Torment – Angel Devlin and Tracy Lorraine – This was one of those love and hate books. The reader knows that Deacon is setting Mia up to get revenge on his father, but it’s clear that they really are falling in love with each other. Honestly, I got stuck right before Deacon detonates his plan because I didn’t want it to fall apart. But watching Mia start putting her life back together was my favorite part of the story. If you like feeling tense for a whole book waiting for your HEA, here is a doozy! Happy Reading!
This is the 1st in a new series and is Deacon and Mia’s story. Deacon is wealthy, broody, ruthless, and dangerous, and is on a mission of vengeance. Mia is from a wealthy background, when she arrives to meet Deacon for an interview, she can see through his games straight away. This is a well written story which is dark, intense, mysterious, toxic, and is a steamy story of revenge. The only downside in my opinion only, is that I struggled to connect with the characters, however I look forward to reading more in this series.
Torment (B.A.D. Inc Book 1)

HOLY BEJEBUS! I can’t even… just WOW. Round of applause for these two authors!
You looking for a bad boy alpha with huge a***hole tendencies then you’ve hit the mother load with Deacon #kingofbadboyalphas I cannot not emphasize how much I hate to love this man. He is cold, calculating, deceitful, full of revenge, and unleashing it all through the wrong person and like any typical alpha male he doesn’t realise until the damage is whole heartedly done, shattered into a million pieces.
He does things that you hope and pray he won’t go through with, I even went as far as pleading with him via the pages to stop with his hidden agenda lol! At some points I genuinely hated him sooo much and all I wanted to do was nut punch repeatedly! But then he would worm his way back in. And this cycle repeated a fair few times.
Now Mia as frustrating as I found her because she comes across as a spoilt rich girl, I started to root for her and her upcoming onslaughts that Deacon unleashes towards her and I think that’s where you see a different side to her, and she becomes more than just riches.
This is probably the first book I have EVER read where I actually questioned whether Deacon deserved any sort of forgiveness and that whether Mia and Deacon would get the HEA.
Now lets just also shine a beautiful light on the two authors that have fabulously weaved both their writing styles to create this incredible read. Not at one point can you distinguish which writer has written which parts and that’s quite an amazing accomplishment. Absolutely bloody brilliant!
“He tastes like his personality, salty.”
I think this is the first co-write of Devlin and Lorraine that I’ve ever read. How is that even possible?! Deacon King is the epitome of Sir Walter Scott’s “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”. In an effort to take down his arch nemesis he cares little for who gets caught in the crossfire and become collateral damage. Little does he suspect that he will also be one of the victims. King is unapologetic and ruthless. I spent the first 2/3rds of the book biting my nails waiting for the hammer to drop on Mia. Nail biting, edge of my seat suspense, as to how the entire situation was going to blow up. I’m happy to report that Ms. Hamilton isn’t as helpless as we initially think she is. She can best be summed up with one word: resilient.
This book took some unexpected turns and the story develops in a completely unforeseen way, which I really enjoyed. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that this is one of the hottest books I’ve ever read. Explosive chemistry that’ll melt your panties and set your kindle ablaze! The fire factor in Torment is 5 alarm!
Torment might conclude Deacon and Mia’s story but they will be featured in the next book, Ride, which follows Tyler and his potential love interest. This book does a great job laying down the groundwork for the next book in the series and I highly recommend reading it before moving on to book two.
She is tormented by him and he is tormented by his past and need for revenge
Torment is the first book in the B.A.D. Inc series and sets up the series with a continuing story-line and characters. This book is about Deacon King and Mia Hamilton. Mia is an Instagram and social media influencer who is being interviewed by the Celebrity Director of B.A.D. Inc magazine, Deacon. She is one of the “talent” on the show Park Lane Princesss and the magazine wants to get some exclusive.
Deacon is a character that is way beyond being a manwhore. Nope he is hardcore horrendous about women and his attitude towards and treatment of. I literally wanted to close this book up within the first 5 pages because you get hit right in the face with who he is.
Mia on the other hand is a sweet and somewhat naive young woman who wants to make it on her own and not live off her parents money until she lands a rich husband to live off of his money. She grew up in wealth and luxury with a former model mother and a famous rock star father who died when she was a baby.
Deacon decides to pursue Mia after she rebuffs his advances. He not only sees her as a challenge that he needs to summit but also as a way to get revenge on someone.
This story was fascinating for the most part I did like it. But I did have an issue with the fact that even though Deacon treated Mia really badly she just crumbled and became putty for him whenever he basically called or crooked his finger at her. The ending between Deacon and Mia sort of makes up for the rest of their story but I still would want to take him outside the woodshed and knock some manners and respect into him.
“She is my revenge. My vengeance. My motherfucking retribution. This is a game, princess. And there’s only going to be one winner.”
New authors to me. I love a good revenge trope, but Deacon’s idea was kind of twisted and resulted in a lot of collateral damage. What a unique storyline, I’ve never read anything like it before. There were a few little twists thrown into the mix. I would of like more depth of character about the fabulous five who run B.A.D Inc. I guess that will come as we continue reading the series. Lord have mercy, would someone please put a sock in Karla’s spoilt, whiny mouth. Mia’s ex cheated on her with seventeen year old Liberty, however I liked her straight shooting attitude, but she was way too mature for her age.
Rich girls Mia Hamilton and Karla Forbes are starring in reality TV show, Park Lane Princesses. They have magazine interviews and photo shoots with B.A.D Inc. Deacon King’s reputation proceeds him, he’s a one and done, f*ck em and chuck em kind of guy. Mia is taking a break from the male species, she’s heard all of the puck up lines and she’s not biting. At least that’s what she said.
Deacon has some serious daddy issues, whilst daddy has been AWOL, he’s been keeping Mia’s mother company. He loves nothing better than to torment and play with his prey, like a lion with a gazelle. Think he forgot the lion sleeps in his den, while the lioness does the hunting. Better stay vigilant a Deacon or you could find yourself caged.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Deacon is an alpha male does not take crap as soon as he sees Mia he wanted her and he will not stop until she is his. Mia wants to make it on her own she does not want to rely on her mother’s wealth then she met Deacon and want take his crap. The chemistry between them was hot and steamy.

Deacon King is an unapologetic jerk, and Mia Hamilton is a rich, entitled princess type. After meeting for an interview for Deacon’s magazine, they have an instant physical attraction. Mia unknowingly becomes collateral in a revenge plot that Deacon cooks up.
I like Mia, even though she makes a few questionable choices that could have saved her some grief. I loved to hate Deacon, and he definitely made some bad calls but I could understand his reasoning for some of them. It’s a well written story, and has lots and lots of super steamy content. I enjoyed the glimpse into the side characters that will presumably feature in future books in the series.
Both Mia and Deacon needed a smack upside the head. They were not characters I cared for. One being a complete jerk and the other was just blah and uninteresting.
Torment is the first book in the B.A.D. Inc. Series by Tracy Lorraine which features the unique story of Deaco, the boss of a magazine publication known as B.A.D. Inc., and Mia, a rich socialite attempting to stand on her own by promoting her new reality show. Deacon knows immediately that he wants her, but, also plans to use her against his father. I could not put this book down as the characters and plot unravels and the truth becomes evident. I highly recommend this dark book with its mysterious plot, intense mindgames, riveting storyline, drama, and steamy chemistry.

This book is intense. I loved the storyline and the characters. I’m just putting it out there that although I love Deacon he is an arsehole, he is arrogant , dominant and ruthless and incredibly sexy. Mia is a naive rich kid who wants her independence and tries to stay away from Deacon but gets pulled into his mind games. Their story and chemistry is intense. There are a few twists and turns to keep you on your toes. I cant wait to read more from this series. I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.
What a great start to this new series! I really enjoyed Deacon and Mia’s story. He is perceived as a not very likable character, but as you read you come to find out quite a bit about him. He’s not all that he says he is, is he? And Mia, loved her character. She is a rich girl but wants to prove to everyone she’s not all about fame and money. When Deacon finds out something about Mia, he makes it his mission to get her in his life, but is it for good or bad? I loved the banter between these two characters and how they both evolve during the course of this delightful book. Not to mention the sizzling chemistry between these two! I’m looking forward to the next book in this series and I definitely give this a thumbs up to read!!
I will be honest in that I had a harder time getting through this book than I usually do. The writing was fine, the story was ok, it just didn’t click with me for some reason. I really liked how Mia was trying to grow up– even if she wasn’t always successful in her attempts, she was trying and acknowledged her issues when she saw them or they were pointed out to her. She and Deacon were definitely hot together. Deacon was very immature in lot of ways while pointing out how much she was. I couldn’t get on board with his revenge thing–very high school to me. It all came together in the end, but as I said, the story just didn’t click with me.
A wonderful start to a new series. The characters are wonderfully written and the story it self is well developed. Look forward to next book.

So I was ready to write this book off and stop reading it all together but I didn’t. Deacon is a lot to handle and Mia comes up with the best nickname for him “Alpha Arsehole”. It describes him perfectly. One reason I’m glad I kept reading is that we get to see another side of him that I would have missed. Deacon has a reason for acting like he does. He is force of nature. He knows what he wants and goes after it. He meets Mia, what he thinks is a spoiled Princess but she is anything but that. He finds out some things and decides to use it against her just to hurt her.. This is about the time I wanted to stop reading. I loved Mia a lot. She wasn’t this weak vulnerable woman falling for his charm and dropping her pants every time he opened his mouth. She gave him sass and fought him on everything he said. She stood up for herself with him. She stood her ground when it came to her show and the craziness that was going down. She knew she was more then a reality show princess. I really didn’t like her best friend and I loved despite being an asshole most of the time, Deacon really did have supportive group of friends/family to rally around him when his world falls apart. The big part with Deacon is that he never knew love and never was shown love in his life. He doesn’t know what to do or say when it comes to love. I’m really glad I decided to keep reading, it turned out to be a AMAZING book!!!! I will warn you and say You will legit hate Deacon throughout most of this book but find yourself loving him by the end!!!!
This is the first in the series. This story is about Deacon and Mia it’s full of lies, deception, manipulation and steam. Deacon is a sexy, playboy a-hole alpha who is one of the founding members of B.A.D. He will do whatever to get what he wants and doesn’t care about the consequences. Mia is a beautiful woman known as one of the Park Lane Princesses and everyone thinks she is just a rich snob but there is more to her than meets the eye. Deacon wants her and what is suppose to be a one time deal turns to more when he realizes he could use her to take down his number one enemy.

I can’t stand bullying in romance. Why would you want to read about such a terrible man? Root for him? No thanks. If that’s your thing then you should definitely read this because these ladies can write but if you want actual romance and love? Skip this one.
