The plot of Ariana Nash's *Violent Desire* really grabbed my attention, but I have to admit, the repetition and instant-love thing got on my nerves a bit.Seriously, the villain is called the 'suave man' THIRTY-THREE times before we even get his name… like, okay, I get it, he's suave! Keep telling me, maybe I'll actually start believing it. 😂Eric and Zaine were an interesting pairing, but they're dropping the L-bomb when they barely know each other! They don't even have a single sex scene before...

Bite me. Fuck me. Bleed me. I might've given "Violent Desire" a higher rating if there'd been a tad more of the above. A bit more romance and relationship development between Eric and Zaine, you know? It almost felt like Eric and Sebastien had more conversations and interactions. "Violent Desire" by Ariana Nash was entertaining, but there was *so* much happening. A ton of characters popping up, loads of world-building, etc. I would have loved to see more focus on the main characters' relatio...

DNF @ 52%
Holy fuck, I love Ariana Nash, but *Violent Desire* was SO FUCKING BORING. All the brothers were more interesting, dialogue-wise, than the main character.

But this is Ariana Nash we're talking about, so I might come back to it. Might not, 'cause man, I just wanna read Mikhail's book and HIS ONLY‼️‼️ (Okay, maybe Storm's too). If you're looking for a new adult romance book review, maybe skip *Violent Desire* for now.

MM RomanceVampire Vigilantes2 Stars - Bored to Death ⭐️⭐️DNF @ 96%. Yep, I'm ditching this book with 4% left because it's *that* dull. I just can't handle another minute of it. The world-building is the only reason it gets two stars; the action and adventure parts are genuinely well-done. BUT this is supposed to be a romance, and the romance aspect was a total snooze-fest. They meet, it's practically instalove, tons of drama unfolds, they're soulmates, blah blah blah. There was a single sex scen...

This was a blast! That said, I probably would've enjoyed it way more if I didn’t loathe insta-lust and insta-love with every fiber of my being, because both are basically the bedrock of the romance in "Violent Desire" by Ariana Nash.As the first book in a series, it’s seriously solid. Nash introduces a ton of interesting characters (who I hear will get their own books later on) and the main plot, which felt pretty fresh for a vampire romance. But that insta-love, though… 💀 I *really* hope that ...

Violent Desire delivers a scorching forbidden love story between Eric, a homicide detective, and Zaine, a vampire with four centuries under his belt.Eric is a hardened detective whose first, bloody encounter with Zaine sets them on a complicated path, one that inevitably draws them together. The tension? Immaculate.This was a fantastic introduction to...

"Sharpe was all kinds of complicated. Intriguing complicated. Alluring complicated." Ariana Nash does it again with another fabulous MM paranormal book to launch her new Blackrose Brotherhood series. Violent Desire is the first book in the series, and while they are all series-linked, it works perfectly as a standalone read. This is Zaine and Eric's story.Now, there are a few things we've come to expect in an Ariana Nash book: angst, usually a bit of a cliffhanger or HFN (Happy For Now) endin...

3.5-4 stars ☆ \"After this, I'm taking you away... A tropical island, I don't know. Nordic fucking cruise. Whatever. But there will be an after, all right?\"\"A bed of roses?\" Eric smiled, leaning back. Some of his bright spark returned to his eyes.\"Yes, definitely that.\" I've been a huge fan of Ariana Nash's works ever since reading the Primal Sin trilogy a few months ago, and I've binged all but one of her backlist ever since. It's safe to say most, if not all, of her books have worked fo...
