“She is mine.”
Three words from two different men.
Three words from two different men.
A life, future, and love I don’t get to choose.
In the de la Rosa family, old grudges run deeper than loyalty, and betrayal is a three-letter word: war. But this feud isn’t between enemies. It’s between brothers. And I’m the prize.
I was born a princess among criminals. An untouchable among thieves. Heiress to a life others have killed for, and one I'd do anything to escape. I vowed not to leave without Diego, my first love and best friend, but if his ruthless brother has his way, I won’t leave at all. Cristiano de la Rosa is a
man as big and bold as his legend. Once upon a time, he was our cartel’s best soldier . . . until he became my family’s worst enemy.

I’ve always enjoyed Jessica Hawkins books and Violent
Delights is no different. This book has a bit of the same vibe/feel as Slip of
the Tongue did a few years ago. While the storylines are not similar at all…
perhaps it’s the writing that’s bringing me back to one of the first books I
read by Jessica Hawkins. I really feel as though writing a review for this book
is dangerous. It seems impossible to talk about the book without wanting to
gush about the storyline but I’m going to do my best to talk about what this
book did to my heart and my feelings.
Violent Delights is a nail bitter! I felt totally immersed in the world Jessica Hawkins created. And what a world this was! It was dangerous and pretty twisted. I really was delightfully shocked by the storyline. It really is quite a daring story line and I’m delighted that Miss Hawkins decided to tackle this series. I love the mafia ties and the possessive feelings the characters expressed. This is going to be one hard book to tie all together. It’s one that feels like an ol’ time story but with edge and heart.
Miss Hawkins is a creative genius! I felt truly transported into her story. It’s really a magically way to write. The characters are incredibly layered. You’ll either love them or hate AND love them so much. The brothers, Diego and Cristiano are built up and you’ll have no idea which way this story is going to turn out! I know that I am fully invested in this story and will be counting the days until I get the follow up story!
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.
