Isabella and Kelli have taken this series and ripped my heart out. I know a lot of people don't like books that come out like this and to be honest I am not a big fan of novella size books coming out a couple of weeks apart. BUT I have to say even if you are on the sideline and that is the only reason, don't let it be. Fallen Dynasty is a must-read series!

Devil and Violet are characters that CAN NOT be ignored. The story that is told in their voices is so wonderful that you can not put these books into words. I am in love with this series, and I couldn't guess where we will go next.

I will keep reading these books until they stop coming! And I highly recommend anyone to read them!

A bad soap opera

The first one wasn’t thaaaaat bad, it was still sort of ridiculous but I decided not to take it seriously and just morbidly enjoy it, like a telenovela.

The second one was boring and even more implausible than the first one.

This one was laughable, you could taste the desperation for a good plot in every ridiculous twist.

The whole thing is just one of the author’s wet dreams, a poorly written one at that. There’s no attention to detail, the author didn’t care to investigate a bit about legalities in the real world, the whole premise is based on contracts that are just impossible all over the world.

This is the kind of work that never should’ve seen the outside of Wattpad.

Violet and Devlin's story continues with this where it left off and I loved seeing a more mature and assertive version of her and a slightly very slightly softer of Devlin and it was super enjoyable throughout

This is the 3rd book in The Fallen Dynasty Series. Hands down this has been the best book in the series so far! Lots of action, mystery, drama and angst. Not to mention character growth. Gone was the immature heroine from the previous books. Violet was a fighter and a real bad-ass and I am loving her in this book! Devlin is still not my favorite but he seems to be growing emotionally in this book too and he works hard to save Violet so can’t hate on him too much in this one.

I couldn’t put this one down finished it the same day glad I stuck with the story. I had a few issues with the first two especially book 2 but this one was well developed and interesting. This one only had two flashbacks and they were well done and enhanced the story. Looking forward to book 4.

OMG! OMG! OMG! I'm still shaking from reading this book and now I'm trying to type a review that may somehow relate to you the intensity of this part of the storyline. With all the twists and turns, the drama, angst, and terror, I thought this would be the conclusion to Devlin and Violet's story. That wasn't to happen. Although the part of me that has continued to follow Isabella Starling and Kelli Callahan's creation is a bit disappointed we don't fully have answers or consequences, there's another part of me that is absolutely thrilled a new twist has been added. I could just hear the music mentally playing "dum, duum, duuum!" Ladies you are to be congratulated for a job well done. Just don't make us wait too long, PLEASE.

⭐️ one star -

Yes, I picked up book three 🤦‍♀️ I was hoping our heroine would find a way to find someone new - clearly I’m not getting the concept of these dark romance books with an unredeemable Hero lol.

It’s more of the same - poorly written smut. It wasn’t even an enjoyable read. It was the pandemic, and I was bored - this is what happened.

Will I read Isabella Starling and Kelli Callahan again? Probably. I’m an adult that likes to read adult books occasionally, so there’s that.

This trilogy was just more disturbing to me than enjoyable, so one star for all three installments.

This is the 3rd book in the series, and I do recommend reading them in order. Violet has been taken from Devlin and he will do whatever it takes to get her back. Will he learn the truth? Fast-paced read with lots of drama, suspense and twists and turns. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it!

I can’t believe that Georgia would do that!!! I understand Devlin’s reaction. But Violet just had to leave without all the information. Finally get to meet Devlin’s mom, though maybe we shouldn’t have wanted to know her. There is so much that happens in this book and so much of the backstory comes to light. Can’t wait to read the next one.

Well that was a rush job...

Honestly have a little respect for your readers and do a basic spellcheck before publishing your book. Too many common spelling and grammatical mistakes were in this installment of the series. Plus there were a lot of plot elements that were repetitive and then just totally ignored. How could the quality of writing decline so quickly?

This whole storyline felt very rushed and incomplete. The basis of good plot were there but the execution was awful. I kept thinking: You have two authors on this book and neither one of them read this through before publishing?

Needless to say, since there was a marked decline in the quality of the writing I will not be continuing this series and I am hesitant to give either of them another read whether as a team or on solo publications. I am left very disappointed, again.

Devil's Sinner is third book in the Fallen Dynasty series. The novel following Devlin Windsor and Violet Cabot. A dark, twisted and forbidden romance. It's a dark romance, with an age gap, possessive hero, taboo, forbidden dark relationship filled with secrets, lies, lust, enemies, suspense, drama, danger, deception, betrayal, darkness, mystery, anger, hatred, action, emotions, heartaches, survival, angst, revelations, despair, unexpected twists and turn, trust issues, dominance, torture, physical abuse, pain, debasement, BDSM, submission, loyalties, obsession, surprises, love and so much more. The story is twisted, raw, depraved and pulse-pounding.
An addicting page turner that keeps you engrossed and on the edge of your seat. The story picks up after that mind-boggling cliffhanger in Devil's Toy and now Violet is in the clutches of her evil brother-in-law. While Devlin is losing his mind and thinking that she left on her own free will but will quickly realize that it wasn't the case.
Violet was tricked by her sister into leaving Devlin domineering style only to end up with Connor her evil brother-in-law who wanted her for himself. She awaken tie up and blindfolded at the mercy of Connor with no food or water unless she signs over her submission to him. Meanwhile Devlin is going through is own hell being without her. He's going crazy trying to find her and is accuses his dad of taking her who denies it. He confronts Connor who is a bastard. There are so many things at play here and they don't want them to be together because of old family feud. But Violet as grown and she will hold on until Devlin finds her she only hopes that it's soon. Will Devlin rescue Violet in time from Connor before her will power break? What will Devlin do to Connor when he finds with Violet?

His most precious thing is taken and he will be the biggest sinner to get her back

Devil's Sinner is the third book in the Fallen Dynasty series by Kelli Callahan and Isabella Starling. It continues the story of Devlin Windsor and Violet Cabot and picks up from the last book, Devil's Toy. Be warned that this book is not the last so you need to be prepared to wait for the next to find out what happens next. The story itself continues the dark and twisted romance that started with a deal between two families which saw Violet become Devlin's possession. In this book Violet is put in danger after being tricked which resulted in her being separated from Devlin. Her world is not very different and she will have to fight to get back to him, just as she hopes Devlin is fighting to find her.

I am finding that as this series continues the story becomes more robust and has more maturity. The character growth is also good as Violet is now coming into her own and finding her own strength. I am looking forward to reading the next book to find out what happens with this couple and those around them.

This is the 3rd book in the series.
The story picked up right from where it started. It captured my attention from the word go.
Violet suffered so much in this book and has realised that Devlin wasn't the devil he was actually her Saviour. Because of him she was soo much stronger and not a spoiled daddy's girl. She was able to keep herself going and endure the torture.

Devlin also grew as a character. He thought he was crazy because of his possession of her as his plaything, but he may actually be more emotionally connected to her than he thought.
He also suffered greatly in search of his Violet. My heart rate sparked so many times throughout the book. Fear for Violet and what Connor would do and how Devlin might actually never see her again.

The mystery and Suspense of why and who is behind all this starts to get unravelled bit by bit.
Yep I had to read it in one sitting again.
Please be aware these books are very dark so a lot of stuff are uncomfortable to read. Being open minded helps to enjoy them.

It was near to be over.....

Devil's Sinner is the third installment in the Fallen Dynasty Series and must be read after books #1 & #2, respectively.

Violet finds herself in a very precarious predicament and it's time to put her ideias in order and analize her circumstances, who is the devil and who is the headsman and understand where she truly belongs. Devlin is in a rut, desperate, angry and ready to spill the blood of those who dared to take his precious possession.
After some vicious arguments that came to blows and secrets revealed, foes become temporary allies to subdue the unknown players that might have been pushing the strings since the beginning.
In the end, one worry less, some deserved happiness and serenity, but the war is far from over and another head is to about roll.

This narrative is the most tension-filled, action-packed, fast, furious and irate with frayed feelings and, for the first time, the trepidation if losing it all and nothing else will matter if it is the case.

Gimme the next one!

The story continues where the second book left off. Devil Windsor is desperately trying to get Violet Cabot back. She’s been auction off to the highest bidder, her brother in-law Conner. In the previous books we only had a glimpse of Conner’s abuse to Violet’s sister. Now we see he’s a monster on the loose making her life hell. I love Devlin he knows he messed up, he should have told Violet how he felt. Oh he still would have geld her captive p, treated her like his slave/submissive but he could have showed he he valued her, loved her and not just out for revenge. Violet is a strong woman, she has always loved Devil, she craves him and his power dynamics. A captivating story of a love never ending no matter the circumstances as Violet has become a fighter, she fights Conner and his demands. She wants to get back to and Devil fight to be together if she can live through the angst and terror her life as become as Conner’s captive/slave.

Kinda spoilerish - but I won't outright say much

I thought this was definitely a step towards getting answers for many questions, while leaving many unanswered and raising new ones. I also hated how it really twisted the Mommy/boy relationship into something disturbing when that kind of thing already is so deeply stigmatized and misunderstood, even within the kink community at times.

The thing with the antihero STILL not listening to the heroine irritates me but maybe the next book will show some growth finally? This is an engaging read in that I would like to see how the knots unravel, but I'm not really feeling the romance at all. In the least. There just don't seem to be any qualities here that make this relationship something to cheer for, and I like my romance very dark. He just seems immature and childish to me, not at all in control or truly confident. That makes him deeply unappealing. Just a step away from the cruel bully.

The twists and turns make this book a super hot and depraved tale. There’s the ultimate betrayal between family members. Violet continues to be a fighter and having to learn about her sexuality and how much she can tolerate. Devlin searches his soul and feelings for Violet while he searches for her.

Isabella and Kelli are masters ( mistresses?) of their craft. This saga continues to explore the emotional and physical challenges all the characters create purposefully or orchestrated by vicious enemies. The dialogue is explicit, depraved, and often brutal. Secrets are exposed with devastating consequences and long term effects.

I’m loving the process and development of Violet and Devlin’s relationship with hopes that they can mature into a caring couple. Love within a submissive relationship would be the most beautiful goal. Can’t wait for the next book!.

Things are starting to get more complicated!!

This is book three in the Fallen Dynasty series, please be sure to read Devil's Captive and Devil's Toy before reading this book. This book does end on a cliffhanger, Devlin and Violet's story will continue in book four.

After making her escape, Violet finds herself in the hands of people who are far more cruel than Devlin. She also finds out there is so much more than just her father's arrest going on as well. These people are trying to bring everyone down in the name of revenge and Devlin still doesn't know who is behind the scenes pulling all the strings. This is such a wonderful series so far and I'm looking forward to more of Devlin and Violet's story in book four. I highly recommend this series to all dark romance lovers out there!

This is book three in the Fallen Dynasty series and they must be read in order so, please be sure to read Devil's Captive and Devil's Toy before starting this book. This book does end on a cliffhanger so we still have more to come from Violet and Devlin.

After making her escape from Devlin, Violet finds herself in the hands of people who are far more cruel than Devlin ever was. She also learns there are more things happening than just the downfall of her father. She learns that there is one person who wants revenge on her family for things that happened years ago. Don’t worry Devlin will go the ends of the earth to find her.

I rarely finish a book in one sitting, but I could not put this rollercoaster adventure down till the final page.

Must read for dark romance lovers!

I voluntarily revuewed a copy of "DEVIL'S SINNER"
This is a very interesting, intriguing, intense drama with angst, danger, heat, secrets, twists that make for an amazing story.
Devlin Windsor will not leave a stone unturned to find Violet Cabot when she taken by a man she was suppose to trust he'll use all the connections he has he wants her back.
Violet finds that people she's with a far more cruel than Devlin ever was & learns more about the take down of her father, the one person who wants revenge on her family for things that happened along time ago.
I definitely recommend to get this well written story Devlin unravels secrets as to why he & Violet can't be together, it might just break them forever, will these two get a HEA its a must read you don't want to miss getting to see what happens.

This is the third book in this series. It picks up after Violet Cabot is tricked into “escaping” Devlin. She is being held by her brother-in-law Connor. And she awakens blindfolded, hanging by her wrists in a musty smelling place. She is not fed or given water until she agrees to sign a contract enslaving herself to Connor. Things go down hill from there. Meanwhile Devlin is beside himself trying to find her. He accuses his father. Who denies all. And when he confronts Connor he is denied again. Only Connor is more despicable than he thought. And the plot twists one way and the turns another. Wear your neck brace to avoid whiplash. Will Violet be able to escape? Or will she have the strength of will to endure until Devlin can rescue her? Will Devlin ever figure it out? This one kept me reading all night. I did receive an advance copy for my honest review.

This is book 3 in the Fallen Dynasty series. This book picks up immediately after book 2. This book still is dark and twisted and violent things occur. If you've read the other books you should know Violet was kidnapped. This book exposes a whole lot of secrets between the Windsors and Cabots. The whole picture is focusing more as to why they dislike each other so much. Every secret hasn't been exposed though I don't think. With more books to be written I feel like this is just the start. This book shows how strong Devlin made Violet even though at the time he was degrading her. This time around Devlin had to humble himself a bit to try to get Violet back. No wonder Devlin is the way he is, look at his parents. Looking forward to the next book. I can't wait to see what happens next.

This is the third book in this series and Starling just continues to "knock it out of the park" with characters Violet and Devlin and the evolving story line. This novel took the story in a different direction peeling away layers of former characters in books 1 and 2 by revealing some stunning twists and turns which impact Violet and Devlin. To date this sequel was one of the best with the unexpected kidnapping of Violet by Conner. He's Violet's sister's husband and is one demented guy which has been well hidden until book 3. Make sure to read books 1&2 before reading 3. Things come to light in book 3 regarding Violet's dead mother that begins to weave a web of deceit and revenge. It's a great read and I highly recommend it.

This is the continuation of Devlin and Violet's dark romance. There is more historical information, dastardly schemes, cruel manipulations, and unlikely alliances. A horrible betrayal leads to Violet being held captive, suffering pain and at the mercy of cruel tormentors while Devlin does everything in his power to find her. The limits of both of their endurance are severely tested. The suspense is extreme. This gripping page turner is full anticipation and plot twists and I couldn’t put the book down. I am loving this series and I am anxious for the continuation of the story in a "Devil’s Plaything"! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This story picks up where book two left off. It’s extremely important to reads books 1 and 2 before reading The Devil’s Sinner. As in the first two books Ms. Sterling did not disappoint me! Devlin is frantic as he searches for his stolen princess. He is willing to risk it all to get his hands back on her. So many twists and turns and we try to figure out who is really behind the disappearance of Violet. Secrets begin to get revealed while others are still left unsolved. As soon as you think all will be right in their world another bomb has dropped! This story does end in a cliffhanger but it just leaves you excited that we will get more from this twisted story!

This story picks up where the previous book left off so please ensure you read books one and two first! A great mix from both Violet and Devlin’s POV, Devil’s Sinner picked up from where part 2 ended at a fast pace and with more secrets revealed. Still a few surprises along the way and a cliffhanger ending which I don’t mind as it means there’s much more to come. Great character development as Devlin’s feelings develop and Violet’s strength grows. Maybe not as HOT as the previous two books but still a great read and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Wow! What a turn! I read this in one day. The third book in the series Fallen Dynasty. You must read the first two books not a standalone. The twists and turns this book takes will keep you on your toes. I'm so hooked on Delvin and Violet's journey from the beginning, on how Violet ends up with Delvin to where she is now! Will, she ever get her happy ever after, Will her dad get out of prison. Who will she end up with or will she choose to be by herself. Pleases don't keep us hanging on too long to know.
