⭐⭐⭐⭐
I loved the first book, but was sorely disappointed with the way the second book turned out in regards to the 🌶️ scenes went.
I was honest in my thoughts and I'm going to be honest with this book.
I started the book with a sense that it would continue in the same vein as book 2 but, I will say that although the BDSM was still there. It was written in a way that - and I'm still not convinced someone who's been abused for 10 years would accept this, but they were not as bad as the others, so I didn't let them sway my view. But that book needed Better trigger warnings.
Now onto what I did like... (As spoiler free as possible)
That we were back into the action, suspense and investigation of finding Sarah.
I loved that it was Ariana that was responsible for saving herself in a situation.
BUT WAS suitably traumatized by it even though it was self defense.

"I thought I knew what evil looked like.
I was wrong.
For years, I believed Victor Kane was the monster at the center of everything..." Well there's someone close who's been keeping secrets... Oops... No spoilers 😉
As the investigation deepend, I was literally ignoring everything else other than reading the next page.
And that was how it continued up to the ending.
I will say that there is a lot to trigger readers, so it's not a series I'd recommended jumping blindly into just because you have read some dark romance before. Check out the triggers.
But overall... This story really was an emotional, thrilling action packed read that I'm glad I stuck with to find out if Ariana and Henry get their happy ever after...
At The end of this book, you get a sneak peek into Blake's book... So maybe Henry and Ariana will Pop up in that.
I'm assuming it will be another dark Read, but I was already intrigued by his past in this book to know that I want to read it when it's out.

Jenni's rating: 4 of 5 stars
**I voluntarily reviewed this book for Katsindiebookblog, and I gained no monetary incentives nor was I specifically requested to review the book.** I love me a good mafia book, and this one did not disappoint. I'm highly looking forward to the next one that comes out. You get left with a huge twist at the end of this book.
Mateo is set to wed Carina, a contract that was put in place years ago, something to bond the families together. Even though they haven't married, Mateo is still going to protect what is meant to be his, so when Carina suffers with some injuries, he does what he can to help her. There is some instant chemistry in play, but it's more of a love hate relationship.
This book was written well, a few surprises, especially at the end. If you love some hot, sexy mafia men, I would most definitely recommend this book!

REVIEW: VIOLENT THINGS BY CALLIE HART @_CALLIE_HART
Zeth’s back and it’s looking like another wild ride
Having taken a while to get to finally reading this book, I’m glad I finally got to it.
FREE ON KU
BLURB
*** Zeth and Sloane are back alongside a cast of new characters in the new Chaos & Ruin series ***
You’re never really out until you’re dead. That’s what the mob bosses, gun runners and car thieves of Seattle will tell you, anyway.
Zeth Mayfair, ex-mafia enforcer, has other ideas. Since falling for Sloane, he’s managed to turn her life upside down. Now, he’s determined to give her a stable, happy and, most importantly, safe life. If that means he has to sleep with one eye open and one hand on a shotgun, then that’s what he’ll do.
Mason Reeves is just looking for a way to take care of his sick sister. Since their mother left, things have been hard, and they’re only getting harder. Prescription meds don’t come cheap, and working as an auto mechanic only pays so well. If he wants to give Millie the life she deserves, he’s going to have to earn it with his fists. And who better to teach him how to fight than the guy who took down the biggest gangster in Seattle?
You can try to get out…
You can try to be good…
You can steer clear of trouble…
But it’s only a matter of time before trouble comes looking for you.
Violent Things is Book 1 in this, the sister series to Blood & Roses.
You can read this book if you haven’t already read the Blood & Roses series! Upon delivery of the book, you will find an in-depth synopsis of the previous series, should you wish to jump straight into Violent Things but are yet to meet Zeth Mayfair & Sloane Romera.
Of course, Violent Things will be more enjoyable if you start their journey from the very beginning. If you choose to do so, the reading order for the Blood & Roses series is as follows:
Deviant
Fracture
Burn
Fallen
Twisted
Collateral.
Fracture
Burn
Fallen
Twisted
Collateral.
But There’s a BOX SET!!!

Zeths back and it’s looking like another wild ride
Having taken a while to get to finally reading this book, I’m glad I finally got to it.
Callie Hart is one of my favourite contemporary authors. For a book to take you out of your comfort zone. Check out her Blood and Roses series then head into this one.
So I have had this book on my Kindle for a while, buying it when it was on sale. I felt like a change of genre and Zeth has been one of my favourite bad book boyfriends. You can never call Zeth good, but boy you would want him to protect you! Sloane is one lucky doctor, what can I say, is he addictive.

I have read the complete Blood & Roses series is as follows: Deviant, Fracture, Burn, Fallen, Twisted and Collateral.
Zeth Mayfair, is an ex mafia enforcer, who until he met Sloane was heading for an early grave… he may still get there but till that time, he’s determined to give Sloane the best life he can give, He’s running his Gym, and trying to stay out of trouble.
Young Mason Reeves comes under Zeth’s radar when he catches him breaking into the gym after closing to train.
Young Mason Reeves comes under Zeth’s radar when he catches him breaking into the gym after closing to train.
Mason is not a thief, just a kid trying to find a way to earn more money legitimately as possible for his sick sister, the medication doesn’t come cheap, and his day job as an auto mechanic only pays so well.
When Zeth catches him and challenges him to fight, and Mason gives all he can, Zeth gives him a choice Mason never expected – to train with him, in open hours, and Mason knows its the best offer he’s going to get if he wants to give Millie the life she deserves, he’s going to have to earn it with his fists. And who better to teach him how to fight than the guy who took down the biggest gangster in Seattle?

And who better to teach him how to fight than the guy who took down the biggest gangster in Seattle?
Zeth thinks he is free to live life as he want’s and Mason thinks that a few fights are going to get him the extra cash he needs.
What both of them don’t realise is that there are people who haven’t forgotten about the past, and they will use whatever and whom ever they can to get Zeth to do what they want.
By the end of this book, we are left wondering if Mason has just made the biggest mistake of his life joining Zeth in his Gym and fighting for a living. And Zeth has both the Law and a Crime boss after his soul.
Book 2 will be the start of a wild ride if the title of the series gives the reader any clues – Chaos & Ruin, hopefully not for Zeth, Sloane and Mason! I guess I will have to get book 2 to find out
READ BLOOD & ROSES FIRST
IN A CONVENIENT BOX SET
Over 300,000 words and 100 chapters! The entire Blood & Roses Series in one box set!
*Please note, this is a Dark Romance series and deals with themes including violence and murder.
Zeth Mayfair’s never been troubled by morals before. As one of Seattle’s most dangerous, feared men, he’s always carried out the jobs he’s sent on without a second thought. Drugs? Guns? Dirty money? They’re all fair game. But girls? Girls are another matter entirely. When Zeth’s employer decides buying and selling kidnapped women is a lucrative sideline, Zeth’s usually uncomplicated life suddenly becomes very complicated indeed. And his biggest complication goes by the name of Sloane Romera.
As a trauma doctor at St. Peter’s Hospital, Sloane’s finger is hardly on the pulse of Seattle’s underground crime scene. Her sister is missing and she needs to find her, yet all doors leading into the seedy world of human trafficking are firmly closed in Sloane’s face. She needs information. What she really needs is help…and help presents itself in the most unlikely of forms. Zeth Mayfair is terrifying, scandalously hot, and comes fully loaded with a terrible attitude and wicked smile. He also looks like he’s Sloane’s only hope. Can she work with the guy without getting herself killed, losing her job, or falling head over heels in love?
What happens in the dark never stays in the dark.
* At the end of this special edition box set, you can also read the first chapter in Violent Things, Zeth & Sloane’s brand new story! *
