These series from Penelope Sky are just so exhilarating. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the ball to drop. The saga continues with Balto keeping Cassini prisoner waiting for Lucian to make a deal. But as time passes, Cassini and Balto become more than lovers. They just won’t admit it to themselves. And Balto’s brother Heath finally meets Cassini. And what a meeting it was. The ending, as always, killed me. What is going to happen? Will Balto get his diamond back? Will Cassini ever be free? Will Lucian somehow prevail? Can not wait for The Skull Ruler!!
Another great book in another great series. Penelope Sky pulls you in and you can’t put the book down. I have loved everything I have ever read by Penelope Sky. Don’t miss this series or any other series
I really love this series it’s been my favorite so far can’t wait to see what happens next
Fantastic continuation to the series. Wow this story gets more complicated as we go!!! I can’t believe how Penelope Sky play us. She lull us into a false sense of security had us thinking that Balto was actually falling for Cassini then “BAM” were hit with a major surprise!!! This story had me on a emotional rollercoaster the whole time. But I’m still super excited to see what going to happen next. Overall a great read!!! I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
OMG! I’m loving this series so much! I absolutely cannot wait until the next book comes out. I love the chemistry between Balto and Cassini. Balto is so strong and dominating. Cassini wants her life back. I can’t stand Lucian, he’s such a low life. I highly recommend this book/series!
A chess game based on hatred and revenge between Balto and Lucian, goes back and forth but the one thing that remains constant is that Cassini is in the center of it all. But is she a slave, a wife or someone who has means so much more? Will the game be played to the very end with Cassini being a pawn that is lost or a queen that is gained? Holy crap this book had me on the edge of my seat. Balto has so many levels he is unparalleled against his enemies. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
This series is amazing. This is book two in the series and it continues right where book one ended. I love Cassini and Balto. I am captivated by them as their relationship continues to evolve. Their chemistry is amazing. Their struggles and victories keep me turning the pages to see what is revealed next. Will Cassini make Balto realize she is all he needs or will the allure of that diamond cost him his soul? This is a definite must read! Check it out for yourself, so worth it!
Have Mercy! Book 2 in the series, evocative, emotional and sexy. Balto and Cassini reach a crossroad in their relationship. Will he give her back? Will he kill her? Or will he keep her? Negotiations completed. Who will emerge the victor…Balto or The Skull King?
It just keeps getting better! I couldn’t turn the page fast enough. Balto is sex on a stick. He truly is ruler of the kingdom and Cassini is is trying to become queen. Penelope paints a world so vivid you can actually see the characters. I laughed, got nervous, and almost cried while reading. I was so afraid for them at dinner and on the drive to Lucian. Cassini is such an honorable character and she has quickly won not only me, but Heath and Balto over. I sense an uprising on the horizon within the Underground though. What does this change mean? I foresee a happy ending, but I know it’ll be packed with guns and drama. I love this storyline and can hardly wait for the next book!
Another page turner! I couldn’t set this book down! The way the story unfolds is unlike anything you’d expect. I love Cassini and Balto. Their relationship is unorthodox and captivating. I need more!!! A must read!
Penelope sky writes amazing books every story is thrilling and so addictive that you have to finish her books the same day. The up and downs with balto is suspenseful and unpredictable. I need for the third book to come out sooner than June.
This book was absolutely amazing. It flowed great from the first book and the story continued to grow through out! I love Cassini’s fire and determination in any situation. She takes no shit from anyone including Balto. I love that Balto tried to fight his feelings but slowly comes out of his shell! You can tell Cassini is turning him into a better man. I can’t wait to see how this story ends! Penelope killed it on this book!
I love the Skull King Series! This is the second book and did not disappoint! We are learning more information on the past if the characters and that increases the intrigue! I can’t wait for the next book!!!
Another page turner! Steamy, action-packed, emotional, reflective conversations, this story has it all. I loved how Penelope was able to show both sides of Balto’s personality. Even Heath showed a more mature side. Cassini was her strong, assertive self but also showed she had insecurities.
I can’t wait for the conclusion!
One again, this book was a page turner. I love books by Penelope Sky. Such a cliffhanger at the end. I love that Balto finally is starting to realize and see he has feelings for Cassini as a person and not as a thing like her perceives. I can’t wait to see how their connection will be placed to the test and what they will have to overcome to see if Cassini can finally be free.
Second book of the series, we follow Balto taken Cassini from Lucian as payment for his skull diamond.
Thinking she was just been rescued, Cassini found her self with a new master since Balto keep saying she is just his prisoner and one day he would get bored of her so the option only to give her back to Lucian for the diamond or kill her. That’s why she must earn her price and keep him happy as long as she can.
Will the strong will, hot headed, hopefull Cassini just take what Balto give her?
Although she know she’s safer with him than with Lucian or to run away, will she be able to change Balto’s mind and keep her instead?
Interesting the flow of these characters evolve in this second book. While on the first book they only have affair with passionate lust between them, their chemistry change when they are together. They aren’t couple in the most traditional way, but the way he protect her, the way he dominate her, the way she submit, the way they fight and make up…. Too hot. And definitly interesting watching Balto keep denying his own feeling for her.
But with his reputation, can their steaminess hold ground?
Can’t wait for the third book to come
Amazing, Amazing amazing second book! I love this author. These books keep getting better and better. I love how we get to see Balto and Cassini’s relationship really develop in this book. How Balto is internally struggling on how he really feels about her and still trying to be the Skull King. The ending- It killed me now we have to wait a month to see what happens!!
I can’t get enough of these dark tales. Thank goodness there is only a month till book 3 is released. This one was a serious page turner.
I stayed up all night reading this book I couldn’t put it down I’m even rereading it now the relationship dynamic between Balto and Cassini has changed into more of a push and pull situation where Cassini is showing just how stubborn she can be and Balto balancing that out with his strength and determination I cannot express enough how grateful I am that this author stays true to her characters there’s no drastic flips in their personalities and because of that it’s so much more entertaining and easy to fall into the story I’m praying there’s an early third book release I’m talking tomorrow kind of early this series is just too good
I don’t think this incredibly talented author could write a terrible book. Even if she tried. I have loved EVERY single one of her books. After eagerly awaiting book #2, I devoured this book in one sitting. I am in love with Balto and Casini. The back and forth banter, and Casini’s stubbornness totally made this book for me. Another great book. Can’t wait for #3.
