then this one, 3) Vicious Loves. The dynamics between Vicious and Kitty are just explosive. One of those that have a sexual chemistry so strong you can feel it in the air like static electricity. Lies are told, truths are found out. The twists and turns that involve these two are enough to boggle the imagination. Blaze, Kitty’s BFF learns a truth and takes it upon herself to tell Kitty. But when she takes action to do so, Vicious has inserted himself into the conversation forcing Blaze to make a decision; tell Kitty what she knows and if Kitty doesn’t believe her, she’s lost their friendship or keep what she knows to herself and let it play out knowing she’ll be there to pick up the pieces when/if Kitty needs her. This dark romance only seems to get better with each book and this one is a journey you don’t want to miss.
Leaves you panting for more… This series is exciting, suspenseful, darkly engrossing, and sizzling in the intensity between the characters. Vicious and Kitty are made for each other. He is an unstoppable force of nature who never fails to get what he wants, and she is worthy in her own right as secrets are uncovered and she fights her way through the maze of treachery. Every character comes to life off the pages as if the story was happening in reality. Don’t start this book if you don’t intend to finish it in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait for more. Five heart-stopping stars – Vicious is my new obsession!
This was so exciting and intense I couldn’t put it down with the lies and truths coming out and the new information we have been waiting for that will shock you and didn’t see that coming at all. I am so in love with these characters as they change with every book. Kitty has become a force in itself and I am so proud of her, you go girl and she does giving Vicious a million heart attacks LOL and Blaze and Slick lets just say I cant get enough of these two and her sassy mouth I love it theres no one like Blaze to keep you on your toes at all times. Theres danger everywhere and this one packs a punch and impossible to put this down
This series just keeps getting better! It’s hard to say much about this book without spoilers, but let me tell you that it’s packed with action, suspense and tons of hotness. There was more than one time in this book that I was completely caught by surprise. It’s definitely a “just one more chapter” type of book that will have you reading into the night. Another fantastic read. Can’t wait for the next book!
The story of Vicious and Kitty continues and what a story it is becoming! No one is who they appear to be, and the true nature of this mystery is being slowly revealed. Slick is not who we thought he was, neither is Vicious or is the meaning of their supposed mission with Kitty. One revelation after another drives this fun and exciting character drama, and it has me wanting more, so much so that I preordered the next book.
Loki Renard never disappoints and she’s outdone herself with the Vicious series. It’s just that good. I loved it and so will you. Highly recommended.
This series just keeps getting better! There were so many twists and turns in this book my head is still spinning. Everyone, and I mean everyone is after Kitty and Vicious is after them all. Vicious and Kitty’s relationship is hot and steamy as ever but will Slick and Blaze’s relationship survive? This book keeps the reader on the edge of their seat throughout the whole book! I can’t wait for Vicious Revenge!!
Wow!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! I love this series. Vicious, Kitty, Blaze and Slick. The character development is amazing. The best part is there is going to be a book 4. This book did not leave me however feeling like I was hanging over a cliff. It was amazing and just made me want more. I still say I think Vicious is the best. Even as messed up as he is. LOL
