Lilly [Hiatus due to School] 's Reviews > Bloodbath

“If I can’t have you, everything might as well fall apart. There is no me without you anymore”

Bloodbath was another wonderful addition to the series. It made me stressed as they tried to keep their covers.

The boys manage to infiltrate Toro’s villa and get close using the "gift" intended for Moreno. They must pretend to be cousins working together and nothing more. However, as they plan and play their roles, things start to go awry.

I was worried for Seth as he went undercover because this man, despite his upbringing and family, is such a softie. When he breaks down and tells Dom his feelings and fears...that broke my heart. He is not Dom, and Dom realises it and the way he protects what made Seth Seth was just the sweetest.

I loved how this story added another layer to their relationship. They’re as hot as always, but I also love how their relationship continues to evolve, with their love for one another becoming deeper and deeper. Their relationship isn’t perfect, but the devotion to and acceptance of one another is just so beautiful.

“It was the look of awe in Seth’s eyes that made Domenico want to become a better man and the understanding of every side of Domenico’s personality that made Seth so irreplaceable. Even when they fought, Seth was able to forgive him, and even though Seth could be so sweet himself, he also lived with the knowledge of what Domenico was and accepted it.”

“He’d told Domenico of his shameful fears, admitted how deeply he craved Dom’s protection, and it had been met with acceptance. As if he didn’t have to play up the brutal side of himself anymore to appeal to his husband’s sense of masculinity.”

“You are at my side. You are my home, and you make me forget the things I want to forget. Let me do this for you”

Dana is growing on me, and Dom’s reaction to her news killed me. He's such a traditionalist/misogynist and the things he decides to not budge on makes me laugh. I worry for any daughter he would have. Speaking of laughs, we get plenty of humor in this story as well which I enjoyed.

Also Mark annoyed the hell out of me. He stepped up when needed, but goodness, he also drove me nuts. Excited to see what’s going to happen between Nero and Miguel.

The ending was just spectacular! And that epilogue! I can’t wait for the next book.
