by LILI ST. GERMAIN
Sometimes, we lose ourselves in the devastation of love.
But sometimes, we find ourselves there, too.
ROME
Avery Capulet. The forbidden fruit. The apple of her Daddy’s eye. The newly-minted Queen of California’s criminal underworld. And now, the missing girl nobody can find.
I know where she is, though. Kneeling before me with her mouth on the end of my cock, tears spilling from her eyes as the last bit of her dignity bleeds from her. I don’t want the pound of flesh that the girl who betrayed me delivers, but I don’t have a choice.
Avery Capulet. Moaning underneath me, as pain merges with pleasure, skin to skin as we do what we can to survive. In the dark, in the wild, we’re like animals. I try not to love her. I try so damn hard. But the war waged inside my heart was won a long time ago, by a girl who should have known better than to trust a man like me.
AVERY
Rome Montague. The boy from my past. The man in my nightmares. The dark, secret lover who makes me feel things I never knew I could feel.
Love and pain can both drive you insane. I fight, and I fight, until all I can do is surrender. Be pulled under. Submit, until I barely recognise myself.
Rome Montague. When he looks at me, I forget the lies that destroyed our past. When he makes me come apart underneath his touch, I forget where we are, and that a faceless enemy pulls our strings like marionettes.
The outside world beckons bright, teasing us with mirages of safety and respite.
But the light of day is a cruel lie.
Because once we find a way out of the dark, we both realize that our nightmare has only just begun.

He’ll use her body. Destroy her mind. All before he ever lays a hand on her.
Rome Montague is a drug dealer. A criminal. A thief.
And he needs the secrets Avery and her family are keeping – even if it means cutting them out of her pretty Capulet flesh.
Rome Montague is missing – but nobody will miss him.
Not that it matters; After the things he’s done to this girl, he doesn’t deserve to be found.

Prepare to step into the dark and bloody underworld of California, as Lili St. Germain brings you a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet, in the same vein as her bestselling Gypsy brothers series.
The CALIFORNIA BLOOD series, set in the criminal underbelly of San Francisco, follows two warring families who are ruled by blood, power and twisted desire.
I am beyond thrilled to know there will be three more books in this series. Verona Blood lays down the story and introduces our characters with great perfection and detail. Avery is seriously spunky and driven. I was instantly pulled in my her strong personality and the sheer determination she has for the things she wants. I wasn’t too sure about Rome to begin with but he’s a total catch!! I love his domineering and aggressive behavior but under that he has this soft spot for Avery. He’s not good at hiding it!
These two are in a horrible situation and that ending made me jump right out of my seat! Now, we waited for this book. For months. It doesn’t matter to me how long I wait. I’ll still read the words of Lili St. Germain. Ms. Germain creates a trues mindf@ck of a story. She doesn’t owe her readers a thing except her words when she’s finished writing them. Authors and readers have a give and take relationship... she writes her stories and if we want to read them, we buy the book. She doesn’t owe us reasons behind her book being later than she had wanted it to release. Life happens for all of us. Thank goodness I don’t have to explain everything away when I’m not perfect or when my family needs me. I can’t wait for the next installment but if I have to wait a while for it, it will suck, but it is what it is and I’m sure I’ll still read it as soon as I can and be finished before the day is done.
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
