Summary

Ricky Ruiz—ruthless kingpin, reclusive heir, the one man I can’t seem to outrun.

Rumors buzz when a pic of me buying a pregnancy test goes viral. This wouldn’t be such a big deal if, roughly one month ago, I wasn’t also spotted with the new top-dog of Cypress Pointe’s most notorious crime family.

The same crime family my father dedicated his entire law enforcement career trying to bring to their knees.

Ricky inherited the money, the houses, the cars, but he also inherited the danger. He sleeps with one eye open and one finger on the trigger. So, when my name starts popping up alongside his on social media, the beast awakens, convinced there’s now a target on my back, too.

He’s not big on patience or subtlety, which I realize when I come home to find him waiting in a dark corner of my apartment, in no mood for a debate. He’s on a mission to collect what he believes is his.

Me.

My father warned me about the Ruiz family. If I’d listened, I might not be locked in a room inside Ricky’s home, I’d still have the job he decided to quit for me, and I’d still have my freedom.

I have no plans to be Ricky’s caged bird. Not even with an army of street soldiers at his disposal. He’d beg to differ. According to him, it’s just a matter of time before I give in and admit what he claims to have known from the beginning.

That I’m already his.

Trigger Warning: Ricky lives up to his reputation, so if you’re sensitive to excessive, explicit violence, you might want to pass this one up. There are also situations that may be triggering for those who have experienced pregnancy-related trauma. Listener discretion is advised.

Sexy Beast is a full-length standalone novel (95k+ words). This book can absolutely be listened to on its own, but for the sake of flow and clarity, you could start with The Golden Boys (a bully romance trilogy within this series).

Are you into hot romances with alpha-male crime bosses? Then, you’ll love getting to know Ricky Ruiz.

Due to adult themes and sexual situations, this one’s only for the 18+ crowd.

Five brilliant stars!!

Talk about going out with a big bang. Sexy Beast is the sixth and final book in the Kings of Cypress Pointe series, and it's the long-awaited Ricky's HEA. I absolutely adored Dez and Ricky and was utterly captivated by their journey. Their story is the complete package, emotionally charged, endearing, steamy, sensual, and adventurous, wrapped in thrilling danger and suspense. The ending was perfect; it unveiled truths, answered long-awaited questions, and satisfying. Rachael Jonas and Nikki Thorne are master storytellers; their characters and plot development are exceptional, detailed, precise, and exhilarating.
I can't wait for the next incredible world Jonas and Thorne will create. One thing I'm sure of, it will be exhilarating.

Sellar narration by Lacie Glennox, Michael Corbin, and Sarah Puckett; each flawlessly captured the nuances of the characters' personalities, emotions, attraction, and intensity of the scenes. They stayed true to the characters and brought the story to life. The Kings of Cypress Prep series is one of the best high school romances I've read/listened to; it's packed with mystery, suspense, heat, drama, and romance. The entire series is very well narrated with consistent quality. I'm definitely recommending the series.

Ricky and Dez!

Dez is still trying to heal from the death of her father, and she believes that Ricky holds the answers she needs. She plans a chance meeting which leads to a steamy encounter that ends with her expecting his baby but that is only the beginning.

After the death of his uncle Ricky has become the head of his family and his loyalty to them comes first. Finding out he is about to become a father changes everything and he will do anything to protect the woman he is growing to love and the child he never thought he would have.

The lifestyles that Dez and Ricky have been leading are polar opposites, but their hearts don’t agree. Ricky will do anything to protect her and her child and learns to accept that he is a good man who sometimes has to make difficult choices. I thought that the narrators did a great job with both the romantic side of Ricky’s character as well as his dark side. 🎧 Pink Flamingo Productions

My Thoughts on Sexy Beast

This is definitely one of my favorite books of the series. It’s a shame that it seems like it’s the last one too. But then again, with the way things were left, there’s the possibility for more. And there’s certainly more characters that could get their own story. But this story was excellent. I liked both Ricky and Dez as main characters. I liked them individually and together. I appreciated that they both had their own damage and issues coming into things, and the way things came to be between them wasn’t even planned or intended and yet worked so well.
I enjoyed the whole flow and progression of the story. This being a dark romance, I definitely didn’t have any issues with the way that Ricky chose to handle certain things. It helps that I also wasn’t at all surprised. And I honestly really liked that while Dez made choices in regards to how she handled things in Ricky‘s professional side of life, she stayed strong and handled herself fantastically on the personal side.
There were so many secrets exposed in the story, and I feel like things were wrapped up really well as far as any outliers from previous stories. Even if this book was a standalone as have the last couple of books before been, there were some minor plot points that carried throughout the story, such as who is Pandora, and, what is going to happen with Hunter and things like that. I’m glad that those type of things got resolved in the story to give it a real series ender kind of feel. But I certainly won’t be at all upset if they find a way to continue. Just like I wasn’t upset about the narration for the story. Both the narrator for Ricky and Dez were newer voices for me, but I still liked both of them. The voice for Pandora is a favorite of mine and continued to give a spot on performance for this story as well.

Fantastic Conclusion

I love the world of Cypress Pointe!! It was so much fun seeing 'our bad guy' find love and his happily ever after. Ricky and Dez!!! Like all other CP books, this wasn't all hearts and rainbows it was filled with blood, guts, and tears! It had so many of my favorite tropes! Enemies to lovers, surprise pregnancies, and mafia/crime in general! Get ready for a fun and dangerous adventure! And I'm so happy with the epilogue!! And a little plea for the authors PLEASE give us the Bayou Boys, I want to see all the delicious trouble those boys get into! muahahaha!!!
The narrators did a fabulous job as always!! Thank you PINKFLAMINGOPRODUCTIONS! VIP! FLOCKVIPREVIEW! AUDIOBOOKSOBSESSION!

Holy smokes

This is an amazing conclusion to this series, and I absolutely loved Des and Ricky together from the get go. Their chemistry was sizzling, but more than that, they just fit together so well. Even though, on paper, they shouldn't, they really did in my eyes.
The narrators were great, and really brought the characters to life.

Fantastic

I was a little unsure of the story line when I first started it. I was thinking it was just the same old post high school drama. However, this book was so much more. With the post high school drama also came mafia links, sexy beasts And surprises. With all this adding up to one hell of a book. A fantastic performance from all the narrators.

Enemies To Lovers Mafia Pregnancy Romance

Sexy Beast by Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne is an enemies to lovers mafia pregnancy romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Lacie Glennox and Michael Corbin. This is the sixth book in the Kings of Cypress Pointe series and can be read as a standalone.

I love Rachel and Nikki's books! I was so happy when they announced that we would be getting Ricky's story and they did not disappoint. I really enjoyed the relationship between Ricky and Dez. I loved that we got both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

Lacie and Michael did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like enemies to lovers romances, mafia/organized crime romances, or surprise pregnancy romances.

Fabulous romantic suspense!

What a great story! I have remembered Ricky from the previous books and was so glad he finally got his story! Surprises all around in this book. After the death of Dez's father, she was on a mission to find his killer. Putting herself in the middle of it all seems to be the right move, but as she meets up with Ricky, the new King of Cypress, things do not go as expected. These two have a chemistry that is undeniable, and ending up together is the last they both ever thought would happen. When life takes them on the a new path together, there is much to be worked out. After all, they come from completely different backgrounds. Will they survive the upcoming changes in their lives? Will Ricky be able to bring his family business out of the old ways and into the new? Will everyone be safe? This book is full of twists and turns, passion and fun with old friends! Getting to see the Goldens is a treat! Plus the revelations about Pandora are just a icing on the cake! A fabulous installment!

Narrated by the talents of Lacie Glennox and Michael Corbin, the book is suspenseful, dark and sensual. Glennox dials into Dez, her independent side along with her reasonable creating the perfect personality. Corbin has the alpha male protectiveness along with a ruthless side, exactly the way I hear Ricky. And we can't forget Sarah Puckett as Pandora! She is the best at the quick, side gossip, creating the drama! Loved it!
