Luca (A Dark Hearts Stand-Alone Novel) Kindle Edition

by Nikki J Summers (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,512 ratings
Chloe Ellis What you're about to read is my story, my truth. A truth that spans over twenty years of a love for two brothers. A love that was cruel, sometimes harsh and raw, but for me, always honest and true. A best friend to one, but to the other, so much more. Ours was a love that defied all reason. It pushed us to our limits. It was never easy, but nothing worth having ever is; and Luca Marquez is so worth having. He's mine, he always has been and no one will take him away from me. Luca Marquez I’ve loved her forever, but I couldn’t make her mine. Not until the day she walked into my club and needed my protection. She brought light into my darkness and warmed my stone-cold heart. Chloe Ellis is my whole world, but she doesn’t know that yet. Luca’s world stops on the day his precious Chloe is taken from him. Faced with an impossible situation, he will stop at nothing to save her. Even if that means slaughtering anyone who gets in his way, or tearing down whole cities to find her. He’ll do anything for her and he’ll never let her go again. *For readers 18 years and over. Please take note of the trigger warnings.

    This is the first book by Nikki J. Summers that I've read.
    I enjoyed reading it.
    There were times when the British to English translation was a bit distracting or off to me, but overall it did sway my wanting to finish the book.

    I love it when I come across a new Author who writes an amazing story and I read it in a day because I can't put it down!
    Nikki did an amazing job with so much happening across the whole story and I was pulled in from the get go. The story line shifts between past and present but it so easy to follow as its so well written.
    The main character Chloe has such a fun, sexy personality with a good sense of humour. She is strong in the sense that she doesn't take shit from anyone and stands up for herself while still having such a big caring heart.
    The tension between her and Luca is off the charts and the sex is HOT!!!
    You see them deal with their own demons and past hurt to come together because these two are definitely meant to be.
    I can't wait to read more of Nikki's books.
    And hopefully some of the secondary characters get a chance to tell their stories too???

    This was a great, action packed, passionate story. I truly enjoyed Luca and Chloe's banter with each other. They were two fiery personalities that simply combust when they get together. While I know this novel is written by an author who uses European spelling and grammar, punctuation was definitely an issue, which is a major thing for me, personally.
    Overall, the story and characters were well written.

    The plot mixed with raw emotions and passion was amazing. O loved that they were.once friends and never stopped loving each other. I loved that Chloe could stand on her own feet and take on anything that came her way, whether Luca was there or not. I knew Luca would give into his love but the way it unfolded was perfect. The spice did not disappoint and was extremely well written.

    Talk about an addicting read! I finished this book in 24 hours. I couldn't put it down. No lie. I was reading every minute I could. This is not some sweet romance. No. This romance is in the midst of the ugly of the evil in the world. The real evil. Two people managed to survive hardships from childhood to adults. They found a way to find their way back to each other. They tried to push their true feelings away but the connection from day one is too strong. Luca and Chloe are probably currently my two favorite characters from a book. And talk about a steamy read! It's not just scenes (those are hot let me tell you), but it's also an amazing story of survival, strength, and just how far a person will go to save the one they love. And there is another story coming this year with an appearance from these character. I can't wait. This author definitely has a new fan! If you a fan of romance with a dark element, this is the story for you!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
    🌶🌶🌶/5

    I loved this story line. It was nothing short of drama packed, intense, and full of frustration. There was so much tension throughout this whole book because even when Chloe and Luca were giving into their desires, they really weren’t. However, I really loved how strong Chloe was throughout this story line. In my opinion, between Chloe’s strength and Luca’s dirty mouth, it made the story.

    Luca. This man was cold and fought his feelings until the bitter end. However, he had a filthy mouth and showed he would do nothing less of burning down the world for Chloe. I wished he would have groveled a little more to get Chloe back, but I must say he did turn a new leaf.

    Chloe. This girl was bad to the bone. She was a born to be leader and was so strong. She fought to get herself out of anything and showed that she didn’t need a man; however, she loved to have Luca by her side. I loved how she saved him when he needed saving and proved even more why we loved her.

    So. Much. Angst. And I freaking loved it. This book pulled me in and dug its dirty claws into me! I love a good crime-mobby romance and this did not disappoint. I couldn’t get enough of the stubborn, strong, feisty Chloe. She fought and played the game Luca and his world dragged her into. And gah! Luca! I have a soft spot for bad boys with good hearts, no matter how small they are. He got me good. I found myself fanning my face many times.

    I love discovering new authors.
    I read about this book on IG and one of the reviews described it as hot stuff. What can I say 🤷🏻‍♀️, I was sold.
    And let me tell you, it was really hot 🔥
    A story about a girl that couldn't get over a boy from her childhood ever years later and a boy that grew up to an extremely strong and dangerous man (don't forget hot 😉) who tried to stay away. A really exciting, nerve-wrenching and packed with a lot of action book, where two lost souls have lost & found themselves in each other.
    It has a mafia romances vibe mixed with the world of traffickers and killers.
    It's a dark romances that draws you in and let you not stop reading, with a really sweet HEA. Definitely a must read for all dark romances lover.
    So read this book and enjoy.
    It's really good written and I enjoyed every second of it.

    So the thing is, the book is good, well written and compelling plot. However the characters' development was nonexistent. There was not an evolution in their relationship or with themselves. They drove me crazy, his hot and cold game was f king and loving her one second, insulting her and going for another woman the next, again, again and again. I ended up wishing she would left him I swear. And her? Oh god, how can someone so badass lack so much backbone and be such so childish, not to talk about how whenever the MMC showed his banana she lost her mind and forgot all the pain he had caused. It had potential but it felt flat, the more you read the more annoyed you get.
