You can’t marry him if you’re already married to me.

That was how Silas Cruz proposed to me—more like demanded, really. He didn’t exactly give me a choice.

He’s dark, jealous and incredibly possessive.

And he’s just one of the villains in my story.

I used to think he was my hero.

Still, there’s one thing I know for sure. Whenever I need him, whenever I’m in danger, he comes for me. He’s proven that time and time again.

Now, the game has changed, the stakes life and death.

But loving Silas may be the most dangerous thing for me. Because he’s the man who holds my heart in the palm of his hand.

REVIEW:THE VILLAINS WE MAKE is the second instalment in Natasha Knight’s contemporary, adult HEROES AND VILLAINS dark, erotic, romance duet focusing on Ophelia ‘Phee’ Hart, and Silas Cruz. THE VILLAINS WE MAKE can not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one THE HEROES WE BREAK.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. If you have not read book one, there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Phee and Silas) using present day and memories from the past THE VILLAINS WE MAKE follows in the wake of a series of surprise reveals, and the attempted abduction of our story line heroine. Years earlier, Ophelia grew up alongside Ethan Fox, and Silas Cruz but years of abuse and rejection at the hands of his father pushed Silas to seek out a new direction. Upon his return he discovered the woman he loved engaged to someone else, someone who was taking aim at our story line hero but beneath the surface, the secrets were dark and dangerous, and Ophelia was about to pay the price for the sins of someone else.What ensues is rebuilding relationship between Ophelia and Silas, as greed and madness threaten our story line couple.

The world building follows several pathways including the lies and secrets that surround our heroine’s life. Everything she once thought was the truth, the who and the how, are now something and something else, and in this, Ophelia Hart struggles to believe or trust the man who has always held her heart.

The relationship between Phee and Silas began as childhood friends but Silas’ life was never easy. His father’s rejections, his brother’s contempt, where but the proverbial tip of the iceberg but his need for vengeance, and his love for Ophelia Hart were the things that kept him alive. Reconnecting with Ophelia, and professing his love, would once again, place our couple in the direct line of fire. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and dynamic, controversial and questionable. We are up close and personal with family and friends, and family members that consider themselves more worthy than others.

THE VILLAINS WE MAKE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, greed and jealousy, family and friendships, forgiveness and love . The premise is raw, dark and dramatic; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are broken, desperate, and charismatic.

USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance, Natasha Knight specializes in dark, tortured heroes. Happily-Ever-Afters are guaranteed, but she likes to put her characters through hell to get them there. She’s evil like that.
