ABOUT BELLA:

A fan of erotic psychological thrillers that are full of steam and angst, dark romance that doesn’t shy away from the pain and violence of life, but a devoted hater of the way the villain is always magically redeemed by his love for the heroine or the amazing coincidence whereby the hero just happens to sweep in and save his woman before she can really be hurt, Bella Faust spent years hoping that her favourite dark romance authors would go balls to the wall in one of their dark romance books… or even better write a whole series of these stories.

During that period of misguided longing, she worked as a finance manager at her local university, studied for her MBA, completed a BA in English, raised her two kids, taught English to high schoolers, volunteered as a Lifeline crisis counsellor, drove her husband mad with her complaints about the dearth of true dark psychological romance books, and dipped her toe into ghost-writing and editing.

Then she decided to write the books she wants to read for her-damn-self.

And, now, she’s inviting you inside her madness… as long as you make sure to check the trigger warnings beforehand!

[Dawnmarie Burke · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the dark and steamy psychological suspense thrilling prequel to the Duplicity Trilogy. We get a brutal obsessive love story between a psychopath obsessed with revenge on sweet Anna who is innocent. Anna's twin Sander cost Alex his dream so "his monster" decided that she had to pay for that. However Alex didn't count on how strong Anna would be and that she would fight him at every turn which excites him. She even tells Alex that she doesn't want to see him again they're done which sets off "his monster". I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this dark and steamy psychological suspense thrilling prequel to the Duplicity Trilogy to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

This dark thriller kept me glued to my seats with Alex and his obsessive need for control. He went to the deep end to get what he wanted and Anna. Be warned this book has triggers and may be a difficult read for some.

This is a great view of the Duplicity Trilogy thru the eyes of one of the many Villains Alex. It helps to understand his character more even though he still is one of the many villains.

Craving Control by Bella Faust is the first book in the Villian's View series. This is a Black Shamrocks Motorcycle Club book and I think it was a good read although it was a little dark.
