Synopsis

Ruthless Creatures: Five years ago, my fiancé disappeared. He left me with a wedding dress I’d never wear. Left me with the kind of scars that can’t be healed. The man I built my future on vanished like a ghost. All that remained were my broken heart and a million unanswered questions. 

Until a mysterious stranger arrives in town. 

Tall, dark, and dangerous, Kage is as full of secrets as he is sex appeal. Though I know he’s hiding something, I’m drawn to him like a moth to flame. 

Heat crackles between us with every look, desire flares into passion, and I fall hard, helpless to resist. 

But then I discover he’s been sent to collect on an unpaid debt from my missing fiancé… 

And that debt is me.

Carnal Urges: The devil has blue eyes, an Irish accent, and a hatred for me that runs deep. 

He blames me for starting a war. Consorting with his enemies. Getting his men killed. Though I’m innocent on all charges, he wants his pound of flesh. With an eye on revenge, he makes me his captive. 

But as we’ll both soon discover, there are more powerful urges than that for revenge. 

When the devil meets his match but she’s his sworn enemy, that’s when the real war begins. 

Savage Hearts: He’s a myth. A ghost. A legend.

A Bratva assassin so feared, some won’t even dare to speak his name.

He comes in search of vengeance for the death of his brother, but what he finds instead is me.

A girl he thinks is someone else.
Someone unrelated to the man who killed his brother.
Except I am.

And when he finds out my true identity, he decides to take me as repayment for what he lost.

Now, I’m a little bird trapped in a cage, and the only way to survive is to make friends with the monster who captured me.

But friendship isn’t what the monster has in mind.

Brutal Vows: 

Reyna

If this arrogant Irish mobster my brother sold my niece to thinks I’m going to play nice over this arranged marriage BS, he should think again.
I don’t care if this match with the Mob will make my brother capo of the Five Families.
I don’t care how much money, territory, or power it will gain us.
I especially don’t care that the Irishman is the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.
I won’t allow my innocent niece to suffer the same way I did.
Even if I have to kill him.

Spider

I’m supposed to marry sweet, beautiful Lili. So why can’t I stop thinking about her swamp witch of an aunt?
Reyna who hates me. Reyna who challenges me. Reyna with the guts of a Viking, the body of a fertility goddess, and the attitude of a feral cat.
Nothing good can come of what I’m feeling for a woman who’s not the one in the wedding contract I signed.
A woman I want so much, I’ll have to burn the whole world down to get.
If she doesn’t kill me first.

Review: 

All are free on Kindle Unlimited.

This Queens and Monsters series is excellent. I'm not sure why Amazon lists this as only having 3 books in the series when Brutal Vows is definitely part of it however all the other books were published in 2021 and Brutal Vows in 2022 so maybe there is a disconnect somewhere.  

While there were some issues with the Irish sounding more like Scots it was still enjoyable and well done.  I loved that the women were all very strong willed and not push-overs despite their situation.  I was particularly thrilled with the female lead in the last book in the series Brutal Vows.  Its tough to be a mafia boss when your wife is making you promise not to kill people who are supposed to be your enemies.  All the men think they are bright enough to get around it but none of it seems to sleep by these very strong women.  I have so many other books that I should have been reading but I kept downloading the next and the next etc...really hot enjoyable series.
