From the international bestselling author comes a story of two shattered souls trying to find love in the dark. It’s raw, unapologetic, and carnal. “Greed was my vice. A sin that led to my addiction.” Love was not an option for Nate. He didn’t want it. Didn’t claim it. Until her. I hid the monster from everyone, including myself. Emotions were firmly locked away. As much control as I had in my … were firmly locked away.
As much control as I had in my life, I could never control my heart.
Eva exposed me.
She begged and pleaded, and I swore I’d make her kneel.
And when she finally did,
I broke the only jewel I ever owned.
*This is a dark erotic romance with BDSM elements. Due to scenes of an adult nature, this book is for 18+ ONLY.

Holy hell! This book was dark, dirty and raw to the core! It was so emotional. I’ve never read anything like it!! I can’t wait to read the rest of this series!!
This is darker than I usually read, but the dang Audible cover pulled me in and I’m so glad it did. I got sucked into the Seven Sins world and spent a lot of time sitting in my car unable to stop the audiobook when I got wherever I’d arrived. I’ll be reading/listening to more Dani Rene for sure!
Kneel by Danie Rene is the first book in the Sins of Seven series. This is the story of Nate and Eva.
Nate feels that he is a monster. With that feeling he feeds it by only being with a women once and loves to make that women cry. But when Eva enters into his life via his friend he end up asking for more than one night which leads to more.
Eva is a broken women who enjoys being hurt in the BDSM world. Eva finds Nate someone who can make her feel what she likes. But can they both become more of what they need and give up what they think they would never have?
Loved this story and looking for more from this author!!
If you think all BDSM stories are the same you couldn’t be more wrong, Kneel brings you to a whole new level. If you’re looking for that dark, dirty and downright sexy read them this is your book. Nate is that alpha male that will have you dropping your panties with just one look and command. Everyone has things they keep buried inside and both Nate and Eva have their fair share which as we get further into the story is revealed. Scenes that are played out are unbelievably sexy and intense all blended together. I loved how we’re experiencing the emotions and experiences through both their point of views. Their story never repeats where you feel as though you’re in a loop, as Nate finishes a scene Ava will pick up and continue forward. These characters, their lives are written with such emotion that it’s as though they’re sitting beside you telling you their story themselves. I have to say that I was completely shocked when secrets are exposed and that makes the story even better because you’re not expecting it at all. When you’re reading and you don’t see what’s coming ahead of time you know that the author has done an incredible job with keeping us on our toes. This is a MUST READ! I can’t believe this is only book one in the Sins of Seven Series I’m dying to see what the future holds for this club and their members. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
I don’t know why I’m so slow in reading this series I definitely don’t know what I’m missing. I have read the second in this series I know I know I’m doing it backwards . Nate oh man what can I say about this specimen of a man he was definitely all Dom in some occasions I don’t know if I love him or not but at the end the love part won out he became the man Eva wants and needs to her submissive. Love every page from the beginning to the end. Now I’m going to my next in this series and see who is the lucky one who falls to his knees.
Dark romance is my jam for sure!
Kneel is the best BDSM book I have ever read!! So full of dirty, dark hot encounters that will leave you fanning yourself. Nate is a hot alpha guy and his relationship with Eva is not what you expect. This book is so descriptive. I couldn’t put it down. Many twists and turns I wasn’t expecting. This is a MUST READ!!!!
If you life dark, dirty and delicious stories, this story is for you.
Nathan “Nate” Ashcroft is known for his dirty, humiliation and degradation ways at Sin, the luxury BDSM club in Chicago. Nate holds a monster within him that feeds off the tears, pain and pleasures of submissives who kneel before him.
Eva Gallagher’s life turns upside down when her father died. She succumbed to her mother’s evil whims, only to which one should never have to endure.While leaving home for a better future, she mees Carrick, owner of Sin, who gives her a whole new meaning of life.
The author’s goal was accomplished as it is a journey you’ll want to go on over and over again.
Welcome to Seven Sins
Club Seven Sins is proud to present two souls – stripped of everything but their base needs – each battling their own demons – each believing they are not worthy of love
This is their story it is filled with pain, greed, lust, need and above all – hope
Rene’ strips away the facades surrounding “love” redefining it in act and form -leaving you bloody and beaten but with eyes wide open
This is book one in the Sins of Seven Series
I had trouble classifying this as a dark romance as both parties consented- though I would only recommend for those with a preference for the darker genre
Kneel is raw – it is the feeding of psychological and physical need in its purest form
There is just so much to this story. The author says it all in the beginning of the book when she warns you this is not for the faint at heart. This is a disturbing story of a man, his addictions, his pain, his monster. Who are you to judge him? How about the woman that calls to him? The pain this author puts in her characters the way she holds you in place and MAKES you want to finish their story and understand their pain. To watch and hope they can heal. This is a bittersweet story and yes it is brutal. It isn’t for the faint at heart but this standalone book is worth it, if you can get past triggers and the darkness, there is light. If you can let go of it all you will kneel and claim your sin.
Love what this author does in so many ways. I don’t usually read Dom/sub books I just don’t get it but dang it if this wasn’t an amazing read. The characters and the changes and their pain and them. It was so well done.
Sir Nate has left me Greedy for more.
Dani has done it again. Each of her stories are their own little surprises and this one was no exception. Nate is the maestro of his craft and knows how to play on a woman’s desires and body like a fine tuned instrument. He feels his life with control and mastery and has forgone love. Until he is introduced to Submissive Eva.
Eva’s tale is truly heartbreaking. With all she has been through, she never made herself believe that she can be loved for her soul.
The characters and their story really resonates with the readers soul. The story is multilayered and complex, with so much emotion, angst, tearjerkers and of course some hot and heavy action that will definitely make you kneel and submit.
This is one of my top ten reads for far and I cannot wait to meet the other couples and their sins, and maybe indulge in my own through them.
“Guilt. Greed. Depravity.”
“My story isn’t filled with sweet words and roses, it’s the whips, chains, and degradation that make me forget. When I knew what I needed to do, it came easily to me.”
When you can devour a book in a matter of hours you know you have a masterpiece on your hands. Not just a masterpiece, but a PERFECTION of a series that will showcase the seven sins described in a BDSM fashion of a sense. Elated and mesmerized are words that can’t even touch the way I feel when describing Dani Rene’s first novel in her Sins of Seven series, Kneel.
Dani has submerged herself in the world of BDSM and the way you, as the reader, are immersed in her craft is unbelievable. As a fan of novels regarding D/s stories, this one is on the top 3 for 2017. I love how Dani reminds us to “…never to judge someone for their tastes.” and for that I commend her as a top author for me!
“I’m the man in the Armani suit that your mother warned you about. The one who will steal your heart while f***ing your body and when I walk away, I’ll leave you in tattered pieces.”
Nathan “Nate” Ashcroft is known for his dirty, humiliation and degradation ways at Sin, the luxury BDSM club in Chicago. Nate holds a monster within him that feeds off the tears, pain and pleasures of submissives who kneel before him. When his beast roars, it subdues him, but to find that one true sub to his Dominant side who can take his humiliation is no easy task, just ask his last submissive. Monsters don’t love, don’t lust, only degrade; plus, he never plays with the same female twice… until Eva enters the room.
Eva Gallagher’s life turned on it’s axis when her father died when she was a teenager. She succumbed to her mother’s evil whims, only to which one should never have to endure. Leaving home was the best thing she did as she met Carrick, owner of Sin, who gave her a whole new meaning of life.
Eva craves what Nate’s monster gives, but at what cost? What secrets will be shed once the monster learns to love, or can he?
“No, the man who now stands before me is the monster. The dark, depraved Master of the dungeon and he’s about to lead me straight to hell.”
Nate is an a$$hole is every sense of the word, no question about that! Dani did his character justice, but at the same time, he truly becomes the hero we all wanted him to become… eventually! He is shattered just as much as Eva and that is why these two characters are perfect for one another. I will say, Nate was hard to like, but at the end, my heart soared for him. Both of their souls need lots of hugs and mending and Dani does them due diligence.
This book might not be for everyone as it does touch on some sore subjects, but Dani writes beautifully and eloquently on it, and believe me when I tell you you will be enamored and captured when you begin this amazing erotic BDSM romance!
**Copy provided by author in exchange for an honest review**
Kneel is the first book of a new series, and it already sets the pace with Nate and Eva. Nate, a Dom, is a tortured soul, and only Eva can bring him the light he needs. Eva is damaged, feeling herself unworthy, but needing Nate to show her she is deserving of love. She was such a well written character, so complex and with a wounded soul, yet strong and smart. This book was so beautiful, with two raw souls who came together. I loved it, with its complex characters, smoking hot BDSM elements, and a simply sexy, dark man who knows how to command his woman but also make her feel good. It was a darkly beautiful story, full of heat, sexual tension, and love and amazing emotional ups and downs
Greed, by definition is the intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. Now, let’s get a little naughty and add sex into the mix and what do we get? Kneel!
Kneel, is the first book in the Sins of Seven series. It isn’t for those faint of hearts, but if you’re into the dark, you’re going to love this, I promise.
Nate, the Dominant, is by his own admission, well… greedy. He knows it, owns up to it and like all seven deadly sins is ruined by it.
Eva, the Submissive, is just that. She’s been broken by the one who should protect you and feeds her demons by degradation and humiliation. What brings these two together? Well, read it because I can’t tell you…
This book completely sucked me in, stripped me bare and put me back together again. The hightened emotional state this book put me in was incredible. I found myself holding my breath just waiting to see what would happen next. If this is how this series has begun, I can’t wait to see where the other decadent sins will take me.
Definitely looking forward to the next one.
~Enjoy
What a hot, sexy read!! I went into this book thinking that it was going to blow my mind from reading all the post about it when it was released, and boy it did not disappoint! The twist and turns, the strong sexual tension between the main characters was excellently written. I can’t wait to read the next book in this sexy Sin series!
Kneel is book one in The Sins of Seven series.
In this book we met Nathan and Evangeline.
Nathan is a successful business man. His desires run deeper and darker than most men.
He’s a member in a BDSM club,Seven Sins. Owned and operated by two of his close friends,Carrick and Mason.
Nate doesn’t date,do relationships nor does he have sex with the same woman twice.
His passion is to humiliate and degrade his sub of the moment. That’s how he gets his pleasure. The women know exactly what they are getting when they accept his invitation to play a scene. They willingly choose this form of pleasure each for their own reasons. It’s doesn’t hurt that Nate is drop dead gorgeous either.
Evangeline is a beautiful 22yr old. woman. Eva is a submissive who works at Seven Sins as an announcer of the shows they put on. She ran away from home at the age of sixteen and is always looking over her shoulders and running from her past. It was a very bad time in her young life. One night where the worst was about to happen Carrick found her. He took her in and they have been close friends since then
One night whiling working Nate sees Eva and tells Carrick to have Eva meet him in one of the rooms to do a scene with her. Eva agrees and they do a sizzling scene together.
It was supposed to be only one night.
But Nate can’t stop thinking about her. He wants another night. But that one more night turns into a three week contract because he can’t get enough of her. But Nate carries a big secret about why he choose Eva and sought her out specifically that first night.
Eva is so taken by Nate. His charm,his confidence,his charisma and his sex appeal are luring her to him like a moth to a flame.
It’s been the best three weeks for both Nate and Eva. The time they spend together has them thinking and hoping for a future together. But when Nate’s secret reason for specifically seeking her out their first night together starts to grow so bigger and so out of control leading to blackmail,he decides it’s better to break it off with her. He does it on the last day of their contract with a scene that will leave Eva devastated and crushed.
Ms. Rene brought to life very complex gripping characters.
There are times when I wanted to slap Nate silly and other times where I just wanted to hug him forever. Nate is a very complex multifaceted character. He intrigues me so much. How and why he derives his sexual pleasure from belittling his subs has my mind swirling with endless possibilities.
Hopefully Nate will show up in the future books.
I liked Eva from the very beginning. How she grew and held her own throughout the book had me admiring her that much more. Then towards the end when she finially figured out how strong and determined she is had me loving this sass feisty lady!
For me the mark of an exceptional book is when the author has characters and storylines that stay in my thoughts and linger and are out side of the box. They are original and unique and that’s exactly what Ms. Rene delivered.
For Dani Rene fans you’re going to love Kneel.
For all those who love dark romances and enjoy the rougher side of things then I highly recommend Kneel!
Excellent book and a phenomenal start to this series!
Another amazing read and an awesome debut novel for this series. Such an erotically charged, emotional, and outstanding book. This book takes the reader deep into dark places that begs to be explored, enjoyed, and left wanting more. The relationship between Nate and Eva is not one that is so simple to describe, you really truly need to read this to fully understand every amazing dynamic. This is a book that is so full of emotion, making the person reading the to wonder what is going to happen next. As you sit and read this book be prepared to not leave your spot until the last page is done. I need more!!! Thank you for allowing me to read this and write a honest review.
Wow, what a crazy ride!
Take a club full of s/m afficionados with a penchant for exhibitionism, mix in a couple of, although a bit shady characters, nevertheless good friends, add a pinch of vengeful family members, and as the main ingredient put two people in the middle, close the lid and wait for the explosion.
And explosions you get ! Against their better knowledge they fall for each other. Hard ! In every sense of the word.
Their self flaggelation along the way is sometimes a bit farfetched, but the tempo of the story makes way up for it.
I would have liked to wallow a bit longer in the aftermath of the confession scene, but that’s just me and my sick need for revenge. 🙂
Altogether this is a highly sensual, in parts deliciously non-pc story.
This book is the first in a series of seven and I can’t wait to read all of them. If you like stories with BDSM, this book is for you! I was enthralled thru this whole book. It’s the story of Nathan, a Dominant who based on the description in the book is a total hottie! And Eva, a submissive Nathan becomes enamored with. Nathan doesn’t believe love is in the cards for him until he meets Eva, but something is holding him back. Eva had a rough time growing up and wasn’t sure if a man could love her. If you want to know more, then please read this book! It is an amazingly hot read and you won’t be disappointed! Can’t wait for the next Sin to read about!
Omg! Love! Love! Love! This beginning to a new series by one of my favorite authors. Also the fact that each book is going to revolve around a different sin had my attention even before I read the synopsis. Nate is alpha male to the extreme and I love it! Can’t wait to read the next book!
