Heart of a Monster by Shain Rose
3.0
Trigger Warnings include:
child sex trafficking, murder, torture
This book ends on a cliffhanger!
Katie and Rome crossed paths as teenagers, and it cemented them in each others’ lives. When she (finally) becomes a permanent part of Rome’s life, he has to fight every urge to know every piece of Kate inside and out. Rome is the head of the family’s right hand man, the enforcer, happily the lone wolf. Which he knows is a recipe for disaster when it comes to Katie being in his path; Katie knows it too. There is definitely nonstop drama between them, within the family. The back and forth, the fighting over emotions became a little much for me. Especially when sex got tossed into the mess. I was literally rooting for Bastain to take the reigns…and it did definitely try! Kate drove me bonkers. I understood where Rome was coming from. He knew he would just continue to taint her and had the power to destroy her, which he wanted to avoid. But she was entirely too prideful, ignorant at times. Rome and Bastain gave her multiple opportunities to make her choice, let her have all her dreams. But that pride of hers just took control. Maybe one day, I’ll find the urge to read Rome and Katie’s HEA. But for now, I’m okay with sitting in the unknown.
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I will break you. And I won’t put you back together.”
• “My blood is your blood. I bleed, you bleed.”
• “No man but me should ever be touching you.”
• “This part of you belongs to me.”
• “You’re beautiful. So beautiful you could stop the world.”
• “I’m yours and you’re mine.”
• “You may own every part of me now, but I own these moments. Always.”
• “I love watching you explode in beautiful chaos around me.”
• “It’s your home, baby. I’m always your home.”
• “She is my family. And I’m hers.”
• “One day-not today, but one day soon-I might have to tell you I love you and watch the chaos that ensues.”
