Oaths and Omissions by Sav R. Miller
5.0

A dark contemporary romance inspired by the Helen of Troy and Trojan War Myths? SIGN ME UP. The sheltered beautiful daughter who is used to further enhance her father’s image has finally had enough. Lenny Primrose is a puppet, she is used by her father for his reputation and nothing else. Not even after a horrible and traumatic experience has left her shattered did her father help her, she has been shut out of society and forced to do what her family wants.. but ever since that incident that shattered her, Lenny has been practicing self defense and trying to find some semblance of peace... and then she meets the one person that would destroy her family... literally. Jonas Wolfe is a killer and he absolutely hates the Primrose family for their hand in his father’s death. What better way to get back at them then by getting close to the precious Primrose Princess... except what Jonas doesn’t take into account is that she is nothing he ever expected and that he might be the one falling for her. When Jonas catches Lenny covered in blood and with a dead body he is absolutely thrown off but he can’t seem to stop thinking about her. Lenny isn’t at all like what the public has said, she’s fierce, she’s artistic, and she’s bloodthirsty. Lenny wants nothing more than to escape her family, and the tipping point is when her father allows her abuser to come back into her life... and even opens the possibility of him marrying her, so what better way to get out of this situation than to propose a fake relationship with the one man her father fears? While Jonas and Lenny begin a fake relationship their past hurts and their own twisted romance begins to show and both of them begin to realize that there is nothing fake about what they feel. This was a fantastic read and I love that we get to see previous characters ( Kal and Elena, my favs) and I can’t wait to see where the next book goes ( we already get hints of it in this one). Lenny, my sweet sweet girl, how I absolutely adored her. Lenny is a survivor, she isn’t going to go down without a fight and I love that for her. Jonas was a bit twisted, but in the best way possible, and his love and care for Lenny were everything.
