Blood Red Rose by Fawn BaileyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
At 18 years old, Harlow Granger is an aspiring ballerina on the cusp of getting her big break until one terrible day when she is kidnapped against her will and spirited away. Rueben Thorn liked pretty little things. When he first saw Harlow, he knew he needed her, had to own her, make her his anyway he possibly could. Thorn is a man on a mission and Harlow is that mission. This is such a dark romance with its sensitive triggers, dark and delicious alpha male, innocent and sweet virgin heroine. I don’t want to give spoilers away but what I can say is this is a roller coaster ride of emotions that will take you thru everything that Harlow feels as she tries to understand what has happened to her and how she lives thru everything. I didn’t think I would like Thorn but wow I totally did. There are several supporting characters that had me wondering what their motives were and the ending ended on a cliffhanger. This is the first book in a trilogy and I will say the cliffhanger doesn’t per say leave you hanging, you know in the next book all things will break loose. And Thorn is the classic antihero but one that you do come to fall for. Harlow is one strong woman to go thru everything she did. This is a twisted, dark, angsty, hidden desires and heartbreaking passions new series by Ms Fawn Bailey which is the pen name for Isabella Sterling. I am dying to see how Harlow/Rose and Thorn end up because book 1 was fabulous.
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****
