"The concern dripping from him did something to me. I wanted to bottle it up like perfume, sniffing whenever I felt unloved."
This series had me in an absolute choke hold. I cannot get enough so have immediately moved on to Ferry's story and starting the next series. All four books were so fun, breaking stereotypes and had great mental health rep along with one of the best found families I've ever read.
Luck of the Devil in particular was my favourite, I'm a sucker for a polyam romance and this was done really well plus the larger storyline was all tied together in a satisfying way.

I’ve been so excited for Dagon and Dimitri's story ever since the first book, and while I was pretty certain that it would break my heart, nothing could have prepared me for this roller coaster of emotions and suspense.
My curiosity about Dimitri and Dagon was definitely peaked from the previous books, and I loved to finally get some of their backstory. They have always had this delicious tension tinged with sadness around them, and it broke my heart to see them try to make things work, to want each other over and over again, only for it to never be enough. Seeing them finding their missing piece after centuries of struggles and heartbreak was everything.
And Lucky… he just completely caught my heart, he definitely deserved all the love and affection that Dimitri and Dagon had to offer. It was so adorable to see Dimitri and Dagon work together to try and woo Lucky, and I loved their poly dynamic once they figured things out. Be prepared for some seriously steamy and delicious scenes!
It was a story that was easy to get immersed in, and I didn’t want to put it down once I started reading. The conflict and uproar that had been building throughout the series escalated, and seeing it play out was a real nail-biter. The suspense was thick and things certainly looked hopeless and dire at times. And seriously Lark, I still can’t believe what you did. WHAT KIND OF PERSON EVEN THINKS OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT? (Sorry, you’ll understand once you get there).
All in all, Luck of the Devil was a fantastic conclusion of The Reckless Damned series - seeing these men fall in love and find their fated mates was worth all the tears and heartbreak. Definitely a series to look into if you haven’t yet!

I just really didnt like that it was MMM. I just wanted the Dimitri/Dagon love story. Maybe if Lucky had been introduced earlier in the series and/or was older I wouldn't have dnf'd.

For those of us who were waiting and wondering about Dagon and Dimitri's story throughout the other books, it was so worth the wait!! Luck of the Devil was so sweet, with a beautiful relationship at its core. I loved the many moments of humour, adorable bickering and competition between Dimitri and Dagon.
I've noticed more and more MM+ books being released recently and let me tell you, I'm HERE for this trend! Dagon and Dimitri knew they were mates for a very, very long time. But somehow they couldn't make it work without a third. And how fitting for a guy named Lucky to be their linchpin. I loved seeing how Lucky fit into Dimitri and Dagon's longstanding on-and-off romance. The way they were in tune with what the other was feeling and what they needed in each moment was lovely to read.
So much happened in this book, especially in the second half and man was it a wild ride.

Currently drooling over the new characters introduced (teased!) at the end and counting down to Ferry's book.... who knew he was so hot

Please tell me this is a joke. Because I will genuinely riot if it’s not.
Is this author seriously telling me that she gave us the perfect set up for the most epic love story with Dagon and Dimitri, only for her to turn it into a POLY ROMANCE!? Like, I’m sorry, but who asked for this to become a threesome? And WHY??
It’s just so weird that there’s gonna be this random dude added to the mix when these two have so much history and pining between them.
I mean, I’m sure that my general dislike for poly romances is clouding my judgement, but still. It seems like such a waste for these two to have someone else come inbetween them. They could have been so amazing. And now it’s just… not.
I’m super disappointed and I’m honestly not sure I even want to read this anymore.
