Tracy Lorraine is a M/F and M/M contemporary romance author. Tracy has just turned thirty and lives in a cute Cotswold village in England with her husband, baby girl and lovable but slightly crazy dog. Having always been a bookaholic with her head stuck in her Kindle Tracy decided to try her hand at a story idea she dreamt up and hasn’t looked back since.
To be honest, I’m a little over Emmie. She’s a brat with an attitude and part of me wishes Theo would just walk away so she can figure her shit out.
I love Theo to pieces and yes he’s made questionable decisions but does that mean the whole world blames him for everything!? I mean, his own besties choose a different side. Like damn people, is he really that bad? Did he force her into marriage? He’s not innocent, but does he deserve the world raining down their fury all on him?
Maybe I’m a little sour because I’ve been Team Theo from day 1, but Emmie’s latest antics…she needs to do some groveling herself.
Theo and Emmie’s story is thrilling and I’m not really sure where it’s going at this point. Is she in danger? Does her connections make her a target? Is Theo just going to continue chasing after her bratty ass (ok sorry that was harsh but I’m so pissed at her right now haha)?
Overall Opinion : Omg!! It's been a while since I beta read this one but I just can't get over how crazy and amazing it was.
After that cliffhanger of the first book and man Theo's assholishness, I was dying for this book. I just need to see where it goes and how he gets his redemption lmao. And every word of it was worth the wait. I knew this one was a trilogy but that wait is going to drive me crazy 👀 Now I need the second book ASAP. That ending was shocking at its best and just plain gold.
Definitely recommending this one to all the enemies to lovers romance loving people. If you are into genres like biker girl, badass heroines, cold heroes, heavy chemistry and hate love, then definitely pick this trilogy, you'll love it.
oh my god. I‘m already in desperate need of the third book! That cliffhanger at the end! Chef‘s Kiss. I don‘t know how Tracey manages to up her books every time!
Emmie and Theo are like water and oil. They are both super stubborn and hardheaded. But they fit together so well! I loved seeing so many characters from previous books aswell.
I just need the third book asap! This series is so addicting!
If you love enemies to lovers romance like I do, you will love every second of Deviant Princess by Tracy Lorraine. Theo and Emmie are toxic and messy and electrifying together. I was sucked into this explosive, sizzling hot and unputdownable new adult romance from the first page. It was a fascinating and intoxicating mix of crazy chemistry, suspense and deep emotions.
This is book 2 of the trilogy and must be read in order. Biker princess Emmie Ramsey was trying to fit into her new life with her father and stepmom. And mafia prince Theo Cirillo was making it hell. Now he has taken her captive after declaring that they are married. Emmie hates her. Theo needs her. Secrets and lies are all over. Will Emmie keep on fighting even when she feels that Theo filled up the emptiness inside? How will Theo make his girl stay?
I loved how strong Emmie is as a character. She is rough and raw and stubborn and impulsive. No one can control her. No one can tame her. This girl is a fierce queen who doesn't bow to anyone. She is also painfully vulnerable sometimes because her life is going from one extreme to another and she is trying to make sense of the chaos. Theo is supposed to be the bad boy #antihero and he is. He is brutal and savage with ruthless control and deep possessiveness. But Emmie is making him lose his mind. It was a sinful game with so many pieces. Theo trying to keep her contained for her safety and also destroying her heart with his lies. Emmie craving for him but resisting it till the last moment because she cannot love a liar and a manipulator. It was so soul shattering to see them trying to navigate their feels while their worlds pushed between them.The plot is a mine field of power plays and mind games and I couldn't put my guard down. At the end, my heart was breaking for them. I am scared that they have taken it too far to come back.
If you want your romance to be sexy and action packed and equally heartaching, Deviant Princess by Tracy Lorraine is it for you.
5/5 ⭐ 3/5 🌶 Knights Ridge Empire Series/Interconnected series (book 5) *read books 1-4 first* Dark, mafia, HS, bully FMC: Emmie MMC: Theo Both POVs
It just keeps getting better!
Deviant Princess is the second book of Emmie & Theo's story as books 1-3 were focused on Seb & Stella.
I'm absolutely in love with Emmie and Theo's story and book 2 just got so much better if that is even possible since the first book was so good! They are by far my favorite couple out of the 2 and that is saying something since Stella and Seb are 🔥.
This book had me so torn with whose side to be on. With defnite surprises along the way! I will say that I could see Emmie's POV throughout this entire book (well up untill the end) but my heart just felt and went out to Theo.
And just a heads up...this cliffhanger is worse than the last! 😳
Normally, for the first time, I have mixed feelings about this author after reading. I always ended up with my mouth open that wau but now. I'm rather disappointed. Namely, I really liked the first 50% of the book. But after Emmie did it on New Year's Eve, it went down the water. Honestly, what I admired about Emmie was gradually killed by the end of this book. And I'm very sad about that. For me, her character has always been strong, brave, rude. But in the end, it was the same wreck as her mother. I cannot shout for the first time and recommend reading this section, but it cannot be missed. I don't know what the conclusion will be, but this part and specifically this book are among my least favorites by this author.
We are back where Theo and Emmie’s first book left us with her being trapped because Theo wants a chance to prove and protect her. Is he going about this situation in the wrong way? Yes he definitely is but in this world where things are seriously life or death he has to make decisions that may not be ideal but are the best for each situation. Theo is the heir to the mafia so he has to be the guy to follow orders just like the rest of them yet he is held at an impossible standard because he also has to call the shots to certain things so when Emmie continuously berates and kicks him while he’s down made me mad. She seems to forget that this life is serious and she is surrounded by powerful people who could easily end her, yet she still acts childish and throws tantrums. Emmie is at that point where I only see her as being completely selfish and yes she does deserve some of her anger but it is constantly pointed at the wrong person, Theo. Theo repeatedly tries to show her his feelings the only way he knows how but it is never enough for her and she throws it in his face. She can forgive her mother, grandfather for their horrible acts almost instantly but she has this need to fight against everything that is Theo. I was glad that she got a break away from everything and was hoping with this time she could search herself try to find reason because if she is in danger Theo only wants her safe and she shouldn’t be fighting against that, yet instead she spends the time apart trying to find ways to drown her sorrows or make Theo angry. She is spiraling down a path that looks like her mother and that’s the one person she never wanted to be. I don’t know I feel as if Theo deserves better someone who can stand beside him when things get tough or questionable because Emmie is very immature with how she handles things. I really hope the next book that Emmie matures and they can work together to figure things out. Theo is not completely innocent but he also is not the one that deserves all of her ire.
Theo and Emmie are opposites. They are opposites in their insecurities, their reactions, and their processing of feelings. They make mistakes, they hurt each other, but the truth is, they are completely in sync with the need of each other. The attraction between the two is obvious right from the start (from way before when they were secondary characters). I was eagerly reading each page, and not even wanting to stop to eat. This series has been sexy and fun from the first book! In my opinion, this is the best book yet.
There's quite a lot going on in Deviant Princess, one shocking revelation after another, twists and turns you don't see coming. Emmie has a lot to take in, and she acts accordingly. Theo on the other hand couldn't be more patient with her. I loved the way he acted.
Could not put this book down. It was everything I wanted and needed. Theo and Emmie (Team Themmie?? Huh??) are so hawt they just melted my phone. Yeah this was intense and even emotional at times. Completely devoured this one!! I wanted to strangle them. I wanted them to seriously open their hearts up and COMMUNICATE, but that would make sense and these two enjoy defying common sense at all corners lmao 🤣. Like for real Theo, use your delicious dirty mouth for something other than pleasuring Emmie and tell her the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And Emmie pull your big girl knickers up and confront him about it. They were only standing one another’s presence long enough to rip each other apart figuratively and literally 🔥🔥🔥. But the moments that Theo wasn’t being a total obsessive compulsive liar and stalker and was letting Emmie take a peek at his big beautiful heart underneath all of his twisted armor was mind blowing and made me want these two to fight for their relationship 💯.
So much is going on here. We still have no clue why Emmie’s mom did what she did, which was of course really frustrating lol. We meet and I’ve definitely decided I need more of the Reapers. Xander seems loyal AF and so hawt I was almost like Theo who? Almost because I’m still Team Theo through and through. But yeah the Reapers need their own spin-off, is there one already? Idk. The Cirillo crew are still my favorite and I love them. So curious who gets their own story next! And Seb is still seriously the most adorable cinnamon roll ever!!! He loves his girl. He’s so proud of her and being the one she wants. He’s loyal to his boys and always ready to be there to back them up and of course he’s always there for family and that includes Emmie now. Seb is so cute!!! But I was always here for Theo. I love how rigid he is. That boy’s got layers and layers of complexity to him. When he loves, he loves. He’s completely devoted to Emmie. He wants no one else, he sees no one else. It’s so good. Yeah they’re both immature and in way over their heads trying to maneuver around the very grown up world they live in, but they are both so gone for another. And although Theo is in all the way, Emmie can’t forgive him for knowing what he knew and never divulging it to her before she allowed him in her heart. Girls got trust issues and he messed up big time. She wants him, but homie needs to work even harder to prove it to her. Seriously hoping she’s preggo even though they’re way too young, but I was getting the impression that’s in store for them and I’m not hating it. That cliffhanger was shocking!!! I was seriously pissed at Emmie. I know her heads not in the right headspace but she’s playing with fire. Fire being Theo’s emotions 🖤. Can’t wait for their conclusion!!!!
Listen, I’m all for a strong female leads always cause it’s rare to come across. It sometimes when you add childish and pettiness it ruins it. I absolutely cannot stand Emmie in this book. I’ve always found her annoying and it’s worse in this book! I’m annoyed by so many things in this book and that’s hard cause I live all of Tracy’s books. Do I know Theo messed up in ALOT of ways? ABSOLUTELY! But where was his people standing up for him. I mean Seb has his moments but he’s like stuck in the middle at this point. But where was all this FAMILY support they claim to have? Where was their loyalty shown? I’m disappointed if I’m honest. And now that ending? Is that just another thing Theo has to feel guilty over? She wanted to protect someone else from Theo?? Hello he was all over you when you were so drugged out! I’m So over her. But maybe she should be groveling for him in the next book. But I’m sure that won’t happen cause I’m guessing she’s now going to have to recover and Theo will be blamed!! The story itself was good but all the other stuff i mentioned made me take a star off cause that’s how much it ruined it for me. Stella was a strong lead and even though she never gave in right away to Seb, she never acted like this. Not even close!!!
This book was amazing! I wanted to scream I wanted to throat punch someone a few times I was literally pulling my hair with these two! Emmie and Theo’s love is so dark passionate and toxic these two are so explosive together! Secrets are revealed betrayals are discovered there are so many twists and turns and that ending!!! It left me absolutely speechless and breathless Theo and Emmie are definitely in a league all of their own ! I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
"We’ve got disaster written all over us, but I can’t stop craving her."
Wow! what an emotional roller-coaster with these too. The drama, lies, hate, lust never seems to end! I adore Tracy's writing and these stories she has created. I am very invested in all these characters. I can't get enough. Thank you!
Emmie finally gets the answers she was looking for but at what cost? Her whole life has been turned upside down so quickly. She keeps fighting the attraction to Theo but is it really worth it? When she will always be his whether she can talk away or not even if it breaks her heart. All she wants is someone to fight for her.
Theo finally opens himself up to Emmie and she still turns her back from him. I can't get over how much he loves her even if he himself doesn't know it yet. All this man wants is someone to love him and see him for who he really is and not his name. All he wants is that to be Emmie.
They're exactly what they both need but if only they both could push past the lies and hurt. Their relationship is so toxic but when things do work for them it's too perfect. They're both too stubborn to let anyone in because of their past traumas. I rooting for these two, I'm just not sure yet how it will end. I am also so happy about how Emmie got more of a connection with her family and learned about her new family member. The relationship between her and her new cousin makes me so happy for both of them. ( if you want to know who it is read the book you will not be disappointed, " I want to make this review spoiler-free")
That cliffhanger 😫 I need more asap! I can't wait to see what will happen next for Emmie and Theo. Deviant Reign can't come soon enough.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
I should have known better than to play with fire... I'd been burned by Theo Crillo enough to know that I should have seen this coming. He loved to show me his merciless side, but I couldn't stay away from the deviant even if wanted to. A prisoner of my own making, playing a game without knowing all the rules. Until the lies he'd been telling, the secrets he'd be keeping began to unravel around us. He's the only person I trusted with the truth about my past, but my confession was all for nothing. He never cared. He already knew. He was only manipulating me. Using me. I was nothing more than a job. A nut he had to crack. And he split me right open, but he's about to get a shock because I'm not the kind of girl to roll over and take it. I'm Emmie Ramsey. And I'm about to make him pay for ever trying to play me.
This is the second book in Emmie and Theo's trilogy. You need to read Deviant Knight or you are going to be lost. If there have ever been two opposites in this world they are Theo and Emmie. Opposites in almost everything. Insecurities, reaction and they way they both process their feelings. I can't think of two more opposite people ever. That though does not stop the obvious attraction they have going on. That said, there is a lot going on in this book. There are a lot of revelations, a few twist and turns you will never see coming and you get to see what I thought were different sides to Emmie and Theo. I loved every second of this book and couldn't lay it down. But since it is the second book in their trilogy you should expect a cliffhanger and oh what a one it is. I need the third book in my hands right now!!
This is book 5 in the Knights Ridge Empire series and I absolutely love the characters that Tracy is bringing us. I'm absolutely loving these 3 set trilogy that Tracy is giving us with a different couple each time.
This book picks up right where the last ended and jumps right in. Theo and Emmies story continues and Emmie is in trouble. She is a very strong and sassy chick that won't let Theo baby her, she knows she tough enough to take care of herself but sometimes she does need him and her pops. But Theo is very protective over her to the point hes quite obsessive. They both defy one another and both deny there feeling to the point that it's breaking them and after the shock every things up I'm the air.
I'm absolutely loving these characters in This world and the way that this author has created the world. I'm loving seeing how this author has developed these characters and how real she has made This group of guys and gals. I also loved Emmies dad and Cruz too. This book will rock your world and you will love reading about this couple. Emmie always put Theo in his place and he challenged her right back until my pages were sizzling. The suspense is high and This book is full of dark twists and the hot chemistry between these two is HOT!!
This book is non stop and I am loving these mafia books. This book will keep you gripped and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Once you are on This world, Knights Ridge Empire you won't be going no where. I highly recommend this nail biting series that is full of suspense.
This author writes amazing and I highly recommend that everyone starts this series. I highly recommend reading these books in order to be able to follow all these characters.
“I lie there, my chest heaving, my body begging me to give him what he wants while my brain screams that I have to get out, that I need to get away from him before I become a lost cause. He’s my weakness. My fucking kryptonite.”
Captivating! Nooo, Ms Lorraine leaves us hanging on another steep cliffs edge. I’m loving this series it has a brilliant storyline, that’s jam packed with twists and turns. Emmie is a feisty, take no sh*t kind of girl, but she’s also lonely. I’m amazed by the interesting characters that have so many dimensions. You’ll be cursing and screaming “don’t do it Emmie” as she gets lost and seeks answers in all the wrong places. Will Theo be her dark knight and save her from herself or is he her downfall.
Theo and Emmie are smouldering, the hate sex is filthy. Life changing secrets are revealed and everything comes at a cost, some are just higher than others. Emmie finds herself caught in the middle of the mafia, reapers and wolves. Theo is psychotic, possessive and a control freak, he offers Emmie his own form of protection but she finds it stifling. She is a tiny cyclone leaving chaos in her path with no intention of being dominated and living under his rule. With a plan in place, she enacts her own form of warfare. Theo doesn’t give up so easily and will stops at nothing to get the girl, but does he actually get the girl?
DEVIANT PRINCESS by Tracy Lorraine is book 5 in the Knight's Ridge Empire. This continues the story of Emmie Ramsey and Theodore Cirillo ‘Theo'. So you should read the previous book 'Deviant Knight' book 4 in this series. I have read the other books and I do think it is wise to do so but really going forward in Emmie and Theo's story you just need to read the previous book. The other three books they where secondary characters. Theo has turned to being very protective of Emmie even doing something that Emmie having a hard time with all in the name of protection. Emmie is used to being her own savior and fighting her own battles. Theo has a hard time showing his feeling I thought be his actions tried to do so which make him a more loving character to me. Emmie for me seem to turn more bratty because of her unwillingness to except that someone wanted to help fight her battles. Their story just keeps getting better. I can't wait for the next installment.
Theo and Emmies story continues as Theo keeps Emmie at his flat in order to keep her safe and also to get through to her. She's angry that he's kept secrets from her about their arranged marriage and about her mother. Theo earns some points with Emmie by taking her to see her mom and by opening up a little but it's not enough. Emmie finds a way to escape at the new year's eve party by using a burner phone much to Theo's shock and dismay. They both go through withdrawal. Emmie once again escapes Theo after hooking up at school. She's so distraught that she seeks to escape it with drugs from Dax who she hallucinates to be Theo. Theo tracks her and shoots Dax but Emmie gets in the way and the story ends on a cliffhanger.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Deviant Knight left us with so many questions but Deviant Princess allows Emmie to get some of the answers she needs but is it enough and what will it cost her? Our Biker Princess fights against her feelings for Theo, but when he finally opens himself up to her will she regret turning away from him? The love Theo has for Em is heart wrenching, even if he can’t see it for himself, he just needs someone to see the real him, and damn if that isn’t Emmie. Their chemistry is electric and they were always so in sync when it came to their sexy times, they were able to feed off one another and know exactly what the other needs… it was damn HOT to read These two are as stubborn as it gets but I am so rooting for their HEA.. bring on DEVIANT REIGN
BUT TRACY… THE CLIFFHANGER.. why you gotta do us dirty like that?
The craziest secrets finally got answers but holy cow are there more questions! I love the side of Theo that no one gets to see but Emmie is starting to make me question what’s really up or down. I’m really enjoying watching the prince of the Cerillo family fall and fight to get back up and claim what his heart wants so bad. Sooo many emotions and choices being made without thinking what their hearts really want. But man that cliff leaves you desperate for more!
Gah! Tracy Lorraine, you are the most wicked and the most deviant author I am a hopeless fan of. Your cliffhangers are epically brutal. What the heck am I supposed to do now? Just as I was utterly engrossed in Theo and Emmie’s heartbreaking yet beautifully Romeo and Juliet-esque love story, you pulled the rug under me. As always, the complexity of the plot and the hidden truths were exquisite and I am hoping for the last book of the trilogy to come sooner rather than later.
I absolutely love Emmie and Theo! I cannot get enough of their story. The angst between these two has carried on from the first book and dare I say has gotten even more so. These two really go through it in this book and Emmie made a decision that had my heart absolutely hurting! I want so bad for their lives to just get easier and to figure out a way to make it work! The cliff hangers at the end of these books continues and has me immediately running for the next one.
Holy moly! If I thought the first part of Theo and Emmie’s story was wild, this has nothing on that. Everything gets more complicated and twisty and the secrets and lies are too much at times. But I couldn’t help but see the change in Theo and how much he needed Emmie. It’s crazy but they work. The way this ends is just another mindf**k and I can’t wait for their conclusion.
I feel like it showed more into the depth of their characters which was kinda lacking in the last book. but damn the last chapter ruined it all 😬 STUPID.STUPID EMMIE!! 😬 I just don’t like her, she’s too over dramatic. Plus she needs to stop lusting after every other guy. 🙄
There is something about Theo and Emmie's story. The push and pull between them is keeps the story going. With Theo being the one to want more and not Emmie.
They blamed Theo for everything and my heart broke for him Like his best friends turned their backs on him and he was litteraly destroying himself with guilt and Emmie dude she litteraly disappointed me with her acts I get she didn't believe him anymore but when she ran from him and in her pov she always were saying how much she hated him and stuff like that In some moments i felt sick And that last ch why she did that She even said this feels wrong but she still took pill and "hooked up" with another dude Like what did she expect would happend when Theo found out And the stupidity she did in that cliffy LIKE WHAT why would you jump in front of a bullet when you know he already fired it The fuckk
I saw someone said in other review "I don't think they can come back after that" "I'm scared that they taken it to far fo come back"
LITTERALLY LIKE THEY ALREADY HATED THEO(EVEN HIS BEST FRIENDS TURNED THEIR BACKS AT HIM) HE LITTERALY GOT PUNCHED IN EVERY CHAPTER WHERE HE HAD POV AFTER SHE RUN AWAY
LIKE how could they come back after that She litterally hated him and now she jumped before the bullet that he fired Litterally she won't ever forgive him and her dad and uncle are going to kill him
And Theo how much guilt he will have My poor baby omg
My theory for the third book is that he will send her divorce papers that she needs to sign Because he will probably think that he isn't good for her because he litterally injured her So I think he will be the one who puts stop to whatever they have even if that means breaking his heart. Because that boy loves her so much
I would love that theory because that will make him so much selfless because she always said he is selfish And he would love her to be happy even if that meant without him
My poor Theo Like from that cliffy you can't come back Fuck I miss first book
