ahh... now we're at the ✨ threesome ✨ part of the review and well, i tried okay? i really did. i was traumatized from this scene from before so i tried exposing myself by reading this scene again and folks, just wanna let y'all know that sadly, my eyerolling-nitis syndrome was not at all healed. im so sorry. they put her through all that for absolutely nothing. they traumatized an innocent girl for no reason.

It’s hard to read a book with a character you hate because if this was my first time, I would’ve just rolled my eyes at her but I swear this fictional character’s very existence is bothersome to my very immature and very petty self. I’m royally pissed that I only get to judge her (in this review) based on this book, because of my upstanding morals (LOL JK that well is drier than me reading the horrible threesome)

Michael Crist is top-3 best YOUNG alphas I have read. He is oozing of sex, manipulation, secrets, violence, danger, ruthlessness and corruption. A look at what power is, who gets it, and what happens when they do, based on over 500 interviews with those who (temporarily, at least) have had the upper hand—from the creator of the Power Corrupts podcast and Washington Post columnist Brian Klaas. so as y'all can see i was appalled. i don't know if they were actually going to make her as their "sex slaves" but they were so vague with their plans so i don't know. and what's worst is that they literally threw a party right after they did all that to Rika and Will was like ehh ha ha oops sorry and Kai, well i actually thought he was sincere with his apology and as for Michael?? this bishh.. Hold on, just me attempting to feel any type of swoon or waiting for a reason to arise that would actually make me want to root for these two trash shoots. Any minute now, I'm sure.Dreams might be a heart’s desire, but nightmares are its obsession in the first novel of a dark romance series from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas. He cites Kevin Dutton, who listed the top ten careers for psychopaths: CEOs, lawyers, TV/radio personalities, salespeople, surgeons, journalists, police, clergy, chefs and civil servants. Politicians don’t make list only because their numbers are so limited. But in general, it’s everywhere.

And have I mentioned she’s so freaking beautiful??? Your eyes will legit hurt if you look at her for more than 3 seconds.To say Corrupt is a dark romance is a bit of an understatement. I was not expecting this kind of book from Penelope Douglas. I was intrigued, repulsed (at times) and completely captivated while reading. The first 30% or so I struggled with the story. I didn’t know what direction it would take and I wasn’t sure if it was the book for me, but I’m so glad I carried on and finished. Once that 30% mark passed, I was unable to put it down. The opportunity is too good to be true as well as the timing. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they’re out. Where was Michael? Tears sprang to my eyes, and I held my bottom lip between my teeth to stifle the cry. He was blind action, like a machine with no weaknesses, and that’s why Michael kept him around. He could stomach anything. Pushing up the sleeves of my lightweight sweater, I hurried through the front door of the Crist house and speed-walked across the foyer, heading straight for the stairs.

Whoa! "Dark deeds and bad seeds"indeed! If that isn't a substantial insight, then I don't know what is! Take that, Plato! I have to say I found it hard to believe,” said Trew. “It’s a nice idea to have a woman from a gangster family who becomes a police officer [the character DCI Jo Davidson, played by Kelly Macdonald] but the idea that one lot of heavily armed police hunt down a pair of their fellow armed officers, and it looks like there’s going to be a shootout between them, was – well, all a bit too Hollywood for me.” The reality, he said, was that actual police corruption was subtler and more mundane. My brother's girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. She looks down when I enter a room and stills when I am close. I can always feel the fear rolling off of her, and while I haven't had her body, I know that I have her mind. That's all I really want anyway. I wanted him and me and Michael and making something good out of the last three years, and I wanted him to know he wasn’t alone.

Erika Fane has always been drawn to Michael Crist for the majority of her life. It seems that she did something three years ago to him and his homeboys that has deemed her enemy number one to The Four Horsemen. How many times will I read the Devil’s Night by Penelope Douglas? As many times as I want because this series has become a favorite comfort read. Yes, I know it’s weird to have a Dark Romantic Suspense series as a comfort read, but I love the characters that Penelope Douglas created in this world. I miss them, which is why I find myself rereading them. There is a sex scene between Rika, Michael and Kai and even though that's normally not my type of thing, I still found it hot! But this is also why I gave it a rating of 4.5 stars) Understanding Corruption: how corruption works in practice‘ is a new book written jointly by the faculty of the Centre for the Study of Corruption.It tells the story of how corruption works in practice, through a detailed analysis of eighteen emblematic cases, covering bribery, kleptocracy, political corruption and corrupt capital.

Drowning Pool, Three Days Grace, Five Finger Death Punch,” I continued, “Thousand Foot Krutch, 10 Years, Nothing More, Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach, Bush…” I paused, exhaling nice and slow despite the way my heart drummed. “Chevelle, Skillet, Garbage, Korn, Trivium, In This Moment…” I drifted off, peace settling over me as I looked up at him. “You’re in everything.”

Since I just spent an obscene amount of time roasting this book (for real tho things got out of hand, I was just gonna shit on Michael and leave, I had no idea how much this book irked me until it was too late so I am so sorry for dragging you along w me🤦🏽‍♀️) but I'll try to say some positive stuff for a change Seven words to describe Erika Fane, Rika: Good-hearted, smart, determined, forgiving, spirited, trusting and impressionable.

Photograph: Martin Godwin/The GuardianBut I did now, and inch by inch, my skin buzzed with anticipation as I turned to open to the shed door. Safety Gang Warning: There is a scene in the beginning involving ow; however nothing happens. But there is a threesome scene between H/h and another male. I'm not usually a fan of this, but it worked for me okay here. PM me if you have questions. Trew became a lecturer in social studies at South Bank University before suffering a stroke in 2003. While recovering, he decided to investigate his case using the National Archives and the Freedom of Information Act, and uncovered the levels of corruption in which Ridgewell had been involved.
