I have lied.
I have cheated.
I have given my body and my life to the man who destroyed my family and left me for dead.
I have killed, I have sinned, and worst of all, I have enjoyed the misery of others.
I have licked the salty tears of a father mourning his firstborn son, and nothing has ever tasted so sweet.
I have died, and I have been resurrected, a phoenix from the ashes.
I know I’m going to hell. I’ll burn in the fiery pits alongside Dornan and his sons for the things I’ve done, and for the things I’m about to do.
But I don’t care. It will be worth every lick of the devils flames on my guilty flesh to destroy Dornan Ross.
One down, six to go.
Prologue
Some people would call me a whore. A girl who sold her soul to the devil. Who let him inside her, with no remorse. Who danced with the monster who destroyed everything.
To those people, I say only this: I didn’t have to sell Dornan Ross my soul. He already owned it. And once I’ve killed him, maybe I can get it back.
When I think about life before Juliette Portland supposedly died, I think of the midday sun, and the way it caught the water, making a million tiny diamonds glisten in the Venice Beach waves. I think of laughter and first kisses, of ice cream, stolen beer, and Ferris wheels.
I think of how much I loved Jason Ross, and how valiantly he fought to protect me when the rest of his family were beating and fucking me to within an inch of my life.
I think about my father, and how whenever he was near, I felt safe, no matter what.
I think about my mother, and how indifferent she was to my existence, to the point where my father was going to take me away from everything, including her, so that we could have a life free of the constant danger that a club like the Gypsy Brothers meant.
I think of how, if he had succeeded, what a wonderful life that would have been.
It’s true what they say—keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Only, they forgot to add: Don’t keep your enemies so close that they can strike without warning. That was my father’s mistake. That was our fatal undoing.
When I was planning my revenge, I vowed not to make the same mistakes he did. Allowing the enemy too close—Dornan was VP of the club, my father had been the President, but he had been quickly losing control as Dornan and his sons outnumbered him.
I vowed not to make the same mistakes my father did. But here, now, laying pinned beneath Dornan as he fills me with his rage and grief, his eldest son dead by my hand and the funeral in just a few hours, I have to wonder if I’m heading down the exact path that led to our destruction all those years ago.
4.5 'TOTAL BADASS' STARS
Well I was wrong. Just when I thought Sammi couldn’t turn into a bigger tart, the author manages to convince me of her plan for vengeance and the believability of events. You see, I really struggled with Seven Sons. I didn’t like the way Sammi immersed herself into the club nor did I approve of her vengeance plan with revenge sex...to me that will always be an ick factor but it’s that same reason that makes this second installment so compelling. Not only did I understand and come to accept Sammi’s plan, but I am now convinced and determined to finish out the series!
So Six Brothers picks up right after the ending of book 1, where everyone is getting ready for Chad’s burial. Sammi is secretly gleeful and triumphant that she’s now eliminated Dornan’s eldest and future Prez of the club and sets her sights on the third son Maxi after he pissed on Juliette’s (changed her name from that to Sammi) headstone. Between rounds of hardcore sex with Dornan, heartfelt and touching moments with Jase, and a nostalgic scene with Elliot, Sammi executes her plans flawlessly.
I was already a fan of the author’s writing style, but after finishing this installment, I’m taken with how well the plot is structured and the smooth transitions for the sequence of events that makes the book believable. The one thing I didn't really care for is her relationship with Jase. I don't know if it's because I barely remember their connection in book 1 or if it's the thought that he's Dornan's son that's the biggest turnoff, but for whatever reason, I'm not enamored of their relationship. I would much rather prefer Elliot and Sammi back together but that is highly unlikely so I will just sit on my pedestal and wait for the next book to come out.
As for you author....
