VILLAIN

 “I need to apologize,” he said to my back as I hurried into my sitting room. My shoulders hunched to my neck at the words. I couldn’t look at him.
What did he want me to say? That it was okay?
Because it wasn’t.
No one, no matter what, should have to be subjected to what that woman said to me.
Henry’s mother!
He was in Cloud Cuckoo Land if he thought this, whatever this was between us, could ever work out when his mother thought so little of me.
“Just go,” I snapped, not looking at him.
“No,” he said, his tone stern. “Not until you turn around and look at me.”
I shot him a glare over my shoulder. “Satisfied? Now leave.”
Instead of leaving, he studied my face, softening as if he understood what was going on behind my fury.
But he didn’t understand.
“I cannot apologize enough for what my mother said to you. Frankly, right now I’m ashamed I share DNA with the woman. That was the reason I was avoiding her. She’s … bad with the women I date normally, even the ones she’s set me up with. No one is good enough. Usually, it’s merely irritating, but I didn’t want to subject you to her. And if I had known how goddamn low she’d sink tonight, I never would’ve put you in that situation.”
I heard his words, but I couldn’t feel them. I couldn’t feel the anger and worry in them that I’d later remember. In that moment, all I saw were the flowers peeking over the top of the trash can behind him. Flowers that had arrived at my apartment earlier that afternoon. Flowers that meant he’d found my home address. Flowers that taunted me, saying, “You can’t be angry at Penelope Lexington when you know she’d feel smug with satisfaction if she ever discovered the truth.” She’d feel vindicated in her opinion of me.
Worse would be how Henry would react if he knew the truth. How he’d never look at me the same way again. He’d never look at me in that way that was getting under my skin, becoming an addiction, despite all the defenses I’d tried to put up against him.
A chill shivered down my spine.
“Nadia, what can I do? What—”
“If you’re not going to leave,” I turned around to fully face him, “then we might as well get this over with.”
Henry watched with narrowed eyes as I threw my purse on the couch and then removed my earrings. “What are you doing?”
Cold, toneless, I reminded him, “Our arrangement is almost over. A deal is a deal.”
“A deal is a deal?” The muscle in his jaw twitched, his eyes flashing. “You’re going to fuck me like some martyr?”
“Well, I’d prefer it if you leave but I don’t welch on a deal.”
“Nadia, don’t hide from me.” I could hear the barely contained fury beneath his words and in a twisted way, I reveled in it. I wanted his anger. I wanted to force him to walk away and walk away for good. “Talk to me.”
I scoffed. “Why do you keep trying to make this more than it is? You wanted to slum it with the local weather girl. I wanted to get laid because it’s been a while. You just happened to be there and I’ve heard you’re good. That’s all this ever was. And I’m not one of your uptight society princesses who needs to be assured you want more from me than a dirty fuck.”
“Nadia …”
I didn’t heed the growl of warning in his voice. “Let me make it clearer,” I hissed out, all my rage at myself redirected at him like I knew and feared would happen. “I don’t do relationships with spoiled rich boys who run away from their mommas. I’ll let a rich boy fuck me for the hell of it, but rest assured when I do let someone in long-term, it’ll be a man.”
Not even a second later, Henry crossed the distance between us, one hand tangling into my pinned-up hair, the other around my waist. He yanked me roughly against him before I could blink and slammed his mouth down over mine in a hard, punishing kiss.


Hey gays 🤗


Don't worry I am here 😉 just like Samantha's VILLAIN.
Yes VILLAIN is out for two days ago and believe me when I'll tell you that you will definitely going to love this book.

Nadia and Henry are definitely right definition of Fairly Tale. He is smart, hot, successful. She is beautiful, smart and deeply hurt.
There are totally perfect picture of Fairly Tale Love story.
Everything what we need in this Countdown Christmas time when everything around is about love, magic and fairly tales.

But ..... I am book blogger who write reviews so I hope that you will not measure me about my sincerity.
So....
When I think about Samantha Young books I think about deep family drama, big heartless story which It overwhelms me totally.
Where do I meet with love what we can only wish for, hot, possessive, magical, perfect.

That kind of relationship where you can be yourself. Where no matter how many years are past from your first date with your love, every time when you see him/her you still have butterflies in stomach.
Really Samantha's books make me feel that I can believe in fairy tales. That nothing is wrong if you want prince charming for you.
Her book makes you to believe that everything can happen. That when you deserve the best!!!


And when comes to VILLAIN..... I don't think that.
Don't get me wrong VILLAIN is PERFECT but I miss something.
First of all I think it's to short.
I haven't read HERO so I can't compare with, but I have been reading Dublin Street serial and Play On so I can say without gilt.
Its short!!!
And it's not what I was expected.

I have some feeling like I'm reading some kind of short love story.
The biggest plot is happening on the start, and there's not enough drama.

However at the end I love it 😁
Yes I am honest with you people I really love VILLAIN!!!

And that is all of me for now 😉

So royals until next book review
Keep Calm and be yourself!!!

And if you are searching for some books to read your Royal Diary have a lots to recommend 😊 just check ✅

See you soon 😘
