The second and final book in the Debt of Passion duet by CoraLee June continues with Hunter and Roe’s story. After the cliff-hanger in A Lovely Obsession, I jumped right into this book and finished it in almost one sitting. Man oh man, this one is angsty AF. I enjoyed this was much more than the first book! Or rather, it’s much more up my alley. I love angsty, second chance romances. I eat that shit up.

Ironically, the story flips and Roe pretty much becomes the stalker this time around. Gotta love a girl who knows what she wants ya know? Oh Hunter, what made you think you two would be able to forget each other?? You can’t outrun that kind of connection. 

I cried, I laughed, I had anxiety. So many emotions were felt in this book! I was also proud. Roe really comes into her own and isn’t running away from relationships like she’s always had. She’s running toward them. She’s fighting for them. It’ll be a cold day in Hell before she gives up on Hunter. 

This book was much more climactic than the first book. The story line was more intense and the plot twists were even crazier. If you haven’t finished the series yet, get going on this one! It’s easily one of my top 10 reads of 2022.

A Lovely Confession Quotes

A Lovely Confession Blurb

Sometimes, I wondered if he was real. 
Our time together was short, but it left a lasting impression on me. 
I’m older now. Wiser, too. 

Five years have passed, and I still can’t get him off my mind. 
Hunter was cruel, angry, and protective. 
I learned his secrets and he fled. 

The day he left, I vowed to find him. 
I guess now I have an obsession of my own: 

Track down Hunter Hammond and make him mine.

What an incredible conclusion to Roe and Hunter’s story! I loved this book and the emotional roller coaster that came with it. And I love CoraLee’s writing. She’s definitely an auto-buy author for me now! If you like romantic suspense with some damn good spice sprinkled in and a good dash of angst and yearning, this duet is for you. Let me know in the comments if you’ve read these books!

The post A Lovely Confession Book Review appeared first on A Blonde's Eye View.

I haven’t read many other stalker romances, well the only one I’ve ever read before was the Cat and Mouse Duet by H.D. Carlton…iykyk , so I wasn’t too sure if this is a trope I necessarily liked yet. I’ll tell ya, if they’re done as well as A Lovely Obsession by CoraLee June, I can jump on the stalker train.

Hunter’s obsession with Roe stems from both of their intertwined tragic childhoods and a promise to always keep her safe as part of a “debt” owed. Unknowingly to Roe, Hunter has been a part of her life for a long, long while. 

Because of her childhood, Roe only participates in surface-level relationships and numerous meaningless flings. She keeps everyone at an arms distance and makes reckless decisions much to Hunter’s dismay throughout the years.

Since the moment they finally meet, the tension is thickkkkkkkkk. This continues to grow as their encounters increase in frequency and they start testing each other for their own amusement. The banter and chemistry is so good! We definitely have an enemies to lovers situation here. 

Let’s also add in the fact that Hunter is also an assassin/hitman for the mafia, and I’m sorry, his hotness meter skyrocketed. This book was the perfect blend of some of my favorite tropes.

However, I do wish there was more of a climax in the plot. The build up was so good but I felt like we needed a bit more action. It kind of fell flat at the end. The ending does end with a cliffhanger and I don’t think I’ve ever downloaded a second book so quickly. I’m so invested in Hunter and Roe! 

Oh, I can’t end this without saying something about the poetry in this book. It is beautiful! Coralee, you are so talented. I can’t wait to read more of your books!

A Lovely Obsession Quotes

A Lovely Obsession Blurb

My guardian angel is a devil in disguise. 
He hates me. He protects me. 

He watches me. 

My stalker is obsessed with keeping me safe. He calls me his prettiest debt. 

An assassin in the notorious Bullet gang, he uses his empire to control my life. Everything I know is a lie. 

What started as a debt turned into something more. What started as regret turned into obsession. 

Ambition is his muse and I am his conscience. Our past may bind us together, but his enemies will tear us apart. 

My guardian angel is a devil in disguise. 
He hates me. He protects me. 

And I think I love him.

I’m so excited to jump into book two in this duet and see what in the world is going to happen with Hunter and Roe. That cliffhanger hurt. I have no idea where this next book will go! Love a good morally grey and obsessive MMC’s? Enjoy romantic suspense? This duet is for you!

Rina Kent is the queen of dark and twisted romances. God of Malice is the first book in Rina’s new dark college romance series, Legacy of Gods. I’m slowly making my way through her backlist and I have yet to be disappointed. Before I started this series, I binge-read her Deception trilogy. Wow. Those books need to be made into a cinematic masterpiece. My mind was blown. 

As for the her new Legacy of Gods series, I can already tell these are going to be even more twisted and dark especially as we get to other character’s books. Ahem, Eli and Jeremy. 

Killian Carson is a straight up psychopath in God of Malice. Brilliant but psycho. Like blood thirsty status. Although he’s never actually committed murder, it’s an urge he’s had to suppress since a young boy. Enter Glyndon King. She’s his most natural suppression to this urge. Ergo his possessiveness and obsession with her.

Glyn is a lost artist. She’s kind of just going through the motions not feeling up to par with her family and their artistic backgrounds. She’s on the verge of just giving up and ending everything when Killian finds her. He makes her feel again. I guess in its own messed up way, they save each other. 

Now, would I condone Kill’s behavior in real life? His obsession with Glyn, over the top possessiveness and the need to “break” her? No. Did I have a heck of a good time reading it? 1000% yes. Their story was very well written and I enjoyed the plot and all the suspense that came with it. I devoured this book in less than two days and I’m not going to lie, I re-read it a few weeks later. Do with that what you will. 

I’m very much looking forward to the rest of the series. The chaos, secret societies, mafia ties, rivalries, drama and allll of the spice. Rina Kent, you keep doing you. I’ll read whatever you throw at us.

Favorite Quotes

God of Malice Blurb

I caught the attention of a monster.
I didn’t ask for it.
Didn’t even see it coming.
But the moment I do, it’s too late.
Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm.
He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage.
The worst part is that no one sees his devil side.
I do.
And that will cost me everything.
I run, but the thing about monsters?
They always chase.

If you’re fan of dark romance, possessive MMC’s, morally grey characters, and spicy books, give God of Malice by Rina Kent a try! Let me know in the comments if you’ve read it and what you thought of the book!
