The Devil (Devil's Playground Duet) Paperback – November 14, 2018

While there have been exceptions I usually do not read books romances that are MM or MMF. Also I try to avoid books with pining heroine and a manwhore heroe who continues the behavior after meeting the heroine. Having romance books contain more or one of these things are usually a turn off for me. There is nothing wrong with them per se it is just not my jam. However I read a lot of positive reviews about this story, it sounded interesting and different and it was a Kindle Unlimited and so I was willing to try it. If I didn't like it then no loss except my time since it was a KU read.I was glad that I took the chance by reading it. I liked it so much that I bought it. It was not a romance which was a relief to me because it meant that the pining heroine and the manwhore behavior didn't bother me. I didn't care if any of them ended up with each other. In fact I didn't really like any of the main characters which surprised me but I was ok with it. I was not emotionally invested in any of them being together. In fact I want 1 of the characters to get what he or she deserves and that was not HEA. I believe that the author wanted the readers to feel sorry for one characters but I didn't. The only feeling I have for him or her is that the characters is just pathetic. Maybe I will feel differently after reading the second book.Another thing that surprised me is that it was steamy. Since reading MM doesn't do it for me and MMF rarely does, I was really surprised that I found it really hot. Also there was a good build up in suspense. I like the story being told from 3 points of review and way the story moved from the past to the present and back again throughout the story. The only thing that I didn't like was the cliffhanger ending. I will be reading the next book when it comes out. The only problem will be knowing when it does as I am not good at finding out when subsequent books in a series are published.

So, let me first start by saying that this actually was a great story and I’m giving the author her props on ability to make you feel as you are reading this story, that you are there...in the room watching as a spectator while a whole bunch of craziness is happening....With that said, I love a good story, but I’m also a fan of 100% honest disclosures. I don’t have any issues with author’s creativity of their craft, but be up front prior to bringing the reader in.I read the summary of this book but not the reviews....I don’t typically read a book based on someone else’s opinion, mostly b/c my opinion of what I want to read and what not to read is my own, and if I don’t know you, why would I allow your feedback to factor if I move forward with the book or not ( plus most folks tell you about the story instead of just an overall opinion of the book, which sucks!! ) I know already what’s going to happen even before I get to read it!!! Just being honest..summaries are what makes my decision.So if you want to read this book and want the shock your not expecting..STOP ✋ 🛑 here & start reading.......I love a good story and I will tell you, Damien King is off the chain and had me cracking up. Cain, I was a little indifferent with in the beginning and then by the end of the story he turned out to be a REAL dick.....Now this brings me back to my initial Point about the very weak, one liner disclosure statement in the beginning of the story by the author. She should have just removed the SUPER gray area in her Warning and should have given us the honest black and white truth letting us know that this book contained and was about two friends that are men and one of them enlightens the other about male pleasures and bisexuality experiences very descriptive details and scenarios of male to male sex that play a MAJOR factor in the beginning of this series...Although it didn’t bother me in the sense that I was shocked and was like OMG 😲 I can’t continue to read this, because again DAMIEN had me hooked!!! Another person may not be as receptive and forgiving, especially if it’s unexpected, not what they are looking to read, and the fact they have invested time in the story.. Adding a M2M as a lot of authors do would simply fixed that disclaimer.For the author I would have disclosed that this story contained this BIG unexpected twist ( which I will remind you was NOT no where in the summary)Other than that the story was a hoot, funny and crazy with the unexpected.. with that I give it 4 stars!!

Oh. My. Gawd!!! This first book is intense and will have you questioning everything. Cain and Damien are a match in so many ways and the cat and mouse game they play with each other is insane. I’m promptly going to go start book two now!!!

I simply could not put this down... its steamy, mysterious and surprisingly funny as hell.But also, DIFFERENT. I needed different and that’s definitely what I got with the deal, just maybe don’t go into this expecting a swoony lovey read and you won’t be disappointed!!

I don’t know where to begin ... this story went somewhere I had no idea was coming .... I’m speechless because this is not how I thought the story would go when I began. Now I have to read the second book because I have to know what happens or my head might explode. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and if the rest of her books are like this I will have to read them too.

Can't say much more than that.That was not what I expected but holy mother of sweet baby Jesus that was Sweeeet. Not sweet as in cuddly and wholesome, but sweet as in utterly satisfying.I went into the book not having read blurbs or much reviews, but purely on recommendation. And that made it all that sweeter! Every twist and turn was a revelation, not out of the blue but mindblowing all the same.Steamy, deep, dark and depraved, it ticked all my top plot devices and tropes that I am a sucker for.I need more now. MORE. M.O.R.E.

This book blew my mind, surpassed my expectations, was totally unexpected.From the morally questionable characters, to the sarcastic humor, engaging writing, original story line to the amazing plot twists and fantastic cliffhanger, I was glued to my seat through this journey like you wouldn't believe.My only critique... cringy sexy times.Otherwise, went in blind and it was the best decision. Starting book 2 now!

Ok. This wasn't what I was expecting, but it was a pleasant surprise. I start loving Cain and seeing him as someone who's struggles with bad shi* and hate Damien for whta he was donig with Cain and Eden, but as the story goes by and see an other side of the backstory ugh! I really want Cain to suffer... I'll just have go with the next book and see what happens. But I love so much this book, it keeps me going from start to end not bothering to eat LOL.
