Even salvation can be delivered through the love of the damned… Beauty can be a curse. Faith can be a cage. Only love can set you free. A few long weeks after being reluctantly ripped from the comforting embrace of her sacred prophet’s religious commune—the only life she has ever known—a terrified Delilah is thrust into a world enveloped by evil and swimming in sin. Steadfastly devout in her faith, and retaining the deep belief that her soul is innately tarnished as a branded ‘Cursed woman of Eve’, Delilah is determined to find her way home to her people in The Order and away from the corrupt and damned outlaw motorcycle club—The Hades Hangmen—who hold her at their secluded compound for her protection—a 'protection' she strongly resents. Delilah yearns to return home, convinced that only amongst her own people, and under the holy guidance of the Lord’s revealed prophet, can her Satan-spawned soul be truly saved. Conditioned her entire life to believe she is a witch... a life-long temptress… the devil’s whore... Delilah increasingly resents her beautiful face, her shapely body and her sensuous effect on men. But when a man of the motorcycle club—a deeply sinful yet stunningly beautiful man—is charged with her care, Delilah begins to see that this dangerous and moralless sinner from the 'outside' may offer her something she did not know could truly exist: unconditional love. Kyler ‘Ky’ Willis loves his life: a daily abundance of brotherhood, liquor, the freedom of the open-road and—best of all—his pick of hot women. Raised a biker brat and now VP of the most notorious MC in the States, Ky has no shortage of club sluts warming his bed; a situation he takes full advantage of… until a certain blonde enters his life… a gorgeous pilgrim-blonde he can’t get out of his head… a pilgrim-blonde he and his club recently-rescued from some backward religious cult… and a pilgrim-blonde he’s been ordered to keep the hell away from and his whorish hands off. When yet another in a lengthy line of drunken blunders forces Ky to reluctantly take charge of the pilgrim-blonde’s care, he realizes that there could be more to this woman than just supermodel looks and a stacked set of tits. He begins to see that she could be the woman who could do the impossible—tame his wild ways and capture his reluctant heart. But the unyielding bonds of Lilah’s past are strong, her ‘people’ determined and, with a new Prophet in charge and hell bent on revenge, they are mightily reluctant to let her go...

After falling in love with the Hades Hangmen Series with It Ain’t Me, Babe I was more than eager to start Heart Recaptured! Ky and Lilah’s relationship intrigued me so much! The biggest manwhore of the club and the brainwashed devout woman! They’re an unlikely pair, so opposite in everything, but surprisingly so good together. Tillie Cole brought the viciousness and perversion to a new level with outrageous events and an extremely gripping plot. These tragic moments only increased the emotional facets of this novel!
“I think that love is love, no matter the flaws, or faith of the person you choose to give your heart to. We are all fallen in some way, Lilah, none of us perfect, but to feel someone’s unconditional love, surely that is all that matters in the end.”
I don’t know how many time I cracked up in giggles over Ky’s unapologetic whorish ways! He truly has no shame and is so carefree. The things he says are seriously so crude, but hilarious at the same time. It certainly makes his special bond with Lilah implausible at first view! She’s really disgusted by his actions after the way she’s been brainwashed at The Order. I must say that at first I found her annoying with all her fanatic religious beliefs and indignation at the MC’s lifestyle! She gradually grew on me and I understood better her judgement!
When Ky’s designated to show Lilah the outside world, they slowly forge a bond that goes deep. Ky is so much more than only a player. He’s caring and so fiercely protective of the young woman. She surely elicits new feelings in him that he tries to understand. Lilah is also tempted by Ky, but still has so much to overcome to truly let herself open up completely to this vulgar man. Their relationship is something beautiful to watch evolve! Though all the the darkness and pain, love shines so bright between them!
The Hades Hangmen are still threatened by the leaders of The Order. They’re attacked and unspeakable things are depicted in this story that made me cry and ache for the sweet Lilah! The action is intensely vicious and addictive! I couldn’t stop listening to my audiobook. Once again, the narration of this story was perfectly executed. I felt all the feelings deep in my bones from the performance of both narrators.
“He had taken a piece of my tainted soul...of my heart...and made him a part of me. He was in my every cell, my conscience. He was simply part of me.”
Heart Recaptured is a great addition to the series and had me so obsessed with the fate of its characters. Ky and Lilah are such a mesmerizing pair that made my heart bleed and ultimately heal! To say I’m excited for Flame and Maddie’s story is an understatement. The guy had me so titillated since book one and I’m dying to know him more!!!
