Reyes is a man possessed. Bound by the demon of pain, he is forbidden to know pleasure. Yet he craves a mortal woman, Danika Ford, more than breath and will do anything to claim her?even defy the gods.

Danika is on the run. For months she's eluded the Lords of the Underworld, immortal warriors who won't rest until she and her family have been destroyed. But her dreams are haunted by Reyes, the warrior whose searing touch she can't forget. Yet a future together could mean death to all they both hold dear.?


Reyes, warrior of Pain

Wow so much has happened in this book! It was a nice installment in the Lords of the Underworld series.
You are left with a lot of questions though.

Reyes,is a warrior keeper of the demon Pain. He has to inflict it on himself in order to control the demon. Reyes craves Danika but is worried his demon will affect her. Danika Ford and her family were kidnapped by Lucien and Aeron in the Darkest Night. Aeron has been ordered by the Gods to kill these four women, no one knows why. In the Darkest Pleasure Aeron is mad with bloodlust, the only thing that seems to calm him is this demon named Legion.

Danika is stubborn, feisty, and extremely protective of her family. She has been on the run from the warriors and is finally caught when she kills a man who happens to be a hunter. Danika doesnt know what to do r think anymore, especially when it involves Reyes.Can Danika be the key to finding Pandora's box?

I throughly enjoyed this book and dearly hope Gena Showalter writes more. There are so many more questions that need answering! I love the Lords of the Underworld and hopefully you will too.

The Darkest Pleasure

The Darkest Pleasure by Gena Showalter is book three in the Lords Of The Underworld series and in my personal opinion also the best. This story is about the ancient warrior Reyes, who lives a tortured existence because he is also possessed by the demon of pain. Reyes' demon forces him to constantly harm himself and he can know no peace until the day that he meets the beautiful Danika, the one woman who can calm his demon...

It's been a while since Danika Ford has known any peace herself. Her nice normal life has turned into a horrible nightmare with no end in sight. For some reason Cronos the King of the Titans has put out a contract on her life and that of her family...

I know that I described The Lords of the Underworld books as my newest guilty pleasure and this book is no exception. I love all three of the books for this series but this one is my favorite for several reasons. 1. the world building is already done so the author was more able to concentrate on the characters. 2. The character of Danika is just so well done, she is one of the most likable characters that I've read about in a very long time. 3. Even though the book is 368 pages long I really wasn't ready for it to end...

Pain/Pleasure.....

I did enjoy this book....it was very well paced, held my attention, had incredible chemistry between Reyes and Danika, and told the continuing story of the Lords of the Underworld and their conflict with the Hunters. The search for Pandora's box continues, and you really need to read these in order to understand what's going on.

Maybe it's just me....but did anyone see a similarity with this book and Lover Awakened by JR Ward. If not for this comparison, I might have liked this book more than I did. Lover Awakened is probably the BEST paranormal book ever written, so anything in comparison CANNOT compare. Reyes demon Pain causes him lots of it. He needs to feel pain to feel pleasure....meanwhile the name "Zhadist" just keeps echoing in my head.

I thought the chemistry between Danika and Reyes was EXCELLENT! The story is getting a little silly if you ask me...all that Cronus/Pandora/Hunter conflict, but don't get me wrong....if Paris and Sienna/Toris and Cameo get a book...I'll be the first in line!

More of the Same

This book is very much more of the same as the previous two books. Reyes holds within him the demon Pain and has been lusting after Danika Ford since book 1.

I had some major concerns for Danika as Reyes is a fairly violent and bloody person (not to mention messy... all that blood...) and he tends to taint the women he associates with his demon so that they too begin to crave pain. Unwilling to afflict this future on Danika, Reyes protects her from both Aeron and himself. Of course this only works for a period of time before Danika forces his hand.

However since Danika is the all seeing eye and basically a portal between heaven and hell the demon can't hurt her. It basically just goes to hell (lol) when she is with Reyes rendering her safe from the demon.

I just checked and there are not any other books published after this one so I'm not certain if she is still writing this series or not. The plot points set out certainly aren't finished by this book. Only two of the four godly objects have been found and so they haven't gotten Pandora's box. Paris did have a vision of Danika holding the box but that's obviously sometime in the future. If Ms. Showalter writes more I'm willing to read them.
