Twisted Devotion by Lilith Vincent | Beautifully Toxic

 



Title: Twisted Devotion
Author: Lilith Vincent
Genre: Dark Romance
Rating: 5 ⭐️
Book Links: Goodreads | Amazon


My initial thoughts:


Some love stories make you swoon. Others make you question everything. Twisted Devotion lives somewhere in the middle, and I couldn't look away.

The Vibe:
Dark Mafia Romance, Unhinged MMC, secret baby

My Review:

Cristiano Montoni… whew. This man is the definition of beautifully broken.

After everything he endured as a child, it’s no surprise that his love comes out as obsession. He’s a tad more than a little unhinged. But underneath all of that is someone who’s been holding onto the same girl for years, never once letting her go.

Mina did the only thing she knew how to do… she ran. Yet even after all those years apart, neither of them truly moved on. The moment they’re thrown back into each other’s lives, all those buried emotions come crashing back, and from there this story never lets up.

This isn’t a light mafia romance. It’s dark, emotional, and filled with years of trauma and secrets. Their relationship constantly had me questioning whether what they shared was healing or destroying them… in the end, it was both.

“I would rather feel every cut of the knife while I hold your hand than sleep while you suffer alone.”

This perfectly sums up the kind of man Cristiano is. His love isn’t gentle or healthy by any means. But he would carry every ounce of pain himself if it meant protecting the woman he loves.

This is the third book in the Ruthless Arrangements series, and even though I haven’t read the first two books, this one completely stood on its own. I can’t wait to see what Ms. Vincent has in store next… but in the meantime, I’ve got some catching up to do. 🤭

I received this arc from the author in exchange for my honest review


Synopsis:

He’s waited five years to come home to her. She’s spent five years praying he never would.

Cristiano Montoni would crawl over broken glass for one touch, one kiss, one sweet word from me. He has the face of an avenging angel and a body to die for. Powerful. Rich. Dangerous. Deadly.

And heaven protect me, he’s back in Malus.

Five years ago, Cristiano worked his dark magic on me and ruined my life. Five years ago, I fell pregnant with his child. Then he vanished—and I was free.

I gave myself to a man I knew was twisted and terrifying. As the housekeeper’s daughter, I witnessed Cristiano’s brutal punishments at the hands of his father. I tried to put the pieces back together, but Agnello Montoni broke his son. Shattered his heart. Warped his mind.

Now I’m terrified that Cristiano will do the same to his son.

My son.

Our child.

I’ll protect Leon with my life. Cristiano can never know the child is his, or my son will be dragged into a violent underworld from which there’s no escape.

But Cristiano won’t stay away from me. Five years have passed, and he hasn’t changed. He’s still a monster of his father’s making. And I’ve never stopped wanting him.
