The Devil’s Desire by M.V. Kasi Review:
The Devil’s Desire by M.V. Kasi is a passionate, sensual and suspenseful romance set in India. Featuring a yet another deliciously wicked anti-hero just like in her previous book, The Devil’s Kiss, MV Kasi again manages to thrill, engage and keep the readers on their toes in her latest book. This book is the second book in “The Devils” series.
Likeable aspects of the book:
If you have read “The Devil’s Kiss” by MV Kasi then you will connect the characters and the events happening in that book with this one. However, if you are reading this book without knowledge of the aforementioned book’s story then this story will come as a separate and fresh read for you. Either way is fine because the understanding and enjoyment of this book aren’t affected.
The base story remains the same. Three friends are called “The Devils” because of their good looks, wicked lifestyle and their ruthless presence in the criminal world.
Since I read and loved “The Devil’s Kiss” that featured Anirudh Shaurya, I had already met Shiv Jaipal, our hero and somewhat understood his motivations behind his life as a criminal. That being said, there are many similarities between the two books. One, both feature anti-heroes who force straight-laced heroines into marriage. Second, both portray the role of a beast but then fall for their beauties. Thirdly, the romance is off-the-charts hot and definitely meant for mature readers. Fourthly, there are hidden agendas, dangerous secrets and full on thrill that will keep the readers glued to their seats.
The writing is as usual vivid, realistic and so engaging that the story easily creates mental pictures and plays out like a movie. The protagonists are complex and the character development easily makes these people look real with problems readers will connect with.
I enjoyed the book very much and finished it in one sitting. Meeting the characters from the previous book was an added bonus.

Aspects needing improvement in the book:
While this is a well-written book, pretty engaging and I loved it, yet there are several things that I think could be worked on. Firstly, the timelines of the two “Devil” books run somewhat parallel. If you have read both the books then you will notice discrepancies in the events timings in both books. Second, I wanted a better understanding of Shiv’s history and his family. Why were they targeted? What does that have to do with his becoming a criminal? How will the mutual agenda he worked with his friends work out now that his enemy has been handled and his reality known?
Conclusion:
In conclusion, The Devil’s Desire by M.V. Kasi is yet another “Beauty and the Beast” inspired romantic suspense that entertains, excites and leaves the reader feeling happy. 4 out of 5 stars to it and Njkinny recommends this engrossing romance to all romance lovers above the age of eighteen. I am taking away one star because of the above points that I felt needed to be addressed in this book. However, I am now eagerly awaiting the third Devil book, The Devil’s Love.
MV Kasi’s books are spicy, entertaining, suspenseful and memorable. I am stil to find a book that isn’t lovely from her. Go read her romances now!
