Also Clay may seem a soft dominant man yet he has his own demons, fears and needs. Despite this fact, he always puts her first, even before his brothers. PDF / EPUB File Name: His_Pretty_Little_Burden_-_Nicci_Harris.pdf, His_Pretty_Little_Burden_-_Nicci_Harris.epub Clay Butcher is a dominant man who was born and moulded to run the district. His life has not been about anything else. My gaze drops from the pink insides of her mouth to watch her rub her thighs together. She's turned on by what just happened, at least her body is screaming such a truth. And I'm too tired, too horny, to think straight. Fawn has been through so much in her young life and is damaged. Clay helped her discover her worth and was all about taking care of her. Of course, they fall for one another, and things escalate in his war against her father. This book ends with a HFN since this is a duet.

Clay and Fawn have an insane connection, and I loved their dynamic. Clay is definitely a dominant alpha, and Fawn is a natural submissive. Clay was so freaking hot, and he spoiled Fawn in the sweetest way. He is extremely possessive and has major "touch her and you die" vibes. The sex scenes were so hot, and I loved the way Clay praised her. It's also...hard to enjoy a smutty age gap book when this story has all this “pregnancy from rape,” and then “miscarriage” plot lines surrounding it. It’s a jarring combination. I like dark books, but there's a difference between dark, and "heavy and sad" and this one is the latter. I loved that Fawn came with her own trauma. Nicci has this way of writing characters that are so emotionally damaged, and yet that damage becomes their strength. I cannot wait to see Fawn level up in the next book.Watching their love unfold and grow was absolutely everything. Clay has the dichotomy that I love in a made man: tough with the world, tender with his woman. Their journey to happily ever after has already been bumpy and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for them in His Pretty Little Queen.

For me, this book alongside the rest of the series is an absolute five star read. Nicci completely captivates you in her writing style, her incredible storyline lines and you'll be falling head over heals for the Butcher brothers all over again. Author notes: His Pretty Little Burden is part of The Kids of The District series but can be enjoyed without the previous books, although it follows a greater narrative and is the first book in a duet. It features a powerful Mafia Don and his endearing tortured heroine. His Pretty Little Burden has an age gap dynamic that some people may find uncomfortable. It is an epic romance story, with spice, and dark themes.

That's not to say there's not some hot scenes, but this whole thing was just so depressing that it made it so hard to care about the smut or the actual storyline. Triggers: hero is married (no sexual relations though), pregnancy, miscarriage, torture, murder, detailed rape, drug use, PTSD, and a detailed BJ scene with OW before they get together.

This whole book is really a major trauma dump. Hardcore trauma dump. It’s a lot of darkness. It was frustrating that Clay hid the truth of her assault from her, and it was difficult to see him positively for that. Even if he was just trying to “protect her.” Personally, Clay's personality is totally unexpected, alongside his marriage to Aurora I really wasn't sure how much I'd love this book but without any spoilers Nicci has created a dynamic that you won't be to resist. if you did enjoy this book, good for you, i’m not here to take away from your experience with this bookFern is submissive and naïve. She’s kind of a boring heroine, but she’s not bad. Clay is a typical dominant alpha-hole, he's nothing special as a hero, I like his brothers better, but he’s not bad, either. I also didn't realize this was a duet, so there is a cliffy. But with everything that happened and just how disconnected I was from the characters, I'm not sure if I'll read the conclusion. He nods to his desk, and I take that to mean 'slide up here and sit in front of me'. "Do I accept nods as a response?" I tease, using his words, and the corner of his lips twitch to curve further. I continue, "You know I'm not your employee. I'd like your voice not your nods." I contradict that entire sentence by doing as he silently commanded. Sliding along the wooden desk, I position myself in front of him, and plant my bare feet on his thighs.

stars. The blurb for this book says it can be a stand-alone – that’s a lie. You’d be very confused if you read this without having read Our Thing: The Ballerina & The Butcher Boy Complete Duet and Her Way.All the while Nikki has continued with the over arching narrative from the previous books telling a tale of politics, lies, corruption and the Cosa Nostra.
