Corrupt (Devil's Night Book 1)

Product Information

This thrilling account of the Watergate scandal uncovers the story as it broke. The gradual trust that built up between the two initially suspicious Washington Post reporters enabled them to work together effectively. One aspect became clear early on: people were making very specific denials of accusations nobody had yet made. A sure sign they had something to hide. It amazed me how easily they got people to talk to them as they uncovered the trail of money and the involvement of the CIA in the burglary and cover-up. In the end, the trail led them to the most powerful man in the US. 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. In any case, Rika is ecstatic to be accepted by Michael and his friends for a night. They hang out, raising hell and causing property damage. After pulling a series of "pranks", Rika makes out with Michael, only to have him reject her harshly. At the end of the night, she is crushed.

I pushed up, raising on shaky legs, the sharp edges of the wet leaves under my feet poking my toes as I walked toward the window of the garden shed.Up until about seventy-five percent of the way through, I was completely hooked on this story. Then, when a new light is shed on the situation and truths are aired, I found myself disappointed in the way the story went. There were a few more twists and surprises along the way. The sex scenes were admittedly smokin' hot, (even if I thought she should have been abstaining to punish him). One scene in particular was exceptionally erotic. Three years ago, curious little Erika Fane wanted to play with the boys, so we indulged her, and she betrayed us .There was no way we'd forget." At this point, it is my belief that Kai was inserted into the scene just to be Rika’s hype man (as if she needed one uggghh). Then Pd took a coffee break in the middle of the scene and something hard hit her on her lovely-incredible-writer-that-I-love head.

Corrupt (stand-alone, book 1 of 4). A suspenseful unfolding of a plot to revenge; greed, envy, violence, lust, deceit & in the midst of it all one of the best young alphas I have ever read! You can kidnap her mother, burn down her house, steal all her money and threaten her physically. That’s all cool. The one thing she would never forgive you for is if you don’t take her out on a date!! What if I'd completely corrupted her? What if she'd begun to like playing games too much, and the lust to play- and to win- overpowered her need for me? We want what we want,” he explained, the weight of his soft words meaning more than I think he intended."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.. 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. Michael Crist is top-3 best YOUNG alphas I have read. He is oozing of sex, manipulation, secrets, violence, danger, ruthlessness and corruption. Rika's body always TINGLED whenever SCARY MICHAEL was in the room and he's her ONE TRUE LOVE since childhood too! *dreamy*. nvm I was actually getting second-hand embarrassment from her povs. She would've cut off her limbs just to have Michael touch her, so HER NOT EVEN TRYING TO GET A LITTLE APOLOGY FROM MICHAEL and letting him touch her was expected. The reason women are scared to walk alone, live alone, go to parties etc, are because of men that do the things these guys do.
