Debts and Diamonds: A Dark Gang Romance (The Deana-Dhe Duet Book 1)

Product Information

Having us riding the wave from the many ups and downs they all travelled, filled with a lot of changes within emotions and feelings being discovered. Loved hearing from Cyn again we met her in Their Obsession Duet she was known as number 13 and worked for the Masks. I kept picturing her as one of their beautiful butterflies, and them cruelly plucking her wings off.

I'm hanging on by a thread about 2 hours from the end of the book and its a lot words and no action. Another thing I like about this series and the world that Bea has created is that it's contemporary with a touch of paranormal/magic which I never see!Cyn is a true healer but not only for the physical but for the entire human being and I think through her healing others she heals herself. I love the tinctures she makes and how she can affect the guys so easily but has so much restraint its not even funny. Fortunately, Bea has such a keen ability to integrate humanity and charisma into even the darkest of her heroes, and Debts and Diamonds paints a compelling, empathetic, and complicated history between these four characters.

There are a couple different kinks and some darker scenes, but nothing as dark or menacing as The Masks if you have read that duet from this author.

For every chapter or event in the present that they experienced, we got to see the history that sparked that turmoil for them. i’m not gonna do a summary bc this book was boring as shit and i don’t wanna bother remembering it but the plot was mediocre along w the characters there’s like no growth within the main girl i feel and the main guys changed ig but i didn’t care about it enough like the ending was a cliffhanger bc main girl got kidnapped but i’m not reading the next book there’s sm other better books out there. I love the ambience of this book, it’s very British, with all the grey skies, rain, secluded island and cold beach. Part origin story, part enemies to lovers, masterful game of chess, we get to discover these characters in multiple eras as we find out just what the history is between them all and what has led to the desperate, volatile, and dangerous arrangement that now exists between them. She makes me feel so much emotion while I read and I love that she consistently prioritizes her characters making emotional progress before any spice comes along, it makes the spicy scenes feel so much more significant and intimate and unsurprisingly I loved it in this book too!
