True power is never held by good men, only the most perfect of villains. And she and I are both villains… I stole her, and she’s so very angry. The cartel princess doesn’t like being a pretty little pawn. She fights me when she should fear me. But oh, how her defiance excites me. She would kill me if she could, and I’d ruin her if I had an ounce less control. What a twisted game we play with … What a twisted game we play with sweet threats and cruel promises. I crave her madness in the most depraved ways because I know she’ll be so beautiful when she bleeds.
A queen who could set the world on fire and a king who would call it rain. Two very bad people who want very bad things are never safe together.
Some love stories have no heroes.

OMG!!! Sucked in from Page
It all starts in the prologue… A young man walking out of the room the new leader of the Russian Bratva. How he became the new leader some might think was callous. But what it was, was very cruel!
Now 12 years later, the pieces are all falling into place. The years of planning out the strategy is finally going to pay off. So many people have died, so many people are now under his belt. Victory is in the stars.
Camilla is an unexpected piece that Ronan has gained. She is testing him, teasing him, tormenting what he has always stuck to. They both like things rough, they both like blood.
This is one heck of a RIDE!!! Sat down and didn’t get up till I hit the last page and what a last page it was…
Please don’t stab us!!!
Are you kidding me! Bring on Book 2 STAT!!!
What….The….I mean, REALLY??? Who leaves someone hanging like that and then beg me not to stab them??? Wtf!!! Seriously, I should be asking what kind of twisted, effed up kind of book did I just read, but instead I’m sitting here wondering just where in the hell did I lose myself!?!? I shouldn’t like this kind of book, right?
It’s just that freaking dark, dirty, and twisted.
It’s like knowing that you should just look away. You should just pretend that you are not seeing what you’re seeing, but you just can’t do it….no matter how bad it is….you just keep on looking, reading, and thinking to yourself who would be so twisted as to write this kind of mind twisting f***ery.
That’s not even the worst of it….I’m questioning my sanity as to the fact that I floved every minute of it. Yeah, I know right? I actually couldn’t get enough of it, so now that makes me just as twisted as the two brilliant authors that wrote this filthy, twisted story.
HMMMM….
I’ve read what I thought was dark and twisted before, but nope, never before this dark and twisted.
I can’t wait to see what kind of f***ery that I’ll be led into the next book. Does that make me bad???
Happy Reading Everyone!!
I love Stevie J. Cole and LP Lovell when they write together. I’m also obsessed with the dark reads and mafia. BUT WHAT DID I JUST READ??? It was dark, twisted, but so dang sexy. Both Ronan & Camilla love control. But Ronan, he just exudes dominance and power everywhere he goes. Camilla was raised to be tough, don’t show weakness, and always fight. She’s not one to show or feel any kind of fear.
These two characters clash like no other character I’ve ever read about before and I love it. This story twists, turns, is full of blood, depravity, lust, and sexual tension.
If you are looking for a dark read this is the story for you, but if you want the sweet love story then keep on looking.
I so need more of these two characters, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!
While I wouldn’t call this a romance, it is full of suspense and makes for quite a compelling and erotic read. The story is dark and twisted, going inside the minds of two people who understand what it means to do whatever it takes to achieve their goal. Ronan takes Camilla hostage and soon realizes that he may have found his match. She’s just as ruthless and cold-blooded as he is and neither of them have any compunction about bloodshed – seeing it or causing it. Their story is packed full of explosive interactions, intrigue, betrayal, and mind games, all leading up to an absolutely mind-blowing cliffy that leaves the reader dying to know what’s next.
Stevie J. Cole and L.P. Lovell bring us an intensely dark mafia romance that makes being bad look so good. BAD is the first in a new series entitled, Bad. Dirty. Power. and gives each in spades.
Powerful and dangerous are two words that describe both Ronan and Camilla. When they are together their hatred and attraction combust into blue-hot flames that would burn most people. It is a constant battle between these two and you never know who will end up on top.
“I want to dance in the flames with him and feel my skin peel away in the heat. I want to walk the fine line where power, life and death all combine.”
Ronan was first introduce in the Wrong series and I have been dying to read all about him. I was not disappointed! You get to experience all his dirty ways and see how bad he really is, plus he is super-hot! I would not mind being held captive by him, just saying Camilla is a lucky girl. Ronan is not the sweet, romantic man that most women fall for and I am all over that. I never seem to fall in line with what others think and want, so he is just my type.
“Some men command power while others simply are power. This man wears it like a second skin, an impenetrable suit of armor.”
Camilla is just as bad as Ronan. She takes everything he has and gives back more of her own. I love to read about strong powerful women who do not just accept their fate but fight it, even when fate is giving them what they want or need. It makes for a wonderful story and allows you to connect with the character; I mean who doesn’t get in their own way sometimes. It is our nature to fight until fighting is no longer an option. And fight these two do.
“I want to feed his weakness so that I become it; unhinging all his darkest secrets until he’s ripe for picking.”
All the hatred Camilla and Ronan hold for each keeps you turning the page to see what they are going to do during their next confrontation. From the first page, I was captivated. I devoured this story much like these two characters devoured each other. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you choose to pick this one up, but be prepared to demand more, because that ending, oh man that ending. I cannot wait to see where the next part of this series takes us. FOUR stars!
