Vicious Men: The Complete Vicious City Collection
Read all four books in the Amazon bestselling Vicious City Dark Romance series!
Kitty
I had one rule: Don't. Get. Caught.
I've just broken it.
And I've been more than just caught. I've been taken.
Maybe that's not big news. A hundred girls get taken every damn day.
But not by this guy.
Vicious is an English master criminal with a dominance complex.
He doesn't take 'no' well.
He doesn't take it at all.
He's going to make me say yes.
He's going to make me damn well scream it.
Vicious
Kitty's crossed the wrong people, and now her life is in danger.
I can save her, but I'm no hero.
She'll pay her dues.
Obey my rules.
If she's a good Kitty, she'll be well compensated.
If she's a bad Kitty, my bed awaits.
This city rewards the strong, punishes the weak, and destroys the innocent.
So do I.

Vicious is not a good man. And for some reason he has his eyes on Kitty.
She is just a courier and she doesn't understand what Vicious wants from her.
This story was well written and very interesting.
The whole series was phenomenal and highly recommended!

I can't imagine anyone not having read this dark and thrilling series but if you're reading this review trying to determine whether or not you want to be part of something phenomenal, then, by all means, jump in and experience every dark, twisted, masterful word that Loki Renard will use to pull your emotions to the forefront.
This collection includes:
Vicious Looks
Kitty is a courier. Discreet, talented, highly paid, illegal courier. She'd very careful, never uses the same name, route, or mode of transportation more than once before changing them. Not that it did her any good since she was kidnapped.
Vicious is on the FBI most wanted. That's his street moniker, not his name. Known to be a ruthless killer, he's feared by almost everyone, although, Kitty's best friend thinks he's sexy and would love to have him for a client. He's been watching her. He knows her better than she even knows herself. He's waited long enough. It's time to bring her in before someone , other than himself, kills her.
First off, know going into this, there is a cliff hanger. From beginning to end, Loki Renard has created a storyline in the underworld of mystery and adventure. The characters show a full range of emotions, including the sexual chemistry between them. Almost as if they knew each other personally, yet not.
There are many unanswered questions in this first book of the "Vicious City" series. Ones that became more pronounced the further I read. They were at least acknowledged at the end of the book by an epilogue signed by Vicious. Quite a unique and unexpected twist. It felt like we had been a part of the story all along and in the end, Vicious took the time to recognize we were there. Waiting. What a terrific first book that appears to be an outstanding series
Vicious Lies
Just when I thought I sort of knew what was going on, Loki Renard gave me a quick right turn and had me questioning what I thought I knew. This is a dark story with a strong plot that twists and turns. The characters come across as real with all the dialogue, actions, and emotions of someone you know or can relate to. There are still unanswered questions I'm dying to find out the answers to. And once again, Vicious has taken a personal interest in the readers and addressed us personally.
Vicious Loves
First off, let me say if you're just reading reviews to see whether or not you want to read this book, do yourself a favor and read them in order: .50) Vicious Tease 1) Vicious Looks 2) Vicious Lies and then this one, 3) Vicious Loves. The dynamics between Vicious and Kitty are just explosive. One of those that have a sexual chemistry so strong you can feel it in the air like static electricity. Lies are told, truths are found out. The twists and turns that involve these two are enough to boggle the imagination. Blaze, Kitty's BFF learns a truth and takes it upon herself to tell Kitty. But when she takes action to do so, Vicious has inserted himself into the conversation forcing Blaze to make a decision; tell Kitty what she knows and if Kitty doesn't believe her, she's lost their friendship or keep what she knows to herself and let it play out knowing she'll be there to pick up the pieces when/if Kitty needs her. This dark romance only seems to get better with each book and this one is a journey you don't want to miss.
Vicious Revenge
This has to be one of the most twisted revenge plots I've read. Kitty has the inner brat in her and she's tired of being lied to. Her game of revenge on Vicious could come with consequences she's not ready for. And is Vicious ready for what he's brought about? As this cat and mouse games between Kitty and Vicious continues, Loki Renard expressed it in such a way I could actually picture the mental thoughts going through these characters minds and at certain points even mentally giggled over the ingenious of the plan. A great read, a terrific series, and a perfect ending. I feel almost as satisfied finishing this tale as I'm sure the characters did enacting it. Thank you and Congratulations Loki.

Incredible!!!
Vicious
Delish!
Vicious and Kitty are both part of the criminal world but on totally different levels. This also describes their personal relationship, he is definitly at the top of his empire and he is bringing her into his world in a deeper and darker way, Kitty was used to being a fringe player and had no idea the danger she was in on many fronts. The dance for power and the chemistry between the two are a real pleasure to read! Add in the danger, intrigue, suspense, great supporting characters and a fantastic story and Ms. renard hits another level of perfection!
Vicious Lies
Give me a V, give me an I, give me....dammit just give me Vicious!
Love me some Vicious! Even though I want to smack him upside of the head occasionally!
We get to see how Kitty and Vicious's relationship grows, and maybe not in the same way as love is usually seen.
Vicious takes care of her in his own unique way that includes, makeovers, mayhem, murder and manipulation! Kitty is still poking the tiger and paying the price but she is slowly seeing the light as to her true situation!
There is a lot more story for Blaze and Slick in this 2nd book and how their relationship is developing. I have a feeling Blaze has bitten off more than she can chew and Slick will be the one doing the biting!
Add in some comic relief and a great character with Coco, twists, turns and a ton of sexy, steamy, discipline scenes and ..........yum!
Vicious Loves
Yes!, yes!, yes!
Well BOOM!
A lot of secrets come to light in this installment of the series! The magic shimmers and the illusions are are starting to drop, secrets are revealed and relationships change in big ways!
Loyalties and relationships are questioned when events force them to make choices that effect them all. The layer of sensual mesmirism that Vicious has kept Kitty in will crack with disastrous results, one moment of rebellion may cost them everything!
Slick and Blaze as usual are a treat as usual, their are drastic changes are ahead for thier relationship and new beginnings. A deadly threat from the past comes to seek their revenge and get their pound of flesh!
There is still a ton of heat and chemistry in this story which is more than matched by the level of danger, intrigue and revelations!
An excellent edition to the series!
Vicious Revenge
Revenge is best served...........
What a fabulous ending to Vicious and Kitty's story!
Kitty is feeling revengeful towards Vicious as she learns about his tricks and lies, and so begins a twisted little game of the Kitty hunting her man.
More devious than she has appeared to be before she tries to drag Blaze into her schemes. But Blaze has issues of her own and has finally grown up enough to stay out of it as much as possible! Which is smart considering who she goes to for comfort and advice.
Kitty embarks on her mastermind plan to bring Vicious to heel, very creatively, to the point that at one time I thought she'd lost her marbles.......
While Vicious feels her claws, her actions bring her to the notice of three other predators, two of which make Vicious almost look like a boyscout!
As Vicious sees to damage control and Kitty tries to get out of shark infested waters, they know they have a reckoning coming! One that will decide their fate as a couple!
Slick and Blaze have issues that they must also surmount in order to have a future.
The epilogue was fantastic as well, a nice little update on our twisted quartet!
This story pulled my emotions all over the place, I so love reading about these characters but letting go is bittersweet.
Maybe down the road we can convince Ms. Renard to give us a glimpse of them again.........
As always this story delivers on heat, chemistry, action, fantastic flawed characters, intriguing story lines, spankings, lust and love! 10 stars!

Vicious Looks
This story is dark, devious, delicious and intense. Kitty believes she is working on the fringes of the law. She might be mistaken. Vicious is a hot, sexy, authoritative, dominant man who abducts Kitty for his own purposes. He insists she must work for him as a personal courier. She fights him every step of the way, and easily earns several stern punishments and even a bit of pleasure. Eventually, she discovers the personal danger she really is in. Now, working with Vicious may be the best and only way to survive.
Vicious Lies
Although Kitty has agreed to work for Vicious and to allow him to protect her, she still manages to fight and annoy him into strong disciplinary measures. He takes her to meet with CoCo, a lively character, who will work with Kitty to help her change her appearance. There are a number of dark twists and turns in this book that leave me wanting more.
Vicious Loves
Oh My Gosh! What an amazing concoction of twists and turns. I had absolutely no idea what would happen next. Will Kitty be saved? Will she be used? Will she possibly be loved? Is the tough guy good? How about the business man offering ice cream? Can Blaze help her? What will happen to Blaze and Slick? Are the Russians still a problem? What can possibly happen next?
Vicious Revenge
This book just blew my mind. At first I thought the story ended with the previous book, but then revenge took over. WOW! I am impressed by each and every character and a few I did not expect. Oh, Loki, you knew exactly how to work Kitty and Vicious into moves that were totally awe inspiring. I could just not stop reading until the very, very end. Thank you so much!

Kitty’s a courier, ends up with some high-tech chip thing in her (initially unbeknownst to her) that has every baddie and legally not-a-baddie after her (later on, she somehow manages to outsmart everyone and move around off-the-radar)
I didn’t quite get where Vicious went from using Kitty as a pawn to “for you, Kitty, I’ll do anything”
ultimately, Kitty runs away like the immature brat she is, then proceeds to make a fool out of Vicious, which he, for some reason, allows (so much for all his supposed resources and power?)
just felt like their relationship kind of dragged on without a lot of substance. Kitty pretty much a brat the whole time, which i guess goes with her youth?
Blaze, Kitty’s friend, was pretty annoying as well, but more … reasonable? thought the dynamic between Blaze and Slack was less exhausting than Kitty and Vicious
think I would’ve enjoyed it more if they came together against a shared threat, instead of her trying to … i don’t know, show him up? make him lover her more? i don’t know … it all just fell flat
I did like Angelo and crew, would be interested in going back to read his books
there were lots of funny lines, which was nice

Loki Renard is a guilty pleasure. I always enjoy this author’s language and pacing. Kitty annoyed me to no end, though. I actually had to skim some of her annoying antics. Vicious was pretty horrible, too. He is an older man and should know better. His frontal lobe is actually developed! The constant games, so immature! I felt like neither one actually grew as a character. Vicious never bent. Kitty just kinda forgot (or got over) wanting to get married and have a family. Blaze and Slick were intriguing. I would’ve loved to have read more about their forays.

The Collection comprised 4 books about Vicious/Arthur & Katherine/Kitty plus Arthur's sidekick Slick & Kitty's bff, Blaze. Arthur is the head of a criminal organisation & he tells Kitty, a courier, that he wants her to work for him. What he actually wants is her, to belong to him. But nothing is as it seems & Kitty is actually highly sought-after by other organisations - lawful & illegal!
I enjoyed this book so much more than the first one that I read! And whizzed through it onvernight. It's dark & dirty but entertaining & easy reading;a book you pick when you need a change!

No lo he abandonado porque odio dejar libros a medias, siempre pienso y si mejora.
Pero no mejoró, son 4 libros cortos unidos, y a conforme avanzaba se volvía más y más surrealista.
Los personajes son planos y tienen actitudes muy erráticas. Y tampoco hay una trama como tal, parece una unión de hechos "supuestamente impactantes y relacionados con el crimen" sin relación alguna entre ellos y a los que no dejaban tiempo de desarrollarse.

Mixed feelings
I was totally torn by liking and hating this book. I know this book is a D,/s book but I really hated how he kept calling her a spoiled brat just because she had a mind of her own. I caught myself scoffing when he slapped her pussy. How would he feel if he got his duck slapped? I also don't think it ever explained when he first saw her and why he was the one to take her

Twisted love story
In the box set you not only get Vicious and Kitty but Slick and Blaze's story as well. Twists and turns in this dark romance. Absolutely worth reading.

Loved it
This was an amazing story. The push and pull between Vicious and Kitty made for a great story, plus the added side story of Slick and Blaze.
