Heart of Crimson: A Dark Paranormal Romance (Curse of the Guardians Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Taylor Aston White (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 369 ratings
He'll do anything to stop her... and she'll do anything to survive.

Titus is just trying to control his new power without losing himself to the darkness. Already cursed, and now suffering with noxious black magic, he believes his luck couldn't get any worse.

Until an assassin appears, ready to end his life. He never expected such an infuriating woman, and now he's not sure what to do. Kill her before she can kill him, or give in to the intense desire that proves bad luck comes in threes.

Rae is prepared for a typical hit. But when she can't seem to eliminate her target, she quickly realises that it wasn't only Titus who has a price on his head.

Forced to work together, or risk both their lives, Titus and Rae must unravel the mystery of who hired the hits, all while fighting against a dangerous attraction that's a frustration to them both.

Can they trust each other to survive long enough to discover who wants them dead?

Or will they end up killing each other instead?

    This is the forth book in Taylor’s Guardians series and after reading Axel and Sam’s story I was eagerly waiting for Axel’s cousin’s story. I have truly enjoyed the last three books and absolutely loving the characters and world that she has created. I was excited to dive into Titus’s life and continue to learn more about the Guardians. Titus is struggling with his beast and the black magic polluting his body when he learns he has a contract on his head. Rae is fighting for her freedom and the only way to gain it is to become a contract killer. When the two paths cross one must die for the other to live. Forced to work together in order to stay alive. The chemistry between the two is🥵 I finished this book in a day as I was sucked into the their story, full of unexpected turn of events and of course hot sex made it hard to put down. I look forward to seeing what Taylor comes up with next for the Guardians.

    Rae is epic and I love how strong FMC she is! So excited to see how she worked with the other mates of the guys! It’s so fun to see all these new people come into this awesome found family!

    Titus is wheewww quite the steamy read! His story was one I was excited about after reading Axel’s and Taylor did not disappoint!

    The only reason I took away a star was because their relationship moved a little quicker than the slower burns from the 3 previous books but it didn’t detract from the story it’s just a personal preference of mine!

    Loved that we got a human as a mate as well thought that was fun as well and seeing how a human deals with the supernatural in this verse. Even if we did get a little look in Alice’s story I thought it was nice to see it from an actual human’s pov. ALSO SO OBSESSED THAT TAYLOR MADE RAE BA even though she was a human. It never made her lesser in the story and I loved that about this story. Showing the strength and power Rae still had even though she was a human. Loved how Taylor weaved that into the story.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2023

    I just finished, and I already wish there was more for me to read from Rae and Titus because I’m absolutely obsessed. Taylor Aston White instantly became one of my favorite authors since I stumbled upon her instagram and read the first installment in the Curse of the Guardians series.

    The author writes in third-person (which is my favorite, and doesn’t feel repetitive as first-person), and there’s dual povs between the FMC and the MMC. This book is also an enemies to lovers with the FMC being a contracted assassin, and oh man, if you liked Kyra and Eva, you’re going to absolutely love Rae. I love that these women are not letting these men rest at all, or get away with anything. But most importantly, I love how much Rae is constantly fighting herself when it comes to Titus. No matter what, despite her being an assassin and totally kicking ass, she has a wicked sense of humor and absolutely refused to back down from anything, and for anyone.

    Titus is deliciously steamy, intense, and rivals Rae’s fire with one of his own. They crack me up, because both of them are not only fighting each other, but also fighting themselves. The amount of crap that goes down in this book is endless and there’s a lot of unpack, especially when they’re both so terribly and amusingly stubborn about everything. But I loved it. I loved every page, every detail, and all the banter between everybody.

    Lastly, there is another layer between Titus and Rae that separates them from the others, but it fits them so well. Titus loved to exercise control over everything, and Rae likes to teeter back and forth between fighting his need for control, or succumbing to it. Ugh, Titus made me blush in public far too many times, I should’ve known better but it was a lovely surprise how freaky he is. ❤️ I know this book just got released, but I can’t wait for whoever we’re going to read next! :)

    I will be the first to admit I did not read the previous books but….. this kinda read like it be able to standalone.

    Honestly I liked the character and even the paranormal side. Assassins are fun and I only wish the fmc was blood thirstier and more mayhem and bodies dropping.

    I don’t know if what kind of beast the mmc turns into was answered in previous books but the fmc never questioned it and never asked questions. Like as readers we could have gotten an explanation without having to read other character stories if we don’t want too.

    But this was a fun, get out of a slump read.

    I have burned through this series in a week, and they just keep getting better!! I love how the plots intertwine between books, keeping everything cohesive. The same goes for the dual POV, overlapping them slightly makes the flow so much better.

    I CANNOT wait for the next in the series!! Keep them coming Taylor!

    4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5☆ Titus and Rae
    Reviewed in Australia on May 25, 2023

    I didn't think I'd love anyone more than Xander but then Titus came in and stole the show 😍 I love both he and Rae their sizzling chemistry had me blushing all the way through. Rae is now one of my fav book heroines who doesn't love a bada$$ chick who can do her own dirty work but still submit where needed 😜😉 Titus is the perfect dom that every girl needs in their life and I loved their back and forth banter haha

    Signed to a life killing in order to save her brother Ray's life belongs to the guild she signed her life to in blood. 100 kills before she's free her latest assignment marks number 13 but this might be her hardest target yet when he doesn't stay dead. Titus is one of the Guardians but being forced through the rite a second time is taking it's toll as he struggles to with the black magic invading his chi and made even worse when someone attempts to kill him. What he doesn't expect is the feisty red head to be the assassin in question but all of a sudden they're forced together when Rae finds herself being hunted too. Titus needs Rae to find out who put the mark on him and Rae needs him to stay alive long enough to find out why she's being hunted at all when her assignment is still active. But when Titus' beast chooses Rae as his mate, he finally realizes they need each other even more because now he wants her alive more than dead. When they finally track down who put the hit out on her betrayal will burn her to her core and they'll have to work together to weed out the corruption in the systems meant to keep everyone safe. Titus may have just found his match beacuse his little rae of sunshine can handle herself just fine but he'll remind her she doesn't need to go it alone anymore....

    Perfect blend of action, strong story line and romance (with a bit of a hard edge in this book, but completely consensual). This is a very good series, with interesting, flawed characters, and very strong females.
