Singular tastes. That’s what the Wilders are known for. I’m no exception. The world sees me as nothing more than a hedonistic pretty boy, but things are not always as they appear. One thing is certain. I’m a man who knows no boundaries. With no soul and no conscience, I’m free to take what I want. Including a deadly former covert agent with a sassy mouth and an angelic smile. Delilah doesn’t know … angelic smile.
Delilah doesn’t know it yet, but when she left her clandestine lifestyle behind, she waltzed right into mine.
Now I’m free to enjoy her as I please.
Decadent is the fourth book in The Devil’s Due series. It is a standalone book, but it does contain spoilers, and is best read after Bound.

Delilah was a CIA Agent until she had to testify in front of congress and then her career took a nosedive. Now she works for Smith’s security company that is employed by JD Wilder. She has her own op going on right now though and Gray Wilder has pictures of her working that op, which could put her in jail for a very long time and get her killed, or physically harmed. She is loyal to Smith and she’s best friends with JD Wilder’s wife, Gabby.
Gray Wilder is not just a pretty boy, he’s so much more than what people see or know about him and Delilah is about to discover what he’s been hiding from his family for years. He actually has a couple of secrets, but the one that could destroy Delilah, or get her killed is probably the most dangerous one. He has to have her working with him though, and he will stoop to the lowest level to get her to agree.
I have enjoyed each of The Devil’s Due books, and Gray’s story did not disappoint, it actually exceeded for me. I love that he is not who he portrays himself to be and that he is so much more on multiple levels. Gray is a man that is dangerous and has no problem taking out the trash. Delilah is beautiful and strong, and she’s made for Gray. I give this story a 5-star review and so wish there were more to come. In her Acknowledgements, she states that there may be a novella to come and I hope there is. It’s hard to let these characters go. They are powerful, dangerous, and entertaining.
Throughout the Devil’s Due series I’ve been intrigued by the more than apparent connection between Gray and Delilah. I’ve eagerly awaited their story and it was so much more than I ever expected.
Gray has always been a rather mysterious, charming and enigmatic man that I was beyond curious to get to know better. Turns out he was every bit the sexy and demanding alpha that I knew though I wasn’t ready for his softer, romantic and somewhat vulnerable side that Delilah drew out. Delilah was just the fiesty and determined partner Gray never realized he needed by his side. I loved watching the exchanges between these two and how they supported one another.
I’ve enjoyed this series from the beginning and though JD will always remain my favorite loveable and growly alpha Gray definitely held his own against him. I’m a bit torn because while I loved the thrilling, suspense and emotion filled journey these amazing characters have taken me on throughout this series I am a bit sad to say goodbye. That said, Decadent was a beautifully captivating and fitting way to conclude this fantastic series.
Delilah and Gray … if there was ever two people who deserved happiness, it is those two. They both dragged their past around with them like a ball and chain. They both fit perfectly together to break those chains. Delilah and Gray were kismet. That’s how I perceived them. They found in each other what each needed to be whole. I loved how attuned Gray was with Delilah. He knew exactly what Delilah needed when she needed it. Amazing storyline. I was very enraptured with them both from the beginning. Their journey was not always smooth but they burned for each other, and you could feel it in the story!
I had already read Bound but not Depraved & Delivered before this delicious story landed on my kindle, so I went back from the beginning and I have to tell you guys that even though technically, this story can be read all by itself, you would be missing out on some seriously kindle melting word wizardry if you didn’t just take the plunge and read this entire series! Do with that info what you will …
I really enjoyed this story as it had an amazing cast of characters that were hotter than hell and it was suspenseful and filled with a ton of emotion and so much more.
Delilah was an awesome character as she was witty, smart, beautiful, a sexual creature who enjoys the pleasures of the BDSM lifestyle and loves dominating men especially in the bedroom but, out of it, it was a whole different story.
She comes off so strong and brave and wears a mask most of the time and can be a bit prickly but, she has insecurities like the rest of us, and we loved seeing that side of her where she opens up and lets all the emotions she keeps locked up-flow because it’s a beautiful sight to see and it just showed us that she was a survivor and was stronger from learning those lessons and is just as beautiful on the inside as she was out.
I loved when she matched whits with Gray he may secretly own her body and soul but, he will never know it, but, their sexual tension always being off the charts is scorching and hard to ignore but, one thing for sure is she will always demand respect and wants to be treated like an equal when it comes to her skills and knowledge outside the bedroom inside the bedroom all things are negotiable.
I loved the constant struggle she had fighting the attraction she had for Gray her mouth has no problem putting the alpha in his place but, her body is always playing the traitor and craves something he can only provide. Talk about some hot and heat discussions packed with whit and heat and a lot of sexual tension.
Gray is a total alpha always in control in life and in the bedroom. Dominate who is powerful, rich, sexy as all get out and a man who is a mystery because who he lets people see him as is not who all he is because he holds a deep dark secret that could be his total undoing. You could not help but, be drawn to the man and his alpha and dominating ways that voice alone melts a girl’s heart as well as their panties.
It seems on the surface that he is cold-hearted, and ass, a rich playboy who only cares about himself and is not capable of any feeling or softness but, we loved seeing him being vulnerable the few glimpses he gave us which makes him feel almost human and no matter how he always seems and always in control, he carries a lot of pain and regret and guilt within.
Overall this was an awesome story with tons of hotness and tons of sexual chemistry and ton of emotion and a lot of suspense and a romance that makes it clear from day one that Gray and Delilah were meant to be soul mates but, would travel a really rocky road before getting there.
This was a first-time author for me and I have to say that the author has hooked me and I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. I loved her style of writing, and she drew you right in from the very first pages and kept me glued to the pages the entire time we really loved our first story from Ev

As Gray finally begins to lay all his secrets out, Delilah begins to prove she is equally his match in all things! You might want to buckle up good for the roller coaster of emotions that you go through as they earn each other’s trust! They play off each other so well I wouldn’t hazard to guess there is anyone who would be more perfect for each of them. I love them so hard!
This tale is so creatively woven before I knew it, I needed a reminder to keep breathing as I was waiting for that inevitable other shoe to fall, all the while ripping through each chapter only to be met with unexpected twists and turns.
Though I’m not too happy with Mrs Charles since I tried to savor Gray and Delilah knowing the series is over. Mrs Charles’s writing needs to come with a warning label – “can’t stop at just one” whether it’s pages or books, I don’t know, but you just can’t!
I ended up finishing it so quickly as I snuck in every chance I could! I would not recommend this unless you like quick reads that makes you want to re-read it as soon as your done before you can move on!
Omg this book is so great! The suspense and sexiness had me turning those pages as fast as I could. I love a strong heroine and Delilah is perfect. And don’t even get me started on Gray. Hot damn, that man had me swoooooning!
If you like romantic suspense, you will definitely want to give this one a read! It’s the fourth book in the Devil’s Due, but it’s a standalone!
I was excited about Gray and Delilah’s story because of the little bits in the previous books you could tell there was something between them.
This book completely blew up any previous notions I had of the connection Gray and Delilah shared. It was a connection that was apparent from the very start and with every page they burrowed more deeply into each other’s soul. They had a rocky start but even in those moments you could feel the fire between them there has never been a more deserving couple of a happily ever after than Gray and Delilah they both carried so much weight on their shoulders because of the past and in each other they found the peace they needed.
Gray and Delilah are my new favorite Devil’s Due couple. The storyline was alluring with the ferocity of Delilah and Gray’s connection and the high stakes endeavor they were a part of had my feels all over the place, delectably steamy scenes, moments I was on the edge of my seat holding my breath while my heart was racing reading nonstop from the first page to the last.
5 stars
This book is combustible! Delilah and Gray are fire and when you get too close, you’ll surely burn! In previous books, we knew there was something there between these two but they blew past all the lines I previously saw for them.
Gray is, let’s face it, a grade A asshole but honestly, that’s how we like him. Delilah is his match in every way! A true badass in her own right, she takes no shit from him or anyone else. But when they begin working together, he’ll push her to her limit, at work and in the bedroom! Fantastic, deeply compelling characters and complex storylines you just can’t pull yourself away from are the hallmarks of Eva Charles’ books and she ends this series with a bang! Another must read!

Decadent by Eva Charles is book 4 in The Devil’s Due Series. This is the story of Gray Wilder and Delilah Porter. I have read the previous books which of course added to my enjoyment and understanding of this one. But with that said you could make it a standalone book if you really wanted too…I would just hate for you to miss this great series. Gray and Delilah’s story was everything I wanted it to be. It kept me turning pages just like this series did. I do recommend this book and of course this author’s writing.
This is the 4th book in this amazing series and is Gray ad Delilah’s story. These two are both haunted by their pasts, and they do not get off to the best of starts, but the chemistry between them is explosive, so they spend one intense and magical night together. Delilah brings out another side to Gray This is a well written flawless story which is action packed, and filled with suspense, danger, and love, which all had me intrigued and hooked throughout this riveting page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend for all.
Eva Charles has made a fan out of me. The world of The Devil’s grabs your attention and keeps asking for more. The same is said after reading Gray and Delilah’s story. I look forward to reading more from this author.
Exciting, poignant, steamy romantic suspense
—>>> There are so many layers to Gray Wilder that it would make your head spin. But that is only if you were fortunate to get close enough to him to have his past or secrets revealed. Most of what Charleston society knew and saw was that he was an experienced Dom and owner of the social club Wildflower. But when Gray makes a demand from Delilah which she could not turn down, it reopens the door to the intimacy they had experience briefly as well as a myriad of emotions they both struggle to control while on a very important mission together. Exciting, poignant, steamy romantic suspense!
Another fabulous book by Eva Charles. The story between Gray and Delilah tabes you through twists and turns. I could not put this book down. I have read every one of Eva’s books and each one just gets better and better . She holds your interest throughout and I was on the edge of my seat Especially towards the end of the book. This is a must read. I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Don’t pass this book up.
Gray Wilder and Delilah Porter are the couple I have been dying to read about and the wait was worth it. This author certainly knows how to lure her readers into the story and keep then enraptured with her wonderful words until the very end.
Although Delilah and Gray both fought against the mere idea of a relationship, their chemistry was always sizzling on the extremely red-hot side. In this story, it’s great to finally get to know them both on a deeper level. They are both determined and actually quite stubborn at times as we’ve seen before but they have so much more in common too. They are very thoughtful and caring of other people, they both though needed to be more like this deep down with themselves to a degree.
Be warned, you will definitely be a participant in this book just like the other books in the series and you’ll experience all of the emotional highs and lows with the characters. The intimacy level is so steamy if you wear glasses they might fog up. This is because they are so well suited as a couple.
With terrific characters, lots of steamy passion, plenty of drama, and some intense moments where the action really gets your heart pumping, this love story is a winner.

This was a stunning read by Eva, I was very intrigued with how Gray was going to be portrayed after reading briefly about him in previous books in this series, but he turned out to be so much more than I was expecting!!! Talk about keeping secrets, who knew!! Certainly not Delilah or his brothers, they didn’t know what Gray had gotten into and why…. he was just Gray, playboy, sex club owner….
Delilah used to work for Gray at Wildflower, working undercover for the Government, then ended up working for Smith. She is strong and fierce, more than capable of looking after herself, but also missing out on using her skills in the field. But Gray needs her for a job, knowing she is a perfect fit for what he needs, and talks Smith into letting her go. But she needs to learn and train, and it’s Gray’s job to make sure she is skilled in everything she might need.
This was a great story line, full of drama and suspense, and very believable! The connection between Gray and Delilah was nothing short of electric, he is the alpha and Dom in every way, but he has to earn Delilah’s submission, something she does not give without a fight. But the job they are doing needs her trust in Gray to be believable, and she must learn to follow him no matter what.
Lots of steamy and hot scenes, many BDSM related, but also full of suspense with the full on story line, both characters str carrying lots of guilt from their past lives that they carry with them and have made them the way they are. The plot was very intense at time and had me hanging on with baited breath to see what happened. Gray and Delilah have turned out to be my favourite couple from this series. A fantastic read!
Decadent was delicious! 5 stars
I loved this book! Gray has shown a charming playboy facade to the world, and I was living to see what was underneath that! He will always be charming, but he was also Dominant (yes, that is meant to be capitalized), demanding, controlling, exacting, sexy, seductive, swoony yet vulnerable and caretaking. He was a perfect delicious mix of a man! Delilah’s past made me heart hurt for her, but it made her who she is. She was a fighter, feisty, sassy and obstinate. When she let herself be vulnerable, it was beautifully heartbreaking. When Gray and Delilah met, they had an immediate spark and attraction, but things have happened between then and when we start this book. Their banter during the book was divine! They get under each other’s skin, but do they feel more for each other? There were twisty turns in this book that I just gobbled up like I was feasting! This book took me on a roller coaster of emotions: smiling and happy, sad and crying, hot and bothered and shocked and gasping out loud. If you want this kind of ride, then read this book because Decadent was a delicious, divine feast that I loved! I love and recommend this whole Devil’s Due series (start with Depraved)!
*I received an advanced copy of this ebook for my honest review that I am voluntarily leaving.*
Holy Smokes!! This is a smoking hot, steamy read with a whole lot of dirtiness. Gray and Delilah’s story took me by surprise and for one hell of a ride. These two together set those pages on fire and their whole story had me feeling all the feels. I fell in love with their story from beginning to end. This whole duet was so worth the ride that every book took me on. Eva Charles is an amazing author that always gives me what I look for in a great book.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!
I am a huge fan of Eva Charles Devils Due series and I was eagerly waiting for Gray and Delilah’s story. After having read all 4 books I can now say that Gray Wilder is by far my favorite alpha male. Gray and Delilah have chemistry that smokes up the pages and I was hooked from the first chapter! The play between them is palpable. This book moves quickly and to me it never seemed to lag. I recommend reading all of the Devils Due books in order so you have an understanding of the truths that come out. Definitely read it!! You won’t be sorry!
