Dayo Benson is passionate about using fiction to convey powerful messages about redemption and God's love. When she is not writing she enjoys music, reading and going for long walks. She lives in North West England with her husband and their two beautiful daughters.
I am pretty convinced now that Dayo can't write a book that isn't a page turner. Her characters are complex but consistent. They are loveable and yet sometimes annoying (like real people tend to be.) Of the first four I am thinking the first and this one are my favorites so far. I am growing to like Chloe more with each book. I am really proud of her (even though she isn't a real person) because she is growing stronger and more sure of herself as time goes on. Getting away from toxic people certainly helps with the growing process. Family or not, her mother and nana are extremely toxic.
Colby is loveable and believable too, though I feel more sad for him as time goes on. He really is trapped. But as Chloe loves him unconditionally (yet with boundaries) he is also growing stronger and his heart is softening up a bit. This one is a real page turner as Colby starts to thaw out a bit. I loved how Dayo put them in impossibly intimate situations and still managed to keep things clean. Great job! My favorite part is how Dayo leaves you on a cliff hanger that is satisfying but also makes you want to keep reading and getting the next book. All around great writing and can't get enough of these books! Wish I had more time to read these days. I would burn through all of her books if I didn't have to work.
In this book we continue with the lives of Chloe and Colby. The reality show that they were both in, Saints and Sinners, in the previous book is now over, and the winner has been announced. As the story continues we have a much better look into the lives of Chloe and Colby. Chloe is just hanging on by a thread to her faith and after her mom and nana say something to her that breaks her heart she wonders if God even loves her. Meanwhile Colby is threatened by his bosses that he better do as they say. These 2 are so great as the main characters and I really enjoy every book I have read of Ms. Benson's. She is not afraid to write about difficult things that happen in life, whether you are a Christian or not. Pornography is explained very well in this book with lots of statistics that will blow you away with the number of people that deal with this horrible addiction. I pray that you read with an open heart and hold the victims in prayer not judgement. I received a free download of this book from the publisher. This review is totally my own honest opinion of a book and series that I have really enjoyed and can't wait for the next book!
Stuck with a beauty wrapped in shits Have you ever seen a beautiful son of a famous preacher, knee depth in pornography, a full time porn star? I can tell, you haven't.
Chloe's head kept saying no but her heart dragged her along in an opposite direction. Coby and Chloe met in a such an awkward way but this part of the series really made me see what people, like Colby are going through in the world but I ask myself, is anyone really irredeemable?
You can find out my answer in this book. It is a series, so you can start the series afresh, if you haven't.

I have never read any of Dayo’s books that didn’t make me anxious for the next in the series. The insight of the world of pornography from the actors to the addiction, is filled with darkness that only God can break them out of the depression, suicidal thoughts, and hatred. Dayo expresses the pain of Chloe’s heart to help Colby be set free from his demons and bosses. They both love each other but can God heal Colby and Chloe’s negative past for a “happy ending “? Can’t wait to read the next book.
I received an ARC of this book. This review is voluntary and is my honest opinion.' this is a book that describes what we are going through as individuals. We run from God instead of running to him like Adam did because of sin. This book has shown me that to keep feeling guilt and not accepting the love of God will take you in a downward spiral toward destruction. Learn to accept Love. I will really recommend this series to everyone it's what we need right now in the times we are in.
My heart is pounding! I won’t to cry for Chloe and Coby. Can he change and get away from his bosses without someone getting hurt or killed? Can he forgive himself and let go of his past? Can she forget his past and being afraid of being hurt again? Hopefully the remaining books can answer those questions.
Loved it enjoyed every bit of it. Wow amazing writing as usual. Wow Colby and Chloe are making me want to faint and get up start reading and fainting again. Keep up the great work dayo…love your name by the was. GOD bless us all.
