Bullseye will break your heart! Monica James is the master of romantic suspense, and don't even get me started on her crazy plot twists. My recommendation when reading any of her books is to throw all expectations out the window, and brace yourself for a wild ride that will wreck you in the best of ways.
Bullseye has had 12 years to plan his revenge on those that took the one thing he cared about, away from him. He'll stop at nothing until then and the last thing he needs is a woman to serve as a distraction, let alone get tied up in the darkness he dwells in.
Lily is doing the best she can as a single mother, while holding on to her dignity and self-respect. She's incredibly strong for someone that has had everything ripped away from her and continues to struggle on a daily basis.
This book ripped my heart out and held it in it's fragile hands from the first chapter...I'm not sure I'll ever get it back. With characters that will gut you, making you go back and forth between wanting to yell or cry, all while loving them with your whole heart.
Bullseye is a book I recommend clearing your schedule to read, as you won't be able to focus on anything else until you've finished. A beautifully woven and twisted tale by an author that has no shame in stomping on my heart. I need the next book now!

Summary:
For twelve long years, I've breathed, I've bled for only one thing...
Revenge.
Four men took something from me, something which can never be replaced. That one night changed the lives of so many and taught me that monsters are real.
But I also learned I'm the biggest monster of them all.
Nothing and no one will stand in my way of redemption because those men...they're now three. The fourth -- he is the reason they call me Bullseye. They can run, but sooner or later, I'll find them, just as I did with their friend. They're already dead...they just don't know it yet.
My plan was simple until I met her. A fierce tiger who had the power to break my heart. Lucky for me...she can't break what's already broken. I am no longer a man because the world is a jungle, and we're all just animals -- ready to tear one another apart.

Forever My Saint has irrevocably wrecked me in the best of ways! While it was pure torture to wait for the third book to release (and you MUST read the first two before reading the book OR this any further), I wouldn't change a page, moment or tear shed.
I can't count the number of times I wanted to message the author and ask her WTF she was thinking. On several occasions, I either wanted to throw my Kindle or binge on an entire carton of ice cream to soothe my soul.
Readers will get the answers they've been looking for, and the closure they may not want, but the ride is worth the end. Saint will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I have a new appreciation for Dark Romances AND their authors!

Summary:
All hope was lost until Zoey Hennessy walked back into my world, shaking it up beyond repair when she uttered two simple words.
He's alive.
She speaks of her brother, my Saint, the man who lost everything to set me free.
I believed he was dead. I saw it with my own two eyes. But when Zoey proves he's alive and being held captive by a monster, I know what I have to do.
It's time I saved him.
The plan is dangerous, and there are no guarantees I will survive. But if this nightmare has taught me one thing, it's that I don't cower in fear. I am a woman hell-bent on getting back the man she loves, and nothing, no one will stand in my way.
However, what I uncover can only be described as hell on earth. The darkness has finally won, and Saint is lost to me forever.
Or so I thought.
Aleksei Popov is anything but a hero, yet in this story - he's mine. Everything I believed in is about to be turned upside down, and with freedom within my grasp, I wonder how far I will go, and who I will sacrifice in order to set myself free.

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.

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.

I literally couldn't put this book down last night, even when my eyes kept watering and I knew I should get some sleep. This dark romance takes you on an epic adventure, with danger around every corner (chapter), and plenty of action both in and out of the sheets.
I never knew I could go from cheering for a character, to crying with them, to wanting to slap the ever-loving shi!t out of them - and that was all within the same chapter, on several occasions. Well-written, Bad Saint will captivate you from the first chapter.
Dark romances aren't my typical read, but I'm SO glad I took a plunge with this one. Holy cow - I'm definitely a new covert to Monica James! Knowing that it's a trilogy when you start, I found myself mildly prepared for how the book ends, but I can't wait until the next one.
Fair warning:
There are some scenes that could be triggers for some readers, so be aware as you dive in.
