Disgraced

This cover is pretty bad. Mostly because it looks like two dudes hugging. This is NOT an M/M book. I actually think the tattooed one is supposed to be a woman like the heroine in the book. Unfortunately, as a friend pointed out, she appears to be sporting some wicked sideburns. So not a great cover, but don't let that deter you as the book was AWESOME!

I had to go back and check because I was SURE I had read at least one book by this author previously but low and behold I had not! Clearly, that is an oversight I will be correcting in the very near future.

I LOVED this book. The writing was fantastic, and the plot was engaging. The pace was (mostly) spot on. It was sexy and dirty. It had twists and turns. It had action. It had angst. It had drama. It had secrets. It had interesting secondary characters. Sofia and Raphael from Dishonorable feature somewhat in it. I haven't read that book YET but if you have then I am sure you know that the hero of this book is Raphael's twin brother and the heroine is Sofia's sister. We also get a brief glimpse at Raphael and Damon's brother Zach. Call me intrigued to read more about him.



Both main characters were extremely likable. I did think that Lina came across a bit...too stupid to live naive at times. Especially concerning her interactions with the Russian mob but I found her an enjoyable heroine for the most part. Damon...now Damon was HOT. He was Dominate and angry and spanky. All things I love in a hero.

So like I said I enjoyed this one. It was just about a 5-Star read. I did find that after the BIG drama the book dragged a little for me. Probably the last 20% or so could have moved along a little faster. In any case, this still gets the huge two thumbs up from yours truly.
