If I should die before I wake…
Then my soul is Caesar’s to take. He pulls me down, he lifts me up.
And then he leaves me in the muck.
If I should fall before I fly…
Then they know it was the fault of mine. He taught me better, he led the way.
I just didn’t know how to stay.
And if I should not gain his heart…
Fuck that, he made me this way. Curled my thoughts and twisted me.
He belongs to me, forever.
WARNING: This book is DARK. So dark, I barely found my way writing it. Know this. Understand it. Believe it. It’s one long warning from beginning to end, but the love found between the pages is everlasting. This is NOT a conventional couple, and they don’t come together with rainbows and silver linings. There’s pain. There’s violence. There’s blood. You have been warned. Please … Please, walk away if a filthy dark story isn’t right for you. You will find no softness here. But if you like it so dark the sun won’t make you feel warm again, then you’ve found the right place, and Caesar is waiting.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I have to stay this is a romance but not the easiest one your ever going to read. There may be certain events that will trigger some people.
Caesar and Ashlyn do not meet under any kind of normal circumstances. In fact he takes her. They are both two very messed up characters. Ashlyn never stood a chance between her brother and his friend and a mother who could have cared less. Caesar is a crime boss in Miami and no one messes with him. However Ashlyn is offered up to him basically on a silver platter. However, all she has ever wanted is to be free of the life she never asked for. Now in the clutches of Caesar Ashlyn has given up any hope of the life she should have had and deserved.
I am not really what to say about this book without giving everything away. There is so much that happens that you are sucked in from the first page and kept reading as fast as you can to the last. This story isn’t pretty and it isn’t your typical romance by any means. Its dark. Really really dark. I however am a fan of dark books and loved every second of it. But, I will admit some of the parts were really hard to read. Just buckle up and enjoy. I’m not giving anything away.
About LeTeisha Newton
Writing professionally since 2008, LeTeisha Newton’s love of romance novels began long before it should have. After spending years sneaking reads from her grandmother’s stash, she finally decided to pen her own tales. As many will do during their youth, she bounced from fantasy, urban literature, mainstream, interracial, paranormal, heterosexual, and LGBT works until she finally rested in contemporary romance.
LeTeisha is all about deep angst and angry heroes who take a bit more loving to smooth their rough edges. Love comes in many sizes, shapes, and colors, as well as with—or without—absolute beauty and fairy tale sweetness. She writes the darker tales because life is hard … but love is harder.
