Cold Cole Heart
From USA Today Bestselling Author K Webster, comes a new dark romance standalone novel!
I once was a hero.
Until she kept me as her captive, tortured me, and killed my brothers.
She bred a monster.
Nothing could stop me from seeking revenge.
But it was over so quickly--her easy death a mercy she didn't deserve.
For a decade, the burning rage of what she did has transformed into something uncontrollable.
Something I want to feed.
Something I crave to unleash.
I want to make her pay.
Over and over and over again.
Finding the evil, spoiled women sates my ravenous, vengeful soul.
I hunt. I capture. I destroy.
Slowly. So slowly.
One, two, three, four, five...
And now six.
I'm wicked and sadistic.
I am Cold Cole Heart.
My mission is death and their payment to me has come due.
Number six thinks she is different.
Yet when I look at her, I see them.
She will pay. They always do.

I've been dying to read Cold Cole Heart ever since it was announced! Why wouldn't I be? K Webster is the queen of dark romance afterall. She writes in many genres, but she crafts the dark ones like no one else can! I swear, I wish I could climb inside her mind for just one day to witness her genius up close.
The way she makes me love and root for even the most disturbed individuals is unbelievable. It actually makes me question my sanity at times. That's some damn good writing! I mean, why else would I feel sorry for someone that has admitted to torturing and murdering other human beings? Why else would I want the victim to help the lunatic that captured her? It's either sensational writing, or I'm a sick motherfucker. I prefer to believe the former. Lol
Cole Heart is a broken, abused, and slightly insane man, but I loved him from the very beginning. You see, Cole wasn't born that way. He was turned into the monster he is by an even bigger one.
A military veteran, he was once a hero that sacrificed his life for his fellow man. One sadistic woman managed to turn that courageous man into a shadow of his former self. She warped his mind and hardened his heart. Her madness created his.
Natalie Dusana knows all about madmen. She has been held prisoner by one for years. The daughter of a famous actress, Natalie lived a beautiful life until someone ripped it all away by murdering her mother. Raped, neglected, starved, and beaten, her life is now filled with nothing but cruelty and hate.
You wouldn't think these two characters could have a happy ending. Maybe you don't think Cole even deserves one. Their lives are more like horror stories than fairytales, and Cole sounds more like a villain than a hero. That's the beauty of a K Webster novel though! She will find the most unlovable character and make you fall for them. You will find yourself wishing desperately for a twisted happily ever after. I promise you that! If you don't believe me, read it and see for yourself. If you're a fan of this author's work, you already know what's up, so don't hesitate to one-click this one!
I recommend Cold Cole Heart to anyone that loves dark romance, anti-heroes, mentally unstable characters, and unconventional romance!

Dark. Twisted. F-cked up. Classic K Webster, and I LOVED every single minute of it. So straight up, this book doesn't lend itself to my usual in-depth way of reviewing. I am going to be vague. I am going to be brief. I don't want to give anything away. Just trust me when I say you should go into this one blind and hang on for a wild ride. And please do yourself a favor and read it until the END.
As I mentioned above, this is pretty much a classic K Webster book. Fantastic writing. Well paced. An engaging plot. Twists and turns. Mind f-ckery. Disturbing. Sexy. Kinky. Slightly tabooish. Bat sh!t crazy, but strangely still likable characters. Definitely not for the faint of heart or if you have any triggers. Last, it was all wrapped up in a very satisfactory ending. So yea, what are you waiting for? Run, don't walk, and add this one to your reading list ASAP.

4 Heart & Soul Stars
Cole was devoured by darkness, he was death.
I’m nothing but a shell of hate and vengeance. My thirst for blood fuels me.
He is a monster, he tortures, he maims and he kills. But this time, his number six is different from others. When she looks at him, instead of fear she feels… alive! She knows he’s violent and insane but still…
Ms. Webster is one of those rare authors who can create greatmonsters anti-heroes! I love her dark books. Loved both MCs, they were both broken, so messed but you can’t not love them! She was so brave and smart, he was at war with his monster and it was good to see it! Told in dual POV, 1st person. It’s a standalone dark psychological romance, well-written and well-paced with likable characters. Overall, it was an enjoyable read for me and hope you like it as well!

Wow! What a book!!! As with any of K. Webster’s work... expect the unexpected! I went into Cole and Natalie’s story blind... and I am very glad that I did. Their story is dark and disturbing at times... yet underneath the crazy is a story of love.
I can’t say much except that it really must be read until the end!!! Also, I always think it takes huge talent for an author to have an anti-hero that ends up making me feel for him and even start liking him despite his enormous flaws!! Cole is for sure that kind of character
If you’re a reader who likes a dark read, then definitely give this a go!! It will keep you guessing until the end!!!

*****FOUR STARS*****
This was a very dark and disturbing read.
I've come to expect nothing less from a K. Webster book.
She's also pretty damn good at writing romcoms.
Hope she does a few more of those next year. :)
Overall, this wasn't too bad.
Not my favorite by this author but still pretty entertaining.

Genre: Dark Romance
Type: Standalone
POV: First Person - Dual
Rating:
Cole Heart was no longer the man he used to be. Even after years had gone by since he was forced to survive, the need for vengeance never receded. He had found his latest target, but Natalie Dusana might prove to be a challenge he never anticipated.
Cole was an interesting anti-hero. He was so consumed by his obsession in destroying what he set his mind on. I love characters with certain issue and usually could connect with them easily, but somehow I didn’t feel as much connection to him.
I was definitely drawn more to Natalie. I like her story and how she coped with her situation before and after. I also like the juxtaposition of her character.
Before starting, I thought this book would be dark. Yes the subject matter was dark but the overall feel wasn’t. With that said, there were a few cringe worthy scenes lol! Even though at times I didn’t necessarily feel much connection between them, I was fully satisfied with the scorching sex scenes.
Cold Cole Heart is a story of overcoming trauma. It would appeal to fans of dark romance.

“Sometimes torture isn’t about cutting off fingers, honey,” he croons as he takes my hand. He uncurls my fingers and threads his through them. “Sometimes it’s about cutting your mind.” He leans down and plants a kiss between my breasts. “Sometimes it’s about cutting your heart.”
Cole was an interesting anti-hero. He was so consumed by his obsession in destroying what he set his mind on. I love characters with certain issue and usually could connect with them easily, but somehow I didn’t feel as much connection to him.
He was just enough relatable that I clung to him, desperately hoping he’d be the dark hero in my story. I’d forgotten my story was full of villains.

“I’m worse than a monster,” I bite out, shame scratching away at my insides. I don’t care. I never care. So why the fuck do I care now? “I’m a nightmare.”

Cold Cole Heart gave me just the kind of mind freak I was looking for!
This will probably be the shortest review I've ever written for a K Webster book. I intend to be vague because I think this story is best experienced by going in blind. It's that good, it's that real, and I really think you're going to love it.
Cole Heart was a broken man with a broken soul. An American hero, he's still very much fighting the war, even if it's only in his mind. He's obviously got PTSD and it manifests itself in such wondrous ways. Everything was going according to his plan until one woman spoke to each dark crevice of his heart.
Natalie Dusana was a broken girl with a broken soul. After her mother's tragic death, she's jumped from one nightmare to another. Only one monster is far more preferable to the other and she's willing to do whatever it takes to make him keep her. Even if that means allowing the darkness to seep into each crack of her heart.
Join the madness. Leap into the shadows. Revel in the darkness. This story will warp your thoughts and have you questioning just about everything you're reading. It's perverse and sadistic and messed up and delicious and I loved every minute of it!

First of all, if you're like me and love going into a book blind and kinda interested in this book, I would suggest skipping reading this review all together because man, this book is a doozy to review without some slight spoilers.
And for those who just can't help themselves, well...
Don't say I didn't warn you.
“Please don’t hurt me.”
He laughs, the sound maniacal and evil. “That’s exactly what the other five begged for as well. Although, I must say, they were a little more convincing in their effort to make me feel sorry for them. Sobs. Sexual favors..."
The hero is a serial killer. He kidnapped five women. He starved them, tortured, raped and killed them. And somehow Number 6 broke that cycle.
Oh, at the prospect of getting her pregnant after multiple unprotected sex they have, this is what he thought of.
She’ll get pregnant.
It will happen.
If I keep fucking her like this, it will happen.
Then I’ll have to kill them both.
See? Crazy. And let's not forget the knife in the hoo-hah scene.
Number 6 a.k.a. Soul is a rape victim. Right from the start, the first scene was her getting raped by her cousin. And when the hero kidnapped her, she took it almost as a blessing despite you know, HE KIDNAPPED AND TORTURED THE DEATH OUT OF HER.
Now, despite all that, I FREAKING LOVE THIS BOOK. It's fucked up, I know. But trust me, if you're okay with blood/knife play and dubcon stuffs, stick to the end. It's going to get so bloody (literally) good!
Okay, now for the REAL spoiler.

4 monsterstars!
I oved it! It was dark, intense, crazy and I couldn’t stop reading it. Only Webster can make me love a H who is messed up and out of control the way Cole was. I’ll keep this review short and simple since I don’t want to give anything away.
-Alexander Pope-
The story grabbed me from the first page and kept me there till the end, even in those difficult moments when it was so hard I never thought to stop. Both MC were victims of circumstances beyond their control and went through so much and fought hard to come out of the hell they were in. Cole, his gives a whole new meaning to antihero but I loved him so hard and if you read this till the end you’ll know why. Truly enjoyed. ♥️

Crazy Ride...

I liked the book and it held my interest
Like many dark romances with kidnapping/captivity, this book wasn’t very realistic. I know there is such a thing as Stockholm syndrome but the heroine seems to fall for the guy torturing her pretty quickly and sees him as a savior for rescuing her from her abusive cousin, when he treats her worse. She excuses him because she sees some of the same issues in him as in herself in that they are both suffering from PTSD. Her from living with her cousin and him from being a prisoner of war when a mission went bad and his Seal team was tortured for years and he was the only one that made it back.

Cold Cole Heart by K Webster–
GENRE: Dark Romance/Thriller
NARRATION: Dual POV
BOOK DETAILS: Standalone
I am not going to go into any details here as you are best to go in blind with this book and if I give you too many details it will spoil the suspense.
MY THOUGHTS:
Well that certainly wasn’t what I was expecting! K Webster sure turned out the lights on this one leaving us stumbling in the dark. This is a twisted, physiological thriller meets dark romance story but be warned the romance is less on the sweet and more on the disturbing side.
How does she do it ? Time and time again she makes me fall for her anti-heroes! I seriously may need to check my sanity levels especially with this one, Cole is one dark character.
“I'm jealous. I don't want her to think about that monster. I'm her monster. The scariest fucking one of them all.”
I love the psychological aspects to this story, it may push the boundaries for some, but I loved the raw grittiness of it .There are some seriously intense sex scenes and violence throughout so consider yourself warned.
Cole and Natalie’s story is not an easy one and as the plot unravels you find yourself tearing through each page hooked on them both.
Cole is a memorable character, his traumatized past has literally left him insane, but you can’t help feeling sorry for him, you can hardly blame him being the way he is after all he has suffered.
Natalie all though a seemingly weak heroine at first comes through strong and steadfast in the end, she was the perfect kind of crazy for Cole and together they made sense.
Kristi is such a talented writer, she is one of my favourites! You are always guaranteed an original, all-consuming and jaw dropping story full of twists and of course that delicious darkness she's well known for, and she certainly delivers all that in Cold Cole Heart . If you are a fan of K Webster’s and Dark stories then you won’t want to pass on this!
“I want to break her so I can stitch her together again. Over and over again until I’ve woven in so much of me, we’re practically one.”

Cole Heart has a tortured past and relives the trauma each day. Vowing vengeance for his anguish and the pain of his brothers, Cole methodically exacts his plan and tries to escape his demons. In so doing, complications arise forcing Cole to confront the truth.
“These monsters created cracks within me. Deep, dark crevasses that suck all humanity into their void. I’m lost. I’m so fucking lost.”
For the past few years, Natalie Dusana has lost control of her life and is counting down the days to her freedom. When her situation changes, Natalie realizes she needs to comply with the rules of a new monster.
“I want to break her so I can stitch her together again. Over and over again until I’ve woven in so much of me, we’re practically one.”
Told in dual POV, the dynamic of this storyline opens with a premise based on revenge and as the plot unravels, it becomes clear that the connection with Cole and Natalie is fairly unique. When Natalie doesn’t seem to fit into the preconceived notion of what Cole expects, it changes how he approaches his end game. For Natalie, her past adds an interesting and unforeseen dimension to this theme.
“I’m every bit a player in this fucked up game as he is. He’s not figuring anything out. Neither of us is. We’re getting more and more lost in whatever it is that happens when we’re together.”
Cole is a character that has deep and serious issues to contend with. There were times when his actions didn’t align, but then as the plot builds, the reasons become clear. Though I would have liked to delve into Cole’s psyche a bit more. As for Natalie, she is just as broken as Cole and her ability to cope is admirable. Considering her situation, she also made me laugh at times when she puzzled Cole. Lastly, the sex definitely has elements of erotica and it steams the pages.
Cold Cole Heart is a story about two broken people who try to rebuild and leave the past behind. K. Webster crafts an interesting angle to the captive-captor theme.

Cole’s traumatic past and has left a stain.
A former navy seal with a dark and damaged history this trauma is now driving and compelling him to take woman that remind him of HER his former tormenter and Natalie is now number 6.
On the surface, she seemed just like the others but straight away Cole realises she is different and struggles to keep to the unusual and a lid on his crazy.
Natalie’s unique psychology calls to him she doesn’t react typically and her reactions bring out Cole’s sadistic side inviting it to play.
Still, despite his awful treatment of her she still craves him and wants him.
Cole is all sorts of damaged and wrong he deals with his demons by projecting his internal pain onto others.
He is battling all sorts of inner turmoil which has manifested in his insanity.
I actually felt equal amounts of revulsion and sympathy for Cole wanting to hate him but still unable to totally condemn him despite his behaviour.
Got to be a super-power this author has to make me feel this way.
So this book was by no means straight forward, there is a lot going on beneath the surface and it did manage to creep up on me taking me by surprise.
There was a lot more going on here than was initially apparent and as this started to unravel I was totally agog.
It’s also certainly not going to be for everyone and be aware it does have some dark triggers and a healthy dose of Stockholm.
Myself, I was transfixed and even when It was uncomfortable reading I still couldn’t put this down.
I really enjoyed this one a lot, it managed to capture my imagination and I can always rely on this author to deliver an intensive experience.
If you like your boundaries stretched this is a good one as it definitely pulls at them.
An intriguing and unique read that I highly recommend.

This book is dark, twisted, and totally insane but I loved every sordid minute of it. K. Webster does an impressive job when it comes to bringing her readers anti-heroes and it's honestly hard not to fall for them. Cole Heart is one of the darkest characters I have come across in a long time. But there is something in him that despite the terrible things he has done, he is likable. That's not to say that I condone his actions at all. I just that he's so different and so abnormal, that you can't help the connection you build with him. Kudos to K. Webster for this. I am stunned!
If you enjoy dark, twisted, and gritty reads that will push your boundaries then I recommend reading this one. This book won't be for everyone. But if you can keep an open mind and remember this is a piece of fiction then I recommend it. The closest thing I can compare it to is her War & Peace series. If you liked that, this is a good pick for you.

That's not to say that I condone his actions at all. I just that he's so different and so abnormal, that you can't help the connection you build with him. Kudos to K. Webster for this. I am stunned!
If you enjoy dark, twisted, and gritty reads that will push your boundaries then I recommend reading this one. This book won't be for everyone. But if you can keep an open mind and remember this is a piece of fiction then I recommend it. The closest thing I can compare it to is her War & Peace series. If you liked that, this is a good pick for you.

Dammit...I don't know what the hell just happened when I went to switch book type, but I lost my review. Anyway, I DNF at 16%, and rated it a BIG FAT ONE-STAR!
Hated dumb-ass Natalie, hated Cole and his pretty mouth, and hated the unrealistic premise of this hot mess of a book. What a waste of my four dollars!
Backspaced several times to find the original review, so here it is (good grief):
DNF at 16%, Natalie Cole. Cole...Natalie. (Did the author choose the H/h's names as some sort of inside joke? If so, err...okay)
With that...there goes four bucks down the crapper. I had to quit early on, as I definitely don't see this book getting any better. The first red flag was at the beginning, when the male character Cole was referred as 'Captain' by his fellow SEAL team members, at the ripe old age of twenty-one. REALLY???
I could have possibly overlooked that error, but the story only got worse with the H/h's introduction and initial 'cute meet'. Of course, I'm being sarcastic, and I hate the term 'cute meet'...
For me, stories have to make sense, regardless of genre. Characters need to behave and react to situations in a way that makes it believable. 'Cold Cole Heart' defies logic.

When K Webster promises dark, she delivers. Cold Cole Heart is definitely a rollercoaster of emotion! I was hooked from the first page, dragged through the dark journey that Cole and Natalie had traveled on. It’s an incredible, intoxicating, sexy read which offers some murky speed bumps. Loved every word!

Captain Cole Heart returned from a six-man SEAL operation alone and a severely broken man. Suffering from severe PTSD, Cole is angry and needs revenge on Anta, an evil woman who has tortured them for months. Anta died too quickly by his hand I showed her the mercy she never showed me. A quick death. and like she did to him and his mates, he never got to torture her.
He sees her in the spoiled rich bitches around him and takes his revenge on them
Stalking and kidnapping 21-year old Natalie Dusana, Cole is baffled by the difference from her to the others. The rich bitches usually are screaming and ordering me to take them back with their snotty noses in the air.
Nathalie is the daughter of a rich & famous actress and had a wonderful and beautiful life. At the age of 17 her mother is murdered and Nathalie is shipped off to her mother's family. Locked up, starved, regularly raped & beaten, Nathalie lives her life of domestic slavery in cruelty and hate.
The story of Cole & Nathalie is a fucked-up one but a real page turner with consists mind blowing twists and turns.
It's amazing to watch Nathalie taking control of her life and exposing her tormentor's real colours.
While this book is labelled "dark" I did not experience it to be that dark, mind you there were some really cringe worthy scenes!
This outstanding Webster original is one I highly recommend!

I can’t even begin to explain this book, to put into words the twisted web that K. Webster weaves.
Cold Cole Heart is a psychological erotic thriller that pairs Cole Heart and his six victim, Natalie – or as he sees her, the woman who took everything from him.
If you’re a fan of K. Webster, you know that you NEVER know what you’re going to get when you open up one of her books. You know that you’ll be taken on an F’d up ride, you know that it will be dirty, it will be brutal and it will make you feel all the feels.
This story contains so many twists and turns that I am not going to take away the surprise of the journey. Read it, figure it out, be shocked and fall in love with the monster.
If you are on the fence, fall the fuck over and get this.

Holy shitballs!... this book is so intense! It’s dark, depraved, and will have you questioning your own sanity. Cold Cole Heart is all sorts of fucked up. I would love to spend a day climbing through the dark caves of K. Webster’s mind. That girl is not right in the best way. If you like dark reads, and I mean DARK reads, you gotta check this one out!!

I devoured this faster than expected. Cold Cold Heart resembles its title without failure—it is cold, dark and twisted, everything you shouldn’t enjoy but undoubtedly will when you read this insane story.
I’m going to attempt to leave this review vague, because you’ll really want to step into this oblivious and unknowing. Just know that right and wrong are blurred, almost becoming one and the same, with complex characters and a profound, disturbed story-line that will have you intrigued.
I'm jealous. I don't want her to think about that monster. I'm her monster. The scariest fucking one of them all.
K Webster is known for creating wicked anti-heroes that you can’t help but love. She’s also known for writing savage and devious twists that will leave you shocked, unsure of where the story will head. Cold Cold Heart is classic K Webster, without doubt.
Once a strong, patriotic military veteran, Cole Heart has become a haunted shell of his former person. I love a good tortured hero, especially one obsessed and fixated on something unhealthy. They teeter along a fragile line of sane and insane, becoming this complicated and multi-faceted character that is fascinating and brilliant. Cole is that very kind of personality throughout.
Considering everything she's been subjected to, Natalie Dusana is an admirable character as she's strong-willed and not easily destroyed. She's shattered, extra frayed around her bruised heart, jumping from nightmare to nightmare. However, that doesn't mean she will give up so easy—she has somewhat abnormal goals and she's ready to accomplish them, even if it means allowing darkness to trickle slowly through the cracks.
He was just enough relatable that I clung to him, desperately hoping he’d be the dark hero in my story. I’d forgotten my story was full of villains.
There's dangerous energy that crackles between Cole and Natalie. It seems unlikely that they could have a happy ending, but K Webster manages to twist these characters into a relationship that is unconventional yet redeemable. If you've read, loved and obsessed over K Webster's other dark romance, you'll enjoy this fascinating novel!

I'm not going to reveal any details for this book for two reasons- 1)It won't be released until next week- 11/14/2018. 2)This book is best to go into blind.
When I started this book, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the dark and heavy theme. I've been going through some personal shit lately and it made me a bit gun-shy for a serious book. Plus I only read a couple books the entire last month, which is practically unheard of for me, and still wasn't entirely in a reading mood. But it is K Webster and she hasn't disappointed yet so I dove right in. And holy crap, you guys, this book is phenomenal.
Cold Cole Heart is so so so good. It is probably my favorite book that I have read so far this year. If you like dark and psychological romances, this book will knock your socks off. I highly recommend it. So much so that I encourage you to drop whatever you are doing on release day and dive right in.
I am giving this book six *I'm so happy I read it* stars!!

I knew K. Webster can never disappoint me. She really has a way of making me like her anti-heros so much. This was indeed something new with whole serial killer plot but you wont be able to see the twist till the end.
Overall a really good read.

I couldn't connect with characters, nor the story. Otherwise it's typical K. Webster story - creazy as hell :) But predictable. When you read some of K. Webster books you already know the ending, it's inevitable.
All the guilty is on me: my taste changed past this years; it's normal after reading so many books that you crave to read something new and deeply meaning stories.

No me esperaba este libro para nada, ya que no leí la sinopsis y es muy diferente a los demás que leí. Esta novela contiene un romance oscuro, desviado, sucio y depravado, al principio me costo mucho entender que pasaba, pero luego me enganche porque necesitaba saber que iba a pasar porque todo se pintaba muy negro.😬
Hace diez años, el capitán Cole Heart y su equipo fueron capturados por la realeza egipcia. La mujer, Anta, y su hermano los mantuvieron como rehenes. En la actualidad, Cole sufre de trastorno de estrés postraumático severo. Él ve a Anta en todas partes, ella vive dentro de otras mujeres, y él se vengará de ella. Ella murió demasiado rápido por su mano; nunca llegó a torturarla, como ella lo hizo con él.
Natalie Dusana, una joven de veinte años, sufrió la perdida de su madre que era una actriz famosa y dejó a Natalie todo en su testamento, pero después de su asesinato, su tío acogió a Natalie. Cuando muere, su hijo adoptivo, Alan, el primo de Natalie, decide que quiere el dinero para él mismo, por lo que la mantiene prisionera. Ella se dice a sí misma que puede llegar a su cumpleaños, y luego tomará el dinero y correrá. Pero desafortunadamente para la pobre Natalie, es secuestrada por Cole.😱
Cole y Natalie son personajes fascinantes y tienen mucha profundidad y facetas, bien detallados y con hechos bien explícitos que explican muchas cosas. La relación entre ellos está muy lejos de lo que la sociedad considera normal, pero ellos luchan por ello🤨. En cuanto a Cole, todas las cosas que le han pasado le han hecho vengarse pero cada página que pasa su comportamiento cambia hasta el hecho de protegerla contra todos. Natalie es valiente, se esfuerza por ser fuerte💪🏻, pero sinceramente no tiene deseos de huir porque no le tiene miedo, ya que ha pasado por mucho y cosas muy duras. Ella ha incorporado en sí misma instintos de supervivencia que cegarán totalmente a Cole cuando estén juntos.

I didn't expect this book at all cause I didn't read the synopsis and it's very different from the others I read. This novel contains a dark, deviant, dirty and depraved romance, at first it cost me a lot to understand what happened, but then I got hooked because I needed to know what was going to happen because everything was painted very black.😬
Ten years ago, Captain Cole Heart and his team were captured by Egyptian royalty. The woman, Anta, and her brother kept them hostage. Currently, Cole suffers a severe post-traumatic stress disorder. He sees Anta everywhere, she lives inside other women, and he will take revenge on her. She died too quickly by her hand; he never tortured her, as she did with him.
Natalie Dusana, a twenty-year-old girl, suffered the loss of her mother who was a famous actress and left Natalie all in her will, but after her murder, her uncle welcomed Natalie. When he dies, his adopted son, Alan, Natalie's cousin, decides he wants the money for himself, so he keeps her prisoner. She tells herself that she can get to her birthday, and then she will take the money and run. But unfortunately for poor Natalie, she is kidnapped by Cole.😱
Cole and Natalie are fascinating characters and have a lot of depth and facets, well detailed and with very explicit facts that explain many things. The relationship between them is far from what society considers normal, but they fight for it🤨. As for Cole, all the things that have happened have made him revenge but every page that passes his behavior changes until the fact of protecting her against everyone. Natalie is brave, she tries hard to be strong💪🏻, but sincerely she has no desire to flee because she is not afraid of it, cause she has gone through a lot and very hard things. She has instilled in herself survival instincts that will completely blind Cole when they are together.

Arc provided in exchange for an honest review
4.5 Heart and Soul stars!!!!
Review contains mild spoilers.
Can I have a Cole Heart please? This book was amazing. K.Webster delivered with this thrilling psychological romance.
This is Cole and Natalie’s story. Cole is an ex Navy-SEAL who is suffering from PTSD. Years ago, Cole and his team were hostages to a depraved woman named Anta. They suffered tremendously and Cole was the only survivor. Cole now kidnaps, torture and murders women who remind him of Anta. This is his way of punishing her. Natalie is the 6th woman he kidnaps. But Natalie has been through her own hell. Nothing is worse than Alan for her. Alan is her non-blood related cousin who she stayed with after her mother’s death. .
The connection between them is so beautiful. In some ways, their traumatic experiences are so similar, they needed each other to be healed.
You’re not like them. You are different.
We talk and laugh and when we don’t feel happy, we brood together in silence. Always together.
Natalie is such a strong heroine. She was not a docile victim. She knew when to fight back and when to be agreeable.
I was pleasantly surprised with this book. And the sex scenes were steamy AF, which is to be expected from a K.Webster book. And that twist in the end had me going WTF . Overall this book is a must read, but be warned it does have sensitive topics.

I...lord this one I had some mixed feelings because fuck.. my mind was do I cheer for Cole or no lol. My taste in men these days 🤣🤣��🤣
Cole he had a horrible thing happened to him and his team when they were captured horrible things were done to him and his team now he has moments and PTSD moments to hurt attack or kill a woman who made him a monster. He found his next victim but little did he know Natalie wasn't like the others she wasn't posh, snobby rich no she was her own victim in a household where her cousin sexually assults her.
Now shes kidnapped and her own mind is fucked up with Coles..she rather be a monsters play toy then have the monster at home touch her. Their relationship is toxic but in his own twisted ways Cole loves her even if he snaps once and awhile lol. And Natalie never blames him she wants to know more about him and what he went though. I did get confused for a moment but then reread it.
Angst, om drama (her evil cousin)tiny ow (the woman he slept with), drama, sexy times, no virgins and kinda manwhore (he sometimes sleeps with his "victims")
