Reviews with content warning for Violence - Les Seigneurs de la luxure

This was really good, but dark. This is a bully romance and it basically is until the end. You do get to see a little bit of different sides of the guys, but it’s also all manipulation. There’s a background plot going on that’s interesting and I want to see where it leads. The other lot of this is actually ridiculous, but it was entertaining and makes for the “romantic” relationships to move along. This ends on a cliffhanger so I’m excited to see where this goes. I do like all the guys, but Killian is my least favorite, but the very end he redeemed himself a little, but the fallout for them all is going to be fun to read. This is DARK so if you don’t like dark romances skip this one and look at trigger warnings.

3 Lords in need of a lady.

Story Austin.
Needs help from the Lords for protection or else she wouldn't have come home to these guys who have mistreated her. She's being stalked by a guy named Ted. Ted is getting more and more violent and Story is afraid of because she doesn't know who Ted is or what he's capable of. Desperation and fear are the only things forcing her to run back home to the 3 people she hates more than anything in the world.

The Lords agree because when they see her for the first time in 4 years, they realize that they can't let her get away again. They're relationship is everything toxic and painful. So much history and humiliation stands between the guys and Story. Will things change? Will Story and the guys get a second chance or are they destined to continue hurting Story.

Lords of Pain is a dark/bully romance heavy of the bully and heavy on the smut. I love a good dark romance and Lords of Pain doesn't disappoint. I wasn't sure if I would like the guys at first but they really grew on me. They're all so different but that's what makes them fit together. I was hooked from beginning to end, finishing this book in a day. I couldn't put it down. The characters pull you in and you can't help but become obsessed. Stalkers, violence, smut, hot men, and a fiesty woman who won't take no s**t... what more could you want?!!! This has definitely become one of my top why choose, dark, bully romance. I can't recommend this series enough.

I love this book. It’s dark and full of lots of sex and some hard parts that could be triggering but I love the characters, I love the plot, you love to hate these boys and you’re routing for Story the whole time. Can’t wait to read the next one.
