Carver (Adair Empire Book 5) Kindle Edition

by KL Donn (Author), Alluring Write Productions (Illustrator), KA Matthews (Editor), Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (173)

From USA Today Bestselling author KL Donn comes the fifth book in the Adair Empire, a dark romance series.

Beast, monster, boogeyman. Carver Rivers has been called many things in his lifetime & accused of even more. With single minded focus, he’s the one you want on your side. To fight your battles. Unfeeling and cold Carver grew up battling for freedom, fighting to become the well-known killer he is now.

Meeting Meadow Riley, Lilith’s sister, obsessing over her, he never anticipated what fear felt like. A fear so deep, so deadly it consumed him.

After believing the Empire’s enemy is dead, they’re shocked to find Meadow is missing and in need of a dark knighted savior. After finding her, Carver’s desires grew deeper and he longed for the innocent girl to accept the monster lurking beneath his skin.

Meadow aches to be loved as passionately as King loves Lilith. She yearns to be someone’s home, their safety. When Carver steps up claiming his need for her, will Meadow be strong enough to accept their intense desires or will Carver find himself fighting for something he never thought he would?

Love.

    She’s so sweet and innocent and he’s everyone’s worst nightmare. And yet they fit. They are meant to be together. She pushes him away. And her worst nightmare steals her away. When Carver finds Meadow again, nothing will ever tear them apart again. Meadow finds parts of herself she never knew existed. Carver heals Meadow and Meadow calms Carver. They are puzzle pieces. It’s a brutal and beautiful and messy and glorious love story. I love it!

    Have you ever read one of those series that your waiting on bated breath for the next release only to binge read the next book and impatiently wait again for the next release? Well, the Adair Empire is that series for me, and KL just keeps sucking me into the dark world with each release. Carver has a special place in my heart because he was the scariest one, but the way that he is and reacts to Meadow just melts me. To see such a big man want to do anything to protect and give his woman, even from his darker side is just ugh sigh worthy. I want to be his Mindy Mine lol. Now, I will impatiently wait for Gasping for Air, as I have to see what she has in store for the remaining characters. KL we know you love torturing us while we wait, no worries, I love your kind of torture!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Carver & Meadow
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2018
    Format: Kindle
    From the moment he saw her, Carver, enforcer and torturer for the Adair Empire, knew that Meadow belonged to him. As Lilith’s half sister, she’s off limits for now, but that doesn’t stop Carver’s obsession. He’ll do anything to make sure she is safe and happy even if he can’t have her yet.

    Meadow’s world is torn apart by Lilith when she learns her step father had a family he abandoned prior to her and her mother. All she wants is to go to law school and bring justice to those who need it most. But her associations with the Adair Empire have made her a target and only Carver and the rest of the Empire can rescue her and eliminate the threat. Will it be enough to draw Meadow in to Carver’s world or will she walk away to escape his harsh reality and create her own?

    Book 5 in the Adair Empire, Carver:Past Lies cannot be read as a standalone.

    I’ll be honest that Carver’s character has intrigued me since the beginning of the series. He really is a blood thirsty killing machine and barely reigned in by King Adair. I wondered how he could possibly have any sort of relationship or show a woman any sort of caring when he has seemed to be focused only on killing and the torment his favorite knife Mercy brings enemies of the Empire. He’s completing obsessed with Meadow, watching her from afar, although he does try to give her the space she needs. I was a bit shocked to see him capable of the gentleness he had with her, although he also brings his dark side and dominance to the table as well.

    Meadow is sweetness and light. She harbors bitter feelings to Lilith and the Empire and really is not ready to be a part of it. When events force her in and she’s kidnapped by an enemy of the Empire, she knows Carver will save her. She just isn’t ready to be a part of his world. As he world continues to shatter, however, she finds herself needing the safety only he can provide her. She is willing to embrace his darkness and give herself over to him in all ways.

    While I enjoyed Carver, I feel like this book lacked a bit of the depth the other books in the series had. The plot didn’t flow as easy and seemed to almost pack too much suspense and action into the book, leaving less time for the author to really develop Meadow and Carver’s characters and relationship. I will say that I absolutely loved the teases of what is to come in the next book . . . the build up between Dimitri, Daniel and new character Danika Vashchenko will have readers screaming for more.

    Fans of the series will adore Carver and Meadow as KL Donn continues her walk on the dark side with the Adair Empire. 4 stars.

    Seems like I have been waiting for this book for forever. I have loved Carver since we met him in King. KL Donn didn't disappoint with this book! Carver is so much better than I hoped for! It's no secret that Carver is my favorite in this series with his carving skills.

    Carver is a dark, disturbed, alpha who is loyal to those he calls family. With his knife, Mercy, he is to be feared.

    Meadow is a young woman trying to live her life after everything got tipped upside down.

    I love the chemistry between Carver and Meadow. He's so dark and she's so innocent, the saying "opposites attract" strikes again!

    I can't wait for the next book in this series!! I'm not sure what KL can do to my emotions that she hasn't already, with this series it's like I'm a hormonal teenager with how quick they change!

    Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019

    Carver is the most lethal and twisted of the Adair empire men. He has no clue how to control his dark side and the idea of having to “hide” himself from the woman he is beginning to see as his is something he can’t have. Meadow is a very innocent young lady who happens to be caught in the middle of a nightmare. Carver is trying his best to protect Meadow from all the dangers surrounding her, but she is so hurt by all the lies she has been told all her life that she can’t trust anyone...including Carver. Carver let’s her have her space but in doing so he also gives room for someone else to come in and hurt Meadow once again. This time there is no hesitation on Meadow as to what she wants...but is she too late to confess her heart’s desires.

    Carver and Meadow's book took the intensity up a notch but then Carver is a force to be reckoned with. Meadow's sweetness is the perfect balm for Carter and his devotion is limitless. I was desperate for these two to get their happy ever after, they both deserved that so much. The stories just keep getting better and better and that is saying a lot. This series has made it onto my re-read list, it is just that good. I can't wait to dive into the next book!

    OMFG! Carver is so INTENSE, I mean I knew that from the first four books in the series, but dang is he intense to the thousandth degree. Meadow is special, and sweet, and trying so hard not to be broken. A wonderful plot, absolutely fantastic characters, and wonderful writing. I adored this book and especially loved Carver calling her Meadow-mine. Yes, it is dark, but not as dark as some books I've read. You definitely need to read these books in the order they are released otherwise you will miss the overarching story line. I can hardly wait to read book 6. Fantastic story K.L. Donn!

Carver was more than alpha he was a beast but a beast you will fall in love with and Meadow was an amazing strong girl even if she didn't realize it. They fitted together perfectly.

    Carver was the book in this series I was most looking forward to. I wanted to see more behind the character that was demonstrated throughout the previous four books.

    Something about him called to me, KL blew all hopes I had for this book by a mile. I thought it would be amazing, it was brilliant. I felt, I smiled and devoured every word.

    Carver and Meadows story was angsty, it had so many twists and unexpected turns that allowed us to see the man behind and with the knife also meadow's strength, fire and love. These two characters complemented each other perfectly.

    The way this book ended, I cannot wait for book six!
