4.3 out of 5 stars 464 ratings

The flip of a coin. Lies. Broken promises. A debt to be repaid. A broken girl. How far will Killian go to make Ray lose? Taking Violet as a debt flesh payment becomes

so... much... more...

Wagers. Pain. Danger. Deceit.
Is Killian just a player?
Or... Is this game for keeps?

Killian:
Three years ago I let the flip of a coin
decide which of us got to ask her out.
The coin picked wrong.

The beautiful, vivacious brunette I saw that night
is a shadow of her former self.
Because of him.

It's time for me to fix and unbreak this broken girl.
I decide to use his gambling addiction against him.
But along the way it gets complicated.
I no longer simply want him to lose.
Now, I need her to be mine.


There's a problem.
My life, my lifestyle, and my needs - all darker than what this broken girl deserves.
And as things progress, I'll have to keep some secrets.
Unfortunately, secrets eventually find their way into the light.
Kill Game is Part 1 in The Devious Games Duet.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!??!?! I need book 2 NOOOOWWWW!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Okay okay. I CANNOT BELIEVE what I just read. HOLY MOTHA FREAKING CLIFFHANGER has me GASPING!!!!! I did NOT see this coming omagawd!!!!!!! I was wondering why there was a duet and OH $hit I now know why!!!!! GAHHHH 😱😱😱

    Jesus. Where do I even begin?!! I can’t even focus right now! My mind is reeling with the different possible scenarios that could happen in book 2.

    So, the book starts off with Violet and Ray’s perspective. Violet has been with him for three years and is experiencing a psychological, emotional, and even kind of physically abusive relationship. Ray is basically a deadbeat. He doesn’t have a job, he lives off of Violet, uses her car, takes her money and has her cards with him while she is forced to take the bus to go to work. And all of this is fine with her, because he has molded and forced her to be OK with it all. She has even cut off her relationship with the people that she loves, including her family and her best friend. Ray is always trying to hustle, trying to make a quick buck in anyway possible; one of the ways is gambling. This comes back to haunt him when he meets up with Killian.

    Killian actually saw Violet three years before, when he and Ray made a bet as to who would get her number. Ray won the bet, so he goes up to Violet and initiates relationship with her. Three years later, they see each other again and Killian goes over and figures out that Violet is not happy and the relationship that she has is not a good one. Because Violet has been emotionally worn down, she doesn’t have fight left, and somehow, Killian senses this and gives Ray an opportunity for a job that requires him to leave. Violet, who has been done with this relationship, seizes the opportunity to try rebuilding her life and gets back in touch with her best friend who’s going to help her end the relationship with Ray. She is determined to move on with her life, and, in order to do this, Killian offers her to stay with him so that she is safe and away from Ray. She agrees to stay with him while Ray pays off the debt he owes Killian. Of course, during this time, the fireworks ignite between Killian and Violet.

    This book is definitely more of a slow burn, compared to what I’m used to reading from DD Prince. They don’t kiss until about 60% in and they don’t have sex until after 70%. However, it is totally worth the wait!! Killian is very patient with Violet because she has gone through a lot; she’s traumatized and scarred from the relationship with Ray. He understands this and knows that she needs time, space, and compassion. But, he is also extremely attracted to her, just like she is very much attracted to him, and he doesn’t want to slow down. She puts the brakes on a lot because she feels like everything is moving too fast, and Killian is an angel and respects her boundaries, until she finally gives in, and holy hell was it 🔥😉🤤😅🥵. The intensity of their chemistry is *chef’s kiss* and so hooooot🔥!

    Many times, I was wondering “did DD Prince write this?” Lol I’m so used to her super alpha/controlling/possessive Hs (and Killian is- but also SO SWOONY🥰 and SO SWEET❤️) that Killian was a breath of fresh air. He’s very much j/p YET he gives her what she wants/needs because she’s trying to find herself again after dealing with deadbeat Ray. Also, he calls her baby (insert fainting gif here). Gah. I love him.

    Now, things are not always what they seem. Everything seem so good, everything was going so perfect, and then the last few percentages had me questioning so many things. When I got to that part, the whole time my face was like this 😱😳🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. Like, wtf? WTF?!?! It was like I was trying to do calculations for calculus without a calculator or a piece of paper. And then… gah… the ending 🤯😱😳🙈🤭. I didn’t see it coming… especially considering this book is told in dual perspective- mostly Violet’s but we also get Killian’s.

    I NEED BOOK 2! Like, it needed to be out yesterday!

    ⚠️safety squad⚠️possible spoilers
    -no cheating
    -mild OWD (all before H and h are together)- all one sided- two exes appear in the book. One shows up at his apartment, wearing a trench coat 🙄, but he quickly tells her off and gets rid of her. The other tried to entice him when H and h are at one of his businesses- but he turns her down and even questions her intentions/sanity (same with the other one)
    -OMD- well, Ray is her ex and he’s very much a huge complication in the book 😬
    -some info about H’s childhood is revealed- physically abusive childhood/dead mom, etc
    -a character is tortured- we don’t see it happen, but we get told in the aftermath
    -huge CLIFFY

    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2021

    I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntarily, honest review of it.

    From the first moment that the writer DD Prince mentioned this story ‘Kill game’, I have been waiting for it. Because after reading and enjoying this writer’s mafia books, I was looking forward to another story that would take place in that (mafia) world and although Killian isn’t really a mobster (so far I discovered, he’s still a bit of a mystery to me), the story does have the same vibe as a mafia book. This book isn’t dark but it does handle a difficult theme, that of being in a toxic relationship and emotional abuse and gaslighting. But that wasn’t the only emotional thing in the story. There was also the ‘what ifs’, what if I had done that differently?! But the story is also about strength, finding yourself back again, love and passion. And even with those ‘heavy’ emotions In the book, I still found myself smiling throughout the story. Violet and her girlfriends could be really funny and sassy at times, especially during a night out when they were tipsy. For me, the book had a perfect balance between emotional depth and light, funny banter.

    So…the two main character Violet Gates and Killian Coulter. They were really great. The story started when Violet was still together with Raymond. We got to known her in that situation where she’s broken, quiet, demure and unsure and then we got to see her blossom and become strong again under the loving attention of Killian and with the support of her girlfriends and family. It was wonderful to see that change in her. Violet was really a lovely character, she was kind, attentive, giving, loyal, sassy at times, intelligent. And then you have Killian, definitely an alpha man, hardworking, intelligent, protective, ambitious, bossy, sexy and mysterious. Yes!, Even after a whole book, he’s still a bit of a mystery to me. He still has secrets that we have to discover. I LOVE that!!! The many secondary characters in this story were very interesting too. Killian’s brother Willie, Violet’s best friend Susanna, Violet’s family and Killian’s friends and employees. Dario and Tommy also made an appearance in the story! I was so happy to see them back.

    In the story you get both POV’s and it has a slow burn feeling to it although the story itself takes place in a few weeks/months but it all feels really natural how the feelings grew between Violet and Killian.

    Sometimes you read a book that you know will be on your mind for a few more days after and this story is it for me. I’m still processing scenes and emotions and as a reader I love that. The book is part of ‘The devious games duet’ so you know going in that it will end with a cliffhanger and although I was prepared for it. I hadn’t expected that ending!! The writer have Killian and Violet an ending that you know will cause big problems for their relationship and make their HEA a bit harder to find! But I can’t wait to read how the writer will make their HEA possible!! Because I know that DD Prince will make that happen for Violet and Killian!

    If you have read this writer her mafia and bikers books and loved those ones, give this one a try too.

    Wheww talking about a slow burn!! I actually almost quit; don’t get me wrong the book was good but it takes way to long before we get to the good stuff 🙃🙃.

    I’m a DD Prince newbie so I’m trying to get use to her writing style but this one was different. (Like I’d really know, LOL 😀I’ve only read 5 of her books). Sadly I had to put this one down and come back several times because in certain spots it was dry and dragging 🤷🏾‍♀️. But the keywords are I came back to it, I was to invested not to.

    There were a lot of gems; first, the sex scenes were amazing 🔥, that had to be said 😊😊‼️And Kill is crazy about Violet 🥰🥰, he’s willing to do literally whatever it takes to make her happy. He’s slowly helping to build her self worth and confidence by loving and protecting her so fiercely. I love watching her slowly come out of her shell. Maybe in book 2 we will see more growth and more of the person she use to be before the dreaded 🤬 Ray insert eye roll 🙄.

    Side note 📝 why are we still dealing with Ray?? I know I don’t always get what I want but Ughh I’m super annoyed that he’s still a factor in book 2! I just wanted to move on from him and enjoy Violet and Killian’s HEA ❤️

    Side-note 2 I loved Suzanne from her introduction I’m a girls girl and good girlfriends are essential 👭🏾.

    Overall - good book, I like Kill & Violet and I can’t wait for book 2.

    Violet has been with Ray for three years, and the last two have been destroying her. Killian was there the night she met Ray, and now he's back watching their relationship.
    This is, just, wow. The manner in which Violet is slowly broken, the way Ray isolates her until she loses herself, and the contrast with how Killian treats her.
    This story is heartbreaking, and romantic, and sexy-hot, and more than a little unnerving.
    Excellent.

    This a blasting whirlwind that ends in cold, cold inferno, if that is possible. The steam at first is due to the fire but the ending is like the fog coming off dry ice. Very tender, vey explosive romance Do note that this not a stand alone and you definitely need to read this book before the next one. DD Prince is back in the world of the Dominators and the story is a page turner. I write reviews for the author and no one else.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2021

    I don’t read cliffhangers ever unless I have the next book but turn down the opportunity of reading a DD Prince book - never. Do I regret reading and having to wait for book 2 - definitely not. Did I enjoy it - yes it was addictive and I couldn’t put it down. For me the sign of a good book is one which I think about when I’m not reading it and stays with me after I finished it.
    Simply put a beautifully written story that slowly weaves its way through an engaging love story and then just when you thought it was all over with a happy ever after you get the kick and twist and it ends - book 2 needed to find out if they make it as a couple. Of course there are twists and turns throughout the story and as it’s linked to the Dominator series there is an edge to the story plus we get Tommy and Dario cameos, as if Killian wasn’t luscious enough. Killian is drop dead gorgeous and Violet beautiful and sweet. This story had everything I wanted and when they finally got it together my eyes nearly popped. I throughly recommend this book even with the cliffhanger it’s a satisfying read.
