From the Author

"I know," he replies, his lips trailing kisses all over my chin and down my neck, "and I also know there will be other men sniffing around you," he rasps before closing his mouth over the spot right above my clavicle, sucking on the skin.
I gasp, realizing what he's trying to do.
"Bass," I push at his shoulders.
He doesn't let go, sucking until I know all the blood's already rushed to the surface.
"There you go," he gives the mark another long lick, "now any bastard who looks your way will know you're claimed."
"What? You..." I shake my head, scandalized. Before I know it, though, he wraps his fingers around my jaw, holding me tight and bringing me into him. His eyes look unyielding as he stares at me.
"I meant what I said, Gianna. You belong to me now. And I don't share," he states in a deadpan voice. "If I see another man so much as lay a finger on you, I'm going to kill them and I'm going to make you watch," his tone is chilling, and the more I study his face for any sign he's joking, I realize he's not—he's serious.
"You're crazy."
"Yes, you got that right. You've seen me kill before." His other hand is trailing down my back, the tips of his fingers slowly brushing along my spine and making me shiver in response.
"I do it very easily. And I will kill anyone who even dares to look the wrong way at you."
"You can't just..."
"Yes. I can, and I will," he leans in, his teeth catching my lower lip as he gives it a soft bite. "Now run along before I lose all my control."

Amazing Book!

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2021

Verified Purchase

Fans of dark themes will absolutely love this book. What I love about this authors writing is that she knows her audience - those who want deep psychological horror with a side of gore and sex - and she really provides them with books that cater to these desires that are often ignored by other authors. However, what sets Veronica apart is her ability to write these deeply crazy books in beautiful, evocative language, and with characters that function beyond simple torture devices or dark seduction tropes. She makes you feel for these characters so deeply - even those you would at first least suspect or those you hate. This is a remarkable skill - so often one reads or watches content with gratuitous violence wherein you become desensitized because you were never led to care about those characters. Or, you can guess right away what will happen because the characters are stereotypes or tropes. In this book, Lancet leads you to quasi-redemption arcs that make you question your own morality as you empathize with characters you should loathe. What is more, the book leaves you gasping for air after you return from the immersive and emotionally intense world that Lancet creates. Great stuff- read this!

Gianna is a typical high class princess with a cruel streak, but has more to her than meets the eye. Bass is a mean man who has his eyes set on Gianna, a member of his family's rivals.

At first, the story was interesting and Gianna was a witch of a woman and while it was off-putting, you could see a potential for redemption. Bass is terrible man and owns it. His need to protect his family through the blood of others is Borderline sadistic, but not off par with other mafia style books.

Halfway through the book, the story just started falling apart for me. The plot was there, but it became flat and disengaging. The book had a strong start, but the pacing was incredibly slow. It takes a long time to get to interesting points, and everything in between just felt like filler writing.

Gianna got me so mad in the beginning. There is one thing she does early on to Bass that made me want to reach in the book and slap her. She definitely goes on a character arc. Who she is in the beginning is not who she is in the end. Bass also changes for the better and is book boyfriend status for me. I felt lots of different emotions throughout this. This isn't quite as rough as some of her other reads but still has wtf moments.

This universe keeps growing and there is no shortage of interesting characters. Some of the side characters in this one had me wanting to know more about them.

SOME SPOILERS INCLUDED BELOW

There were things that I liked about the book. I love jealous and possessive heroes and so I loved that about Bass. Sure, it made him do stupid things but couldn't help but love when he showed his jealousy.

I liked that when Bass decided that Gianna was it for him he stalked and chased after her. He wasn't letting her go despite her attempt to make him stay away.

I liked that they were faithful to each other. There was no sex with OP after meeting and no interest in OP either. I liked that Bass was not a manhoe. He had not had smex in a long time before meeting Gianna.

I liked the HFN ending.

In addition, the pacing of the story was good. It kept my interest. I was never bored. I read it in one sitting.

Unfortunately there were things that I disliked about the book was well. It surprised me but I didn't like Gianna and Bass. Usually I liked one if not both of the main character but that was not the case here.

While I understood why Gianna and Bass acted the way they did it didn't excuse their behavior.

I dislike mean people, both in fiction and reality, and Gianna was downright cruel at times, especially towards Bass. She was a bully and physically and mentally abused him. She went out of her way to humiliate him. She repeatedly called him names like "mutt" and used the fact that he was heavily scarred against him, knowing that he considered himself ugly.

Gianna hit him, punched him, attacked him and shot him with an arrows. I believe Ginna stabbed Bass as well. She did one thing to him that was despicable. It was bottom feeder type behavior. That totally disgusted me and despite acting like a human being later, I couldn't look past it.

While I liked Bass better than Gianna that is not saying much. Unlike Gianna, except for one incident, his intent was not to humiliate her. He didn't physically abuse her unless an argument could be made that a pressured bj, that she enjoyed, was abusive.

While Bass was much better than Vlad from Morally Ambiguous who frequently killed people whether or not they were innocent, Bass still killed innocent people because he lost control of himself and that bothered me.

Also Bass seemed a little dense and bothered me as well. I don't often say that about main characters.

There are at least 2 more books being published about secondary characters from this book and unless they contain things like cheating I will be reading them.

Finally a MFC that doesn’t roll over.

I really enjoyed this book because unlike other books the mfc doesn’t just except and I’m sorry and takes the mmc back. She is actually a strong character and made the mmc work for his forgiveness. I loved that a book finally went against what all other books have. This was such a breath of fresh air to read because of that.

Veronica, your books are amazing. I first read the war of sins and I was just blown-away by the intricacies of each character, the build up of the story. It was beautiful! And now Frivolous, is just wow! The dark beginning to forgiveness and redemption, brilliant! I'm a fan! I can't wait to read the rest of your work.

Bass should be as wary of his family as much as Gianna's

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2022

Bass has been released from prison with the help of money to bribe and probably blackmail as well. On his release he's given the job of seducing, then humiliating very publicly Gianna the daughter of a rival mafia family. Bass goes into this thinking Gianna is a spoilt, promiscuous addict but he eventually sees through the bitch facade that she hides behind.
There's a lot of pain, both physically and mentally before there's a HEA for these two.

Nice read

Reviewed in India on September 14, 2023

The blurb of the book got my attention and it had me reading the story of an 18 yr old Gianna and her 30 yr old bodyguard Sebastian Bailey. A journey of their love story from angst to hate to love to love lost to love found. Their love story made for an interesting read. Though the book is a standalone story, we have Gianna's brother & step-brother's story told in another series. They find a mention in passing in her story.

Go ahead download, and read. It's part of the KUL. Happy reading.
