Blurb:
I am the monarch of Manhattan’s underworld.
A corrupt king, ruling a sinful empire.
I wasn’t born to the crown.
Nevertheless, I wear it well.
Aislinn Granville is the Crown Jewel of my empire—my queen.
To my enemies, she’s my Achilles heel—a perfect pawn.
Without her, I am a wounded warrior.
A ruthless, relentless beast.
There is nowhere she can be taken that I won’t find her.
No adversary I won’t crush to get her back.
Even if I have to burn this city to the ground.
Excerpt:
My heartbeat is an erratic, distracting pitter-patter against my ribs as I take in the stark beauty of the man standing in front of me. He looks like the same man I ran from. Almost.
The same rich black hair and inky eyelashes. The same strong, shadowed jawline and high, elegant cheekbones. The same spark of intensity lighting up those dark, dark eyes.
But now there are smudges beneath them. And faint horizontal lines, like the silvery remnants of a shattered spider web, crossing his forehead.
Damon is glaring at me like an adversary he’s torn between spanking or fucking. There is yearning in his gaze, a faint glimmer of tenderness beneath his infuriated expression.
I like it. A lot.
The panic and fear and pure terror that filled my veins just a few hours ago hasn’t yet evaporated. Those intense emotions are still there, like toxins that have yet to be flushed from my system. I don’t want to be treated with kid gloves. Not by Damon King.
I need his intensity now more than ever. I am desperate to revel in the raging storm Damon and I create when we’re together. The kind of storm that deserves a name. Deserves to be written in history books for its power . . . and for the toll of its destruction.
I want the shocking illumination of lightning. The ominous energy of thunder.
I want to give and take.
Clash and break.
Writhe and shake.
“Damon.” I say his name like a warning. I need the savage who claimed me as his own. My savage king.
He presses a firm kiss to my forehead, his fingers lightly pushing into the hair at the base of my scalp. “Tell me this,” he says. “Is there any hurt I can’t kiss better?”
The throaty rumble of Damon’s voice is like a liberal pour of molasses on my frayed nerves. “No.” My nose is flush with his chest and I breath deep that scent I didn’t think I would ever smell again. Wood and whiskey and raw masculinity. So damn intoxicating.
He sweeps his tongue along the rim of my ear. “Is there any hurt I can’t lick better?”
The tension in my shoulders eases as I flatten my palms against his chest. “No.”
Damon lifts my chin, our eyes locking on each other. “Is there any hurt I can’t fuck better?”
My cheeks warm as I draw my lower lip between my teeth. Then I shake my head slowly, “No.”
He smiles that darkly seductive grin and my stomach flips. “Let’s go take a shower.”
I nod my head eagerly. A long hot shower sounds perfect. A long hot shower—with my savage king—sounds downright exquisite. By the time the water is running, my borrowed bathrobe is just a white smudge of bad memory strewn across the tile floor.
Damon begins unbuttoning his shirt and I eagerly reach for his belt. When he is as naked as I am, he cups my chin between his thumb and forefingers and tips it upward. His kiss is hard but not punishing. The perfect amount of pressure.
I moan low in my throat.
He growls in return. And when we pull apart, we are wearing matching lust-drunk grins.
“Do you trust me?” he asks.
“I thought you said I shouldn’t trust anyone who has to ask.”
“I’m asking now.”
The truth falls from my lips. “With my life.”

Nikki's Review:
Man, I am not equipped to deal with Cliffhangers! They make me fucking stabby. I’m eternally grateful that I got to read the books in this duet one after the other. I don’t think my heart would have been able to take it.
Oh Damon. You continue to be all growly, a giant pain in the ass, and sexy as fuck! I seriously can’t get enough of his character. I love the moments when his guard was down and you see the vulnerable side of him. He has insecurities like the rest of us mere mortals. Did I mention that he’s sexy as fuck?
Damon and Aislinn are still trying to navigate the waters of their relationship, all while the bad guy continues to creep closer. There were a couple of times that I wanted to give Aislinn a shake. Her constant need to run away when things get the slightest bit tough drove me batty. But that just made her true to her character. She’s stubborn, and it sometimes overtakes her ability to think things through. I really liked that Damon didn’t always just run after her. He put some of that control into her hands. Make no mistake though, he wasn’t going to let her get far. Did I mention that he’s sexy as fuck? I think like I might have said something about it. 
This book was an amazing conclusion to Damon and Aislinn’s love story. I like how everything didn’t just fall into place for them easily. There were lots of hurdles, and they both had to work at it and be truly invested. Damon had to work to gain Aislinn’s trust, and in turn, she had to learn how to hand over some of the control to him.
Of course there was a ton of panty dropping sexy times. I mean, that whole sexy as fuck thing, right? Damon is a beast...in and out the of the bedroom.
I REALLY REALLY hope that Sebastian gets a book! Did you see how capitalized that, Tara? It means I’m desperate. Wink wink.
If you like a grittier romance with an anti-hero, the Wages of Sin duet is for you!
Rating: 5 Stars (A+)
