Ruled by Blood: A Mafia Reverse Harem Romance (An Empire of Blood and Chaos Book 3) Kindle Edition
The devil was finally hers.
But someone is trying to make the underworld believe that Kira Cain isn’t Shadow. They’d even used her scorpion venom to try to take her devil away and poisoned Damien Chaos – her fiancé. The queen’s role is to protect the king, and she’d managed to fail spectacularly that night.
Because Dante Chaos shouldn’t have been able to trick her.
Her.
Kira should have been five steps ahead of him, but someone was pulling his strings – someone who could make an almost perfect replica of her signature poison. This copycat had made their opening move and now it was Kira’s turn.
Except Damien is going to leave her behind, to protect her.
Her demon prince needs to learn he can’t rule without her. The king doesn’t live long without his queen, and she refuses to let the fiends of the underworld converge on him and do nothing to stop it.
Playing defense has never really been her style.
This new enemy was going to learn just how deadly a scorpion could be when threatened.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI’m not going to lie I hated Damien for a good amount of this book. I couldn’t understand how someone like Kira could fall for someone that just wasn’t completely enamored with her just yet.
There were times where it was mentioned her brand of love is obsession which makes sense because Kira is a psychopath, so in my head I pacified myself by saying their love for one another would be different because Kira can’t actually love the same way a normal person can. But honestly, I think Damien becoming just as obsessed as she was with him saved it for me, that even when he hated her he couldn’t keep away. But still I was so annoyed with the fact Kira, was so easily broken by the idea of him getting hurt when he hadn’t earned that sense of protectiveness from her yet. He earned it in this book I will readily admit, but I will forever stand by that feeling that a character like her should have been able to hold off on becoming attached/ obsessed to him or better yet keep it just at obsession and not love. Would have loved for Damien to be the one “in love.” while her obsession slowly progressed more into something that one would consider love. She is a psychopath after all?
But that’s just me being picky at this point, I didn’t mind the moments she finally submitted to him because he did the same to her in other-ways ,but I didn’t love the references to other submissive he had in the past, not by name obviously because they were nameless faces and not of importance to him, but like why even make references. It was unromantic considering they were in the throes of passion. “You exceeded my expectations, love. None of my pretty little submissive have ever done that,…” like did we really need that line? If I have to hear about something like this, I would love to hear more about the men Kira used to dominate in the past, and have it brought up when she’s having sex with one of the men (preferably Damien) Let’s even it out a bit. Idk it’s somethings that’s always bothered me in romance.
Other than that I loved this book. I truly did, holy cheese balls I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. So fearful of something happening to one of these beloved characters. Even Damien though he’s my least fave of the men. I love Kai and I love Aeron, and I want more Aeron and KirA time because the sweet beast man needs all the reassuring he can get. Also there is Dante…. Please Emma add him to the harem. I didn’t expect the complicated emotions I felt about him in this book but all I can say is he deserves forgiveness and I’d never thought I’d say that about a character like him. I want him in the harem, need him. There’s no denying the chemistry, between him and Kira. Then there’s Adam. I love Adam so much, as uncomfortable as his relationship with his sister can be. I love it, there love for one another makes this and series. Kira really said bros before hoes, and I love that she makes a lot of decisions based on him, even around her men. Emma Dean despite my pickiness, you really put did yourself on this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseFirst I would like to say to Ms. Dean, that I am sorry that you lost a 'friendship', but I am happy that you were able to use this heroin to explain that ALL relationships are tested and that the most important people are the ones that stay beside you through good or bad, and I hope that you have others that show you that everyday. Now, as for this series, I absolutely love it! I'm a big fan of this authors writing, but I have to say, that this particular series is one of my favorites by her. The characters are intriguing and fascinating, the storyline is interesting, it's harsh but beautiful at the same time. If I were to put a theme to it, the one word that comes to mind is LOYALTY, not of fear but CHOICE. In the end, that is what we all hope for. I would highly recommend this series and I cannot wait for the next book, because that ending has my mind reeling!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book was insane! So much happened, I could not put this book down. I did not so that ending coming, I can not wait for the next book!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI haven’t been able to put this series down! The cliffhanger at the end of book 3 might just take me out! Haha
- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI am upset about this. I thought this would end here. Now I have to wait for another book for the conclusion. By the. time it comes out I will have forgotten stuff.
I know I am not the author but come on this book was so full of drama I was skimming. All it did was concentrate on Kira trying to show how smart and psychotic she is.
I am getting to the point I don't care for her. Damien is not much better.
If all the unnecessary drama had been cut back and added more chapters we would be done.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI want to know what happens next so bad. I can't wait to see what happens to the women that has made herself know.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2023Format: KindleThis book was absolutely amazing! That cliffhanger is gonna be the death of me. I could not put this book down and anxiously await the last installment of the series. Not that I wanna see Kira and the boys go though
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis whole storyline has been full of great twists, but the twists in this book were brutally fabulous, I can't wait to read the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Four stars
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseStars given on level of engagement;
5 stars - amazing! Less than a day to read because I cannot put it down and obsessed about after finishing it. I only give 5 stars if it has managed to engage extra emotions from me - extreme lol moments or real teary moments etc. A 5 stars book tends to have me raging about cliff hangers and stalking the author for release dates.
4 stars - really good. 2 days to read or less. A book that I have really enjoyed reading, feisty MC and some racy scenes with thier romantic interest. I would definitely follow a series and author for 4 star books.
3 stars - enjoyable. It takes around 2/3 days to read, by the end the end I have enjoyed the overall story and would read any sequels.
1/2 stars not given, as I have usually returned it without finishing as I'm not engaged. .

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cains are chaos
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThese characters are fantastic. The story moved along quite slowly. It concentrated on Kira planning and making moves, solidifying her relationship with Damien, Kai and Aeron, and aligning her allies. The Cains are being betrayed by an unknown enemy and they can't let themselves become vulnerable. Looking forward to the next installment.
