Do You Regret It?
“How much can you take before I break you, angel?”
Pru is strong and determined, and when she’s fired from being an officer for her size, she has every intention of making her ex-boss regret it. He doesn’t appreciate the fact that she has a knack for finding people. Despite being unemployed, she still has people coming to her to find their loved ones, and he’ll soon see the mistake he made.
People are going missing, and she’s going to get to the bottom of it, badge or not.
Then she meets Dex and she learns instantly that he’s not the typical, attractive guy who has a thing for plus-size women.
He’s insane. A sociopath. He’s a sexy man with the darkest of secrets, yet she’s drawn to him like a moth to a flame, even though he could kill her at any moment. He likes his women afraid, and he doesn’t need to hide behind a mask to make her that way. Their bond quickly becomes dangerous, deadly, and utterly addictive.
But those secrets of his catch up to him and become her problem too. What will she do when she discovers who he truly is, and how will she come to terms with the knowledge that he’s tied to all the missing people she’s been trying to find?

Mmmm this was delicious. The trigger warning buffet is large with this one. This is dark, twisted, and very addictive. The MMC is psychotic and perfect. The FMC is a cop well ex cop.
This is unhinged and complex. Their story is beyond complicated and I absolutely loved all the twists! I didn't put it together so I was def shocked as things got revealed.
I give dv Fischer all the credit in the world for creating the suspense, but the chemistry between the MC's. It was balanced perfectly.

Well, D.V. Fischer has done it again! And apparently, my love for completely unhinged fictional men knows no limits.
This book was dark, twisted, deliciously messed up, and packed with suspense, spice, and unexpected twists!
Let’s talk about Dex for a second. That man isn’t just a walking red flag. He’s the entire collection, and then some. A possessive, obsessive, morally BLACK sociopath who makes absolutely no apologies for who he is. And somehow, you still find yourself rooting for him.
And Pru? I absolutely loved that we got a strong, determined, plus-size FMC who refuses to let anyone underestimate her. She has a backbone, knows what she wants, and isn’t afraid to go after it. Even when what she wants might be the most dangerous man in the room.
Their chemistry is intense, their relationship is anything but conventional, and the way attraction, fear, and obsession intertwine makes their dynamic so addictive.
But what really makes this story stand out is that there’s so much more going on than just the romance. The mystery, the danger, and the twists keep you guessing, while the darkness just keeps getting darker.
If you love your MMCs completely unhinged, your romance morally questionable, and your stories full of suspense and spice, this one deserves a read.
D.V. Fischer certainly knows how to write men we should probably run from but would rather read another 300 pages about.

Woooooof this was so damn good!
We have Dex and Pru
Dex is a sociopath who’s a doctor and harvests organs for someone he’s not sure who but he’s paid well and he gets to play in blood his idea situation
Pru is a plus sized officer who got fired from her job because her captain is a 🍆 so when she’s out drowning her sorrows she meets Dex she’s surprised he’s into her but they hit it odd spectacularly! Even though she’s fired she still continues to look for missing women which leads her to the library which is an underground club where Dex is a member!
This story really had it all Dex is a sociopath but he has these intense feelings of possessiveness of Pru and she is defiant but melts at his touch! He likes that he can scare her and she likes it and makes it a more enjoyable experience for both of them!
Pru can see what Dex is he’s never lied to her about who he is or what he does and she accepts him as he is; their love is different she’s in love with him and he is with her but in his own way he will protect her until the day he dies and will kill anyone who dares to take her away from him!
This was bloody gory spicy AF I mean the pew pew scene goooood mercy! It’s a short read but it packs a punch!
Loved the plus size representation and how much Dex worshiped all her curves!

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review… This is one of those books that will make you question your thought processes but you are also unable to put it down…
Dark, so dark. Touch her and die, dark. Never touch what is mine, dark. Sociopath with childhood trauma, dark.
This story has it all. Broken heart from loss, perfect prey. An addictive taste and submissive fear… Dex loves it all and hopes to get it all from Pru.
Pru finds Dex intriguing but cannot place why she enjoys his company.
An unlikely love story that will knock your socks off!!
Big girls get the crazy possessive male, too!

DV once again doesn't disappoint. It's got forbidden love, suspense, drama, and murder. I was hooked from the 3rd chapter. She let's Pru shine as a full figured queen and a badass and Dexter you can't help but like him in a way you know you shouldn't.

Looking for a new dark romance read, this is it. I love when a FMC detective falls in love with the morally black MMC who she just happens to be hunting. This was full of absolute suspense, so much spice, and a plot twist I never saw coming! Honestly such a stressful read in the best of ways. It was the perfect mix of not knowing who to root for and yet hanging on to see how it all played out in the end. I hope there will be another one!

Pru is a strong, determined woman, and a newly unemployed Police Officer! Pru is determined to prove her boss has made the wrong decision during her. So when she is approached to find some missing persons the Police can't seem to find she of course jumps at the chance.
These searches lead her into the path of Dex, who readily admits himself is an insane sociopath with deep dark dangerous secrets which just thinking about should scare Pru away. However Pru can't seem to turn away from Dex and becomes drawn deeper and deeper into his dark twisted world where literally anything can be bought for a price.
Dex is dangerous and a bad guy, and when you discover what he does you should be disgusted by him, but you can't help being drawn in like Pru who eventually sees a very different side to him, but Dex initially hides his true self from her and what he really does for those who own the club. Dex is literally a surgeon for hire. He is literally provided with a body and he harvests what those in charge want to sell to the highest bidder. Dex didnt have a conscious or question those in charge until he becomes involved with Pru.
Pru was one of the good Policewomen who cared about the job and the people, the last person that should be sacked! Even when shes thrown out of the Police force she has the urge to continue to help people by becoming a private investigator.
Its whilst doing this investigating that Pru stumbles upon an ordinary looking warehouse that houses a very elite club where girls are paid for their services. Though if they ask too many questions or try to leave they are handed to the other part of the trafficking business that 'deals with them' and harvests what rich people want you buy.
Pru needs to find the missing girls and needs to get in that club and theres only way in for a woman like her and thats to work there. Before she realises she is in too deep, but Dex has developed a soft spot for her, can he rescue her or will 'the club' deal with them both and make them disappear?
Not my usual type of read, fairly descriptive and at time explicit but the mystery, danger etc piqued my interest and once I started reading i honestly didnt want to put the book down.

Pru gets fired from the police force because of her size and immediately decides she is going to prove exactly how big of a mistake that was. I loved that she refused to let losing her badge stop her from helping people or searching for those who had disappeared. She is stubborn, capable, plus-size, and absolutely determined to get answers.
And then she meets Dex. Sweet baby Hekate, THIS MAN IS NOT MORALLY GRAY. He is morally pitch fucking black. (YUMMM!) Sociopathic, possessive, obsessed with blood, and carrying enough secrets to fill an evidence locker, Dex is exactly the kind of character you know you should be horrified by while somehow continuing to turn the page to see what he does next.
What really kept me invested was the suspense surrounding the missing-person cases and how quickly Pru’s personal and professional worlds begin crashing into one another. She knows Dex is dangerous. She knows there is something very wrong about him. And yet the chemistry between them is intense enough to make self-preservation apparently optional. The twists made this feel like more than just another unhinged dark romance.
I also loved seeing a fuller-figured FMC who is allowed to be confident, desirable, competent, and messy without her body becoming something she needs to “fix.” Pru has enough problems without the story treating her size as one of them. And paired with a man whose response to anyone hurting her is basically “cool, I’ll remove their organs,” the touch-her-and-die energy is STRONG.
It was dark, bloody, spicy, suspenseful, and delightfully fucked up. I loved the surprise ending I didnt see coming! Definitely check the trigger warnings because Dex does not merely cross boundaries—he sees them, waves politely, and keeps walking.
Thanks to DV Fischer for gifting me an eARC of Do You Regret It. I am leaving this review voluntarily. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Enter Dexter (Dex) Doctor extraordinaire!
He hides his dark side well and soon coaxes Pru into talking with him.

This story is full of drama and is quite fast paced, but doesn't leave you in it's dust.
Dex has unusual "kinks" Which is why he is good at what he does for his employers.
Pru starts looking for the library, as that was the last place Cassie had been seen.
The trouble with Dex he is fixated on ex cop Pru after his encounter at the bar, and invites her to "The Library". He overheard her conversation on the phone and knew he needed to see her in his personal space at the library.She just didn't realise this library was completely different to what she expected. A hidden underground sex club!
Pru fears Dex, but desire wins over and she lets him seek his unusual pleasures from her. Blood is his drug of choice!
Open door smut!! Yes Please! There is plenty of heat between the two as they soon realise they are on different sides of her missing persons case.
Loved this story in its entirety and couldn't fault it in any way.
Who doesn't love a Psycho who has a blood fettish?
Pru obviously!
And does she regret it??

D.V. Fischer has delivered an extraordinarily dark, suspenseful, and deliciously twisted romantic thriller.
The story centers on a high-stakes cat-and-mouse dynamic between Pru, a resilient lead who refuses to be underestimated, and Dexter, the unhinged criminal she is assigned to track down.
Dexter is unapologetically dangerous, possessive, and shaped by severe trauma, yet his intense fixation on Pru makes him impossible to look away from.
Pru herself is an outstanding heroine—confident, grounded, and completely unbothered by standard tropes, standing her ground even when drawn to the most dangerous man in the room.
The connection between them sparks an addictive cycle of danger, electric chemistry, and psychological intrigue, blurring the line between a high-stakes hunt and an undeniable obsession.
Beyond the heat and complex character work, the novel excels in its pacing and narrative control. Fischer balances explicit romantic tension with a genuine criminal mystery, delivering unpredictable plot twists and high stakes that keep you perpetually off-balance.
The result is an unsettling, compulsively page-turning experience that challenges your internal moral compass and refuses to let you go until the very last word.
Content & Trigger Warning:
This book contains extremely heavy themes, including intense violence, sociopathic behavior, trauma, and dark, morally ambiguous romantic dynamics. Readers are strongly advised to review full trigger warnings prior to reading.

Do You Regret It is a dark, sociopath, romance story. This story had me sucked in... like.. all the way in.
Pru is a detective who is fired from her job because she refuses to take her boss up on his advances. Even being fired though, she still has people reaching out to her for help to find their loved one since she's great at what she does. She is determined to prove her ex boss wrong and make him regret firing her!
In comes Dex, an attractive man who has a thing for plus sized women. Except he isn't just your typical good looking guy. He is a sociopath with dark and dangerous secrets. She knows he can kill her at any moment, but she can't help the draw she feels toward him, his dark and dangerous nature keeping her addicted. Except, his past won't stay buried and pulls her into his world and becomes her problem too. Unfortunately for her, she's learning that the man that she is addicted to may be tied to all the missing people she's been looking for.
This story is wild and I enjoyed every second of it. I think Pru's determined nature was a great mix with Dex's dark and dangerous side. Pru, regardless of whether she was putting her life on the line by entering that club or not, was determined to find those girls, whatever the stakes. She's brave and doesn't let fear deter her.
I love D.V.'s writing. I have read almost all the books D.V. has written. They are addicting and thrilling, and I am always looking forward to the next one.

ARC REVIEW SPOILER ALERT 🚨
This book had me hooked! I went in expecting an intense read, but the mix of suspense, twists, and morally gray characters made it hard to put down. Dex was definitely a standout character for me. I loved his possessive nature and how unapologetically unhinged he could be. There’s just something about a character who embraces his flaws that keeps you wanting more.
Pru was a bit of a mixed bag for me. There were moments when I really liked her, and others when I found myself questioning her choices. But that made her interesting because she wasn’t always predictable. The chemistry between her and Dex was intense and complicated, and their relationship definitely kept things interesting.
The plot kept me turning the pages because there was more going on than just the romance. The suspense and twists kept me guessing, and the story took some turns I wasn’t expecting. The ending especially caught me off guard. It wasn’t what I would have predicted, but it definitely left an impression.
Overall, if you enjoy morally gray characters, possessive love interests, suspense, and relationships that push boundaries, this one is worth checking out. Just be sure to check the content warnings before diving in!

DV Fischer has a way of creating romance in the most unexpected ways. Because at the end of the day, everyone deserves to be loved, inside and out! ❤️
Our FMC, Pru, embraces her new future while still holding on to her investigative roots, despite the judgment and criticism she faces because of her size. I loved seeing a woman who is unapologetically curvy find love without feeling like she needs to change who she is.
And then there’s Dex… 🖤 A morally gray MMC who somehow becomes incredibly lovable because of the way he loves Pru and embraces every part of her, curves and all. Their chemistry? Let’s just say the spicy scenes are delivered exactly as expected! 🔥
But here’s where things get complicated…
How do you stay true to yourself, your values, and your morals when the person you’re falling for is a sociopath, and innocent people are going missing? How do you love a man who makes you feel loved with the darkness that might surround him knowing he can never truly love you back?
Because falling in love is one thing… but what happens when love challenges everything you believe in?

I firstly want to apologise to the author for how late the review is, being swamped due to personal circumstances. I am going to be completely honest, Dexter off the bat felt immature and brainless, money and blood being his only motivators much like most dark romance books. He came across quite boneheaded at first. He was incredibly intense and it feels like there's no let up or softening in him until the very end.
I couldn't help but notice punctuation in wrong places and sentences that didn't run well but I do love the premise of the different work fields without giving too much away, love the polar oppositeness of it all. It feels sometimes quite rushed, it would have been nice for the focus at first to be the a case or two before the big one.
All in all I did enjoy the storyline I just would have liked to see a bit more plot for substance, I am in grateful to have met Pru and Dex and their quirky little love I just would have wanted more depth
3.5 ⭐

His angel, her monster. Pru and Dexter had me questioning everything right alongside them! Pru was once a detective, and when she starts digging into missing persons cases, she quickly finds herself in deeper than she ever expected. The more she uncovers, the more exposed she becomes. Then there’s Dexter, a surgeon with a huge surprise waiting for Pru. He feeds off her fear, and she seems more than willing to give him exactly what he wants. Just when you think you have everything figured out and know who the real bad guy is, DV Fischer throws a curveball that makes you question everything all over again! I love a book that keeps me guessing, and this one definitely delivered. Between the suspense, the spice, and all the twists and turns, I was hooked. This story will have you questioning everyone, including your own sanity! If you love dark romance with plenty of suspense, unexpected twists, and spice, this is definitely one to add to your TBR!

***ARC review***
I struggled with this one. I was intrigued from the very start. On one hand Dec is dropping iconic lines.
“We don’t pray to God here. God only exists because I do.”
“Baby boy, I’d burn the world for her if I had to. Murder. Mayhem. I’d create the apocalypse, reassemble society, and seat her on a throne made of the bones of all those who’ve wronged her.”
“You’re fucking mine, Angel. You can’t be mine if you’re dead.”
BUT THEN he is saying “God blessed me in size before he kicked me out of heaven.” and I got the ick. And I’m not here to yuck anyone’s yum but him just being able to randomly find a purseweb spider and use it during sex… lost me there.
Would I read again? Probably not. Would I recommend it! Probably- because it was delightfully weird and entertaining and I could understand how this could be right up someone’s alley. Check your triggers and proceed at your own risk.

Do You Regret It by DV Fischer is a fantastic read if you love dark, sociopathic MMC and an FMC that just can't stay away, against her better judgement.
I will say, I wish Pru had connected some of the dots faster in this story, especially since she was a great detective, but I think it's also a great way of portraying that one - we're human, and two - love and obsession can sometimes make us blind to what's right in front of us.
This is a dark romance and includes a lot of dark themes, so please be mindful before you read!
Triggers include sexual content, russian roulette s*x scene, spiders, fear kink, blood, death, black market organ trafficking, surgery, kidnapping, sex club, homelessness, and hostages
Thank you so much DV Fischer for the opportunity to read this book and maybe fall a little bit in love with Dex and his sociopathic tendencies.
Do You Regret It releases on November 3rd!

I got the book as a ARC Reader! Here is my honest review of Do You Regret It?
This was my first time reading D.V. Fischer!
The book kept my attention with its spice, suspense, drama, and dark romance! If you enjoy dark romance with morally questionable characters, spice, and a little bit off the wall-ness…..read this! It was well written, attention grabbing, full of surprises and unexpected feelings!!!! *PLEASE CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING!*
I absolutely LOVE that Pru was not the “typical” FMC. She is a “big girl” and was given that space to shine! I think that was one of my favorite things! And Dex! Whoa! He was dark and unhinged….but that made him a great MMC! The unpredictability and surprising plot twists made this such an interesting book!
I do wish there would have been an Epilogue chapter as well….but that might just be because I hate for books I really enjoy to end! Lol!
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to read this book!

This book is sick and unhinged and I LOVE IT. The scene with the revolver? With the spider? What the hell did I even experience reading this?!? Dex is batsh*t crazy, and he might be my favorite character this author has written. He absolutely stole the show by being a complete sociopath. I kind of want to meet him in real life, but I am also terrified of him. Maybe we could be friends? I feel like if I were a friend of Pru's, we could be friends, haha. There was one particular plot twist in this one that definitely took me by surprise, but the ending served up some justice on a silver platter. I'm really not sure what other words to use to express how I feel about this book, but I deeply enjoyed how morally black it was. The revolver and spider scenes, though. Someone check on our author. Please, haha.

Wow! This story felt like watching or going through a train wreck. It was unrelenting and sooo spicy yet the mystery hit. I was about a third through this book and I felt like it was so predictable but the conclusion to the tale totally snuck up on me, what a twist! Grab this read!
We got to know our local surgeon/ organ remover/sociopath/ hot bad boy Dexter Wolfe. He is unredeemable and hot. So smart and career focused...of course we fall for him via Pru Owens the Cop living her worse day. Prudence is type A, always doing the right thing. She is so smart and confident even if life has been tough on her. Dex sees Pru and instantly is obsessed with her almost tears. Pru is only impressed by his looks but she's totally over everything after having a horrible day.
Thank you DV Fischer for sending me this HOT and crushing read. All opinions are my own.

This book was dark, obsessive, and completely addictive from beginning to end. Pru is strong, determined, and refuses to let anyone define her by her size. Even after losing her job, she continues doing what she does best, finding missing people and proving everyone wrong. I loved how resilient she was and how she never backed down, even when faced with someone as terrifying as Dex. There is absolutely nothing normal about this man. He's possessive, unhinged, dangerous, and a walking red flag after red flag... which somehow made him impossible to look away from. The chemistry between him and Pru was intense from their first meeting, and the push and pull between attraction and fear kept me completely invested. And the suspense. Perfect. This book has it all. D.V. Fischer hasn't disappointed me yet. Her books are so addicting. Thank you, D.V. Fischer, for the ARC.

Dex is a very handsome sociopath who is a surgeon who is an organ handler of the underground but doesn't know who his boss is but knows he is in too deep. Dex and Pru are like magnets and can't stay away from each other she knows what Dex is and is fine with it. But Pru has to get to the bottom of the missing people with a lil help from Dex, who has never lied to her, and he will do anything for Pru and also keeps everything from her too. This is an amazing book it had me hooked from beginning to end.

Alright, I enjoy reading DV Fischer and while this wasn’t my favorite book by her, it was still an okay read. It was a darker read and Dex was intense. I liked premise and how the story progressed. The suspense kept me turning the pages to see how everything would pan out. Some parts of the ending were predictable, but I was still invested in seeing how it all came together.
As I was reading I found myself wanting a bit more depth in the detective work, or maybe just Pru’s thought process? It felt like she was jumping to conclusions without enough explanation or reasoning behind her deductions and every time she did I sat there like ‘Where did she get this idea from??’
Thank you to the author for the advanced opportunity.

Dark, twisted, and completely unhinged! The darkness, intensity, and unpredictability made this one addictive read.
With forbidden love, suspense, drama, and murder, this story kept me wondering what could possibly happen next. His secrets becoming her problem only made everything more intense. If you love your romance dark and your men completely unhinged, this love story will knock your socks off!
Pru is strong, determined, and refuses to let being fired because of her size stop her from finding missing people. I loved her backbone and her determination to prove just how wrong her former boss was.
Then there's Dexter-a sexy sociopath with childhood trauma and some seriously dark secrets.

Do I love D.V. Fischer books? Yes, I do but this book was just so much more and MAN DID I LOVE IT! This boos got gory, smut, possession, and so much more. I'm not going to say much because everything that happened in this book was a shocker that I needed to see for my own. This is about Pru a cop that great at finding missing people getting fired from her job and meeting Dex, let's just say Dex is a surgeon of some sort. I won't say what, but the twisted in this book and there way more than one will shock you so much. I loved this book so much. If you can handle the trigger warning I would read this one.

I received this book as an arc (I’m on DV’s arc team!)
I was blown away with how quick this book sucked me in.
It was like a dark twisted episode of criminal minds meets love story and I was amazed at the spicy details and the details in general.
Dex is such a dark but intriguing character. Pru steadily surprised me with her innocent girl evolving character. So many twists an turns and the ending was just *chefs kiss* to me.
The only thing I didn’t like was the main characters name being Prudence because I instantly thought of an ugly old lady instead of a plus sized bomb shell.
Beyond that, loved this.

This book is a fantastic read for the spooky season. Following an ex-cop and the serial killer who becomes obsessed with her, you can’t deny the chemistry is there. The pacing at times felt a bit rushed for me, but was made up for by the twists that kept me guessing - something refreshing as a reader that tries to guess everything that happens far before it happens. I also very much enjoyed the full figured FMC. Definitely a must read for those who love a morally black MMC who would kill for the thing that matters most for him.

Review of ARC ✨
I have no words, this book was soooo good! Probably one of the best arcs I've read this fall 🖤 I couldn't put it down and finished it in less than a day. Dex is absolutely crazy and I love that about him 🤭 Pru is also an FMC I can both relate to and look up to, I love that combination.
I tend to use a bit of time to get into new books, but this one had me from the first chapter (rare for me).
The writing is great, you forget you're reading and just flow through the pages. And the plot twist? Oh my.. 👏🏻
Highly recommend this one if you love this genre! 🖤
