Sweet Solitude (King's Trace Antiheroes Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,386 ratings

From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes a steamy and twisted love story between two humans haunted by their pasts.

In the wake of her father’s death, lonely Juliet Harrison struggles with the guilt over her loss. She deals with it the way she deals with everything: by burying her feelings beneath impulsive decisions and desecrating the local graveyard. But Juliet isn’t as invisible as she believes.

Hiding out from the ghosts of his past, Kieran Ivers is known in King’s Trace as a homicidal hermit. But the rumors don’t stop him from visiting the cemetery to taunt his late brother’s remains.

It’s there he first spots a woman engaging in lascivious acts on her father’s grave, and becomes enraptured by the darkness surrounding her. When she leaves behind a necklace, Kieran finds and keeps it until he can score a meeting with the mysterious siren.

He doesn’t know she’s the sister-in-law of his rival, or that she is drowning in her sadness. Nor does he care.

Once he’s decided what he wants, he’ll stop at nothing to get her.

*Sweet Solitude is the second interconnected standalone in the King's Trace Antiheroes series, a dark romance trilogy revolving around a corrupt small town in Maine. Reader discretion is advised. For all content warnings, please see the author's website.*

    Review is for rereleased/new cover version that includes minor changes and bonus content available February 9, 2023!!!

    I don't know what I was expecting from Juliet and Kieran but holy hell did Sav deliver and exceed expectations. Juliet's war within herself about the way she was raised by her parents, learning about what her father was doing to her sister, and adjusting to the aftermath of everything from Sweet Surrender was so relatable. Having conflicting feelings about situations and feelings is normal and I LOVED having this reflected in this book. I am so happy that this is the direction Sav took with Juliet instead of Juliet not being affected by it. Juliet's inner dialogue and her escapism with using sex to feel/distract from dealing with all the negativity in her life made her feel so real.

    Kieran. I don't think I've wanted to hug a mmc more than I wanted to reach in and hug this man. Yes he's a finisher, yes he's dangerous, and yes I'd let him ravish me in the alley. Men written by Sav is an addiction I don't want treated. Dealing with so much because of his brother, family ties, working for the Mantaltos and the Irish mafia, this man was broken. We were thrown into his skeletons right at the beginning and to say I was hooked immediately is an understatement. I was roped in at the PROLOGUE! He was intense and when he laid eyes on Juliet, I couldn't wait for the ride. The banter and the spice between them was perfect. I think going in blind to experience Kieran is the best way to experience him.

    Kieran was definitely drool worthy but personally Juliet had my attention the most and it's so hard for an FMC to capture me this way.

    I HIGHLY recommend reading these books in order for an enhanced experience and to fully understand the plot. They are interconnected standalones, however I believe they should be read in order.

    If you're new to the King's Trace world, I do suggest waiting to read the Sweet Solitude bonus chapter until you've read Sweet Sacrifice (next in the series) as there are some spoilers for Sweet Sacrifice.

  • Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2021
    I love when I read a book where the antihero is doing something to end unjust/inhumane business, and that’s one of the many underlying themes of this book.

    The prologue begins with Kieran‘s perspective, and he’s listening/watching Juliet desecrating her father’s tombstone with another man (yup- you know how😬). She often goes there and does this, and he always enjoys watching and hearing her do it 😅😬. This is Juliet’s way of seeking revenge for the wrongdoings of her father, which happened in book one. The things that her father did and was involved in was sickening, and Juliet’s constantly battling the death of her father and the abandonment of her mother.

    Juliet dropped out of school, without telling her older sister, and is unsure of what to do with her life. She goes to a charity event, a masquerade, and suddenly feels the urge to throw up- which is when she encounters Kieran for the first time, with another woman 😒🙄. She doesn’t immediately leave, and then realizes that he’s bigger than her in every way and can easily overpower her. Kieran’s part of Ivers International, a massive cybersecurity empire that’s a front for their dealings in crime organizations- and this dangerous man (nicknamed Doctor Death) has her locket- the locket she treasures, and she wants it back. In order for her to get it, she’s gonna have to do whatever he wants, and he has no qualms about getting what he wants from her 😈.

    What I liked: possible SPOILERS
    -The chemistry between Juliet and Kieran. Oh… dear Lord 🔥🥵 these two have a visceral/PRIMAL connection. It might’ve started on Kieran’s part before (since he’s watched her with OM), but once they’re in the same room, holy hell 😅. Kieran wants what he wants, and he’ll do any kind of convincing to get it 🔥🥵 with or without permission 😬. The smexxxy scenes are explosive and diiiirty 💦😉. Although we see Kieran with OW early, once they begin their relationship, he only wants Juliet.

    -the smexxxy threats Kieran makes. She’s his and no one else’s- unless she wants the other man to die 🤷🏻‍♀️ he’s nicknamed Doctor Death for a reason; don’t tempt him. He gives no Fs. J/P ness 👏🏻💁🏻‍♀️.

    -what Kieran does behind the scenes. Trafficking is horrible, and I don’t mind the torture for those at fault 💅. Blood may be thicker than water, but it means nothing if you’re part of this horrible crime. He’s a “bad” guy, but I didn’t see him as one 🤷🏻‍♀️. He has a soft heart for a lot of things.

    -the sense of family unity-Juliet has a loving sister and brother-in-law and Kieran has his family as well. Both have close friends. I love how her BIL pushes her to define her future ❤️

    -although this is book 2, we get enough information from book one to understand what’s going on. I won’t ever read it since there’s cheating in that one, so I appreciate that I got all the backstory needed.

    -their love develops over many months- it’s not instant

    -the angst: I always appreciate when we feel what the characters are going through, and the author’s writing was well done.

    -the twist 🤯

    -he calls her KITTEN 🥰and there’s praise kink 😉

    What I didn’t like/needed more:
    -the OW scene. *Sigh* why is it always an OW on her knees? 🤦🏻‍♀️ at least we see Juliet with two OM 🤷🏻‍♀️that’s what allowed me to continue

    -the time jumps- it was hard to keep track, but I appreciate pages not being filled with useless information

    -the 🍑 to 🐱 scene 😳😳😳 in that order. It was cringy, but not horrible

    Overall, I enjoyed it despite all the stuff listed in the ⚠️

    ⚠️safety squad⚠️
    -no cheating/sharing
    -noncon/dubcon
    -dark/violence/torture
    -OM: the h is with 2 OM. The H watches both times 😬. The second time is after they meet
    -OW: she’s on her kn££s. The h goes into the bathroom to throw up and walks in on them- she doesn’t leave 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️
    -praise k!nk/breath play/sp@nking/voyeur/exhibitionism
    -light d@ddy k!nk
    -breath play
    -the h is s€xu@llu assaulted/almost r@p€d by a man- the H takes care of him 💅
    -no c@nd@ms- and the h has been with 2 OM 😬. They don’t really talk about being clean, but come on🙈. Neither have been celibate and her being on the pill doesn’t mean clean.

    Sweet mother of Mary... who has the holy water because I need a bucket load after reading this!! I know it’s the 1st of Jan but I think Kieran Ivers might just be my top book boyfriend of the year, I just don’t see how anyone will top him?!

    True to his dark and depraved self throughout the whole book, Kieran shows us why Juliet, so affectionately, refers to him as the Devil. He is trying to fill in his brothers shadow and fix the mess he created, covering up the truth before it ruins the family reputation. Even though Kieran is a dark soul, he would do anything to protect the ones he loves.

    Juliet has some incredible character progression in this book. She starts off as a mess, literally a mess, she is spiralling and can’t find a way to feel anything. Until she meets the monster with green eyes. She doesn’t know what she needs until Kieran can show her...

    .... and boyyyyy do I want Daddy Kieran to show me too!

    Sav R. Miller knows how to write a storyline. She knows how to write off-the-charts, sweat-forming-on-your-forehead, I-need-a-cold-shower steam even more!!!!

    Bring on Boyd’s book! Although I can’t see him stealing Daddy Kierans top spot for me!!
