“You can never understand what this man has done to me, for me, and with me.”
Seven years.
Domenico and Seth have been together for seven years. After trudging through blood, tears, fights, and painful compromises, they’ve finally arrived at a point where every day doesn’t feel like it could be their last.
Settled in their comfortable life, they decide to go on vacation to Singapore. But their romantic break turns into a nightmare when an old adversary appears, tempting Seth and Domenico away from the peace and quiet of their home in Argentina, and toward a new kind of future.
What begins as a wild goose chase could be their ticket back to Italy, but when Seth and Domenico step into the snares that have been set up for them, they can only count on each other to get through a reality so horrific that death might be mercy.
What their enemies don’t know though is that their bond is stronger than ever before, and attempting to tear them apart will bring destruction on anyone who tries.
For Domenico, Seth would walk through hell and back.
For Seth, Domenico would tear down the heavens.
Together, they are not to be f*cked with.
REVIEW:
You might have noticed that I’m reviewing less books these days. But when Dani sent me a request for this book, I instantly jumped on it. After all, I’ve read and reviewed every book in the series, and I loved them all. They are dark. There is a lot of blood, and lots of man on man sex. Oh, and violence. Can’t forget the violence.
Unshaken fits the format for the series. We begin with Dom and Seth off on a vacation to Singapore. What could possibly go wrong? They’ve been living in South America and life is good. Their daughter is now 5, and their son Mark is living in England with his boyfriend the ballet dancer.
Well… it turns out that the past refuses to stay buried. Literally. Someone is back. Not saying who, but it was a surprise. Then there is the double crossing by a former colleague. But what could they expect? It is still the same crime related group of people after all. This one delves into human trafficking, non-consensual sex, murder… and most of that is before you get midway through the book!
I didn’t expect the story to go where it went. I never thought to see our heroes brought as low as they are in this one. I despaired of them ever escaping back into the ‘real’ world. But I should have known that Dom & Seth had it in them.
The story pulled me in and wouldn’t let me go. I thoroughly enjoyed it right up to the last page when I found that ‘to be continued’ line. Expletive, expletive, expletive, expletive. Yes, the ladies hooked me again. I’ll be waiting impatiently for book 10!
I highly recommend this series and everything else I’ve read by these ladies. If you like a dark crime thriller type series with mafia bosses and lots of blood, severed ears and the like, with lots of man on man sex thrown in, you’ll love the series. Remember though, the series is dark. I’d recommend getting started immediately, so you’re up to date when book 10 comes out. The story seems like it is building to a crescendo. I could be wrong? But my bet is there will soon be an end to this story that we’re been reading along with. I’ll be sorry to see it come.
