Thorns of Omertà #9
Thorns of Youth
Tyran Callahan, an Irish mobster, was every girl’s fantasy.
Gorgeous. Considerate. And sinfully sexy.
One kiss was all it took to become addicted to him.
One dare was all it took to turn my world upside down.
Then I was kidnapped and tortured, and my addiction to Tyran twisted into a need for revenge.
So I devised a plan to make him pay for every wrong he’d done.
There was only one problem.
I learned too late that Tyran wasn’t responsible for my kidnapping.
By then, the damage was done, and the Irish mobster ended up behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit.
Five years later, his sentence is over.
And Tyran is free.
He’s still gorgeous. Still devastatingly sexy.
But the considerate man I stole that first kiss from is gone.
In his place is a man consumed by darkness, fueled by revenge, and determined to make me pay for what I did to him.
I’m his target.
His prey.
And he intends to drag me, kicking and moaning, straight into his vicious world of blood, sin, and forbidden desire.
He warned me once to be careful what I wished for.
I didn’t listen.
Now I have to survive the monster I helped create—before his darkness consumes us both.

Thorns Of Youth : Part One of The Thorns Of Youth and Fire Duet !!
One kiss was all it took to become addicted to him.
One dare was all it took to turn my world upside down.
Oh my freaking gosh !! Where do I even find the right words to express how completely obsessed and in love I’ve become with this book / series !!! And we’re only on book one . From page one , from the second I met Sienna and Tyran I knew with 100 % certainty that I was not getting any sleep at all and oh man was I right . Because Sienna and Tyran - so freaking hot - like steam coming right off the pages hot . I loved the progression of their relationship, how they don’t just meet and fall in love . There are challenges and obstacles they have to overcome, like the difference in their age . And even though Sienna is crazy attracted to Tyran - even though she goes as far as getting a fake ID and going to a sex club . Because of the huge age difference he shuts the idea of them being together right down . It’s not until many years later , after many regrettable choices that everything changes . That they are once again brought back into one another’s universe. And trust me when I say nothing will stop Tyran from taking what he wants . I seriously could not devour this fantastic story fast enough ( and the huge cliffhanger at the end has left me anxiously awaiting the next book 📕

Not Quite Right
I am a massive Eva Winners fan and eagerly await every book. I personally feel this book should not have been split and maybe more time should’ve been taken to make sure the book was ready. This book felt underwhelming, and was a quick read for me (it took 20 mins while Jetmir took an hour). A split, to me, would be a sequel. Or you needed more events to happen (like the wedding or the truth coming out about the mistake). This was the first time I’ve read an Eva Winners book and just genuinely been underwhelmed and almost disappointed because book 2 will answer all the half points from book 1, but have nothing new to it or anything to really hook you in. I don’t know who advised the split but I hope it doesn’t happen with future books. I would very muck liken it to how Netflix splits its series unnecessarily.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Eva Winners certainly delivered a prickly and piercing story with Sienna and Tyran Callahan. But we all know those Callahan men cannot be trusted. They consume you.
Sienna has had it bad for Tyran. One kiss and she’s done for. But Fate throws a punch when she’s kidnapped. She blames Tyran. Except once he’s blamed and paying the price, Sienna realizes Tyran wasn’t her captor. But bitterness has festered while Tyran was incarcerated.
Once Tyran is released, Sienna becomes his target. She can’t escape or resist. The tension and attraction are burning. Now we wait for Book Two.

It all starts when Sienna visits a sex club. Sienna is underage at the time but has a fake id. Sienna does this in order to meet Tyran who she is crazy attracted to. Tyran who is 15 years older than Sienna shuts the idea down. Years later and many regrettable decisions later Tyran finds Sienna and prposes marriage. Then all hell breaks loose! Love how these two care for one another in the midst of chaos! Looking forward to book two!

Sienna has wanted Tyran Callahan since meeting him at his club. Tyran has been trying to leave Sienna alone but once she puts him behind bars the gloves come off. There is so much happening in this book it ends on a cliffhanger that leaves you screaming as you jump off. This tension these two have makes the pages light on fire. I can’t wait to see what happens next after that cliffhanger.

Riveting!!!
Eva!!!! I can't believe you did this to us!! This story is amazing!! I was nose deep reading and then the dreaded words TO BE CONTINUED. You did an awesome job with their story. There's so much history behind their relationship. Everything is just going to come full circle. Now I have to work on my patience for the next installment.

The build up!!
The build up in this one kept me on my toes. Sienna’s vulnerability is so raw. I felt for her so much. And Tyran… he was there for her despite her mistakes. But the ending 😱
I can’t wait for the second part to see what happens.
