This was a addictive fast paced standalone novel that takes place in the Old Money trilogy and can be read without reading that series.
This book was so twisted and dark and was everything you come to expect from Natalie Bennett! Pierce was such a asshole at first but the more I kept reading the more I fell in love with him and Willow was sassy and fierce but also still naive and innocent in some ways and I absolutely fell in love with her from the start ! All the secrets and lies and drama and the obsessive lust between Pierce and Willow holy shit your in for one hell of a ride with this book! Definite 5 stars and I definitely recommend especially if you like your books about dark twisted alpha hole killers and the women that brings them to their knees than this is your jam it sure is mine !
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book
Some more old money on the side
Pierce is the ultimate bad man who wants what he wants and that’s it. Whether Willow desires him doesn’t mean he makes it easy for her. She must break. And he will reveal all as he picks up the pieces.
A great spinoff of the OMR trilogy. The Remmington’s make a brief appearance.
That was…unexpected. This was something I’m not really use to reading from Natalie. Not in a bad way (see my rating) but…
This is a standalone book in the Old Money universe, not in the series. A certain character from that series makes a cameo but that is just about all you are going to get. You don’t have to read that series to read this.
The story was a mindfuck from beginning to end. That was what kept me engaged. I didn’t know wtf was going on half the time. Secrets spilling everywhere.
I loved the characters. Willow is my bitch. She isn’t like the usual heroines who have been her position. She rolls with it. Hell, I would too, if I were her.
“You’re a really shitty kidnapper. All you give me is cock and food.”
I mean, what’s not to like?
Pierce was an arrogant bastard. You know, the kind I always fall for. He’s not at the top of fave men Natalie has written. He wasn’t harsh enough for my liking. I know…what’s wrong with me, right? Eh, I have a type.
This book had most of the things I thrive on in my fave dark reads: deceit, murder, abduction, sexy times ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Here comes the but….it wasn’t dark enough for me.
I want pitch fucking black, friends. Can’t see a fucking thing, bumping into walls and shit, black. I have been spoiled by past books. I can’t help it. I like what I like.
It’s still a great book, don’t get me wrong. I did enjoy it. Fans of Natalie won’t be disappointed. And if you are new to her writing, strap in. Once you pick up a book of hers, you’ll be hooked.
Dark and twisted but oh so freaking good!!
Twisted but oh so good. This was a standalone in the Old Money world. How I haven’t read those books is the question but I’ll remedy that ASAP. Even though I haven’t read the other books I was able to follow the story easily. I loved Willow and Pierce they were amazing together. These characters and story kept me entertained and guessing what would happen next. Pierce was a controlling alpha and Willow was pretty tame, the Ying to his Yang. Not the normal Natalie Bennett book but I’m not complaining
I Give this Book a 3.5/5 Star Rating, List as 4.
Dark: 3.5ish-4/5, I can’t express how I love a lot of the Dark that was in this one, but it felt almost toned down. I have to admit, I would’ve preferred it to be darker.
Heat: 3.5/5
Romance: 3/5
Drama: 5/5
Suspense: 4/5
Predictability: 3/5
HEA(?): Yes.
Let me just get this out first: I Need to read the REMMINGTONS!! XD
I’m a sucker for the Dark Criminal World.
Pierce took a bit to like, I get why he did the things he did.
Willow was an issue to me, even thought I WAS/AM rooting for Pierce & Willow, she wasn’t a fighter and was a bit more submissive than I wanted her to be and also naive. I know while reading that is technically the type of woman Pierce wanted in the first place, but honestly the only thing about her that impressed me was that Shovel moment, I did Not expect that even though I wanted her to Lol
I’m Looking forward to reading the REMMINGTONS!! 😀
I will obviously be reading more from this author!
I wasn’t sure what this one involved as I went in a tad blind.
Pleased to say this one for me was a hit.
Not really a romantic story, what we actually have here is a tale of passionate obsession set in the underbelly of organised crime.
Tying into The old and new money trilogies with the Remington family who also feature very briefly here.
covetous storyline centres on Willow and Pierce.
Willow has had a hard past that has helped shape the woman she is.
After a tragedy leaves her alone in the world she is taken in by her previously unknown father who also happens to be a business colleague of Pierce.
Pierce is the hand that controls her new world and he has his own personal agenda when it comes to Willow or Rebel as he has nicknamed her.
Instead of the collateral damage, she was always meant to be to him Willow becomes a much more important piece in the game and as she gets caught in the crossfire of Pierce’s ulterior motives
She must attempt to stand strong against her adversary as he slowly drip-feeds her titbits of info and his real agenda gradually starts to emerge.
So this is a standalone read told from two POV’s Willow and Pierce’s.
This was hot, hot, hot and there were times when this story reached combustible heat levels.
There is everything here you have come to expect from this authors stories.
Plenty of dubious consent and morally defunct situations throughout this.
Pierce himself is a complete Psycho but that doesn’t seem to bother Willow who only seems to want him in some ways more because of this unique aspect of his personal character.
These two just fit together like pieces of a puzzle.
I really liked the way this one played out and I did enjoy this very much.
A thumbs up from me this was a great read.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Covetous.

Damn Natalie Bennett this book was all kinds of mindfu*ks and I loved it!!! Pierce was such a Ruthless Asshole he drove me crazy with some of the stuff he did I wanted to throat punch him myself a couple of time. But I kinda loved him at the same time. Williow is so fiery and sassy most people in her situation would of been a mess she took it like a badass. So many lies and secrets going on with them. They had like a love hate relationship going on between them for awhile but in the end I really loved them together Highly recommend this book also super excited about New Money Trilogy
There’s nothing like an amazing book that twists your mind, keeps you on your toes and makes you enjoy every moment of the wild ride it takes you on like Covetous did. I loved Pierce and Willow together. On their own each character was intriguing and drew me me deeper into their story but together they kept me transfixed. I enjoyed how fierce, determined and sassy Willow was as well as Pierce’s unapologetic nature in attaining what he wants. Full of twists, turns, deception, and intrigue Covetous made for an addictive read that left me craving the next spellbinding addition to this series.
This book is amazing in all aspects. You have Willow whom i completely adore and Pierce who is well… No read the book then you’ll know. I’m saying that I absolutely wholeheartedly love him.
Willow is sassy, strong and hmm what’s the word I’m looking for??? Yes Fierce!!
Trying to review this book without giving anything away is near impossible.. so let me just say, it’s one of my favourite Natalie Bennett books to date.. that statement alone should tell you everything lol. Read the book
Such a twisted, tangled, dark read…I LOVED this book! If you are a fan of Natalie Bennett and her Old Money Trilogy than you will become as equally obsessed as I am with Covetous and be as anxious as I am for the New Money Series after finishing this AHMAZING read! The book hangover is real right now
Pierce & Willow were like gasoline and a match… Covetous is jam packed full of lies, manipulation, revenge, a ton of secrets and off the charts chemistry…the push and pull between these two will have your mind spinning while navigating thru the emotional minefield that is this book. SO FREAKING GOOD!
***4 Stars***
I really enjoyed this book. It had the edgy grittiness that I’ve come to expect from this author, along with a slew compelling characters that I want more of, but it also kept me on my toes as I tried to figure out just what the hell was going because the secrets in this one ran rampant!
I really liked Willow and Pierce. Willow is strong, determined and a little impulsive, but she knows what she wants and doesn’t apologize for it. Pierce is a machine. He does what is necessary ~ even if it only makes sense to him ~ and doesn’t apologize for it. And though he is cold and soulless most of the time, he does have enough of a heart to protect those he deems worthy. Their relationship is a bit of a mixed bag of lust, reluctant consent, infatuation and fascination, but within that convoluted mix they fit and I really liked them together.
This was a fun, smexy and gritty read and though dark in certain themes, it wasn’t as bloody or gory as some of the author’s books have been which I didn’t have a problem with at all. It is apart of the Old Money/New Money world, but you don’t need to read Old Money to enjoy Covetous.

Covetous by Natalie Bennett. Willow lived in a household with a mother who was uncaring, a sexually abusive stepfather and a drug addicted sister. When her parents went missing and her sister was killed she was taken by someone who said he was her dad. Now living in a criminal family Willow is exposed to a life that can only bring trouble. When she meets her father’s business associate Pierce, Willow has a thing for him. Willow ends up putting herself in a situation that has far reaching ramifications. This was a story of twists and turns, lies and secrets. And of course there was a good serving of dark, sick and twisted in this story. Pierce was the ultimate alpha gangster that had Willow craving his brutal treatment. A good story that kept me guessing. I would love to have another book with more of Pierce and Willow. 4.5 stars for me.
