Richard
My father needs a pawn as he plays King with the Irish Mafia.
Releasing me from the asylum walls that kept me from my revenge, I'm free to play a few games of my own.
Games I plan on winning.
The taste of revenge sits sweetly on my tongue as I watch her, Claire, my new obsession.
I keep her safe in a cage made of glass.
Safe from the cravings she stirs in me.
I watch her, my hunger growing with every move she makes.
Claire
He keeps me safe in a cage made of glass.
Yet, I never feel safe.
The heat in his gaze burns my flesh.
His hunger stirs a craving deep inside of me.
But craving a man like him is dangerous.
He's everything dark and wrong in my world.
He’s everything I shouldn’t want.
The only thing keeping his touch from my skin is this glass cage he holds the key to.
Until his control snaps and one touch threatens to shatter us both.
“You have made a right mess.” Richard’s voice should startle me, but it doesn’t. I continue my destruction as I pull all the dresses out of the wardrobe.
I ignore him as I throw the clothes into the tub and turn on both taps.
“What are you doing?” His voice carries over the rushing water, and I give him a quick look before walking back to my bed and dragging the quilts off it.
Everything goes into the bathtub, and I get a feeling like I’m drunk and the world is dissolving around me as I build my own. This world is filled with water.
All the towels join everything else in the tub.
“You want to tell me why you are destroying your room?” He’s right behind me, and I pause in my path of destruction.
I think of my answer as my heart pounds in my stomach. I can feel my heartbeat in my teeth; the flicker should be a warning, but I am drowning, and I don’t think I want to breathe. “No.” I bark.
This is the 3rd book of the series and sees missing brother Richard O'Reagan return to take his place as a King. And oh what a twisted tale this is! Things are never what they seem throughout the story. You may think you have guessed what is truth and then BAM! The story changes.
Claire starts out as a simple pawn in the mafia game. Richard is out for revenge and she is the means to an end. What he doesn't suspect is that she has a mind of her own and it will take more than a glass box to break her.
This is a dark, bloody story. Truly the underbelly of the Irish Mafia gets a spotlight in this book. I was not only intrigued by richard but also rooting for him to succeed as the story went on. I have a feeling the next book is going to blow me away even more.
You should start this series from the beginning so you can follow the story arc. Great read!
