Sloane has met the devil: a blue-eyed, Irish mobster who blames her for starting a war. Fueled by a deep seated hatred, he’s accused her of consorting with his enemies and getting his men killed. Although Sloane is innocent on all charges, Declan wants his pound of flesh, and with her as his captive, he intends to take revenge. But as Sloane and Declan both discover, there are urges more powerful than revenge—and when the devil meets his match in his sworn enemy, that’s when the real war begins.
Intense, dark, and searingly hot, Carnal Urges is a thrilling read from start to finish. FMC Sloane is vibrant and sharp as a whip, her confidence and sass making for some of the funniest exchanges I’ve ever read as she clashed with MMC Declan’s ruthless, charismatic nature. They regularly had me cracking up with laughter to a point where I would consider this one of the funniest books I’ve ever read, even with the darker themes. Although Sloane could be annoying at times, I feel she deserves a spot on my list of all time favourite FMCs, whilst Declan is definitely in my top five of book boyfriends. I felt a great connection with both of them, enjoyed delving into their stories and all the twists and turns along the way, and was utterly enthralled by their romance, which was genuinely moving despite being undoubtedly volatile.
