Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book for review from Wildfire Marketing Solutions and the author. I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".
Thalia Santiago is the daughter of my enemy.
A beautiful rebel with a single cause.
Impulsive.
Fearless.
And ripe for her father’s undoing.
I recognized her the moment she stepped into my casino.
I watched her start the fires that burned her pretty fingers, and then I poured gasoline on the flames.
Now she’s in my debt, and her dues are a shiny gold ring and a vow of deception.
I’ll bend her.
I’ll break her.
I’ll turn our mockery of a marriage into a battlefield.
And that river of bad blood that flows between our two families?
I’ll make it an ocean of hate.
My Thoughts:
Thalia learned a lot about her family at an early age. She will do anything for those she loves. Santi is a man who rules his world with an iron fist. He doesn’t seem to care if he pisses someone off.
These authors have created two strong willed characters. Neither of them seems to want to give an inch and that gives the reader plenty of interesting moments. There’s a lot of emotions that play out on the pages. Lately I’ve found myself going to audiobooks that are done in duet. Now I’m finding that I love choosing books that are on the same idea. Our authors grabbed my attention with all the action and tension that’s going on.
It’s not really a book about good versus evil but two people that live inside the same kind of world. Each handles it differently but the fun begins when their worlds collide. Once it does, there’s no going anywhere so be prepared to sit back and enjoy the bumpy ride. If you ask me which author wrote what, I would have to tell you that I don’t know and don’t care. What they wrote is seamless and are great as a team. It also shows how good they are at their job since I have no way of telling the difference in their writing styles. Also, I would rather enjoy reading what they wrote instead of dissecting every little piece to figure that out – that would be a killjoy.
They are also very good at creating steam and showing how opposites can attract. I loved seeing the fight and fire that Thalia has. I also love to watch walls crumble. They live in a world where trust doesn’t come easy so what a great reason to keep turning the page. But once I got the end and looked at the books these authors have written on their own, I have a lot of catching up to do. And I get to look forward to the second half of this duet.
Meet Cora Kenborn:
Cora Kenborn is a USA Today Bestselling author who writes in multiple genres from dark and gritty romantic suspense to laugh-out-loud romantic comedy.
Known for her sharp banter and shocking blindsides, Cora pushes her characters and readers out of their comfort zones and onto an emotional roller coaster before delivering a twisted happily ever after.
Cora believes there's nothing better than a feisty heroine who keeps her alpha on his toes, and she draws inspiration from the sassy country women who raised her. However, since the domestic Southern Belle gene seems to have skipped a generation, she spends any free time convincing her family that microwaving Hot Pockets counts as cooking dinner.
Oh, and autocorrect thinks she's obsessed with ducks.

Meet Catherine Wiltcher:
I’m an International Bestselling Author of ten dark romance novels, a stage 4 cancer thriver, and a self-confessed alpha addict! My writing is best described as sinfully sexy, and my characters always fall hard and deep for one another.
I live in the UK with my husband and two young daughters… But if I ever found myself stranded on a desert island, I’d like a large pink gin to keep me company. Cillian Murphy wouldn’t be a bad shout either…
Movies & stuff…
Before I started writing, I worked for seventeen years in the TV and movie industry. I started my career on the hit UK ITV show ‘Blind Date’ before moving into Music TV (MTV, T4) and then movie and drama production, with a brief (three year) flirtation at the BBC’s Natural History Unit thrown in there as well.
I’ve been really lucky to travel all over the world with my former job, working with the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, MTV, Walden Media, Warner Bros & 20th Century Fox, amongst many others. All my experiences have helped shape my stories – from the amazing places I’ve visited to hanging out with some really fun A-listers.
