Men of Clarke County #4

The Devil Must: A Reverse Harem Romance

Rate this book
Three scorching-hot, former Special Forces soldiers, and me… A lost farm girl from Wyoming. I came to Clarke County looking for something. Or, rather, someone. My prodigal sister. I made a deathbed promise to my mother that I’d find Tulip, and now that every part of my old life is gone and buried, or cremated, I don’t have any excuses left. But the road to Clarke County, and to finding my wayward sister, is a bumpy one! Before long I’m in need of help, and the universe sends me my first sexy soldier. With his cocky smile and capable hands, my Good Samaritan helps me get my broken down pickup back on the road. Too bad I don’t even get his name! Thankfully, either fate, or small town living, intervenes, and I see him again at an old diner while I’m following up my only lead on Tulip. And, this time, he has company. Thank God, too. Because what’s better than one sexy soldier? Two! Next thing I know, I’m meeting both Carter and Nate at the Pony, a biker roadhouse, as I follow Tulip’s trail of fake names and broken promises. But, one bar fight and a dozen games of pool later, and this Wyoming farm girl finds herself back at their place, writhing and moaning under their rough hands and scorching lips. The things Carter and Nate do to me, and the things I do to Nate and Carter, are more than enough for me to question what’s gotten into my head. This isn’t the Violet I thought I was. This can’t be the timid farm girl from Wyoming I always thought I was! Can it? That is, until I meet their rough and tumble, motorcycle riding, third Jacob. Because what’s the only thing better than two handsome soldiers that can start a raging inferno in you? Three! Especially after I find out that my sister may have taken up with the roughest outlaw bikers in Clarke County. And definitely after my soldiers find out those same bikers are running guns and ammo for the Mexican drug cartels! Now, it’s up to the four of us to try and pry her away from these criminals. And it’s up to me to realize that one soldier isn’t nearly enough. Because I’ll need all three of my handsome, rough, alphas to extinguish the flames of desire they’ve stoked inside of me. Otherwise? All four of us just might get burned. THE DEVIL MUST can be read either BEFORE or AFTER Ashes to Ashes (Book 1), Dust to Dust (Book 2), and Heaven Won’t Take Us (Book 3). This is a reverse harem romance with three sexy heroes and one beautiful heroine! No cliffhangers, GUARANTEED STANDALONE, and 100% guaranteed HEA!

Violet is looking for her sister Tulip after their mom has passed away. She ends up with a flat tire and is having a fit with it when she meets Nate when he stops to help her change her tire. When she gets into town she runs into him and his friend Carter at a local diner when she goes in looking for her sister and ends up eating. They go with her to a biker bar and end up saving her from some bad guys that think she's her sister. Nate, Carter and Jacob are former military men and are working for the government to track down some illegal weapons. The guys decide to help Violet since she was going to the places they needed to go to search out as well. Sparks fly between the three and things heat up between them as they begin their searches. Will they find her sister safely? Who is bringing the weapons in?

This story will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. The chemistry between them is is scorching hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

The Devil Must is a fantastic RH romance. Violet is looking for her sister and meets up with Crater, Nate and Jacob. All ex special forces who is working for the CIA. They have their own reasons for helping Violet. It seems that all the places that they needed to go so was Violet. Crater and Mate ends up protecting Violet and taking her home with them. They all had a night to remember. When Violet talks with the owner from a bar that Tulip worked at he gives her the news that he thought her sister might be on drugs and gives her next clue on where to go she is determined to go and check it out not listening to all the reasons why it’s not a good idea. Since Nate and Crater defended her against members of the Steel Demons’ members they can’t take her so she ask their roommate Jacob. He agrees when she tells him if he doesn’t take her she would go alone. While they are there Jacob plans investigating to help with his mission. Things went a little sideways during their visit and both Violet and Jacob gets some answers and clues to where to look next. Jacob promises. Joliet that he and Nate and Carter would all help her find her sister before completing their mission. What happens next you will need to find out for yourself. You will not be disappointed. There is a lot of action in and out of the bedroom. The sex scenes are very hot. Be prepared to have a fan close by to help cool you down.

Once again a totally wonderful story to read, and i really loved the storyline that went with it, it certainly was intriguing to say the least. And the other thing i totally enjoy about this was the way Voilet met all the men. She was on the way Clarke Country to finding her sister when she got a flat tyre, but changing tyres werent that easy, however when someone stopped and offered to help, she was tongue tied, he was certainly a handsome man. The next time she met up with him and his friend was at the bar. Finding her sister wasnt easy, but hooking up with these beautiful man why not after all its only for one night ? right?
But Carter and Nate and Jacob have a mission to do,finding who is supplying the Cartel with guns so, kiling two birds with one stone they went to another bar but unfortunately no luck. Theres only one more place to look for her sister, but inbetween this Voilet has a wonderful time with the three men. Can they all get what they are looking for.

Another must read, im totally enjoying all these wonderful stories, not just because its a reverse harem which i enjoy, but because as i said in the start the story makes you want to keep on reading more.
Well done again..

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Violet is searching for her sister who is in some trouble. She starts meeting the men when she has trouble driving to Clarke County. They all four decide to look for her sister but the men have their own reasons other than just to help Violet out. This story has drama, suspense, bad guys and great characters. Violet did not expect for Jacob, Nate and Carter to be anything more than fun while searching. They all four fall for each other but are unsure about a future. I have read all of Torys books and enjoyed this one as much as the others. I look forward to what she writes next. If rh is a genre that you enjoy, i encourage you to read her stories

Every once in awhile, I attempt to read a menage or reverse harem book. Some books are all about the sex. Some make the relationships awkward or all about the instalove. The rare few have an actual story to go with the sex. The Devil Must is one of those decent reads. Violet meets each of her harem separately and has a brief moment of wondering if her choice to be with them is over the top. There is also a story that is a bit far fetched, but it's something to read to go with the steam. If you like reverse harem books, Carter, Nate and Jacob will make it worth your while.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it was full of adventure, romance, drama and suspense. Tie in a woman, Violet, who needs help and is rescued by an ex military hunk Carter, and his two best friends Nate and Jacob, who are also ex military. They have run ins with bikers, cartels and the CIA. Violet, Carter, Nate, and Jacob will have their relationship tested, but will it survive? All I can say is that you won’t be disappointed with reading this book.

I really enjoyed reading this reverse harem by Tory Palmer and look forward to reading more books in the future. The story was fantastic, had plenty of hot steamy scenes, good humour, great action and sense of adventure all while following the amazing characters with their diverse personalities and amazing sizzling chemistry. I will definitely be going back to read books one and two of this series as I have only read books three and this book four so far.

Loved it! Violet is looking for her sister when she has a flat tire and then a handsome stranger stops to help her. This starts her journey with Carter, Nate, and Jacob as they try to help her locate her sister. Violet, Carter, Jacob and Nate were strong characters and they had a great connection and chemistry. A really enjoyable and steamy read.

An interesting story takes an intense turn when the female lead character is faced with car trouble then a case of mistaken identity. The level of attraction between her and her helpers is off the charts. A good story.
