After finishing book one, Stolen Hearts, I was DYING to get my hands on Broken Hearts. I needed to know what would happen next. Broken Hearts is captivating, full of twists and turns, plenty of secrets and a whole lot of questions.

I love Ronan and Poppy. Their chemistry is explosive. The push and pull between them, the tension. It is completely addicting. I loved getting more about Ronan and it really gave a lot of insight into who he is and explains a lot about why he views himself as he does.

There is plenty of suspense throughout the story, plenty of steamy, lots of twists and secrets and once again an ending that leaves you wanting the next book in the trilogy. I can’t wait to see where Ronan and Poppy’s story is going to go next!!

After Father Tyler Bell’s life was shattered he turned to religion that destroyed his family. He devoted his life to the church…until Poppy walked in.

Poppy is pure temptation to Father Bell from the moment they meet. He spends so much of this story fighting that temptation, the desires he feels for this woman. There is plenty of steamy scenes and I don’t know if I’ll be able to look at a church alter again without thinking of Father Bell, again.

I loved Father Bell. His struggles and the sacrifices he made throughout the story only made me love his character even more. He was somewhat broken, devoted and he was caring. I loved that this story was primarily told from his POV and gave so much more insight to him and his thoughts.
Poppy, she was hit or miss for me. At times I enjoyed her character and other times, I don’t know. I’m still kind of on the fence about her. There were a few little glimpses into her POV and I did enjoy those little tidbits.

While I love Father Bell, I love Sean Bell even more.

Zenny is getting close to the final stages of becoming a nun, but in the final month she purposes a plan to Sean….and it is an offer that he can’t refuse, even if he know that he should. She is young (21) and has very little experience in a lot of things, however, she also isn’t afraid to go after what she wants and I loved how she really came out of her shell and grew as a woman throughout this story. Sean is a wicked, dirty man and I couldn’t get enough of him. But he also has a caring and protective side to him and those are things that only a very select group of people are keen to.

I loved Zenny and Sean together. They both helped each other grow so much and overcome demons of the past. They are also heating up the pages, because there is so much steam going on. Seriously, you’ll need to fan yourself a few times!

While this story is forbidden and steamy, it was also emotional and full of so much more than just the romance between these two characters and that’s what I loved most about it.

Broken Hate is a rollercoaster of story. There are twists and turns left and right, secrets and lies, love and hate. Ace and Astraea’s story is not your typical romance. There are a TON of moving parts to their story and each character in this plays a role.

I got sucked completely into the story and pretty much devoured this entire story from start to finish. I loved the secrets, the twists and of course, I love seeing how everything played out and the growth of these characters from the first book in the series to where they are now.

I loved the bond and the connection between Ace and Astraea from the start. The tension between them was killer at times and I Just wanted to yell at them. I also loved the relationship between Astraea and Emmett and Noah. All these characters have a special bond with each other and it is unique.

I can’t wait to see more of these characters and see how they all continue to grow!

If you’re looking for a dark, somewhat suspenseful, brothers best friend, enemies to lovers romance this is one to check out BUT make sure you check out books 1 and 2 first!

I don’t even know where to begin with this book or with Noah and Kim. From the first three books and the novella of this series I knew the two of them had insane amounts of chemistry, but also knew that they had a very explosive relationship.

The push and pull between these characters is intense at times. Noah and Kim know how to push each other’s buttons in the best and in the worst of ways. The hate, the rage, the lust, the passion that burns between these two just oozes off the pages at times. Everything about them is addicting and leaves you wanting more.

They have both been secondary characters up until this point in the series. I loved getting pieces of the past between them in the form of texts and of course, seeing where they are no in the present. Both, Kim and Noah, are damaged characters. There has been a lot of pain, loss and suffering in their pasts. Yet, I love that together they shut that out even if for a brief moment and just existence in their own little world.

Noah is full of rage and hurt, yet I loved at times throughout the story a softer side came out, a much more caring side. There is a lot more to him, but only certain people get to see that in him. Kim is the same way. She puts on a brave face and acts tough, but there is a lot more to her than what meets the eye.

Fair warning this does mention things that may be hard for some people to read, so be warned. I’m also going to pretend that the last chapter of this story does exist because I was in shock and I still am in shock over that cliffy!

This book. I fell in love with Peyton and Xander. They were both so broken and lost. Their story was full of so much pain, emotion and hope.

Peyton has experienced more than anyone should by the time they her age. Now, she lost her mother in a way that deeply hurt her. Her entire world was shattered and she just didn’t know what to do. Xander’s world was shattered a long time ago, but he never recovered. There is still guilt that he carries around after all these years. One fateful night brough these two people together when they needed it most, but will they be able to save each other?

I absolutely loved Peyton and Xander. They shared a connection that very few people would ever understand. However, there is so much more to them than just their shared broken pasts. Their journey isn’t easy. It is heartbreaking, it is raw and it is emotional, but there is also a beauty in it.

I am absolutely ADDICTED to Winston, Ash and their twisted games they play. I can’t get enough of these two. Nothing about them is conventional, but that is what makes these two characters stand out so much. However, throughout this story you can feel things starting to shift between their dynamic and feelings starting to come more into play.

I love the relationship between Winston and Ash. She is still feisty and sassy and has no problems with pushing this man buttons with ridiculous requests and coupons. I love that you can tell Winston secretly enjoys it, even though he acts annoyed by it at times. I love that Ash isn’t a weak character, she is a fighter, especially when it comes to her stepbrothers.

I am DYING to know how Winston and Ash’s story will end after the ending of this book, though. I am fully on Team Constantine!

If you’re looking for a super steamy, forbidden, age gap romance that also is a modern retelling of Cinderella this is one to check out! Make sure you start with book one, Stroke of Midnight.

Mia and Julian’s story was a long, emotional journey but in the end it was completely worth the wait.

The story picks up where things were left in Cruel Kisses and is full of action and suspense and some background for about the first half the story. At the half way mark things shift and there is the aftermath of what happened previous and the answers to all the unanswered questions in from the previous books.

Mia and Julian’s relationship was never easy and probably seemed doomed from the start but the two of them were always drawn to each other and I loved learning how they truly got their start together. There is chemistry between them, there is so much love but there is also so much pain and guilt. Their journey throughout this book completely gutted me at times and I never stopped cheering for them. I absolutely love the two of them and that they never once gave up on each other despite everything.

There are parts of this story that may be difficult for some people to read so keep that in mind while reading this book. It also isn’t a standalone you’ll need to read the first two books before jumping into this one.

I can’t wait to return to this world and get little glimpses of Mia and Julian, but I am looking forward to getting more about Liam and hopefully Cole. Those two also played a major role in Mia and Julian’s journey and never once stopped being there for the two of them.

If you’re looking for a dark, bully romance this is a series to check out.

Stolen Hearts is addicting and captivating from the very start. The moment I started this one I couldn’t put it down. I was completed sucked into the story. It was full of secrets, twists and turns and plenty of suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat.

I felt for Poppy. She had lost so much and was forced into a marriage that she was completely unhappy in and a marriage that changed who she is as a person. Ronan is a man of mystery. He works for the Constantines and happens to always be keeping an eye out for Poppy. He comes across as cruel but there are little glimpses of something more to him. There are loads of chemistry between Poppy and Ronan from the very first moment they met and only continues to grow. He makes Poppy feel alive and that isn’t something she had felt in the past.

The story is told only from Poppy’s POV and there are certain parts I wish we got to see Ronan’s POV, however, I don’t think that it had any negative effect on the story itself. This does also end on a cliffhanger so be prepared!

Fiona has had a crush on her brother’s best friend, Boyd, for years but he has never noticed until one day he does. From that moment on there is tension and chemistry between the two of them. They are each other’s forbidden fruits. Boyd is the older best friend of her brother and Fiona is the younger, pure, little sister. The chemistry between them was a spark waiting to ignite and when it does it is explosive.

I loved that his book was dark and full of steam, but also dealt with real life topics that many people experience and many people may even suffer in silence, too. It is all talked about it in a way that makes it real, relatable and just raw emotions.

I love that Fiona and Boyd aren’t the perfect characters. They are both flawed, they both have struggles, yet together they can slowly work them out together. They are perfect for each other. The growth of both of these characters throughout the story was fantastic and I truly fell in love with both of them.
