He saw me as one.

I became addicted to the other.

He saw us as forever.

I saw our love story as bittersweet.

Why?

Simple.

It was all caused by one thing – total, abominable darkness.

But that was what we loved the most.

After all, darkness made these heroine hearts.

REVIEW

AMIE'S 5 STAR REVIEW

WOW - this was one of those stories that I didn't expect - a bit of a unique twist to it and a very dark and twisted feel. Many triggers for those who have suffered or dealt with abuse/addiction so not exactly an easy read but also not one that I could put down. The ending - OH NO WAY - I did NOT expect that at all - are you freakin kidding me - but hey I am just a reader - Kirsty is the boss lady at this...

Isla was forced away from her loved ones years ago during spring break as many of the other girls here were. They are used and abused on top of being forced to run drugs across the border. The drug cartel has been around for years and is powerful and strong under Joaquin's rule. Though lately his son Santiago has been trying to do things his own way , to change things up and to say he is more ruthless than any is an understatement. When we meet Isla she may be broken and lost BUT she is still strong and determined to care for these girls and she allows herself to suffer so they won't have to. It doesn't always work for her BUT she tries. Javier is the new guy on the block. Fought til the death to get into the cartel and quickly proved himself and moved up the ranks. Nobody knows his secret but us and although he plays a great bad guy he is all heart. When we do find out his story and he shares that with Isla their connection becomes so much more. Sadly this may be the downfall for them both. Can Javier recover his emotions and fix what he set in motion or will this be the final straw for Isla and her broken body ?? This is a crazy ride and over this short span of time we see so much horror it is a wonder anyone survived. This is one of those stories that no matter how hard you wish for it there isn't an alternate ending...

Kirsty is an English writer who spends most of her time daydreaming characters and lives she’ll one day get to fictionally live. She writes suspense romances and romantic thrillers with dark twists. She prides herself on living with each of her characters while she writes them while trying not to get too attached! When she finally takes a break, she can be found spending time with her amazing family and friends, having a laugh, and usually searching a good horror film to scare herself with! Latest releases include the Pericolo Series: Femme Fatale (Pericolo #1), Femme Fatale Reloaded (Pericolo #2). The series is set to explode with Trigger – a standalone in the series – Femme Fatale Loved (Pericolo #3), Femme Fatale Finale (Pericolo #4), and Mobbed – a standalone prequel. Other releases include The Viper Series: Saturdays At The Viper Rooms (Viper #1), The Runaway Viper (Viper #2), The Viper’s Bite (Viper #3). The Fire Series: A Fire That Burns and its sequel, Watch What Burns. Also out is Kirsty’s co-write book with author Bethan Cooper, Your Little Secret.

About Maegan

Hey there! I'm Maegan and I am also a book whore... Seriously, I'm pretty sure I should be in some sort of rehab for this. Book Whore's Anonymous or something! I have a huge list of book boyfriends and it seems I find a new one every time I read. (Which, unfortunately, isn't very often anymore.) Amie and I have a great time running this blog, hosting tours, generally getting to know the readers, authors, and promoters in the industry. A little about me, hmm... let's see. Well, I was a huge reader. From childhood, I loved the escape of reading. Being the middle of three kids, I was always the quiet one. While my older brother and younger sister fought for attention, I curled up in my room with a book. After high school, I fell out of reading as much. Life just became different, as it does for all of us. Then I went to college in my mid-twenties and who had time to read anything but school texts between classes and two jobs. I was also an assistant Girl Scout leader for my young cousins troop. The leader had been telling me for months that I needed to read Twilight. There was so much hype surrounding those books (The first movie had just come out on DVD at the time) and I refused over and over. Finally, we were at camp one weekend and it was the first time that the girls were officially in charge of everything. From rotating teams in the kitchen to clean up, the girls did it all and we were bored out of our minds. Finally, a van full of us went into the nearest town and raided a Wal Mart for books and cards to play games. The leader talked me into buying Twilight. I started it that afternoon and couldn't put it down. I stayed up til lights out and could barely sleep because I wanted to keep reading. The best part was, the girls were so excited. They were all running up to me all day asking me what part I was at. Their excitement fueled my own. That is what got me excited about reading again. The story was good, I enjoyed it, but the passion for reading was really brought back through the eyes of sixteen twelve-year-olds who loved sharing something they enjoyed with me. Maybe that's why I love sharing what I enjoy now!

About Amie

Hi there , My name is Amie and I am a book whore through and through !! My list of book boyfriends is miles long and I really hate to share any of them but I will !! I am a stay home mom , 2 beautiful daughters and a loving tattooed hubby who drives me crazy !! I am loving this blog thing and of course I am so happy to be meeting all these fabulous authors and bloggers. I was never a big fan of reading , most of what I read was in school , then in my early 20's I started reading books about the bands I listened to and eventually a few friends broke me down and made me read Twilight !! I fell in love and after months of reading and re-reading the series I opened up to other options and now read daily and would probably go crazy if I did not have a list of books to read each week !! Thanks for checking out our blog !!

Meet our REVIEW TEAM !!

WENDY -

Hi I’m Wendy and I’m from NJ. Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I will read anything as long as the blurb grabs my attention and the story is good. I have always been a reader since I got my first library card. I did stop when I was older because of school but was finally able to get back into it a couple of years ago. Now I just can’t stop and I am completely happy to be a book whore smile emoticon I love being a part of this blog-everyone is so nice and I have made really great friends.

AMY -

My name is Amy W., and I am a book addict. I will never forget the day I came home from junior high school to find my mom waiting for me with one of the Harlequin novels from my stash. As she was gearing up for the “you shouldn’t be reading this” lecture, I told her the characters get married in the end. I’m just glad she didn’t find the Bertrice Small book hidden in my closet. I have diverse reading tastes, evident by the wide array of genres on my Kindle. As I made the transition to an e-reader, I found myself worrying that something could happen to it. As a result, I am now the proud owner of four Kindles — all different kinds, but plenty of back-ups!

Fifty Shades of Grey gets high marks on my favorites list — not for character development or dialogue (definitely not!), but because it blazed new ground for those of us who believe provocative fiction is more than just an explicit cover. Sylvia Day, Lexi Blake and Alexx Andria are some of my favorite authors. Speaking of diverse tastes, I also enjoy Christine Feehan, Iris Johansen and J.A. Konrath. Give me something with a well-defined storyline, add some suspense (or spice), and I am a happy reader. Give me a happily ever after, and I am downright giddy.

SHERI -

My name is Sheri from New Orleans and I will reading anything that has a HEA (I don't do well with sad endings), a macho Alpha Male or something with a strong female lead. I go absolutely crazy for any type of book that involves a MC (being a biker's wife its a lifestyle I kinda understand) or anything that deals with emotionally broken characters. I got into the reading game kinda late in life. I couldn't stand to read when I was younger but now I rather read a book than watch tv. I love being a part of this fine group of ladies and only wish we were all in the same city.

JILL -

I started reading at a ridiculously early age and have never really stopped. Growing up, I of course complained about the required reading but secretly loved the happily ever afters as opposed to the tragedies. While everyone else was blowing off the Lit classes in high school I looked forward to them. Then the real world stepped in and reading was not so fun anymore between work/school/family obligations it fell by the wayside. My wonderful "techie" hubby bought me the first generation Sony e-reader for Christmas one year and the rest is pretty much history. I have gone through three Sony e-readers and two kindles since then and read books from every genre under the sun. I am the only girl in a house full of boys that know undoubtedly that all women (including me) should be treated like a princess. It still makes me laugh that my love affair with books started with Frog and Toad not 50 shades.

Cassandra -

My name is Cassandra, and I am a book whore from the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the years, I have enjoyed most genres of fiction, but now I mainly stick to the many subgenres of romance. I’m a sucker for a hot book boyfriend and a happily ever after. I like writing reviews to help readers decide if a book is a good fit for them, and I love supporting the many wonderful authors out there. One of the things I love most about reviewing for We Stole Your Book Boyfriend, is finding brand new authors. There is something undeniably exciting about writing a review on someone’s debut novel, and feeling like I am somehow a small part of their entry into the literary world.
