This book made me angry and I am going to rant a bit, so beware of major spoilers below. Also, the title and blurb are misleading and it should also come with some major trigger warnings.
The first part, Taken, was ok, but the heroine has sex with her stepbrother and then he actually lets her marry somebody else a few days later because it's what's best for the family business. While she doesn't have sex with her husband and there is a HFN with the stepbrother, his behavior is not characteristic of the possessive hero I was expecting from the title and I was very disappointed as a result.
I continued on to the second part, Devilish, and it was like watching a horrible catastrophe unfold and being unable to look away. This story starts out with a detailed scene where the heroine's family is murdered, including she and her mother who are also violently raped and beaten prior to being killed. The heroine is waylaid by a demon before she makes it to Heaven and the demon offers her the chance to avenge the murders at the cost of her soul. She agrees. The demon promises to help her in her quest for vengeance, and he is there embodied as her stepbrother although she knows it's not her real stepbrother who was also murdered. There is a decent mystery as they ferret out who ordered the murders, and somewhat of a romance between the step siblings, but once the deaths are avenged, the demon takes her soul and she fades to nothing. There is no HEA and it was all pointless. And oh yeah, we get to relive part of the rape again through a vivid dream the heroine has in her pursuit of vengeance. Ugh!!!!
I started on the third book, but it opens with the hero having unprotected sex with a submissive who is not the heroine and we are privy to his blatant thoughts about it and I simply cannot read anymore. These heroes are not at all what the reader is expecting from the title and blurb and I refuse to be further disappointed by reading any more.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This book was a fairly enjoyable short read. I would have preferred if the story had been lengthened to better develop the relationship. Also, there were a lot of gramatical errors. Overall, not bad.
