This story was dark, twisted and unconventional. I couldn’t put it down. Percivale and Blossom’s story was not the norm. She was just suppose to be a job, but Perc was drawn to her, there was something about her that made him want to know her, to draw out the darkness he knew what buried deep within her.

Percivale, that man is dark, dirty and the ultimate bad boy. Who could blame Blossom for being so attracted to him. He knew he wasn’t the man for her, too. He knew that Blossom deserved someone better than him, someone who wasn’t a hitman and didn’t have a mission for revenge. I loved watching their relationship change from a job, to captor/hostage, to something more. I love that this isn’t a conventional romance and how they both had to fight for their lives and decide if sacrificing themselves is worth it, especially if it means the other person can have the life and the happiness they deserve.

I’ve recently discovered S.M. Soto and she can seriously write some dark books and I love each and every single one of them. There is just something about her writing that draws me in and I instantly fall in love with the story and the characters.

A Cruel Love was dark, violent, full of heat (and I mean this book should come with a warning label), full of action, suspense and drama.

If you are a fan of dark romances, mafia romances or really anything I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book.
