Publisher's summary

Reyes is a man possessed. Bound by the demon of pain, he is forbidden to know pleasure. Yet he craves a mortal woman, Danika Ford, more than breath and will do anything to claim her - even defy the gods.

Danika is on the run. For months she's eluded the Lords of the Underworld, immortal warriors who won't rest until she and her family have been destroyed. But her dreams are haunted by Reyes, the warrior whose searing touch she can't forget. Yet a future together could mean death to all they both hold dear.

One heck of a pain.

I have enjoyed the stories of the LOTU, but this one was a little on the sick side. Still a good story but I don’t enjoy the pleasure from pain kind of sex. I know this had to be considering his demon, and I don’t mind a bit of spanking but this was over the top in some of the scenes for a sexual build up. I like the characters and the main story; I will defiantly continue to read the remaining books in the series.

My favorite one of the series

This is a refreshing, hot, action packed series that leaves you wanting more and more! I am Hooked!!

Romance and Fantasy

I purchase all of the books in the series and loved them all. The story is enthalling, the characters... well lets just say "NICE". I highly recommend these books.

Lovely

I have read all the LOTU books since high school and still continue to purchase the latest and of course the newest spin off from this series (Can’t wait for The Warlord😍) Coming back to listen to them on Audible all but makes it even better. It’s like “reading” them all over again.

Gena never fails to write a great book!

Great Author

The story is getting old but the author continues to write very well, interject twists and background information that keeps the reader/listener interested.

Reyes/Danika

OMG! Never had a hero pulled this many emotions out of me! One minute, Reyes made me want to cry and hold him, then two minutes later I think he is the strongest warrior I have seen. The Warrior of Pain was a true pleasure. I was glad to see him with Danika, someone to take care of his wounds, and give him a few if needed. This book is worth a few re-reads.

love this series

This is the best series. I love this author now onto book 4! I can't wait to finish them all.

PASSION!!!!

I have to tell this narrator "dude, you do ok but for the love of the goddess.. MORE PASSION!!! You need more passion in your voice when narrating this awesome series... specially the steamy parts.

Must read!

I've had each book in this series for a while and recently started listening from the beginning. I enjoy this book and the way that the author blends the alpha male personality with his vulnerability and a strong woman's determination.

Anyone who likes Christine Feehan, Laurell K Hamilton (Anita Blake series) or Karen Marie Moning's (Highlander series) would enjoy this series as well.

LOVE REYES AND DANIKA!!!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Darkest Pleasure to be better than the print version?

ALWAYS IS!! But I only listened!

What did you like best about this story?

I loved how gentle Reyes got around Danika, he was so cute and awkward...it was adorable!

Which character – as performed by Max Bellmore – was your favorite?

Anya as always...But I do Love Reyes too!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes!

Any additional comments?

I really like this series and the narrator has truly grown on me! In this one we have Reyes who is cursed with the demon of pain and Danika, the one that got away....and she is on the run! Danika goes into hiding because her family is in danger from Aron...a demon charged with the duty of killing her family, and he wont stop till he has them, even though he really doesn't want to! Reyes tries imprisoning Aron to give him time to find Danika, and she fights him tooth and nail in the process...but love is true, and we learn Danika has powers of her own and is very valuable...this may just save her and her family..and be Reyes' salvation also!!

REALLY GOOD STORY! ON TO BOOK 4!!!
