Was archived after getting it approved, didn't get a chance to read and review the book but it sounded very interesting and I'm still keen on reading it. Will look at reading it on Kindle and review.

ARC for Net Galley

Carnal is the second book in the series. There is no slow build up with Sheri Krom's books. The moment you start reading, you are IN IT!

Cierra and Steven's story is a crazy, romantic suspense filled journey. Get ready to sweat and find yourself holding your breath. From the moment they meet, the chemistry is on.

Cierra is one of the most bad a$$ FMC's that I have read to date. Not to take away from Emma in Deviant who is equally amazing.

This story will keep you on your toes. I can't wait to see what happens in book 3.

Carnal was fast paced, seductive, and a bit thrilling. The chemistry between Cierra and Steven is 🔥.

If you’re into dark romance with action, secrets, spice, and a girl who can hold her own, then this is for you!

Although steamy at times, I was hoping for more naughtiness. But it does deliver pretty nicely.
Badass action throughout.
High stakes, intense at times.
Possibly where I had issues with it. Super fast and it didn't let up.
Lacked direction.

Carnal is a steamy romantic suspense novel that pulls you in from the first page. It follows Cierra, a deadly operative torn between her mission and a forbidden romance, and Steven, a man just trying to protect his sister—until everything he knows is turned upside down. The tension between duty and desire is done really well, and I loved the unexpected twists. I enjoyed reading it because the chemistry felt real, and the stakes kept rising in a way that made it hard to put down.

Huh? This book was zipping in all different directions so it was so hard to keep up. I got an advance copy to read and review so thank you NetGalley but I would have held off on putting it out until atleast one more round as it was really hard to read.
Thanks anyway NetGalley atleast it was quick.

This was a steamy, suspense novel that definitely moved at a very fast pace. I did have a difficult time following the story lines, so that impacted the experience overall.

I’m sorry but this was awful. Yes it’s fast paced but the million story lines and no clear direction is so prominent. You can tell the author didn’t take time to research and understand some of the themes and situations that arise from the story.

Listen, I thought this was gonna be just another tough-girl-hits-on-good-guy story… but nope, Carnal came in HOT. 🔥 Cierra is all badass vibes and inner chaos, and Steven? Major protective bro energy with a splash of confused heartthrob. I was yelling at the pages, swooning, and side-eyeing everyone like, “Who do I trust?!” 😂 If you love your romance with edge, danger, and a whole lotta “OH SNAP” moments—read this now. 💋🔫💣💔

A back and forth story where the main character is faced with a huge dilemma. It was well written and sexy and steamy. I enjoyed this title. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
