Blanka
Throughout my entire life I’ve made choice after choice to land me where I am today. Nothing is perfect, and the same views can be said about life.
We all struggle and wish things could be different but it simply isn’t the case. If you want anything, whether it be as simple as happiness, you must work for it.
At the end of the day, that’s what landed me in this job, doing the things I … job, doing the things I do, one day hopeful it will bring me a better life.
I can only hope that day comes soon.
Davide
I’m the type of man who adores women. Any chance I get, I choose to revel in their flesh against mine. Although, I’m not the type of man to ever settle down – even if the Clan demands it of me.
Never have I envisioned life with a woman by my side and a baby on her hip. It’s simply never been in the cards. I prefer to go to the brothels around Europe, enjoying the company of the most exquisite, prestigious women. They may not be from prominent families, but these aren’t whores you find on the street. They’re smart, witty and gorgeous.
I’d been seeing another woman at this Venice brothel, however, she went and got pregnant . . . so I’m about to meet a new woman. One of the Madame’s favorite girls, one who she tells me will change my life.
I suppose we’ll see if she does.

If you’re considering reading this book, take the time to read the teaser and trigger warnings. This book is dark and gritty so be warned by the publishers trigger warning and by those of us reminding you to take them to heart if this is something you don’t want to become a part of. That being said, “Venomous” is book 11 in “The Clan” series and what an intense, suspenseful, and intriguing story Elizabeth Knox and Iris Sweetwater have given us. If you remember, Galina has caused problems for The Clan in previous books and she makes her appearance in this one as well, along with more of her mischief. Will they catch her this time? You’ll have to read to find out for yourself how that one plays out. And we also get to read Davide and Blanka’s story. Each has met their match in the other with so much chemistry it brought heat to my Kindle and to my person. You definitely don’t want to miss their tale. Congratulations ladies on another five-star review.
Davide doesn’t need to settle down despite what the Clans suggest. He enjoys brothels of Europe too much. Variety.
Belladonna aka Blanka is a sassy, hard working woman that does what she has to in order to survive.
When Davide meets Blanka there is an explosive chemistry even though they both fight hard to deny it.
Venomous is a dark and intense story that will have your kindle sizzling. Unexpected turn of events you didn’t see coming.
How do you find love in a world filled with sex and danger,you service every man in and out of your life and do what ever he wants to keep him happy.
Blanka is working hard to change her life and get out of this world she is in,leaving it behind her and starting a new life one she want’s
David is a powerful man and not looking to get tied down,and he is used to getting what he want’s.Nothing serious and over when he wants it to be,so how can one woman get under his skin.
In a world of danger the last thing you ever think will happen is to fall in love.

After every story I become a bigger fan of yours. You always amaze me, people should always be reading your stories.
Blanka and Davide pull you into this dark, twisted, emotional read that will have you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what’s gonna happen next. Amazing read that had me wanting more and more. Cany wait to read the next in this series.
Venomous by Elizabeth Knox and Iris Sweetwater is book 11 of The Clan series but can be read as a standalone. I have missed up the series and I am still in love with every book I have read, even if its out of order. Venomous is about Davide and his ladies, he is not the settle down type and even if it is expected of him he still refuses. That was until he met the one “working girl” that may be the one that he just cannot tame or let get away. Blanka is straight up sass and attitude and I was so entertained by her character. Both authors did and extraordinary job with the plot, it was full of suspense, drama and heat. I need to catch up on the full series as all thh books so far that I have read have left me wanting more.
Venomous by Elizabeth Knox and Iris Sweetwater is book 11 in The Clans Series. This is the story of Davide and Blanka. I did feel this could be a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Davide is the head of the Romanian Mafia in Italy. Davide is not one to settle down to one women so he choices to use the Brothels. Davide ends up hiring Blanka for a moth to be with him and to travel. Blanka hasn’t had a easy life which means for her to have survived, she had to sell what she has…herself to get by. Now she is known as Belladonna at Miss Cecilia’s bordello and is one of the Top selling women there. Neither wanted to feel anything more than their contracted service but they started to find that they can’t help but feel more for each other. There is danger that is following them which adds to the story. Enjoyed this book.
This is book 11 of The Clans Series. This story got me hook right at the start and I had to finish the story. The plot was intriguing, dark, suspenseful, drama and plenty of steam. Davide visits brothels all over Europe and he’s convinced that he will never settle down with just one women. Then he sees Blanka at a brothel in Venice and he knows that he has to have her. The characters are wonderful as they try to pretend they don’t care about each other but if they are honest with each other that they have a very strong passionate love.

Blanca (Belladonna) works in a brothel and is ready for a change so when a new client Davide requests a week with her she jumps at the chance. But the more time they spend together they each realize what their life is missing. Venomous is the eleventh book in The Clan series and is a good addition to the series. This story is filled with drama, suspense, angst and twists that kept me reading.
Realizing what you have been missing but maybe you can’t have it in the end
Venomous is the eleventh book in The Clans series by Iris Sweetwater and Elizabeth Knox and boy is it a dark and dangerous story but also very entertaining and kept me engaged from the first to the last page. Davide and Blanka are an interesting couple in more ways than one. Blanka is beautiful but deeply scarred by her life. She works in a brothel selling the only thing she has……herself. Davide is the head of the Romanian Mafia in Italy and contracts to have Blanka with him as he travels. They are both intense characters and together they are off the charts hot and sizzling. As they spend more time together they start to have feelings but there are obstacles and many surprises along the way.
This is a really well written book with a story-line that grabs you and characters that have a lot of depth and pain. Be warned that there are a number of triggers in Venomous or you will be stung.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Awesome !! I loved Davide and Blanka’s story. It was a very dark and intriguing storyline. I couldn’t stop reading it until I was finished with the entire book. I was totally riveted to every word. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing dark read.
Every time I come into this world I get another treat. We will get one that is delicious and full of heat but that makes for a tastier treat. Thanks to Davide’s apatite and where and how he indulges it he will meet more than he thought when he encounters Blanka. Their story will give you the depths you crave plus suspense. This one will totally entwine around you as it unravels. Drama will ramp it up and pull us to the edge. Love how they undo me and put me back again.
I think this book is phenomenal! These two authors give you a story you just can’t stop reading. I was captivated from the start. This is about Davide and Belladonna/Blanka. Belladonna is a working girl. Davide is head of one of the clans and is use to having people jump when he speaks. No one defies him. Well, that is until he is with Belladonna. She gives him lots of sass. These two are explosive together. There is always danger around Davide.Can he keep her safevwhile she is with him? Will they be able to out smart those that are out to get them? Can they open their hearts to let love grow? Is it possible for their story to have a HEA? Get the book to find out the answers. You will be glad you do! I will say this is my favorite out of the clans books. I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy from the author.
I absolutely loved this book.
Venomous is the 11th book in The Clans series.
The story was well written and had loads of
action and suspense.
Davide and Belladonna had very sexy and steamy chemistry.
Davide Lupei is Romanian and a head Clan member in charge of MMA business.
Belladonna is the name she uses as a call girl in Italy. Blanka Hruska is her real name is Czech.
This book kinda ties some loose ends up and creates new ones.
I would recommend this book to others but you would need to read them in order.

Wow!!
Loved it.. OMG this book was freaking HOT!!! This book was twisted and dark but I was hooked from the first page and I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to see what happens next in the Clans series.
I really loved Venomous. It was so enthralling that I couldn’t put it down. I have to admit I really love all of Elizabeth Knox’s books but this one turned out to be outstanding. Davide and Blanka are characters that had a lot of depth to them. They were definitely spontaneous and not lacking in any way spontaneity as Davide loves being. I would night recommend this book. Small warning the epilogue features a cliff hangar into which leads to the next book as it is a series. The individual books can be read alone but I personally like to read the previous books from a series. Enjoy!

This book had me hooked from the start. Davide and Blanka’s story is intriguing, dark, gritty and full of suspense,drama and plenty of sensual moments . Davide clan member loves women frequents brothels all over Europe as he is a player and is convinced he will never settle down with one woman. When he sees Blanka, who is the best at what she does in order to survive in a brothel in Venice he knows he must have her so he purchases her for a month. But he will soon learn that he has met his match with fiery sensual Blanka. Now these two will play a hedonistic game that will end up with both of them stunned regarding the feelings they bring out in each other. Davide has planned to help Blanka when her time with his is over, he wants to give her the life she yearns for, but someone is going to use them to keep them apart
This is book 11 in The Clans series. You could probably read this book on its own but you’ll have a better idea of the other characters and the plot arc if you follow the series from the start. If you read Heretic, the previous book on this series, you’ll remember the sisters Ivana and Galina wreaked havoc, and the epilogue shows Galina getting in touch with a childhood friend called Blanka. This book is about Blanka, a sex worker, and her client Davide, a head Clan member. What starts as an illicit love story turns into a deadly, dangerous, action-fuelled climax. I love this series! I love the plot arc, the characters, the love stories (which are generally quite unconventional), and the inevitable action.
I received a copy of this book. My honest opinion is voluntarily provided.
Wow!!! This is my favorite of The Clans. Davide is one huge alpha a******. He never wanted to settle down. He enjoys his freedom and all the women he can have. Everything changes the moment he meets Belladonna/Blanka. Belladonna may be a working girl, but she has plans and dreams of getting out of the business. When things change, Davide wants to make sure Belladonna is free, even if it means without him. Some things start to change, and Davide wants to make sure Belladonna is safe and protected and puts things in motion to make sure she is. This is a dark and delicious read that is packed with action, hot and steamy scenes and twists and turns that will make you gasp. I was hooked from the very beginning to the end. I absolutely loved this and the ride these two authors took me on.
This intriguing read had me totally glued to my kindle from the very beginning with a plot that was well written and well planned and characters that were so well developed that Blanka and Davide kept me turning the pages until the very last page!
