Ronan.
His name thrums through me like a heartbeat.
I climbed out of the smoldering crater of my life only to find myself back in the middle of a slow-motion trainwreck. I’m hunted, torn between my past and present, ripped apart by two warring families. My husband is dead, and his killer is the only man who’s ever felt the deep well of emotion I keep hidden from the world.
Ronan.
Vicious and scarred—his rough touch is seared into my skin, but his soft caresses are what break down my walls bit by bit. Until there’s only me left. My soul in his bloody hands, and my broken heart beating just for him. Only him.
Ronan.
My shadowy protector, my phantom lover—kiss me or kill me, I don’t care. As long as you’re the one who does it.
This second installment reveals more about Ronan's past and explains his various behavioural actions. In various instances, I felt irritated by Poppy and her constant begging for attention from Ronan. It was clear he wasn't going to give in and her persistence in trying to seduce him made her seem weak at times. I understand that she didn't have the best track record with men and wanting to be close to Ronan but her behaviour was infuriating. She should have respected his decision and stopped. Poppy did have some regret after the last instance when she pushed Ronan but she should have given up long before that. Just as the book was coming to a close, a surprising twist occurred and the appearance of an unexpected character was not what I was expecting. The final events led me to be conflicted. I felt sorry for Poppy. She didn't deserve it. Just when she was going to be in control of her own life, it was snatched away again. Now I'm unsure how to feel. There is angst and conflict. In this story, I liked Ronan's resolve but also Poppy's strength when she talked about her past. However she deserves so much more. I hope in the final book she gets the ending she so richly deserves.
