Loved it!
I recently met Skye Warren, and so devoured this book and loved it! Now I know what everyone is saying about her style, her steamy scenes and her page-turning plot lines. I’m on a mission now to finish all the rest of the books in her series.
This is a Dark Romance and it stayed with me a long time. I loved it.
The Pawn is a dark and sexy new adult romance with characters and a story that will have you struggling to decide how you’re truly feeling towards them. Skye Warren’s writing will make you unable to step away from Avery and Gabriel. I can’t wait to unravel more of the mystery behind Gabriel Miller in The Knight.
This is a dark and captivating tale. Avery seems to have the world and her feet then her world falls apart. Gabriel Miller is dangerously powerful but will he be her downfall or her salvation? This story is so well written and flows so freely you don’t want to stop reading, you just want to know how it will end.
This is the first of 4 books. Made me hurry on to book No. 2!
Hot. Steamy. Full of alpha males who are deadly and handsome. Sign me up! Be forewarned you’ll immediately want to read the rest of the series.
Skye Warren has cornered the market on steamy, well written romance. I hate to use the E word, because this books powerful plot is so much more. I love romance with a hint of intrigue and this story’s play on mythology, strategy and powerful passion has it all. Warren knows her craft and uses just the right words to portray an innocent young virgin trapped by a powerful alpha male that has ruined her family. Learning the real history of her father’s sins and the secrets she didn’t want to know about her wealth, Avery’s brave, young spirit tackles the bowels of the underworld and places herself on the auction block to save what’s left of her worldly goods. Vulnerable and a little broken, she hasn’t lost her spirit. She is prepared to make it through the experience of selling her virginity to the highest bidder unscathed. Descriptions of heated anger mixed with molten desire are chemistry for explosive sexual encounters that will have the reader biting their own lower lip. Gabriel Miller is handsome, sexy and dangerous. Warren warns us, through the thoughts and calculations of her young heroine, that Gabriel’s desire is born from revenge. The writer fills the reader with heat, anger, fear, and tribulation with her character’s twist of fate. Don’t miss this suspenseful titillating addiction to the game of love and revenge.
Great writing and kept me reading, problem is it is a deliberate cliff hanger without specifying this. This should be “Part 1” or very clear so the reader knows what they’re getting into.
Never came across a book like this, I recommend all three books in this series. Its really emotional and yep, a beautiful story, really a page turner. Can’t put in to words.
Dark & twisted. The characters are so perfect for each other. This book is so steamy its so hard to put down.
“Every pawn is a potential queen.”
One word. Perfect.
I had a mild panic attack because book 2 hasn’t been released yet. Where has Skye Warren been all my life? This was incredible. The pace, the sexual tension, the characters… BRAVO!
I shelved this book into my favorites section, but now I’m scared. I hope I didn’t just jinx it. Don’t you hate it when the first book was absolutely mind blowing, and then the second book just wasn’t as thrilling? And then you just want to cut your heart out with a dull blade because you’ve been waiting forever for the rest of the story but all you ended up with was disappointment? (I’m just joking… not really)
The story is about Avery. She’s the perfect daughter and has it all. Good school, good grades, wealthy father, engaged to a young man going into politics. Her amazing life ends when Gabriel Miller comes into the picture.
He takes everything away from her.
No more money. No more college.
On top of that, her father is sick and needs expensive medical care.
So she sells her body and soul to the devil himself.
Gabriel has the upper hand. He’s older, experienced, and calculating. There are moments when he is like a savior, and then he suddenly becomes cold. He is such an enigma, and I can’t stop thinking about him.
Gabriel and Avery play each other like a chess game. Avery’s inexperience and innocence is sometimes a disadvantage, but the game isn’t over. I can’t wait for book 2. This is a must read!
Very sexy.
This book draws you in and keeps you guessing.
I absolutely loved the whole series. Such an intelligent and imaginative writer!!
