Dark Step brother romance, a game of cat and mouse. Colton is obsessed with his “step sister” since the moment he laid eyes on her. He’s taught her how to be his personal pleasure toy. Raylee can’t find a man that tends to her needs like her “step brother” but this time he’s gone to far releasing a sex tape. He wants to play a game she is determined to win. 

This book is base before the ritual, while it is a standalone it does connect to the lord world. As any book of Shantels is going to be dark and shocking. That’s what makes her books so good. It is spicy and full of kinks and triggers so make sure you read the trigger warnings. This book hits the dark spots, it’s a fast paced read and delicious. It’s just what you need if you are missing the lord world. 

While this one wants my favourite, so it isn’t rated as high as the others. There isn’t much wrong with it though. It’s spicy as hell, minimal plot. It is what it is and that’s why you read it. 


You will love this book if you love: 
🔹 not a rh, mf with a mfmm scene no mm interacting all in mfc
🔹  multiple pov
🔹 jealousy and possessive mmc
🔹 dark college/step brother romance 
🔹 dark and spicy
🔹 lots of kinks (check your trigger warnings)
🔹 set in the lord world but a standalone
🔹 fast paced 


⚠️Check trigger warnings⚠️
Kinks such as Degradation , praise, Voyeurism, Rape, branding/cutting, sexual torture, graphic violence, drug and alcohol use and murder

Physical, ebook or audio:  kindle
Pages or length: 219

definitely not as good as her other books in the universe and it had so much more potential though at the same time it was also shorter than the others.

I went in to this, expecting more than what I got. I will say that if I had read this book before I read The Ritual, I probably would never have read The Ritual. 

This is in the same world as it both none of the characters, that I remember, are in this book. 

This is very short and I will say this is definitely a lot of porn and a sprinkle of plot. 

Another thing I’m beginning to realise, is the roughness kink where you are hitting your partner or slapping them. Carving things into them is just not my thing.

Oh that’s really heavy in this very short book. It took me out a lot to the point where I didn’t get any enjoyment from a lot of the scenes. 

But I will say that I’m glad that Colton and Raylee their HEA in the end!
