Corruption is the key to success and I’m the collector of all debts. The first time I laid eyes on my little doll, she was dressed up—a beautiful temptation wrapped in perfection that I wanted to own. Possess. To take away from the pseudo perfect life that reeks with the narcissistic chains—the demands holding her down.She’s a pawn.The daughter of my enemy.Solimar Quintero is the future Mrs. … daughter of my enemy.
Solimar Quintero is the future Mrs. Alejandro Lucas and doesn’t even know it. She isn’t aware that the man she smiles at—taunts to come closer—is a criminal. A wanted man. A nightmare for his enemies and her future.

A hot and sexy story. With an even hotter alpha male. It had everything you wanted. Crazy obbession,drama, action and a hot chemisty. The romance between Alejandro and Solimar was a slow burn story. But once it got their it was full on. They both had a past to get over and live with and thats how they found eachother.
It was a quick and easy read. Slow burn. But very alpha male.
I am love the anti hero. The killer with a heart of gold. Loved Alejandro. He could be cruel and cold-hearted to his enemies but to those loyal to him, he is a benevolent king. Although innocent, Sol was just as hot and loyal. They make a great pair. This is not a dark romance but it can be a little twisted. Everyone but the H and h has some kind of agenda against our lovers. In the beginning it was a little slow but by 1/3 of the book the pace is rolling down hill. This is a dual point of view. Now I am going to search for the rest and read them.

I’ve read several books written by Elena M. Reyes; she has done a great job at writing a good book; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the characters.

Corrupt is a Spin Off in the Beautiful Sinner Series. You can read it as a standalone. This is Alejandro and Solimar’s story. I enjoyed it a lot! Elena knows how to create strong possessive alphas. The are coldhearted as a criminals, but the are f… hot as lovers. Solimar is a strong heroine. Young, virgin, inoccent but the attraction that feels for Alejandro is off limits and dangerous. The steamy introduction in their story, let you know how passionate are and the strong chemistry they share. Alejandro is an alpha anti hero, a criminal. A man that doesn’t have shaky hands and is impeccable with his enemies. The story is dark, gripping, full of suspense and not for the faint hearted.
Sinfully hot, sexy, and gritty.
Told in dual POV, this drug cartel story was a fun read.
Alejandro Lucas is a self made businessman and cartel kingpin. Always used to getting what he wants, he got more than he bargained for when he finally meets his enemy’s daughter Solimar Quintero.
A little predictable, but still fun sexy read as these 2 make the deal of a lifetime!
This is an excellent book. I couldn’t put it down. Very well written with excellent characters. It has a captivating story line and flows nicely. There is a beautiful chemistry between Alejandro and Solimar. A wonderful story of love and romance. I highly recommend this book.
This is a new author and series for me and I found the book to be engaging and very entertaining and it held my attention the end. The book is well written with a great plot and story line revolved around a smoking hot and somewhat honorable Colombian crime boss Alejandro Lucas, a sheltered daughter of the president Solimar Quintero, that could really do with a bit of a backbone and independence, family, and the usual crime family drama’s like betrayals, corruption.danger, kidnapping, a daring escapes and friendship. The characters are well developed with great personalities and it’s easy to relate to them even though the heroine takes some getting used to, I think the story would have been exceptional if she was stronger.

Corrupt by Elena M. Reyes is the story of Alejandro Lucas and Solimar Quintero.
Solimar finds herself in a arranged marriage with her families enemy…Alejandro. Alejandro is harden Crime boss who feels few people if anyone really but he finds something in Solimar that draws out emotions. This puts both of them on a path to the unknown with their feelings. This is a page turning Mafia romance for me. There is violence so beware if you are sensitive to that aspect of a story.
Corrupt by Elena M. Reyes. I was in the mood for something dark and twisted and this one hit just the right spot. I enjoyed the author’s attention to detail and storytelling. This story is full of drama (dark at times), action, suspense, passion, and strong characters. I recommend this to others looking for something edgy and darkish (nothing too terrible or triggering).

Alejandro has had a tough past which has shaped him to become the man he is today. Solimar is the daughter of the head of one of the most powerful mafia’s, and from the moment they meet the chemistry is explosive, but her father is the enemy. Will their love survive? This is a well written story which is gripping, raw, gritty, and with action, murder, kidnapping, which all lead to an all-consuming and steamy read. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I recommend for all.
Alejandro is a crime boss and Solimar is the daughter of his enemy. He plans to make Solimar his. Will he keep her safe? Fast-paced read with lots of twists and turns, drama, suspense and steam. Intense chemistry with great characters and lots of emotion. I really liked it.
I love to read a book that pulls no punches with the alpha character. In this case Alejandro. I like to see him taking charge of a situation, giving orders and not shy of dealing with miscreants and traitors himself in a very brutal way. He is definitely a dominant character. Solimar on the other hand is obedient and kind and when she sees Alejandro and he sees her, well! A very well written book and a super storyline with some characters from a previous series. Which because this book is soo good I will have to read. This book, unlike a lot of others does not dwell on sex and it is in the book in exactly the right place relative to the characters. A very enjoyable story which will keep you interested to the end, which in itself is different from other books. I highly recommend this book, read it and you will not be disappointed.

Corrupt is another great book by Elena! I have loved all her books and this one was no exception. Alejandro is a great alpha character and he made the book for me, I absolutely loved him and his possessiveness! I’m not a huge cartel/mafia romance reader and I honestly stay away from them, however when Elena writes a book, I’m on board no matter the subject!!
My downfall in this book would have to be Solimar, to me she was a super weak character and I get it, that’s how’s she’s mean to be portrayed being the daughter of the cartel president. She’s known her place in this world from day one and that’s hard to deviate from. I just wish she would have ended up a stronger character in the end than she was but no means did Alejandro’s preciosa make this book any less!
Elena, thank you for another great book and another wonderful alpha to add to my list!!
I’ll be honest. I think this is my favorite Elena M. Reyes book yet (and I have read most if not all of her books). I was not sure what to expect since I am still new to dark romance, but I can honestly say I was not disappointed. CORRUPT was soooo fudging good. I was sucked in from the first page and I was so damn sad when it was over. I was so engrossed that I read this book in less than 24 hours. I have been in a book slump for a while and honestly, this pulled me out of it. My go-to books are NOT dark romances, but every time Elena creates a masterpiece I honestly forget.
Corrupt tells the story of Alejandro Lucas and Solimar Quintero. Although they should not be together, they cannot help be drawn to one another from their first meeting. They know being together is essentially “taboo” but they cannot help it. Their story is filled with lust, love, heartache, betrayal, and a lot of violence. However, their chemistry is so unreal everything else tends to fade into the background. I’ll be honest, when I read a really hot scene, I’d go back and reread it two or three times before moving on. Lol
I absolutely loved this book and honestly, Elena is getting better with each book she writes. Please get this book because you will NOT be disappointed. Also, this book is amazing and she wrote things while going through some serious issues. So, all around I am in awe. I cannot wait for the next one. I received an ARC in exchange for a fair review and trust me when I say you are missing out if you do not pick this badboy up. 🙂
You never disappoint!!!! You are a rockstar. Every time I read your stories they only get better and better. I’m always ready for a new story right after you put one out. Keep up the awesome work…
Corrupt was a great story, the plot was written well, it was packed with many emotions, it was on the dark side. Elena M. Reyes did a great job on the book.
Nothing about Solimar and Alejandro’s journey was easy, it was a rough rollercoaster, their journey had many ups and downs but both were strong, fighters.
What started out one way turned into something so much more between Alejandro and Solimar, they were drawn to each other, the chemistry was off the charts, it was steamy. They were good together.
I enjoyed this book, it was great.
Thank you, Elena M. Reyes. Great work 🙂
I loved every word of this dark passionate romance between ruthless revenge motivated Alejandro and his enemy’s innocent daughter, Solimar. The author’s method of introducing Alejandro was a perfect way that highlighted the point where his life changed forever. His subsequent ruthless, violent, and methodical way of eliminating the Quintero family had a perverted sense of justice to it. Finding Solimar as a pawn in her equally ruthless family, it was quite romantic in the way the stoic Alejandro was moved by her at first sight without knowing who she was.
This was one of those books where every word was a treat as the author wove a convincing dramatic world filled with drugs, crime, power and violence. I found myself reading slowly to catch every intense detail as the story unfolded with Solimar taking over Alejandro’s focus while he continued his ruthless path to revenge and retribution.
Definitely not for the faint of heart as the gory details were executed as a matter a fact, and were often quite descriptive in a painful way. This is one author who satisfied my desire for the “bad guys” to suffer for their heinous deeds as they certainly got what they deserved.
Within all of this drama, Alejandro’s deep obsessive love for Solimar was evident. I liked the way the author created a strong heroine that was victimized but never acted like a simpering victim. She was a strong, sweet, and passionate match for Alejandro.
A keeper to be read again and again.

Elena M Reyes really knows how to give her readers exactly what they are looking for in books. Her heroes never cease to amaze me because of how possessive and consumed they become when they meet their one. When Alejandro meets Solimar, he knows right away he will do anything to keep her safe and make her his. Solimar had been in love with Alejandro for years, and as soon as he approached her, she knew he was her forever. Once you begin reading, it is hard to stop until the end of the book. I can’t wait for the next release.
Holy heck I LOVED this book. Alejandro is one hot criminal that sets his eyes on Sol his enemies daughter. Once he sees her he does everything to have her. This book had me turning pages and bargaining to myself that it would just be one more chapter and then it was 2 am. I devoured this book in one day. Fantastic mafia read.
** spoiler alert ** She was raised to be a pawn to her father’s success. He is determined to get retribution for his family’s past. Neither can deny their love. Will he get to her before it is too late? Will she get everything she has dreamed of?
I’m a sucker for this author’s books and if this is your first one, I definitely recommend the others. I loved how despite her upbringing and that she was being railroaded, she showed strength and determination in other ways. I loved how he was determined to protect her at any cost while also getting back at those who hurt his family. LOVED this duo.
