Not for those of a delicate nature!
It hits on some very HARD CORE and controversial topics.

The things that Rafe & Alex go through is nothing short of horrific.
Their story is gripping and provocative.

Exceptionally well written.
Powerful, intense and DARKLY EROTIC.

The question is,
"Are you man or woman enough to read it?"

A very dark thriller suspense romance.
It is ingeniously written. Gripping and riveting. It will consume you.

Alexandra has been kidnapped (view spoiler)

This is not a book for the delicate psyche.
There is sexual and mental abuse. There is a lot of violence. At times it can be very hard to read, because the situation Alex finds herself in seems so hopeless.

Gemma James has written this so well, that you feel like it is you in this never ending nightmare.

You can not look away. You can not stop reading.

You physically feel Alexandra's hope for escape ripped away and her sanity along with it. Her desperation is in every word you read.

An Extremely Emotional Roller Coaster Ride!

The Devil's Kiss by Gemma James is a DARK Erotic Romance Suspense. Yes, I meant to make the word dark in all caps and bold.

I was completely spellbound.
The suspense kept me on my toes. The writing flows smoothly, pulling you into Gage and Kayla's world.
It gripped me hard and refused to let me go.

The elements in this story are ominous and sinister, wicked and conflicting, twisted and often frightening.
There is also courage, grit and daring.

I could not get enough. I could not stop reading.
My heart pounded and my mind was in turmoil. I loved every shade, tone and nuance.

What would you do to save the life of your child?
What happens to us when we look closely into ourselves and find our dark places?

Are you brave enough to read this and be TRULY honest with yourself?

What does your dark place look like?… (plus d'informations)

I had a really hard time getting into this one.
At first I thought it was just my mood, but after putting it aside for a day or so and coming back to it, it became obvious it wasn't me. It was the characters themselves.

Kayla seemed to have become a horribly weak individual who can't even admit to her own sexuality. It's like she has become an immature twit. In the first book she seemed much stronger. Able to deal with whatever it took to help her child. In this one it's like she has become the child. Her back and forth about ANY decision, including her own emotions, drove me up a wall.

Then there is Gage......His actions and his words did not mesh. Just a little open and ADULT dialogue between these two could have gone a long way. But nope. He just jumps around making snap decisions and acting on them. No mature thought given to his actions.

Then there are the conversations they did have.....
Which was filled with demands and disrespect on both their sides. Both acting like spoiled, immature brats. Neither really behaving like adults.

Ian was the most mature character, and I really don't understand his motivation either. Which means he did not really impress me. He just behaved slightly older than Gage & Kayla.

There are also some editing errors. Not bad, but they are there.

The flow of the story is off a bit.

Ended well, but...
All this adds up to me being....
Disappointed.

I have all 4 books in this series, so hopefully book 3 will be much better.

I admit I have high expectations from Gemma James. But that is only because I KNOW she can reach and surpass those expectations.… (plus d'informations)

I liked this one much more than book #2.

Kayla was a mess in that one and I almost gave up on this series. I'm glad I didn't.
This one was oh so much better.

Kayla is growing and becoming much stronger as she begins to accept herself. It is mentally and emotionally painful as she starts to mature and open her mind.

Yes, Gage is a sadist, but Kayla is his perfect partner.

She actually becomes strong enough to hold her own against Gage and turn the tables on him a bit.

“You’ve learned too fucking much from me.”

Payback time in the bedroom!

I lost respect for Kayla's character in book 2. She redeemed herself in this book.

Ms. James definitely knows how to write Hot, Steamy, Naughty, Mind Blowing, Down-&-Dirty Adult sex scenes.

There was one section where it looked like Kayla was losing her courage that irritated me. I also found 1 typo. Other than that I can't think of any negatives.

The story and writing flowed smooth and I was at the end before I knew it. I went straight to book 4 without a pause. Without stopping to write this review.
I may have not breathed for a minute or two. I was that eager to get to book 4.

I highly recommend these books to lovers of Dark Erotica.
Just make sure you can take it.
Ms. Gemma James does not hold back on these books.
