Breaking Her
Book Two in the Love is War Duet.
This is the conclusion of Scarlett and Dante's story.
SCARLETT
He had done it again. Ravaged me. Burned me. Broke me.
Given me air, only to leave me gasping, writhing.
But then something changed. Something that terrified and excited me both.
Something that utterly destroyed me.
Something that made me whole again.
DANTE
Our love was cursed from the start. She didn't know it but I did.
All she knew was that I'd lied to her, betrayed her. Done unforgivable things. Unavoidable things. Yes, I had broken promises as surely as I had broken her heart. But, just as every war has casualties, and every lie has consequences–every bastard has his reasons.
Natasha's Experience:
This duology, these characters, bring forth a destructive kind of love; this kind of love does not apologize for its ruthlessness. I am HERE for this. The passion is back and it's almost suffocating -- the raw emotion that Dante and Scarlett experience will leave you gasping for air.
"Once you've been broken, every break
after, even when they hurt like hell, can never outdo the profound damage of
the first time."
Dante and Scarlett are back and more vengeful now than ever. Dante
has been keeping secrets, the kind that can rip Scarlett's heart right out of
her chest. She's over being pulled apart and is focused entirely on her career
as an actress because that's all she can afford to do. The toxic push and pull
that Dante brings into her life is slowly breaking her down -- it's incredible
what a love like theirs can do when tested.
"But love changes you. No matter how
strong you are, it makes you stronger. No matter how weak you are, it makes you
weaker. No matter how hard you are to conquer, it will bring you to your
knees."
All of my questions are finally answered -- if you recall reading
my review for BREAKING HIM, I go on a bit of rant because it seriously left me
reeling. I wanted to know what secrets these two were keeping, and I wanted to
be in the loop of things. R.K. Lilley delivers and does not disappoint. Some secrets will be intense and some will be hard
to swallow, but the past that these two are trying so hard to conceal from each
other will set them free so long as they are open to accepting it and moving
on.
"That was the burden of falling in love so young. Of letting
yourself go so deep into another person. You owned too much of each other to
ever really walk away."
If you're looking for a read that is filled to the brim with intensity,
seduction and redemption, start Scarlett & Dante's tumultuous love
story.
