Carnal Urges (Queens and Monsters, 2 of 4) by J.T. Geissenger

Why we love this

• ✦ The Funniest Dark Romance You'll Read: J.T. Geissinger is the queen of banter, and Sloane is arguably her best heroine. She doesn't cower before the scary mafia don; she eats a cheeseburger in his face and critiques his decor. The dialogue is laugh-out-loud funny amidst the tension.
• ✦ Declan "The Devil" O'Donnell: If you have a weakness for Irish accents and alpha males who are completely baffled by the woman they just kidnapped, Declan is the ultimate book boyfriend. Watching the stoic, ruthless killer slowly realize he is obsessed with his "captive" is pure gold.
• ✦ The Kidnapping Trope, But Better: Usually, the "revenge kidnapping" trope is heavy and angsty. Here, it’s a battle of wills. Sloane refuses to be a victim, turning the power dynamic on its head until Declan doesn't know who is actually the prisoner.
• ✦ Scorching Chemistry: The title doesn't lie. Once the bickering turns into passion, the heat level is off the charts. It’s primal, possessive, and incredibly spicy.
• ✦ Gorgeous Special Edition: This Deluxe Edition is a showstopper for your shelves, featuring emerald green sprayed edges and a never-before-seen bonus chapter that fans of the series need to read.
