Beautiful Sinner

Savage Kiss

Rate this book
There’s a shift in the warm air.

It’s pleasant and strumming over my nerve endings as the low clack of heels greets my ears. I don’t turn to face her when she’s close. Instead, I inhale deeply, and the sweet scent of freesia overtakes my senses. Like a vine wrapping around me, it binds my limbs while I throb for the petite beauty with a hunger that’s near maddening.

I want to eat her alive. Consume and gorge myself on what’s been denied to me for so long.

My bunny will never leave me again.

This book contains dark elements that some readers might find triggering. These men are brutal and unapologetic, please read at your own discretion.*

Elena M. Reyes is the epitome of a Floridian and if she could live in her beloved flip-flops, she would.

As a small child, she was always intrigued by all forms of art: whether it was dancing to island rhythms, or painting with any medium she could get her hands on. Her passion for reading over the years has amassed her with hours of pleasure, but it wasn't until she stumbled upon fanfiction that her thirst to write overtook her world.

She’s a short and sassy Latina with an adorable pup, a kiddo that keeps her on her toes, and a husband who claims she’ll cause him to go bald prematurely. Lol

★★★★. Was this the best? No. Did the whole relationship seem based on sex? Yes. BUT I had fun and you can’t beat a man who stayed celibate since meeting her and for three years when they were separated and did everything in his power to get revenge FOR HER.

(ARC REVIEW)

Ms. Reyes, you helped soothe the ache of missing this mafia world. Ive always loved a possessive alpha book boyfriend and Silas was just that. This man loved and craved Willow. You could feel his emotions throughout the whole book and I was hooked from the first page to the last. I absolutely loved Willow and what she represented in this book. This couple was absolutely dynamite in and out of the bedroom. Those last two chapters before the epilogue were not what I expected but oh what an ending. Then that epilogue was perfection. This couple may be the best one yet.

Do you like deep dark romances?
Then, this short romance is for you.
Buckle up and get ready for a wild ride through a provocative story that'll get you through a rollercoaster of mixed emotions.

From the first page, this novel was a gory affair, but that's what I wanted. Dark, dangerous and unapologetic.

Willow and Silas story is part of Elena's fascinating and brutal mafia world.

Silas is a tough "businessman" and a bloodthirsty avenger.
Cheated of his happiness by his own family, this is the story of how he takes revenge on those who underestimated him.
This story is definitely not for a faint-hearted audience.
It's a dark, violent and of course scorching hot story 🥵🔥🔥🔥

Willow's and Silas story is a brutal and damn sinful-erotic experience.
A perfect short dark mafia romance.

I recommend it to all dark romance lovers.

Silas was out for revenge after learning what drove Willow away from him and he planned on getting it. Willow thought she was a wanted woman so she left the country, only to return for her cousin's wedding. She then learns of the plot that was hatched to drive a wedge between her and Silas.

This is a great book. The characters are well written. The scenes were vividly descriptive.

Silas is a man on a mission with two objectives get his women back and get revenge for what was done to her. Willow ran 3 years ago when lies were pushed her way. This book is a quick read but will keep you invested all the way through. When the secrets and truths come out everything comes to light and Revenge will be had. I absolutely loved how Silas let Willow take on the revenge and get what was owed to her. Even when he is determined to make them pay, he lets her set the punishment. Silas will give Willow the world and she becomes the women who can truly stand beside him. I was given this book as an ARC.

An acquired taste, but a delicious one

All the warnings of darkness, depravity and obsession are right on target for SAVAGE KISS. It has all the things I love in a dark romance, an obsessed, dirty alpha male, smitten female and forced separation with unrequited love.

Silas gave Willow her freedom - his version of it, at least. Willow forced herself to leave Silas under circumstances we learn about in the story.

Three years later they are back together. Silas has set things in motion to reclaim their love and settle scores in a big way. It’s not a book for everyone, but I loved the intensity.

**3.5 stars**
This is the second book of read by Ms. Reyes. So she’s still a relatively new to me author.
I read Half Truths, Then and thought it was outstanding. And I’m absolutely looking forward to the follow up for it.
But this book lacked something for me.
I think maybe because I didn’t get to connect with the characters.
The book starts off with a bang. And I was thrown right into the plot and the suspense of it.
But I wasn’t given a chance to get to know the characters nor develop a bond with them.
I liked Silas, because I mostly always have a soft spot for the bad boy and antihero.
I love the possessive over the top alpha man and he’s definitely right up there for his bunny, Willow.
Willow is a sweet young lady. Trusting and kind. But dig deeper and there is more to her than meets the eye.
I really wish I got to know them more in depth and also gotten more from the villains so that I was invested more with each main player.
They passion and lust burn bright and hot with Silas and Willow. And there’s no denying their physical attraction to each other.
Ms. Reyes slowly uncovers and brings together the plot.
A lot of my questions were answered. Some were not.
My complaint with part of the storyline was it was a bit unfathomable that a woman could pull one over on Silas’ father. With their power and their type of business I would think the family would do their due diligence before letting someone into their lives.
But overall it was an exciting and steamy story, that let me get away from the real world for a bit.

Willow & Silas have a past together but not everyone was happy about it, and they were broken up based on a lie. They've been apart for a cool minute, but Silas never stopped obsessing about his girl, and he was protecting her even though she didn't know about it. Things escalate finally when she comes home for a family wedding, and he knows that he's not letting her get away this time. They had a lot to unpack, and when they discover what had happened, well let's just say revenge is on the table for the main course. On top of all the heat these two are generating, the twists are now coming in hot to keep me on the edge of my seat. The brilliant Elena M. Reyes never fails to get my heart racing while hijacking all my attention cover to cover, and I'll never get enough! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

ARC received for an honest review

No one writes a strong dominant alpha hero like Elena and Silas is no different. Set in her mafia world, it is dark and violent. She has such a way with her writing that you feel
Like you are right there witnessing gore for yourself.
This is the story of Silas and Willow and his quest for revenge. An awful misunderstanding and cruel people sent the love of his life running from him 3 years ago. When Willow returns to town for her cousins wedding, he vows to never let her go again and make those who wronged them pay for sending her away. Silas’s love and devotion to Willow are obvious right from the start. You can feel the love and heat leap from the pages. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

My my my… Silas King y’all… 😍👏🏽
This novella is the definition of “You can be the King but watch the Queen conquer.”
Silas will protect Willow from anyone (family or not), at any cost&I was HERE 👏🏽 FOR 👏🏽 IT👏🏽. Willow might have spent 3 years away from home but the second she sets foot on King turf… Silas plans on punishing his bunny for running. We love an over the top, possessive, mafia king (no pun intended).

It's a quick novella about a broken-up couple (well, she thought they broke up) and now, it's three years later. They meet again for a family's wedding and during this event, an elaborate plan for revenge will be enacted.

I have nothing to comment on other than it was fine story. I don't know why I keep picking up novellas, expecting something with depth and strong character development when it never was. It was pretty quick, very insta-lovey, it will give you whiplash.

Savage Kiss -ARC Review
Tropes:
Mafia
Possessive FMC & MMC
Obsessive Anti-hero
Second Chance
Revenge
Dominant Male with BDE

“I want it all, Willow. The good. The bad. You joy and sadness bunny…every inch of you is mine.”
Willow and Silas were torn apart based on a lie. Silas, being the obsessive and protective man that he is protected Willow, regardless of whether she knew it or not. The charge of electricity between Silas and Willow is palpable. The longing and the obsession was there for both of them. Willow is very pliable to every smooth dominant word that Silas whispers in her ear. He demands her submission between the sheets but with a twist of having her in control in acting out revenge on those who tore them apart. The spice in this was amazing and so incredibly well written.
Elena Reyes has a way of keeping the reader on the edge of their seat with anticipation. This novella is packed full is sexy scenes and plot
5/5

"My obsession doesn't blind me; it's simply a motivator. " Silas' obsession with Willow is clearly laid out in the opening scene of this short novella. His desire to keep her safe, protect her from the ugliness of the world, and make her his commands every action he takes, every decision he makes and every moment of his life. He will spare no one in his compulsion to have her be his.

Emotional Damage!!


“Because spilling blood to protect your family is an honor.”

From the first page I was hooked. If you are looking for dark romance, mafia, violence and lots and lots of spice. Than this is the one for you.

This book took me on a roller coaster of emotions. But I Couldn’t put it down because I needed to to know the Who. What. When. But especially the WHY!!!

I loved Silas and the way he loved Willow. That man was gone move heaven and earth to protect his girl. And Willow I loved her character. But fell in love with who she became at the end of the book. And the epilogue just brought everything full circle.

This author is new to me. But I definitely will read more of her work.

Savage Kiss was previously published in the Dark Obsessions Anthology that came out last year and is part of the Beautiful Sinner series.

Willow and Silas are separated from each other due to others' greed. Although Willow ran from the situation they put her in, she isn't a weak woman. She was young and they were able to manipulate her using her feelings for Silas.

Silas knows all this and while he is angry that Willow didn't trust in him, he loves her and has given her time to accomplish her dreams. The whole time he has watched over and protected her. Now it is time to make those who hurt her pay for what they have done. He is pretty dominant but Willow is good with that.

Well, honestly i feel like i was missing something most of the time. I've read a book here or there in the series but really should have read them all i think. I felt pretty lost. But i still appreciate it for what it was and how it was written. Very dark, violent, and sexual of course.

This was riveting! Kept me completely hooked throughout. Silas and Willow were put through it, but now is the time to put it to rights. And apparently, Silas does it best. And he’s going to show Willow where she truly belongs. Absolutely loved this!!! Must read everything in this series!!

Savage Kiss is a Beautiful Sinner Novella and I'm wondering how on earth I haven't read any of the other books? How could I?
This I must rectify and soon.

This book has a seriously sexy, possessive dominant alpha and I can tell you he will do everything for his Bunny. Swoons!

Silas has allowed his wife to live her dream elsewhere for 3 years but now it's time to come home even if she has a different opinion.

Willow practically ran 3 years ago but she is back for a wedding and knowing Silas will be there both excites and scares her.

This was very enjoyable to read.
At times thrilling in a hot and heavy way. Definitely not one to miss.🔥🥵

This is my first time dabbling in the mafia trope and I was not dissatisfied. The 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ was hot and rough. Silas is Daddy and is officially my new book bf🔥

"We do what we must, baby. Every king will step into the fire when called." This quote little gave me butterflies.

This is Willow and Silas' tale
This has all kinds of crimson-colored moments interspersed with some of the hottest of hades moments - these two are combustible together ❤️

Silas gave her space, he had his reasons, but the time for games is over.
He wants her back and he's never letting go again

She's all grown up and Ohhh how our girl shines ✨️
She's done playing the victim to twisted truths.
She's back where she belongs and she is dispensing vengeance like the goddess (or the queen) she was always meant to be

I got the chance to read Savage Kiss by Elena M Reyes before release day

Willow and Silas
Willow ran away from Silas 3 years ago. Now she is back for her cousin's wedding and thinks that it is just for a quick visit. What she doesn't know is that Silas knows why she left and for the past three years he has been getting things ready for her return. What made her leave and will she stay? Read to find out.


Favorite Quote: “Willow, If something doesn’t unhinge you just a smidge or doesn’t add spice to your life, it’s not worth doing. Embrace it, and never run away from it again because life doesn’t give you second chances often.”
