Release Day Review: GODS & MONSTERS by SAFFRON A. KENT

February 22, 2018

 

Title: Gods & Monsters
Author: Saffron A. Kent
Genre: Contemporary/New Adult Romance
Release Date: February 22, 2018


Synopsis
He was an artist. She was his muse.To everyone in town, Abel Adams was the devil’s spawn, a boy who never should
have been born. A monster.To twelve year-old Evie Hart, he was just a boy with golden hair, soft t-shirts
and a camera. A boy who loved taking her picture and sneaking her chocolates
before dinner. A boy who made her feel special.Despite her family’s warnings, she loved him in secret for six years. They met
in empty classrooms and kissed in darkened church closets. Until they couldn’t.

Until the time came to choose between love and family, and Evie chose Abel.

Because their love was worth the risk. Their love was the stuff of legend.

But the thing about legends is that they are cautionary tales. They are made of
choices and mistakes. And for Abel and Evie, the artist and the muse, those
mistakes come in the form of lights, camera, sex.

NOTE: This is NOT a paranormal or a priest romance.

My Review:

“This is how boys with golden hair and angry expressions crash into your life. This is how stars collide and worlds are made. This is how all the love stories start.”

WOW not what I expected at all! I LOVE this author but this story blindsided me. I had some issues with the characters but I think you’ll like this one if you’re looking for a sexy read that’s on the edgier, dark side.

Abel and Evie’s story is raw, unfiltered and simply cannot be stopped. This began as a small-town story which I love. Evie is very sheltered and grows up in an ultra-strict and extremely religious home. She has an innocence and purity about her that attracts Abel, the new boy in town with a very, very dark past.

Abel and Evie fell in love but they had to hide their relationship from everyone. Evie’s mother especially was borderline abusive to her so it was no surprise when Evie agreed to run away with Abel when she was only 17 years old. While others may have looked down on Abel, Evie only saw his intelligence, protectiveness and sensitivity.

The story took an abrupt turn for me after Abel and Evie leave town. I will say that I was surprised, based on Evie’s upbringing, that she agreed to certain things but it certainly made for an unexpected twist!

I absolutely loved ‘The Unrequited’ and ‘A War Like Ours’. And this book has sex scenes that are really off-the-charts. Plus I could not put it down because I could not wait to see what on earth was going to happen next for Abel and Evie. They had a love for each other that was almost bordering on obsession but yet I could not look away! This particular story just did not have “it” for me but I certainly read anything Saffron Kent writes. She is incredibly talented and i look forward to seeing what comes next.

“Loving Abel Adams might be the purest and truest thing I’ll ever do.”

Excerpt
Abel drops
his head on my shoulder with a sigh and places soft but wet kisses on my
collarbone.
“The minute
you turn eighteen, I’m picking you up, throwing you over my shoulder and
driving you down to the nearest courthouse so you can say I do,” he rumbles, still kissing me, tattooing those words on my
skin.
My hands
bury themselves in his hair as my back arches toward him, craving the rough
terrain of his chest against my soft, rounded breasts, shooting sparks all
over.
“You
haven’t even asked me n-nicely, yet,” I whimper, baring my throat to his
exploring mouth. He hasn’t. It’s been over a year since he brought it up at the
treehouse and I told him no. Since then, he likes to joke about it but he’s yet
to ask me formally.
“I don’t
have to. I already know the answer.”
“A little
too cocky, aren’t you?”
“Oh yeah,
that’s definitely what I am.” He chuckles, sucking in the skin of my neck,
making me shiver and blush. Oops. Double entendre.
The way
he’s tugging on my skin is translating into a melty tugging down below. “Abel,
no. That’s gonna leave a mark.”
He growls
and looks up. The brown of his eyes is completely gone, a drop of honey drowned
by a black lake of desire. “One day I’m gonna kiss you in the front of the
whole world and if they don’t like it then fuck them.”
I read the
frustration in his tone, the suppressed anger, and it hurts my heart. No one
should be made to hide their love. No one. It’s too pure, too beautiful to ever
keep hidden. I caress his pulsing jaw. “Okay. Kiss me at our wedding, then. In
front of the whole world.”
A slow
smile spreads over his lips and I want to fill my mouth with it. “So, you
saying yes?”
I shake my
head at him and give him a smirk. “Maybe.”
He plants a
hard kiss on my mouth. “Kidnapping you it is, then.”
“Oh my God,
you’re crazy.” I laugh.
But he
swallows it up with his mouth. He’s kissing me, really kissing me. Like, he’s lost all patience with me and he
can’t be a good guy anymore. He needs to be bad. He needs to suck both my lips
into his mouth and drink my flavor straight from the tap. He needs to bite into
my flesh to get to it, dig his way inside the pores and fuse us together.

 I never look in a mirror. I
don’t need to. If I want to see what I look like, I just look at my twin.

everything I have. Everything I love.

no barriers. It stops at nothing. It won’t rest until it gets what it wants.
And he wants what is mine. MINE. He wants my woman. My air. My reason for
living.
I’ll die
before I let him take Mia from me.
Will this be a battle to the end? Till the last man is left standing?
When two
wills this strong clash, there will be chaos . . . and blood.
Who will
win? The God or The Monster?

Meet Jani Kay

Jani has been married for a long time to a special man, and her two
children and their partners are the sunshine in her life. She is a voracious
reader and would spend her last dollar on a book – always fascinated that for
the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through
someone else’s eyes.

Besides reading, her favorite ‘thing’ is traveling – she has traveled
the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization
that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby
– Scrapbooking – keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects
are her family and her travels.
Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people,
about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness – arguably the most
difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately
desires (in her humble opinion).
