He’s my favorite enemy. The one that makes me burn hotter with every fight. My adrenaline rush.

Huge and sexy as hell, with dimples almost as deadly as the knives he wields, I find myself looking forward to our encounters.

But when he follows me to New Orleans on a mission to take me out, all hell breaks loose between us and the flames rage out of control.

With the lines between enemies and lovers obliterated , we are left with a choice to make. …kiss or kill.

REVIEW: SAVAGE RULE is the sixth instalment in Aidee Jaimes’ contemporary, adult THE SEVEN DEADLY SINACORES dark, erotic, crime world series. This is Alliance member Gunner ‘Gunn’ Sinclair, and assassin Scarlet Black’s story line. SAVAGE RULE can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including knife play.

SOME BACKGROUND: All is not well in the criminal underworld, several of the men in charge of the most powerful families in America have been murdered, and there is a connection for all to a murder from the past. The survivors, headed by Luca Sinacore, have formed a group known as the Sinacore Alliance, in an effort to take down the person(s) responsible for the death and destruction of family and friends.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Gunn and Scarlet ) SAVAGE RULE focuses on the building but forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Scarlet Black is an assassin who, on orders from a person known as The Ferryman, is methodically killing anyone with a connection to the man in charge but Scarlett’s latest assignment has our heroine struggling with orders in the face of questionable validation, and the appearance of the man with whom Scarlet will fall in love. Enter Gunner Sinclair, a member of the Sinacore Alliance, and a man who is determined to protect Scarlett with his life. Sentenced to death by the Alliance, Scarlet finds herself facing her executioner, the man who stirs something inside Scarlet she long thought dead and gone. In hiding, our couple find themselves reconsidering the future in the face of their own betrayal of the people in charge.

The world building follows the forbidden relationship between our story line couple. For months, an assassin, working on behalf of the man known as The Ferryman , has been systematically killing anyone with connections to the Ferryman’s past, a past mired in death and destruction of someone he loved. Scarlet Black owes her life to The Ferryman but in the wake of some ambiguous targets, Scarlet begins to questions The Ferryman’s decisions. Gunner Sinclair, Luca’s right hand man and best friend, knows that to stop the killings he must stop the woman known as Scarlet Black but Gunner sees something beneath the cold façade of a contracted killer, a woman who is hurting for sins of the past.

The relationship between Gunn and Scarlet is one of the forbidden. Scarlett is Gunner Sinclair’s target, and Gunner is Scarlet Black’s mark but their mutual objectives find themselves re-evaluating their option, their futures in the face of their own demise. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters are limited. We see the return of Lucan Sinacore, his wife Carina; The Ferryman aka Gideon Black, and Maise Cameron.

SAVAGE RULE is a story of betrayal and hurt, power and control, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is intriguing, emotional and haunting; the characters are animated, determined and desperate; the romance is thought provoking and spirted. SAVAGE RULE ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 23, 2024

The moment I witness a murder, my quiet, careful existence goes up in smoke. I’m thrust into the world of Santiago Hernández, Central America’s most ruthless cartel leader.

In exchange for my life, I’m placed under his watchful eye. Day in and day out, he waits for me to betray my promise of silence.

The longer I stay in his world, the deeper I fall for the glimpses of the man beneath that handsome yet cunning exterior. The man whose possessive touch ignites a long-lost part of me.

But I should know better than to open my heart to a cold-blooded criminal with a laundry list of deadly sins and secrets. Especially when he has no idea who I really am.

Because when the lies unfold, he’ll discover I have a list of sins and secrets of my own.

REVIEW: WHEN LIES UNFOLD by RC Boldt is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, crime world, romance story line focusing on Central America cartel leader Santiago Hernandez, and twenty-nine year old, cleaning lady Lola Arias.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lola and Santiago) WHEN LIES UNFOLD follows in the wake of a murder. Lola Arias is the lone witness to a murder while cleaning her client’s home but when she is discovered by the people responsible, including cartel leader Santiago Hernandez, Lola finds herself a virtual prisoner, able to do her job, but with a caveat and security watching her every move. Santiago Hernandez struggles between head and heart knowing he should take out the only witness but something about Lola tugs at his heart. Moving Lola into his home is his first line of offense but when Lola charms and falls for Santiago’s only daughter, our hero finds himself falling for the woman as well. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Lola and Santiago, and the potential fall-out when Lola’s secrets reveals a connection to the man in charge.

The world building is complex. We are up close and personal with Lola’s past, her ability to heal when others cannot, and her love for a young child whose own past is dark and lonely. Santiago Hernandez’ reputation precedes his introduction to our story line heroine but Lola refuses to acknowledge any connection or the truth about her past.

The relationship between Lola and Santiago begins as jailer and captive. Santiago’s men have no idea why he has saved the life of the only witness but as the story line develops, there is something more about Lola that Santiago cannot ignore. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and interesting characters including her best friend Sabrina; Santiago’s six year old daughter Alma; his right men Nando, Gordo, Luis,Diego, Miguel: CIA agent Juarez; crime boss Hidalgo Carrera and Santiago’s ex Keyna. I am hoping the author has future story plans for Sabrina, Nando, Gordo and Alma.

WHEN LIES UNFOLD is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, abuse and survival, acceptance and love. The premise is dark, gritty and dramatic; the romance is provocative; the characters are broken, dynamic and determined.

If you’re in the mood for some killer homemade mojitos, can’t recall the lyrics to a particular 80’s song, or just need to hang around a nonconformist who will do almost anything for a laugh, she’s your girl.
