Just another sexy read🌶️🌶️

⭐️Overall rating: 4/5:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Now this author has been a hidden gem to me. She constantly makes the male character an anti-hero and the female is always someone he’s willing to burn the world for. This story is about a criminal that owns his own empire but isn’t satisfied enough. He wants the skull kings power too. So he tries to find the skull kings weakness and realizes he has a daughter he hasn’t spoken to in years. Before he plans his great scheme he goes to meet this girl. Little did he know he would be so turned on by her he would t be able to handle himself. Soon the power isn’t all he wants… he wants her too.

Definitely a good sexy read that is so good you literally can’t stop reading!
