Vicious Intentions
There are no rules for men like them.
Cain, Hunter, and Cristiano were heirs to some of the richest and most powerful families in the world, men who might as well have been kings. Ten years ago, they took an interest in me.
Or at least that’s what happens in the fleeting memories I still have left after the car accident.
I never expected to see them again, until the day a ruthless Chicago crime boss and two of his closest friends came to watch my show and then decided they wanted to see more of me.
By the time the memory of their faces returned, I already knew I wouldn’t be able to forget them.

This book was another engrossing Mafia-themed gem by Ms. Stone.This story kept me riveted. I had to finish it. I had to know what happened. I had to know why.The journey took me on a roller coaster of emotions along with the characters who were real. They had flaws, but that was to be expected given the degree of trauma that they had been subjected to as children, especially Cain. Now, all he wanted was revenge, but revenge is not always sweet. They had a cold-hearted, chilling agenda. There was no remorse or conscience when it came to having revenge. I found the degree of violence disturbing but utterly engrossing.
This story was darkly compelling, and I felt that the power balance between Cain, Hunter, Christiano, and Sage were warped, but the person who surprised me the most was Sage. Innocent and vulnerable she was, but there was nothing sweet about her dark fantasies The men went from hellbent on getting revenge to grieving the one woman who was a perfect match for their sadistic needs.
I felt the emotional growth of the characters was the beauty of the book for me. They didn't suddenly become Mr. Nice guys, but Sage gave meaning to their lives. There was intense, steamy, and graphic sex scenes with discipline thrown into spice things up. Not that it needed more spice as it was sizzling hot as it was. This book was dark, decadent, and just downright dirty and not for the faint-hearted, but it was also an edgy and suspenseful romance.

Sage knew Cain, Hunter and Cristiano ten years ago. When she encounters them again, they are even more cruel and demented than they were, but they still want her. This why choose story is complex, spicy hot, and carries Piper Stone's trademark sassy and feisty heroine and Heroes that are absolutely over the top, but do get redeemed with a happily ever after. From the gorgeous cover to the very last page, I was captivated to the point of not being able to put it down. Who needs sleep anyway? This is entirely worth the one click.

A simply fantastic read, loved the characters and the plot simply captivating reading
I guarantee that you will love every moment of this simply wonderful book as it was written simply splendidly the characters are complex and the scenario will hold you attention in full and I guarantee that you will find yourself ready and waiting for the capture of those that had caused her so much pain and heartbreak in the past.
Cain had seen his beloved brother slaughter on the night of a storm and had sworn that he would definitely have retribution when he discovered who the attacker was and he had kept his promise. Sage had been on the same campus and she had been a quiet and reserved individual that kept herself to herself however, her actual inner feelings and writing had shown that she had a dark and depraved sexual chemistry that she guarded closely, unfortunately she had been being spied on and her privacy did not exist.
Sage had believed that her family was the norm if not a little over protective and so when she had finally been allowed to join the college, she had felt that she was starting to feel her way in the world. Imagine her surprise when she had been informed of who the head of the college was and how they ruled the students and how they were determined to find retribution for the murder of his brother but their plan had backfired and Sage had been injured.
Cain, Hunter and Cristiano had remained in touch over the decade following Sage’s death and during this time there had been various attacks on their lives and still they had not been able to catch the man that was the professional assassin known as the Iceman, if only Theodore had not interfered the night, they had first taken Sage into their arms and beds their lives would have been so different.
I guarantee that you will be captivated by this simply wonderful read, there are plenty of twists and turns and there is a terrific surprise that I know will have you on the edge of your seat, I guarantee you will be blown away by this simply fantastic read.
You will love every moment of this book and you will not be able to put tbe book dow until you reach the final page of this book.

Three best friends more like brothers all broken each with their own flaws, but that was to be expected considering the abuse they endured daily as children, especially Cain after watching brother slaughter one night on top of the everything else all he wanted was revenge, making the person pay for the death of his brother and his two best friends were happy to assist but revenge doesn’t work out as planned so hang on and double check that you are buckled up, dangerous men, alpha’s personified, possessive, oh, gorgeous, brooding all the makings of a story consisting with three D’s (dark, delicious, and dirty) 😊. There will be suspense, betrayal, death, darkness, secrets reveled, violence, hope, forgiveness, and maybe even love but by the time you figure it all out your head will be so messed up and you will find yourself re-reading certain parts saying or asking yourself or better still screaming at yourself WHAT THE WHAT JUST HAPPENED…..hang on it about to get real bumpy! Sage looks like the sweet, the innocent and she is on the outside but there is another side to her that isn’t so innocent I mean it makes you do a double take beautiful but downright deliciously dark so much, so it draws her three much darker men who are happy to take her to the darker places giving them meaning seeing something more to life than revenge. But there is someone out there wanting all three of them to suffer to that they hurt Sage or take her away from them when Sage was in an accident the guys were told that she died (mind you I said they were told not verified) well that destroyed them. Hunter went to the casino to meet up with one of the guys, while there having a drink he hears an angel singing going over to get closer listen and meet the angel singing. The famous singer's name is Rose, but she reminds him of their Sage introducing her to the boys and they agree she reminds them of their Sage but not everything is as it seems, and someone is playing a deadly game to destroy all of them. Rose is determined to find out what happened to her and why her parents are at the heart of it all but who is after they why, who are her parents really, who is she really Rose or Sage, who killed his brother why, who are the families who run the school, and can the four of them who need it so badly find some form of happiness?

I loved Vicious Intentions by Piper Stone. This is the first book I have actually read by Piper and I am hooked. I could not put Vicious Intentions down from the moment I started reading. While the book is on the long side it was definitely worth every moment I spent reading. I was able to finish the book in one sitting. I loved Sage, Cain, Cristiano and Hunter. There was a dark side to the three men, but Sage became their obsession and brought out the good that was within them. The alpha males became Sage's protector and made all of her carnal desires come true. Her darkness called to their darkness making the chemistry between them intense and explosive. There were times the story was predictable, but Piper also kept me guessing as well. I have read several good books this year, but I must confess this one has just become my favorite. I could actually read it again because I enjoyed it so much. I am interested to read more books by Piper.
It all starts as a vendetta that Cain intends to collect, but quickly turns into an obsession. Cain and his friends Cristiano and Hunter want to own Sage making her their pet. They finally had her...she was theirs, but as quickly as they had they lost her to an accident. Now ten years later another woman Rose steps into their lives. Their instant attraction and desire to own her has only happened once. They finally feel alive again and make a move to own this new flower who is prime for the picking. Rose is just as attracted to them and it doesn't take long for her to give into her desires to enjoy all three of them. With her memories slowly returning in broken pieces Rose soon realizes something isn't right and seeks out those answers. There is someone hunting them and their lives are now in danger, but the men will stop at nothing to protect Rose even if it means laying down their lives. Can Rose get the answers to her questions before it is to late? Will the guys be able to stop the person who wants to end their lives in time to secure a happily ever after with the woman who means the world to them?

This fantastic book had me hooked from the very beginning. Starting life as what seems like your typical University enemies-to-lovers romance this book took that trope and blew it out of the water, giving a delicious second chance romance with plenty of danger, drama and deliciously detailed spice.
Originally set out on seeking revenge when Cain, Hunter and Cristiano encounter Sage at University something changes, she has a hint of darkness in her and it calls to them and their feelings change from seeking revenge to seeking a relationship however all that changes when she’s killed in an accident the same night they establish their connection.
The book then jumps forward 10 years and we meet the men again. We learn how Sage’s death affected them and how they’ve grown up and grown apart. The author does a great job of showing the growth they’ve accomplished and when they meet Rose, a singer performing in the hotel they see their chance to find happiness again. Only someone has other ideas for them all with secret notes, texts and attacks, Danger lurks around every corner and the men need to find out if they can protect Rose or will they lose her like they lost Sage.
It’s a brilliant story with lots of twists and turns. Although it was easy to tell what was going to happen in certain aspects of the story as it progressed it didn’t detract from the story at all or make me not want to continue reading and that’s because the author did such a good job of at dropping hints about events that had occurred but without giving the full details so the four characters have to find out the truth for themselves leading to a story of mystery, suspense and danger.
The relationship between the three men and their woman is electrifying with her coming across as sweet and innocent in the public eye but having a darker, kinkier side deep down that she likes to bring out to play. If you love possessive, over-the-top men who like to dominate, spank and take control then you will love the men in this story.

So beautiful, three men and a beautiful songbird finds love, then tragedy almost cost them everything.
Cain, Hunter and Cristiano were apart of a group call Elite at City of Hope University. They ruled the university and the girls that was with them were considered the chosen. Sage was studying music and she secretly sang at a nightclub. Cain knew her father was hired to killed his brother when he was twelve years old. He decided that they would get Sage to their last party before graduation but they wasn’t going to let her go. On that night, so many events took place which led to her being injured. To protect her, her parents declared her dead and hid her until she recovered, but she had memory loss and didn’t remember anything from that night. Cain, Hunter and Cristiano suffered for ten years believing that the girl they had fallen in love with died and they felt responsible. As fate would have it, she was a megastar singer and each man had become very powerful and wealthy men taking over their families business. As she met each man individually, she felt a strong attraction to them and she was helping to heal the hearts and dark souls. The story had a lot of twists and turns and trying to guess who was sending them threatening messages. The story kept me spellbound until the last word. I wish the author had added her telling her loves she was pregnant. Worth the read and definitely five stars.

Vicious Intentions is a mafia romance that follows Cain Cross, Hunter Augustine, Cristiano Moreno and Sage Winters. And let me tell you it's dark, dangerous and delicious page-turner. You can't help but be captivated by their storyline that started ten plus years before.
While Cain and Cristiano were sons of ruthless mafia families Hunter father's textile manufacturing business was built on blackmail, violence, and intimidation also. Each violent, twisted and deadly in their own way.

While Cain and Cristiano were sons of ruthless mafia families Hunter father's textile manufacturing business was built on blackmail, violence, and intimidation also. Each violent, twisted and deadly in their own way.

Cain was going to make the person pay for the death of his brother. With his two best friends Hunter and Cristiano by his side, they will make it happen. Sage has no idea that she is the target of a vendetta. An eye for an eye. But why is she the target when she has nothing to do with it. Cain grew up with an abusive father which made him cold and cruel. I have to say the story that Sage was writing was definitely hot. But the story takes a shocking turn in the beginning. I did not see that coming. Now, I don’t want to say what happens after because it will give away things. But I am going to say that this story was way different than I thought. Yes, there is revenge, but we also see the guy’s change. They not only grow but finally realize what they want. The heart finally comes into play. There are surprises throughout the story. I had a feeling that what was going on was hidden. This was a great story. I loved every twist and turn.

This was quite the twisted story line and I loved it! A very different book. It is typical of the author's style of writing, while at the same time, a very unique story line. This book is full of steam which is always part of her books. But the twisted story line is such a unique one. It is a very slow build. In fact at one point it slowed way too much for me and found myself doing other things. But when you get past that little blip at about the half way point, the story really picks up as Rose, Cain, Hunter and Christiano try to unravel a mystery that started a long time ago. Other than the HEA, it was very difficult to try and anticipate what would happen next. The chess game being played between the lives of all involved in past and into the present was well done. There is lots of mystery, intrigue and suspense in this book.

Another amazing mystery action packed, page turner impossible to put down revenge seeking adventure book by the talented Piper stone! We get hear from all the main characters perspective/ point of views I love this book so much I hope it becomes a series one day. I can’t believe how much steaminess is in here along with the crazy the three strong I can get away with anything attitude the men have lol! Poor Saga doesn’t stand a chance against these trouble makers it’s a good thing she has a back bone which makes this book more entertaining enjoy then it already would be. She is intelligent along side as dark desires of her own don’t underestimate her strength. This book is full of secrets, betrayal, lots hot scenes, trauma, very suspenseful among other things to keep you wanting more and on the edge of your seat. Is enemies to lovers , dark themes for sure and surprisingly thank goodness as a happy ending which I think could easily be the start of a 2rd book:)

I don't even know where to begin with this review, it is most of everything that I liked in a dark romance. Cain Cross wants blood. The blood of the person responsible for his brother's death. His revenge leads him to Sage Winter, a beautiful siren with the voice of an Angel. Heavily protected for most of her life, she finally has the chance to attend a college away from her parents. Cain, along with his two best friends Hunter and Cristiano have had their set on Sage for a while and they finally make their move on her, what they didn't expect is falling for her.
This book is filled with all types of twists and turns with a dash of murder mystery. I would consider the spice to mild. The story focuses more on the plot and character flaws.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others.

A dark fated romance that leaves you reeling with suspense!
There is absolutely no way to not hate Cain, Hunter, and Cristiano’s stalking of Sage, yet when they act on their plans, it’s an epic collision that crumbles around them. Fast forward 10 years and Rose is performing at Cain’s club and there is magic in the air that attracts each man to Rose that they hadn’t felt since Sage. I was rooting for Rose to finally discover the missing pieces of her past with the help of her impassioned men and parents. Behind the scenes the plot twists are plentiful that will have you turning the pages to figure out who put this scenario in play and who will Cain, Hunter and Cristiano win Rose’s hand in marriage!

Author Piper Stone defintely knows how to entrap her readers with her dark Mafia reverse harem stories. Literally I was captured into this heated world from the beginning wondering what level of action she was going to take me on!

★ “I do so love a woman who can handle the darkness.” ★
—>>> This was probably one of my favorite RH dark romance reads from this author! I loved seeing how these three men were soon turned upside down by this one woman they were intending to make pay for the death of a loved one, by making the daughter of the killer they sought pay for his murder. She steals their hearts from them despite their dark intentions, only to be taken from their lives, with no recourse. Just when you think it’s all over, they soon realize that they will be able to live again, and to do it right this time around.

The prologue to the story is so powerful but unfortunately I could not warm up to the characters. Normally there are redeeming features but I just couldn’t see them in these characters even Sage/Rose. That being said it was a story full of spice and intrigue and the twist at the end goes a long way to explain the mentality of not only Cain but also Hunter and Cristiano, who, to be fair, never make any apologies for who they are. A good story and all the threads joined together at the end.

Three rich and powerful young men find the woman of their dreams, only to lose her. Years later, in the midst of turmoil, they are reunited with each other and another woman who is eerily similar to their former lover.
I was mesmerized by this story of the three men, who grew up in similar situations of wealth, power and violence. The story has action, mystery, suspense, and plenty of plot twists. And a whole lot of steam.
