Book Review: Black Heart

 


They say love conquers all. They've never met the Scythe.

Kaden Black was hired to kill me.

He's a scarred ex-soldier with a list of bodies behind him and a decade-old vow of revenge. I'm the key to drawing out the man who destroyed his life – and now I'm under Kaden's ruthless protection.

Every camera he installs strips away another layer of my privacy. Every order he barks reminds me I'm trapped. But when rival assassins break in, it's Kaden's brutal efficiency that keeps me breathing.

I tell myself I hate him. That his dangerous allure doesn't drown out my survival instinct. That I don't crave the possessive glint in his eyes when he looks at me.

I'm lying.

As he spirals deeper into obsession, I realize I have a choice to make. Help Kaden hunt down the monsters from his past, or break free and save myself.

But freedom comes at a price. And it might just cost me the one man I can't bear to lose.


Black Heart is a deliciously dark, obsessive romance with an over-the-top hero with questionable morals and a young woman at his mercy. mature themes and violence ahead.


My Review

I really enjoyed this book. It may be low on spice, but it is high on emotions. As if I was not already invested in Kaden and Layla, Ketley goes and drops the cliffhanger ending!

Kaden may be a bit over the top protective for Layla, but it is one hundred percent justified. After what happened to Kaden in the past. It shaped him into who he is now. Despite Kaden being tough on Layla, it came from a place of caring. Layla is not a meek woman. She can take care of herself, but it is easier when Kaden is watching her back. 

When one of the assassins that Kaden captures tells Kaden to "Go to he!!". He replies "I've been there, I received the economy experience. You should be thankful. Yours is a first-class ticket." I laughed at this interaction. This is so Kaden.

Ketley Allison has always been a romantic at heart and loves writing over-the-top, plot-twisty romance and characters. Ketley was born in Canada, moved to Australia, then to California, and finally to New York City to attend law school, but most of that time was spent in coffee shops thinking about her next book.

Her other passions include her two daughters, wine, coffee, Big Macs, her cat, and her husband, possibly in that order.
