I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Book 2 of 2 in the Villain Duology, a Dark Regency Erotic Romance duet set in the wilds of Scotland. I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

I definitely recommend this book (and any other Victoria Vale book) to any lover of romance novels. This book will give you all the feels! ❤️ The emotion in this book is real and you can feel it following through the pages. This book is about second chances and how true love can cover a multitude of sins and regrets. And sometimes unexpected gifts are the best ones to receive.

However, this continuation of their story shows that things are not always as they seem and you cannot run from your past. By the end of these books, I wondered if anything could keep them apart. I often wondered at the beginning how they could ever work through their relationship to be together. This is a continuation of Victoria Vale’s books “The Villain” and “The Dove”, with two of my favorite characters ever! If you have read the first two books between Adam and Daphne, you know the chemistry between them is undeniable and definitely scorching! still is!!
