Naked Hearts by ValentinaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Trigger Warnings: extreme violence, assault, rape, suicide, depression, anxiety attacks This book was wow. Truly wow. I mean it was so realistic in portraying feelings of after being raped, and how victims deal with the trauma everyday - it's definitely not easy. Plus it's so hard to console your family, tell yourself you're okay, even though you're not. Definitely not easy being a rape victim. But Lorenzo and her sister, and her family was so caring and loving, and understanding about her circumstances. Though yes, there were difficult situations at times, still I saluted all of them for the way they handled it all. The writing was as smooth as can be, the characters were complex psychologically impossible to crack - stimulated my brain immensely, and just the emotional understanding, and epic steamy scenes were something I looked forward to so much. PLus the characters - both had gone through a lot of problems and heartache, but how they are there for each other made me swoon for them so much and break heart t00 - because they were just so surreal to me and everything. I look forward to another novel by Valentina soon. And I can because Mignon - Lorenzo's friend, has her story coming in 2022. So yes, some excitement there for sure. I can't wait.
