Dark Eyed Devil

A Brothers of Paradise Standalone

De: Olivia Hayle

Narrado por: Lila Winters, Jameson Adams

They say everyone deserves a second chance… but I won't risk my heart again. Not even for Hayden Cole, the only boy who ever broke mine.

Hayden Cole was my brother's best friend and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. Broken smiles, dark hair, and eyes that had seen far too much for his age.

We spent a summer together in secret. In the darkness, in the silence, our hearts spoke the same language. Until he left without a word and tore mine right out of my chest.

Ten years later, he returns from the Navy, demanding a second chance. He's every inch the rogue I remember—crooked smiles and dark eyes—but now he's a man grown. Tall and broad and persistent.

I see him everywhere I turn in our small town. Spending time with my brothers, repairing my broken fence, and looking at me with eyes that speak of our past.

But I'm going to stay far away this time.

Even if Hayden makes it hard to remember exactly why…

Dark Eyed Devil is book one in the standalone series Brothers of Paradise.

Way too much brood and angst

I read a lot of dark, thrillers and crime dramas, so in between I need fluff and laughter I like to read series.
I have read almost all the books by this author and generally, I love them. They have great fun and banter that keeps me engaged and wrapped everything up in a bow in the end, which I like.
This one though what hours and hours angst and suffering with not enough fluff and happiness at the end to make up for it and actually felt like a teen drama to me more than half the time. I will probably return this title, I really didn’t like it.
