Two become three. Lies, lust and betrayal. Who will fall first?
It started when I chose to remain with them. The ones who took me from my life and changed all the rules.
The chains binding me to my family loosened their hold. Little did I know that by taking me, Quinn and his friends began the long process of setting me free. And even as I got closer to the boys, the past always held us back. … always held us back. Keeping our feelings at bay.
The questions plagued me. Where did my loyalties lie? Who could I trust? And the biggest one of all. Could I really go against everything I knew to be with the four people who kept me captive to use me against my father?
Our secrets brought us closer. Our lies tore us apart. And it became crystal clear that every decision you make in life comes at a price.
A dark reverse harem series with cliffhangers and drama in abundance and a HEA in the final book.
Get ready for more of Ash and her boys – Quinn, Xavier, Eric and Rory.

These are not standalone books so if you haven’t started “The Devil’s Syndicate” series yet, grab book one, “Deceived”, and then jump on this one. “Defied” picks up exactly where “Deceived” left off and oh WOW. Ash admits to Xavier she wants to be with all four of them and off we go to the races. There is a rollercoaster ride of emotions with several twists and turns in the plot. With each bit of information we get, more questions arise. As their relationships change with each new revelation they become closer and closer. The buildup is intense and kept me flipping pages quickly until BAM … holy moly at the cliffhanger. Now I’m “Derailed” immediately to see what comes next!
Oh my! I love this series, this book continues the story right from where it ended in the first book, Deceived. This is a serie so you need to read the first book.
All I can say is that I love this, yes I blushed and I giggled but it is very good series and I like how in this book you do get to know Quinn, Xavier, Eric and Rory much better. Their stories are deeper than you realize and so messed up. These four men have such a strong friendship and so much trust in each other. But things do get a bit heated when Quinn realize that he isn’t the only one that wants Ashleigh, cause he thinks that she is only his girl. But she wants so much more.
I’m not gonna spoil anything, I will say that if you read it you should be 18+ cause it is steamy and spicy. Well, now I am off to read the next book.
This is a book that is addictive, compulsive, and emotional, a series that leaves you wanting more.

Book two in the series, Defied is about being true to yourself, of taking what you want regardless of the consequences. Ash had had enough about being controlled by an uncaring parent, living with her four men taught her that, they cared about her and she more than cared about them. No, she more than cared she loved them and, she would protect and care for them as long as they would let her. I found this book compulsive reading, caring was sharing and for Quinn, it was about giving what the person you love needs. Ash needed Rory, Eric, and Xav, each of them bought something different to their relationship, and he would share her if that was what it took to make her happy. I hated that there is another cliffhanger at the end of this book. The drama of the last couple of pages in this book just blew me away and now I have to wait for the next book’s release. This is a series that is addictive, compulsive, and emotional, a series that leaves you wanting more.

Truths are revealed like an onion being peeled
Defied is the second book in The Devil’s Syndicate series and continues the story of Ash and her four kidnappers/men – Quinn, Xavier, Eric and Rory. This book picks up where from the cliffhanger ending in Deceived and ends with it’s own cliffhanger.
In Defied the four men are further “exposed” as some things come out about each. Ash makes tells a truth to Xavier and boy do things get burning hot and super steamy from there with she and each of the men. There is also the continuing story of her father and the men which adds to the depth of the developing relationship between the five of them.
I enjoyed this fast-paced and packed part of the story and look forward to reading the next in the series.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is book two in The Devil’s Syndicate series. Ash’s story continues so you will need to read this series in order. Ash is in a precarious position where she is unsure who to trust. She also is changing, the ties that bind her with her family are loosening. This is a very complex relationship between Ash and her boys – Quinn, Xavier, Eric and Rory. But if she is not ready to let them go…..its wrong as she was their prisoner and revenge for her father. The story continues to evolve as these characters navigate their worlds and feelings. As always, a few twists and turns will keep everyone on their toes. Enjoy!

Defied is the second book in The Devil’s Syndicate series written by Sarah Bailey. It continues the story of Ash who has decided to stay with her captors (Xavier, Quinn, Eric, and Rory) instead of returning to her family. The novel reveals many secrets and gives the reader a glimpse of the background stories of the men. This book is full of sexual encounters and ends with a cliffhanger leading to the next book in the series entitled Derailed.

Oh the drama, tension, and HOT scenes!
This is book 2 in the Devil’s Syndicate series and should be read in order. Trust me; you want to read them in order, so you know what’s going on.
I’m pleased that we get more Quinn with Ash, but it’s not just the two of them anymore, now there is a third person brought into the, ahem, bedroom. And boy does Xav turn up the heat. This book is scorching hot. I won’t say anymore, so if like dark romance and reverse harams, start reading this serious asap! You won’t be sorry!
*Thank you to the publisher for an advance reader copy. This review contains my honest opinion.*
This is book two of the Devil’s Syndicate Series and is a great addition. These five people are all emotionally dysfunctional, but Ash provides the axis and glue to unite and heal all of them. The story is compelling and more of the background of the characters and the reasons Ash was kidnapped evolve. There are cliffhanger s at the end. Story is excellent with impeccable characters. Excellent read!

I really can’t wait for the third book in this series with how the book ends. Really love Ash and her boys. If you love dark romance, I really recommand this serie.
Things definitely heat up even more in this book as situations start to change, attitudes shift, and (some) truths are told. The drama and angst are major plot contributors in this story and the emotional turmoil will wrap you in knots. This book, literally, picks up right where the first book ended after Ash’s revelation to Xavier and it starts with his POV from her admission and oh, does it get steamier and more complicated from there. Ash, Quinn, and Xavier work to find a new normal, Eric and Rory both have a few shocking reveals they have to muddle through and we get to learn more background on the guys, some of which is really heartbreaking. All of their relationships are still changing and adjusting as they work together toward their goal – following through with Quinn’s ultimate plan. There is so much going on, this book definitely keeps you on your toes and keeps you guessing. There are several twists and turns that grab you and the ending – the cliffhanger – will twist your heart and steal your breath. I am still shaking my head, ready to get my hands on the next book in the series.
*I received an arc of this book from the author and I am voluntarily providing my honest review. If you like dark, twisty tales, full of drama, angst, and major steam…this is definitely for you. *This series also needs to be read in order to understand the storyline and characters.
