About THE DARKEST TORMENT:
Can Beauty tame her Beast? 
Driven to his death by the demon of Distrust, Baden spent centuries in purgatory. Now he's back, but at what cost? Bound to the king of the underworld, an even darker force, he's unable to withstand the touch of another…and he's quickly devolving into a heartless assassin with an uncontrollable temper. Things only get worse when a mission goes awry and he finds himself saddled with a bride—just not his own.
Famed dog trainer Katarina Joelle is forced to marry a monster to protect her loved ones. When she's taken hostage by the ruthless, beautiful Baden immediately after the ceremony, she's plunged into a war between two evils—with a protector more dangerous than the monsters he hunts. They are meant to be enemies, but neither can resist the passion burning between them…and all too soon the biggest threat is to her heart.
But as Baden slips deeper into the abyss, she'll have to teach him to love…or lose him forever.
Includes Q&A featuring J. R. Ward, Jeaniene Frost, Nalini Singh and more!



My Thoughts
With this 12th installment of her famed Lords Of The Underworld series.  Authoress, Gena Showalter makes it more than crystal clear that her writing mojo as it applies to the "princes of punishment" shows no sign of waning anytime soon.

In fact, this reviewer would deem it a pretty safe bet that both Ms. Showalter and her luscious Lords, will be around for quiet a few more steaming, twisted, sensual, and emotion filled forays of demonic devilment.  
If book 12 stands as any indication of its creator's plans for its future.
With both leading lady, Katrina, and her leading Lord, Baden, thrown together by the manipulations of deceptive gods.
For reasons that neither are fully aware of.
She, fighting of for the lives of her beloved dogs, and he fighting for his sanity.
These two and there individual stories, lay quite the emotional banquet before the reader long before the two are introduced.

It is not until the two stories are allowed to come together, that readers are allowed to sample the full and complex flavors of lies, treachery, murder, mystery, sensuality, pain, and paranormal perfection that work together to make this story delectably divine.

This is a read which is built and thrives on its author's ability to up the ante at every turn.  Whether the stake in question be emotional, plot based, based on character interaction, or action.
There is no stone of exceptional story crafting left unturned in this book, or this series.

Reviewer's Note:
 This series is written as a collection of related companion novels.  As such the order in which they are read has little to no bearing on the overall enjoyment of the series.
The above referenced title may be enjoyed as part of its intended series or as a standlaone.      



Rage mixed with possessiveness and lust, heating Baden from head to toe. Steaming him. He closed in on Katarina at last, dropped to his knees and cupped hers, spreading her legs with a single push. She watched him, wide-eyes sparkling, but she didn’t protest as he moved between her thighs. Her breath caught as he leaned in, flattening his palms on the coffee table where she sat to cage her with his strength.
“What are you doing?” she asked softly. Tremors rocked her sweet little body. Behind her, sunlight streamed through an oversize oval window, illuminating the dust motes dancing between them.
She had used him. At the moment, he didn’t care. He wanted to mark her. Had to prove she belonged to him, and only to him.
“Your loyalty is to me,” he said. As he inhaled, she exhaled; as she inhaled, he exhaled; they were breathing each other’s breaths. “You need me to survive in this world. To protect you and our dogs.”
“I soooo don’t need—”
“Oh, but you do.” He slowly dragged his tongue between the seam of her lips. Liiiick. Tasting her sweetness, savoring it.
She gasped his name, jerking as if hit by a bolt of white- lightning. “I’m not doing this. Not with you.”
“You are. You want more, krásavica, so let me give you more.”
She shook her head.  “You don’t like me anymore.”
“I don’t think you like me anymore, either. Does it really matter?” He still burned for her. “I want you.”
She leaned toward him, melting, only to catch herself. She cursed his name and plucked at the collar of his shirt. “You’re too old for me. Way too old.”
“Age didn’t bother you earlier, when you were grinding on my thighs.” As she sputtered for a response, he added, “You’re too weak for me, but I got over it.”
“I’m not too—you know what? It doesn’t matter. You were a temporary distraction then and you’re a temporary distraction now. Despite our unsuitability, you can still give me an orgasm. One I deserve after putting up with you.”
He knew they were temporary, but her blasé attitude was far from appreciated. However, admonishing her would have been counterproductive to his goal: getting her into his arms, achieving the ultimate satisfaction.
She tangled her fingers in his hair. “You better give me the pleasure you promised me before I change my mind about this.”
There would be no changing her mind. He scowled even as he traced his tongue over her lips. This time, her tongue emerged to greet him. Flames of arousal spread through him, a blistering wild fire that couldn’t be stopped. There was pain because of skin to skin contact, as usual, but it didn’t compare to his need.
The beast protested. She’s our betrayer. She means to harm…means to…She tasted of mint and whipped cream.  She’s dessert.
