Southern Heat by Natasha Madison (Southern #6)

 

💜💜💜💜

Have tissues & chocolate for this one! Southern Heat is a heart-stopping whirlwind that will grab your heart in a vice and not let go until the very end.

The amount of torment and emotional abuse that Willow has suffered in her life would be enough to destroy even the strong person, and yet she still takes one day at a time.

Watching her struggle to recover, but always having her black bag ready to go in case she has to run at the last minute, is guaranteed to break your heart.

Quinn is protectively enamored with Willow after he rescues her, and is by her side non-stop. His insta-love is endearing, especially the more his family becomes involved. The only battle he faces is trying to convince her that she can depend on people, him in particular.

A beautifully tragic story of finding trust and happiness after losing everything, even if things don't work out the way you thought they would. My heart still aches just thinking about this story, but I've loved every second of the journey.

SUMMARY:

Willow

After being left for dead, I was given a fresh start by my knight in shining armor.

My protector.

I never had a family before they took me in.

But I don't know how to stay or trust.

I always had a bag packed and ready just in case I needed to escape again.

Like they say, old habits die hard.

Being in the shadows is lonely, but lonely is safe.

Quinn

I was the quiet one, the one who stood in the back and watched things unfold. The cowboy who only cared about his horses instead of the glory.

Until I found her fighting for her life. Something inside me shifted, and I couldn't stop it.

I couldn't stop protecting her.

I fell in love with her with one look because she was my soul mate.

Even though I knew I couldn't make her stay.

Fallen Saint by Monica James (All The Pretty Things Trilogy #2)

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Nothing can prepare you for Fallen Saint! I didn't think anything could top Bad Saint, but man was I wrong. Monica James brings the intensity to a whole new level, leaving you breathless and wanting more.

Now that Alek is in the picture, all bets are off and the rules have changed. Part of you will want to trust him and believe that he truly cares for Willow, but then you see how he treats others and the doubt fills you again. I found myself falling for him, while waiting for the other shoe to drop...

Saint and Willow must hide their feelings, as it would be used against them and possibly result in their deaths. The one thing that Willow treasures, may be the only thing that can save her life.

Dark, twisted characters that will make you want to lock up your daughter and keep her safe. The hardest part is never knowing who is a friend or foe.

Saint is still the ever-brooding heart breaker, but I wouldn't change a single thing about him. I do love that we get a deeper look into his feelings, but now I just want to read Bad Saint again, to match up certain events.

I'm hoping Willow will have the chance for revenge against her husband in the final book. She's grown in to such a fighter, willing to do anything for those she cares about.

A sweet torture, that is the epitome of dark romance - Fallen Saint will hold you hostage until the final page, and even then your mind will keep thinking of possible outcomes. This trilogy is one of the best in this genre, and one I'll definitely come back to revisit.

Summary:
Just as this nightmare began, I once again find myself bound, destination unknown. However, this time, my kidnapper is the man who shattered my world beyond repair.

Aleksei Popov - Russia's number one mobster, and the man I was sold to.

His intentions for me are clear - submit, obey him, and call him master - but I won't surrender. I'm not like the other girls. Whether that's a blessing or curse, I've yet to decide. The problem is, my disobedience intrigues my captor all the more.

When we arrive in Russia, the rules change.

Saint, the man who was once a sinner, is my only salvation. What was forbidden now gives me hope that there is light in the darkness. He will risk everything to set me free.

But behind these opulent walls, things aren't what they seem, and when the fine line between pleasure and pain begins to blur, only one thing matters - saving my soul.

I will lie.
Cheat.
Steal.

I was once an angel, but now...I'm a fallen saint, ready to inflict my own pain and burn this hellhole to the ground.
