ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 2, 2023

I’m caught in the psychopath’s web.
Cold, heartless, and as dangerous as he is beautiful. Deimos Drakos is Greek mafia royalty and my worst nightmare. A chameleon hiding a true monster in plain sight.
No one sees the villain behind those dark, lethally gorgeouse yes.
No one but me.
You see, I know his worst secrets. But he knows my darkest fantasies. And he’ll use them to trap me.
To toy with me.
To own me.
We’re blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. Except true psychopaths like him have no lines.
No limits. No mercy.
Deimos is a devil who once told me to run and never look back.
I should have listened.
Because now he’s going to chase me. He’s going to catch me, and flay open every dark part of me.
But he’ll never capture my heart.

REVIEW: RECKLESS HEARTS is the sixth instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult DARK HEARTS dark, erotic, romance series. This is twenty-five year old Dahlia Roy, and Greek Mafia royalty Deimos Drakos’ story line. RECKLESS HEARTS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Dahlia and Deimos) using present day and memories from the past, RECKLESS HEARTS follows the acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Six years earlier, while attending Knightsblood University, Dahlia Roy’s life would spiral out of control. Bullied by the student body for who she was, and her family’s reputation, Dahlia thought she finally found someone for love and support but the darkness continued to follow; death and destruction, secrets and lies would push our heroine to run for her life, run from the man with whom she would eventually fall in love. As Dahlia begins her life anew, the past would return, taking control, threatening the woman she had become. What ensues is the building but questionable relationship between Deimos and Dahlia, and the potential fall-out as the ultimate betrayal threatens the life of our story line heroine,

The world building focuses on Deimos’ need to take control. Six years earlier he pushed our heroine out of his life and off campus, with threats never to return but a birthday party for Deimos’ sister Callie, would bring our couple face to face, ensuring Dahlia no longer had control of her life. With a forced indentured servitude, Dahlia becomes Deimos’ lone employee and slave in an effort to protect the people she loves.

The relationship between Dahlia and Deimos is one of power and control. Dahlia’s and her mother are about to lose everything, and quite possibly their lives, therefore Deimos is determined to take by force and coercion in an effort to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love. Their backstories are dark, heart breaking and distressing. The $ex scenes are erotic, provocative and not without some concerns of questionable consent.

The secondary and supporting characters are interesting and sometimes questionable. We are introduced to Dahlia’s mother Adele Roy; her step father Gerard Dumouochel, and step-brother Raphael; fellow students Victoria, Chase Cavendish Brad Hathaway, Spencer Campbell, as well as the return of Deimos’ siblings Ares, Hades, Callie and Castle, and their all-seeing grandmother Ya-ya. The requisite evil has many faces and

RECKLESS HEARTS is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, hatred and obsession, fear and anxiety, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic and edgy but I guessed the guilty party(s) within minutes of introduction; the forced proximity romance is tragic and fated; the characters are sensational and destructive.

Once again, take note of the trigger warnings

A reader first and foremost, Jagger Cole cut his romance writing teeth penning various fan-fiction stories years ago. After deciding to hang up his writing boots, Jagger worked in advertising pretending to be Don Draper. It worked enough to convince a woman way out of his league to marry him, though, which is a total win.

Now, Dad to two little princesses and King to a Queen, Jagger is thrilled to be back at the keyboard.

When not writing or reading romance books, he can be found woodworking, enjoying good whiskey, and grilling outside–rain or shine.
