I am vengeance. I am rage. I am death. And…
I am coming for her.
Cold Cole Heart is a dark romance story of Cole Heart, a former Navy SEAL who had spent four months as a prisoner of war in Egypt. Four months of physical, mental, and sexual violence, including starvation, had taken every ounce of Cole’s sanity. He vowed to take down Anta, the self-proclaimed queen of Egypt, who thrived on punishing him and having his men killed. But Cole made a mistake. Instead of slowly punishing her like he wanted, he killed her in an instant.
A decade later, Cole is no longer the same man before those months as a POW. His PTSD has left him with anger and vengeance. He had already tortured and killed five women who all apparently resembled Anta. Now he’s down to one more. When he finds woman #6, he promises she will pay.
What Cole doesn’t know about Natalie, the sixth woman, is that she knows trauma just as much as he. After her mother died, she was all alone, but then her cousin, Alan, offered his home to her. She felt so welcomed, felt she finally had some family. Until one night, when Alan’s true colors emerged. But now Natalie is Cole’s prisoner, his version of Anta. While Cole promises he’ll kill her slowly, like the way Anta slowly tortured him, Natalie tries to figure him out, almost fearing him yet feeling drawn to him.
I’ve read K. Webster’s Pretty Little Dolls series and really enjoyed it, and I finally got around to reading this excellent standalone. The storyline drew me in, and there are plenty of intense moments. One scene in the middle of the book made me look away and cringe for a bit because it was too graphic. Still, I read on, especially because these two are so messed up, and I needed to know how far they were going to go. I didn’t expect that plot twist later in the story, either, but I think the author did a good job. Dark romance fans ought to indulge in this one. Brace yourselves! Feel free to post your comments. Happy reading!
Warning: This story contains graphic physical, mental, and sexual violence.
