I will break every single rule to make her mine.


My life has always been defined by the extreme. I don’t balance - I’m an all or nothing kind of man.

Doesn’t sound healthy? It sure as hell isn’t.

Giving in to my cravings has almost ruined my life before and I’m not going to let it happen again.
That’s why I need rules. A strict regulation to keep my head in place.

Once a year. A different girl each time. No exclusivity – no addiction.

Laura is fueling my hunger like no girl ever has before.

But she’s not on the menu.

Taking her is against the rules.

Keeping her could ruin me.

…Or finally appease the monster within me.


** VIOLENT CRAVINGS is a Dark Romance with themes of captivity. Contains situations some readers might find objectionable. NO cheating, NO cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA. **

About the Author

I'm an indie author of steamy Billionaire Romances, and I love strong alpha men with loaded bank accounts and skeletons in their closets.

My heroes are as sexy and beautiful as they are broken - only to be fixed by the smart & captivating heroines who cross their paths.

Lately, I've been writing more Dark Billionaire Romances. I'm very excited about my current VIOLENT series and its current spin-off The Velvet Rooms Series!

I live in Europe with my very own hero.
And I love squirrels. ❤

5.0 out of 5 stars Wickedly Delicious and Perfectly Imperfect
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017

I loved this book! It was hard to put it down, I stayed up all night reading!!! This book was freaking addictive, hot, deliciously wicked, hot and hell did I mention hot? This review will probably just end up a big fangirling mess on how much I loved the raw, dirty, explosive f***ing that went on in this book. Pardon my brashness. But yes. There was no love making. Well, maybe there was. But it didn't start out that way. Ryan Hawkins doesn't do love. He f***s, he gives into his dark cravings once a year. (Again. Sorry!!!) And he f***s hard. And good. And Laura can't get enough!! (Really who could blame her though One Indecent Proposal Turns Out To Be OH So Much More) Because I think I would've succumbed to the ways of Ryan myself. No shame. He is all alpha. Dominating. Powerful. Controlling. Possessive. And I know these have been done before. BUT! I just can't explain it. There's just something about him that just COMPLETELY did it for me!!! Cause when he says (“Yes, doll. I will f*** you until you don’t know your own name, and the fact that I’m the first one to ever do it won’t change my plans whatsoever,” he whispers, his piercing eyes blazing dark with lust. “You agreed to this. You wanted this. But don’t expect me to be gentle with you.”) Good lord!!!!! I don't think I've ever used the term "ovaries exploded" but yeah. That's pretty much what happened. He is very vulgar and blunt. And the dirty talkin. Ok. Now that I probably sound like a complete sex-crazed hornball.
Let's get to the story. Cause there's a really great story too!!! Double win!!!!

Ryan has a dark past and urges. He controls them by using an agency (Violent Delights) to send him a new woman each year to spend one night with him. He has rules set for himself and this annual retreat allows Ryan to explore his sexual dominant side without any major complications. That time of year is quickly approaching and this time Ryan wants to pick the leggy brunette beauty, Laura at his own Charity Event. He sees something special in her and has to have her. He doesn't expect Laura to unintentionally throw a wrench into his well laid plans.

Laura two years ago dropped out of college to take care of her dying mother. Now, she's waitressing to pay off her debts and to save enough money to move away for a fresh start with her best friend Layla. What Laura doesn't count on is meeting Ryan, and how the mysterious dominant billionaire is about to change her life.

A Review of Violent Cravings by Linnea May

Another stellar storyline - 4.5 stars

In this book, we again see the agency, Violent Delights, where customer can request a partner for specific types of acts, where they are willing to allow the client to do xyz, as long as there is no permanent or lasting damage to the "player" they send out. Ryan's past is dark and ugly, which limits him to giving into his darkest cravings just once a year. With his annual "playtime" coming up, he makes a rash decision to approach a waitress that he meets at a company event instead of going through the agency he has always used in the past. With the mountain of debt that Laura is trying to pay off (due to her mother's illness and subsequent death), she accepts his offer. What follows are some of the hottest sex scenes you will read and the journey these characters end up taking will keep you on the edge of your seat. The grammatical issues are the biggest draw back for me, but I still enjoyed the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars as none of the women offered by the escort agency has piqued his interest like she does
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017

This is the second of Linnea May's Dark Billionaire series that I've read. Although both books follow a similar pattern, as they're part of a series, the personalities and history of the main characters are sufficiently different to keep one fully interested in reading and enjoying the whole story.

Ryan, an extremely successful entrepreneur, believes himself to be a very broken and compulsive sex addict. In order to control his addiction, he only allows himself one 24 hour intensive BDSM interlude a year with a hired escort. He runs into Laura, a server at a banquet his company is hosting, and becomes obsessed with her. This interferes with his current search for his annual experience, as none of the women offered by the escort agency has piqued his interest like she does. He decides to independently make Laura the same proposal he makes to the escorts. Laura is a very cautious woman, who is working multiple jobs to pay off a substantial debt (incurred after she dropped out of college to care for her dying mother) and allow herself to make a new start. Although still a virgin, the offer made by Ryan would allow her to resolve her debt and begin her new life. The story details both their interlude and its aftermath, as neither Ryan nor Laura can forget one another, even though both proceed with their previously planned lives.

Ms. May is a very talented storyteller. She allows the reader to fully understand and appreciate the strengths and flaws of the characters in her novels. If the dark romance genre is one you enjoy, this book should be added to your "To Read" list.

3.0 out of 5 stars Obsessive Master
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2021

Laura is a waitress struggling to make ends meet. Ryan is an obsessive sex addict and notices her. Once a year he hires an escort for 24 hours and does every kinky thing to her. Heavy BDSM with caning, choking and bondage. He asks Laura to do it and she agrees. It seems unbelievable that a naive virgin would sign a contract agreeing to it. The agreement is explicit and she knew what to expect and submits to all of it. After 24 hours he sends her away with a lot of money. She moves away and pays off her debts. A year goes by and he decides to find her.

There were grammatical errors especially in the early chapters that detracted from the story. I had some trouble believing their connection. This is not a girl who was craving BDSM yet she just jumps into it with him and he's brutal. This is not a romance.

This is the second book and the second book in this series that I’ve read and I really liked both. I feel like I connected with the characters and I wanted the happy ending which I’ve received both times. This was a great story and I look forward to reading more from this author.

While I found this story to be a bit unbelievable, it is well written and it was so easy to just get lost in the story. Sometimes you just need to escape the real world and get lost in a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense man trying to control sex addiction
Reviewed in Canada on April 25, 2018

This was a twist to a dark romance. As a way to control his addiction he only has sex once a year where he buys an escort for 24 hours. This year he falls off the tracks and meets a woman working as a waitress atone of his conferences. This set up makes him break more of his rules where he becomes obsessed with the girl. A good read

4.0 out of 5 stars The chemistry between the pair is compelling
Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2017
Definitely not for the faint of heart. Heed the authors warnings when she says the book contains scenes and subject matter that may be difficult to read. This is a very dark romance with some themes that aren't "nice" at all. I'm sitting here looking at the blinking cursor and realizing I haven't quite recovered from the book yet. I'm wondering how do I put into words what I just went through and make it more meaningful than "it was good" or "it was hot". I think I'm having such a hard time because there are some themes in here that are not altogether comfortable. What pushed me to places I don't want to face was the depth of Laura's submission and acceptance. I'm still not completely comfortable with the "kidnap" and "kept" aspects of this relationship but the chemistry between the pair is compelling. So to the squeamish out there, take this as my warning.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book.
