This storm of a dark world pulls you into the controlling life that Vivienne is supposed to be living. Vivienne is a survivor and will define against London and the boys. Vivienne starts getting information on the ins and outs of what London and the boys life was like. Vivienne is the light of their darkness and shows them love that they have never received. Their is crumbs picked up and being put together through out this series and answered some questions that are left unanswered. This is another amazing read that has me hooked and can’t wait to read book 5.

Yessss!
Just what I needed after finishing Ours.

Just when you think you can't possibly love anyone as much as Ryth and the boys, in comes The Twins and London. Holy f***ing sh*t. This is what I was missing in book 2 and somewhat 3. (Though 3 was still very good).

Rose has quickly become one of my auto-buy authors. Especially for Dark Romance (and especially Mafia, which I don't usually read). Rose knows exactly how to bring the action and passion together into one spectacular story.

The characters are messed up, dark and oh so loveable. They are the perfect mix. There is always a special place in my heart for all of them in their own messy ways. I truly feel for them all and love the morally greyness of each of them. I enjoy how the author seems to always make them bad for the good of it and not just plainly bad. There is always compassion and true care when writing the characters, which not only adds so much to the story, but allows the reader to fully care for them.

In this book, I love how things are coming together and how the Sons also tie into the story. London was a nice surprise. As Vivienne expected him to be more cold and uncaring, as did I to a certain extent. As stated above, there is always the caring aspect within the characters, but I didn't expect the story behind The Sons. That hit me in such a heartfelt way and made me love London and the Twins so much more.

Another aspect I always enjoy in these books is the "found family". It's always nice to see Character you care about finding their place of peace and protection, and of course love.

When the characters are all so compelling, it becomes really hard to find fault with a book like this. I love Vivienne, London, Colt and Craven, all of them haunted by their own demons and pasts, finding each other and their sense of belonging together. There is no insta love here, the steps to come together are filled with angst and dark secrets. But when they do come together, it really is magic. This is a steamy and danger filled read, it keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire ride and I just loved it!
