Wow! This book was intense and dark. So many things happening and so many things about to happen. I strongly recommend you read this series.
Wicked hearts
This was a delicious dark, twisted, almost taboo bully romance and I devoured it in one sitting. I could not stop reading until the mind-blowing last page. Mallory Fox has outdone herself with this powerful book. This was a heartbreaking, emotional roller coaster of a story. The plot was fast paced and thick with suspenseful twists and turns. All the secrets!!!! The characters are well developed and complex. Pearl and Seth had explosive chemistry together. They are both hiding secrets and refusing to give into their feelings. This book is a must read!! The ending blew my mind and I need the next installment in this amazing series. One click this book now!
This was an amazing story. This is Seth and Pearls second story and it just gets more interesting in this book. The chemistry is still strong and the heat level is volcanic. Even with all the games the two of them continue to play it is impossible not to fall a little in love with them both. Pearl is a bit more rough around the edges and still seems a bit impulsive. Seth is still cruel but you see a bit more of his protective/soft side in this book. I just can not wait for the next book to come out to find out how Seth and Pearls story will play out.
My heart hurts so bad in a good way after reading this second book in the series. I thought the first book would break me, but this one just changed EVERYTHING!!! This book is a stunning representation of first love and first true heartbreak. What do you do when you go from having everything to having nothing at all and how do you survive the pain of guilt and hidden secrets. There are not enough words in the English language to describe how utterly amazing this book is.
Such a tragic and twisted tale of heartache, betrayal and greed. The war rages between Pearl and Seth with ever increasing consequences to both sides. There’s so much we still don’t know about the time between book 1 and 2 and plots within plots are starting to unravel. The hatred Seth feels is justified but there were also other circumstances at work that we still don’t completely know about. It’s obvious they both want to love each other but just can’t get past the destruction wrought years before. I’m anxiously awaiting the finale. I hope we can at least get some justice even if they miss they’re HEA.
Whoa…where do I start with this review? Wicked Hearts was just as its name, pure wicked. Pearl and Seth were….well that is a lot going on there. I have no idea what will the outcome of this series will be. This story has edge and is a bit dark. Pearl is a character I have yet figured out. She has thick skin, but I feel like she is a ticking time bomb. Secrets lie beneath the surface. There is the lawyer that I cannot trust fully that is involved with Pearl and Seth. I have my eye on him.
Wicked Hearts is shattering delicious. I hung on to every word. I am still thinking about the twists that came in this book that had me left with jaw hanging. I am eagerly waiting for Hearts Break!!
My first read from this author and it was a good one!
Pearl and Seth step siblings have a turbulent relationship to say the least… this story had so many twists & turns and that ending had a cliff hanger I never saw coming!!
A very entertaining read if your a fan of step sibling bully romance then this book is the one for you!
I’m excited for what is to come in book 2.

At one point in her life Seth meant everything to Pearl, he was the object of her desires, a trusted friend, and the one person who she could always depend on. Then things went totally wrong, he was sent away to military school, and all connection was lost.
That is until now, he has come back to town armed with a mission to right the wrongs of the past and also settle a few scores. One of which involves Pearl, she hurt him and he is determined to pay her back for the pain she caused.
And Pearl is more than a little scared to see what he will do…
Wicked Hearts is dark and dramatic romance that will keep you enthralled from beginning to end. What starts out as a mission of revenge quickly becomes something else entirely, secrets are being kept, a dynasty is at stake, and it’s two staring characters can’t seem to stay away from one another. These two sworn enemies have history, the steamy kind that has a way of coming around to haunt them when they least expect it, and boy was it fun to watch them try to escape it. I am dying to see how this one all comes to an end, that cliffhanger stole the breath from my lungs, and left me with so many questions! Highly recommend you take a chance on this one, it’s pages hold a story that will torture your heart in the best possible way!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
WHAT THE HE$$!! The cliffhanger is torture! Pearl is suppose to inherit her fathers company when she turns 21 but her stepbrother Seth comes back from the dead. Oh and the betrayal of someone she’s trusted is sad…I wanted to strangle him myself. Pearl loved Seth when they were younger we’ll actually she still does. Seth loved Pearl as well. Time hasn’t changed that even though he’s suing her for all her inheritance. And she turns to someone most people wouldn’t for help…will the price she has to pay be too steep? She’s got people attaching her left and right and he has the audacity to keep asking if she’s ok!?!?! Uugghh I gotta have the next book NOW!!
I received this as an ARC for my honest and voluntary review.
Talk about a slow tortuous burn! Wicked hearts packs a punch. So gripping that when it ended I couldn’t breathe! That cliffhanger! Pearl is set to run her family company but everything comes to a halt when her stepbrother comes back from the dead. He wants his share of his inheritance and he will take her to court for it. He loved her once upon a time before she had him sent to military school. Pearl is dealing with a hacker and people leaking fake videos of her in compromising positions. And her feelings for Seth that hasn’t diminished in the 5 years hes been gone. Pearl as a secret and guess what… you still dont know what it is when this book ends. I swear Mallory was probably laughing as she typed to be continued.
I recieved an ARC in exchange for a honest review.
He’s back to claim what he lost when she sent him away.
She’s desperate to keep her throne as the current president of the Darlington estates.
Who will reign supreme and come out top dog when all is said and done…
I found myself rather dissapointed with this. Don’t get me wrong it’s not terrible or anything, it just didnt tick all the boxes for me.
I’ve read alot of bully romance books and so to me this doesnt really fit that category so much.
Sure there are moments but not from who you expect.
It’s more a business and financial battle with her alpha protective hottie step brother.
Therefor I’m only giving this 3.5 stars.
This is the first book in a series and is an intriguing story. This story is filled with angst, drama, suspense, revenge, which all lead to a dark and intense read. The only downfall in my opinion only, is that I found this story to be a tad confusing at times. I look forward to reading more in this series.
