Book 2 in The Wildheart DuetMarshallWith Adrienne back in my life, once again I feel like anything is possible. Our relationship isn’t the same as it once was, but the strength of our love is palpable. Together, we’re unstoppable. Together, we can survive anything. The next item on my list, eliminate Lock. Our hearts have begun to heal, but our souls will remain shattered every day that he … that he continues to walk this earth. But what if he’s not the only force working against us?
Adrienne
This new life with Marshall is confusing but enlightening; scary but exciting. Something that I never dreamed I could have while I was under Lock’s control. Waking up to Marshall was one of the best things that have happened in years. I’m not so naïve to think that Lock is out of our lives for good. I know he’s waiting, biding his time for the perfect moment to crash back into our lives. This time, I’ll be ready for him. This time, I won’t go down without a fight.
Lock
If you thought you were in hell before, think again. You haven’t seen anything yet. You belong to me and when someone touches what’s mine, they suffer the consequences. Make no mistake, this time I will kill him; no more mishaps. There is no place you can go where I won’t be able to find you. When I do, you’ll wish you were dead, too.

This duet!! I can’t believe I just stumbled upon this incredible duet.
Dark, steamy romance with a strong alpha male pitted against a truly psychotic villain. Lochlan is one of the most terrifying villains I’ve ever read, and I am so thankful the author didn’t try to redeem him, or worse: brush his assaults under the rug and try to pass him off as an anti-hero. Thank you for not doing that to me, Ms. Wallace!
This definitely had a bit of an erotic thriller vibe to me because of the incredibly suspenseful plot and the dark ways of the villain. He is a connoisseur of torture and torture devices, fyi. Shudder.
This duet had it all- it was so exciting I couldn’t put it down; so hot I found myself flustered. The villain was so terrifying that my heart was legitimately racing. It was at times crushing, other times heartwarming, and overall incredibly satisfying.
I highly recommend this duet to fans of dark romance/erotic thrillers. You won’t be sorry!
The sequel to Stolen Love, Marshal fights hard to reclaim his love, to show Adrienne who she once was. Adrienne struggles against the darkness her mind has become, wanting to know who she was, wanting to hope that she had a better life than the one she had known the past 3 years with Loch. While safe for now, Loch is still out there hunting and it’s only a matter of time until he finds her. It was a fabulous read that I could not put down.
Oh my goodness! Book 2 was fabulous! All the good things were on display for most of this book. It started happy and hung in there for a longggggg time. The tension was building like new construction on a building, brick by brick, page by page. Just WHEN was that EVIL MAN, Lock, going to show up? You just KNEW he was coming for Adrienne/Lana, but WHEN, WHEN, WHEN???!!! I was pretty-much reading on the edge of my seat for most of this book. Every time I turned a page, I thought that was going to be it. Lock was going to return. I just knew it. Sure enough, he eventually showed up. OH NOOOOOOOO! I had to throw the Kindle down! I truly detested that man! You NEED to know what happens to the long-suffering Adrienne/Lana. Grab With Love, Book #2, and hold on to your hat as you read this wonderful conclusion to The Wildheart Duet.
What an incredible ending to this duet! Marshall and Adrienne’s story comes to a conclusion in this book and what an ending it is! Now that Marshall has Adrienne back, can he help her to remember how things were with them? She has suffered such horrific things and now has a chance to have a good life again. But after what she went thru, can she trust anyone ever again?! I loved these characters so much and kept hoping they would end up together, but one can’t predict what will happen? This book will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout! If you want to know, then please do yourself a favor and read this book! I’m looking forward to reading more by this author!
With Love by Murphy Wallace conveys an enthralling conclusion for all central characters and the reader. Murphy has the capacity to draw her readers in with a tumultuous whirlwind of rudiments of the essentials to a great read…dark, blind faith, soul searching, betrayal of love and revenge.
With Love is a well written read with both appealing and despised characters.
This reader commends the writer for having a strong female role model in Adrienne. She demonstrates that while she may bend, she does not fracture into a million pieces.
The author entwines the conclusion of this duet with each character getting precisely exactly what they are so richly are entitled to.
With Love was a 5 star read for this reader. This story allowed the reader to feel satisfied with the ending we all wanted.
Wow!!!!! I have been blown away. With Love is just as good as Stolen Love. It was everything I was looking for. I LOVED the bad guy just as much as the good guy. The wait was sooooo worth it. With Love just gave me life. A superb job!!!
Wow, it feels like we waited forever for the conclusion of this story! Not that we did, but you have to admit, Stolen Love ended with a pretty big cliffhanger! With Love picks up right where the previous book left off, and it keeps going…it has a fast pace, and lots of suspense, and you just want to know how it all ends! Oh, and the story behind Owen too… is he a good guy or a bad guy? Read the book!
A dark and delightful conclusion to this amazing duet. Murphy Wallace gave us stellar characters and a gripping, emotional story throughout both books. With Love picks up where Stolen Love ended and sweeps us into the aftermath of Marshall’s rescue of Adrienne and their journey to try to get back to some semblance of a normal life.
Adrienne’s inner strength and determination help her to heal from the atrocities she endured at Lock’s hands. But will that be enough for her to feel again what she once did for Marshall?
Marshall’s unending persistence and love for Adrienne could be the key to getting past her vulnerability and mistrust, unlocking the memories of her past with him and leading her back to the man who loves her unconditionally. He just needs to convince her to let him in.
Lock is still lurking in the background, fuming over the loss of ‘Lana’. And he will go to any lengths to get back what he feels is his rightful property.
In addition to Lock, there are other factors at work, actively trying to keep Marshall and Adrienne apart. Will these others be able to tear the two lovers apart for good?
With their future uncertain, and forces working against them, can Marshall and Adrienne come together and reignite the trust, passion, and love they once shared?
I have no words. This is the highly anticipated conclusion to Stolen Love. It’s amazing!! I could tell this book was a task of love. The writer has brought these characters to life and I’m still not over it. Marshal and Adrienne are the perfect couple. Will their happiness last with Lock around? Read it and find out now!!
Murphy Wallace delivered on a book that had my emotions all over the place—exactly what I love. I devoured this book in one sitting; anyone who dared try to interrupt me learned quickly that was impossible. This is one of those books that made me want to reach out to the author about the emotional torture I was put through, which means it is one of the best books I’ve read.
The character development of this book not only complimented book one, Stolen Love, but also deepened my connection to the characters the author created. Murphy Wallace made them so real that I needed everything possible about them and she executed it perfectly. The world building was intricate like book one and I felt like I was immersed in the pages, even when I was shouting at the book or flinching away.
The storyline of With Love did not disappoint at all. There are twists that really shocked me and kept me more than interested, I was obsessed with the outcome. This is not a book for the faint of the heart; instead it’s a dark reader’s delight. The depravity Murphy Wallace conveyed in the novel had my heart racing. This is a book that ripped out my heart and even made me cry. It is a credit to the author when I have to wait to review simply so I can be coherent enough to try and explain the brilliance of a book—and that’s what this is, absolutely brilliant.
5 stars for a wicked, heart ripping and superb read!
This was well worth the wait in the conclusion to Marshall and Adrienne’s story.
After three long years of searching for his wife, Marshall finally has her back, or so it appears.
Adrienne still doesn’t have her memory back, due to being drugged by Lock for years.
They have a long road ahead of them on trying to come to terms with everything that has conspired during their separation.
Will Adrienne be able to get past the horror she had to endure and get her memory back?
Only time will tell…
I highly recommend this fantastic story.
It does not disappoint.
Be warned… There are quite a few surprises in store in this one as well.
With Love is an amazing finish to Adrienne & Marshall’s story. This couple endures so much heartbreak, tragedy, and pain, only to be reunited and have to rebuild their relationship due to Adrienne’s memory loss. Marshall is the epitome of patience and devotion as he helps Adrienne navigate the trauma of her years held captive by Loch, who is still determined to find her. Marshall & Adrienne do find their happily ever after, but not without a few more battles along the way in this fantastic conclusion of The Wildheart Duet.
A stunning conclusion to the Wildheart duet, this story grips you hard and doesn’t let go. It’s brutal and gritty. It’s intense passion and full of hope. Stolen Love (book 1) and With Love are definite must reads for those that love dark romance.
I not so anxiously waited for the conclusion of this riveting duet by author Murphy Wallace…and she did not disappoint!
If you’ve read the first book Stolen Love, I’m not going to lie…it was pretty dark. I wasn’t entirely certain how this book would play out. However, I was pleasantly surprised that we are brought into the light again, balancing out the story. But don’t worry, for you dark lovers. The author still incorporates some dark elements into this tale.
Adrienne is a ghost of herself in the beginning, but slowly with the support of the man who loves her, she becomes strong and resilient. Despite the hell she was forced to endure at the hands of someone who she once trusted, she perseveres.
Then we have Marshall. Oh how I love that man. Is he the typical pushy, dominant alpha. Hell no! Does that make him a pansy? Absolutely not. His undying love for Adrienne. His patience in her recovery. His protective and nurturing nature. These are all of his traits. And that makes him more of a man in my eyes. He knows what is too much for her. But he’s no pushover. When he feels threatened he doesn’t back down. He just has more control, and approaches it in a way that doesn’t upset Adrienne. LOVED HIM!
And with any great story, it’s more than just about the characters. There’s romance. There’s drama. And there are forces going against the characters I love so much. In other words, it’s a perfect ending to this story.
With Love is the 2nd installment in the Wildheart duet.
This book can NOT be read as a standalone. This conclusion was phenomenal!! Murphy went and delivered a story that went beyond my expectations.
With Love starts off where we were left in Stolen love.
Marshall and Adrienne’s story continues. After being stolen and drugged for 3 years by Lock, Marshall somewhat gets his wife back. This book has quite a few twists and surprises so be warned. YOU WILL BE READING THIS ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT!
I love love this duet and NEED TO have it on PB.
This conclusion of Stolen Love is utter perfection in every single way and I love this duet hard, the character development is outstanding and it delivers full force all the emotion that Adrienne and Marshall have gone through for 3 long years and is heartbreaking the pain that this man has endured for his wife and the love OMG the love his heart is so full of love and I am so happy he had Travis by his side its the most beautiful thing ever, now there is extreme violence that will have you biting your nails off but the flashbacks and the now will overcome that as Marshall introduces Adrienne to her life and he pulls out every single stop but Lock is still hunting and beware he is angry heads are gonna roll.
I am so proud of Adrienne what a strong woman she has become and these two are HOT together like no other the feelings pour off the pages its like you can feel their emotion and dedication. I loved it and never wanted the last page to come.
OMG OMG where do I start! I have waited for this book on pins and needles and when I finally got my hands on it let me tell you it did not disappoint. This was an emotional roller coaster ride from the beginning to the very last page. My heartstrings were constantly being pulled on.
After finally getting his wife, Adrienne, back after three years of searching he has to fight for her again and it just makes you wanna scream. I started hating new characters like Owen and loving new characters. I love how strong Adrienne has become and turns into her own little heroine and maybe Marshall’s too.
I think this is one of the best sequels to a book I’ve read. Murphy Wallace is an amazing artist and I can’t wait to read more of her books. Love, love, love! This is a must read. (less)
Murphy Wallace has outdone herself with the conclusion to this duet. With Love is brilliant and was so worth the wait. I didn’t think that I could love Marshall or Adrienne any more than I already did, but boy was I wrong. I am so looking forward to reading so much more from Murphy.
Emotional rollercoaster.
So many feelings.
I went into this story fully prepared to love every word but hadn’t expected the feelings that came with it. The author does an excellent job of ensuring you take the ride right along with the characters. I wanted to scream, cry and celebrate all at the same time. When a book can do all that, its one I highly recommend.
5 Massive Stars
WoW This second book was a long time coming but Murphy Wallace did not disappoint, I loved part 1: Stolen Love and the second book: With Love takes us right back to the ending of part 1, it is very emotional in parts my heart broke for Marshall but he is strong and true love, patience and a trip down memory lane has to bring his Adrienne back, right?.
However, it is not an easy fix, the scars on the outside will heal but those deep inside may never heal, especially when others are after Adrienne’s heart.
Lock, this guy I have a love/hate relationship with him, wants his property back and in true Lock style he takes his anger and frustrations out on those around him.
Perfect gripping very well written series, containing, brutal violent scenes, hot sex scenes, emotional heart-breaking scenes and twists & turns that will have you hooked until the very end.
