Grievous by Nancy Haviland

*3.5 King of The Damned Nutella jars* 

In a world of power ,betrayal and trust these are the first things they learn , love & compassion is sadly something they missed out on. The wanted men are always being targeted but what are they truly wanted for , something that even made their demons bow down.


Yasmeen Michaels was raised in the rough streets of Bronx as a child trying to get by Yasmeen had to grow a tough skin each time she was rejected by cruel fate and now as an adult her life was slowly on track. After landing her dream job dream job as a gallery assistant at Nebulous World Art Yasmeen didn't expect to meet the devil who rocked her world one lust filled night two years ago again at a funeral, no she couldn't have imagined it but now the secretive man himself was about to show her why he lurks in the shadows. 



"Guess that was one good thing about not having a family; never having to say goodbye."






Lucian Darius Fane a notorious billionaire but his notoriety was known for a whole different reason. Pain that's all he felt in his 42 years of existence but the one thing he did have was his brother , now that that was too taken away from him Lucian was a dead man walking and his demons were furious. Swearing raise havoc where ever he went Lucian left his sanity at the door but the only one whispering to his monsters was a raven haired beauty he couldn't let go of. Fast forward a few schemes later and Lucian has his pet or thats how it was panned out to be but how long before he looses control and finally paints the town red.




“You have never looked the part to play well with my demons. Until now."



Someone has to pay, Someone will pay but not in a way you'd expect. Not all demons kill , not all bullets hurt. 



“I am so far beyond upset. I am ready to take lives. I am aching, aching,” “to go back and wreak havoc on that city of mine. I want the East River to flow with blood in place of water. I want bodies piled in the streets.


It was the pain talking and his touches were nothing but gentle , a little too gentle and this wasn't supposed to play out like this. 




"He thrust his strong hips, slowly dragging his smooth head through her wetness a few times before pumping straight in. He wrung the most desperate sounds from her as he stretched her pussy. The jagged, panting gasps made it clear an orgasm was already hovering. "




My Thoughts In The End:

Lucian, Lucian you beautiful absolute being what did you have to go and mess with me poor heart. The ending people what was that about , I'm so confused right now it's really unfair how authors mess with our heart but it's definitely worth every single time. So I might have cursed the authors name every time the wind blew but it was nothing but love & admiration while I was doing it *cough* honestly to say I was not expecting the story to take a complete U turn would be an understatement but as always Ms Havilands wanted men bring something dangerously addictive each time, and her heroines are incredibly spectacular I was pleasantly surprised. Why the low rating then you say well I won't get into the could have and should haves about it I will say this Alek *from ultimate vengeance* had a lot more umpff *sorry Lucian baby* not saying Lucian wasn't all aloha but compared to Alek I felt he was more coke fizz then mentos & coke explosion ,you getting my point. Either way I can't wait for the next book and I hope Lucian truly shows the man that I know he is. Overall fantastic read as always.

Synopsis: 
Yasmeen Michaels’ first hours of life were spent nestled in a cloud of dirty blankets on the front stoop of an orphanage in the Bronx. Even though rejection and loneliness peppered her life, she still fought hard enough to step out of her past a free, independent woman with a bright future ahead of her. Darkness descends when a shocking ripple in the organized crime world sends a grieving Romanian mobster back into her life. Yasmeen wakes to find herself in a centuries-old castle in Romania; claimed not as Lucian Fane’s lover…but as his pet.Lucian Fane is at ease in his place of power. He unapologetically lords over his business empire right alongside his criminal one. But when tragedy dares to cross his threshold, Lucian is sent into a tailspin and soon finds himself toeing the line between sanity and freedom. With his conscience gone, and in a bid to save his city from his wrath, he plucks an exquisite distraction from her world and tucks her away in his. Only then does he allow his demons free reign.
Even as Yasmeen once more finds herself fighting to hold onto her self-worth, the draw towards the darkness soon becomes too strong to resist. Will she be able to hold tight to her new owner as he freely drifts beyond her reach? Or will Lucian surface long enough to realize he’s pushing his precious pet too far to allow for forgiveness?

EXCERPT: GRIEVOUS

“Up, Yasmeen.”
That’s what she thought. She shoved her arms in the air, and he pulled the soft cotton over her head. She looked down at the logo across her chest. “You went to Princeton?”
“I went to Princeton. I also spent some time at Oxford.”
“In England?”
“Is there another?”
“Not that could handle that attitude, no.” He gave her a warning look that she took head on. “Don’t look at me like that. Your arrogance is astounding. The girls must have followed you around with their panties in the air.”

“As I am sure the boys at NYU followed behind you holding their dicks in their hands.”
She grimaced. “No, they didn’t.”
“Yes, my pet. They did. Believe me. If you did not witness it, they were being discreet. I would guarantee hundreds of men have come on their shower walls to thoughts of you on your knees before them.”
“Lucian. Don’t be disgusting.”
He gave her an exasperated look. “That is not disgusting. If I were to see you masturbate, I would be enthralled.”
“Yes, but that’s someone you’re attracted to. I’d be all eyes if I watched you, too. But to think of other men doing it makes me a little vomity.”
“For masturbating to a mental image of you.”
She tipped her head and nodded as if it was dense of him to confirm.

“You are a strikingly beautiful woman. You must know men wonder what it must be like to fuck you the minute they see you. When I saw you for the first time, I was staggered by your beauty. I have never experienced the sensation of having my breath taken. You accomplished that without batting an eye.”

She couldn’t deny hearing she hadn’t been the only one affected like that made her feel great. But looks were looks, and they’d eventually go. “So your first thought was to have sex with me?”
A shadow passed over his features. “No. My first thought was to do what I have now done.”
“Have sex with me.”
“Steal you.”
Her eyes flared. “You thought to steal me? That night?”

“I fought myself throughout our meal. By the time you got up to use the restroom, I’d considered a variety of ways I could imprison you, right down to purchasing a small island and allowing you to roam freely but with no actual way of escape.”
He bent and kissed her throat before nudging her toward the sitting area. “Sit.”

She slowly walked over, trying to get her head around the fact that he’d wanted to do this to her two years ago. That meant Markus’s murder hadn’t created her crazy man, it had just prodded him out into the open. When she reached the loveseat and turned to sit, he was gone
