CHRISTINA’S FIVE STAR REVIEW
This. Book. I’m honestly having a hard time writing this review without crying because that’s how emotional, deep, heartfelt and raw it was. Not in a bad way, so don’t even go there. No, this was in the best way. Any author that can create characters that you literally cry for should be handed an award. Seriously, THAT’S talent!
First, I feel like I should state that if you’re thinking about reading this as a standalone, DON’T. Although you could, the books in this series “overlap” in timeline. So reading them in order amplifies your experience tenfold when secrets and twists become evident.
Emily’s life has been planned for her since birth. Coming from a wealthy influential family, her husband has already been chosen for her, whether she likes him or not. And trust me, it’s a not. Having to be the “good girl” all the time is far from what she wants. So when the opportunity arrives for her to live a little, she takes the jump. But what was supposed to be 6 weeks of fun has turned in to heartache that’s lasted over ten years. How do you get your heart to understand that it can’t always get what it wants? Or can it?
Ezra, better known as Violence, is one of the Inferno men. There’s a reason he’s known by that name, and a reason he and his twin brother Damon are feared. When someone is used and abused the way they were, it’s easy for others to assume the bruises are a product of their wild behavior. Except not everyone thinks that. In fact, Emily is the only person, other than the Inferno men, who has looked deeper. And now that she has, giving her up, even to his brother, isn’t an option.
Although this book doesn’t “focus” on the underlining issue of the servers and finding answers to the Inferno situation (read the first two books), this does provide more background information pertaining to things that have already happened and where this series may be going. I know…cryptic, but necessary.
You know what you CAN expect reading this book? Fear, lust, hate, gutted love and twists that will leave you with your mouth hanging open in shock. So grab some tissues, chocolate and something strong to drink and buckle up, because you won’t be able to put this down!
Violence Also Known As Ezra Cross
He’s one of a pair. Identical twin to Damon. And an enforcer for the Inferno if one is ever needed.
I knew better than to get involved with him. With his aggression. With the constant fights. With the games the twins were known to play with every woman stupid enough to fall for them.
We made a mistake when we met again as adults. I fell in love. He fell in love. His brother fell in love, too.
What used to be a good time is now a tragedy.
Our story is messy. It’s cruel. It’s forbidden.
Despite all that, Ezra refuses to let go.
*** Each novel in the series depicts a unique romance, but the plots through each book connect in one world. For the best experience, read the series in order. Nine Dangerous Men. Nine Unrepentant Sinners. Nine Irresistible Manipulators.
