This final installment of the Playboy series was brilliant.

Book Description

I’m not always the hero. Sometimes I’m merciless.

My whole life I’ve been the good guy--loyal friend, helpful son, dedicated firefighter--but in the bedroom I’m someone else. That’s where my inner villain likes to come out and play.

With a kink as taboo as mine, it’s too risky to play with anyone who doesn’t crave it like I do, so I’ve gotten used to depriving that side of me.

Then I see her. She’s the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen and my darker half recognizes itself in her mysterious brown eyes. She’s everything I could ever want and thought I would never find.

Our arrangement may seem twisted to everyone else, but the sex is explosive--and soon my soul demands to own every part of her. We come from different worlds that want to tear us apart at every turn, but I’ll be damned if I let them.

I will fight for our future, and I will be...merciless.

My Thoughts

This was the final installment of the Playboy series. Though each book reads very nicely as a standalone, they were even better read as a complete series, as you got to know the characters in depth.

In this book we get to spend time with Austin as with his friends before him he has a darker side a kink if you will in the bedroom. When he sees Emi he is determined to have her even if just for a while but sometimes letting go is harder than you think.

Emi wants to enjoy her last little time of freedom before entering an arranged marriage. She wants to be with someone like Austin, who understands her darker side and is willing to embrace it. However, when things with Austin start to get too intense, will she defy her father to keep the man she loves??

I love a good dark romance with a kink. I can't say force play is at the top of my list, but the author did a really great job portraying this kink. I love Austin. He is the good guy with a dark side that makes him that much hotter, as you know he won't hurt you. Overall, this book was really good. I loved getting to know the characters, and I felt the author did a great job weaving their stories together and making me root for them.

It was the perfect way to end this series and I am excited to read more books by this author.
