OMG!!! The excitement continues!! Love has to prevail!! It just has to!!
This book picks up where book 1 left off. And holy moly, does Sienna know how to keep you in the ledge!
Will they throw caution to the wind and give in to their ever increasing attraction? Or will they be sensible and stay away from each other?
I can’t say much because it will give it away. But READ THIS SERIES!! I am so anxious for book 3. I’m so curious how it ends! And I can only pray it’s not like the true Romeo and Juliette.
Wow, what is there to say about this book. Wow. wow. wow. wow. Well actually that is my whole theme for this series, I was so wow. I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect anything in this story. I was in so much awe of this book, and again the writing was fantastic and well written.
I loved the whiplash between Roman and Julianna, how they would go back and forth, it just showed how much they were conflicted about what they should be doing compared to what they want to do. I loved how confusing it was for them because it showed to us that the characters were confused because at times I was confused by how they were feeling and the whiplash of back and forth.
Roman really didn’t think he was good enough to love and when it was finally shown, I was like no babe you are. You could tell that he really felt like that and it showed in some of his actions. Although when he could he really did still try and protective Julianna and push her away and let himself have a little bit of solace when he enjoys being with her. I loved the way Julianna and Roman are with each other and they each try and protect each other! It’s so adorable and cute.
I don’t like Julianna’s partner. I thought that in book 1 as well and even worse in this book.
It so hard not to write too many spoilery things, you guys should honestly go and read this trilogy it is amazing.

Picking up right where we left off in Love Sprung from Hate (Dark Romeo, #1), Roman and Julianna have no one on their side but themselves. But the love they have for each other makes them grow stronger!
In this story, the tangled web gets woven tighter… There is no one who you can truly trust. Whether it be family, co-workers, friends, strangers… It seems like everyone is pitted against Roman and Julianna becoming a couple.
Julianna being a newbie detective wants to close her first case. In the interrogation room, SPARKS fly and a very hot round of questioning takes place. But how much longer can Julianna keep lying to the ones she loves for the one she truly loves. When will the walls come crashing down from her covering every step she takes.
Roman is truly a Tyrell—a bloodthirsty monster. This is what he keeps telling himself to save the one he could not. Will he be able to take over the family business and then take it all down for the one who has made him feel the love he truly deserves?

What if…If only…The answers were ones that we didn’t want to face.
Ain’t that the truth **sigh** . Man Proposes and God Disposes. In this case it’s not the Gods above but the Powers on this earth , that are on opposite sides , are against the lovers – Roman and Julianna.
Are they fated the same tragic end as the iconic , literary lovers?. I’d hate to see it that way, but the way the story is going, hope is diminishing fast . Their lives are like railroad tracks, running together . Parallel yet no point of confluence.
**sigh**
There is a hopeless thing called Love and from Romeo & Juliet to Roman & Juliana, ages have passed, worlds have changed, yet the driving force that makes the world go round has remained endlessly tragic at most times.
The story is full of tussle between wants and needs. Roman & Juliana NEED to stay far, far away from each other, yet they WANT to stay just a breath away.
Some mistakes I needed to make by myself.
Some things I need to take care of myself.
Some things I need to decide for myself.”
I was so enamoured by the narrative, it flows so smoothly . The emotions are just bubbling beneath the surface and tbh, I shed a tear or two in 3 places , at least. These emotions sometimes got the best of them, when the cruel fate gives them a whiplash and they get torn apart. The stark reality of both their backgrounds is a chasm in their Ill fated love and though I cannot wait to jump into the final book, I’m so dreading to read it.
I loved the writing style, very vivid, very ominous, like Sienna knows she’ll have to be cruel, yet she’s dreading going ” there”.
The story is complete in its conception, the characters are very true to their background and they morph accordingly, there are no loose ends, no unneccessary distractions spoiling the mood of the story , no irrelevant details to break the rapid flow , making it a taut & racy read.
Even the words she uses to describe their stolen scraps of Love from the tables of hate is poetic
We were soaring together, high and wild among the stars. From way up here, all the arguments against us seemed like mere power and dust. Roman and I were gods together. Immortal together. Floating among stardust. Spinning new universes with our bodies. And when you fall back down to earth, a voice warned, what a pretty tangle of blood and limbs you will make together. No matter the consequences, I told myself, this is worth it. He is worth it.
Please don’t go….let them love…let their love peak and touch the skies.
