If you want the hearts, flowers, and one true love kind of romance that is all nicely packaged in a big red bow, then stop turn around because KINGPIN is not that kind of book. But instead this book is pure raw, bloody, gritty, and dangerous. It is in your face fourberie and chicanery. KINGPIN is where hearts will be torn and loyalties will be tested. Where the only thing that matters is survival.

#Kingpin

Kingpin picks off where it last left off in Cartel so reading the first book is a must in order to grasp the magnitude of each vital characters in this series. Did I expect a happily ever after in Kingpin? Well, no but a part of me craved happiness for Mariana and Dornan. We all know that Mariana loves Dornan. She can't help but be drawn to Dornan and the power, control, and pleasure he evokes from her. While still being held captive by Dornan and his father, Mariana seeks for the day that she can finally be free. Free to be with her family and reunited with her son in Columbia. But as she wishes and craves for that, she still is held back by her love for Dornan. Her love is pure yet it confuses her because she should not want the love of a man who has held her captive and yet has saved her life. A man who has turned dangerous and volatile. A man who has killed in front of her eyes. A man who has blood in his hands. A man who has a darkness surrounding him. And so when she feels that the man she has loved begin to change, another man begins to enter the forefront of her mind. Dornan's best friend, John Portland. John is the antithesis of Dornan in every aspect. Dornan is hard, dominant, dangerous, unpredictable and controlling whereas John is gentle, kind, and compassionate. Torn between two men, Mariana must pull the trigger and decide. Decide if it is the love of Dornan that she craves, or the love of John that she needs to soothe her heart, or is it the love of revenge that will help her escape from her captivity?

"Dornan had been my salvation, but he was also my undoing."

Kingpin left me begging for more. I need more John Portland. I need more Mariana. And I especially need more Dornan. Is it wrong that I am drawn to the bad guy and yet equally drawn to John and his kindness? Ahhh...Lili St. Germain, do you see what you are doing to me? I am torn and yet wildly excited as to what wicked and devious plan you have in store for the final book, Empire. All I can say, Kingpin once again has wickedly and sinfully consumed me with it's raw and suspenseful prose. Ms. Germain has taken her readers down a dark, gritty, and bloody journey and there is only one way out... and that is to take out the Empire. So as I impatiently await for Empire, I'm ready for the carnage, revenge, and what awaits for Mariana? So can something so wrong feel so right? And the answer is yes, because Lili St. Germain has her readers consumed with a bad boy that we all know we should hate but can't help love.
