My entire life fell apart once. It took everything I had to pull it back together and drag myself out of the darkness.

This stranger who bought my art was supposed to be my hero, but instead he’s the villain. He threatens to destroy all I’ve worked for—my sculpture, my rebuilt reputation, my life. All I have is my art, and I’ll do anything to save it from his predatory hands.

Even if it means offering myself instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!

Hot and sexy, Destroy is a seductive little story. Nikita, a brave and talented woman, has been given a second chance with her art, but she's devastated to learn that Luke has purchased her latest creation. Reclusive Luke Rafferty has a reputation for manipulating the work of others and calling it his own...but there's more to his story than those rumors tell...

Wow, I love these two together. The simmering heat of their first encounter is intense and emotionally charged. Luke's aloofness hides a determined man focused on a plan that Nikita is unwillingly swept up in. Did I mention intense!?

This story is the tip of their iceberg, and I'm dying for more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and steamy read with 2 fiery artists
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019

3.5 stars. Nikita Petrov is re-establishing herself in the artist community and has to interact with Luke Rafferty. Although they are strangers when they meet, they have definitely heard about one another and it’s not all positive. Immediately, the shields go up and tensions rise because artists always defend their art. Neither are exactly as their reputations describe, as they later discover, but rather compliment one another’s artistic talents. This was a quick and sexy read with adequate vackground information about Nikita, but I wouldn’t have minded to learn more about Luke, too. This takes place in the Sordid world, but it’s not necessary to have read Sordid or Torrid.

This is a very intense story of two souls that made poor decisions in their lives. Luke purchased Nakita Petrov sculpture and when she found out she tried to destroy it. She was forced to go with the delivery and was to fix what was broken. What happens next between Nakita & Luke is not & explosive. The ending is a real treat! Nikki Sloane never disappoints!

Destroy was a quick and sexy novella in the Sordid world. It was very fast-paced and gives us the story of Nikita and Luke. I found their chemistry to be delicious and enjoyed Nikita's backstory. While I enjoyed it, I did find the story to be a little rushed as I would have enjoyed to see more of their interactions while working and seeing their bond and feelings develop. All in all though, this was an enjoyable read. 4 stars! ~Ratula

3.0 out of 5 stars MY FIRST-TIME DISCONNECT WITH THIS AUTHOR CAME AS A SHOCK
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2019
[Purchase book 1/13/2018]
Nikki Sloane is a go-to author for me. As a huge fan of the SORDID DUET, the release of this 3rd book as a novella in the series was a one-click. Her unique style and ability to take tabooish material and make it so appealing without crossing a line or being off-putting IMO is a testament to her talent. Taboo wasn't even an issue this time anyway. But as much as I enjoyed this novella on one level, it fell short for me in another. The story was intense, fast, unusual, and compelling about two adversarial artists with a dark edge. It had all the earmarks of another hit. And yet, there's a bit of a tragic backstory to NIKITA that felt contrived as a tie-in to the Sordid series but didn't do much for me and could have been shortened. Why spend so much time making Nikita have such low self-esteem and show a dark episode that fit awkwardly into the story? It actually detracted from time better spent on Nikita's strangely provocative and adversarial encounter with fellow artist LUKE. In fact, there was little we know about Luke other than her assumptions about his bad reputation, when I wanted to know more. His "reveal" was more or less a throwaway moment of making
making false assumptions without having all the facts. An Intentional ploy or not, I felt shortchanged and it contributed to distancing me from the characters instead of feeling closer to them.

A big problem was, as good as the author writes sexual tension and sex scenes AND even though I believed that the characters felt the unexpected chemistry between them, I WASN'T FEELING IT. And that's a hard contradiction to explain. I actually felt nothing during the singular sex scene, which took up a fair amount of the story. That's never how I react to author's sex scenes. Maybe because the story was on the esoteric side and a bit too brief, but it doesn't work for me to be TOLD something. I have to feel it, and I just couldn't figure out WHY I wasn't feeling it.

The end was also a bit rushed even for a novella and was missing something vital for me. Although I will read it again, I won't appreciate it as much as her other books or the Sordid duet. Without generating a vicarious feeling, the book just didn't have the same impact her books usually do, especially considering this edgy couple should have wrapped me around their fingers. Despite these feelings, my slight disappointment in this book will not deter my my continued love of Ms. Sloane or reading future books.
