As a hitman for hire, Percivale is no stranger to violence. From the moment he saw Blossom Jaymes through the window of her bakery, he knew he was in too deep. Not only was she as sweet as her perfectly crafted treats, but she was a soft-spoken, golden-haired angel that shone like a bright beacon in his dark world. And Percivale didn’t deal in angels. He dealt in death and crime. The even bigger issue? Percivale’s next hit is on said sweet little baker who doesn’t seem to realize how much danger lurks around her with each passing day. If he doesn’t get the job done, who will? When Percivale has to decide what’s more important to him—the life of a woman who may very well be innocent or getting his revenge on the men who murdered his family—the lines become blurred. Morals are twisted and a deathly chase ensues that can only result in one thing—Blossom buried six feet under. Or can it? Can Percivale let his lust for revenge go in order to save Blossom from the bounty on her head, or will the power she unknowingly holds over him be what gets her killed?

What a thrilling ride! A Cruel Love is a dark romance jam-packed with violence, sizzling hot interludes and feelings! I was hooked by this electrifying story and just couldn’t put it down! S.M. Soto shaped a fascinating pair with commanding, cold-blooded assassin Percivale and sweet little baker Blossom. The magnetism between these two is just off the charts and made me combust.
"He makes me want to be bad like him. He makes me want to do bad things."
Percivale has orders from the boss of the Tabella Della Morte to kill Blossom. He’s been spying on her, but there’s just something about the young woman that calls to him and keeps him from executing his mission. He’s undoubtedly an imposing alpha hero. I couldn’t help but fall under his obscure charm. He’s unremorseful, brutal and sinisterly cocky! I enjoyed every facet of Percivale intricate personality. It’s easy to see the monster at first, but over the story he shows a real protectiveness toward Blossom. Yes, he might act viciously, but under all his bad actions hide glimmers of softness. This inexplicable fascination with Blossom only creates an impossible dilemma for him.
Blossom is also an interesting heroine. When she’s introduced, she’s so meek and trying anything to escape from Percivale’s grip. There’s no denying her magnetic pull toward the man though. Being in his presence makes her develop a sudden assurance. She transforms into a defiant and brave woman that had me shocked. She’s not afraid to confront the cruel killer and it only creates friction that makes their interactions explosive! The sexual intensity in this book is scorching hot! These two are fire when they let go of their inhibitions and let the passion talks. Percivale’s possessiveness and dirty talking surely had me blushing and near fainting! Blossom is a lucky girl!
Beyond all the lust and characters’ development, the entire intrigue of this story is so stimulating! There’s plenty of action that you don’t know when the next bombshell will drop. It triggers some unexpectedly gory moments that had me shocked.
"She was a bright beacon, and I was the darkness, consuming all of her, draining her of everything pure she had to offer."
S.M. Soto excels at writing engaging complex characters that ultimately win your heart and creating seducing worlds! A Cruel Love is such a brilliant dark read and a great addition to the Cavalieri Della Morte series! If you’re in search of high sensations and wickedly sexy moments, this novel will provide you a great entertainment!
