Melinda Parker's Reviews > Wrath

Wrath is the conclusion to The Sinful Empire Duet and Eva Charles did not disappoint. Rafael Huntsman quickly became the Hero I wanted and needed in this story.  This is a dark and angst filled mafia and enemies to lovers story. Rafael is most definitely our antihero while Lexie is our fierce and surprising heroine. 


Rafael finds himself desperately searching for Lexie. Her safety was paramount compared due to the fact she was putting herself in danger with hunting down human traffickers.  Their last encounter left Rafael bitter and Lexie hurt. And  now she’s running and he’s facing off with unknown enemies, her family, and his worst fears. 


Once  Rafael is able to secure Lexie’s safety, they find themselves joining forces to fight a mutual enemy. All the while finding that their past and present are battling for their future. Lexie isn’t willing to chance another broken heart. Rafael realizing he’s fallen for Lexie puts him at odds with himself. She’s what he wants and he’s willing to risk it all. 


I love how Charles developed Rafael. While he was broody and unyielding, I appreciated the fact that he made no apologies for who he was and what he did. He ruled his empire for the betterment of all concerned.  And Lexie refused to be tamed. She wielded power over  Rafael neither understood. And appearances from family and friends just added to an amazing story. The Huntsmans’ still reign supreme.
