5 Stars!
Wow - what the hell did I just read?! It’s been so long since I read some GOOD dark romance that just swallowed me up and wouldn’t let me go until the last word. How the heck is this the first time I’m reading either one of these authors? I’m punching my own face over here.
The setting
The storyline
The steam
That ending?!?!?!
Absolutely excellent.
We have the De La Rosa family who is at the top of The Society, an order, a mafia all in one that is an elite ruling society. Ivy is part of the Moreno family; a much lower ranking family but still a part of the I.V.I society. Marriage is power in this society and a powerful alliance is everything. When the book begins, Ivy is told she'll be marrying Santiago De La Rosa, the surviving son and leader of his family.
To say that Santiago is a scarred anti hero is an understatement!
The writing here was so completely flawless and added to the overall intrigue of the story. Reading the entire backlist of BOTH these authors just became a top priority on my to-do list.
Dark romance used to be my absolute #1 jam and this book read like some vintage, classic dark romance with mystique, flawed characters, a compelling storyline, and some very delicious yet taboo sexy times. I COULD. NOT. GET. ENOUGH!! I really don't know what I am supposed to do with my life until Reparation of Sin comes out in April!
Yes, this book ends in a MAJOR cliff hanger, but you know what? It was so damn good that I regret nothing!!
Thank you to Candi Kane PR who provided me with an advanced digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

"...On the rare occasion someone glimpses me in the light, I am reminded who I am. The monster lurking in the shadows. The scarred remains of the only De La Rosa male to crawl from the ashes of our destruction."
