Blurb
The second scorching novel in the USA Today bestselling Cartel trilogy from the smash-hit author Lili St Germain.
They say love conquers all.
It’s a lie.
Five days a week, I dressed in smart business clothes. I painted my face, and went to work as an accountant. But nothing about my life was normal.
For eight years I had been the property of the Gypsy Brothers Motorcycle Club. I laundered their money so well they’d never let me leave. My only glimmer of light was the man I loved. The man who had saved me.
Dornan.
His love had been the only thing that kept the demons at bay. But he’d become so immersed in the cartel’s brutal business that I hardly knew him anymore.
Dornan had been my salvation, but he was also my undoing.
Would he pull me down into the darkness until he destroyed me? Could I save him?
Did I even want to?
Excerpt
John’s poker face disappeared, morphing into something that looked equal parts lust and rage. His hands found my wrists again, pushed me roughly so my back settled against the tiles once more.
‘What do you do when you want something you can’t have?’ he ground out. His blue eyes were bright, a dead giveaway about the state of his mind. When he fired up, they spoke loud and clear. I knew because I’d been looking away from them for years, afraid that if I stared too long, I’d get lost in them. And I could absolutely, definitely, categorically, not get lost in John Portland’s eyes for even one second.
He. Was. Dornan’s. Best. Friend.
‘I wait,’ I whispered, my own convictions sliding away like melted butter as he rested a hand on my hip, just above my panties, and squeezed.
‘And then?’
I thought about the money I’d stockpiled. Emilio’s dirty money. My escape plan, for a rainy day. And it was pouring with rain right now.
‘When nobody’s looking, I take it.’
His eyes burned into me.
‘Nobody’s looking, Ana.’
Something inside me snapped, like an elastic band that had been pulled and pulled until it broke apart. I was starving. Not for food. For affection. For understanding. For the touch of a man who wasn’t trying to hurt me.
We came together in a frenzy, lips crashing on lips, hands everywhere. I pulled him close to me, sighing into his mouth as I felt how hard he was against me, only his jeans separating us.
My Review of Kingpin by Lili St. Germain
We may never know where Lili St. Germain comes up with these amazingly twisted characters or scenarios, but I can tell you how much I enjoy going along for the ride. KINGPIN is (to me) much, much darker than Cartel. There is a lot of death and tragedy surrounding Mariana in this one.
We do get to see a more intimate side to both Dornan and John, and I have to say that the more I see of John the more he stands out to me as a strong character. We’ve read about him through Juliette’s eyes in The Gypsy Brothers Series, but we see his strong devotion to his daughter and start to see the turning point for him.
KINGPIN brings us deeper inside Mariana and Dornan’s relationship. We see the heat, the struggle, the pain, and the hurt. As always, Lili St. Germain knows how to bring sex to the pages of a novel so that it jumps off the pages and leaves you panting for more.
Lots of secrets are revealed throughout the course of KINGPIN and wow, I may not have seen some of it coming. Dark and twisted scenes and intense action keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the book and keeps the pages turning. I honestly need Empire (Book 3) to come out now.
The queen of dark romance has done it again. Brilliant, dark, and oh, so steamy.
