Beauty From The Pain : An MMFM Serial Killer Romance: Cherishing What's Theirs

by R. Sullins

Since the day her sister had been murdered by a serial killer, FBI Special Agent Parker had been working toward one goal. Her entire world had been turned upside down when she was sixteen, and now seven years later she was finally close to making her dream of becoming a Profiler a reality.

Several young women have ended up dead near a small town in Texas, and Parker was going to do what she could to be included in the investigation.
Her plan had been to gain the needed field experience to advance her career, but she hadn’t counted on them.

The huge, stoic, broody one who had shadows behind his eyes that made her want to know his secrets. The flirty, pretty one, always quick with a smile, that she was certain he used to mask his pain.

The silent one, always watching from the shadows, who thought he was damaged, but whose beauty she could clearly see shining through the scars he couldn’t hide.

They tried to break down her walls. They tried to make her theirs. But she had promised her sister that she would hunt down serial killers and put them behind bars. If only she’d known a killer had been close all along…

Cherishing What's Theirs (Killer Love Book 2) can be read as a standalone.

This dark why-choose was fast-paced, action-packed, suspenseful with just the right amount of deep emotion and spice. It was giving Criminal Minds vibes and was easy to read and get invested in these characters perfectly blending the mystery being uncovered and the romance that flourished as the story developed.

The dynamic between Parker aka Cherish, Dante, Gage, and Ry was just so delicious. I loved the banter, connection, and heat between them.

This was a quick/fun read that kept me captivated from beginning to end with great characters, a thrilling plot, and a sweet/satisfying ending.

I was so excited to get this book! When I found out how these characters were related to another book I've read from this author I was over the moon! I love how the author tied in both stories.
This book had mystery, danger, a few twists, and a little unaliving.

I loved Cherish. She was intelligent, determined, and confident. Dante, Ry, and Gage I loved them all too. The chemistry, banter, tender moments, and spice was perfect between them all. They all fit so seamlessly. Which made the steamy moments even better. 😉
I loved it all and the ending was satisfying!

This is a dark romance, that showcases real feelings and circumstances, I think this is a very good story, that is both compelling and engrossing. I love reading about Parker and her drive and dedication to find her killers sister. When she met Ry, Dante and Gage, it felt like fate and the story flowed. I cold not put it down and rooted for Parker to find what she needed to fill that void in her life. His is an excellent read!

Suspenseful

This book follows Parker and what becomes of her life once a serial killer takes her sister from her. Cherish Parker takes an ambitious career as a profiler and finds that sometimes the textbook can get things wrong and she needs to depend on herself to make decisions on how she wants to live her life.
If you enjoy suspense and feeling emotions as you read, you will enjoy this book.

Cherish had devoted her life to becoming a profiler, after the murder of her sister, she wanted the criminals to be punished and the victims families to get justice, now shes put her all into a case of several murders in Texas where she meets Gage, Ry and Dante, three men, brothers in arms from war, ajd returned unhole, Whilst Gage and Ry had eachother in a more intimate way Dantes life was tirned upside down when he was left scarred and alone on his return but now Cherish is in the picture, determined and head strong she sees them for who they are but what of her career? And the k*ller on the lose? Well written the story and characters draw you in with suspense, drama, twists, devotion and more a MMFM romance

[Doom Sunshine]

There are countless typos and formatting errors throughout this book. I was a bit disappointed in that, but not surprised considering the title has two typos in it.

The romance between the four people wasn't realistic nor was it well developed. I just plainly did not believe in the relationship(s) as they were written.

FMC allows too many touches, looks, winks to happen on the job for her to be taken seriously. Plus, he job as an FBI agent wasn't accurate either. It takes a very long time to get to the BAU team.

Nicknames/terms of endearments for the FMC:
Her real name is Cherish.
Nicknames: Parker, pretty girl, beautiful, sweetheart, baby, baby girl, babe, honey.

This was good. So good. Parker is out to find her sisters killer. Her dream of being a profile is so close. Then she meets Gage, Dante and Ry, the ex military god that have some dark pasts. These four together were fire. Intimately they were explosive. I loved the intensity of this story. It kept me on the edge if my seat from beginning to end. I loved everything about them, the story had depth. A definite page turner.

I enjoyed this dark serial killer romance story. Special Agent Parker is strongly compelled to gain a promotion as an FBI Profiler (while she is gaining experience investigating the recent female murders). However, these three guys (Dante, Gage, & Ryu) have her transfixed. She is trying to keep it together as she is hoping that they are interested.

Fab hot detective story

I absolutely loved this fab detective story. Parker was a profiler in the FBI. Her sister was killed previously by the Angel Killer and had still not been found. When another serial killer story broke, she was desperate to get onto the team helping to investigate it. In this new town was where she met three men who were about to rock her world. Hot read.
