REVIEW:
First off I should start with mentioning I am a big fan of this series. I have a soft spot for Miki and I love MiKa so to speak, so when I found out there wasn’t only a 3rd part coming but also a little novella in between, I jumped on the opportunity to read this one.
And I wasn’t disappointed.
This novella fills a nice little gap in how Miki’s mind works and it gives you some insight on how he handles and sees things and explains how he processes things.
From the beginning where we have some solid bonding between Damian and Miki and some talk I suppose that lays the boundary for Sinners #3.
Till the end where we share in the love these men (Miki & Kane) portray, we get a wonderful update on their life, how they are doing and how things are working out together with some amazingly hot (yet sweet) loving ala Rhys Ford style.
The little extra with Damian and Sionn shows how they seem to be doing works out nicely.It also emphasizes that they are both totally different couples while also showing the reader that together the foursome just works out with the way they are living and the connection that especially Miki and Damian share.
Personally I would like to mention the star of this story is Donal.
He waltzes in and sweeps you of your feet he comforts the damaged soul of both Miki as well as that of some readers (I tend to think so), confirming there is unbiased love in this world and complete acceptance and fills a hole in Miki’s heart along the way.
Author Rhys Ford sure know how to put a lot in a little story. She manages to point out and discuss different issues in this 70 pages read.
From how Miki’s mind tends to work to showing the solid strong relationship Miki and Kane worked out for themselves and the love between “Brothers of the heart” Miki and Damian.
In the meantime we are given a glimpse of what could be coming next while making sure the readers also see how Damian & Sionn’s relationship is there solid and strong too.
She also shows us readers about love and acceptance that doesn’t come from blood but from pure love.
Add to that some hot juicy loving and you are in for a wonderful treat that is called “The Devil’s Brew”.
This reader/ reviewer made sure to reserve a spot for sinners #3 in her agenda! Is it June yet 😉
