Very Dark Read… not what I expected but, it was OK

I’ll admit. I went into this book expecting a dark romance. I guess I was just expecting to actually receive more ‘romance’ than ‘darkness’.

Alexius is the oldest of four sexually-deviant brothers of a powerful crime family. These brothers are close knit and apparently share everything… including women. In order for Alexius to ascend to the head of the family after his father dies, he must marry.

Enter: Leandra, a poor waitress from the rough side of life. He makes her an offer of money and prestige to be his wife for six months then walk away financially set for life. She accepts and is swept up into loveless, steamy encounters with her new husband. She soon finds herself having carnal urges where her husband AND his brothers are concerned. Feelings that have her conflicted.

This book would appeal to those who enjoy reverse harem, voyeurism, and graphic sexual scenes. The underlying plot was interesting enough to compel me to read Book Two, due to the cliffhanger. It will be interesting to see how their relationship develops.

Happy reading!
