The Santiago Trilogy (3 Book Series) by Catherine Wiltcher
Review by Leah Ok, I am gonna start with this. I am a southern momma with two teenage boys, a husband, and a daughter, and one major rule in our house is to NOT BURN THE BACON!! AND I BURNED THE BACON tonight! Seriously, people, I burnt a large pack of bacon. I could not put down this book. I swear only five maybe six minutes passed while I was reading (actually maybe 20). With that being said, Holy Hot Sticks, I am freaking IN LOVE!! This is dirty, dark and I mean dark, series. This is not your sweet, passionate love story. This is raw, deep down in your soul passion and then add the organized crime element and it makes this one of the best series I have read. It is not a quick, little or easy weekend read. The Santiago Series by Catherine Wiltcher will consume your life until it is done with you. But when you hit that last page, you are lost because you don’t know what to do next. Where is Dante? What am I supposed to do now? Can I just go back to his island? Joseph? Anyone? Bueller??? Dante Santiago is freaking vicious but dangit, he is hot as Hades. That man is the epitome of an organized crime king. The devil himself. But even the devil has a heart, right? Ok, it just hit me. Dante and Eve = the devil and the first woman. Brillant! Oh, and Eve gives as good and she gets. She is a sharp-tongued woman who does not take anything from anyone. She walks, well rather is kidnapped and forced into Dante’s world but she comes out of it his Queen. One scene you will read will make you holler to put a crown on that woman’s head. She just brought the devil to his knees! Just go ahead and give it to her. Read book three and you will know what I am talking about. HOT! I normally don’t share quotes from books I have read but I have to share this one. This one is it for me. I will always keep this one written down. “Find me in the darkness”, I gasp, breaking for breath. “Find my light and let me guide you.” He looks at me as if I’ve said the strangest thing, like I’ve opened up his chest and exposed his most private inner thoughts. “Love me and never stop,” For the first time in my life, I have swooned. I don’t know whether to melt in a pile of goo or cry. I received all three of the Santiago series at once so I dived right in thinking it would be an easy weekend read. Well nope. I am speechless. The first chapter starts out running and does not stop. There is not a lull anywhere in these books so there is no skimming, anywhere. Please do not tell me there are no more books to this series. I need to know more. Joseph and Anna. Dig more into Eve’s family. Uh, the path Joseph and Dante are talking about taking?? I am freaking addicted, any book that Catherine Wiltcher writes will be in my library the second I get this posted. ***ARC received in exchange for an honest review.***
