Deadliest Love #4
Deadly Passion
What if the men I thought I loved want to ruin me?
Escaping captivity should have given me the freedom I craved, but now I’m stuck in another prison. My sexy captors know my true identity, and they want to make me pay for my deception.
The Dukes may have reunited, but dark secrets and cruel revelations have changed them. They’re broken, and so am I. Even Callen Campbell, the psycho Scottish biker, can’t fix our problems with his relentless appetite for violence.
If we stand any chance of surviving, we have to learn how to trust each other again. But knives are flying, and, if I’m not careful, one could land in my back...

Expect a curvy FMC undercover assassin, who isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and four sexy men from a rival security organisation. Be warned, these pages are filled with building tension, spicy scenes, and shattering secrets. Contains mature themes, so reader caution is advised.

Well well well it’s all coming to a head in this penultimate book 😳 so good I read in one sitting 😄
After getting back Ivy and Bram the Dukes have some serious decisions to make…can they reconcile their feelings for the girl they thought they knew with the deadly assassin in front of them 🙈 it doesn’t help that the Dukes themselves are fracturing, they’re sniping at each other generally and they can’t agree the best course with Ivy 😖 some of them can’t contain their feelings yet others become their worst self! I love how Ivy calls a certain someone (you wouldn’t expect) out on his behaviour and hypocrisy 💪 she’s such an incredible character in her strength dealing with all she has but also still calling the shots in her precarious situation!
A risky deal could give Ivy all she’s wanted and help the Dukes finally take down the KC - but can they all stick to it?!
And oh my gosh 😮😮 I read a lot of dark contemp revenge/assassin RH but I still didn’t see that shocker coming….

El ritmo es demasiado rápido, se obviaron detalles importantes y me hubiera gustado que la tensión entre los protagonistas se prolongara más, pero el suspenso me intrigó lo suficiente como para continuar.

"I meant it when I said I don’t want you. I fucking need you, and I think you need me too.”
Deadly Passion is the fourth book in the Deadliest Love series by Holly Bloom. After the ending of the last book I was quick to jump into this one and yet again another out of the park book for me 😍
Can I just say that I am starting to love all of these characters so much that it is becoming a new obsession of mine 😂 I loved that Ivy could really start being herself in this one and some of the scenes with these guys was just 🔥 again the ending was epic and I can't wait for the next one!!

I really, really wanted to love this book. The first three had be hooked and with the cliffhanger at the end of book 3, I was desperate to read this on release day.
However, the ending was disappointing. Whilst I can see how this would be an amazing cliffhanger, but if we are to believe that Daisy is alive, it just makes Ivy's storyline pointless. Her whole reason for joining the Killers Club was to get revenge for the death of her sister, but her sister was alive the whole time? And, more importantly, was a member of the Killers Club?
I have a suspicion that she may be the mysterious Lotus Killer that Ivy wanted to meet in the other books and the Killers Club purposely kept this from her.
I really hope that she is a good person and that maybe she was lied to like Ivy was and now she is going to help.

Content Warnings: sexual content, murder, violence, blood, gore, torture, and kidnapping.
Mention of: rape, sexual assault, abusive relationship, physical abuse, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, and death of a loved ones [child/parent[s]/sibling]
Why didn't I look up this series before starting and realize the final book wasn't out yet...especially since every book ends on a cliffhanger 🥹 The summary for the final book says release in August but probably dropping sooner...so I have no idea when I get to read the conclusion... *sigh*
This book didn't really add anything new to the story that I hadn't already known or guessed...now to wait for that final book drop.
Don't read below if you haven't read this book!

Deadly Passion by Holly Bloom
Releasing 1/29/2024
This is book 4 in the Deadliest Love series…but it’s not the last 🩷.
I am going to try my very best not to give spoilers but also persuade you to start this series! Let’s get into it!
Ivy has been working through a list, a list of men who took her life away, took her family from her. She is down to 2 names but there are a few road blocks, first being The KC, the found family after she had no one left the ones who trained her and morphed her into the women she is today. The second being The Dukes the 4 men who pride themselves on protection, trying to make amends for their past.
But when all her plans shatter from, lies, betrayal, and emotions. She has no trust for anyone in her life, she feels alone, misplaced. The only things she wants now is to finish her list and take out the ones who betrayed her, but The Dukes, they are a distraction, but is she able to call them an ally as well? Or are they just as bad as The KC, all she knows is that it’s her against the world and the only one she can fully count on is herself!
Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (the twist at the end)
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (oh these men)
Oh Holly why do you do this to me every single time! This cliffhanger may be the worst one yet! I was so dang happy to see more of Bram’s pov that’s my dude right there! I just need the conclusion of this series!

This series just gets better and better; I love a cliffhanger and this one has an absolute belter. Go in blind as those last few chapters will make your head spin!
This picks up straight where we left off with the Dukes dealing with the fallout from Deadly Obsession where Ivy's true identity was revealed. All the characters react differently to this and my heart is breaking for Seb the most. He deserves a grand gesture from Ivy! Freddie shows a whole new side and I liked how Ivy pushed back on not being the girl he first met and who he put on a pedestal. There are new characters like Torean who definitely leaves an impression, a bit of forced proximity, betrayal and some game changing twists. I've never settled on whose side I was really on in this series as Bloom has made both sides of Ivy and the Duke's story pretty equal with their actions being very grey (except Seb; I'm always on his side and Spencer, I'm never on his) and I am really looking forward to seeing how the final book is going to play out after that jaw dropper of an ending!
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read

Somewhere in my review for book three I mentioned I had an idea about a possible revelation for this fourth book and I am so happy I was right! This author has been throwing endless twists and turns at me in this series, and I never saw them coming, so I was really happy to be able to at least predict one thing happening! It opens so many possibilities for the final book in this series, I absolutely can't wait.
"Deadly Passion" is book four in the Deadliest Love series (NOT the final book) and this is the first book in the series where the story felt like the calm before the storm. This book is more focussed on the battle these characters are fighting within themselves, deciding who's friend or foe, leading to less action and more introspection. My favorite men in this book are definitely Callen and Bram; the first because he just stays his own psycho self, and the second because I love him for the choices he makes. I can't wait for the moment all these main characters finally embrace their common enemies and paint the world red. With this book feeling like the calm before the storm, I'm looking forward to some inevitable action scenes!

This is book 4 in the deadliest love series. I absolutely devoured this book. It was fantastic. This book picked up right where book 3 left off. I don’t want to give too much away.
I love this story so much. The twists and turns. The slowly unfolding secrets and knowing there are still so many secrets still to uncover I love it all. I love that we get even more of Ivy and Bram’s relationship. The way that Holly is truly able to give each of the guys a unique relationship is incredible. Ivy is strong, brave, smart, badass, vulnerable and is losing herself while simultaneously finding her true self. This is a story of self discovery, finding true purpose and love while also a little revenge thrown in the mix. I love that I now have more questions in relation to this story.
I truly love that these characters have had to fight for their relationships and have experienced trials and tribulations. The struggles in this book hurt my heart ugh I just wanted to hug the characters but also shake them.
I loved everything about this book, these characters are incredible, this story is amazing, I cannot wait for more and HOLLY MA’AM that cliffy was BRUTAL I need the next book ASAP.

WOW! As we jump right back into this amazing story, the insane emotional turmoil between all of the characters just bleeds off the pages. Freddie, Seb and Callen’s hearts are all in tatters and they don’t know whether they can ever trust the girl they have all fallen for again. Bram seems to be the only one that really understands what Ivy is going through and can sympathize with her and the choices she needed to make.
The amount of angst and intense emotions between them all has us readers all fearing for a happy ever after for Ivy and the Dukes. But secrets and betrayals are starting to be revealed and it is becoming shockingly clear that not is what it seems.
And the suspense really ramps up preparing us for what is sure to be one hell of a final conclusion of Ivy and the Dukes whirlwind love story.
I laughed a bit but was shocked more by what happens throughout and by the end I needed to pick my jaw up off the floor. That ending was a complete WTF kind of ending.
I shall now wait on bated breath for the final conclusion!!!

Oh My Goodness! This series is outstanding and stunning. It is jammed packed with action, drama, suspense, betrayals, lies, and secrets. It is a story that will have you on the edge of your seat. It starts right at the beginning with so much happening. It starts right where the last book ended. I absolutely love Ivy and her personality. She is feisty, stubborn, and to a degree fearless. She is strong but yet you can see she is caring. We see a different side of the guys but it is no less impactful in how you view them. I loved that we got to see more of Bram in this book. Holly Bloom writes a story that has you pulled in and unable to put it down. You feel as if you are part of the fascinating world that she created and this one is no different. Then we get to the end and it is explosive. That is one major cliffhanger and has me absolutely excited for the next book. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Thank you so much Holly Bloom for an amazing story.

WHAT WAS THAT ENDING 😭😭😭😭
Listen i had no idea what would but that ending took a turn I never would have guessed. So a lot happened in this one but also nothing. Her and the guys relationships are still very much rocky. Except with Bram 🥰
Even though they tried to not feel anything and even deny what they were feeling they still could keep their hands off each other. There was just a lot of arguments, planning and spicy scenes.
I need Ivy to get her revenge PLS. I want her to have her happy ending. There was a lot of tension and chemistry in this one and it's just gonna get better once they get on good terms. You can see how much they care for one another but they had so much going on they don't truly have time to deal with all of their feelings.
I NEED THE NEXT BOOK PLS that cliffhanger is gonna have me going crazy till I read the next book.

With each book, this series continues to impress me and it only gets better!!
Once I started it and didn't want to stop. Filled with all kinds of twists, turns and lies. Some I didn't expect. This book will have you on the edge of your seat at times.
In addition, we got suspense, all kinds of feelings involved and some spice.
I continue to love Ivy. For her strength and courage and all she is going through.
I do love the guys as well, but Bram may be my favorite.
We get to see a lot of back and forth between the characters as well as so many conflicting emotions. Who will they trust?
Overall, this was a fantastic addition to the series. I can't wait to see how things play out after they way this book eneded!!!

I need the next one!
OH MY GOSH what have I just read? I can’t believe it ended like that?! I need the next book already. Each book in this series, the cliffhangers have left me speechless but this one is brilliant. I have no words other than I need the next book.
I love the plot to this series, and the whole vibe to it, Ivy is a brilliant heroine and her men have me definitely questioning who I like the most. I’ve enjoyed getting to see more of some characters and some I’ve liked seeing the darker side of. This book definitely picked up, and I can’t wait to watch everything unfold, secrets to come to light and watch Ivy and her men take on their adversaries. Can’t wait for more of this world!

• Dark Why Choose
• Psycho Men
• FMC held Prisoner
• Curvy Badass FMC
• Serial Unalivers
• Total M!ndfuxk
• Who Did This To You
• Hate Sex In A Crypt

This series has me in a chokehold and since the next release would be the last book in the series I'm torn between craving to know what comes next and not wanting it to end. I must talk about the level of consistency because I've been hooked since book one and not once was I deterred, each book always had me at the edge of my seat brimming with anxiety with what comes next not once has they fell below my expectations it only exceeded, and the cliffhangers are some of the best I've ever read and that cliffhanger in this book is no different, my jaw is still on the floor.

Omg noooo the ending in this book has me needing the final book. It left me questioning wtf, is that who I think it is? 🤔iykyk
Thing's are coming to a head between the Dukes and the Killer Club. This picks up where the cliffhanger left off at in the 3rd book Deadly Obsession as the Dukes are trying to rescue Bram and take Ivy as their prisoner. The guy's think they can't trust her from the lies she's told, but then why was she in the cell with Bram then? This does end on a cliffhanger that will have you asking...could it be and will they ever be able to trust each other? We shall see in the final book Deadly Devotion.

ARC REVIEW
Holly did it again the mindblowing cliffhanger at the end! I just love how I jump into her book and I couldn’t stop reading. The flow of the story and how Holly weaves the plot into this series is just IN-freaking-Sane!
The boys felt betrayed and of course all of them are feeling the trust issues especially Ivy, but they need to rebuild their trust between the Dukes and Ivy. Bram omg I adore him so much and he shined in this book and well yup he is my fave.
I am pretty intrigued with Torean’s storyline even though he was such a psycho D*ck. I wonder if Holly is going to continue with that plot, but how will this story end! Ah love it!

Can't. Get. Enough!
This series is just awesome! I can't wait for the last book, if nothing else, so that I can start all over again and just super-binge it all. Ivy's secrets are out, and she goes from one bad situation to another, over and over again. Fast paced, smutty deluxe and with twists and turns that will make your head spin. Who to trust??? Bram is a big teddy bear, Callan is nuts but hot (I need the audio version just to hear that Scottish accent) and Freddie and Seb don't know what to think.
Definitely set some time aside, because once you pick this book up, you won't put it down until you're through.

Double cross
Loving this torrid tale of revenge and betrayal, picking up in the parking garage, where we left our characters in the previous book.. This latest instalment sees Ivy and the Dukes struggling to reconcile their differences leading to some harsh truths and heated scenes 🌶️🌶️🌶️
I feel that the Dukes apart from Bram all need sense smacking into them, especially Freddie, they are so caught up in the past.
This book is ram packed with action as the plot thickens and the Dukes regroup.
Bram is the secret hero yet again here, being the only one truly in Ivy’s corner.
Such an exciting read, can’t wait for the final book in this magnificent series.

so close now
These books keep gripping me, every time I think I know where we are headed something else happens. I loved the growing relationship with Ivy and Bram in this book. Their attachment is so deep and sweet and it’s about time he had his time in the spotlight. I really wanted to like the KC but they are no better than the people Ivy is trying to hunt down, I can’t wait for them to get what’s coming to them. I really wish Seb and Freddie would get their heads out their asses and just work through their feelings about Ivy to stop the push pull. Once again the spice was on point

Holly has done it again. This series keeps getting better as it goes. And the bombshells that keep getting revealed...that cliffhanger! Strap in, because this book is a wild ride!
This book picks up where Deadly Obsession left off. Bram is back with the Dukes, but so is Ivy, and they all know her secret now. Locked up and not believing her story, Ivy finds a way to escape but doesn't take it. Despite how they now feel about her, she has true feelings for the Dukes. But Callen, Freddie, Seb, and Bram can't seem to stay away from their rival assassin. But through it all, Ivy still has one thing on her mind, to get revenge for her sister, and she'll do whatever it takes to make that happen, even if it means betraying the men she cares for once again.
By far my favorite book in the series! We meet Callen's twin brother, Torean, who is just as unhinged as Callen. I kind of want him to get his own book so we can explore more of that. There are truth bombs and no shortage of spice....including a scene in a crypt! I love and adore Bram, and want to protect him at all costs! Callen is a close second though, mainly because I love his brand of crazy. BUT THAT CLIFFHANGER! To say I was shocked would be a massive understatement. I wasn't expecting it!
If you're a fan of why choose, enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers, spicy romance, assassins, and lots of twists and turns, you're going to want to read this series. It's one of my absolute favorites! I can't wait for the next book!

Holy scrap that cliffhanger.
This book spares nothing. Still more intrigue and twists than my tiny little brain can handle. We are inching closer and closer to the end. But there's so much happening in this book that I can barely unpack it all. We now have more deception, we have betrayal. We have 1 guy firmly on Ivy's side while the rest flit between her side and theirs. Still some spicy hot scenes. The chemistry between Freddie and Ivy. Ugh like combustion x15!
I cannot wait until the next book !

What a cliffhanger??? I think the cliffhanger at the end of this book was the worst in this series but definitely has me counting down for the fifth book. I can’t wait for the conclusion to this series! This book was a quick read that I couldn’t put down. There are several twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat. There are a few steamy scenes filled with tension.
I really like Ivy and her refusal to just give in to the Dukes. I absolutely love Bram and need more of him. I still like Callen and Seb. I’m not so sure about Freddie right now although I partially understand his conflicted feelings.
I have a few theories after that cliffhanger so I will just be trying to patiently wait to find out what happens next!!!

Ivy (FMC) is back in the hands of The Dukes in book 4 in this series and the trust is pretty much non-existent with Bram still recuperating from being shot. My word did the plot twists and turns came thick and fast in this book. With all the steamy scenarios between Ivy and the guys throughout this book were so hot!! As with the rest of the series there was so much happening that id kept you on your toes big time and with that cliff-hanger ending. Ill be counting down the days until book 5 comes out now.

With Deadly Passion being the book before the finale, we get an absolutely wild ride as everything comes to head between Ivy and the Dukes. There is so much suspense and betrayal flying around that my emotions were all over the place. Ivy, however, is as strong and resilient as ever despite the hell she has lived through. I also can't help but love the Dukes as we continue to learn about every facet of them as individuals. Bloom has done a fantastic job with this series so far, I just need the conclusion to this roller-coaster please!

We start off where the last book ends with the Dukes running for their lives and the killer club getting closer with every turn. With the last book coming closer and closer there is still a lot of secrets and distrust between Ivy and the Dukes. I just love Ivy - she is so strong and will not take any rubbish from anyone and I am hoping she will get the ending she deserves. Holly is able to write a book where the plotline just draws you in until the last page - and talking about the ending - it just blew my mind away! I need to find out what happens in book 5.

I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!
OH. MY GOSH.
I have followed this series through every wild twist & turn, and I have loved every minute of it. Each book has kept me on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what will happen next. The delicious spicy scenes that are sprinkled perfectly throughout the storyline are an added bonus. But the ending of this book... I don't even have words. My jaw dropped & I got goosebumps! When I tell you, I am RUNNING to the next book!! I have to know what happens next IMMEDIATELY!
Holly Bloom, this series is perfection!

The plot darkens
It goes from bad to worse. The dukes take a trip to heal their wounds but ivy isn't happy about it. The betrayal keeps running deeper. She try lies to trust them, but they lie to her face. The killers club are circling and as ivy tries to finish her list she doesn't know who is left on her side. The plot twists with a giant cliffhanger which I thought might be the nail in the coffin for ivy. I can't wait to read bk 5 to see what happens next. This series has been so entertaining and kept me on my toes. Great read.
