Up In Smoke
King Book 8
T.M. Frazier
February 16, 2018
I’m a man without a conscience.
I deal in murder and mayhem.
I’m the best at what I do.
Frankie Helburn is supposed to be an easy job.
A means to flush her father out of hiding.
Simple.
Except there isn’t anything simple about Frankie or the secrets she’s keeping.
She’s stubborn as hell and the sexiest god damn thing I have ever seen, sending dark, dirty animalistic desire coursing through my veins.
She’s cocaine with legs. A f*cking addiction that makes me question things I’ve never questioned before. Want things I’ve never wanted before.
I might have her, but she isn’t mine to keep.
If her father doesn’t show his face, she will be mine.
To KILL.
I honestly don't know what TM Frazier does to make me love these asshole characters so much but whatever powers from Satan she possesses I never want her to lose. Smoke was definitely one of her more rough-around-the-edges Heroes but it's what made me enjoy reading about him so much. I really liked that he never apologized for how he acted, yet in his own way he could actually be sweet sometimes.
"I’m hell on earth. Brimstone and fire. Embers and ashes. I am motherfucking Smoke."
Smoke and Frankie had a very unusual relationship, um I'll just say association. After kidnapping Frankie to draw her father out of hiding that should have been it, kidnapped and kidnappee, nothing else. But Frankie's smart mouth and inability to make this an easy abduction for Smoke draws him into her and has him never wanting to release her.
"I set out to seduce him, but in the process, I'd managed to seduce myself right into his arms."
Frankie was the best heroine to be paired with Smoke. I loved her strength and courage and it really showed through the pages that she wasn't just some scared girl. She fought back and that's what took this book from being just a creepy guy holding a girl hostage to a hot as hell devil bringing out the wickedness in his captive.
Overall, this is a hugely recommended read that is perfect for those readers that are looking for something a little darker than the usual sunshine and flowers books. It can be read as a standalone without spoilers but will have you itching to go back and read about some of the other characters.
