After reading the first two in this series and the synopsis of the next book, Iâm expecting every book to include kidnapping and lots of spanking. This one had too much âyes, sirâ from Sloan, who in the audiobook just sounded sarcastic anyway.Â

This book is ridiculous in the best possible way! It's out there and outrageous and if I hear of someone going through anything even remotely close to this I'd drag them to a therapist, but in the confines of this book it works somehow.
Carnal Urges (the title is ridiculous tbh) is about a girl Sloane and her <i>kidnapper</i> of all things, who she falls in love with.
Sounds familiar? Yeah it's basically Stockholm Syndrome: The Book.
The thing about this book that made it work though is how annoyingly cheerful the girl is, especially given her circumstances! I've never seen (or read about) anyone who's so unbothered by being kidnapped by a bunch of mafia dudes! Hell she even ends up having them wrapped around her little finger after on interaction!
Overall this is absolutely ridiculous but the funny kind not the I wanna claw my eyeballs out kind and just for that, if you're looking for a good laugh I highly recommend this, hell I might even read the rest of this series at some point.

5.0
Besides their relationship and romance, I also found myself pretty engaged in the plot. I had no idea where the story was gonna go and was pretty surprised at most of the turns.Â
My only real complaint is that epilogue wasn't what I typically expect from a romance book epilogue so I was disappointed but also a little intrigued since it hints at a future book and future conflicts.Â
