Hi, book buddies ☺ How are you coping these days? It's hard on my side of the world 😟
Even though reading can't take my mind completely away from reality, it is still one of the best ways to try. Today I bring you a gritty romance by Ayden K. Morgen.

MY OPINION
A romance set against the backdrop of gang wars, abuse, and strong men who fight for good.
I’m following this gritty series with obsessive interest because every couple tells an unforgettable story of sacrifice and deep love. Octavio and Faith stole some pretty good scenes in the previous novel, and now it's their turn to fully squeeze our hearts. And so they do.
Gang violence, human trafficking, abuse, and revenge are some of the heavy themes that this book dives into. Faith is a tiny angel who has suffered immense abuse from her captors for years, and her frailty is in sharp contrast with her resilience, bravery and battered hope.
After a raw opening scene, she is sheltered by a knight in shining cop armor who is after a vicious gang boss.
The relationship between them is one continuos sigh-inducing and heated gift. He protects her, but more than that, he understands the vile things she's had to endure, so the level of comfort and gentleness he is capable of showing her is truly humbling and you can’t help falling in love with him. Honorable, yet tempted, he struggles with his desire for her. And there is so much chemistry!
I loved how they feel drawn to each other, his tentative approach to helping her in body and mind, his commitment to protecting her. I liked her sweet innocence and sad resoluteness, admired her survival instinct. They both fight for the right things.
The plot revolves also around the secret that surrounds her family circumstances and how they link with the cartel affairs and the violent criminals who want her back for retaliation. Those final chapters vibrate with tension, flying bullets, horrid men, and turbulent emotions. I loved seeing my favourite characters play a role in this new adventure. And I think this couple falls in love with epic passion. Love literally pours out of this story.
The resolution brings a couple of surprises, beautiful romance and a bittersweet closure. I had hopes for the next story to be about Octavio's sister, but instead it will be about Selena. I'm still in 😃
Favourite quotes :
Maybe it'll be enough to know that, once upon a time, I mattered to someone.
I want to be the one who gives her everything she needs to flourish.
