I thought I loved Ruthless Creatures, but I LOVED Carnal Urges. I absolutely loved Sloan in the first book and couldn't wait to get more of her in this book. Her confidence and zest for life is something that had me drawn to her from the get go. I loved their story and how chaotic it was from start to finish. This was incredible

according to all the crime syndicates on the east coast, Sloane is responsible for starting a mafia war. she’s a high stakes target, so it’s only natural that she would get kidnapped and immediately fall in love with her captor, right (it’s not Stockholm Syndrome, she swears!)?
honestly, their chemistry was lost on me. all they did was trade sarcastic quips back-and-forth for a couple days, and suddenly they are more in love with each other than they imagined they could be with anyone ever? it felt a bit like a filler book that just provides enough breadcrumbs and foreshadowing to get us to the next one.
it’s a quick read but not my favorite.

Somehow better than the first in the series. Carnal Urges was a fiercely strong romance between two people whose wills could not be dampened, no matter how hard other sources tried. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.
I LOVE JT Geissinger so much and this was amazing, I admit I didn't take to Sloane in the first book but I really warmed to her in this one, she's a refreshing fiesty FMC great chemistry and tension between her and Declan, spice was just enough not to be overbearing and a substantial propulsive plot with lots of twists had me eating this up, I really enjoyed the banter and humour, love anything Geissinger does!
