Depravity🍆🌋🔪🔫 Lives!

And Don't Call Me Honey🐝!
The cruel, depraved things that some men are capable of don't phase Liam🐺🍆🌋🔪🔫, former British Special Forces, until he sees Nick👹, a man he is being paid to spy on, use a prostitute to humiliate his wife, Abigail💃. It's clearly Not consensual. The wife is forced to walk in on her wealthy husband, Nick👹, and the prostitute in the act. Apparently he humiliates her every week in the same way, then he knocks her around. Nick👹 is a wealthy guy from old British 💰money, but he is also involved in some criminal enterprises. Looks like he gets his kicks that sick way.
The PI and Protection agency that Liam🐺🔪🔫 owns, believe Nick👹 is involved in 💰money laundering.
Liam🐺🍆🌋👋🔪🔫 has his own perversions, but he acts them out at BDSM👋 sex clubs with willing participants. He wants to have and protect Abigail! He also fights👊 in underground fight clubs. He has his own demons👿!
Yeah! Liam🐺🍆🌋👋 is a baaaad naaasssty sex toy bad boy in his own right.........

With Nick👹 going to Vegas for a few days, Abigail💃 packs her stuff and splits, using a burner phone and not telling anyone where she's going. Because he's spying on the interior of the apartment with high tech cameras, Liam🐺🍆🌋👋 figures it out. He follows......

The chase🐺 is on!

ARC Received for a Voluntary and Honest Review.
I also got this book📑 with KU.

This such an interesting book📑, with the Author taking us to some different and unusual places. I enjoyed all of it, even though the descriptions of Liam🐺🔪🔫 were somewhat vague at times. He seemed a very private and elusive figure.
The book📑 is told in dual points of view. It's definitely adults only 📚reading!

Abigail💃💋 is married👰 when she begins her 💘love affair with Liam. Liam🐺🍆🌋👋 has also had consensual sex with married women👰 at the BDSM club. If that bothers you, I would not read the book📑.

I received this book by the author for an honest review.
I commend this author for her imagination, for putting herself out there by writing this book and for the effort it took to write and publish.
However I hated the heroine in this book!! In the beginning I cheered her strength and perseverance on. But throughout the book she not only judged so many others for similar things she did but judged and convicted them for it. She did not deserve the guidance and love Liam gave her. In the end what he did by walking away was the right thing to do, Because of where her life, mental status and emotions where. But because of her character did she step back and see that once this was all over was the right thing to do, no!!! It was just poor me, again I'm always the one wronged, I'm the only one that matters!!! Ugh I hated her sooo much!!! Did she have reason to be scared and cautious because of the mental and physical abuse? Yes, yes she did! But she also had the strength to leave said abuse but that was the extent of her being strong. The rest of the book she blames Liam for everything else and doesn't take responsibility for her own actions in this relationship! I hate weak minded, weak immature women characters! Because of her I hated this story even though it has a decent plot and secondary characters that I would have loved to learn more about. Hard pass on weak minded, willed and judgemental female lead!

I am so so so so loving this Raw Heroes series and this one with Liam, the stone cold man we have met before gets his own story. He’s on an assignment to watch a man, Nick, who has a wife, Abigail, who he uses and abuses. Liam notices her the first time he spots her on surveillance and a surge of protectiveness goes through him, a foreign concept since he doesn’t do emotions and considers himself a shell of a man. But he sees in Abi what he sees in himself and decides when she runs he’s going to do everything in his power to protect and watch over her. The story that follows is not one to be missed.
A story with some suspense, action, abuse, heartache, heartbreak, two “broken” people, lust/love and steamy scenes along with some tender loving ones. There were times I wanted to shake both of them, but I really wanted to knock some sense into Liam almost hating him for what he did....wow...the author really pulled those feelings from me but also loving what he did as I understood why he did what he did, even getting my eyes misty at times. Abi was a strong woman even if she didn’t realize it and what she does at the end for herself and others, proves she’s stronger than she thinks. I loved the fact that Liam was not a man wh*** and I also liked the fact we learn about Abi’s marriage and her intimacy with Nick. Even though there were many times I wanted to hurl my iPad at the wall because of their stubbornness and pride, I couldn’t put it down and I loved every page. Hopefully Reese’s story will be next !!

Almost...

I was disappointed in books one and two of this series due to the sluttiness or former sluttiness of the male main characters. It was implied in those books that Liam was not promiscuous. The mentions of the high end sex club and then Jill's presence ruined this book for me. There wasn't exactly outside the relationship sex in this one like the first, but there was stuff that shouldn't have been there - both sexual acts of some kind and mentions of the sex club activities and of sex with Jill, like her being good in the sack, and talking about the looks of her and her curves and of being a swinger and such. He's not actually a swinger, he just sleeps with married women at a sex club. It's not the same thing. He keeps trying to get across in his narrative and to other people, like Jill, that he rarely has sex, he's not into casual sex, and he's not a player. He has sex with random women at a sex club every few months and sometimes has sex with Jill. How is that not casual sex? Maybe he's not technically a player, but he makes himself out to be almost innocent of casual sex, and he's really really not. In order for this to be a romance, he should not have slept with or lusted after or described looks or sex with anyone but Abi.

Gritty and Tense with Amazing Romance!!

Abigail is married to a controlling man Nick who has gotten himself involved with some dangerous people. She has put up with his abuse, but when her small dog Boo is in danger she finds the courage to run. Liam is part of the security team who is watching Nick to get evidence. When he sees Abi prepare to run he decides to follow her and ensure her safety.

When things get personal between them, then danger escalates how can he explain who he is, why she must run again, and why she must trust him to keep her safe!!

Two wounded souls find each other under tough circumstances. Great development of the characters and the story. Will keep you on the edge of your seat and feeling the emotions in this sterling read!!

The Raw series each stand-alone, but I recommend you read them all!!

Fast: Raw Heroes Book 3 by S R Jones
Liam is watching Nick Madison, he is on a job. He sees Nick’s wife Abigail come home. Abigail is an abused wife with no life, Nick has taken everything Abigail loved and made her a prisoner in they’re home. She decides to leave Nick and start a new life. When Liam sees her packing, he also sees her copy files off Nick’s computer. Nick knows she is gone and copied the files so he is sending people to find her and Liam is followed her. This is a story about a woman being abused so some may not want to read this story but I found it very interesting. I also found it was more about Abigail getting her worth back as a woman and as a human being. It made me feel as a woman, we can move on from things in our own lives and become stronger. I wish I could give this a higher rating them only a five.

Liam and Abi ❤❤

My heart broke for Abi at the start of this book, she is married to a narcissistic crook who deserved so much more than he got for payment. She finally escapes and tries to start over, but unbeknownst to her, her husband Nick is already under surveillance. Liam, one of the men keeping watch, is instantly drawn to the young broken image he sees. When Abi grabs her dog and runs, he follows... but the connection and growing possessive feelings Liam has for Abi, staying an arms length away in the shadows isn't going to last long. What happens when her dirty husband tracks het down? What about when she learns why Liam is truly around? This is a wonderful addicting story! ❤

Liam can be my hero any day!

What a powerful story. Its dark, and light. It's sweet and sorrowful. Its happy and sad. Its so emotional and full of love. I couldnt put this book down. I couldn't believe the things Abi went through with Nick. Liam is big, strong, dominant and protective. He is everything Abi needs. Their story full of suspense, pain and love. She wont put Liam and his friend's in harm's way. Liam cant let her go but tries because he believes it's what she needs. I am so glad I made it through this one and got the happy ending I wanted. I cant wait to read the next book. Hope Reese finds love too.

This was a really good fast paced story! I like the story-line and characters. Liam has been hired to keep Nick under surveillance. Once, Liam sees the lovely Abi he immediately becomes protective of her. Abi is married to a complete piece of garbage; Nick. Nick is an abusive sick person who torments, degrades and beats Abi. I really enjoyed this action packed, dark, suspenseful story. Liam was a wonderful man and was perfect for Abi. They have both dealt with some sick people in their past so finding each other is a gift. I love how he is instantly protective of her.

This is book three in the Raw Heroes Series and is a dark romance. A world of humiliation, sex clubs, BDSM, prostitutes, an abusive husband, crime, money laundering, private eyes and so much more. This book is fast paced and full of action. Suspenseful and drama filled. Liam is a private eye who doesn't do relationships until he sees Abi being abused. Something calls out to him and he feels that he must protect her. Well written and full of emotion, this book will grab your heart. I read a reader copy and voluntarily chose to write a review.

Liam’s on the job when he spots Abigail Madison for the first time. He feels an instant connection so when she prepares to run, he knows he’s going to follow to keep her safe. There’s enough captivating drama and action to keep you engaged from beginning to end. The emotion level is high and the entertainment value even higher. It’s an exciting and involving tale, filled with intense feelings, touches of violence and extreme emotional distress, and moments of steamy passion. It’s a story and series that you don’t want to miss.

Liam and Abi

Beaten down by her controlling cruel husband, Abi decides to make an escape when he goes out of town. Liam, one of the men assigned to do surveillance on her husbands illegal activities, decides to follow her. He befriends her and begins to fall for her. Unfortunately not only os her husband still looking for her but also some of the Russian mob, bounty hunters and other mean characters. Crossover characters from the first two books of the series as well as another character Andrius from the Bratva Vows Series.

This dark,dangerous, intense, romance will capture your heart in so many ways. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Liam and Abi are two tortured souls that finally find peace. But will it be together?
This is a really fantastic story. Especially if you love big overprotective hot guys that fight hard for what they believe in and love even harder.

Fast is Liam and Abi’s story in the Raw Heroes Series. She is a battered wife who attempts to run away from her abusive husband. Liam is assigned to keep tabs on Abi’s husband, but when she flees, he makes it his mission to make sure she is ok. While I found solace in the ending, I felt a good share of frustration throughout the story. The characters are good, dysfunctional in ways, definitely flawed and hopeful too. An overall good story. 3.75 stars.

How could anyone give this book anything but five stars? Yes, it was emotional and dealt with a subject that many women have faced (including me). It makes me sad and mad that women are subjected to such cruelty. The story-line was top notch and the characters are hard to forget after you finish reading it. I absolutely loved this book! I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book!

A well written romance. Nice storyline and plot. Likeable characters that are well described and develops nicely. They have an amazing chemistry.
The topic of domestic violence is well described and is not over the top. It makes you think a lot. It was a different theme and I loved this about the story.
Absolutely a must read!

A dark romance that involves two people who are so different yet the same. Can two people who have been hurt, alone and have overcome so much heal the other? Are they good for each other? Sometimes you never know till you take that one hesitant step to see if you can find that piece of you missing.

I did not read the previous two books yet, but plan on it. I really like the group of guys in this story, and their bond. I enjoyed reading this book. It was quick paced and full of action. Both characters had a complexity to them that added to their dynamic. I felt a wide range of emotions as I read this book. I really do like Liam.

I love this series even though Liam made me want to slap him upside his head several times. The plot was good and interesting. I was hooked from the very beginning. I loved the characters. The connection was there and both characters were easily relatable. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Moving, dramatic, and ends on a happy note. Overall quality of writing was good. Characters and plot were well thought out and kept the attention from first to last page. Would have liked to see more once Abigail and Liam reconnected before jumping into the epilogue.
