Still a Bad Boy #3
The F King
If I do my job, I’ll lose the only man I ever loved.
Sarina
I was always so focused on my career that I never had time for a relationship until it was my job to have one. I was supposed to “gain his trust,” but I doubt they meant I should let him take me to bed.
Instead of showing me where he gets his supply of F, he shows me what it’s like to writhe in ecstasy as I scream his name. Instead of giving me the identity of the drug lord known as The F King, he gives me climax after climax.
My world now revolves around him so much that I can’t tell which life is a lie anymore. I was an undercover cop. What am I now?
Ryan
I thought Sarina might be a cop until I carried her into my bed and discovered she’d never been with a man before me. A cop wouldn’t do that, and they damned sure wouldn't beg for more.
I wanted to destroy the Acardi Crime Family and build my own empire on the ruins. After all, I’m The F King, and a king needs a kingdom.
Sarina though… she makes me question my priorities. All that money and power is within my grasp, but the only thing I can think of is shaking Sarina one more time, tasting her, hearing my name on her lips.
If anything ever happened to her, to us, things might get really F'd.

Erotic Crime Novel
Sarina💋⭐🔍 is a government agent secretly implanted into a college to catch Ryan Crewe🐺🍆🌋💊, the manufacturer of a new recreational drug💊 called F. However, her Commanding Officer thinks Ryan is a low level drug pusher💊!
She is at a local bar🍸 with a group of newly enrolled female students looking for Ryan. While there, she applies for a bartending job, thinking it would help her identify drug dealers💊 inside the bar and also help her get information from patrons.
Ryan🐺🍆🌋 is a chic magnet, tall, dark, ripped💪, tatted ⭐⭐and classically handsome. It is like the world🌍 stands still when he enters the 🍸bar with a few friends and is shown to a reserved table.

Ryan🐺🍆🌋 thinks he's God's Gift to Women, and he attempts to put the moves on Sarina💋🔍 out on the dance floor. She is acting very innocent, which is really turning him on. Her job is to find out about the money and sales of F, not into his bed!

Well I can say I liked Ryan much better than Jace from the first book of Still a Bad Boy Series. Ryan was not as much of a jerk as both Jace and Austin. I struggled with Sarina, I just did not get her. There was suspense that kept me turning the pages. I just did not feel that Ada Scott did her job in making both characters believable, in my opinion that is the job of the author. The ending was very rushed, but it helped that there was a bonus chapters. I just felt with all the lies things were not explored for my satisfaction. I read this in The Innocence for Sale: Bree which I got on Kindle Unlimited.

This book had lots of potential but the ending was rushed and didn't buy the females characters complete 180 personality change at the end. Felt she would wake up one day and realise what a horrible mistake she made trusting him and betraying herself and would walk out.
I also found they find out who each other has been lying to the other then says 'ok' without meeting up with one another, talking or getting to know one another. Felt forced and unfinished.

Really enjoyed this, loved both main characters but if I'm really honest it finished a bit too quick! Needed an epilogue

This story has everything that you want- bad boys, passion, adventure , suspense, lies, secrets, intrigue angst, …oh its everything you would want to read about in your romance. The F King is Ryan and Sarina’ story--Ryan is a criminal who is pretty well known and he goes up against the mafia and the other criminals in the city with the mind he has and the product he makes while Sarina is an undercover cop sent in to bring him down except she didn’t expect to fall in love with him.
So these two end up falling for one another and its hard because they fight it-hard. They didn’t expect to fall in love ,especially since they are on the other side of the spectrum. There love story is unique because there are reasons for why they are doing the things each are doing. Why Ryan is a criminal and why Sarina is a cop that is undercover. There are many twists and turns to this suspenseful, at times -anticlimactic story that is full of earthy passion. Oh and the romance that is tied in to the intrigue and suspense, that will grab you. The players in the story are great , the story flows and everything plays out and makes sense, even the actions make sense 95 % of the way until the very end …that is where I am kind of at a loss…the ending felt incomplete. The ending was like a cliffhanger and so sad yet feels like there could be a book 2 for the F King. Ryan and Sarina make a great couple and their actions are understandable but the last about 5 % is a bit confusing so I hope there is some continuation, a second book for this couple. Overall, this is a good romantic suspense story which I definitely do recommend.
My rating: 4.4 stars ****

This bad boy romance is packed with all kinds of heat. What a powerful plot! I loved it.
First of all, the couple is strong and deeply motivated. They have machinations of their own and they collide full front. Ryan is a criminal, he runs a lab and plans to put his chemistry knowledge as well as his devious mind to very good use against the mafia empire in the city. On the other hand, Sarine is an undercover cop who is in charge of bringing down whoever the drug F king is.
That's a hell of a conundrum, especially when they fall in love. I relished reading this story because of many aspects. The writing is strong and it shows both characters' minds as the fully developed people they are. They have understandable reasons for their actions, both the criminal acts and the betrayal. I felt for both of them.
Then, the romance and the suspense plot really combine to the letter. While they embark on this forbidden romance full of lust, longing and truly exhilarating intimate scenes, there is this other side of drugs, violence, thugs, Machiavellian plans and smart plotting.
Ryan is a lovable bad boy. He's tough but also cares for his family. And he's as sensually provocative as he needs to be. The first time he and Sarine are together, and the scene at that original restaurant are absolutely unforgettable!
The final part is pure adrenaline. It blows the mind with all that violence, shattered dreams, truth exposed and fated commitment. I was very sad with some of the events going on, and the last page felt harsh and abrupt, yet it's also impressive, very impressive. This series is amazing.

I received this for a honest review.
Sabrina was undercover. She was suppose to be pretending to be a student a college. She was to try to get close to a drug dealer by the name of Ryan Crewe. She was excited about her first undercover case and did not want to blow it.
Ryan was more then he seemed. He was highly smart and truly did not want to do what he did. He was one that was doing what he must to get by. There was more to his story then just selling drugs for the mafia. Sorry you will have to read the book to find out what more there was to him.
Sabrina catches Ryan’s eye. He finds himself wanted to get in her pants. Sabrina will find that working undercover will be harder then it seems. She is falling for the enemy. Ryan has never felt this way about anyone before.
Sabrina see the good in Ryan. The question is when Ryan finds out her secret how will he take it. This is a story full of love and danger. Will Ryan and Sabrina be able to survive the danger that they must face?

I swear this author's books get better and better with each and every one she writes! The F King was a seriously erotic book with very steamy nuclear hot scenes nearly pornographic in detail! Forget panty melting they were wall scorching, bed burning hot! The panties never showed up for this book. Sarina is an undercover cop trying to find someone to root out the F King. She finds a guy known to deal F, a drug selling like hotcakes, and tries to woo him. When these two first meet their worlds shift and should and should not become a blurred line real fast.
This book will heat up a room fast and keep the reader reading. The plot was fun and energetic. It keeps the reader riveted, not sure how it could possibly play out right. I can NOT wait for another book! I love this series and can't wait to see where it is going from here. I highly recommend this book to any who love some serious heat to their books and a real bad boy in their heroines bed.

Sarina is undercover to take down the drug dealer known as the F King. Ryan is the F King, and he takes one look at Sarina and decides he wants her, at least for one night of fun. As the two of them begin a relationship, Sarina suspects that Ryan has some involvement with the distribution of the drug, and Ryan has no idea that Sarina is a cop. Ryan has fallen for Sarina and wants a long term relationship with her, but knows he will have to bring down the Arcadi family before they can be safe. Sarina is in love with Ryan and is hoping he will lead her to the person responsible for the manufacture and distribution of F. Neither of them expect to be attacked by the Arcadi family and then saved by Jace Barlow. Wow, fantastic book with sexy new characters, I loved Sarina and Ryan, and the reappearance of favorite characters from previous books. Exciting and fascinating twists in the plot, loved this book!

I received this book free for an honest review. I love Ada Scott books. Her books always contain strong male leads and strong female leads. This book is the last in a mob book series. Ryan is a drug dealer trying to take down the mob and Sarina is an undercover cop sent to identify a drug dealing kingpin. Sparks fly and Sarina gets in over her head. Ryan falls in love with Sarina who also loves Ryan. Things go south in Ryan's fight with the mob and times get tough. The mob and Ryan find out that Satina is an undercover cop and Sarina stands to lose the only man she loves. The story is full of danger and chemistry and an uncanny love story between a criminal and a cop. Did I forget to mention the steamy sec scenes?!?! I highly recommend this book. I loved reading their story.

I have devoured the Still A Bad Boy Series, and will continue as long as Ada Scott keeps giving me more bad a*s alpha sweethearts paired with equally bad a*s females who take no prisoners. In #3, you have Ryan and Sarina, unexpectedly find a sinfully sweet romance chock full of their own secrets, threatening to unravel the relationship. These scenes will set fire to your kindle, and give you warm fuzzies, even though you're well aware of the forboding reveal of who they truly are, and fully expect it to end badly.
Does it end badly? Not telling, but I will tell you that you will be led through twists and turns, meeting some old, familiar friends along the way, and cheering for how it did end!

This was an entertaining book. I found some of the interactions to be a little unbelievable for me, which is why I am rating this a little lower. I can suspend belief with the best of them, but some the story just didn't seem plausible to me. Sarina, was the character I had the hardest time wrapping my head around. She just seemed to contradict her character, I guess that's the best way to explain it. However, with that being said...I did find the book entertaining and it was a good read. I have read all the series and if you like them, you will like this book too...I good read. 3 stars.

Side Note :
The book didn't interest me much, I would give it an overall 2.5 stars. The saving grace from me rating it a one star was the sex scenes and overall sexual chemistry was soooo good. Other than that, I kept stopping myself from skimming til the end of it.
- The way he craved me, yet controlled me, made me feel like some kind of a dirty princess.

Exciting, suspenseful, mysterious, and hot. I liked it. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. I didn't much like the ending as it left me hanging sort of. But that was the only thing I didn't like. I loved the rest as it was exciting. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really like this series. I and kindle unlimited and this was free but I actually liked it to the point where a bought it as I would probably re read at some point. 200pgs east for me to get thru in one sitting. This book which is # 2 actually had book 2 and 2.5 as a bonus so the 99cents totally worth it. Book 2 is also about 200 pages. Good deal

My first Ada Scott book. I really liked the plot and I enjoyed the book overall. The characters were great and the writing was good too. The ending was too short for my taste though. Otherwise. This was a start (or a third) to a great series.

Drug dealer vs undercover cop = a whole lot of sex
The beginning was good, yet unbelievable. The middle was good and exciting and then the ending fell flat, for me.
