ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 23, 2024

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.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 9, 2024

She doesn’t belong to me.

I am the illegitimate son, unwanted and despised.

Ophelia Hart is the girl next door. I’ve watched her grow up. And rescued her countless times from my half-brother.

I’ve been gone from her life for two years and when I run into her again, she’s no longer a girl.

Only problem is, she’s wearing his ring on her finger.

But there’s always been something between us. I’ve always been her protector. Especially when it comes to him. And that pull is stronger than ever.

She no longer thinks me the hero of her story, though.

But I know something she doesn’t. A secret from her past. And she’s in danger.

She’ll fight me.

I’ll fight for her.

If she hates me for what I have to do, so be it.

Because there is no way in hell I will let my half-brother have her.

REVIEW: THE HEROES WE BREAK is the first instalment in Natasha Knight’s contemporary, adult HEROES AND VILLAINS dark, erotic, romance duet focusing on Ophelia ‘Phee’ Hart, and Silas Cruz.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers

Told from dual first person perspectives (Phee and Silas) using present day and memories from the past THE HEROES WE BREAK covers approximately ten years in the life of Phee and Silas. At twelve years of age, Ophelia Hart met her new neighbors Ethan Fox, and their housekeeper’s son Silas Cruz but from the outset all was not well between Ethan and Silas, and in the years to follow, the spiral would drive a wedge between everyone involved. Fast forward to present day, Ophelia’s world has crumbled; Ethan Fox stepped in and claimed control; and Silas vowed revenge against the people who tried to destroy his life, and take the reigns from our story line heroine. What ensues is the acrimonious relationship between Silas and Ethan, and the fall-out as Ophelia becomes a pawn in a much more dangerous game.

The world building covers approximately ten years in the life, ten years in which Ophelia becomes more of a doormat than a strong willed young woman; wherein Ethan is a puppet for someone else’s gain; and Silas is determined to take down the man whose secrets and lies have spiralled out of control.

The relationship between Ophelia and Silas is strained; is contemptuous at best in the face of the lies and control inflicted upon our story line heroine by someone else. Ophelia has lost everything: Silas is determined to give her everything and more. The lone $ex scene is fast and furious.

THE HEROES WE BREAK reveals some of the back ground, and sets up the take down of a dangerous man. Silas is no longer the boy whose life was controlled by the powers in charge, and as a man with secrets of his own, Silas is determined to reclaim the woman who has stolen his heart. The premise is dark, dramatic and intense; the characters are determined, desperate, dynamic and broken. THE HEROES WE BREAK ends on a cliff hanger-you have been told.
