24 books499 followers"I am just a woman, like many of you, who has lived through beauty and ugliness, happiness, (sometimes extreme), and sadness, (sometimes heart wrenching), and have grown to love life and myself even more. I write because I love the characters, I am madly and hopelessly in love with them and want to share them with you. Life is beautiful and is meant to be enjoyed day by day, sometimes you have to pick out the good stuff with a magnifying glass like a needle in a haystack, but enjoyed none the less. The stories that I put on paper, I think, help us to find that enjoyment a little bit more."

Holy Chit!
What an intense conclusion!
Intense -
I knew this would ultimately end in a blood bath colored with deception and betrayal.
King had too many enemies that wanted to dethrone him not to mention he had a habit of keeping his enemies real close and never making friends.
Poor form your highness.
"I am yours to do with as you wish, my king. " - Evelyn
I loved Storm's snarky arse in book one but now - She is a category five he ll bent on clearing any obstacles in her path!
I do love a heroine who is intelligent and not afraid of taking what she wants.
Eve is all that and more.
She blows in and turns everyone's world upside down.
Speaking of... I hope we get stories for some of the cast - I have all kinds of questions.
King built such a high wall to protect that little boy within. Eve saw the cracks all those years ago - the little slivers of light reflecting in the darkness. She knew she could bring it down brick by brick slowly freeing the heart that was barricaded within.
We watched as King fought her every step of the way at times I wasn't sure she could do it.
But darkness can never hide from the light.
King was in many ways the director of his own downfall.
I read an unedited ARC copy but will be adding this to my physical collection upon release

Wow I’m still shaking from the ending of this absolutely fabulous, dark, twisted & emotional story!
Lucas is a emotional train wreck who pushes everyone away and doesn’t trust anyone except for the girl he fell for years ago. Now that he’s a wealthy man living the high life someone is trying to have him convicted of murdering 10 women, but who would go to such lengths to frame him and why?
Evelyn is now a lawyer making her own way but still missing something or maybe someone in her life. All it takes is one phone call in the middle of the night to bring back all those memories and feelings she’s kept buried for years. Asked to come back to her hometown to help with Lucas Kings murder trial she doesn’t hesitate to jump on board to be there for the only man she’s ever loved.
This story was so deep and twisted you can’t put it down but then again you want it to keep on going because these characters are so intense and emotionally fragile you want to see them heal and have the HEA they deserve. Will Lucas spend the rest of his life in prison or will he find out who is killing women from his past. Will he be able to open his black heart and admit to himself and Evelyn that he’s always loved her or will he let her go before she’s killed too?

6 beautiful stars!
This series had me gasping for air and the holding my breath for what is next! Lucas King is an arrogant, egotistical man. And Evelyn is his Achilles Heel. Their tumultuous relationship spans for over a decade and the fire and passion only intensifies with time.
My heart almost broke near the end of this story but the ending had me believing in love again.
This author writes the most exquisite stories with characters the reader loves to hate and hates to love.

Hang on for this wild ride, as Lucas and Eve reunite in this thrilling conclusion! I thoroughly loved their story! From their tumultuous beginning in book 1 to their suspenseful ending, I was on the hairy edge of my seat the entire time.
There were so many ways this could've gone, and I wracked my brain trying to figure out how everything was going to pan out. It just slayed me... nothing is as it seems, and the twists and turns took an extra sordid bend. Eve was a smart, strong woman, perfect for Lucas, who reigned over all things except the happiness he needed.
So well done, and such an engaging read!

WOW! WOW! WOW! This book is phenomenal. Lucas and Eve will take you on a ride of your life. This book will keep you turning those pages as fast as you can to see what Lucas, Eve and Preston are up too. The twists and turns will have your head spinning. Loved it. Love to feel my heart pounding while I am reading and this book did just that. I had no idea which way it would go. Eve is such a strong woman and deep within Lucas he has a heart of gold. This book is very well written and flowed well. The characters are well developed and felt real. What a way to end this suspenseful duet. A must read.

What a rollarcoaster ride this was outstanding and not a dull moment any where to be seen, the twists and turns and emotion expressed as Lucas and Evelyn come to terms with what is happening. I loved how they stuck together no matter what happened in the past , 10 years apart is a long time.
My heart was racing and then BOOM It hits OMG the ending had me biting my nails waiting for the absolute worst. We get to see every single part of these characters and it was beautiful to see the layers peel away and break. I loved it fantastic writing and character development, it was perfect.

What a conclusion to this outstanding duet! We had a glimpse of the aloof and disconnected Lucas King in the first book of the duet The Making of a King. The untouchable men and women of South Harbor use their wealth like a well worn shield. It’s all smoke and mirrors, will you believe what you see or what you hear? Appearances are everything and everyone has a hidden agenda, find the facts and stick with them, because they tell the truth.
Lucas finds himself charged with several counts of murder and reaches out to legal representation by the name of Evelyn Monroe. It’s been ten years and she never could say no to him, in a blink of an eye she is at his side. Not everyone is happy with her decision, including her father the District Attorney. Evie takes her job seriously and faces past hurt to find the real killer. All work and no play makes for a dull day. Lucas plays with his favourite toy Evie, she finds herself lost in the pleasure of his debauchery.

Lucas King is brazen, bold, determined and cold. He is not intimidated by anyone. He knows how the rich play their kinky games and has made alot of money with providing what the rich want. Evelyn Monroe was a high school friend who saw under all his layers of secrets to find the real Lucas. The grieving, abandoned and angry Lucas. She trusted and loved him. He sent her away to save her.
Ten years without communication and Lucas reaches out to Evelyn knowing she is the only person he trusts to help him. Lucas needs Evelyn's help to prove in innocence of murder.
This second book provides character development of their linked past and present. We learn more about Lucas's troubled past. I love the flow of writing and the way I was gripped from the beginning. This book has many details and twists and turns which meant I could not put this book down. I am usually able to figure out the mystery in most books, but not this time. This writer had me guessing until the end. Well done!

This is the second and last book of this stunningly intense and nail-biting suspenseful read. You must read book one first to get Lucas and Evelyn's complete story. I don't think there is anything I can say that will truly be able to prepare you for this book/duet. The storyline is gripping, emotional, twisted and dark. Secrets will be revealed, surprising turns will leave you breathless, a dangerous game plays out and a mystery must be solved. Evelyn and Lucas are both complicated characters and their history and relationship is complex. My advice is to make sure you have ample free time to read this page-turner because you are not going to be happy if real life interrupts you and try to prepare for an ending that is going to cause you to lose you mind!! Just Incredible!! I am electing to post a candid review.

YES, Yes and yes this amazing writer did it again! I had so many questions and was so tormented and full of unrest after reading All The Kings Men. However, I should have had some faith in this one click author and knew she would pull it all together, as only she can.
This book was not only chock full of suspense, intrigue and mystery, but also buckets of sexy. The dynamic between Lucas and his Storm is off the charts. They have this way about them that just sizzles. Plus, when Preston gets added into the mix, holy hotness overload!
I was so happy and surprised by the way this story unfolded. I really thought I had it figured out and bam, I was hit with a twist. This is a duet that was quick but full of development. I recommend all the words!

This book brings Evelyn Monroe back in the arms of the one man she hates to love. She is a lawyer now living a life but missing the one thing that she should not want. Lucas's life is spiraling out of control, control he so diligently constructed . There is a killer out there and he is pinning Lucas with the falt. Evelyn maybe the only one who can save him but he broke her years ago to save her but was he only setting her up now to be the next victim or will her presence help him solve this killers identity. The intimacy is hot the electric current is still there and the suspense and mystery will keep you guessing. You will not believe the outcome, nobody ever saw it coming.

You'll sit there and read it because you don't want to finish this book. N.M.Catalano is a master story weaver. Thank you for your talent. Must read.

Lucas "MF'en" King! All the KINGS Women was worth the wait! The characters have all matured. And while, their signature traits remain, it's nice to see this new side to them. So many things are unfolding in South Harbor Island. Murder, Sex, Corruption. Who can be trusted? N.M. Catalano wrote a wonderful suspense book, with some page burning sex scenes! This is definitely a page-turner!

His Royal Prickness is back! I’ve been looking forward to the conclusion to Lucas and Evie’s story since meeting them in The Making of a King and let me tell you it was worth the wait.
With the murders of five women and all clues pointing at Lucas he must find out who is out to ruin him. As the clues and information start to piece together it becomes clear that whoever it is will stop at nothing to see him destroyed and that they are going after what’s most important to him...Her.
It’s been 10 years since Lucas King last saw Evelyn, his Storm, and for good reason. He thought by pushing her away, after his lifestyle almost destroyed her, was what was for the best. He thought if he left her in his past she would be safe. He’s made a powerful name and life for himself in those 10 years, building his empire and residing at that top of his world. But not without making some enemies in those past 10 years. That’s the funny thing about pasts, they sometimes come back to haunt you. Now he must bring Evie back, to the town that brought them together but also ripped them apart, to keep her safe, before someone from one of those pasts actually does destroy her, for good.
Evelyn Monroe has a good, fulfilling life even if her past, or more specifically Him, still lingers in her mind. When she gets ‘the’ call, the one she’d always known would come, she doesn’t hesitate to go to him. He’s in trouble and she’s the only one who can save him.
“”I need you.”
I reacted the way I knew I always would; the way he knew I’d react. The same way I always did.
“Where are you?” I didn’t hesitate”
As time is running out and as Lucas and Evelyn become closer to each other, the killer is moving in. Will they figure out who is it is that is out to get them or will they be too late to save each other?
Grab the explosive conclusion to Lucas and Evie’s journey in this fast paced, decadent, scorching hot, on the edge of your seat story!
I absolutely loved this duet! It has everything, twists, angst, heat, and heart!! Thank you NM Catalano for another amazing book!! And there are many secondary characters that I want to know their stories!

Even though it gets frustrating and/or tired to do this, I feel I have a responsibility to state for the record that All the KINGS Women is the conclusion, Book 2, final book in The KING Duet, so YOU MUST READ The Making of a KING ( Book 1) FIRST! And if you choose not to, you'll be lost & not enjoy the crazy goodness that N.M. Catalano creates so well. Now, this ending is so explosive, so intense that I never once guessed who was behind the scenes manipulating these events. The twists were so turned up in insanity, while the turns were twisted so badly, that there came a point to where I couldn't even drop f-bombs because of my jaw just dropping in shock, stealing my breath. Does it sound like I'm being extreme?! Not for one second, and when you read this Duet and/or this conclusion, you'll know what I'm talking about. Simply put, Lucas pushed away the only woman he will ever love, sending him into a lonely, dark existence, because he thought he was keeping her safe. Well, it backfired on him, because many years later, he has to bring her back into his life to keep her safe since there's someone killing woman while doing a stand up job of framing him for it. Lucas is dark & twisty, which doesn't help his case, but I mean, who is pulling the strings?! So now, Evelyn Monroe, the love of his life, is the one person who can help him beat this, but he was wrong about keeping her safe, since it's a very big possibility that she's next on the evil killer's list. She's at his side as his attorney, and of course, so much more. Their chemistry is insanely explosive, as every interaction seriously threw sparks everywhere, making sexy times the kind that destroys everything in their path from the flames. All of this chaos leads up to an ending that blew my mind completely. I NEVER EVER came even close to guessing how this would all pan out. And that my book loving friends, makes All the KINGS Women an EPIC ending to an EPIC Duet, by the brilliant N.M. Catalano. And now it's up to you to one click this HOLY HELL ride of EPIC PROPORTIONS. Do NOT wait, do NOT move slowly, just one click it IMMEDIATELY for I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
Loved this book and it is one you NEED to READ—you won’t regret it! This is the conclusion of the duet, and book 1 is THE MAKING OF A KING that is required to read. N.M. Catalano you did it!! You delivered an addictive, intriguing, suspenseful crime thriller romance story that totally blew me away! Murder, mystery, suspense, kidnapping, betrayal, jealously, intrigue, thrills and passion continue to keep you glued to the pages of this fascinating story. From the beginning, the story starts with a murder mystery—whodunit!! I wasn't expecting the turn this story took; it has quite an unexpected revelation that may leave you flabbergasted but it is jaw-dropping good! Ten years have gone by, and Lucas King is now a very wealthy man living in a mansion in his small town—he is the ‘king’ of his world. People hated him, but they also feared him. Evelyn (Eve) Monroe is now an attorney living out-of-town, and she has been summoned by Lucas. Lucas faces a confounding situation that makes him carefully consider the decisions that he will have to make. A simple mistake caused disastrous things to happen, after which he is forced to now protect Evelyn, the love of his life. But, the one thing that is most horrifying is something that he never thought of. Lucas and Evelyn’s relationship is put to the test. Will it survive? Will Lucas be able to protect Evelyn? Wait until you read what happens at the end—you will be astounded and appalled. Get your tissues ready!! There are several twists and turns within the storyline. The story has a revenge plot, outlined to make you question everything. Second guessing motives and characters—deep and troubled main and secondary characters. I was flipping the pages in wonder. The storyline is fluid, and the characters are extremely well developed. This book will surely pique your interest!

WOW - Amazing Epic Conclusion!
What an amazing epic conclusion to this fantastic and dark story! This story is one hell of an emotional roller coaster ride with lots of ups and downs along the way. N.M. Catalano knows just how to grip you with her words and keep you fully captivated with the story. There was no way I was putting this down until the end. I wanted answers and I desperately needed to know who did it. And damn, that was one fantastic ending!!
Lucas may be a complete ass but you can't help but fall in love with him. He's dark and stormy but has intense love and affection for those that don't hurt or betray him. There are new intense sides to Lucas that he's never shown before. He is finally becoming the man that we readers want him to be. Evelyn is everything Lucas needs. 10 years apart doesn't seem to dull their attraction and the explosive way they interact with each other. She's his kryptonite and his everything. They are absolutely fantastic and powerful together. Lucas brings out her inner dark side and Evelyn brings out his passion and intense love. They are completely and utterly meant for one another.
I loved book one but book two is even more intense, darker and full of suspense and intrigue. The writing is amazing and the storytelling is gripping and fantastic. Highly recommend.

Five++ stars
WOW!! What an ending to a great duet! The storyline was perfect! Flawless, well written and NM knows how to make me feel like I am there with the characters. Having all of the feels that they are having. I am still having the feels of that ending. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book but that ending I did not expect. There is never a dull moment in this duet.
Lucas King was definitely the King of all King’s and one HOT mo fo! I loved Evelyn’s determination at anything that she endures; although that determination for King or Preston for that matter was WOW! Those ten years apart did not stop the two of them and their love for one another. Those sex scenes definitely proved that.
All The King’s Women is the second book in The King Duet and I was not disappointed. I cannot wait to see what else N.M. Catalano has in store for us next.

WOW!! What an ending to a great duet! The storyline was perfect! Flawless, well written and NM knows how to make me feel like I am there with the characters. Having all of the feels that they are having. I am still having the feels of that ending. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book but that ending I did not expect. There is never a dull moment in this duet.
Lucas King was definitely the King of all King’s and one HOT mo fo! I loved Evelyn’s determination at anything that she endures; although that determination for King or Preston for that matter was WOW! Those ten years apart did not stop the two of them and their love for one another. Those sex scenes definitely proved that.

Wow! Let me tell you this book is one fantastic roller coaster. As a reminder Lucas pushed Eve away last book. Eve just happens to be the only woman Lucas has ever loved.
Fast forward to this second and final book in the series! Lucas is being accused of killing five women he has been intimate with. His reputation doesn't help him one bit. Eve receives a call from Lucas randomly one evening summoning her to help him. Eve hasn't spoken to Lucas in years but she gets in her car to be by his side. Once Eve finds out he is being charged with murder she of course tries to explain to Lucas that is not the type of law she practices, but Lucas won't back down. Eve is the only person in the world Lucas trusts. Is Eve the next on the murder's list? Can Lucas keep the only woman he's ever loved safe?
This book is one intense roller coaster full of twists and turns you hadn't seen coming. I can recommend this book enough! You won't be able to put it down!

I loved ALL the Kings Women. I have been waiting for the conclusion of this series. It was definitely worth the wait.
When Lukas is charged with 5 counts of murder. There is only one person he can trust to help him with his case, Evelyn. He also wants to find out who the killer is before he or she can claim the final victim and which it would destroy his life in the process.
I adored Evelyn character. She was loving, fierce, protective, and loving. She was a strong women and someone you need in your life. Lucas is the bad boy that has a heart of gold.
The ending was incredible. I may have screamed and cursed a bit. I was at the edge of my seat. NM Catalano brings you the perfect ending to this story.

This is book 2 in The King Duet and you absolutely must read book 1 before reading this one or you will be completely lost!! In this one we get the conclusion of Lucas and Eve's story! This series will take you on twists and turns and make you hate Lucas but at the same time you can't help but love him!! There is so much that happens that will break your heart but at the same time make you just want to keep reading. Eve is the perfect match for him though.

Anywhere from anger to angst to OMG that is freaking HOT!! I couldn't put it down and loved every minute of it!!

Even after 10 years, Evelyn Monroe is still completely intoxicated by Lucas King. Even though he broke her heart. Even when he is accused of murder. She can’t say no to him and this time it might be deadly.
This story has everything I’ve come to expect from N.M. Catalano. A dominant man, a women that makes his heart feel, a mystery to be solved and plenty of kink.

What an epic finalè!
Wonderful. Brilliant. Mysterious. Amusing. Continues from book one, ten years later. Strong opening. The characters are the same but bolder. Evelyn now Eve has calmed her temper now that she is a lawyer. She is still in love with Lucas. So helping solve the murders of five women is critical since Lucas is the one charged. Ferreting out the killer leads to a deadly outcome but Lucas gets justice, happiness and the mystery behind the murders solved. Love it!
