SGetch's Reviews > Wrath

I enjoyed reading the Sinful Empire Duet by Eva Charles, which ends with Wrath. I was impressed by this novel's excellent character development, intense plot, and clever twists. This story has a bit of betrayal, redemption, and suspense wrapped up in an angsty love story. The book's darker themes were skillfully done, evoking a range of emotions as the story progressed.

I thought Rafael Huntsman's devotion to Lexie Clarke was admirable. Their interactions were brimming with desire and passion but also heartbreak because they weren't sure how to make things work between them. But love always finds a way, and eventually, they tame their inner demons and learn how to trust each other fully. For me, the best moments were when Rafael and Lexie were their most vulnerable. I enjoyed the tender touches and moments of epiphany. Of course, the passion and dirty talking were intoxicating too! Wrath is a satisfying ending to Rafael and Lexie's journey. I loved it!

The Sinful Empire Duet is a great story for anyone who loves romance novels with strong characters, sensuality, dangerous twists, and a happy ending that's well-earned.
