Review: Crooked Paradise: The Complete Series by Eva Chance by Harlow King 5 of 5 stars

Crooked Paradise: The Complete Series









My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great series that is full of danger, drama and passion.

#1 Scorned Princess

Mercy thought she was going from being under her father's control to marrying a man in a business arrangement who she would eventually come to love which formed a partnership and forged the alliance between his gang and her father's. However, it turned out that Colt her fiance had other plans and so the night before the wedding he and his men slaughtered her entire family and Mercy only just managed to escape. With a thirst for vengeance, she goes to the Noble clan and meets Wylder Noble and his men Gideon, Kaige and Rowan who rule Paradise Bend but in order to have their help, Mercy will have to prove that she is not a pampered princess and is strong enough.

Wow - this was full of danger and drama from the start to the end. I loved Mercy and how strong and determined she was. She really was able to cope with the man's world of the gang and all of the mess involved in it. There was a lot of sizzle between her and the men in the Noble gang and I can't wait to read more of the series to find out what actually develops between them. Well written, easy to read and understand. I definitely found myself reading faster and faster as I just HAD to know what happens next. Contains some sexual content. Ends on a cliffhanger and now I really do need to know what happens next.

#2 Perilous Lady

After the traitorous actions of her former fiance when he and his men butchered her entire family, Mercy Katz has joined with the powerful Noble family in order to enact revenge on him and in the process to free the streets that were her home. But it appears that the Noble family heir Wylder and his inner circle appear to not be able to decide between kissing or killing Mercy. When she thinks about it, Mercy is having a similar problem when she considers the four infuriatingly hot and dangerous men. Whatever the decisions are, they need to be right now because her ex is not pulling punches and the biggest threat of all to her might come from within the Nobles family or associates.

This was a full-on book with twists and turns that seemed to breed their own twists and turns. If you can keep up with them and think you have worked out who is responsible for what you will probably be completely wrong as I know I was. I think Mercy came into her own much more in this book as she managed to be more on a par with the guys and was able to take a fuller role in some of the operations. I loved the relationship that was developing between Mercy and Anthea who was trying to look out for her more. Well written, easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content and violence.

#3 Ruthless Queen

Mercy Katz thought that getting revenge on her ex-fiance after the murder of her family would give her peace - however, now it seems someone much worse is after her and it's right on Noble's doorstep. Whilst Wylder and his men are still behind her, his father Ezra is not and shows his displeasure in kicking her out onto the street. She is now stuck between a vicious gang king and a psycho stalker whose only thought is for revenge and domination. Will she win the coming war or go down fighting together with her men who are firmly in her heart now? As her father's heir, she is determined to wear the hell out of that crown as long as she's still breathing.

Wow - there was action from the start to the finish in this book as Mercy battled enemies known and unknown. I loved the way she had to use her wits and contacts in order to survive as well as the way that guys all stepped up to care for her and make sure she was safe. Wylder finally became much more of a leader in this book and finally stopped focussing on pleasing people and doing what he knew was right. Through it all while Mercy had to be strong and ruthless at times she also showed care and compassion for her friends, loves and people which definitely went a huge way to getting her the support and respect that she deserved. Ends on a bit of a cliffhanger which means I need the author to sit down and write as I want to know what happens next! Contains explicit sexual content.

#4 Lethal Empress

Mercy Katz has claimed her throne following her father's death and Wilder is demanding his throne from his father but there is still a war in Paradise Bend involving a central crime gang with one of the lieutenants at the helm - him being Mercy's psychotic stalker. They have been given just seven days to bring it under control and stop the bloodshed even if it might involve a lot more in the short term - failure to stick to that timescale would mean that their own lives are forfeit. Mercy and her dangerous men have never faced a challenge like it before but the Nobles are noble for a reason and Mercy Katz is not just a kitten. Their enemies should realise that there is nothing more lethal than a creature with claws when it has been backed into a corner. So it will be peace by any means necessary or die trying.

This is the final instalment of the series and I will miss it now it's completed. I loved the relationships between Mercy and the four men who she loved. It was great to see them all working together as a team as well as how well Mercy was able to just calm them down so that they were able to get the best results. I loved the surprises from Ezra Noble and how they ended up. He was a very bitter and twisted old man in the end. Well written, easy to read and understand it was very enjoyable. Contains violence and explicit sexual content.
