Mia is an instagrammer trying to make a name for herself not because who her mother is. Deacon is one of the owners of BAD that is covering the show that Mia has agreed to do with her best friend. Despite Deacon having a rep for a hit it and leave it type of guy, Mia cant deny her attraction for him. But once Deacon finds out more about Mia he cant stay away but it is due to someone in her family or due to the fact hes falling hard for her which is so new to him. This book was really good and I look forward to the next one.

Torment is book one in the B.A.D inc. series and what a wonderful start to the series this book is.
This book is dark, intense, steamy and completely mind twisting.
Deacon King is the asshole you want to hate but ending up loving. He is dark, cruel and his determination for revenge is unstoppable, he doesn’t care at what people think about him and does what he wants.
Everything changes the moment he mets Park Lane princess Mia.
Mia is trying to establish her own image without the shadow of her famous parents, she is determined to have her own career and earned her own living. She agrees to participate in a reality Tv show and this is where she met Mr. Devil himself Deacon.
There is so much attraction and then some between Deacon and Mia but he doesn’t like to play fair and he is bringing his walls down even though Mia makes him feel emotions he has never felt before. Deacon is set to destroy Mia and he won’t stop until he does.
I devoured this book and I need more of this series ASAP. Totally recommend this series if you love dark romance.
I’ve read a few stories by Tracy but this is my first book by these two authors together. Once I started I wasn’t sure I would like it even though I gravitate towards characters like him – the worst they are, the harder they fall. I’m glad I stuck it out. One review wrote Deacon is an obnoxious alpha-hole with zero redeeming qualities or respect for women and she hit the nail on the head. I didn’t care for Mia. I thought she was way too goody goody but yet, once again, I’m glad I stuck it out. I really enjoyed Deacon’s compassionate side against Mia’s spunky side. Getting to read Deacon’s Having to almost beg after the way he behaved was the icing. Lots of twists, suspense, drama and some tender moments.

Wow – if there was ever a book that lived up to it’s name it is this book. Torment will keep the readers felling tormented on so many levels. The pull and pull of the cocky and self absorbed alpha-male Deacon to the good girl who seems to be so misunderstood Mia. From the moment they meet each other the rich and powerful Deacon decides Mia is his next mark and he will do anything to build her up and then destroy her. But when revenge leaves a bitter taste in his mouth will hope prevail? Can you annihilate the enemy and still remain in good graces with those you walked all over to accomplish your goal? From the minute I started this book to the very last page, I was taken on a wild ride that I did not want to get off. Simply put – you need to read this book!!
The great character and storyline development kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book! I look forward to reading more from this author!
Wow!!
This story was not at all what I was expecting but was amazing!!
It was dark, hot, emotional and takes you on a wild ride! The characters are interesting and have depth and loveable traits and the story has you glued to your seat!
The combination of these two authors together is brilliant and you really need to read this!
OMG!! This book is amazing I just couldn’t bear to put it down. Although Mia was a spoilt rich girl you couldn’t help but like her her friend Karla I didn’t like to begin with though. Along comes bad boy hot Deacon who had me swooning until he turned cold on Mia in her apartment but then when he started with the Flirty but possessive texts I was hooked even more but once I realised what he was doing I was getting myself all worked up. I couldn’t believe what he was going to do to her I know he wanted his revenge on his father for leaving him & his mother but Mia was innocent in it all, it wasn’t her fault that her stepdad was an evil, deceitful, despicable human being. He had made Mia fall in love with him & he told her he loved her so how could he do that to her but also to humiliate her & expose her to the world as he did. I hated him so much I felt like steam was coming out of my ears I really felt for heartbroken Mia & when she got herself back together to get her own revenge she made me proud. His friends & family knew the way he treated her was cruel, despite his heartless exterior he really did feel bad for what he did to her & it took him hitting rock bottom to realise exactly how he felt about her & his dad didn’t care about her he was still upto his old tricks. Although I hated him so much I still wanted him & Mia to be together but after everything I wasn’t sure he deserved her forgiveness & there were still a lot of drama to overcome before they could move forward whether together or not. This story had me feeling all sorts of emotions I couldn’t get it out of my head for days. I loved how Scott & Suki’s parts in this aswell & I can’t wait for the next book.
Ruthless.
Arrogant.
Dangerous.
Sexy as sin.
Check, check, check, check,
Well, I do want to start by saying that these authors are fairly new to me, but with each book I read, the more I fall in love with the way the author’s brains work and their ability to master an outstanding read that leaves me speechless. Torment did just that. Mia and Deacon were something special and I couldn’t get enough of their story! I was completely spellbound.
I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this. I knew it would be a good read but I was expecting heavy on the heat and but what I got was an emotionally charged story that had my head spinning. I won’t dive deep into this plot but I will say that nothing is what it seems. The authors creating two amazing MC. An alpha asshole and sassy socialite and when they come together, the chemistry between these two is explosive, consuming and emotional. Not at all what I was expecting.
Go into this BLIND… I can not urge that enough. You will benefit from it so much. I read the blurb and refused to read the newer review before I jumped into this and I am so glad I did. It was such an amazing experience and I have come to love these two authors when they come together and write a story. It kept my attention from page one, all the way through to the last page. The character building and development were on point and throughout the book and as the story unfolded, I fell in love with both characters and found myself cheering these two on.
I cannot wait for book two. If it’s anything like this, I know I will need it!
5 Stars!
Deacon well hes not very enjoyable as a leading man hes arrogant thinks hes a gift to all women loves only his mom his one redeeming quality but his revenge issues will only lead to trouble.
Mia well shes a social media darling with big ideas she comes from money and her friend gets her in on a big reality show that could really launch her career and allow her to make it on her own away from the family money. But to much chemistry and gullibility lead to well her falling for Deacon’s revenge plan. But I didn’t hate the story Deacon has his moments the chemistry between him and Mia was hot I cant wait to see were this story goes next.
I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.
I enjoyed this “B.A.D. Inc” story. I like Deacon and Mia’s story; definitely not what I was anticipating. It’s emotional, a touch dark, steamy and intense with good twists. The story is interesting and very captivating. I could not put it down until the very end.
I enjoy the writing duo of Angel Devlin and Tracy Lorraine. It was again a hit for me!
This is the first time that I truly didn’t like the lead man till nearer the end of the book. Which doesn’t usually happen to me cause I see the lost little boy who has grown up to be the lost adult male. Deacon is an admitted jerk and doesn’t change even when he should. He is a well written character because of the fact that our authors didn’t change who he was. They make you feel passionately about him and his behavior throughout the whole book!
Our leading lady, Mia is strong and beautiful but snooty at certain points which means occasionally you want to give her a shake! She doesn’t change a lot either but what she does change is in the right ways not in superficial ways.
Our supporting cast as it were is filled with lots of stories I am hoping our authors will reveal in the books ahead and I can’t wait to see if I feel as strongly about them as I did about Mia and Deacon!
Torment by Tracy Lorraine & Angel Devlin
4 STARS
TORMENT was my first read from this two authors. By Tracy Lorraine I have read another 2 books, so I was familiar with her style. From author Angel Devlin this is my first read.
TORMENT is the first book in B.A.D Inc series, tells the story of Deacon and Mia and it’s written in dual POV.
Deacon is the big bad wolf of B. A. D Inc, he is thw boos, he ia rich, sexy, alpha and hot. He is BAD. He is the fuck’em & leave ’em type. He always gets what he wants.
Mia is the insta queen, the idol, the model. Her mother is a former beauty queen and her father was a faimous rock star who died when she was a baby. She grew up in wealth and luxury. She always had what she wished. Now she wants to be independent financially and make a name for herself, be faimous on her own, not because of her parents. So she dicides to start in a reality show.
Why am I giving it only 4 stars?
All of us love the bad guy, the a$$hole, the mean one, but Deacon was the meanest of all. I don’t think I ever meat a character so mean and ugly (at character) as Deacon. I couldn’t connect with him.
For me Mia was a little to weak. I wanted her much stronger, with some backbone. She had sass and sarcasm in her, but every time Deacon put his hands on her, she was on her knees at his back and call.
I realy can’t wait to read the next boiks in this series about the others members of B. A. D Inc
Awesome! Wow! Lots of excitement and plot twists! Loved the characters and their chemistry! Cannot wait for the next book!

I absolutely love Torment. It was toxic, dark, intense, steamy addictive. Each page had me glued to the story I couldn’t stop reading it. The story has enough drama, heat, mysterious. I love everything about Mia and Deacon story, it was so great. This story is everything you look for in an Alpha Male book!! This story was an intriguing that brings you in right away wondering how everything is going to end.
I received an ARC and volunteered to leave a review.
Firstly , I love this cover, I was completely drawn in before even reading the blurb
Well, If there ever was a character were you can say I loved to hate him and hated to love him, it would be Deacon ass-hole King
Deacon King is ruthless, a rich alpha dominant male with a dirty mouth, he’s a love em and chuck em kind of guy with a kinky side, he’s a game player who only has a close circle of trusted friends and to those outside that circle they only see what he wants them to see.
Deacon King also has a devious side and not only does he set out to ensure Mia falls in love with him but also has every intention of ruining her and for what? Mia was merely a pawn in his game, one he intended on winning in his devious game of revenge against someone Mia cared for.
What wasn’t supposed to happen is Deacon King falling in love too.
Torment is yet another hot page-turner by this brilliant duo of authors, it will have you all kinds of angry and frustrated with the characters while your fanning yourself at the hotness all at the same time.
Great start to a new series, I wanted more backstory on Deacon’s group of friends who met in university, and who now treat each other as family and support each other, there wasn’t enough of that but hopefully there will be in the next book in the series, just to get a better idea and understanding of the characters and the dynamics in their relationships. I first learned of Deacon at the end of Scott’s book, his brother in the hot daddy’s series but each book can be read as a standalone and this is a new interesting hot series that has me wanting to know more about B.A.D inc.
Told in dual pov, leads to hea and yes, the ass-hole does redeem himself 😉 Enjoy
An amazing start to a new series B.A.D. Inc. by an incredible duo – Angel Devlin & Tracy Lorraine! I am completely addicted already. I can’t wait for RIDE – as I am obsessed with this series! Amazing writing with incredible characters. Dark and thrilling, steamy and full of suspense. OMG – this storyline blew me away!!!

Bad(dest) Boy meets good Girl? Yes!
Deacon is one hell of a bad boy and I often times had to roll my eyes because as a reader it was obvious what his game plan was but you still fall in love with him. Same as Mia, our heroine. She tries so hard to stay away from him but backmail gets the ball rolling.
The story was amazing and I loved every bit about it. From there first meeting, to his hidden agenda which is reveals very early on in the book but still didn‘t lessen my enjoyment of reading it.
Mia is your typical rich, spoiled girl who wants to do something with her live other than spend money! Freshly single, she and her friend Karla, whom I absolutely not like, star in a reality tv show where she meets our resident bad boy Deacon for an interview and gets sucked into his web of lies.
The writing from both of the authors was really good. You never knew who was writing what part and that‘s something I really like in a book written by multiple authors.
The sneak peek of the next book intrigued me and I can‘t wait to get back to B.A.D. INC
Whoa! I don’t even know what to say. I was hooked from the beginning of this. I was intrigued about Deacon from Hot Daddy Package and reading his story, all I kept thinking was, “ruthless”. He didn’t care who he hurt in the process of getting what he wanted. I love that he had a run for his money with Mia but their journey is filled with bullying, hurt, revenge, lies, guilt, and passion. The story flowed so well, I didn’t notice I was almost done until I got to the last chapter. I’m only slightly disappointed there’s no epilogue but I know we will see more of them in the next book and that one already feels like it’s going to be a another wild ride.
