Their fathers were business partners and they were childhood friends growing up. Until there was some type of disagreement between the partners and then Violet and Devlin were forbidden from seeing each other. But as I’m reading, nothing everything is as it seems and now I’m intrigued as to actually what the game is. Oh, not on Violet’s end. She’s truly painted into a corner and playing by rules that are literally over her head. Devlin has me baffled as do both the fathers. I can’t wait to see where this storyline goes. There’s action, intrigue, betrayal, and so much tension in the air from the chemistry. This kept me glued to the pages and I couldn’t read it fast enough …. And now I need to wait for the next book.
Great read. Devlin knows what he wants and that’s Violet. Violet is now Devlin’s but someone else wants her. I can’t wait too read more of Devlin and Violet’s story.
This books picks up right where bk 2 leaves off.
Violet has fallen into a situation beyond her wildest imagination.
Meanwhile Devlin is going crazy trying to find her.
He’s ready to make a deal with the devil if need be.
Holy Smokes the twists and turns this ok takes is jaw dropping!
Secrets come to light and are revealed.
That are stunning!
Very well written.
It’s so captivating and intense.
Filled with so much suspense.
That had me on the edge of my seat.
After that cliffhanger I can’t wait for the next book!
Our heroine is in trouble and an old family friend turned enemy offers to help, but she doesn’t know if she can trust him. Plus he is asking for more than she thinks she can give. But does she have a choice?
This is a steamy romance story with elements of D/S. The story is very well written and easy to read, but that doesn’t make is simple. There is a lot of complexity here as to who is the good guy and what is the right thing to do. To support that, we also get well developed characters that each have their own agenda, hopes and fears. Plus there is a lot of chemistry between our hero and heroine which adds spice to the will-she-won’t she dynamic. Overall, I found the story to be highly enjoyable and look forward to reading the conclusion.
Highly recommended.

This is the first book in the Fallen Dynasty series, and great beginning.
Violet Cabot and Devlin Windsor have know one another for years as theirs families were close.
Violet has had a crush on Devlin since she was a teen. Her dreams were only dreams.
One day she got black envelope from Devlin. He is offering help for her father in exchange for her to become his captive.
This signature on the bottom will change everything.
Enjoy this beginning of a series book. Yes, this one ends on cliffhanger

4*
Delvin has lusted after Violet since they were younger however their families were enemies and still are.
The time has come for him to make his move now that she has turned 18.
She needs him, he wants her.

Desperate for part 2
I always know when I read a book by Isabella I’m going to love it. She captured my heart with her writing a while ago under her other pen name. Violet and Devlin’s story captured me from the beginning. These two officers did an amazing job writing this story together it wasn’t overly long but it definitely packed all the details and punches that a story should have. Violet was raised by her dad after her mother passed away and she was giving everything she ever wanted and Devlin’s parents where workers with Violet’s father. I couldn’t put it down until the very end. It was highly addictive, all-consuming, hot as hell and a book you don’t want to miss out on. I also really enjoyed the fact that this book had Duo point of view so that we get to read what both characters are thinking. I cannot wait till the next one to see where this goes especially after the cliffhanger.
Holy shit this book was amazing!! I have read many books by Isabella Starling but this book blew me out the damn water. The explosive chemistry between Violet and Devlin was not only hot as hell but it made me want to sell my own soul to the Devil. I definitely can’t wait to see what the authors do next with this amazing 6-book series. Congrats on the awesome book Ladies.

An intense and entertaining read of two strong willed individuals both fighting to get what they want but feeling the chemistry pull between each other making things even more complicated than they already are I can’t wait for book 2 to see how everything unfolds

This is book 1 in a new series and so it ends on a cliffhanger so be prepared. The story is great and is setting the scene for the rest of the series. The main characters have chemistry together that they can’t really act on in this book. I’m looking forward to the next book to see where this story goes as I’m intrigued to see how the relationship develops.

disappointing.
I loved this book! I could not get enough of Devlin and Violet. Devlin was perfection. He was hard on Violet but behind the scenes he was her protector. I cannot wait to read the next book and see who the caller was.
She was caught in a trap from which she may never escape!
by sewsummore
Violet had lusted over Devlin from the time she first knew what lust was all about. Since their fathers were partners they often spent time together while waiting for the father’s meetings to end. For Devlin his attraction to Violet started when she blossomed into a beautiful young woman at sixteen, but soon after that their father’s partnership ended and so did their time spent together. He a never forgotten Violet and watched over from afar but when her father was arrested for treason he was able to make he his in every way. She agreed to become his property and in return Devlin promised to have her father freed. By this time, Devlin was not a adolescent youth but a man with dark desires of pain and punishment, demanding submission to his dominance. The story ends abruptly at this point to continue in the next book in the series. I found this story one of young love transforming into dark desires compulsive reading and at the same time I yearned for the sweet innocence of their teenage years. Violent is caught in a trap from which she may never escape, fashioned by a man who does not hesitate to take what he wants regardless of the consequences.

Excellent beginning to this dark romance series.
This is the first book in this series and does end on a cliffhanger. Devin and Violet’s story will continue in Devil’s Toy and I’m looking forward to reading more of their story.
Violet has always had a crush on Devlin, but their fathers are rivals and don’t want them anywhere near each other. On top of that Devlin is eight years older than her and so he breaks her heart by telling her she’s too young for him and walks away. When she turns eighteen and her family falls from grace Devlin is there offering her a deal with the devil. This is an intensely intriguing story and I can’t wait to read more of Devlin and Violet’s story.
I am a long time fan of Isabella Starlings but with her collaborating with Kelli Callahan and my first book by Kelli to of reading. So going into this I knew I would love it and I wasn’t proven wrong. It was a quick read but lacked for nothing. It took me on a hell of a ride and had me hooked at the very beginning.
I adored young Violet. She is only 18 and has spent her life pretty sheltered, although she had lost her mother at a young age, her father worshipped the ground she walked on. She honestly got everything her heart desired. At a young age, she started hanging around Devlin. Both Devlin and Violet’s parents did business together. The thing is Devlin is a little older than Violet but he knew one day he would make her his. When Violet is stuck with nowhere to go she ends up in his hands… And Devlin is known as the Devil for a reason…
What transpires throughout the book had my mind on overdrive, my heart pounding and quite frankly I was very much squirming in my seat from the heat.
These authors take us down a dark, hot and all-consuming love story that had many twists and turns throughout the book that I did not see coming. Part of me thought I knew where they were taking this story and these two but then I was so thrown off and taken through a tunnel of twists. Like I said this wasn’t a massive long read but the authors didn’t miss a beat.
As the characters came together, and the chemistry continues to grow, I could see that Violet had a submissive side in and Devil (Devlin) a dominant side. So these two together…? Woah… That’s all I have to say. But there was so much more to this than just that element. It was full of suspense, mystery, and the unknown and of course a killer cliffhanger that has me screaming and wanting to beg the authors for more!
This was packed with a punch, I was completely addicted from the first page and I couldn’t put it down until the very end. Highly addictive, all-consuming, hot as hell and a book I will go back and re-read, and of course I need the next book… LIKE NOW!!
6 Stars!!!!!
A dark must read book. This book has corrupted by mind so much that after reading Devil’s captive I started dreaming about my own Devlin who will send me a crimson letter. This book ends on a major cliffhanger and I can’t wait to know what happens in book 2
Devil’s Captive is book one and a dark and delicious start to the Fallen Dynasty series. I’ve loved each of these authors for years and their writing combination is fantastic. Devlin and Violet’s story is filled with intrigue, betrayal, suspense, drama, lots of steam and a cliffhanger that left me anxious for the next book in the series.
Delvin and Violet were friends when they were younger. However after her father was led away in cuffs for money laundering with terrorists her family lost everything. Violet responds to a letter that Delvin sends her and thinks maybe he wants to help her family. She is completely wrong. Delvin wants to won and humiliate her and once she is where he wants her nothing good comes of it. Will she break free of Delvin? Will being around Violet change him from the cold hard man he is?
This is a great story that will draw you in from the first chapter on. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.
This is the first book in a series and ends in a cliff hanger.
