Deadline to Damnation (Sons of Templar Book 7)

I’m seriously at a loss for words and just have no idea what to say in this review. Nothing I can say will even hit on a fraction of what I just read. My mind is reeling. I know that everytime I read Anne Malcom’s books that the writing is extremely exquisite… perfection. I’m always left feeling complete and my heart is so full, but yet, my heart feels so sad. It’s kind of similar to melancholy and I really don’t understand it besides the fact that Anne Malcom’s novel is over.

I feel like Deadline to Damnation was even more than all the other books in this series… more destruction, more lies, more secrets, more blood, more of our previous characters that we know and love, and more sex or perhaps it felt like more because the emotions were just so much… more!!! I felt like we get a deeper sense of this story… I had an odd feeling through most of the book… like my heart was stuck in my thoat. I just felt so much through Anne Malcom’s words. She really writes/creates some amazing characters. Caroline and Jagger are extremely flawed and pretty messed up but isn’t that life now-a-days? There’s so much bad… so much pain in life that I just really appreciate Miss Malcom’s honest approach, brutally honest or not, it feels real and I appreciate that it isn’t perfect.

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.

Caroline is a journalist that has decided the way to a story is to infiltrate the Sons of Templar MC. While she saw some of what she expected, what she did not expect was to discover that one of the brothers; Jagger, is actually Liam, her long thought dead fiancé. Supposed to be killed in action while on tour in Afghanistan, Caroline and Liam’s family had “buried” him 14 years earlier, and her life was never the same again. She became a war correspondent, becoming a household name when it came to reporting on the wars taking place in the middle east. They were nothing though compared with the wars she faces when the club discover who she is, who she is to Liam and the literal war that is heading for the club. A place she’s now not allowed to leave thanks to her betrayal.

This was such a good story. The reunion, the club issues, the flashbacks, all of it was just fantastic and really dragged me in. I hope there will be more to come because yet again Anne Malcom gave us a 5 star read. One point I will make is that Anne has a spin off series called the Greenstone Security series and I think the enemy in this was established in one of those, so maybe give those a read too. I didn’t and while it didn’t ruin anything for me, I think I might have gotten the full effect of what is going on better if I had that background story.

*A TOP READ OF 2019*
*MUST READ*
*FOREVER FAVORITE*

THIS. BOOK. Y’ALL.

This author never ceases to amaze me with her words. I tend to say that with every book she’s written is her best… the reason for that is because it’s absolutely true. The writing in this story is phenomenal. This is definitely storytelling at it’s finest.

This story will rip you apart and put you right back together. I yelled, I cried, I gasped in shock, my heart broke…

I could honestly ramble about this story all day, but I refuse to spoil anything. What I will say is that you NEED this book. You need it in your life. This is a must read. I HIGHLY recommend it.

5 Peaches Stars on Goodreads

Deadline to Damnation is the seventh instalment in the Sons of Templar Series and is a very dark story full of love, loss, and second chances. This series has just grown and grown with each book released and I for one love it.

Liam and Caroline’s story is not easy to read. Jagger is a character that has always intrigued me and I so badly wanted to know his story. In Deadline to Damnation we find out his past and how he has become the man he is today. Caroline is set to get her story no matter what she has to do or how much she puts herself in danger. The story always comes first until she meets Liam.. Again.

“The truth was a bully we all pretended to like.”

This is such a dark, raw, twisted and so very emotional book. My heart was in my mouth for the last 50% of this book. I highly recommend reading it, you won’t be disappointed.

5+ BEAUTIFUL ADDICTING STARS!! This book will be in my top 10 for 2019. What beautiful heartbreaking story that touched all of my heart. Jagger and Caroline’s story was truly one of the best books I have read this year. Anne Malcom has written herself into my top 3 authors ever….Her words are like a drug, I can never get enough. You must 1-Click this book, so do it now.

You know those books, the ones you can’t put down because you want to finish the book, NEED to finish the book, but you put it down to prolong the inevitable because you don’t want to be finished with the book. THIS is one of those books.
The feeling of dread is thick from the minute you read the first page. Sure it may have something to do with it being a SOT story, because it’s what we’ve come to know, and love from our guys and their women, but it’s more than that. Deeper than that. My first thought was that Jagger and Caroline were broken, but that’s not true. If one is broken, that means that they can be mended, fixed. There’s no such thing with these two. The more I read, the more I felt, believed they’re not broken, they’re damned. The things they’ve endured, unimaginable. Yet, they continue putting one foot in front of the other, until they come face to face. That’s where the real story starts, the past comes rushing back just to hit them with a punch that would have knocked out most others, but not these two. Their road is anything but smooth, but it’s theirs and they’re travelling it. Along the way, we revisit some old friends. This series truly is like visiting with old friends, no matter how long it’s been since the last time.

So there is so much going on in this book. This series has been building up to something really big and we finally get it, but it may tear the MC apart. So much is going on in this book there is love, loss, heartache, redemption, war, pain, suffering and a happy ending that Caroline and Liam/Jagger deserve.

Years ago both Caroline and Liam thought they had their lives all figured out, marriage and kids, until tragedies struck them both, which changed and defined their current lives.

Caroline built her life around always seeking the truth, being a journalist it would bring her to dangerous places where ugly is all there is. After promising her sister that she would no longer be putting her life in dangerous situations she sets her sights on the Sons of Templer MC, having no idea that the moment she walks into their compound she would be in more danger than she ever was in war torn countries.

Jagger found the Sons when he was at his lowest after losing everything he held dear. He was willing to do whatever was needed to because he had nothing to loose and keeping his brothers safe was all that mattered. Then one night in a dark alley with bold on his hands everything changed and he was faced with his past heartache.

Both Jagger and Caroline are strong, damaged and fearless people that go through so much to get to where they are able to move on from the past of heartache, betrayal and pain.

I can’t recommend this book enough! We get to go on a hell of an emotional roller coaster with the two main characters that is just phenomenal, we get to see some of the previous characters from other books and we are also introduced to some new character’s. I was hooked from the beginning to the end, I couldn’t get enough, but once I finished I WANTED more!

While I might be vigorously sleep deprived, my heart is so full. Sleep, food, and air are basically irrelevant when it comes to satiating my body with the words of this book. Deadline to Damnation by Anne Malcom is the seventh book of the Sons of Templar series. And if you have been an avid supporter of this series, you will understand the significance and importance of this novel. And while each novel of the series can be read as standalones, I strongly suggest reading the previous installments before this one, to really feel the powerful effect this book emits.

An awe-inspiring novel that is about so much more than an MC romance. It’s about brotherhood, family, tragedy, secrets, second chances, forgiveness and love. It’s a book that encompasses everything and I think it’s that’s what makes it such a unique book. By far the best book I’ve read this year because I have never felt this way about a book before. It’s mysterious, strange and, at one point, worrying. I started reading this book after a restless evening and didn’t put it down until 8 am the next morning. It’s so good. I am filled with so much gratitude, so much pain, and love, that I revel in this feeling. I may not have known it at the time but this was something I didn’t know I needed.

I can’t tell you how much I cried during this book. Not only because the angst in this book is excruciating but I cried at the sweet moments as well. In a world dominated by violence, anger, and monsters; it’s so rare to see ‘sweet’ and my heart couldn’t take it. They are always judged so harshly for the loud bikes they ride, the tattoos on their skin and the blood on their hands. But the thing about Malcom’s anti-heroes is the softness in their eyes when they’re with their women, the protective instinct that rivals cavemen and the ability to be loved and give love so raw and real, one is unable to remain unaffected.

I went in blind. The only thing I knew was that it was Jagger’s story. And what a beautifully tragic story it was. I have always been intrigued by Jagger and discovering how he got to be the way he was, blew my mind. I won’t say much because I refuse to spoil the experience for you, but his story was huge! It totally wrecked me, there was so much hate, regret & pain. What do you do when your past comes back to haunt you, but it comes back a completely different person? When your past was the reason why you’re so broken in the first place? How do you even face them? Or even think about the approach to forgiveness? It’s such rollercoaster ride but I devoured every single word like the addict I am. I’m pretty sure I’ve highlighted the entire book too.

And I can’t even begin to tell you how strong the heroine is, as are all of Malcom’s heroines. She is fierce, calm and collected in the face of death, so sassy, strong-willed and filled with so much pain. She is an independent woman that I want to be when I grow up (sidenote: the female empowerment in this book is freaking awesome). My absolute favourite part was getting to see all the characters from the previous books again, getting to delve back into their heads and experience their love stories all over again. Omg, I died! My favourite book of the series and one I’ll never forget. I can’t wait until everyone gets to experience what I’m talking about for themselves. Bravo Anne Malcom! You have come so far and deserve all the blessings life has to offer.

A truly amazing story from start to finish! Be prepared though it will touch you!!! Highly recommended!!!

I have to say that this one is the best one yet in the series. These books just keep getting better sms better. You won’t be disappointed in this one.
