Not all girls like the hero. I was fated to fall in love with the villain.
I read the warnings like a responsible reader, so I am not surprised by the amount of insanity this book has. If anything, it only made me love it more! I’ve been searching for a truly unhinged character, and Killian Carson did not disappoint. Even his name would be enough to convince me to read this.
Kill and Glyn were made for each other. I definitely agree that Kill’s physical abuse sometimes goes over the line, but we all knew what we were getting ourselves into (that author’s note should be enough warning). Despite his violent tendencies, he’s actually very sweet at times. I couldn’t get over the fact that he learned to cook just to give her a healthy meal every time, that he quit smoking for her, and many other things.
Kill’s influence on Glyn was not all bad; it actually helped her overcome inner issues she’d been struggling with for years. The way she started as an insecure girl and transformed into this confident and bold woman by the end was heartwarming. But Kill also grew because of her. His illegal ways will never change, but he’s now capable of caring and loving, and it’s proven by the fact that he’s open to seeing things from Glyn’s perspective before making any decision.
I don’t think any other Rina Kent character could top this man for me. Five stars because he doesn’t deserve any less than that
