Corrupt by Penelope Douglas

“The only way we find out what we’re capable of is by getting into a little trouble.”

Erika Fane’s boyfriend’s older brother is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college’s basketball team gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than he is with her. But she saw him. She heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…
For years, Erika bit her nails, unable to look away. Now, she’s in college, but she hasn’t stopped watching him. He’s bad and the things she’s seen aren’t content to stay in her head anymore.
Because he’s finally noticed her.
But Michael Crist knows the hold he has on Rika, how much she fears him. She looks down when he enters the room and stills when he’s close. He knows she thinks only of him. When Michael’s brother leaves for the military, leaving Rika alone and unprotected, he knows the opportunity is too good to be true. 
Three years ago she put Michael’s friends in prison, and now they’re free.  
Every last one of her nightmares is about to come true.

Holy crap!!! What the hell I just read? And pls somebody slap my face because Why the hell I wait so long to read this book? Arrrghh I’m so angry myself right now but oh my god, this book was freaking amazing… Loved it soooooo much! I won’t spoil the plot here, but with every chapter, each character’s motivations are further unveiled, secrets are disclosed, and the lines between love and obsession are blurred. That thread of “I want you” runs steadily through the whole book, and the tension is palpable.

I rated this book 4.5 stars. I don’t always read smut but when I do… I have a certain type of man that I like. I like dark haired, terrifying, morally gray, arrogant, witty men. (I have issues, obviously). I like my men a little bit mean and terrifying. Check your trigger warnings!
