I thought this book was going to be just a sexy read
but I soon found it was a bit of an emotional read.
Deacon seems to be a bit of a jerk and Mia seems
to be weak but it’s amazing how people are not what you
think they are.
This book has a great plot with heaps of steamy a depth
and great chemistry between the characters.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book via Booksprout.
I absolutely loved this story. From the very first chapter I was hooked and I flew through reading this book, being unable to put it down.
Deacon King. You really need to meet this guy. He’s sexy, successful and has a reputation that would have mothers everywhere warning their daughters to stay away from him. When he wants something, he gets it and nothing will stand in his way. His reputation is well known but that doesn’t stop the women falling at his feet or down on their knees…… and I totally get why!
Mia has had everything she could possibly want and need growing up, but now she wants to make a name for herself and I loved that she wanted to succeed in life through her own hard work and not because of the privileges she was born with. She’s young, naïve and there were so many times I wanted to scream at her to wake up and smell the coffee. However, the transformation of Mia as the story progresses had me in her corner and if I could have given her a high five at times, I would have!
What a ride this story has been. The chemistry between Deacon and Mia is undeniable. The twists and turns in the story will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. Both main characters absolutely intrigued me, and I loved how their story transpired.
What an amazing start to this series. Torment gets a 5-star rating and a huge recommendation from me for you to read this book. The supporting characters in Deacon and Mia’s story added to the story perfectly and are people that I definitely need to know more about. I absolutely cannot wait to see what the authors give us in the next book in their series.
This is the first book that I’ve read by these author and oh my, what a book. I though it was written great. Reading this book holds your attention and keeps you wanting more. I’m so glad to have discovered more new authors that know how to make the world and characters feel so real that you feel everything.
Torment ( B.A.D. Inc. #1)
Deacon is the badist guy with capital B.A.D. He is very hot, sexy steamy sort of guy and he is totally rich with a big ego to go along with it. He’s one of those men that always get there own way and knows how to get what he wants. He just wants revenge this is all he cares about and he doesn’t care who he hurts along the way to get his revenge its all he wants and he knows just how to get it.
Mia is rich and spoilt girl but she also has dreams too.
Mia with such a beautiful name and is the opposite of Deacon but when he has her in his eye line there is no going back. What Mia actually didn’t realize was that he was the cause of some of her problems and he just wants to make her pay.
Can he be forgiven?
( NO SPOILERS )
These two characters have such a connection that that the pull between them both was very intense. They both had a lot, a lot of chemistry between them both and this book gets very steamy. I really felt for Mia at times but underneath these two do have a heart. Seeing the journey that these two take is so intense that you cant take your eyes of it.
At first I didn’t like Deaon and his total bad ass image and he’s just so full of hate but also I didn’t think I was going to like Mia and he spoilt ass image. But when you look deeper into this story some things are not as they seem. These authors have written a fabulous book and its a real stand out must read.
This book is full of drama, lies, torment, love and hate and will have your emotions all over the place. This book is a real dark romance that will captivate your mind and hold it hostage until you finish this book. You will be hooked.
Thank you to the author and the publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.

Torment by Tracy Lorraine & Angel Devlin is the first book in the (B A.D. Inc) series. It looks at the characters Deacon and Mia. Mia is a Park Lane princess, a young woman who has a lot of money but wants to establish herself away from her late father’s money, to do that she has to take part in a reality show and get through an interview with Deacon King, part owner of B.A.D Inc. and the person who is left in charge of interviewing Mia. Deacon is a certifiable fraud, in the fact that he plays on people’s emotions whilst wearing a mask. Straight away he is intrigued by Mia, but when he finds out that she is connected to someone from his past who he hates, Mia is fair games and he is going to go to any lengths to make sure that Mia is in the crossfire!
This read was a certifiable page-turner. Not only do we have a great character in Mia who although has a good life, is trying to be independent. We have this arrogant and often cruel character of Deacon. There is a lot of interplay between the two where Deacon ropes Mia into playing his game. Mia being the nice girl that she is plays but is also intrigued and finds something about Deacon very hot. Deacon is the ultimate bad boy and even though you understand why he does the things he does, there was a tiny bit of me that still didn’t feel that his treatment of Mia was justified. He literally ruined her! Secondary characters such as the other people in B.A.D. Inc. we’re intriguing and the woman that Mia lived with and was her supposed ‘best friend’ you just wanted to give a quick slap too as she was really selfish and immature.
This book had lots of twist and turns and we see through both characters eyes in the duel POV’s. There were some really steamy scenes with Deacon and Mia, but also some really charming scenes where it seemed as though both of the characters let their hair down with each other and were just open and honest.
Does deacon redeem himself? Well, you’re just going to have to read the book and enjoy the ride!

Amazing! Tracy and Angel have done it again. This is a darker romance than previous books they’ve written together, and if I’m honest, darker than I normally read. There’s no doubt that Deacon is a hot sexy alpha, but my God does he totally love his blackmail! The pull was instant with him and Mia and it was that which kept me reading on. Mia wasn’t the usual ‘Princess’ he was expecting, she had a depth that kept pulling him back, but in a plot twist that was sheer genius, Deacon sets his sights on bringing Mia to her knees.
The further he entangled himself with her the more he truly fell for her, yet he couldn’t let go of his plan, refusing to even acknowledge his true feelings. A complete alpha asshole, I read faster and faster just to get to the point where he could redeem himself, the point he realised he loved her, and boy when that moment came, alpha ass hole turned super sexy!
I can’t wait to read more in this series, as Deacons friends were all super hot and looked really interesting.
Princess and jerk.
Mia is a Park Lane Princess.
Deacon King is the king of the jerkwads.
It was hard to empathize with either one of the leads, but it’s steamy.
I can’t remember the last time I internally kept telling a character to walk away, run even, with such frequency. Her willpower is practically non-existent. Deacon is all sorts of bad news but Mia can’t seem to help herself. Waiting for the other shoe to drop is pure torture. Holy cow! When it does, it’s like a tornado, hurricane, and tsunami all hit at the same time. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
4 Star Review of Torment (B.A.D. Inc #1) by Angel Devlin & Tracy Lorraine
Having read a few books by this writing duo, I was excited to learn about B.A.D. Inc and jumped at the chance to read and review Torment, book one in their new series
Deacon King is so smoking hot and so alpha it almost hurts. There were times that I loved him and times when I hated him, in fact I wasn’t sure which side would win out but ultimately I fell for him hook, line and sinker. Mia, initially comes off as a spoiled rich girl, but underneath it all lies a compassionate and caring women who quickly grew on me.
This was a story that I quickly became invested in. Torment was a story with sizzling passion, drama and suspense that drew me in and refused to let me go. There was just enough drama and heat to without going over the top which added to my overall enjoyment of the story and I look forward to reading more in the series.
This is the 1st book in the stand alone series. Deacan is a jerk and has secrets. Mia is a determined young woman. This story has mystery suspense and drama.

Mia and Deacon are two opposites who are thrown together. Mia for a reality show and Deacon who has a magazine company. Both have ambitions for their futures but drama creeps in and Mia is totally innocent of what Deacon is plotting. There is a lot of WOW factor in this story; so much I read it straight through. The twists and angst are enormous leading to a very good book. A must read.

Not gonna lie I usually don’t go for ‘stepbrother and stepsister’ tropes. However, this one pleasantly surprised me. Tracy Lorraine, and Angel Devlin are fantastic together. They delivered an amazing read that was hot, heavy, and deliciously edgy. Loved Deacon’s broody, alpha-male persona. Loved Mia, even though she was hard to get into at first (a little on the naïve side). She and Deacon got hot and heavy pretty fast and the chemistry between them made me blush. If you like forbidden, slightly erotic reads—
this one’s for you.

I loved this storyline. Deacon starts of as a jerk but levels of by the second chapter. Mia is a new to the work force being raised with a silver spoon but wanting more from life. The characters are well developed and engaging and the chemistry is strong.

I loved to hate Deacon King!
He is one mean, ruthless, alpha arsehole who sets his sights on Mia to seek the ultimate revenge. Mia is the unsuspecting princess with everything to loose by letting King in.
Deacon owns the B.A.D. Inc. company that will put Mia Hamilton on the front page. Mia hopes to make her own way in the cosmetics industry with this new reality show and magazine spread. What she doesn’t realize is she is all part of a master plan to destroy the only family she has ever known. When Deacon sinks his teeth into Mia’s heart he soon finds out that he isn’t immune to pain.
Great start to a new series. The author once again brings strong characters and an interesting story line. I was glued to the pages with all the twists and turns as well as the hot and steamy romance. She does a fantastic job bringing the story to life with her vividly painted scenes along with the cast of supporting characters who help to bring the story around. Told in the dual POV shows both Mia and Deacon’s thoughts and emotions which I enjoy. It’s well written, moves at a steady pace and I loved reading their story. Love the cover!! Highly recommend.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Torment is a dark novel from Tracy Lorraine. In the beginning we have the start of a live uncut live show showcasing 2 of the leading “ladies” and later 3 young “ladies”. Deacon is immediately drawn to ****. She tics all of his boxes for a very brief interlude. As her best friend and costar sets out to have Deacon in her bed; he keeps finding ways to block her advances only if **** will agree to have him.
As the relationship grows, both are drawn even further into this “relationship”. But then the unthinkable happens, ****’s loving stepfather turns out to be the ultimate manipulative father of Deacon. From this point onwards, Deacon has only one goal – to expose all of his father’s dark secrets, wrecking his father and his relationship with both **** and her mother. He becomes single minded as to destroying all in his way.
4.5 stars are well deserved.

I could not put it down
This is B.A.D. Inc # 1 and focuses on Deacon King, who we met in Hot Daddy Package (Scott and Suki), and Mia his interviewee for his latest article and his latest conquest if he has anything to say about it. As in his first appearance, at first I found it difficult to like anything about Deacon but as the story progressed he grew on me. In the end, I have no choice but to give this story 5 stars as I could not put it down and I did get my HEA. I cannot wait for B.A.D. #2.

TORMENT by Tracy Lorraine is the First book in the B.A.D. Inc. Series. This is the story of Deacon King and Mia Hamilton. Mia is known as a social light and part of the spoiled rich world…a princess. But really Mia is more than that and is wanting to make a name for herself by herself. Mia is a sweet young innocent women who is just trying to be more than what people think. Deacon is one of the founders of B.A.D who is totally different from Mia. But when he sees her and learns who she is, he finds that he needs to use her for his revenge goals. Of course Mia is swept into this which of course causes her to break but then we see herself start to build herself back up strong and better than ever. Deacon starts to find that he may have misjudge his feels and what he has lost.
If you like me like a alpha who is very hard to like then this book is for you too. Loved this.
I’ve read a lot of books written by Tracy Lorraine; she has done a great job at writing another good book; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

This book has so many facets that it at times was hard to keep up but I did. Deacon is a hot as sin alpha male who has it all and loves to flaunt it whereas Mia comes from a wealthy family and is trying to make it on her own when he discovers who her family is and he goes in for the kill. They have great chemistry and at times I hated him but he is too damn hot not to love him and Mia had a hard time dealing with him but even she came out on top (sorta).

Tracy Lorraine is a favorite author of mine. She and Angel Devlin are making a great team. They did not disappointed with this book! It takes longer for the hero, Deacon, to redeem himself. It was more than seventy-five percent of the book. But when it happens. My heart broke. It just plummeted and sat there and ached. Don’t give up on him. The heroine, Mia, was a delight. She surprised me. I don’t want to give away too much so that you get to know them as you read, so I’m stopping there. I do believe this book is my new favorite of theirs so far. My prior favorite made a cameo. (He’s still my favorite for that series.)I was just smiling, loving when authors bring in past characters. But this is most definitely a great standalone read. So many new characters. Can’t wait for the next book!
