Heart of My Monster: Special Edition Print (Monster Trilogy #3)

No grammatical errors. All loose ends Tied up and still some surprises! Spicy like we like it and full of action and love and reconciliation. 🧡

I really enjoyed this book, not as much as the two previous ones but still good however the villain reveal was so cartoony I just couldn’t take it seriously might as well have added a “muah ha ha” at the end

Sigh... I was utterly in love with book 1 and 2, with Kirill and Sasha. This book, on the other hand...SpoilersLogically and rationally, I can understand many things: Sasha is young and immature, she was traumatized by the m*ssacre, brought up to be mistrustful and seek revenge, had to give up on being "her" (a woman + discover who she is/wants to be), she witnessed first hand Kirill's accurate calculations, strategies and manipulation of others in order to get the results he wants, and, worst of all, she was "shown proof" that he "lied and used" her like a pawn... so of course she left and was harboring this anger and, as I mention above, mistrust towards him. However, saying that Sasha was "annoying" doesn't even start to cover it for me lolHer impulsiveness, not even considering to talk to Kirill first, TRUST him, and unwillingness to let go of her resentment when they reunite and he + everyone else start to tell her and SHOW her the truth drove me crazy. Her half-*ss apologies cannot amount to the damage, INTENTIONAL damage that she put Kirill through (faking her d*ath, for God's sake). I know, I know... she believed that he wouldn't care; that's how little she thought of herself/how much she meant to him. But still.Even though I love female characters who find their confidence, grow and change, it was hard for me to like Sasha's drastic changes; I am a s*cker for some power dynamic, and clearly in book 1 and 2 Kirill was her SEXY Captain and then her SEXY boss, and he totally crossed a line there (she too, but he was the one who ended up crossing the boundaries), but this new "female" Sasha just arrives and calls him "bastard" a million times, ignores him most of the time and can barely be in his presence lol So yes, they are both changed and traumatized after Sasha's fake d*ath, but this new dynamic didn't do it for me... It felt more like Kirill just trying to strongly hold on to her, of course, and Sasha not really caring. Even when they were married and "reconciled".This is a good moment to mention how she shamelessly omits and lies about her pregnancy?! Again, I can think about all the chaos that she's been through to rationalize her actions, but how can she still be thinking that if she tells him, she'll be "trapped in Kirill's web forever"?! Even if it's true, didn't she want to BE with this man?! I'm just... I can't.I'm just grateful that, even though Kirill does turn a bit more sappy sadly, it was just a bit and he kept most of his personality. But that's about it... their dynamic didn't give me the previous butterflies and excitement anymore. I just wanted to slap them both, mainly Sasha for turning into an annoying woman.I'm glad the ending was nice and happy, but due to my mixed feelings throughout almost the whole reading experience, I can't give it 5 stars.

I absolutely devoured this series. This book had me hooked from my beginning and had me crawling on my knees begging for scraps in a good way. Rina Kent had my heart through this whole trilogy. Thanks for giving us a great story to remember.
