Debts and Diamonds: A Dark Reverse Harem Romance: 1 (The Deana-Dhe Duet)

Product Information

The Deana-dhe deal in favors, and Cyn owns them. And that’s how she ends up in their secluded island, developing a new potent drug for them. Also, Cyn being catatonic for a while after Faith's death didn’t ring true. Sure, that happens to some people, in life. But Cyn is so mentally strong, it didn’t feel like a fitting choice for her character. It’s also so extreme. A character being catatonic is boring in fiction. I think there could have been a more interesting way to show Cyn reacting to her ordeal. I'm not convinced this was the best possible storytelling choice. The HEA in this book was hard won and astonishing. Then to top that baby off with a primal chase scene… I’m done! 🫠🔥 I absolutely loved seeing Beast a bit. He seemed playful in this duet, but still his super deadly self. I enjoyed seeing The Mask and Christy too. I can’t wait to see where Bea takes this world next.

Tropes: enemy to lover, PNR, RH romance, dark romance, bully romance, fated mates romance, mystical romance Explore the societal pressure and cultural expectations that link diamonds to financial success and status I love the ambience of this book, it’s very British, with all the grey skies, rain, secluded island and cold beach. And it’s perfectly mixed with years of family drama and a little bit of magic: not only Cyn’s gifts challenge science, Arden has visions of the future and the 4 of them are tied by more than story, by a true soul bond none of them can escape. And boy, do they try. Alas, the final book in this dark, suspenseful, RH duet has come. Following that major cliffhanger of book one, the story started with The Deana-dhe working together with their arch nemesis, The Masks. This time, they have to set aside their differences if they wanted to have a great chance of rescuing Cyn from The Skull Brotherhood's clutches. And oh man, did the leader of this gang made me so darn stabby. I didn't expect the way that this story would go and I admit that what Cyn and Faith went through on the hands of The Skull Brotherhood was just tragic at best. And again, it made me stabby just thinking about Soren's character. I rooted for them to push through and cried for them at the end.There was also the case of the narrative feeling a little slow at times, as if there was no progress within any movement being had. Which is what caused my attention to wane in those moments. I am so happy for the happiness that they have been able to give to each other. They all deserve to be loved and cherished. They all deserve to be happy and that’s what they are together. stars. I didn’t dislike this book. I like this author, I love this British criminal underworld that she’s created in all of her books. I like her characters. Sadly, the Breakers weren’t in this one. But Grim and Beast were, and they were the best parts. But, I did have several issues with this story that prevents me from being able to give it 4 stars.

Furthermore, it is important to note that diamonds do not hold their value as well as other investments. While they may be a girl’s best friend, The showcasing of very distinct personalities between each of the Deana-Dhe had been executed well by Bea. However that didn’t mean everything was answered straight away, seeing as secrets were still being kept and mysteries were still to be unravelled. On the one hand you had Cyn trying to survive the terrible ordeal that she finds herself in at the hands of Skull Brotherhood, waiting to be rescued by Deana-Dhe. At last, we can dive into the world of Deana-Dhe and the enchanting character of Cyn. I’ve been enamored with her since we met her in the Masks world, and the Deana-Dhe have been menacingly swimming around like hungry sharks since we met them in the Stardom world. They are enigmatic, depraved, almost gleeful in the way they manipulate and terrorize others. I was so curious just what was behind their story and if, in fact, there was any redemptive qualities to these mysterious foes. Fortunately, Bea has such a keen ability to integrate humanity and charisma into even the darkest of her heroes, and Debts and Diamonds paints a compelling, empathetic, and complicated history between these four characters.

I was very dubious about the book and still found it rather disappointing. Especially with how the Deana-dhe were presented in the Academy of Stardom series. Hey there! It’s Bea Paige here, and today I want to talk about a topic that affects many of us: debts and diamonds. Now, you might be wondering what these two seemingly unrelated things have in common, but bear with me because I promise there’s a connection. As someone who has experienced the ups and downs of financial struggles, I’ve come to realize that debts and diamonds are more intertwined than we might think. So, join me as we delve into the world of debts, the allure of diamonds, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. wealth and success Review: Book 2 is an epic conclusion to the Deana-Dhe duet and starts exactly where we leave in books 1. Book 2 is written 100% in real time with very little from the past. It is written in multiple POVs and brings in characters from prior series within the world Bea Paige has created. We’re the Deana-dhe. Brothers in arms, purveyors of truths and lies, dealers and debts. Legends. We’re also human. We’re men who hate, who hurt, who bleed. We’re men who love.” But nothing is ever that simple when it comes to us. True happiness only comes when you’re free. Free to love. Free to dance. Free to live.

But if I’m the apple they never wanted to take a bite out of, then they’re the snakes willing to use me for their own gain.As well as displaying angsty-ness with tensions running high in certain events and situations they were faced with. Deana-dhe are twisted sociopaths and sexy as hell. They trade information for debts owed to them at a time of their choosing. We take a look at the early days of these debt traders.
