DEFY, by Sienna Snow


Violent Pleasures #2

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The titillating story between Sophia Morelli and Damon Pierce continues until another crescendo and another cliffhanger.  However, our wonderful characters delight us as they deal with some important issues.  Sophia is accused of murdering the jerk who at one time accosted her and later on ruined her reputation and constantly planted fake scandalous stories about her.  The funny thing is that the man had a long list of people who hated him and would have cheerfully done the deed, but the DA had a vendetta against Sophia’s father so she got the rap.

It’s interesting that in spite of Lucian Morelli having so much mafia-related relations, it was Damon who could finally get Sophia out of jail and on bond.  And then attached himself to her like a leach in order to protect her.


The routine of Dom and bratty submissive is fun but somewhat heartbreaking for both.  This relation is new to them, and they are wandering into new territory.  I loved seeing a Damon subject to his feelings and reeling because he wants to protect Sophia so much and she defies him at every turn.  I didn’t feel the suspense of a murderer running lose while Sophia continues doing her modeling shoots.  There are doubts and misgivings, Sophia wanted total trust from Damon and Damon wanted total control.  Neither were getting what they wanted and it felt like a love that was doomed.  


I would have liked to see more of the suspense and investigation into the murder of Keith Harrison.  I felt the book was unbalanced, too much kink, not enough suspense to warrant how suddenly the murder was clarified.  


I hurt for Sophia, who wanted someone to trust her and believe in her and not let her down.  And I hurt for Damon because he just doesn’t know how to be in love.  I hope in the next book they get the HEA they deserve.

Book review: KARMA’S KISS, by R.S. Grey

The best part about this book is that it’s a small town romance, and I love this trope.  Everyone knows everyone else’s business, gossip tra...
