Adrien’s the only man she’s spoken to, much less connected to, in months. The only one who seems to care enough to notice her through the walls she’s built.But learning how to trust again, especially with … trust again, especially with a man she’s barely spoken to, is a battle.
Falling in love with him, a war.
Because Adrien also holds a dark, terrible secret–one that could destroy every hard-fought step Lilith has taken since that night.
And though kindred spirits may drift towards one another, there’s no telling how explosive this truth may be.

For a short book this was a full story. It is dark and there are triggers for some. Going into the story Lilith has been violated by a man that has broken into her home he leaves that night saying he would come back for her.
This event changes her and not until anchance meeting with Adrien which repeats does she interact with others. When he offers her a job to be able to have a relationship with her you see that he is damaged as well. As their relationship develops will these two be able to find completion in each other. The ending was eye opening. Dark and twisted !
Lilith is a carefree young girl one night something happens that changes her whole world. Six months later she’s a different girl she’s on a bus she meets a guy named Adrian he’s a ceo and he leaves his phone so when she goes to return it and he offers her a job. Will she be able to trust this new guy and put the past in the past.
I have mixed feelings. I love Lillith and love/hate Adrian. You fall in love with him and he shattered you towards the end, because you think, maybe I was wrong about what I thought. It’s dark, twisted, and steamy. I love Crimson Syn, I haven’t found something I haven’t liked. I like this because it is different. I have read dark and twisted before, but this is different. Favorite phrase: ” When you truly love someone you realize their flaws are what makes them who they are. When you really love someone, you see the beauty in their broken shadow.”
Jesse and quinn besties since they were kids, find they can be best friends and lovers. This story had so many twists i did not see coming. Love this series.

This is a dark and shocking twisted romance. It is filled with secrets, lies, and manipulation. A fast pace read that is guaranteed to draw you in from page one. The characters are broken and their unusual connection will have you rooting for them and questioning the circumstances surrounding their relationship at the same time. It is a well written interesting read and is strongly recommended.

Dark twisted psychological romance
Wow Crimson Syn’s latest release is a roller coaster ride on a moonless night! I will leave you to decide if you like the “hero” after reading the book! I do recommend this book but please pay attention to other reviews and the author’s own caveats about the darkness of the storyline. Adrien, the “hero”, is a self-proclaimed a$$hole but I think Lilith might have explained him best when she said, (and I am para-phrasing from Crimson’s book) narrowing her eyes at him, ”Arrogant and a damn mofo!” Lilith is a bit of a lost soul. She is looking for love in all the wrong places! Until a traumatic event takes place in her life and she withdraws from all friends and family. Enter Adrien into her life and so begins the twisted romance between these two. I appreciated Crimson’s attention to detail in the storyline and her characters. The book is a page-turner. I couldn’t put it down. There are some very intense salacious scenes in this book. There is a rape scene. Be warned. But again I do recommend the book.
This was an interesting dark romance. I really enjoyed reading it and seeing how would end. I could not put the book down.

This dark read was a real page turner with the great character and plot development which kept me so engrossed in this story that I ended up reading this book in one sitting!
Short, sexy , and oh so sexy. Lilith is hiding. In one night her world is turned upside down and she feels her life is ruined. Adrian in one moment the sight of Lilith turns his world. Can they save each other.
Heed the warning. This book is a dark romance and the darkness starts off right at the beginning. As the story progresses you see Lilith and Adrian find each other but not without many obstacles. Throughout the whole story I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. When the twist did come I it had me gasping and thinking I was oh so wrong. But wait Ms. Syn drops another twist that was has you saying WTH!!!!
Great steamy, suspense, dark fast paced read.
This is not your typical romance. It is dark and twisted and filled with secrets, lies, and obsession. The storyline is fast paced and not for the faint of heart as some scenes may contain triggers for some. Adrien and Lilith’s unusual connection will have you second guessing yourself until the very end.

This is the first book I have read from Crimson. Sounded like a very interesting book. Interesting is not the word to use to describe this book. Intense mind blowing twists and turns. The ending hold on because it will blow your mind. This storyline was gripping from the very first paragraph to the very last paragraph. I couldn’t put this one down. There was a tigger for me reading this but once I got passed that I fell in love with this story line. She goes through something that changes her life in one night. She tries so hard to deal with what happened but it isn’t as easy as you think. Adrian awakes something in her that she had been hiding since that night. Adrian needs her needs her light her sunshine. She gives him back life. But is it enough ? Again the ending I was shocked speechless. This was so well written. Gripping enjoyable. Crimson gained a fan.Highly recommend reading this one.
This is a well written , dark read with strong characters and an intriguing story line. It’s a quick read but packs a punch with all the suspense,twists and turns and deep emotions. It’s a gripping story with tons of passion and had me on the edge throughout. Well done!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Wow, Devious Heart blew me away! The story is dark and most certainly twisted. Lilth was a carefree young woman until the unthinkable happens. She meets Adrian and things starts to turn around for her. Unbeknownst to Lilth, Adrian has a dark obsession. The story is fast pace and the characters are intriguing. This is my first book by Crimson Syn, I look forward to reading more of her books.
Review copy was received for a honest opinion.
Lilith meets Adrien and realizes she’s attracted to him. She doesn’t want to be, due to an incident from her past. He draws her in,makes her confident, with a twist of an ending.

Loved this dark twisted tale.
The only thing to say about this book is YOU NEED TO READ IT!!! This is a perfectly devious story and I loved every minute of it. It draws you in and keeps you guessing and the characters are phenomenal. Adrien is sexy, devious and makes no apologies for his crude personality. When he sees Lilith he sees a woman who is hiding herself away and he wants to know why. Grab this heart pounding dark twisted romance and find out what happens when these two come together. It’s an awesome story and I highly recommend it.

This book was crazy good!
Lilith has gone through something, and it changed the course of her life forever. That’s how things happen in life, and I sympathize with her.
Adrien is a powerful man who always gets what he wants. No matter what. He is arrogant, straight forward, and so sexy. But he has a dark side to him that Lilith can’t help but ask, is it worth it?
The book is good, but also had its points where I questioned it. It was written in a way that you can’t help but get sucked into it without a care in the world. And the ending…Wow! I just couldn’t believe it.
