Chloe is a seasoned drug courier who finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Facing a lingering and painful death at the hands of the Zeta cartel, Mexico’s most brutal organised crime syndicate, she persuades their enforcer to claim her.
Ex marine and dark ops expert Kyle Suarez is chief enforcer for the Zeta cartel. Ruthlessly efficient, he is feared by his enemies. When he claims Chloe, he simply expects to enjoy a well-deserved and disposable bonus.
Has Chloe made a huge mistake, or will her choice prove her salvation - and his?
Warning: This bad boy dark romance contains explicit scenes of dubious consent, graphic violence and sex. It is for adults only.
REVIEW - 3.5 STARS
Dark and sexy.... Yes this is a dark read, its based on Kyle, he is the second in command in a Mexican Cartel.
Chloe is a complicated woman, she a drug mule, moves fenced stuff whatever needed, until she comes to a cropper and is standing on a block of ice about to be killed or shared by a Mexican cartel lord.
Kyle sees something in Chloe and ask his brother for a BONUS, Chloe, and she gratefully goes down on him minutes later - yes there's lots of sex, BUT Chloe is never really forced by Kyle she enjoys sex it seems, plus she knows it makes him happy and she like making people happy to stay alive so as I mentioned before she is complicated but strangely strong in her own way.
I love a dark read and this book hits that mark. I like the progression of Kyle and Chloe's relationship, Kyle is no Mr nice guy, he never will be in his line of work but he shows compassion and affection towards his Bonus.
A dark cartel romance.

“You’re the big boss.” She looked up at me and smiled. She was dressed in a cheap cotton shirt and jeans that should be on the burn pile, but that smile was pure gold. This girl had guts.
“I told José he was a fool to try and cheat you,” she said. “I wasn’t part of it, and I don’t work for you. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
She’d heard about our policy protecting bystanders. Of course it doesn’t apply to anyone whose eyewitness testimony can put me in a courtroom. Well, try to put me in a courtroom. In Mexico nobody would dare accuse me, and I’ve enough resources in England to guarantee a police investigation would come to nothing, but it’s not my style to take chances. Solitaire would be going into the ground along with Escamilla.
“Mr Vazquez,” Solitaire gave me her best smile. “I don’t expect something for nothing.” She dropped her voice. “You’d like me,” she whispered. “I’ve heard about you. We’re the same.”
“Are we?”
“Yes, I can make you very happy.” She brushed my hand over her cheek and then kissed my palm. “I’m a very good girl,” she said quietly. “Unless you prefer a naughty one?”
She sucked my thumb, and I was instantly rock hard.
----------------------------
When cartel boss Arturo Vazquez discovers his girlfriend Gina is a DEA rat and his deputy Escamilla is staging a take-over, Arturo fixes his problems by killing everyone - except for Solitaire, Escamilla’s unwilling mistress. Solitaire is intelligent, tough, and shares Arturo’s interest in BDSM. Arturo falls head over heels but someone is leaking information - and the evidence point at Solitaire.
Songbird is a complete and self standing novel in the Zeta series. Warning: This bad boy dark romance contains explicit scenes of dubious consent, graphic violence and strong language. It is for adults only.
REVIEW - 4 STARS
Dark, yes that's one way to describe the start of this book, I thought not sure I can deal with so much brutality. Then Arturo the leading man in this book and Cartel boss remembered how he held a woman prisoner for a month and turned her in a sex machine (for anyone) and I nearly threw up. I was going to stop reading then as how can anyone deserve love if they can do something so degrading to woman, BUT I carried on and damn it I loved Solitaire and Arturo's relationship.
Arturo is the boss and his brutal but his protective of his family and people that are loyal to him, I loved his caring side - the brutal side not so much.
Solitaire - she becomes Arturo's woman, she falls into the role easily and it's not just because he wants her, she wants him too. She has some memory issues which adds to the wonder what's gonna come up later.
I enjoyed this book more than book 1, just remember this is a romance in a dark world!

I could’ve strangled her. She knew it too because she stepped away quickly. “Touch me and I’ll have you!” she snarled.
“Bruja mala leche! What the fuck do you think you’re playing at! You can’t push me around!”
“Sure I can.” Her eyes were slate grey, the same colour as the sky, and just as cold. “I need help, and you’re going to give it.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“I’ve got a situation. I need someone who isn’t afraid of murder and mayhem.”
I should have charmed her, offered to help and maybe it would have settled it, but I was too mad to even consider it. “Help you? Over my dead body!”
She shrugged. “We can do it that way, too.” She took out her phone. “I’ll call you soon, hopefully within the hour. If you still refuse, I call Smith.” The eyes were hard. “I’d rather not shop you, because I hate that bastard, but I will if you make me.”
I gave her my number. I mean, I wanted to kill her, but in London they notice things like bodies in the street. Especially if you’re careless enough to do it in broad daylight next to a cop shop.
Quique is having a bad time. Back in Mexico his marriage has fallen apart and his wife has made him a laughing stock by cheating on him. Now he’s in London and finding himself out of his depth with a complex commercial deal. To make things worse, Natalia Truelove, a chef and pub manager, is blackmailing him. Quique is ready to commit murder and he’s pretty sure who his first victim will be.
Dirty Dealings is a self standing and complete novel in the Zeta cartel series. Warning: This bad boy romance contains strong adult language and themes as well as graphic violence and fully depicted love scenes. It is for adults only.
