Empire of Lust

Empire of Lust, Book 1

By: J. L. Beck

Narrated by: Sierra Kline, Benjamin D. Walker

I made a mistake. At sixteen years old I fell for the wrong man.

Callum Torrio. Ruthless billionaire. Dangerous villain. My best friend's father.

At twenty one, I gave up hope that he would ever notice me. He’s twenty years older than me and an arms dealer for the mob. The smart choice would be to forget he ever existed.

But that’s not possible. His icy blue gaze, sculpted physique, and huge rough hands play a vivid part in my dreams.

Then one night everything changes. Every fantasy I ever had, he brings to life. Dominant and possessive, he praises and worships me. He makes me feel like a woman, when all my life I’ve felt sheltered and controlled.

But Callum has dark secrets and a past that refuses to let go. I knew he was a bad man, but I never would have anticipated this…

This dark romance is the first in a three-book series. It contains dark themes and things that may be triggering to some. Please avoid if you don't like possessive, controlling antiheroes.

Overall 5⭐️

Overall, I give this book 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I feel like there could’ve been a little bit more character development, especially knowing this is going to be a series. But that’s what has me hooked because I can’t wait for book 2!!!

Spicy but soft

She's a runner, kinda tired of it. The spice was nice but I was getting irritated at the girl. Kinda was left wanting with more of the guys dark side as well.

Main female character is so annoying

The main female character is so annoying, she wants him, she knows how he gets his money but everytime she finds out he does something she knows he been doing since she was a kid she acts like shes blindsided. Oh I want to be with him but I dont but i want him but i dont want him. Couldnt finish the book with how annoying her character was

dirty

not much of a plot but very spicy! can be triggering. characters get annoying at times.
