REVIEW & RELEASE: Torn



Torn
Series: Dark Legacy Duet #2
Author: Natasha Knight
Genre: Dark Romance 
Release Date: November 14, 2018

BLURB


Taking her is my right.
Breaking her, my duty.

I was always going to choose Helena. I knew it the instant I saw her.

She’s different than the others. There’s a darkness about her. Something wild inside her. And it calls to the beast inside me.

But she isn’t what I expect. With every word and every touch, she pushes me, burrows deep under my skin, challenging the rules, upending history.

And all the while, I see how my brother watches her. He wants her, and as the rules stand, she’ll become his in one year’s time.

Except that I have no intention of giving her up.

MY REVIEW

Torn by Natasha Knight is the second book in the Dark Legacy Duet.

As provocative as it is engrossing, this book will have you on the edge of your seat.

Torn starts off where Taken left off. Helena must do everything in her power,now more than ever, to secure her happily ever after while finding a way to end the tradition for future Willow daughters.

Stirred into the mix however is Gregory, Sebastian’s brother. It now seems like both brothers will not let her go without a fight. Can anyone win in a game where everyone is destined to lose?

This was another fast paced and well written story. Although not as suspenseful as the first book, this author has without a doubt turned up the sensuality several notches.

It is not where I thought the book was heading but I was completely surprised and satiated with the end result.

I must say that I loved Sebastian and Gregory in equal measure and I am hoping that Gregory gets his story written in the near future, sigh!

Natasha Knight has written a seductive and page turning duet that will leave you begging for more!

I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

REVIEW & RELEASE: Taken



Taken
Series: Dark Legacy Duet #1
Author: Natasha Knight
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: October 29, 2018

Blurb


I’m one of four Willow daughters.

He’s the first-born son of the Scafoni family. And we have history.

For generations, the Scafoni family have demanded a sacrifice of us. A
virgin daughter to atone for sins so old, we don’t even remember what they are
anymore.

But when you have as much money as they do, you don’t play by the rules.
You make them.

And Sebastian Scafoni makes all the rules.

The moment I saw him, I knew he would choose me. Even though the mark on
my sheath declared me unclean. Even though my beautiful sisters stood beside
me, offered to him, he still chose me.

He made me his.

And then he set out to break me.

 MY REVIEW

Dark, consuming and page turning, Taken is absolutely mind blowing!

Helena is one of four Willow daughters. Sebastian is the eldest Scafoni son. Due to past transgressions, every generation, one Willow daughter is sacrificed to the whims of the Scafoni sons, starting with the oldest.

When Sebastian chooses Helena, she promises to find a way to end the awful tradition. But it’s not easy. With no one to trust besides the Sebastian, she must put her trust in him even though he is her enemy.

Will she be strong enough to survive and break the tradition?

This book excites and thrills from the very first page to the last. Full of suspense and heartbreak this book is nothing short of utterly addictive.

I was awed by Helena’s strength. She is a phenomenal character with tons of backbone. She is no meek princess.

Sebastian is commanding, demanding and possessive. He is dark and pushes Helena ever more towards her breaking point. Helena will not roll over and play dead however and this causes some power plays between them that were riveting.

Natasha Knight has without a doubt rocked this book!

Please note that this book ends on a cliff-hanger and has dark themes that may cause triggers.

I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

REVIEW & RELEASE: Giovanni



Giovanni
Author: Natasha Knight
Genre: Dark Mafia Romance
Release Date: July 17, 2018

BLURB

I’m the right-hand man of the mafia king. 
She’s a girl with a past she’s desperate to hide. 

But I need something from her. 
And I know she won’t help me. Not willingly.
She’ll need some persuading. 

Lucky for her, I can do that. 

Something about this girl makes me curious, though, and it’s more than the scars that line her back. She’s on the edge of something.  Something bad. She’s like a perfect, beautiful doll coming apart at the seams. And the last string is about to snap.

She thinks I’ll hurt her. Break her. 
But thing is, she’s already broken. And she and I, we’re two peas in a pod. She’s my match, the perfect opponent. She’ll fight me to the finish, but I’ll win. I always do. 

Because I’m a man used to getting what I want. And what I want is her.  

Author’s Note: Giovanni is a STANDALONE dark mafia romance set in the Benedetti Brothers Mafia World. It’s an emotionally gripping enemies-to-lovers romance with a hard-earned HEA.

my review ⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I’m not a pushover. I’ll fight. I’ll claw out their eyes if I have to, but I’ll fight because not fighting makes you a victim.” -Emilia

Emilia has a traumatizing past that she escaped from years ago and yet she is still dealing with the aftermath everyday. For all her bravado, she does not feel safe or protected.

“I’m not a good man. I know who I am, and I don’t pretend to be anyone else.”-Giovanni

Giovanni is a man seeking revenge. Unable to bring his prey out into the open, he demands the man’s sister, Emilia, reach out to him.

When they meet each other, the attraction is instantaneous and distrust is paramount. The passion between them is red hot.

Will Giovanni be able to help Emilia overcome her past once and for all? Or, will the distrust and secrets between them tear them apart for good?

This was an emotionally gripping read that packed a punch. It is told in dual POV.

The topics it covers are written tactfully but could still cause triggers.

The plot is a little slow but there are a lot of hot & steamy scenes to keep you company along the way.

I was disappointed somewhat in the ending. It felt a little rushed. There is really no clear wrap up as to why Giovanni was so actively seeking Emilia’s brother. It was never fully explained.

I am also wondering about Giovanni’s dad. It feels like he is a loose end. Why did he approach Emilia? What was his exact motive?

Giovanni. My heart is in his hands. For all that he is brutal, he is a protector first and foremost. He shows this in the way he always and continuously comes to Emilia’s aid in every way. He is her rock. Her protector. Her Lover.

Emilia is strong yet broken. I loved that even though she was scared a few times, she never backed down. My favorite part is when she comes full circle with Giovanni. She finds in him what she has been looking for since she left home.

This was an entertaining read that I enjoyed thoroughly. I cannot wait to see what Natasha Knight puts out next.

I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

REVIEW & BLITZ: Sergio


Sergio: A Dark Mafia Romance
Author: Natasha Knight
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: April 23, 2018

BLURB

I’m the first-born son of the mafia king. The favorite. Destined to rule, I’m a dangerous man, a ruthless one. But in my world, you have to be.

Then Natalie stumbles into my life. Wrong place. Wrong time.

Twice, fate put her in my path.
Twice, fate placed the innocent lamb at the mercy of the monster.

I gave her a chance to walk away. Told her it would be better for her if she did.
But she didn’t listen.
And now it’s too late.
Because I’m not good. I never wanted to be. And I won’t let her go anymore. See, I’m not the hero. When I touch her, it’s with dirty hands.

I know my reckoning is coming though. I know I’ll burn for the things I’ve done, the sins I’ve committed. And I don’t deny hell is where I belong, but I want my time first. I want my time with her.

She’s mine.
Forever.
No matter what.

Author’s Note: Sergio: a Dark Mafia Romance is an intensely emotional, steamy and dark standalone romance set in the Benedetti Brothers Mafia world. Be prepared: this is not a traditional romance.

REVIEW

Sergio Benedetti is the firstborn son of a mafia king.  He is the favourite and destined to rule.  He is cold, cruel and unfeeling.  He is also unforgiving, manipulative, powerful and damn sexy.

Natalie was in the wrong place at the wrong time twice in her life and in both instances, it led her to Sergio.  This time, Sergio will not let her go.  FOREVER. NO MATTER WHAT.

I needed to exhale a huge breath before writing this review.  I think I was holding my breath anticipating something that was not going to happen.  That couldn’t happen because the story had to be told this way.  I’m shook.  I also have a love/hate relationship with this book.

I LOVE IT! It was beautifully written and perfectly paced.  It is intriguing, captivating and emotional.  It is brilliant.  A one of a kind read.

I HATE IT! (not really).  It is gut wrenching and hard.  It is bittersweet and I’m an emotional mess.

I listened to Sergio’s song, Darlin’ by Houndmouth, before I read this book and it set a mood.  An overcast, a shadow, an omen.  Almost like devastation was near.

The synopsis of this book had me all kinds of excited to read it.  



Natasha’s foreword was gripping, almost a warning.  For what, I did not know but I had a feeling this would be a dark read unlike any other.  I felt anxious and ready for anything.  I was wrong. 

After the prologue, I was completely invested. 

This book had me feeling dread, anticipation, excitement, love and so many other things.  I knew this book was leading me somewhere.  As it did, the tension and anticipation I felt kept mounting.

As for the conclusion, I was left speechless and confounded and emotionally wrung out.

Although the story has ended, I know this story and its characters will linger.  This is a TRUE book hangover.  It’s not pretty but it is a real and honest portrayal.

I can’t forget to thank Natasha Knight for breaking my heart so beautifully.  It will never be the same. 

This is not a traditional romance.  It does not pretend to be.  This is also NOT a story that you want told.  This is a story that MUST be told.  This book is for those of you that know love is not easy. That you must take care and savor every moment.  To those who know if they’re lucky, they will meet and fall in love with that special one.  That special one who will be THEIRS, FOREVER, NO MATTER WHAT.

I received this exquisite book as an ARC.  All thoughts, feelings and opinions are my own.

PS:  What are you waiting for?  1-Click this baby right now!!!
