Gangsters And Guns: A Dark Contemporary Romance Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,221 ratings

Some people say that life won’t give you more than you can handle...but those people are liars.

My life has never been easy. I’ve had my fair share of pain—every moment is a fight to survive. With my brother on his deathbed, it’s up to me to provide and protect what’s left of my broken family. I do things I never thought I’d be capable of, becoming a person so hardened to the world that when I look in the mirror, all I see is a stranger.

When a twist of fate lands me at rock bottom, I make the ultimate decision and give away the only thing I have left—my freedom.

I belong to them now… The Beast. The Brains. The Bastard.

The Dixen’s have their secrets but they aren’t the only ones hiding something. When the truth finally emerges, our worlds will collide in a potent mixture of sex, drugs, and bloodshed. Either we will fall under the weight of our deception or it will make us untouchable—bound irrevocably to each other.

Sometimes you have to trust the gangsters. Sometimes it takes a gun to stay alive.

And sometimes, it takes both.

***Gangsters and Guns is a dark, contemporary, standalone novel. There are explicit scenes and dark themes such as drug abuse that might be triggering for some. If such material triggers or offends you, please do not read this book***

    Loved the Minor Crossover with DOV, cause it gave you a sense of familiarity.
    Plain and Simple. LOVED. IT!!

    This was a good read. Please note that if you have any triggers at all this is not the book for you. If you like your dark romances extra dirty then this is your kind of read. The characters in this book are not good people nor are they trying to be. They're simply dark people surviving and in the case of the Dixen brothers thriving.

    All right so speaking of characters I had a really hard time connecting or even liking Rory. To be honest she annoyed me to no end till about 1/3 of the book. I don't expect all FMCs to be kick butt, take no names kind of gals but she was just so weak it got to be too much. But then about a third into the book things start to shift and that's where it all changed for me. The brothers I loved right away. Dark, broken and owning it it was love at first line with each of them. I liked how they didn't hide who they were and refused to apologize either. Maddox is the protective brother and is the darkest of the 3 brothers. Rogan is the control freak, he must know all and uses his intelligence to gather info. But make no mistake he's just as brutal as Maddox. Then there's Alistair, the struggling younger brother, who is on a downward spiral when he meets Rory. Finally, there's Rory. The woman who saw something tragic as a child and who struggles with her own darkness. Her one priority in life is caring for her older brother which is how she finds herself in the jam she's in.

    The story itself was pretty good. And the development between Rory and the brothers was also well done in my opinion. Now fair warning if you don't like your sexy times to be dark fantasies then move on from this book. Rory's biggest fantasy is the kidnapped and used type if that gives you any indication. There is no vanilla to be found anywhere in this book. If the dirtier side is your speed then this book is fire! Ice water is the minimum recommendation I would make.

    Overall it was dark but sweet. The brothers find their missing piece in Rory and it was great to see how they changed for her but just for Rory. There's a lot of emotion in the book as well such as the scenes between Rory and her brother that just broke my heart every time. So pick this up if any of the above calls to you.

    Gangters & Guns by K.A Knight & Loxley Savage deserves 6 stars!!!

    Wow, can you say HOT!!! Holy hell, the sheets were on fire (And soaked), the fans were full blast and I was still over heating.
    The FMC Rory is a street rat who looses so much at an early age but does not allow it to break her. She is strong and fierce and kind and caring. She sacrifices so much for her brother who raised her but has now gotten himself addicted to coke. She does things that would crush some but rises stronger everytime and is determined to make something of herself.

    When a job goes wrong and Rory finds herself in jail, she thinks it is the end.. but little does she know that is it actually the start of something great.
    Bronsen, the top cop, puts her undercover to spy on the Dixen brothers.

    Rogan, Allistar & Maddox (FML, he rifles Diesel in the crazy department), the Dixen brothers. Sexy, rich and they want Rory. Once they set her in their sights there is no escape for her. She starts off hating them but quickly realizes they are caring and considerate towards her.

    The steam in this book could power a train, it was next level. Brilliant, loved everything about it.
    May contain triggers for some.

    From start to finish I was obsessed (literally devoured this within 24 hours) The plot was good and kept me intrigued and the smut was SPICY. The type that had me sweating while reading it in Public. If you’re a fan of K.A. Knight, this is a must read

    3.0 out of 5 stars Too much sex gets boring at a certain point
    Reviewed in Brazil on April 17, 2021
    I loved the start of the book, the plot, the struggles that MC has to pass but by the very end I lost interest because there was nothing but sex sex sex and the plot was forgotten..and then the ginger root scene. It's the most absurd and horrid scene I've ever read. Rape is an understatement. Please don't do write such a thing again.
    And always sex is good but a good plot and story is much better. Of course if you're sex addict and love the idea of having a ginger root up your ass, that's your book.

    Pity. It has such an amazing start.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Could be shorter
    Reviewed in Germany on May 19, 2021
    The book is well written overall but I have mixed feeling about it. I feel like it could have been withee shorten or more detailed about the "gangster" side. This book is focusing mainly on the relationship between the MFC and the guys. At some points (around the middle) it gets repetitive and somewhat boring, yet the last quarter of the book is a bit rushed. Good story even more so if you are into submissive FC but I prefered Den of Vipers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 26, 2021
    Our FMC has been given a thorough back story,  which really draws you in. Her life is darkness and struggle, culminating desperate acts simply to survive. One of these acts ends up with her in handcuffs at the police station, facing a man whose only thought is to blackmail and use her to his own ends. She is pressured to find evidence against the Dixen brothers,  but is not told why.

    The story is told from different POVs,  giving us some insight into the brothers which Rory does not have.

    There are plenty of hot scenes,  some of which could be triggers (especially with Maddox), but it's fascinating watching as each brother comes to realise the depth of his feelings for Rory.

    All in all, Katie and Loxley have come up with a wonderful dark RH romance.

    Reviewed in Canada on March 27, 2021
    Not your typical gangster/mafia dark romance. This one was different as the focus is not on the gangster part but heavily focused on the characters. The characters are interesting as they all have their backstories and their own issues. Their is plenty of sexiness and steam along with suspense. A good read.
