He still owns me.

His wicked touch ruins me, corrupts me into wanting things I shouldn’t. Now I’m no longer an unwilling prisoner, but rather an eager participant.

The need for ecstasy, and the burn to be consumed by my captor makes it impossible for me to hate him. I know I should, but I can’t. Not when my body obeys him so willingly.

But the tables have turned, and a strong family now stands divided. Castello’s determination to keep me for himself started a war.

The war of brothers.

The war of blood.

In the end, only one will survive.

We loved the conclusion to this well crafted tale.

The story got hotter and more intriguing and one that tore a family apart and pitted brother against brother.The story was also about revenge and love and forgiveness and righting the wrongs of ones past but, most of all it was about protecting all that you love and held dear and showing all just how dangerous and powerful Castello was to his enemies.

Castello was one of those character's that made you uneasy and scared of him constantly and if I am being honest scared the crap out of me and made me shaky but, you had to admire the strength and the power the man commanded.

We saw Tatum grow and blossom into a women who was accepting the demons that she resided her within and one who accepted that Castello was the only man who could give her what she needed to be at peace.Tatum was a lover and pet and sexual slave to Castello and he was master and her owner and lover and protector and the man who loves her and would protect her at all cost and even wage war with the ones who he calls family.

This was one intense dark read and one that was not the normal falling in love kind of story but it is one that was forged out of the depravity and the depths of hell.The story felt real and that you we living in hell with these characters."It felt that real!"

Castello was one of those character's that you could not help be drawn to.One of the things we love most about the man is he accepted who he was and what resided with him and never made excuses for who he is but, loved that fact that he wanted to be a better person and the man he thought Tatum deserved but, In reality Tatum needed him to be actually who he was  all along because that man made her feel safe and protective.

This story took us on one he** of a roller coaster ride and we loved every bit of it.The story kept us engrossed and on edge and turning the pages to the very end yet again.The story was even more intriguing and even had more betrayals and more surprises and a whole lot of secrets that came to life that you never saw coming.

"We love when that happens"

"We loved it!"

This story is not for the faint of heart and for some of you may be thinking how loved blossomed throughout this tragic story but, it was just one of those things that made sense and worked for this couple and that Castello and Tatum were destined to be each other soul mates but, for Castello she was the one who would be saving his soul and his saving grace.

Overall we loved this heart wrenching tale and the ending will have you needing tissues...

Love Loved it !

Blood Lies

Omg ! Omg ! Omg ! What a fantastic read! This is a brand new author for us and we have to say that this book Duet Blood Lies and Blood Vows moved up to my top favorite read Mafia books for 2019.

I can honestly say I am still reeling from reading this story and its conclusion.Talk about a Dark Sadistic romance read this one was just that.The story was filled with a ton of suspense,bdsm,blood letting,betrayal's sadistic character's and character's with no souls,villains, lies upon lies and it was heart pounding and sick but, through all that chaos the monster who resided within the man found it's mate.I loved the story from cover to cover as sick as it was it was it was so engrossing and page turning because you never new what would happened next because once you thought you had things figured out it turned out there was just more of the unknown.

My heart bleed for Tatum time and time again for what she endured at the hands of the Fattore family but, though it all she remained as brave as she could be.Caught up in a web of lies she was going to pay the ultimate price and that was with her life.

Castello we found him to be one sadistic cold hearted bastard who was darker than dark and his sexual needs were just as dark as he was. Castello was all of these  things and then some but, the man was one with a conscience after all.

Overall this was one super hot read that had amazing cast of character's and the lot of them were a bunch of sick bastards with no morals and no conscience at all not only that showed no loyalty at all to those they were pledged to.Though all the chaos and betrayals a couple had found each other to sooth the demons that resided within them.We loved the well crated tale that had us literally shaking and on edge the entire time and it will not be a story that I will forget reading anytime soon.

Prologue

CASTELLO

This all started with a well thought out plan for revenge. For months I plotted against the Linscotts, and I vowed to avenge my twin brother and father’s death. I had Tatum Linscott kidnapped, and held her prisoner in a room with nothing but an old bed, and a cold cement floor to piss on.

The plan was simple—kidnap the golden girl of the Linscott family, then lure her father straight down to the hell I had specially prepared for both of them. And once I had my fun, extracted every last drop of revenge I craved from them, they would pay the ultimate price with their lives.

I wanted to watch them bleed on the tiled floor of my dining hall, witness the life drain out of their bodies. I wanted to slice the blade of my knife through Tatum’s skin, to see her body weep tears of crimson. But little did I know that her blood would feed the monster inside me. That her innocence marred with desires for the darkness would make me want her in ways that were completely forbidden.

She was the daughter of my enemy, and the blood my family demanded flowed through her veins. Yet, I couldn’t stop myself from being captivated by the blue eyes that seemed to plead with me to set her free from the prison society had put her in.

Her body called out to me.

The scars on her skin seduced me.

And ultimately…Tatum Linscott ruined me.

TATUM

A few weeks ago I was kidnapped by an enemy I didn’t even know I had.

I was beaten.

I was starved.

I was humiliated.

My life held no value to my enemy, and death was promised with venomous threats of hate. Every minute that went by was a minute spared. I knew it was only a matter of time before a knife got driven through my heart.

But then something happened, and it changed everything. Somehow the line between captor and prisoner had been crossed, and I found myself in a world I never knew existed. A world where family and loyalty were everything, yet lies and deception were used as weapons against blood.

The Fattores built their hate, and their war against me and my family based on lies told by a man that I trusted once. A man I welcomed into my life, and into my bed. In the end it almost cost me my life.

While I was held captive I never could have predicted the outcome. What I never expected to find within the walls of lies that surrounded me was freedom. That was why I had to run…because Castello Fattore freed me.

Author’s Note:

Blood & Vows is the second and final book in my Twisted Duet series,

and should be read after Blood and Lies.

I’m sad to let Castello and Tatum go, but I loved every minute I spent with these characters. Telling their story has been the best part of my writing career so far.

Please be aware that this novel contains scenes of violence, and sexual situations that may be triggers, and make some readers uncomfortable. For some readers there may be scenes that are just downright disturbing. But you’ve been warned.

To all the readers who have fallen in love with the dark and twisted romance between Castello and Tatum, thank you for loving these characters as much I do.
