Sublime Vanity

by Dana Arden

Sadie

I crave attention. It’s not frowned upon to want someone’s love and affection, but it is when you know that you’ll never return the same for another person. He loved me every day for nine years. He gave me everything I asked for. His affection was only for me. But when he wanted a stable position in our relationship, I couldn’t give it because there were some many others that could offer the same. I didn’t want to settle. Or at least I didn’t think I did until I learned he was getting married.

How do you trap a man that’s loved you for years even if he’s about to say ‘I do?’ You come back into his life pregnant and make sure he believes wholeheartedly that the baby is his. He’ll believe it because he always thought we were exclusive. What he doesn’t know is that he was the only one that was.

What I didn’t expect was for one of my indiscretions to make an appearance. But I can handle him just like I did the week I spent with him in Louisiana.

I’m good at getting what I want. I’ve been using people since I was a teenager. Just ask my father. Watch me get the one person I know without a doubt who will jump through hoops for me. Watch him leave his fiance for me. Watch her fall from grace as I take the one person away from her she’s always wanted.

This is a standalone book, but to better understand some of the situations you should read the previous books in the series. This book is meant for an audience 18 and older. There are some scenes that may not be suitable for some readers.

This book picks up where we left off in Limitless Torment. Raz and Trigger are exchanging vows when the wedding is interrupted by none other than Sadie! Yes, Sadie...as in Trigger's ex who upped and left several months ago. Well she's back and supposedly pregnant with Trigger's baby. Of course Raz quickly throws some doubt on that notion by calling several MC brothers who also slept with Sadie before she left. We see a side of Sadie that did not show in previous books. She is manipulative and an all-out beeotch! Will she be able to work her wiles and get her claws in Trigger once more or has he wisened up? Raz decides that she's had enough of Sadie and Trigger. She hands over a file that she's compiled over the years on Sadie and her shenanigans and decides that it's time for Trigger to man up and clean up his 'Sadie mess'. When Raz takes the kids that she's adopting and moves, temporarily to FL, will Sadie leave her alone and try to regain Trigger's trust or will she eliminate Raz from the equation once and for all? This is another action packed story that keeps you guessing & keeps your blood pressure high...lol. The ending will blow you away. Really enjoyed this series and moving on to the spin-off series 'Pretty Pink MC' next!

Picking up right where book 4 leaves off, we are treated to Sadie's story! Sadie interrupts Trigger and Razz's wedding with a bombshell of an announcement. From there we learn of the this trio's history, and the incredible story of Sadie. I really tried to like her, in the previous books she seemed to be a fairly decent woman. But now with the truth released, and actions taken, it is obvious the deceit she has brought to the MC and the evilness she embodies. I love Razz, she is such a strong woman, fiercely protective of those she loves and will stop at nothing to keep them safe. And Trigger, along with the others in the MC are the kind of men you want watching out for you. Together, along with Dani, Riker, Spook, Greer, Lily, Chase, Rudy and Queenie we feel the connection of real love and family as they congregate to find their peace and happiness. Loved this culmination of this part of the story. With continued narration by Matt Standley, his southern accent has become this motorcycle club, bringing it to life through think and thin.

A standalone but I recommend reading the previous to get the whole background.
Entertaining, romantic, dramatic, spicy and sexy story with a twist. I like the storyline and the plot.
I like it are written in dual POV, which gives the reader both the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. That makes the story even more emotional and captivating. The twists and turns are unexpected. Sadie is not my type because of her behavior and cheating. She betrayed Trigger and he did all for her. Can she get him back? Or does he out her betrayal?

Story flowed well of the pages. Steamy chemistry and passionate. Very captivating because of the well described characters and writing style. The story that is of a nice length.

A great conclusion to Jazz and Trigger's story started in the previous book. This book was very emotional but also very funny. Great writing. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of them since this author does a great job of including characters from previous books in each book of the series. At least in these two books she did. I just found this author and will make an effort to read more of these amazing worlds she has created. I'm looking forward to reading Bellamy's story. I hope to read Dani, Lily and Greer's stories soon.

She always gets what she wants when she wants including men. She had only to click her fingers and they come running. She has just learnt one was getting married and she wanted him so she takes the fact that the be by she is carrying is his. He leaves his fiancee and goes back to her. Will he end up regretting it? Will she come unstuck at last? See how it will end

Action packed! This is the fifth book in the Southern Chaotic's MC Series. This story starts where the last book ended. This is Sadie, Trigger and Razz's story. I love Trigger and Razz and I love to hate Sadie. This story is action packed. I like to see the other characters from the previous books. The narration was good and easy to listen. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Oh my, this is the second part to Limitless Torment and it was amazing. Sadie continues hervtormdnt on Trigger and Read, but the Chaotics are there as always to help.

There's danger, intrigue, passion, sex and raw emotions. This book takes you in a rollercoaster of life in the book but it's definitely one not to miss. A fabulous book x

[Rhonda Hicks · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has been one huge rollercoaster ride of crazy!! If you've been reading the series then you know Dana Arden's characters have latched on and have no intention of letting go until the story plays out. What an incredible ending to the cliff hanger we were given previously. It was well worth it.

I hated that Sadie as crazy. I had liked her in the other books prior to Trigger's. My only thought was --why didn't they get the doctor/nurse friend to do a pregnancy test or ultrasound? Why on earth would you believe that one thing she says when everything else was nothing but lies?

5 Stars
First time reading this author, and burned through the series. LOVED the story and fell in love with all the characters. Typos and spelling did detract from the stories quite a bit, but I couldn’t bring myself to give less than 5 Stars. Can’t wait for the next book.

[Book-Lovin-Momma · Rating 4 out of 5]

Razz is fed up with Sadie, and we all know where she's headed with this one, although there are still plenty of twists that make you want to scream at them. I loved Razz in this book and how she stepped up her game. Trigger didn't hit me the same way, although I was glad for the way it ended.

Trigger

Well the big blow up with Sadie is over. Who knew she was such a cum dumpster . quite a twist in the end and I am glad Sadie got what she deserves in the end and I feel so sorry for lyla. Excellent book but I still think Trigger is a bit of a wuss .

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Melissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I absolutely loved the continuation of Trigger and Razz’s story. It all came together beautifully and the drama was in abundance!! A great addition to a good series

[B Butterfield · Rating 1 out of 5]

[Sandra R · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read

I have to say the books keep getting better and better. Can not wait to see what the next book is about. Please keep them coming.

[Emma bramley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the fifth book in this series and carries on from book 4 "Limitless torment". The plot flows really well and keeps you hooked until the last page. Same amazing characters as the book before. I'm definitely going to read the previous ones in this series. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended
