Virtues & Lies: Enter the world of the privileged British elite

Burn: Virtues & Lies 1, Alexandra Silva

Burn

A secret admirer, secret society romantic suspense set in aristocratic London.

One glance across a dim, crowded room. That’s all it took for my life to change.

One moment. One look. One touch.

From him… The man with no name. He is everywhere I go and everywhere I turn. He is in my thoughts and daydreams. He’s a constant want and need I can’t escape.

I don’t want to.

The closer he gets the more I crave him. I crave his intensity and his fire. I crave his biting words and rough touches. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever known and his touch is unlike anything I’ve ever felt.

He unravels me. My life. Everything I’ve ever known, until all that’s left are secrets that never seem to end.

Until all that’s left is ashes and blood.

Until we burn.

Scorch: Virtues & Lies 2, Alexandra Silva

Scorch

A marriage on the rocks, brother's best friend romantic suspense set in London's political scene filled with secrets and lies.

We had it all. Money. Power. Love. A future carved in stone. Until it all fell apart. Burning in front of our eyes. Drop by crimson drop we were shattered. All it took was One second. One mistake. One life. Our vows were broken. Our marriage was fractured. Our love was scorched. The only way to earn forgiveness is to sell myself to the Devil. But how can I do that when I'm already married to a God?

Blaze: Virtues & Lies 3, Alexandra Silva

Blaze

An accidental pregnancy, lovers on the run romantic suspense set in London's aristocratic circles where betrayal and heartbreak are just around the corner.

Some people come into our lives. Some get ripped away from us. Others keep you at a distance to save you and themselves. Casper pushed me away until that one night.

The streets bled, and the dark lingered. But he came for me—my dark prince and blazing assassin. All the barriers dropped, and he was mine.

One night. One breath. One heartbeat.

Now, we're running for our lives. Friends and foes at our heels. But I'm not a runner. I'm not a princess or a queen. If you touch what's mine what's mine... I'm trouble. And I'm coming for you.

Smoke & Flame duet: Virtues & Lies 4 and 5, Alexandra Silva

Smoke & Flame: Duet

A best friend's sister, unrequited love romantic suspense set in London's turbulent high society where the stakes are high and revenge lurks in the shadows.

My world never stops spinning. It pirouettes from one day to another. Every second spurs me to greatness. I’m living the dream I’ve chased and fought for my entire life. Until him. He sends me off kilter with his icy scowl and cruel demeanour. The more he hurts me the more I want him. I crave him like a drug. Ache for him like a sickness. I’m his Swan and he is my Lord. Slowly, the world I ran from becomes the only world I exist in. Dark, twisted and full of monsters lurking in the shadows. Nothing is as it seems. No one is who they seem. In a world of demons all it takes is One word. One lie. One fear. To tear it all apart. It takes something bigger and badder to survive. My Lord may be the smoke but I’m the fire. And you know what they say... You can’t have one without the other.

“I more than love you, morena.” “I more than love you, cariño.”
✨📚ARC -Review Scorch - Virtues & Lies Book 2 By Alexandra Silva 4/5⭐️ “I more than love you, morena.” “I more than love you, cariño.” This is the second book in the Virtues & Lies series and you should have read #1 Burn before this one since there is so much that happens and people to keep track on from the first one . I must admit that sometimes I got a bit lost while reading this story because of all the parallel and secretive happenings. I would be a lot of help if the author put a list of the characters and family ties at the beginning of the book , it would make things a lot clearer while reading . We meet Christopher Sinclair and his beloved wife Alexandra in book #1 Burn were they had recently got married and were expecting a little girl , but at the very end of that book Alexandra suffers an attack and loses the baby . Scorch begins with Christopher and Alexandra mourning the loss of their little girl , the sorrow should bring them closer together but guilt, sacrifice and secrets slowly drift them apart . Until the day Alexandra leaves and Christopher is left behind with a tornado of feelings . This is the beginning of a journey of intrigues , greedy politicians and cynical powerplay . This book has all a romantic suspense book requires and with the steamy , off the charts chemistry between the characters you are going to love it.

    Another good book in this series. I really enjoyed Christopher and Arabella, two very hardheaded characters. Definitely a lot of characters make up these stories. You never know who you can trust or not. Looking forward for the next book.

    This book was a fantastic, suspenseful, emotional rollercoaster that I never wanted to get off. The couples story was so heartbreaking, however healing at the same time. I loved every minute of it. Can't wait for the next book to come out.

    If you've taken the time to read BURN, the first book in the Virtues and Lies series, then you'll know Alexandra Silva writes one hell of a steamy romance that will melt your kindle or torch your paperback.

    What you really need to know though is, that if BURN was the audience warmer, SCORCH is the incendiary device that will incinerate everything in it's path!
    With a superbly detailed storyline that will leave you gripping the edge of your seat, it's intensity and descriptive imagery will leave you breathless and wanting more!

    Christopher and Arabella are a red-hot force of nature. Their love is nothing short of legendary.
    I can't remember ever reading a couple I love as much as I do these two!

    He is all you could ever want in a book hero; alpha to his core but so intense in his love and devotion, he leaves the rest of the male population with a lot to live up to!
    And Arabella is a such powerhouse of a woman; admirable, loyal and yet fragile and vulnerable, she is his true soulmate in every way.

    But every bond has a weak point; and when they suffer heart breaking loss at the hands of a devious unknown and persistent enemy that is trying to tear apart theirs and their family's world apart, the strength of their love is tested.

    With so much going on in this story, you really need to focus closely on the character interactions as the plot unfolds to reveal an even murkier underbelly than is initially perceived.
    If you thought the aristocracy had it easy then you haven't been paying attention!!

    But at the core of this story is the intense and unmistakable chemistry that this couple share, and when they connect it's nothing short of explosive.
    Silva writes some of the most incredibly hot sex scenes I have ever read; but it's more the visceral, palpable passion between these two that make them and their love story such an epic one.

    This is a story not to be missed, and has just set fire to this series for me.
    I cannot wait for Casper and Fleur's book, and don't even get me started on Freddy.
    Bring it on!!!

    After the way Burn ended, I was super anxious to get my hands on Scorch. I needed to know what was going to happen with Anabelle and Christopher so bad, and then when I finally got my hands on it I was kind of scared to even read it. But I couldn't stay chicken for long, I needed answers.
    Even though she scares me, Miss Silva gave me my answers for Belles and Christopher. It hurt, as predicted, but I got a little closure.
    She also gave me new questions. I'm excited to know more about this crew of billionaires and the secrets of the elite. There is so much scandal, so many secrets- it can't be told in one story. I am LOVING how Silva is telling this tale. Peeking through the different view points as the books release and the overall plot line arcs through the series.
    I'm going to reread Burn and then Scorch next. Because my first read of Scorch was *fast* with a tight chest and fragile nerves. So I want to slow down and try to catch more details in this web Alexandra is weaving.
    Warnings for this whole series are probably going to remain the same across the board.... Seriously steamy and graphic naughty times, explicit language and violence. And though I wouldn't say the books are cliffhangers, they probably wouldn't stand alone very well and IMHO they should be read in order.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intense, sexy and brilliant!
    Reviewed in Australia on February 20, 2020
    This is not normally my genre... I usually stick to pure romance novels - now I’m left wondering what I’ve been missing all this time!! This is a heart wrenching story of grief and loss and how love can pull you through. It follows Christopher and Arabella as they find their way back to each other after experiencing devastating loss and it left me with a serious book hangover when I could not put it down! There were twists and turns that had you sitting on the edge of your seat trying to work out what had happened and how it could possibly resolve.

    Alexandra’s writing is amazing and draws you into the story! I cannot wait for the next book in this series - and am now going to find myself some other reads from this author!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Heartbreaking. Gripping. Scorching
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 16, 2019
    SCORCH

    let's start with the cover. A strong handsome man stripped bare. With a crown in his head, and blood on his hands. BOOM! NAILED IT!!

    Christopher- What do you do when your soul, your connection with the universe is ripped away from you? " I'd tear down heaven and raise hell just to make her smile. This woman, she's not just my existence- she's my soul"

    Christopher's anguish is tangible, you breathe it, you can taste it. He will stop at nothing to right the wrongs and regain his rightful place, and that is next to his wife. His Queen. His soul.

    But who can he trust to help him get what he needs? Well you'll just have to read. I dont want to give anything away.

    Arabella has had her hopes and dreams shattered and torn from her. And through it all, she's still serving her role as a Queen and protecting her King in the only way available to her. Eventhough it's ripping her open deeper and deeper. BUT..."I can't sell myself to the devil when I'm already married to a God"

    These pair are off the scale. I love this book from start to finish. Their heartbreaking story keeps the pages turning. Leading you further into their torment. Their dark world that is scorched with lies and deceit, and betrayal. There are scenes where you WILL shed tears, and scenes where you will need to fan yourself down. It's so bloody hot!

    Alexandra writes in a way where you are there in the moment, you are living in her twisted dark world. Scorch follows Burn (book 1) and inter links effortlessly, finding out more and more about the background happenings as you go. I cannot wait to re-enter this dark world she has created when we get to hear about the loyal man giant that is Casper. Write like the wind lady!! ❤

    This book has the feel of a second season of a fabulous suspense and thriller show. You aren't sure what to expect but hold on for the ride. I wasn't huge fans of Christopher and Arabella in book 2 to be honest. They both slowly grew on me especially Christopher. I do however love their epic love story and steamy hot chemistry. Can't wait to dig into Fleur and Casper's story in this intriguing world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A journey through grief loss and back to love
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 16, 2019
    After the epic epilogue of Burn, the first in Alexandra Silva’s Virtues and Lies series, I was impatiently waiting for what was next for Christopher and Arabella after that devastatingly heartbreaking and tragic cliffhanger that left us all reeling.

    Scorch hit my kindle and I couldn’t wait to dive in.

    Scorch starts with a look at Christopher and Arabella as they tie the knot and continuing through to where Burn ended with the devastated couple grieving their loss and the breakdown of their relationship. With Christopher determined to win back his wife and seeking vengeance for all his family has suffered, the drama unfolds with more secrets, whispers and untruths weaved into the story and slowly uncovers more of the bigger web of lies that is the plot for this series.

    Arabella’s torturing herself and blaming herself for their loss, believing she must push Christopher away in order to protect him and make right what has gone wrong. To the detriment of her own happiness she is determined to suffer and push him away regardless of how much she loves him.

    The story shows their journey as they navigate through their grief and loss and how they fight the love they feel for each other. Filled with suspense, this book is an emotional rollercoaster which had me blubbering throughout. The anguish and heartache are palpable. My emotions were wrung dry, but the story was worth every tear. Christopher and Arabella have a love that is beyond words and Alexandra’s poetic storytelling skills had me desperate for them to ne together again.

    As a reader I could feel their love oozing from the page and I loved every second of their story.

    Once again Alexandra has blown me away and left me hanging, chomping at the bit for Casper’s story. An amazing 5star must read! Congratulations Alexandra Silva – my favourite in the series so far!
