Expected 17 Jan 26Ashes to ashes, dust to dust…
The Religious Trauma. Revenge. Destruction.
My father, the prophet, preaches about the blood of Christ, but it’s a different blood that coats his hands.
Now that I’m no longer the broken girl on her knees praying for salvation, I’m on a path of vengeance against him and the rest of our revolting line.
They were once my family. Now they are my enemies.
And the men, they underestimate women.
Underestimate me.
But I am death. Forged by my father and his sins.
Their deaths, my resurrection.
Their destruction, my rebirth.
Because the only way for me to live is for all of them to die.
The Bonetti Lost. Obsession. Harbor.
We watch as she ends lives.
We watch her when she thinks she’s alone.
We are always there, in the darkness, waiting…
Waiting for the perfect time to claim what’s ours, our Heathen, our sanctuary,
Our little killer who will burn the world around her.
And if she’s not careful, she will succumb to the flames that follow her.
But we will save her.
And she will learn once again to…
Obey.
Worship.
And serve.
But only us. Only ever us.
Destruction is the first book in the Bonetti Bastards series, a spinoff of Lunatic and Bonetti Brothers, and is for an 18+ audience as it contains scenes that might not be suitable for all readers.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS BOOK YOUR MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS.. THAT BEING SAID, I LOVED THIS BOOK!!
Noooooo........ This book took me on a ride. I literally almost threw my phone on the last page. The cliffhanger of all cliffhangers totally threw me and devastated me! I need the next book pronto please @chellerosedarkromance
This book follows MMC's Carter, Knox, and Killian who are brothers Carter cannot stand the physical touch of anyone due to what he went through for years as a young boy and when he meets the FMC Heather he finds a purpose to stay in this world. Heather also is dealing with major issues from her childhood and is getting her revenge on those who wronged her when Carter meets her.
Carter and Knox fall for Heather, but their brother Killian refuses to let her in because he is worried that her being with them is going to create the Destruction of all of them.
This book had me totally engulfed in the story. I cried when reading about what Carter and Heather have been through and are living with. Killian fights to help him get out his rage, and he has taken his big brother duties to heart!
This book ends in a MAJOR CLIFFHANGER that destroyed me and almost my phone. Thank you @chellerosedarkromance for giving me the opportunity to read and review this e-arc. I cannot wait to hear this in audio and get my hands on the next book in this series!
Quotes:
“Why do you give me such a hard time?” I ask as she starts a fast walk on the treadmill. “Because you’re a dick.” I laugh at her usual response, but I’m not buying it. “Try again, Killer.”
“I like our dynamic, as hostile as it might be. Knox and Carter treat me like I’m something precious. You’re the only one who gets it.”
“I like our dynamic, as hostile as it might be. Knox and Carter treat me like I’m something precious. You’re the only one who gets it.”
“This woman you hate so much saved my fucking life.
I watched her take control of her trauma and punish the people responsible for it. I wanted to live to see her thrive. Without her, I wouldn’t be here. Heather saved me.”

Heathen, aka Heather-I loved the nickname, by the way. It was absolute perfection for her. UGH, this poor girl went through some serious sh!t. WTH! She’s flawed, fierce, and determined, and I loved both her good and her bad. Killian, you little handsome fudger 😆, had me wanting to smack him upside the head through some chapters. Knox, right from the start… heeeeyyyy, how you doing 👀. Carter has all kinds of things going on, but he was that imperfect-perfect MC that just works.Did I mention they’re triplets? Sooooo yummy. This spoke straight to my why-choose heart 😉. The trauma bonds, the unaliving, the world-building, and of course the naughty moments were laid out like a perfect recipe that kept me flipping pages nonstop, needing to know what happens. Chapter 65… oh my. And that cliffhanger? It hurts 😭😭😭😭😭. Definitely check the content warnings before going in, because this one has all kinds of heavy stuff.
*Multiple POV’s
*Cliffhanger
*Assassin FMC
*Triplets just for her

Destruction by Chelle Rose
Book 1 in the Bonetti Brothers Series.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
🌶️🌶️🌶️
"Killian is fury, while Carter is love. Knox is consent and safety. If ever I were made to choose between Knox and Carter, i don't think I could.
As with all Chelle books please be aware of triggers in this book.
In this book we meet Heather who we first met in Lunatic as a patient in the Wellard Asylum. This is her story along with the Bonetti triplets, Carter, Knox and Killian. Carter has had trauma of his own. I absolutely adore him, I see his struggles (he can't stand physical touch) due to childhood trauma. He went through things that his brothers are not fully aware of. He struggles but then he sees Heather and sees someone who sees him. Heather sees different things in each of the brothers, they all make her whole.
Heather has vengeance in mind she needs to finish the cult. Carter and Knox i loved, I thought Killian is a total arsehole.
I can't believe we are left on a cliffhanger, omg, I was screaming. It has left me devastated. Hopefully Killian will redeem himself. I have questions that need answering that I hope are answered in book 2, which I need ASAP.
Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your team @chellerosedarkromanceauthor. As always Chelle goes there with the storylines but always does an incredible job with the triggers. I can't wait for more.

I immediately was pulled in with this book. It absolutely should have been an all day read but unfortunately life happened a few days and it took me three days to finish. Right away you learn about Heathers upbringing and get a glimpse at some of the horrible things that happened to her. Which is why the brothers keep seeing her leave people all over their woods. Of course they all like her but Carter is obsessed. So he follows her and brings her back with him. Carter can’t be touched due to his past trauma so they’re perfect together. Knox helps Carter and Heather be together where she can touch Knox. Spice level was fantastic. Dark romance was fantastic. And then you have Killian. He spent so long being the protector and not wanting her around but inside he did want her. I 100% didn’t see the ending coming! I received this as an arc but this is my honest opinion. I’ve read so many of Chelle Roses books and I swear they just keep getting better!

love love love it. I love how each brother brings something different. it took me a while to work out how it fitted with previous books but when it did I was like o now I understand so much more. I love how they all interact with eachother and bring something to the relationship. I like how the FMC interacts differently with each brother. the turmoil in the book was something else. the MMC's all work differently but amazing. when they are together it's lovely. the spice was spicy. I couldn't put the book down. I love it. I had to take a small break at the end cos WHAT THE HELL???!!!!!

Respectfully Chelle... WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT ENDING!?!?!?
Thank you for allowing me to ARC read this. The way you connected this story and followed it on from The Wellard Asylum series was great.
My poor baby Carter 😭 I loved the dynamic between the brother and Heather. But now I am sat here like... wtf happens next and why do I have to wait for it. This better be some sick twisted trick cuz that cannot possibly be the end 🥹
The entire cult storyline was amazing and if you havent read The Wellard Asylum series or any of The Bonetti Brothers series you absolutely need to!

I was the lucky person to get this book as an arc!!
Chelle Rose, you did it again!
I fell in love with every character the history of Carter was heart breaking and what happened to him.
Knoxx and Killian having to deal with the after math of what happened to him, and all three of them having to endure what their father did to their mother!
Heather's childhood was tramatic! but the way her and Carter bonded over seeing there own trauma in eachother was... was... well I just don't have words.
All three men provided a safe and secure environment. And they all provided something different for her, she felt safe, and loved in the way she never had growing up. They all bonded with her differently, and well Killian being the a****** he was, she still wore him down in the end.
Her father, well don't get me started on it.....
but that cliffhanger!!!! ahhh I need more of this story.

Why am I like this?
Chelle. GIRL. Once again, you’ve grabbed my emotions, shaken them violently, and laughed while I cried. Zero disappointment detected. 👏
Meet Heather aka Heathen (10/10 nickname, no notes). This poor woman has been put through the emotional equivalent of being hit by a bus… that’s on fire… driven by trauma. She’s flawed, fierce, and fueled by vengeance, and I loved every messy second of her. When she snaps back with lines like,
Now let’s talk about the Bonetti triplets because WOW, Chelle really said why choose (I certainly won’t chose) and meant it.
🖤Killian: handsome asshole. Sir, respectfully, I wanted to fight you in several chapters.
🖤Knox: immediately had me like heeeeyyyyy. Consent king. Safety king. Green-flag menace.
🖤Carter: the soft, broken, imperfect-perfect MC who absolutely wrecked me. Touch-averse, trauma-laden, and somehow still devastatingly romantic. When he says,
Heather sees something different in each of them, and together they make her whole. Or as the book perfectly sums up:
The trauma bonding? Immaculate.
The unaliving? Abundant.
The world-building? Dark and addictive.
The spice? Served exactly when needed.
And the pacing? Had me flipping pages like my life depended on it.
Also, this line lives rent-free in my head:
And let’s not forget that cliffhanger. RUDE. PERSONAL. EMOTIONALLY DAMAGING. The kind that leaves you staring at the wall while the words
⚠️ CHECK. YOUR. DAMN. TRIGGER. WARNINGS. This book goes hard and doesn’t hold your hand but if you like dark romance, morally grey men, trauma, vengeance, and triplets (did I mention they’re identical triplets? so yummy), then buckle up.
Chelle Rose really said destruction and meant me. 💀📖

echo in your head like a threat, a promise, and a warning all at once. Absolute betrayal. I am not okay.

Review of advance copy
This one ripped my heart out and stomped on it, but I will take the emotional damage any time for this type of read. I fell hard for Carter, Knox and Killian, and their relationship with the murderous Heather, aka K1ller.
📚What’s it about?
As Heather seeks revenge on the prophet (her father) and his disciples, she ends up attracting the attention of the Bonetti Bastards by dumping her bodies on their property. When Carter decides she would be safest with them, he takes her and decides she’s not going anywhere. Once they agree to help her, she allows herself to experience things she had never before from being cared about to pleasured in bed. The eldest brother Killian believes she will destroy his family, so he is determined she has to go no matter how much it will hurt his brothers.
💭My Thoughts:
Heather’s character is traumatized from years of abuse and cult programming, and it broke my heart how much she craved the attention and praise from the brothers. The brothers come with their own trauma and all of them are bonded by it. Although criminal, dark characters, they are written in a way that I cared about all of them. Even if I wanted to smack Killian on several occasions!
The story itself is well constructed and starts off with tension and suspense that doesn’t let up until the climatic end. If you love a dark romance where everyone is morally grey to pitch black, has tons of suspense and delivers sizzling spice add this to your TBR! Be sure to check the CW.
Thank you to the author and Book Sirens for the early copy and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Religious trauma. Found family. Why choose. Revenge. Strong fmc. Devoted mmc's... what can I say. This book had it all.
Heather is a survivor. I already loved her after meeting her in Lunatic. But she's become one of my all time favorite fmc's. She's strong, takes no shit and won't hesitate to stand her ground when she needs to.
Knox, Killian and Carter, the brothers, are a perfect mix of control, possession, care, and love.
Carter's obsession with Heather leads to all their lives intertwining in the best way. When he decided Heather was his, nothing could stand in his way. Not even hos brothers.
The tension in this boo!!!! Especially between Killian and Heather. Hate fvcking at its best.
This book reminded me of the saying "hurt people hurt people." All of them are hurting, going through their own trauma and trying to deal in their own way.
I love that Heather is just as ruthless as the brothers!! She's like a whole team of bastards all on her own.
The ending broke me. I was in tears and re read twice to make sure I hadn't imagined what happened. I will be needing book two because that cliffie is brutal. I can't wait to see where Possession takes us.
Special mention to Knox Bonetti who is the mmc to beat this year. PER-FEC-TION. 👌🤌🧎♀️
MIND YOUR TRIGGERS. This IS a Chelle Rose book, so the ride to the hea will be bumpy and filled with trauma.
Review of advance copy
‘Destruction’ is one of the best books I’ve read all year. Through Chelle Rose’s writing, I was transported into the story of Heather, Knox, Carter, and Killian to bear witness to every high and every low of their lives. Killian was a swinging Richard for 3/4 of the book. Things finally looked like they were looking up when the CLIFFHANGER hit. That cliffhanger is extremely difficult to stomach—I pray book 2 comes sooner rather than later.

Review of advance copy
This book 🤯, from the very first chapter, I knew I was in for an emotional and wild ride!
Heather (nickname - Heathen) is out for vengeance on the cult that put her through hell when she was younger. She was traumatized and used by people whom she trusted, with no means to escape. After growing up and getting away, she starts to take her revenge, and it's here that The Brothers notice her unaliving people.
Killian, Knox and Carter are triplets who all have unique personalities. Killian was cruel towards Heather (even though he wanted her) as he was afraid she would destroy them and couldn't seem to trust her. Knox is the grounding type who brings more safety. Poor Carter also had a horrible past, and because of it, he cannot allow people to touch him, but he is still sweet towards Heather and cannot get enough. Heather and Carter seem to have formed a bond over the trauma they experienced.
The spice was super steamy, and the chemistry was high! The story itself kept me on the edge of my seat and then that cliffhanger.... 🫣😮
I def recommend this book, and I cannot wait for the next one!!

The Cliffy!!! I knew it had one and I WAS NOT PREPARED for the DESTRUCTION! This story is dark so check triggers if you have any, the list is extensive and heavy. That being said, I absolutely devoured this book. Heather is a victim of a religious cult led by her father. She vows to eliminate anyone in the church who abuses children to stop the trauma she endured. She leaves the bodies on land that belongs to the Bonetti Brothers. Carter, Knox, and Killian all have a fascination with this bombshell killer and Carter brings her home to find out her story. Heather is on a journey to reclaim her power and turn her pain into vengeance. The brothers have their own story and traumas and the relationship between them is close and protective. This little killer enters their world and dynamics begin to shift. This book captivating from the very first page. Our FMC is a fighter and our Triplet MMC's are sexy, possessive, obsessive and walking red flags that I will absolutely ignore because they are green at heart. Impatiently waiting for the next installment of Bonetti Bastards.

I think I need therapy for the emotional turmoil that cliffhanger left me in….like I’m not ready to pick up another book yet. That was the mother of all cliffhangers. When is book 2 out!? Although the end left me speechless, the rest of the book was so captivating and intense. This is dark. DARK. Check your triggers, twice. The various traumas that Carter, Knox, Killian and Heather have experienced in their life is heartbreaking but seeing how they all respect each others boundaries is a light in this dark storm. Especially with how Heather is towards Carter. My heart aches for those two and I really hope they can help each other heal even just a little bit. Killian is the jerk of the bunch but his narrowed focus on keeping his brothers safe is actually making things worse, he just can’t see it. These characters are going to stick with me for sometime and their story isn’t done yet. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Again, check your triggers!

Destruction didn’t just live up to its title—it earned it.
Chelle Rose has done an incredible job seamlessly bringing together the worlds of Lunatic and Bonetti Brothers. The crossover feels intentional, polished, and powerful, never overwhelming the story but enhancing it in all the right ways.
I loved Heather in Lunatic, but in Destruction she officially become one of my all-time favorite FMC’s. Her presence, development, and intensity completely stole the show.
This is a very dark romance, and I strongly recommend checking trigger warnings. That said, the themes are handled with confidence and purpose, making the story gripping from start to finish.
And the cliffhanger… wow. Chelle Rose has truly claimed the crown as the Queen of Cliffhangers because that ending left me stunned and desperate for more.
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of the ARC team and cannot wait for Book 2 and Book 3 in the Bonetti Bastards trilogy. If you enjoy dark, why-choose romance with complex characters and high emotional stakes, this is a must-read.

What did I just read?! This book had me hooked from page one and I am obsessed. The way I flew through just needing more of everything!The story is so good and my goodness the trauma bonding 😭 and then the emotional rollercoaster is amazing.
Heather (AKA Little Heathen AKA Tesoro AKA K1ller) is on mission to avenge herself and other children hurt by her cult father.
We have sweet and dangerous Carter with an awful trauma history. Dominant and responsible Knox who always knows what Heather needs. And Killian, oh freaking MF Killian (I do love a good bully though) who in his own way is trying to protect his brothers.
Carter, Knox, and Killian find Heather dumping bodies on their land and become intrigued and obsessed with her.
This is a why choose DARK Romance. PLEASE check your trigger warnings!!! It also ends in a cliffhanger (and I will not be well until the next book comes out!)

This has one of the most Cliffhangers of cliffhangers I have ever read, so now need the next book, like now.
We have the Identical triplets, the Bonetti Bastard's, Carter, Knox and Killian. When they find bodies on their land,mother discover the killer is little blond, Heather. Knox and Carter fall fast for her, Killian not so much, he sees her as threat to his family. Heather is after the men of the cult she escaped, run by her father.
Was totally hooked but this story, love a fierce FMC out for revenge and the tension between Killian and Heather was great even though you want to kill Killian for a lot of the story. The bond between Carter and Heather is great, both understanding each others trauma, and resulting in Carter finding something to live for. And as I said previously it ended on one hell of a cliffhanger.
Please do read the trigger warnings on this one as it does cover some very dark themes. But saying that I loved this book and bring on the next.

I got another chance to ARC for this amazing author. I cannot wait for the continuation of this story. The cliffhanger…..
This book falls in line with two story lines-the Boneyti Brithers and the Wellard Asylum series. Which I have loved.
The story follows heather from the Wellard Asylum and 3 of the Bonetti Brothers, who are linked to Raven from the asylum.
I am not going to lie the set up of the first chapters of this book are a little upsetting, watch your triggers. However the book remains a great story of broken people coming together to try to heal, not in the most conventional of ways. Lots of spice……
Highly recommend this book along with the subsequent story lines. I love how you can see the evolution of the whole family and their stories. The links are there!! Must read this one!!!

This book brought me right out of a reading slump.
I love morally dark characters who are damaged by their pasts and in this you get two. The fmc, or Little Heathen, cult survivor, cannot allow the cult to carry on and will ensure that none of the men are allowed to carry on. Then there’s Carter, one of the triplets, traumatised at an early age and still living with the consequences.
There is insta obsession, insta lust and insta hate. The dynamic between Heather and Killian was incredible, the chemistry sizzling in the best way.
There are praise and degradation plus flashbacks and panic attacks. And then at the end, omg that betrayal hurt, I was crying.
I can’t believe the ending, I’m sitting here, gobsmacked and so upset, wondering how this could go forward.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Damn, this was an excellent ride I want to take again!!! I am still reeling from this cliffhanger ending & wish the next was available now!!!
A girl with a horrifically traumatic past crosses the path of a set of triplet brothers, by leaving them her messes to clean up. These three brothers have their own traumatic pasts, one of whom still has not been able to deal with his horrible trauma.
They are determined to find out why she is leaving her messes for them and to find out why she is doing what she is doing.
And they all begin to realize their attraction for her and her for them. Then, of course, things get quite complicated. Wrapping up into a cliffhanger that had me all in my emotions.
Def check your TWs, this one has some uncommon ones.

I'M SO HAPPY THAT I DID 🥹 !

I absolutely devoured this book! Finished it in 1day!
This book had drama, revenge, danger, lots of emotional moments, tension, and lots of spice.
My favorite parts were the individual relationships Heather had with each brother. They are all so perfect for each other. Carter has my heart.
Killian has so much groveling to do. However, after the way this book ended I figured he will probably punish himself.
Which leaves me with the ending... I cannot except it! I'm holding out hope we get book 2 soon!!!
Fantastic Read!

Please check all CW and TW before reading this one!! Seriously check all of them! I love me a book where the FMC, Heather, is ruthless. The reason why she is ruthless was heart wrenching. But honestly she is probably a fave of mine now. Now the guys! Triplets! Carter, Knox, and Killian match Heather to a tee! I loved that each had a different relationship with Heather so it did not feel repetitive. I am over her patiently waiting for the next installment because this one ends in a major cliffhanger.

What an ending! That cliffhanger was a doozy.
This whole book was heartbreaking. So much trauma for all the characters. They were all just doing the best they could to get through the next day.
The brothers relationship was really touching and it looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series plays out.
Heather broke my heart. She’d endured so much.
This was a dark read though. Definitely check the trigger warnings and if in doubt, definitely don’t. It’s difficult to read many parts of it.
For all that, it was an engrossing read and I’m looking forward to the rest of their story.

I will start out by saying CHECK YOUR TRIGGERS!!! This is not a fluffy romance by ANY means.
I am so honored to be part of Chelle's team because that meant I got to read this ARC. I could not put it down and finished it within a few hours.
Chelle- WHAT WAS THAT ENDING?!
I can't even put together coherent thoughts right now. I'll be over here. Staring at THE WALL if you need me.
Well played Chelle Rose....well played.

Please check the trigger warnings, as this book is dark and may not be for everyone. It delves into a religious cult and the experiences girls and women endure within it. The FMC has suffered severe trauma at the hands of her own father. As the story progresses, we see her reclaim her power and transform her pain into strength. The triplets have their own trauma as well, and in a complicated way, they fit together and form a trauma bond.

I NEED BOOK 2!!!!
I honestly devoured this book, I could not put this down and no surprise there! Chelle doesn’t disappoint!
My babies Carter & Knox deserve so much more after that cliffhanger, and my heart even hurts for Killian even though I’m not sure he deserves it? And Heather 😭 I loved getting to know her character after the Wellard Asylum series, oh how I was rooting for her and her revenge!
LOVED LOVED IT

I couldn’t put this book down. I loved Heather after meeting her in Lunatic, she is amazing and at times is just as ruthless as the men. Carter, Knox, Killian are perfect and together they all have their own traumas they are dealing with and working through. Carter can’t be touched due to his past trauma so they are perfect together. Carter is obsessed with Heather and no one was going to stop him. I loved their dynamic and seeing it grow. And then there is Killian the love hate dynamic of him not wanting her but he really did want her he was just fighting it. The story line sucks you in, you learn more about Heather’s past and the guys. Everything about this book was fantastic. Now about that ending Chelle!! What was that! I am anxiously awaiting book 2.

Cliffie alert, cliffie alert.
This book has a major cliffhanger. You'll want to throw your phone, kindle, laptop, chia pet, etc.
I love these characters-major trauma bonding, please check your trigger warnings. These characters grow on you, even the moody one. Heather has been through a lot, but she gives as good as she gets. Definitely check this one out if you want a strong FMC.
plus the brothers....so hot!
