🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 shining stars out of 5

Wow! I really like the first book in this series Violent Delights, but I absolutely love Violent Ends! Cristiano de la Rosa is a sexy, secretive, dark man and I love him. Ms. Hawkins really knows how to write a cliff hanger too! Why do you leave me hanging like this?

Cristiano de la Rosa is a man who gets what he wants, and he wants Natalia Cruz. He didn’t know how much he wanted her until he had her. He just wishes he really had her. She is his wife, but she is resisting him at every turn. He is finding that he will go to the ends of the earth to gain her trust. The only problem is that his dealings before she became his wife will put them in danger and could get them as well as others killed. Will he be able to save her from the cartel that he has been trying to take down?

Natalia Cruz is still trying to figure out who her husband really is. She has seen sides of him that not many have. She is adamant that she will not condone harm to come to women or children, and she has her own thoughts of how Cristiano’s men will do make money, little does she know that the rumors she has heard are what Cristiano and his men want people to believe. Just as she is beginning to come around and think of Cristiano as her husband, all heck will break lose and her life will be in jeopardy as will Cristiano’s. What has happened to Max and Daniel?

This story was full of suspense, tension, and secrets. I got so angry at Natalia for the way she treated Cristiano. She was so closed minded, and Alejandro called her out on it. I hated to get to the end of the story because now I have to wait for the next book. I love Cristiano, Alejandro, and Natalia, but Natalia made me angry. I just wanted her to give in to Cristiano. Ms. Hawkins writing of this book as well as Violent Delights, was so well done. She drew me in from the first page and held me captive throughout the book. She kept me drawn in right to the end of the book. I give this book 5-shining stars and highly recommend readers who like cartel, mafia, romantic suspense, and stories with some angst to one-click this book today and read it and Violent Delights. It’s going to be a long wait for the next book, but I am so looking forward to it.
