⭐️ 5 "Touched by an Angel" Stars ⭐️
I just finished Blood and Roses and I'm a mess! I was expecting heartbreak from this book, but Lyov and Maria's story touched me in such a powerful way! That ending was foreseen, but so devastating, brutal and bittersweet! I was really intrigued about the patriarch of the Ivanshov clan and was pleasantly surprised by his story and it made me understand his actions from the previous novels more. Lyov’s love for Maria was instant and ensnaring! Such a formidable, alpha male brought to his knew by a slave. I wasn’t anticipating their beginning, but it surely brought a certain darkness and allure to their story. Blood and Roses was incredibly romantic, sensual and poignant! I cried my eyes out over this doomed couple, but also felt blissful happiness over their tragic romance! Lylah James once again used her poetic and stunning prose to enthrall me! An unforgettable love story, without the typical happily ever after, but still so breathtaking!
