Excerpt 
His eyes lit up at that as his gaze travelled across my chest and wandered down to the most private of places. I was clothed and covered in the right places, but in front of him, I felt completely naked. The feeling was unnerving and delicious all at once, which only confused me further.
So he’s sexy as hell. It doesn’t matter. He’s the enemy.
It doesn’t matter anyway,’ I added hastily. ‘I’ve got a nasty case of the clap. Better not rape me or your pico might fall off.’ I thrust my chin out as I used the Spanish term for ‘small dick’, smirking at the Gypsy Brother as his warm hands continued to roam every bit of bare flesh on my arms.
Dornan laughed at my admission, a throaty noise full of gravel and insolence that made me increasingly unsteady on my feet.
I’m not going to rape you,’ he replied, amusement dancing in his dark eyes. ‘And you don’t have the clap. So don’t use that one on me.’

Book Summary

How much is a life worth?

Mariana Rodriguez is the eldest daughter of a Colombian drug lord. Growing up in Villanueva, Colombia, she has never wanted for anything. Private schools, a lavish lifestyle, and the safety of the Cartel that her father works for.
At nineteen, she's got her entire life mapped out, and what a good life it's going to be: graduate from college, move to America, and finally be free from the stifling grip of the Cartel.

Only, her father messes up. A shipment of cocaine - a very large, very valuable shipment - is seized by the authorities whilst under his care and he becomes liable for the debt. Half a million dollars worth of cocaine.
Half a million dollars he does not have.

But he has a daughter, a very smart one, a daughter who would give up her very existence and offer herself as payment for her father's sins, to ensure her family survives.

But falling in love with the man who owned her wasn't part of the plan ...

My Review
Cartel is Dornan's story that takes place prior to the Gypsy Brothers series.
If you've read the Gypsy Brothers books you'll understand what I was so conflicted about reading this book. 
Dornan is evil. 
I'm certain he's satans right hand man. 
I despised him from the very first book in the Gypsy Brothers series, not just a little but I have some serious hate for this character and that's something I can't say has happened before. Usually I have a strong dislike but Dornan I flat out hate.
As much as I can't stand the man I had to read Cartel, I'm not sure what I was hoping for. I suppose I was hoping to find something about him to like, maybe something horrible that changed him and made him the man I read about over the course of seven other stories, some small redeeming quality maybe?

Nope.
Not an effing chance.

I found that Dornan has always been an evil SOB. A dark, twisted creature who thrives on others pain and suffering.
Knowing what I did about Dornan, I silently hoped he'd be a better man to Mariana. I hoped this book would redeem him maybe? I don't really know what I expected, I just thought maybe there's a teeny tiny flicker of something good in this man. 
And Mariana, I can't even decide how I feel about her. I felt sorry for her, then it changed to what the hell is this chick thinking? Followed closely by WTF just happened here.
I'll reserve judgement on her until I get to read the next book.
