Resumen del Editor

The complete trilogy in one set! Follow the blinding obsession of Luca Caruso as his secrets threaten to break Olivia Heart from a darkness far worse than him.

Bending to Break

Olivia Heart has a tragic past and a closed heart. Focusing on her fledgling career to become a lawyer, she doesn't realize a moment of kindness, eight years ago, would be the undoing of all her hard work to remain hidden. Giving away her plane ticket in an act of defiance, Olivia seals her fate to a man who sees right through her.

In the passing eight years, Luca Caruso waits in the shadows, protecting her with his anonymity, money, and four highly trained guards—repaying his debt. The repayment stalls when one guard steps out of line, forcing Luca to steal her away, to submit to a life of his blinding obsession and desire.

Olivia wrestles with her head and her heart, desiring her freedom but also the secrets from the man that stole her away in the middle of the night. Amid his desperation for her acceptance, Olivia begins to uncover his dark secrets and attempts to flee. Feeling betrayed, Luca forces Olivia to make a difficult decision: to bend or break? The choice is hers.

Breaking to Pieces

"Answer me, Olivia. Your freedom or his."

Olivia Heart has a choice to make. To give herself up entirely, body and soul, to Luca or carry the guilt of blood on her hands.

"Want me to be the perfect slave and drop to my knees at the mere sight of you?"

Luca Caruso's sentence and obsession with Olivia is eight years and running. Free of his secrets, nothing and nobody will get in his way of making Olivia his.

Until a new enemy rises, one with the means and power to take the one person that can bring Luca to his knees: her.

Beautifully Broken

Luca Caruso, king of control and secrets, has fallen from his throne when the love of his life, Olivia Heart, is stolen away right under his watch.

His life begins to unravel, his secrets begin to bleed out, and his karma is swift and lethal. On the precipice of his suffering, he is forced to face his biggest fear: not being able to protect Olivia from darkness far worse than him.

Olivia hadn’t spread her wings and flown with the butterflies as she hoped. She was captured under the net of a true monster instead. One that wanted to pluck every wing and place her under glass.

There will be no bending.

She will break.

And not every piece will go back together the same.

Trigger warning: also has some scenes that may be uncomfortable and possibly triggering.

ok

The narrator has a sweet voice, but to narrate a book with prominent male characters made me struggle through the entire trilogy. On the other side there were lots of steamy sex. If this is ever redone with duel narrators, I may give it another try for a completely different review.

Big fat eye roll

I wish someone could have warned me before I wasted my money. This book makes me ashamed to be female.
