Past the prologue most of this book reads like a jealous/possessive readers fever dream. Cole is OTT possessive and I reveled in how delicious it was throughout. If you love tropes like br33ding, daddy’s best friend and an age difference (around 18 years), this is 100% for you! Hold on to your panties because this book is very hot. Safety - this is fairly safe, in my opinion. The h wants H to kiss her in prologue but he shuts her down since she’s underage. 2 years later she walks in on her boyfriend banging another woman. It wasn’t serious between her and the boyfriend and she’s pissed but not hurt. She’s “done stuff” with the boyfriend but obviously still a virgin at that point.

This book is deliciously dark with just a bit of taboo. I loved Fallon as a heroine. She’s tough, she has a fake persona that she puts on for the world at school, and she’s the perfect daughter of a mafioso. Cole is delightfully dark and disturbed, and he’s known for a while now that he plans to make Fallon his. This is a dad’s best friend romance, and he’s a little worried that his friendship with his best (and, well, only) friend will be damaged by the fact that he plans to marry his daughter asap. Halfway through it, I just started skimming through the rest because there was no point in the story anymore. By the end, it was just drama (really bad drama), after drama, it was ridiculous. Like, someone tries to kill her on her sleep, she brokes her unkle and almost falls into a river, then she gets kidnapped at school or whatever.. It was pure bullshit. We know the hero is going to come rescue her anyways. They're gonna kiss, he's gonna say "you're mine" or some shit like that and it's done. My point is: there's nothing exciting about it. It's like reading the same thing over and over again. The godawful cover! The guy on the cover looks like like an emo kid in HS, but he’s supposed to be a rugged 36 year old. One of my biggest pet peeves is when there’s a person on the cover but they don’t match the description of the characters.I’ll admit a lot of this is corny. Small town billionaires in a secret society that runs like a criminal organization. Members of the Savage Six are described repeatedly to be the most badass, unstoppable, powerful men to ever grace the earth. It’s a bit much and it definitely takes itself very seriously however if you don’t take it too seriously and you like Hs like Cole you’ll enjoy this too.

Beautiful Carnage (Dark Empire Book 1) Kindle Edition

The story does more to generate interest in the rest of the characters and desperately makes me explore their own stories right away. I think I see where Tristan will end up if I read that scene correctly of course. This was a kinky, romantic, suspenseful book! Cole is sooo jealous/possessive over Fallon. She is his perfect counterpart. Regardless of their large age gap, they were made for each other. Being used as a bargaining chip in her father’s attempt to reclaim his power, Fallon Ashwell has been given to rival and Fallen Angels MC leader, Anton Leven. Cause Cole keeps saying that boy(Anton) is out of their league so why bother to pretend pawn your daughter why just not end that lil shit earlier if that was easy for you.PDF / EPUB File Name: Beautiful_Carnage_-_Heather_Ashley.pdf, Beautiful_Carnage_-_Heather_Ashley.epub The hero thinks of himself too highly, is always boasting about how he's THE shit, or how cool he is, how ruthless, controlling, how everyone and everything will bow down to the greatness that is his measly persona. I like reading about assholes, possessive and obsessive jerks, it's entertaining. But those traits have to come through actions and not words, or constant mental diarrhea. Otherwise it will come off as whiney and pathetic. EDIT 10/14/22- I changed my rating from 4 stars to 5 because I cannot get this book out of my mind. I need more recs like it omg. So good!!! The age gap/dad’s best friend part here isn’t really much of a big deal. Her dad wasn’t super excited but he accepted the situation pretty easily. The ending felt rushed and didn’t make a lot of sense. Again, maybe it will make more sense as the series continues, but as it was I felt like there was still a lot left to be said.
