Book Review: Unholy Cross (Deadly and Ruthless #1) by Beth D. Carter

 

Blurb

Aera Cross is a man forged by hardship. His childhood, marred by pain and abuse, has left him with scars that run deeper than the skin. Survival has been his only mantra, that he’s learned to navigate with a hardened heart. But when a desperate father approaches him with a plea to rescue his ‘daughter’ from the clutches of a sadistic doctor, Cross finds himself at a crossroads.

The photo of Lorelei, a girl with an ethereal beauty, ignites something within him—a flicker of hope amidst the darkness. Lorelei possesses a gift that is both a blessing and a curse. But this extraordinary ability has made her a target, sold to the highest bidder and forced to perform for those who seek to exploit her. Each transaction chips away at her soul, leaving her a mere shadow of the girl she once was.

On the night of her daring escape, Lorelei stumbles into Cross’s world. Though she is wary of this rugged stranger, she has no choice but to trust him. Together, they embark on a perilous journey, where danger lurks at every corner and the lines between savior and sinner blur.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

I enjoyed this story. It was full of grit, steam, love, and danger. Lorelei was special and treated without regard, with violence. Cross was paying penance for all his misdeeds in the past, including the loss of his position within his MC. Their journey together was full of danger, threats, pain, pleasure, and love. Lorelei had heart, courage, defiance, and trust in the right people. Cross had to trust family in order to help himself and Lorelei. I look forward to more in this series.

I received a copy through RABT Book Tours, and this is my unsolicited review.
