Blurb: I’ve spent years trying to be someone I’m not. Controlled and humanized. Still, the darkness lurks inside me, waiting for a chance to break free. As the headmaster at Corium University, I must maintain professionalism and keep myself in check. I manage to do that until the day I discover I have a daughter and all the carefully constructed walls I’ve built around myself start to crumble. I know I need an outlet, a way to shut it off, and then she lands in my lap. Delilah. I want to punish her, humiliate her, and hurt her in the best ways. It’s nothing but a cat and mouse game till I discover the secrets she’s hiding…
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is a dark age gap bully romance. You will need to heed the warnings in the beginning of the book as it will contain triggers for some readers.
This is the story of Lucas and Delilah. This is also the fourth book in the series and if you haven’t read them you need to do that before diving in to Ruins of Temptation. You will know who Lucas is from those book and now it is time to shine the spotlight on him and his story. Finally we get the true him and I was loving every single second of it.
Lucas is the headmaster of Corium University and he has a dark side to him that he tries his level best to keep that part of him hidden. When his parents were murdered he took his anger and channeled it into becoming a ruthless underground fighter. To say he has a split personality is a understatement. He will for sure give you whiplash with his personality switches. He too is struggling with finding out that he has had a daughter Aspen that he never knew about. He carries so much guilt for not being able to be there when she needed someone the most. He is a man who has this burning need for revenge after what happened to Aspen. His only way to get revenge just might be in the form of Delilah who is the last living connection to the boy who attacked Aspen. She is now married to Quinton and he has killed everyone involved and their families but Delilah is the last lose end and he can’t for the life of him break her down so that she will betray who she is protecting. He then has the brilliant idea to get Lucas to deal with her since Quinton doesn’t want her dead. This should be an easy to do thing and he will finally have his revenge. But Delilah is a surprise to a man who is a psychopath and does not know how to love. I don’t want to talk about to much more of the story because there is so much that goes on and I don’t want to accidently give out a spoiler. Once you pick this book up you will not be able to put it down. It was dark and delicious and I loved every single second of it.
