ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 3, 2023

He saw what I did. Now he owns me.

Brutal, formidably gorgeous, and head of a vicious Bratva organization.
They call Gavan Tsarenko the bastard king. I call him a tyrant.
But now, the man with the gun-metal gray eyes and scarred past has come to conquer me.
You see, I screwed up. I traded my good-girl status for a bad grad-school prank that went horribly wrong.
And now, for six months, I’m Gavan’s.
My enemy.
My monster.
My dark fantasy.
The savagely beautiful villain holds my debt and my fate in his hands.
And what does the man who can have anything want with me?
Everything.
But he’ll never take my heart.

REVIEW: TWISTED HEARTS is the fourth instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult DARK HEARTS dark, erotic, crime world romance series set in the author’s KINGS AND VILLAINS world. This is head of the Bratva organization Gavan Tsarenko, and Irish Mob heiress Eilish Kildare’s story line. TWISTED HEARTS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story. Eilish is the sister of the head of the Kildare Irish Mob Cillian Kildare.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Gavan and Eilish) TWISTED HEARTS follows in the aftermath of a college sorority hazing that set up our heroine to take the fall. Owing six months of her life to Gavan Tsarenko, Eilish finds herself caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place when Gavan reveals a secret Eilish has been keeping from her mob affiliated family but everything does not go according to plan when the Bratva High Council is at odds when an outsider wants a chance at the throne. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Gavan and Eilish, and the potential fall-out as our couple find themselves target by more than one unknown adversary.

The world building continues to focus on the fight for control. The Bratva Council, including the leaders of the seven most powerful families has been brought to the brink of war, and someone else may be pulling the strings but as Eilish struggles with her ‘payment’ to Gavan Tsarenko, she will discover that she may be payment for a debt, someone else owes.

The relationship between Eilish and Gavan begins tempestuously when Eilish finds herself as the mercy of our story line hero. Eilish took from Gavan what cannot be returned, and Gavan was determined to take everything from Eilish including her freedom and person autonomy. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, provocative and intense, and not without some scenes of questionable consent.

Once again, there Is a large ensemble cast of powerful, energetic and determined secondary and supporting characters many of whom we met in previous story lines. The requisite evil has many faces but not everyone is the monster they claim to be.

TWISTED HEARTS is another graphic story of violence, abuse, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, jealousy and greed, family and relationships, forgiveness, loss and love. The fast paced premise is dark, dramatic and intense; the romance dramatic and defiant; the characters are troubled, desperate and impassioned.

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.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 9, 2023

They think I’m afraid of them. But I’m only scared of how much I want them…
I’ve drifted through my life wanting more but never knowing what was missing—until three members of the Shadow Boys MC walked into my bar and changed everything.
Lance. Pike. Blaze. They’re all I can think about.
The attraction is electric, and not even seeing firsthand how dangerous they are can stifle the sparks that flare in me when I’m around them.
They don’t think there’s a place for me in their brutal world, but I refuse to back down until they see that I’m not too fragile to handle them and everything they stand for.
I don’t need to be protected, and I’m determined to prove it—but my need makes me reckless. I’ve set in motion something I can’t undo.
And it just might get us all killed.

REVIEW:TWISTED HEARTS is the third instalment in Savannah Rylan’s contemporary, adult TWISTED INTENTIONS erotic, reverse harem, romance series. This is Shadow Boys MC members Lance, Pike and Blaze, and bartender Dalia’s story line. TWISTED HEARTS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.

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

Told from four first person perspectives (Lance, Pike, Blaze and Dalia) TWISTED HEARTS follows in the wake of threats against the Shadow Boys MC territory by a rival MC, and the take down of a man suspected of working with the MC in question. Dalia is a bartender who is stiffed not once but twice by our story line heroes but Lance, Pike and Blaze are on the hunt for the MC encroaching on their territory, taking down one business at a time. When a suspicious stranger begins inquiring about Lance, Pike and Blaze, our heroes begin to suspect that their friendship with Dalia has now become a threat to our heroine, a threat that is about to implode for everyone concerned. As the attacks against the Shadow Boys MC become personal and deadly, Dalia is about to be caught in the cross-fire, when she is targeted by demons from her past. What ensues is the building relationship between Lance, Pike, Blaze and Dalia, and the potential fall-out as war between MCs threatens the lives of the everyone involved.

The relationship between Dalia and Lance, Pike and Blaze is a reverse harem relationship. This is not the first polyamorous relationship for Lance, Pike and Blaze but memories of what was, threaten to destroy what has yet to happen with our story line heroine. Each of Dalia’s lovers brings something different to the relationship including heart break and sorrow about memories from the past. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include Dalia’s co-workers, as well as several members of the Shadow Boys MC.

TWISTED HEARTS is a story of love and loss, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, obsession and madness, family and acceptance. The premise is impassioned and dramatic; the romance is steamy and seductive; the characters are desperate and determined.
