The Cardigan Estate #3
Refusal
Patch bosses just don’t know when to stay in their own lane… Lavender turns tricks for a living at the parlour behind The Angel. She’s been hiding in plain sight, but her past has caught up with her. She should have known running wouldn’t solve her problems… Kevin Robins runs one of London’s patches, and he’s been searching for Lavender for three years. He’s finally found her—and plans to reel her back to his sordid life. Martin is snatched off the streets and taken to an attic, where he suffers torturous abuse. What he doesn’t understand is why two men, called The Brothers, have given him a helping hand. Teddy is devastated at a wicked turn of events. He wants someone to pay and won’t rest until justice is served. The Cardigan Estate, where life is easy—if you’re friends with twins who are more than happy to mete out retribution.

Another good read from Emmy Ellis. Really enjoying reading the background stories of the characters and the retribution meted out. Each book is as good as the last and can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series.

Really enjoying this series. Love the stories behind all the characters. Brutal and gory at times but justice is always served on the Cardigan estate!
Looking forward to the next one.

This is third book in the Cardigan Series focusing on the story of Lavender. We see her underlying strength like Debbie in book one.
This book covers abuse in its darkest form - kidnapping and torturing people for fun, abuse and the desire and need for revenge.

Read the first three books in this series, stopped after 3rd.
All books same villain and horrendous murders by violent thugs. Each book same as last with same violence and thuggery.
Boring in places.
Sorry

I love the way Ellis writes. I can't usually get on with third person narrative, but her books are so fast-paced and well-written you don't even realise you're reading.

Perfect justice
I really like this series, it is so beautifully written and the flow is impossible to put down, let's hope there is more.

These books just keep getting better. The story lines follow through from the last book. Main characters surprise you with as much heart as violence.
