“I dared to dance with the devil. And it was worth every excruciating, enthralling moment.”
Those are the words of Aislinn Granville, daughter of James Granville, Manhattan’s District Attorney currently running for Mayor. It also describes exactly how I felt reading book 1 in this exciting duet!
Aislinn runs a political consulting firm and is genuinely a stand up person; a good girl. So, how does she end up not only mingling with the likes of fixer Damon King, a known hacker, murderer, and criminal mastermind, but actually counting on him to save her life?
OMG….THIS BOOK!!! I could not put it down. Being the enormous fan of the TV drama Scandal, this book was like literary candy for me. The deviousness, mystery, lies, intrigue, dirty talk, chemistry and hot sex…I devoured it! Damon King was one naughty mind, filthy mouth, and a dirty set of hands that Aislinn desperately wants all over her. I cannot blame the girl! Every woman needs a night with a man like Damon…the anti-hero type with major possessive and protective instincts.
“One-I don’t date. And two-I’m the filthiest MF’r you’ll ever meet, in ways you’ve never even imagined.”
The chase in this book, the banter and the anticipation had me squirming, and laughing. Aislinn was sassy, confident and gave Damon a fight. I loved that about her almost as much as he did. This heroine is a handful, honestly the likes of I’ve never seen. She makes one of the boldest moves I’ve ever read in romance reads!! I’m not sure how Tara Leigh plans to top that in Corrupt Savior, but I want a from row seat to find out. Damon is full of surprises so I NEED THAT BOOK!!
“Of course, Aislinn Granville is already caught. All that remains to discover is how hard she fights the lure.” Do yourself a favor…Give it up Aislinn!!! lol <3
This is an edgy political romance, but one written so you'll have plenty of laughs along the way. I did not find it to be dark or contain triggers. It was just consuming and captivating from beginning to end! When I wasn't biting my nails or squirming out of my seat, I was laughing. Tara has given us two strong characters in Damon and Aislinn, each jockeying for power over the other. Each convinced that they don't necessarily need anything from the other that they can't get somewhere else or live without.
But that's the crux of the situation isn't it? Living.
When lives are on the line, who do you trust to save yours?
-Still she hesitates. "Are you asking me to trust you?"
-"No" I say. "And I'll give you some unsolicited advice. If a man has to ask-run."
This book was simply thrilling and I loved the way Tara told the story. All the details seemed essential to the story, no filler or fluff. Excellent pace! No trying too hard for forced humor, and heat that wasn't already dripping off the pages between the characters. Their chemistry was palpable! This was the first time that I've read her, and I'm counting the days until the next book in this series finds its way to my Kindle!!
If you enjoy political dramas heavy leadened with heat and great sex...this is your book.
Your monster awaits!!!
