The Vetrov name comes with expectation. My role in this world is simple: do as Father asks and live my life how he planned it. My future is already written: run the empire. Old Values. Old Rule. Old Money. Until her. Everything I do lacks purpose. Everything I do is empty. Women. Money. Power. It meant nothing. Until her. When the Volkov rose showed up at my home a disgraced package, hand-delivered by a Vasiliev prince, I began paving my own path. I vowed to make her bloom once more. She consumed me. Her. Her. Her. But you can’t love a rose and expect not to be damaged by her thorns. She cut me too deep. And I bled out. My soul fled. All that’s left is a cold, calculating monster. I am Veniamin. Volcanic. Victorious. Valiant. Vetrov. When you enter my world to play games, prepare to lose. In the end, I always find the thorn in my side, and I pluck it right out. Haven’t read book one? Catch up here!

Ven is the second book in The V Games series by K Webster & Ker Dukey and one of my most highly anticipated books of this year. In the previous installment, Diana was the character that intrigued me most. I couldn't wait to get more of her, and she did not disappoint!
Diana Volkov is beautiful, strong, business minded, loyal, and smart. She was raised to be more than just eye candy, and that is evident in everything that she does. Whether managing business or kicking ass, she always comes out on top. I enjoyed her strength and determination in this world where women are seen as weak and pathetic and treated like objects or property.
Ven Vetrov is sexy, strong, powerful, vicious, and alpha all the way! He has loved Diana since they were children, but he knew she was never meant to be his. Now, he has a chance to change that, and he doesn't intend to let it pass him by.
Ven is dark, captivating, violent, and hot! In other words, it's everything you would expect from this author duo. The first half of the book is perfection. However, in the second half, Ven does something that totally changed my opinion of him, and I lost all my love for him which was super disappointing. Diana didn't fall as far our of my favor, but she knows something about him that she basically sweeps under the rug and that didn't sit well with me. I wanted to knock the shit out of her for it, but I still like her. Lol That being said, I couldn't stop reading, and I look forward to the next installment!
If you liked Vlad, you should definitely give Ven a try, and if you're a fan of mafia romance, this series is for you!!
P.S. I seriously can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope Vika gets her own book. 🙈
Holy-fudgesickles!!! Ven made me lose my fucking mind. I don't know if I'll both marry K.Webster and K.Dukey or cuss them both because holy hell in the ass of a monster, this book is fucking twisted at all levels!
Ven and Diana's story was my most anticipated one in this series. With that ending in Vlad, the things I wanted for it was materialized in Ven. I devoured it all hungrily like a mad woman never leaving even the smallest detail -- the violence and vileness, the gritty and gory details, the thrills, smexy scenes and filth. It was so sick. I might have been conflicted over some scenes but I could not deny the fact that both these authors managed to deliver something intriguing and captivating. Character wise, you'll fall for both of them. I might have not loved Ven the way I did in the 1st half of the book but I know others will. Diana on the other hand was a likable character what with her fierceness but that didn't stop me from wanting to kick her ass or jam my fist up her throat.
Trust me when I say I was more than thrilled to read this second book of the V Games series. In fact, I almost did beg the author for a copy when I realized I haven't received mine and everybody did. Because who wouldn't? This book screams fucked up and that just means, it's right up my alley. I was so wrong because this duo upped their game, making twisted and fucked up an understatement, feeding my dark soul, satiating it and then BAM, made me lose my fucking sanity over all the twists and turns I never saw coming. It was mind fuck to the nth level and I'll warn you right at this very moment, this is not for the faint of heart.
Overall, I like this book and I am loking forward to the next installment. I might have been disappointed-ish to some scenes (not my cup of tea), but I will still recommend it to readers who digs dark, twisted and fucked up mafia romance story. If you love Vlad, don't miss out on Ven. Who knows, he might be your next anti-hero too.

About Ker Dukey
My books all tend to be darker romance, edge of you seat, angst filled reads. My advice to my readers when starting one of my titles…prepare for the unexpected. I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters growing up. My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light; some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling. When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.
