Dangerous Desires

The past always has a way of coming back to bite you. I changed my identity and thought I was safe when seeking revenge. In doing so, I also created a weakness. I never thought I would find what my heart so desperately needed. Now I’m captive in my worst nightmare, fighting to get back to my boys.

We found her and made her ours. The only problem with finding what you desire is living without it. She is our little devil. The only one who truly fits in our world of chaos. They have taken her from us and we will stop at nothing to get her back.

I have been waiting for this book! Alycia left us on a cliffhanger with Sinful Secrets. And I finally know what happened to the Reaper boys! There’s romance, suspense, mystery and quite the kink. If dark romance is your genre, try this series on for size!

Brynne has been trying to dish out revenge on the evil that exists in the world, more specifically on the evil that was inflicted on her. However, in this game of cat & mouse, Brynne has been caught & is fighting to get back to her Reaper boys!

Oh my…

I’m not even sure there are any words for how much I loved this book!

I remember reading Sinful Secrets back when that was first released and honestly I don’t think I would ever love a book as much but Dangerous Desires is definitely on the same level.

Brynne has had a tough childhood, to be fair, that’s an understatement. Throughout the duet bits and pieces come together to form the heartache and events that made her who she is.

Then there’s the boys… Matteo, Damon, Sawyer and Ryker. These boys have my heart. They also went through the works growing up.

Foster home to foster home, abuse after abuse, these five never caught a break but when they finally reconnect after a number of years they pick up and do everything in their power to make sure that no one else ever has to go through what they did.

Dangerous Desires has the answers to any question from Sinful Secrets. The twists and the turns had me on edge. With every single turn of the page I was gripped.

There was so much more than I ever expected and the creativeness of how it all unfolds is phenomenal. The two books will hold the place of 1st in my top 2025.

I loved everything about Dangerous Desires, the way the characters all fit together (in more ways than one), the way they connect and the details through the book it’s amazing. I don’t want it to end.

The SPICE!!! Oh if Alycia knows one thing it’s how to write a spice scene or two.. I needed a cold shower after some of the extravagant stuff that went on!

Alycia, you are an incredible writer and this book is just one of the best books I’ve ever read.


If you love;
• Why Choose?
• Trauma
• MMMMF
• Touch her and D!e
• Dark Smut
You absolutely NEED to read this duet.

I will forever have a place in my heart designated for Brynne and The Reaper Boys!

Thank you to Alycia for this arc copy! I loved this duology and the second book did not disappoint! While it was important for the story, the first half drug a little bit for me but overall it was soo good! We learned so much about the FMC and I’m excited to see what is next in Alycia’s dark romance journey.

I had to read book 1 before I could read this one and let me just say they both had me in a chokehold. The Rollercoaster of emotions was absolutely worth it. From anger,shock,spine tingling spice...the whole 9 yards. Definitely didn't expect some of the "ghosts" to show up but love the way it turned out. Hoping there's more to come because these books are definitely in my top favorite reads of the year!
Also, I didn't think anything would break me as much as under your scars did, but this one definitely did at one point!
100% recommend!

This book is the second installment in the Secrets and Seduction series. It offers an exhilarating journey that starts off a bit slow, but once you dive in, it truly takes off. I thoroughly enjoyed this read! Each character has faced significant challenges in their lives. Brynne had a difficult childhood, and the boys—Matteo, Damon, Sawyer, and Ryker—have also endured their share of struggles. They unite to ensure that no one else experiences what they went through. I'm curious to see what the future holds for them. Don't forget to check the trigger warnings!

I LOVED THIS! The twists and turns were phenomenal. I cried during some of this and was also laughing at parts. It was a perfect sequel to Sinful Secrets. I wish I could read it for the first time again 😭💕

After that cliffhanger in book 1 I was ready to see what happened next and let me tell you I was not disappointed. Yes it was dark and twisted but such an addicting book.

[Kelsee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another good read from Alycia! This book picked up right where the first one left off. Some questions were answered and there are also now some new questions. Good amount of spice, although it’s dark. Some parts were a little gruesome, although it added to the depth of the story. Can’t want for the next one to come out.

[Kaitlyn Cox · Rating 5 out of 5]

As always, check trigger warnings before reading any book!

Just wanted to say that Alycia has really delivered and outdone herself with this one! When I say this is the perfect way for the duet to have gone, I mean it. The level of character development and story you get to know about within this novel is TOP TIER.

Possessiveness, raunchiness, suspense, dark themes. I froth it!

Cannot wait for the next release. Never wanted to put this down
