Heart Recaptured
by Tillie Cole
This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance
So Heart Recaptured is a wonderful book and continues on the Hades Hangman series. Now, this author writes dark romance and there is subject matter that won’t be for everyone. So fair warning that it does have some trigger warning but I do admire what this author has done with the idea of this series with a blend of a MC and dealing with religious cults and many things we see have happened in real life and I love it when authors bring attention to situations that not many are aware of, but it can be difficult to see this happen.
In Heart Recaptured we have Delilah or also likes to be known as “Lilah” and where she and her sister have been rescued. Lilah however never wanted to be rescued. She grew up in the culture of the religious cult, and she did have a family, but when her father and childhood friend attacked her sexually, she was viewed as “evil” and was sent away. But her faith is all that she knows and believes in and she doesn’t know how to handle Ky’s attention or the Motorcycle Club, its so different from anything she has ever known and she fears the outside. When Ky is instructed to help Lilah adapt to her new life, there begins to have some genuine emotion between them form and a close bond develops between them but her old lifestyle and her new life will come to battle with each other and Lilah will have to make a difficult choice…
I adored this story quite a bit, although not quite as much as book one and mostly because there is more crude language from the hero that I didn’t care for. In the MC culture, it probably isn’t that offensive, but it just rubbed me the wrong way so be warned that the language might be too strong at times although it does soften towards the end. The heroine was way more entrenched into the faith than the other two sisters so we see how she really battles with herself much more than the other women have. I did enjoy seeing her find what Christian Faith really is all about and leave behind the lies that she has been told all of her life.
And it was quite interesting seeing the biggest playboy of the MC, fall head over heels in love with Lilah. And we see a different side to his character and seeing Ky show her what life can really be and embrace it was very enchanting and tugs you instantly into their story and you just don’t want to let go and whew….the last part of the story gets pretty intense though and not what I quite expected and Tillie Cole always can get my heart rate up and kept me fully engaged in the story and definitely a thrilling quick read to endear the reader in ways you don’t imagine will happen. A TRUE ADVENTURE!

“Ky, my heart...it beats for you. My lungs, they breathe for you. My soul..."
Ky's eyes filled with emotion as I spoke.
"What sweet cheeks? Tell me," he asked, a hint of desperation in his voice.
"My soul...belongs to you. You saved me, baby. You wanted me for the me inside. Even looking like this, you make me believe I am enough.”

“I love you, Li. Christ, I fuckin' love you," he confessed. I could hear the disbelief and shock laced in his voice. My heart swelled and I began to think of a life with him. A life far from all I had been taught was true, but my soul was attached to his...joined, melded with his.
