CARNAL: The Beast Who Loved Me (EXILED Book 1)

Victoria Danann has again given us a book with characters that jump off the pages and into our hearts, The world she has created in Exiled is unique, well thought out and exciting.
This story flows swiftly with heart pounding danger, new love and surprises and with heart shattering consequences.
Rosie’s coming of age story left me totally immersed and turning pages at lightning speed, right up to the unexpected and emotional final pages.
Victoria has begun another 5 star series and I cannot wait to read the next book. This has to be one of her best if not THE best book Victoria has ever written. And she has written some spectacular books in the past. This one cannot be missed and I MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEND Carnal- Exiled, book 1

Awesome new read..Spin off of The Black Swan series..

She is forced to grow up and quit acting like a child...
Rose is the daughter of Elora and Storm from My Familiar Stranger.. Another great read from The Black Swan series.
Great Read.. Always enjoy Victoria's Black Swan series..Her books are full of humor, adventure and hot hunky guys.
Can't wait for the next book.

This is my first time being enveloped in this world. I don't think I had a hard time following along. The author does an excellent job of using detail to describe the world they live in and the characters. I could picture everything going on. Characters are so real I loved them all so much. So the author will know why she is not my favorite right now. She makes you attached to them and invested then she throws in some incredible twists. Because she was able to grab my heart I don't want to let go of anything in this book. This story is an incredible journey I'm so glad I got to go on. I would definitely recommend this book.

Ouch! This one hurts... Rosie is part demon, and a bit immature. Miffed when her boyfriend chooses duty over her, she asked Uncle Angel Kellareal to hide her out while she licks her wounded pride. Conveniently, he stashes Rosie on a world where humans are hunted by the escaped genetically altered human-hybrids they created as slaves. They are guarded by another group of imported hybrids, whom Kellareal illegally saved from genocide and transported to their world. Rosie's budding friendship and admiration for her hybrid hosts leads her to mess in hybrid/human politics with disastrous results, particularly in light of her growing love for Carnal, fierce warrior and son of the chief hybrid. A culminating battle forces Rosie to make the same choice she berated her old boyfriend for making: she must choose love or duty, and be hurt no matter which way it goes. Its a great, if sad, read.

Victoria has outdone herself once more. This spinoff of the Black Swan series is another suck you in and take you down the rabbit hole of plot twists and turns that has made Victoria Danann the award winning author she is today.
As always when reading one of her books, I can see, hear, taste and feel every nuance so was no more prepared for the ending than our heroine. I look forward to the rest of the series to see where her next adventure takes her.

I thought Rosie was heart broken because she was in love with Glen. Then within a few weeks she is in love with and having sex with Carnal. I thought there would be more would building about the exiled, who they were, why they were created. Why there was a similar scenario in a different dimension. But this is mostly a fast moving courtship story. The approaching war, the actual battle and the outcome is covered only briefly.

OMG, this book was fantastic. I have read through all of the Black Swan books through book 8. Most of them are really good, a couple I found just meh, but this one is outstanding. Hated the ending but I knew what was coming so I was prepared. Can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the story and can't wait to see where the next one goes. Rosie is the main character of this one and her quest to grow up is happening fast. The lessons that she learns in this book are essential for what I'm guessing her future may hold. Crave, here I come!!!

Victoria Danann has done it again! She brought these characters together and made a story that blew me away! This is one of the best stories I've read in a long time. I love the Black Swan stories and this one has Sir Storm's daughter Rosie looking for some time away from her life. She asks a friend of her mother's, an angel to help and he does. The characters in this story are awesome, the story itself will keep you turning those pages. You won't want to put it down, I know I didn't. You'll laugh, cry and just enjoy yourself. Trust me Victoria Danann is a genius with words. Go get it and enjoy!

In this book Carnal, Rosie wants to teach her boyfriend a lesson and goes to a new world. This is where she meets Carnal and a few new characters as well. She is still young but is learning that there is more to life than what she had. Rosie grows up fast in this new world and the relationship that develops with Carnal and his family will keep you on the edge of your seat. I fell in love with this book and I can’t wait to read what happens next.

Demons, angels, dimensions, and hybrids. This is an interesting mix of science fiction and paranormal romance. It was nice to get a story for Rosie and see her grow as a character for those that have read the Black Swan series. But the ending threw me and brought this down a star for me.

Mature content

Victoria Danann did it again but even better! I couldn't put the book down. I lost a lot of sleep for two nights. The book had me laughing and crying. After I was done reading it I couldn't stop thinking about it. I like that Victoria put a small recap of each book to get you up to speed. This is a book you won't regret buying.

Well Mrs. Danann has done it again! Carnal had me laughing out loud and in the corner crying. It takes a lot for me to be that involved in a book and its characters. From the start I was hooked, and at the end I wasn't even sure what to do with myself. Victoria Danann has a way of getting you emotionally attached to her books and the characters in them. I will be anxiously waiting to see where this offshoot goes.

WOW!!!! Victoria has done it yet again. I was totally sucked into this book, living among the characters. Rosie goes to escape her reality and ends up finding herself. This book hits on all the life lessons, love, loss, war, peace. Grab this book, you will love it. (You may want to grab a box of Kleenex too, just in case. :)

This is a wonderful story with excellent emotions in developing characters. Readers this book has great action, adventure and a heavy roller-coaster; plus some very smoking love making scenes.

I found myself submerse completely in the journey of hero and heroine as they learned what is love, the stock of betrayal. Along with understanding others and accepting them and all their faults.

Yet another great book by Victoria!! So hard to not spoil anything, this was a book that really made me think. I thought oh my gosh she did not. Yep she did and then I thought about it. This was a great book I loved the plot and the twist that she put in. I think this book ended like it needed to :0)

CRAVE will leave you breathless. I experienced a myriad of emotions throughout and cried tears of joy and sadness. Most romantic, epic and hands down best love story I've ever read! No other book or character has had such a profound, lingering effect on me as Crave...Crave's and Rosie's story has impacted me so as to be immortalized in my heart & mind forever <3

This is a wonderful story with great characters and a storyline that I couldn’t put down! I loved the Black Swan series and didn’t think there was anything better, but this is just as excellent. Victoria Danann has a wonderful imagination and her writing style is great from beginning to end!

What happened? I'm reading along loving Carnal and Rosie's story and then...WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!?

I don't read ROMANCE books to read about main characters DYING! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!??!! I am so upset by this book, I'm not sure I can read any of the other Exiled books. Black Swan...yet. Exiled...HECK to the NO!

what can i say? this story wasn't just heartrending, it was heart shredding! brilliant storyline with a cast of usual and new characters. to say i had tears running down my face at the end is a testament to Victoria's ability to draw the reader into a new reality. thank you and can't wait for more although i felt it was so unfair to teach Rosie her life lesson so harshly. rip Carnal

Victoria Danaan has really done it this time. Connected to the Black Swann by birth, Elora Rose Storm takes us on an adventure in another dimension. Funny, exciting and horrific. Humans do not disappoint in their ability to behave badly...

This author builds a world so real you lose yourself in the book. This is an alternate dimmension from her series, and it feels as real as all her other books. She is at the top of my favorite author list.

As always Victoria Danann wrote a book that pulled you in and mad you a part of the characters lives. The storyline of Rosie and Carnal is believable that their real. The romance is bittersweet there is no happily ever after but it's fantastic to watch them grow in love. Thank you Victoria Danann.

It's time to revise the rating system because Carnal blew away the fifth star on the way to the one hundredth star. I read Rosie and Carnal's story in a day, over several hours. There wasn't a single emotion of mine that wasn't shoved through the ringer. Victoria's humor peppered through this story of Rosie's growth into maturity. I rolled with her emotions from chapter one to the final page. The fact I felt so strongly for this story, as strongly as her first book to her last, gives me hope that Victoria will never disappoint in her writing. I really cannot convey the scope of this story without spoilers, so I leave it in your hands, audience, to invest in Victoria, in Carnal. It is on my top shelf keeper.

Sad ending but so worth every page! Really explains some of the story since I read this out of order. Rosie has some hard lessons to learn and we are privileged to learn them with her! Another home run by Victoria Danann.
