"I'm sorry for your loss." I would rather be tortured for an eternity than hear those damn words from one more person, as if Claire, my dead fiance, was a cell phone or car keys.
How about, I'm sorry your life is over.
I'm sorry you want to die too.
I'm sorry you see her in your dreams and wake up only to relive the nightmare.
I'm supposed to be the strongest of them all. Ash Abandonato, ruler, assassin, made man, brother, friend—instead, I hurt everyone I touch in hopes that they'll feel even a sliver of the pain that bears down on my shoulders.
I didn't lose.
It was taken from me.
And it's all her fault, Annie Smith.
I daydream about her death.
And then I close my eyes, and I see her soft smile. I feel her touch, her kiss—it was a mistake what we did that night, but I can't take it back, and now she's under my father's protection—my protection.
My worst enemy.
The woman I'm the most attracted to.
I can't decide if I want to strangle her or kiss her, and now that she's stuck in my life, my only goal is to make her feel the same loss I do and destroy her in the process.
I'll trick her with my touch.
Seduce her with my kiss.
And in the end, when my enemy is at her most vulnerable—I'll bring down an entire Empire and continue my reign as King.
Bow down, I'll say as I bring the Five Families to their knees.
Blood in.
Never out.
Damned.

REVIEW

★★★★★

WHOA! What an INCREDIBLE story! After finishing Destructive King one thing I know for certain is that Rachel Van Dyken is in a whole league of her own in the mafia romance genre. To me, her stories stand out for her angsty, emotional storylines, the crazy twists and turns, and by these complicated, dynamic characters. I admire their fierce loyalty and intense passion for each other. They LIVE and DIE by their motto. “Blood In. No out.”

From the moment I opened the first page of my kindle, I was CONSUMED by every word written. If you read the blurb or previous books in the series you will know Ash well and to stay he is hurting is a HUGE understatement. His pain is some of the realist, raw pain I’ve even experienced for a fictional character. My heart ripped in shreds for Ash so many times and Annie coming into his life when she did cannot be described as anything but necessary and perfect for them. This is not a love story for the faint of heart. It is dark, gritty and intense. It is extremely messy and will leave you feeling SO MUCH! Ash is lethal, ruthless and hard but at the same time is protective and loves so fiercely. Annie is strong, sassy and brilliant. There is so much more to her beneath what we were first introduced to in the previous books. I love how Rachel weaves humour into her mafia books. It’s dark subject matter at times but I can always count on Rachel to deliver the snarky banter and one liners that have me laughing out loud as well. This book is perfectly titled. Ash is one dangerous, delicious, destructive king and this story annihilated my heart in so many ways but in the best kind of way. A must read for mafia romance readers and a top book of 2021!
