โ€œShe was tougher, but shattered people were attracted to other broken things, and I was being pulled to her in a way that left me gasping.โ€

Oh Saint and Tori have my heart!  This was my first book by Tabatha Vargo and I am blown away.  It had so much raw emotion and perfectly captured Saint and Toriโ€™s story.  My heart ached for what they went through as children.  

Tori and Saint had known each other when they were children, only to be pulled away from each other due to horrendous circumstances.  Saint was out on the streets and Tori, in and out of foster care.  Their paths crossed again years later.  Saint harbored such guilt when it came to Tori and how his choices affected her life.  Tori hated Saint for his role in how her life had turned out.  Once the whole truth comes out, the two of them start healing each other.  One terrible twist near the end had me wonderingโ€ฆwill their love be able to survive?

This book was beautifully written.  Alllll the stars.

Looking forward to Jokerโ€™s story.

Oh my... I need a minute after reading this mayhem filled ride that has left me feeling oh so emotional because of how much I connected to the characters and then what happened has left me needing a minute.

This is the second book in the Sons of Sinister series and let me tell you it was definitely one of my highly anticipated MC Romances because I was a fan of the first book in this series and I'm head over heels in love with Aiken and Everly's story.

Saint rides his bikes and lives his life dangerously. He and his friends own the Strip, where eveyone comes to party and when he sees a old enemy, the one girl he was friends with but turned foe, he's beyond agitated to see her.
But also Saint starts hating the fact that Tori awakens a yearning in him that he's never felt before.

I have to say this one was also written in typical Ms. Vargo fashion where our hero might seem like not redeemable and oh so bad but he also has a past that when we find out, will leave you feeling wrecked for him and will make him more than redeemable in what he does.

Then there's Victoria aka Tori, such a hard working girl and I had to give it to her for her being so tired as she works endlessly and yet doing everything in her power to provide for her little sister.

Tori hates Koah Saint like nothing else as he's the man responsible for ruining her life and taking everything from her including her family and the good life they would have had.
It's because of him, she's had wounds that will always be there no matter what.

I was really shocked and so hurt for both Tori and Saint as they didn't deserve what was meted out to them but shaped them into who they are today.

I was oh so touched for the little sweet things that Saint does for Tori, as knowing that he couldn't outright help her. 
I really melted for how he went about it and tried to be there for Tori in his own genius way.

We are taken into a rough and wild ride along with Saint and his friends, Crow and Joker who are also equally crazy especially Joker and they live their life on the edge of their seats.
But never did Saint expect a girl like Tori would come and wreak havoc on his carefully constructed life and dig out all his past secrets and hurts, leaving him unable to handle the intensity and barrage of feelings and emotions that she makes him feel.

That ending.... Ahh... I have to say it was bittersweet and I was oh so affected by everything that goes down.
But my heart is happy that the most deserving people, Saint and Tori get their chance at happiness together. โค๏ธ
