Her Ruthless Heart: The Devil's Plaything, Book 3

I need you to stop whatever you are doing right now and listen to me very carefully. Persephone Black is the undisputed queen of sapphic mafia romance and The Devil's Plaything series is, I am prepared to argue, her absolute masterpiece. I was in a reading rut — the kind where nothing lands, nothing sticks, nothing makes you feel anything — and then Eva Novak walked into my life and absolutely demolished me. In the best possible way. Let me set the scene. A desperate auction. Thirty days. One million dollars. And the most dangerously beautiful arms dealer you have ever encountered in fiction, standing on the other side of that deal. Her Cruel Empire hits the ground running and does not stop. A castle that belongs to nightmares. Villagers crossing themselves in the streets. A morally grey woman who wants not just your body but your secrets, your smiles, your stubborn unbreakable hope. I was not okay from approximately page three and I never recovered. And the audiobook? BABES.

I have read all of this author’s Mafia books, and they all have been excellent. The drama, the intrigue, the suspense, and of course the steamy spice.🌶️🌶️ My goodness. The stories just grab me and I can’t let go. The characters are so well developed and described, as some authors neglect. I like to know what these beautiful women look like. The passion just oozes from the pages. The suspense and mystery holds this reader captive. Yes, there is evil and bloodshed, but committed with love and determination, if that makes sense. I do hope this author continues her stories, as they are so worth the effort.

Book #3 is such an amazing and fulfilling ending to this trilogy. Every moment of it, every page is worth the wait and the build up to this ending. I love the writing, the characters, and the story. Please, start with book one and then let yourself go!
