The Santiago Trilogy 
by Catherine Wiltcher




Blurbs:

***Hearts of Darkness***

He’s a criminal with no conscience. The whisper of a name, a faceless stranger… A man content to dwell in the shadows of his underworld.

I’m the light to his dark, an investigative reporter intent on exposing dangerous men like him. We were worlds apart until I caught his attention. Now I’m his captive, kept at the whim of a devil with no kindness or morality.

I may be an innocent but I have secrets too. For years I’ve been fighting a private war with the illegal drugs trade, with the cartel responsible for murdering my brother. I’m closer to revenge than I’ve ever been until his duplicity tears my life apart.

Ours is a relationship borne of hate, but we can't deny the fire that rages between us.

Now I have two choices. Save his soul or lose myself to his darkness forever.


***Hearts Divine***

Eve

The FBI is forcing me apart from the man who haunts my dreams.

The man who stole me, broke me and made me his forever.

Dante Santiago.

My deepest, darkest secret.

I may be ignorant to the worst of his savagery, to the tortured history that has driven the heartless criminal to such extremes, but I know exactly how his body feels as it sinks slowly into mine – stretching, conquering, completing. I know every hard angle, every dark trail of hair; every smooth, olive-hued plane as he molds himself to me like second skin.

The man I will never ever betray.

Dante

Six months apart.

An eternity.

I swore an oath to stay away and keep her safe.

Together we wiped my past from the face of this earth but another rose up in his place. An enemy more deadly, more determined. One who will stop at nothing to destroy me.

Damn this half-life that I’m forced to endure without her.

I run the risk of exposing her if I return.

I will lose myself to this darkness if I refuse.

***Hearts on Fire***

My Devil

He came into my life like a raging storm.

The man I despised.

The killer with no conscience.

I fell as hard as a woman like me can fall.

When he bleeds, I feel his pain. When we kiss, I taste his tragedy. When he kills, my heart is stained with all the colors of his vengeance.

My Angel

In the heat of the night we loved hard and became one.

I was the captor who became the captivated.

Her light was a blazing trail, illuminating the bullet holes that studded my darkness.

I betrayed but she forgave.

Now we’re standing on the threshold of hell and everyone around us is burning.

Trust no one.

Seek the truth.

Deliver justice.

We have no choice but to finish this war… Together.

My Thoughts:

Eve Miller and Dante Santiago’s story continues from the previous book titled Hearts Divine.  This time the author gives us several stories to keep us entertained.  In this part of the trilogy, you would think the author would start to wind things down but not this one.  Things actually ramp up and will have you transfixed from beginning to end.  Hearts Divine came out in January so you may want to revisit the characters in order to see where this picked up.  It is a series that must be read in order otherwise you won’t truly understand these characters.  Plus, why would you want to start a trilogy at the end.

Dante Santiago is a man who keeps promises – especially when it comes to Eve Miller.  He lets you know in no uncertain terms exactly what he wants from her.  There’s no way that Eve can miss how much Dante has come to care for her.  Make no mistake, she can’t tame the beast.  Joseph is the man who will help Dante keep his promise.  If I had to choose a disappointment, it would be that I didn’t get Eve’s friend’s point of view.

What’s nice about this final book in the trilogy is that Dante allows us to see how much he loves Eve.  It also shows his humanity.  You can tell that he’s the man that runs the show because he runs the story as well.  Eve seems to be the calming factor even though she has her own issues.  I have trouble solving mysteries – that’s why I’m glad the author has it figured out.  Besides wanting to know how Dante and Eve’s story is going to end, figuring out who the bad guy(s) may be is another reason for me to keep turning the page.  Another disappointment I had was knowing that this is the end and Dante shows that it was bittersweet.   On the upside, the author has a couple of other books I can check out.

Praise for Hearts Divine

“I'm totally blown away!” –  Beyond The Covers Blog

“Sexy, intense and so edgy… An explosive second book in this series” – Bookgasms Book Blog

I didn't think things could get any better than the first book, but Wiltcher upped her game in the second instalment of this breath-taking trilogy” – Sammy - Just Let Me Read

“This book… blown away AGAIN! 5/5 deserves a 10” – Sweet & Spicy Reads

My Thoughts:

Eve Miller’s story continues from the previous book titled Hearts of Darkness. This time she’s dealing with a different type of frustration. In this part of the trilogy, our author shows us Dante’s harsh reality. She also gives us a glimpse into his past.

This second book in The Santiago Trilogy, “forced” me into getting comfortable to see where our couple was going to take their relationship. You notice that forced is in quotes but in truth there was no force needed. I certainly didn’t mind getting comfortable and lost into the world these two are a part of.

Just like a normal couple, they have their ups and downs but you’ll see they’re not like any normal couple you’ve ever come in contact with. There’s plenty of steam that continues from the first book and Dante does push what Eve is comfortable with. He’s definitely an alpha bad boy but will Eve’s love be able to tame him. Do we want the alpha bad boy to be tamed? The author also has lots of questions and part of our job is to see if they get answered. Although my problem was that I lost track of them because I just wanted to see what Ms. Wiltcher had in store for us. And Eve might help with that since that is part of her job after all. I loved the building anticipation but I’m left frustrated and wondering how this trilogy is going to end.

My Thoughts:


Eve Miller has her life changed in an instant. Family is very important to her. Dante Santiago isn’t going to stop until he gets what he wants. He doesn’t seem to believe in honor or boundaries. He has a strong personality. So if you love the alpha bad boys than he’s the man for you.

What I liked about this author is that she doesn’t try to romanticize Dante’s world. But can someone so deeply entrenched into a lifestyle change? Violence is a part of a world that Eve didn’t realize she’s stepped into. Our author shows that violence but doesn’t get too graphic and I’m sure your imagination will have no trouble filling in the blanks. Having the book told from the point of view of our main characters was a smart choice. This way the reader knows what they’re thinking.

If you start reading anywhere but here then things will get revealed which you don’t want because it will spoil things for you as you try to catch up. Reading in order is a must; otherwise the timeline will be altered. This story may seem a little long and part of that is due in part to the world that our author had to build from scratch. It all leads to a cliffhanger. So if you’re patient here than you’ll reap some good rewards with the next two titles. The author knows how to build the suspense and don’t you want to know how things are going to end? I know I do.
