It was a fun read. I like this one better than god of malice. I liked the tension and plot better.

God of Pain features Creighton, a grumpy and quiet brute, gradually broken down by Annika, a happy-go-lucky mafia princess. I just love when these hard, savage men dish out pure violence and control, and then turn around to be the king of aftercare. This book truly is the embodiment of pain from cover to cover; through childhood trauma, forbidden love, betrayal, and via BDSM 😉In this second installment, we see much more tension built between the rivalries and some fiery action that emphasize the forbidden love aspect these couples face.

3.75!

So I still enjoyed the book, but I realized that a particularly kink in this book is it for me.

So it made a lot of the spicy scenes, not as enjoyable to read, and then after a couple of scenes, I just skip them all together. 

But other than that it was a great pairing, and it gave me more scenes from my dream couple that is coming in two books. 

But you also see Jeremy and his story kind of beginning in this book, especially with the whole kidnapping thing.

No, I am definitely ready to Jeremy story!
