Diana Hicks started this duet with a bang that continued to reverberate thru the entire storyline. That bang being a sensual sexy combustible chemistry between our leads. In other words, lust; pure unadulterated lust and that alone kept me glued page after page. We haven’t yet made it to the romance but holy bananas, you know it’s coming and when it does, something tells me it is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

So far, this duet is the perfect blend of mafia darkness and drama with a sexual drive you’d expect from a story this. I’m enjoying the story thus far and can’t wait to see how Diana brings it full circle.2021-blog-tour-read hicks-diana-a library-kindle-doc ...more8 s Kelly_Reads_Books1,978 149

This is the first book I have read by Diana A. Hicks and it definitely won't be my last. Her writing is smooth, clear, and filled with innuendo and misunderstanding.
Rex is an Alpha male who takes what he wants without apology. And he has always wanted Caterina. And have her he will, on his terms and timeline.
Incredible story complete with drama, manipulation, and Kinbaku!loved-it8 s Cécile Smits 1,203 207

Finding King of Beasts for only €0,99 on Apple Books was a treat i couldn’t resist.

Now,if you’ll excuse me,i’m going to get some answers in the second part….action-packed age-gap anti-heroes-we-love ...more7 s Veronica Ticker901 56

Though there are a few weak elements in this book, I must admit I was engrossed in Cat and Rex’s story.

The BDSM element could be disturbing to some, but I found those scenes well written and beautiful, as well as incredibly sexy and arousing. They also offered another side of the characters.

Because outside of those scenes, it’s basically your regular enemies to lovers story, with an old grudge, anger mixed with desire, tense conversations and miscommunication. It was difficult to see the love here, although there are some acts of tenderness. But lust was there, oh yeah.

I had trouble understanding the characters’ motives regarding the whole mafia war. Some of their actions and decisions contradicted others, they were all a bunch of undecided kids, when they’re supposed to be mafia bosses.

I’ll still keep an eye out for book 2, because I really want this couple to come to terms with their feelings for each other, and I’m curious about how they’ll make it work.

King of Beast. I read this story. I d the mystery and the little suspense from Rex, that the writer gave her readers. I was intrigued by the build up of the outline to the story that the outline provided. Caterina and Rex obviously had a love hate relationship. The drama and the action was a little tame. I would to read some of the action scenes from Caterina as she caused chaos in the club. Rex, I think could of read more of him being seductive with Caterina. The story was timid and the steam level was hot. tbr4 s Gladys12.2k 140

I enjoyed this book and I am eagerly awaiting book two. I did have some pesky annoyances with a couple things in this book but nothing major. There is a raw intensity to Rex and Caterina's tale. The tension, drama, emotion, heat, twists and suspense are thickly layered throughout the storyline and have you more than happy to be engulfed by the darkness that lurks there. This is my frank, freely posted review. 3 s Ri5,090 7

This was a well crafted story. I d the push and pull of the characters, especially Red. The steamy, if you could call them steam since there was no sex, were erotic and well done. They were tantalizing.

My issue with the story was more about the Society. It didn't enhance the story in my opinion. To me, the story was about the bond that these characters were developing. That's what I was wanting more of.

Still, a good book.3 s Mari (Mystics & Metaphysics Book Blog)7,756 169

This was one hot and sexy story filled with some drama and darkness that balanced it out nicely. Rex and Cat have amazing chemistry and even though they may not have started out on good terms, you can't deny their connection. I could not put this down and now can't wait for the next.elle-woods2 s Coco.V50k 19 Want to read
