My Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend…”
Aria Talvery is the daughter of the most
violent crime family around. She becomes
a casualty when she is abducted and then given to Carter Cross to start a war.
Carter sees an opportunity to get everything
he’s ever wanted when an enemy of the Talvery family approaches him. He agrees to help the faction but only IF
they meet his demand.
“The best laid plans…”
Carter does not do anything without a reason. He is cold calculating and merciless. But, he starts to change his plans the more
Aria spends as his unwilling captive. He
realizes how broken she is but he cannot and will not let her go. As days pass, Aria works her way under his
skin. His cool demeanour thaws while the
passion between them explodes. But,
passion does not equal love or freedom and that’s what Aria needs and wants
most.
Will
Carter ever become merciful enough to set her free?
This book was phenomenal! It is a darkly thrilling, exciting and
engaging read. It is told in dual
POV. The pace is perfect and the story
flowed so well, upping the angst and the thrill as it progressed. I was riveted. It is a little different from this author’s
normal writing style, leaning more towards “romantic thriller”, but I relished
it nonetheless. It is also the second
book in a series of standalones that are interconnected.
Time ceased to exist as I read this book. I was consumed throughout. There was so much tension in this book that
you could cut it with a knife. The
desire between the characters was palpable.
The writing pulled me in and kept me
engaged. In alternate parts of this
book, my breath came ragged and shallow due to the anticipation while others I
held in my breath with dread. Not to
mention fanning myself from the scorching hot sex scenes!
As for the characters, Carter was a sexy,
obsessive and possessive man. He was
more of an antihero but I loved his character and his possessiveness. Aria is broken from a past trauma and she is
a strong as she can possibly be, considering.
Her character was well-written and I found myself feeling for her plight
and having my stomach drop in fear for her.
This is an all encompassing read about setting
yourself free and facing your fears. The story resonated with me. What Carter does for Aria and how this author
wrote it was masterful. I absolutely
loved it!
At the end of the book, I felt at odds with myself. I didn’t want this story to end and I guess I
got what I was looking for because of the cliff-hanger ending but GRRR!!! I
don’t want to wait! I’m so excited to
continue their story in the upcoming book Heartless!
Recommended to those who like passionate
romance with a dark thrill.
I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author. She likes her action hot and her bad boys hotter. She certainly doesn’t hold back on either one in her writing!
Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.
In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!
