Heart Recaptured by Tillie Cole

4.0

Ky and Lilah were beautifully broken and perfect for each other

“My soul… belongs to you. You saved me, baby. You wanted me for the me inside. Even looking like this, you make me believe I am enough.”

Lilah is beauty personified. She is ethereal, and anyone that has ever had the chance to experience her beauty has been drawn to her. This has been her undoing. Her sin, as they said. She never saw that her beauty was something to be proud of, but something that became the one thing she tried to escape from.

Ky. The VP of the Hades Hangmen. Styx’s right hand; a playboy and one that loves having a revolving door of fun. He’s a walking dreamboat; he knows it and uses it to his advantage. He didn’t realize that by meeting Lilah it would bring him to his knees.

“Heart Recaptured,” is book two in the Hades Hangmen Series by Tillie Cole. It is a dark MC romance, and picks up with the overall plot that started in book one and continues on with Lilah and Ky’s story. This one was a tougher pill to swallow in regards to how they got to their happy ending. It dealt with the underlying conditions that Lilah was facing being out on her own, within the walls of the MC- her overall fear and uncertainty that she was trying to navigate through, along with the foreign feelings she had been developing for Ky. He became her safe place as the story went on, but the overall trauma and brainwashing that she endured made it really hard to get to their happy ending. It showcased that beauty was only skin deep, and what truly matters is the heart of the person you’re sharing your soul with.

Trigger Warning Advised.
