What an amazing ride!! Cole is just dark, brooding, and so broken. I loved every page as I journeyed with him through the dark path. This is a MUST READ for all those who love an action packed, steamy read.
4.5 Dark Stars!
I love me some #TabooQueen, but this dark suspenseful romance was a nice treat.
No lie, I thought I had it figured out. I do not
I fell for Natalie, she was the perfect heroine. Victim turned victor. It was amazing seeing her develop and grow and conquer her demons.
Cole Hart, he had tats. That’s all you need to know to fall in love and want to lick him. He was covered in muscles and tattoos. He was still an interesting character. A great anti-hero. What I loved about him was his passion. You could feel that completely.
Their romance was definitely not normal. But guess what, it worked for them. As a reader seeing their struggles and their victories was amazing. You won’t be disappointed here.
Cole’s traumatic past and has left a stain.
A former navy seal with a dark and damaged history this trauma is now driving and compelling him to take woman that remind him of HER his former tormenter and Natalie is now number 6.
On the surface, she seemed just like the others but straight away Cole realises she is different and struggles to keep to the unusual and a lid on his crazy.
Natalie’s unique psychology calls to him she doesn’t react typically and her reactions bring out Cole’s sadistic side inviting it to play.
Still, despite his awful treatment of her she still craves him and wants him.
Cole is all sorts of damaged and wrong he deals with his demons by projecting his internal pain onto others.
He is battling all sorts of inner turmoil which has manifested in his insanity.
I actually felt equal amounts of revulsion and sympathy for Cole wanting to hate him but still unable to totally condemn him despite his behaviour.
Got to be a super-power this author has to make me feel this way.
So this book was by no means straight forward, there is a lot going on beneath the surface and it did manage to creep up on me taking me by surprise.
There was a lot more going on here than was initially apparent and as this started to unravel I was totally agog.
It’s also certainly not going to be for everyone and be aware it does have some dark triggers and a healthy dose of Stockholm.
Myself, I was transfixed and even when It was uncomfortable reading I still couldn’t put this down.
I really enjoyed this one a lot, it managed to capture my imagination and I can always rely on this author to deliver an intensive experience.
If you like your boundaries stretched this is a good one as it definitely pulls at them.
An intriguing and unique read that I highly recommend.

Highly Recommended you need to read this book.
This book is a page turner from start to finish, if your looking for a good Psychological thriller this book is it.
This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it, there are so many twists it will have your head spinning, Cold Cole Heart story is one you really do want to read, his and Natalie’s story is very powerful disturbing mind-blowing and strong, he thought he was doing what he did best when he met Natalie, but little did he know that his whole life would turn upside down, without going into detail and giving to much away you will love this book, have to say one I would read again and again, K Webster delivers every time and this book has it all.
I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads, so here is my review.
4.5 stars
This is two mind-numbing stories in one. The first is the story of Captain Cole Heart and what he went through. And the other is Natalie and the live she lives after her mothers death. This psychologically thriller will have you wondering how the author gets these blips in her mind to come up with these stories. But I for one am glad she does because she can take a story and have you glued to every word until the end.
Captain Heart and his brothers in arms were held captive and tortured until he was the last one left. And now he wants his captor to pay each time he kidnaps another woman that looks like “her”. When he takes woman number 5, she is different, so innocent but looks like the rest.
Natalie has been under her cousins control since her mothers death. All he wants is the money Natalie will receive when she turns 21. But Alan is abusive and controlling in all ways you can and can’t not imagine. When she is taken by Cole she doesn’t see a monster, she sees her savior.
Will Cole let Natalie save him? Can Natalie help Cole heal? Will Alan find her and make them both pay?
This story is not what you think and will draw you into the dark and twisted world of a cold cold twisted monster. Or does it? You will have to read it for yourself. And just like all K. Webster books, it is a dark read and if you are not a fan, then please don’t read this one, it is not for the faint hearted. But if you love a dark read, then sit back and enjoy. I loved Cole and Natalie, I hope you do too.
**Wicked Reads Review Team**
Dark. Twisted. F-cked up. Classic K Webster, and I LOVED every single minute of it. So straight up, this book doesn’t lend itself to my usual in-depth way of reviewing. I am going to be vague. I am going to be brief. I don’t want to give anything away. Just trust me when I say you should go into this one blind and hang on for a wild ride. And please do yourself a favor and read it until the END.
As I mentioned above, this is pretty much a classic K Webster book. Fantastic writing. Well paced. An engaging plot. Twists and turns. Mind f-ckery. Disturbing. Sexy. Kinky. Slightly tabooish. Bat sh!t crazy, but strangely still likable characters. Definitely not for the faint of heart or if you have any triggers. Last, it was all wrapped up in a very satisfactory ending. So yea, what are you waiting for? Run, don’t walk, and add this one to your reading list ASAP.
Dark. I live and breathe for a novel like that. The darker, the more twisted and sordid, the better. It’s what I crave. Yes I know, I know it’s not for everyone, but for me it’s always a HELL YES.
Cold Cole Heart was a book recommendation so I one clicked instantly.
Dark, twisted, sordid…..That’s what I thought I was going to get, but guys let me tell you this…..
This book not only was nothing short of dark, twisted and sordid, but it was also came with gut wrenching heartache and something that nightmares are made of.
This was more than I ever expected and my dark soul loved every single inch of it.
A psychological thriller that had me holding my breath the whole way through.
A dark romance that is disturbing on every level.
A powerfully written novel full of rawness, grit and sheer terror.
A love like no other.
Pure perfection.
Cold Cole Heart will go down as one of my favs for 2018.
Just perfect.
5 stars.
The dark queen is back! From the first page I was pulled into this book. It’s dark, gritty, twisting, thrilling and savage. K webster pulls you into the monster Hearts world and it’s heartbreaking and intense at the same time. Natalie’s world it’s just messed up and dark and very sad. But putting Heart and Natalie together is like a bomb waiting to happen. This book has you gasping out loud and just wanting more and more. Dark romance readers are gonna love this book as much as I have. 5/5 stars in top dark romance books of this year.
One thing for sure , while reading a K Webster story , nothing it’s what it seems; expect the unexpected. She writes unique character driven stories; where with empathy , research, talent and creativity , she explores life duality , mind desires , motivations and wants. And in Cold Cole Heart she has outdone herself.
Cold Cole Heart is Dark Psychological Romance Thriller that is engrossing , intellectually invigorating, raw , unconventional, passionate, highly entertaining and satisfying. And did I say hot AF ? Because , yep … IT IS !
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a dark , compelling and intriguing story that will keep you tethered to it while giving you chills (the good kind) up and down your spine. Cold Cole Heart is on my top 5 reads of the year.
Please, be aware that this story deals with sensitive topics and that might be triggers for some readers.
Deliciously dark and deviant this book satiated my need for a dark romance.
This is not your cookie-cutter romance. The characters are flawed, broken and skate the edge between sanity and insanity.
Their love is not traditional but it is theirs. This is the story of how a monster gets his happily ever after.
Twisted and page-turning, this story was all-consuming. Read in one sitting it was without a doubt engrossing.
K Webster takes a cold heart with not a whisper of flame and creates a conflagration.
Consuming and original as always, I cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next!
I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Listen, can we just give K Webster all the stars in the sky for her books? She deserves them all and then some. Nobody writes dark and twisty like she does and she always packs such an emotional punch, too. Cold Cole Heart is no different.
I was instantly smitten with Cole. Crazy, right? Twisted and messed up, Cole has a lot of darkness swirling inside him and just like our sweet Natalie, I wanted to devour it all. Bathe in it. That’s the thing about dark romance; once you find someone who is able to make your demons sing, you’ll do anything to keep the song going.
As dark as Cole is, Natalie’s strength comes from her light. She calls to Cole and keeps him tethered to her. Their love is captivating, consuming, and drenched in pain. It’s perfect.
I seriously couldn’t put this book down. I couldn’t read the words fast enough, needing to know more and more and more about Heart and Soul.
K Webster is just the best, y’all.
Cole Heart has a tortured past and relives the trauma each day. Vowing vengeance for his anguish and the pain of his brothers, Cole methodically exacts his plan and tries to escape his demons. In so doing, complications arise forcing Cole to confront the truth.
For the past few years, Natalie Dusana has lost control of her life and is counting down the days to her freedom. When her situation changes, Natalie realizes she needs to comply with the rules of a new monster.
Told in dual POV, the dynamic of this storyline opens with a premise based on revenge and as the plot unravels, it becomes clear that the connection with Cole and Natalie is fairly unique. When Natalie doesn’t seem to fit into the preconceived notion of what Cole expects, it changes how he approaches his end game. For Natalie, her past adds an interesting and unforeseen dimension to this theme.
“I’m every bit a player in this fucked up game as he is. He’s not figuring anything out. Neither of us is. We’re getting more and more lost in whatever it is that happens when we’re together.”
Cole is a character that has deep and serious issues to contend with. There were times when his actions didn’t align, but then as the plot builds, the reasons become clear. Though I would have liked to delve into Cole’s psyche a bit more. As for Natalie, she is just as broken as Cole and her ability to cope is admirable. Considering her situation, she also made me laugh at times when she puzzled Cole. Lastly, the sex definitely has elements of erotica and it steams the pages.
Cold Cole Heart is a story about two broken people who try to rebuild and leave the past behind. K. Webster crafts an interesting angle to the captive-captor theme.
Be still my heart and soul!
Holy cow. Where do I even begin?
This was so dark and crazy messed up. And somehow, I still absolutely loved every scary, tortured, insane moment.
This was my first K. Webster book, but after this one, I’ll be reading more. The writing was compelling and dragged you along at an alarming pace. I needed to know Cole and Natalie. To understand them. And how they fit together so perfectly despite their mutual craziness.
Definitely a darkly, delicious, psychological thriller with a large dose of steam and romance.
Spanish:
No me esperaba este libro para nada, ya que no leí la sinopsis y es muy diferente a los demás que leí. Esta novela contiene un romance oscuro, desviado, sucio y depravado, al principio me costo mucho entender que pasaba, pero luego me enganche porque necesitaba saber que iba a pasar porque todo se pintaba muy negro.
Hace diez años, el capitán Cole Heart y su equipo fueron capturados por la realeza egipcia. La mujer, Anta, y su hermano los mantuvieron como rehenes. En la actualidad, Cole sufre de trastorno de estrés postraumático severo. Él ve a Anta en todas partes, ella vive dentro de otras mujeres, y él se vengará de ella. Ella murió demasiado rápido por su mano; nunca llegó a torturarla, como ella lo hizo con él.
Natalie Dusana, una joven de veinte años, sufrió la perdida de su madre que era una actriz famosa y dejó a Natalie todo en su testamento, pero después de su asesinato, su tío acogió a Natalie. Cuando muere, su hijo adoptivo, Alan, el primo de Natalie, decide que quiere el dinero para él mismo, por lo que la mantiene prisionera. Ella se dice a sí misma que puede llegar a su cumpleaños, y luego tomará el dinero y correrá. Pero desafortunadamente para la pobre Natalie, es secuestrada por Cole.
Cole y Natalie son personajes fascinantes y tienen mucha profundidad y facetas, bien detallados y con hechos bien explícitos que explican muchas cosas. La relación entre ellos está muy lejos de lo que la sociedad considera normal, pero ellos luchan por ello. En cuanto a Cole, todas las cosas que le han pasado le han hecho vengarse pero cada página que pasa su comportamiento cambia hasta el hecho de protegerla contra todos. Natalie es valiente, se esfuerza por ser fuerte, pero sinceramente no tiene deseos de huir porque no le tiene miedo, ya que ha pasado por mucho y cosas muy duras. Ella ha incorporado en sí misma instintos de supervivencia que cegarán totalmente a Cole cuando estén juntos.

I didn’t expect this book at all cause I didn’t read the synopsis and it’s very different from the others I read. This novel contains a dark, deviant, dirty and depraved romance, at first it cost me a lot to understand what happened, but then I got hooked because I needed to know what was going to happen because everything was painted very black.
Ten years ago, Captain Cole Heart and his team were captured by Egyptian royalty. The woman, Anta, and her brother kept them hostage. Currently, Cole suffers a severe post-traumatic stress disorder. He sees Anta everywhere, she lives inside other women, and he will take revenge on her. She died too quickly by her hand; he never tortured her, as she did with him.
Natalie Dusana, a twenty-year-old girl, suffered the loss of her mother who was a famous actress and left Natalie all in her will, but after her murder, her uncle welcomed Natalie. When he dies, his adopted son, Alan, Natalie’s cousin, decides he wants the money for himself, so he keeps her prisoner. She tells herself that she can get to her birthday, and then she will take the money and run. But unfortunately for poor Natalie, she is kidnapped by Cole.
Cole and Natalie are fascinating characters and have a lot of depth and facets, well detailed and with very explicit facts that explain many things. The relationship between them is far from what society considers normal, but they fight for it. As for Cole, all the things that have happened have made him revenge but every page that passes his behavior changes until the fact of protecting her against everyone. Natalie is brave, she tries hard to be strong, but sincerely she has no desire to flee because she is not afraid of it, cause she has gone through a lot and very hard things. She has instilled in herself survival instincts that will completely blind Cole when they are together.

Again….K Webster has amazed me with her books!! Cold Cole Heart was fabulous. I read this book straight thru from beginning to end! Cole will surprise you when you least expect it and that certainly made this a 5 star read for me. You will hate him…but you will love him in the end!
Captain Cole Heart returned from a six-man SEAL operation alone and a severely broken man. Suffering from severe PTSD, Cole is angry and needs revenge on Anta, an evil woman who has tortured them for months. Anta died too quickly by his hand I showed her the mercy she never showed me. A quick death. and like she did to him and his mates, he never got to torture her.
He sees her in the spoiled rich bitches around him and takes his revenge on them
Stalking and kidnapping 21-year old Natalie Dusana, Cole is baffled by the difference from her to the others. The rich bitches usually are screaming and ordering me to take them back with their snotty noses in the air.
Nathalie is the daughter of a rich & famous actress and had a wonderful and beautiful life. At the age of 17 her mother is murdered and Nathalie is shipped off to her mother’s family. Locked up, starved, regularly raped & beaten, Nathalie lives her life of domestic slavery in cruelty and hate.
The story of Cole & Nathalie is a fucked-up one but a real page turner with consists mind blowing twists and turns.
It’s amazing to watch Nathalie taking control of her life and exposing her tormentor’s real colours.
While this book is labelled “dark” I did not experience it to be that dark, mind you there were some really cringe worthy scenes!
This outstanding Webster original is one I highly recommend!
This book is a beautifully written tale about two broken people who heal each other. There is some sexual violence in this story, but the story behind it is so beautiful and touching. I was completely captivated by Cole and Natalie’s story. The way they healed each other was so touching. This is an absolutely incredible book.
Wow!!!
This story took me a bit out of my comfort zone, it was soo dark! Yet it was exciting to keep reading. I love the main characters Cole & Natalie.
I love K Webster. That is no secret. But Cold Cole Heart nearly did me in. I went in knowing it was dark, but it went further than I expected.
It’s dark, twisted, painful to read at times. And yet there is always a glimmer of hope. I don’t want to spoil anything for you. I think it is best read blind; not knowing how it would end was what kept me addicted to the story.
Well done, K Webster. I’m still shocked by how invested I was in these characters; how much I wanted a happy ending. Well done.
Cold Cole Heart by K Webster was a one click for me and this one was intriguing. I like most of Webster’s stories and most all have a dark element or taboo but this one really stood out.
I loved all the psychologically elements and just all around darkness.
Super fast read but I had to slow down and enjoy.
Loved this one!
Texas Hugs and Happy Reading!
