Corrupt

Page-turning and smoothly flowing read from beginning to end

—>>> Instant lust and love at first sight was what hit Alejandro Lucas square between the eyes quite unexpectedly at a night club, which worked perfectly into his plans because he discovers her father was the man on his short list of revenge, responsible for what had happened to his family fifteen years ago. Something about this girl Solimar stays the vendetta clamoring in his soul and instead fuels the beast to want her and keep her. Slow-simmering build-up of chemistry between them, the idiocy of those who dared to betray Alejandro, others with wavering loyalties, as well as the fact that Solimar already has a fiancé in the wings has him working nearly overtime to keep control of his organization. Solimar’s heart is innocent and uncorrupted; she does not see the intent of people around her, but her role in her family has been made crystal clear by her parents. This is a dark and gritty read at times, but throughout it all, we see Alejandro and his developing passionate devotion to Solimar and the promises he makes to her and keeps. A page-turning and smoothly flowing read from beginning to end!

“For someone who’s known as a criminal, you’re very romantic.”

“Only with you. No one else sees this side of me.”

Corrupt by Elena M. Reyes is a full-length spinoff from the Beautiful Sinners Series.

Buttt, they are awesome reads so you really should check them out!

Okay, now back to Corrupt, told in dual POV get ready for a cartel romance filled with suspense, steam, vengeance, and corruption. Oh yeah, and a possessive alpha who doesn’t think twice about putting a bullet into anyone who crosses him or his preciosa little flower and a heroine who is finally finding her own voice after years of being silenced.

Yᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ ᴀ ᴛᴇᴍᴘᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ I ᴄʀᴀᴠᴇ. Mʏ ᴅᴇsᴛʀᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ᴀɴᴅ sᴀʟᴠᴀᴛɪᴏɴ.

Alejandro Lucas has gone from a coffee farmer’s son to a ruthless Columbian kingpin, all in the name of vengeance. But what happens when the one woman that makes your heart beat is the daughter of the family you seek to destroy?

Solimar Quintero, the president’s daughter. Solimar has been treated as a show pony the majority of her life, and now is being used as a pawn to further her father’s not so legal endeavors. But when she catches the eye of her family’s sworn enemy, he just may be the only one who can save her from a fate she doesn’t want…

Think of a modern-day Romeo and Juliet but with cartels, drugs, and they don’t die at the end.

Corrupt had a great storyline, characters that I couldn’t get enough of (even though Solimar wasn’t my favorite- I like my heroines a little tougher), after the prologue the pace did slow a bit but it picked up very quickly once Solimar came on the scene.

I adore Elena M. Reyes’s writing! Seriously, she’s an amazing author who knows exactly how to weave a story that will suck you in from the first page to the last page. Plus, the woman sure knows how to write those steamy scenes, I mean SHEESH!!! If you’ve read any of Reyes’s releases then you already know exactly what I mean!

Yᴏᴜ ᴇᴇʟ ʟɪᴋᴇ ʜᴇᴀᴠᴇɴ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛᴀsᴛᴇ ᴏ sɪɴ—ᴘᴇʀᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ.

: Nope, no cliffhanger. Alejandro and Solimar’s story wraps up beautifully.

: There are difficult subjects that could be considered triggers. This is a CARTEL romance. If you would like to know more about what those subjects are, feel free to DM me!

OMG, OMG, OMG… I feel like I have been waiting FOREVER for Javier and Mariah’s story, Yours, and it’s FINALLY COMING! Come on November, I am sooo READY!!!!

This book was about corruption at its finest! Elena Reyes hit the mark on this one! I couldn’t put my kindle down for a second reading this one. This book centers around two powerful families in Columbia, the Lucas family and the Quintero family. There is a twist, however, in the dynamics of the families. You will enjoy the main characters, Alejandro and Solimar. This book is a must read and I highly recommend.

I loved the storyline once I dove into it I couldn’t stop reading it. The characters are well developed and engaging and the chemistry is undeniable throughout the pages.

So this book was good! I struggled a little bit for stay in the story line but I did it. Alejandro got his life turned upside down one faithful night and vowed vengeance of the ones who did it. He sees Solimar and is enchanted by her. She is granddaughter of his sworn enemy and he wants to take them down. I wanted to like Solimar but in the beginning I wasn’t keen on her. She was naive in so many ways but by the end, she finally got her backbone and her voice. It was great to see that happen. Her and Alejandro fit well together and I love how the whole family sticks together to take them down. It was great to see!

“There’s no other way to describe Corrupt by Elena as dark and dripping. The story was way much intense of what I expected at first. Elena is such a talent author of suspense and romance plot. Alejandro was such a consuming and absorbing character. Sol wasn’t the exception. Their story was indeed corrupt… don’t you love when the title of a book makes perfect sense with the story? I’m beyond impressed and amazed! Sol and Alejandro’s story was about passion, lust, romance, off the chart chemistry and ultimately revenge. I’m quite sure Corrupt is going to be my favorite book of Elena but she has something special in her writing that every book of her turns out to be my favorite. I don’t want to give details about their story and what they went through or how things started because that’s something you have to enjoyed for yourself while reading and trust me you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend you this book!!”

Alejandro’s life was reset and molded fifteen years ago by Columbia’s president and his father. From a coffee farmer to El Patron. Solimar has loved him since she saw pictures of him when she was fifteen. This is a spin-off of the Beautiful Sinner Series and is a wonderful addition. Alejandro and Solimar’s love story is surrounded by threats, death, murder, torture, deception, and lies. Great story with impeccable characters surrounded by excellent world building.
