Corrupt

By Penelope Douglas

Book Overview

Dreams might be a heart's desire, but nightmares are its obsession in the first novel of a dark romance series from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.

Erika Fane's boyfriend's older brother is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college's basketball team gone pro, he's more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than he is with her. But she saw him. She heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid...

For years, Erika bit her nails, unable to look away. Now, she's in college, but she hasn't stopped watching him. He's bad and the things she's seen aren't content to stay in her head anymore.

Because he's finally noticed her.

But Michael Crist knows the hold he has on Rika, how much she fears him. She looks down when he enters the room and stills when he's close. He knows she thinks only of him. When Michael's brother leaves for the military, leaving Rika alone and unprotected, he knows the opportunity is too good to be true.

Three years ago she put Michael's friends in prison, and now they're free.

Every last one of her nightmares is about to come true.

Customer Reviews

crazy good

I thought this book was well done. At first, I thought it was dragging but than I realize the author was building up to the craziness. Dark Romance especially with young characters should not be written by every author as it is the trend right now unfortunately. Penelope Douglas did an awesome job with this story. She wrote in a very professional way. The characters were all very individual but followers too. The story followed well. The almost ending with Damon and Trevor was crazy. Twist and turns. Whole story was a psychological mishap. I think one of the crazier characters was Michael's father even though he wasnt a main character. I am also not one for all the mask with romance stories but it wasnt too bad. It added to the orginality of the story. I might have yelled at some of the characters here and there. Thats when you know story is good. When you are talking to the book. lol
