THE STORY:CARNAL DESIRE continues where Severed Angel left off. Eve is going home to her young daughter, not knowing that Satan is following close behind. Closer than she ever thought possible. Angel is frantic to get to Eve before Satan can hurt her or her daughter and mother. The race to protect Eve ends with her and her daughter moving to Australia to be with Angel and the Severed MC, but Satan isn't going to give up that easily. No one is safe when Satan is roaming around, watching and waiting for his chance to strike.Oh! My! Goodness! I cannot say enough how much I freaking love this series! CARNAL DESIRE is even more gripping and intense than Severed Angel. I was left holding my breath at times, my heart would race as the final showdown approached, and the love and passion is sizzling.I really liked that Ink got his own POV in this book and started a relationship with Elle, a woman Eve met on her plane ride back to England.There is a rat within the Severed MC, and when his POV comes up, we don't know who it is until toward the end of the book. But let me tell you, it wasn't at all who I thought it would be. I was completely surprised and shocked at who is was revealed to be. The final outcome of this man's choice is really heartbreaking, so make sure you have some Kleenex ready.A new member to the Severed MC is introduced in CARNAL DESIRE by the name of Justice. Luckily, we get to read his story in the next book, Severed Justice. So looking forward to it!THE CAST:Eve: Heartbroken at having to leave Angel behind, but needs to be with her daughter. Feels relieves knowing that Satan can't come after her anymore, but when she sees Angel in England telling her that Satan is now free, she's terrified for her daughter and mother. Moves to Australia with her daughter to be with Angel and have the protection of the Severed MC. Her love for Angel grows when she see how he is with her daughter and she knows that she'll not be able to leave him again.Angel: Terrified that Satan will get to Eve before he can. When he gets to her he insists, more like demands, that she and her daughter come live with him in Australia where he and the Severed MC can protect them. He doesn't plan on letting Eve go again and he absolutely adores her daughter. When all things are finished and they are safe, he plans on buying the three of them a house to live in together.Ink: Feels an instant attraction to Eve's friend Elle. They travel for a little while together after Angel takes Eve back to Australia, and they have a good time. But when they both arrive in Australia, things between them get more serious, Ink freaks, and does something stupid.Elle: Met Eve on their plane ride to England. She's wanted to meet Ink ever since she was shown pictures from Eve's phone. When she finally does meet him, she's smitten. But as her feelings for Ink grow, her past comes back to haunt her. When she catches Ink's betrayal, she's so hurt that she leaves him and the clubhouse.Satan: He's quite literally going insane.THE VILLAIN:Once again, Satan shows how truly evil he is in CARNAL DESIRE. But this time around, we see the true depths of his depravity. He is a truly terrifying villain to read. I don't want to go into much about it, but I'll just say that if you thought that he was a sick, twisted freak in Severed Angel, he is way worse in CARNAL DESIRE. Just a word of warning, that when you read his POV you may need to brace yourselves for it.THE ROMANCE:CARNAL DESIRE shows the solidification of Angel's and Eve's relationship. They are closer than ever in this book, and I absolutely loved seeing how Angel interacted with Eve's daughter. He truly loves that little girl and he plans on making sure that they all stay together as a family once Satan is dealt with. Their relationship is still hot and steamy, but this time there is a sweetness added to it that I couldn't help but love.I really enjoyed reading about Ink's and Elle's relationship. It's passionate, but also rocky ground for them. Especially when things begin to become serious and their pasts get in the way. It takes a little intervention on Eve's part to get them to try and fix things.
