The Recluse (Texas Safehouse Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 783 ratings

The days I spent as a prisoner of war haunt my dreams most nights. I’m doing my best to move from one day to the next, but nothing feels pleasurable anymore—until I find Carlo Marchesi sneaking around my cabin.

Carlo is a mobster. He’s supposed to be under guard. But when he suggests a wicked way to pay for a night in my house, I can’t say no, and I can’t hold back the real me, the dangerous man I never thought I’d be again.

Being with Carlo feels more real than anything has in ages, but he has a life back in Boston, and neither of us are a good bet for a relationship.

When Carlo’s enemies come for him, will love be enough to hold us together and help us survive to build a life together?

This is the fourth book in the Texas Safehouse series.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Silvia Violet writes bad boy M/M romance. She can be found haunting coffee shops looking for the darkest, strongest cup of coffee she can find. Once equipped with the needed fuel, she can happily sit for hours pounding away at her laptop. Silvia typically leaves home disguised as a suburban stay-at-home-mom, and other coffee shop patrons tend to ask her hilarious questions like "Do you write children's books?" She loves watching the looks on their faces when they learn what she's actually up to. When not writing, Silvia enjoys baking sinfully delicious treats, exploring new styles of cooking, and reading to her incorrigible offspring.

    I’m not one to finish a book in a single sitting but for these books that’s been the case. I love the characters and the stories. I enjoy books with a good plot alongside the romance and this series delivers.

    I really enjoyed the twist between alluring and patience in this book. It was suspenseful but also empathetic to the emotional turmoil of the characters.

    Blade becoming like his old self was amazing. Silvia did an amazing job writing about Blade's PTSD and not making it degrade him and let it come naturally. Carlo was the right man to know when he needed to talk and when to listen. There was plenty of danger and working through that danger.

    I love the Texas Safehouse family and then you add in some more of the Marchesi family and I am in awe. These men are so passionate and protective of one another; they are natural protectors and lovers. I just keep wanting more of them!

    The beginning of the book caused doubts to be honest and the first time Blade and Carlo were together had an ick factor for sure. This absolutely is not a good example of mental health treatment and entirely unrealistic but with all that said the second half was much better and the ending was pretty great so stick with it.

    Going into this book I had an idea of where this story was going to go and I was actually surprised it didn’t. I love that the typical characters were there and even some from the previous series which I probably should go and read the Marchesi series as I’ve read the other ones that come off of it. I love how Blade was able to overcome his struggles with Carlo love and determination. Carlo’s growth and dedication to Blade was just as excellent. If you are like me and enjoy the series, I do believe you need to read this one to see how the story and Blade evolves.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mind over matter
    Reviewed in Canada on March 30, 2023
    This is Blade and Carlos' story, book 4 of The Texas Safehouse series and each book gets better and better. I was looking forward to Blade's, and I was not disappointed.

    Blade came to the Ranch after being rescued in Afghanistan by Grant and his fellow Marines when he was captured and became a POW. Grant thought the Ranch would be a great place for him to rest and come to terms (as best he could) with what happened to him.

    Carlos is part of a Mafia-type family and has been targeted by another family for something he did or did not do. They want to stash him at the Ranch for his own wellbeing. Carlos sees things differently and escapes whenever he can. He ends up trying to break into Blade's cabin and an unlikely alliance forms.

    The action is fastpaced and there is danger around every corner. Will Blade learn to accept another person in his life, or will he retreat into his mind reliving his time as a POW? Will Carlos learn to think of someone other than himself? Can two people so different learn to love and accept and help each other?

    I found I couldn't stop reading this book, as I was hooked from the first sentence and needed to know that they could have their HEA.

    The Ranch came alive in such vivid detail it felt like you were right there with them. I am on pins and needles waiting for the next book in this exciting series.

    I won't go over the blurb as you can read in the description. 🧐🤔
    Who doesn't love an MM series. 📚
    This new series is on a horse ranch & it's a safe house. It's interlocked with 3 other series (The Marchesi Family,Vigilance & The Theriot Family). I found it easier to read in order, and characters & stories are all woven together. 📚
    Blade & Carlo, Blade has 😞 PSTD & Carlo helps him come out of his shell is a beautiful story.
