Defiant: an enemies-to-lovers standalone (Wicked Hearts) Kindle Edition

by Sara Cate (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 762 ratings

She hates me.

And for good reason.

I put her brother away ten years ago. But it’s up to me to keep Wicked Beach safe.

Suddenly, there’s a new dealer on the beach, and getting close to Shelby could get me the answers I need.

But it’s becoming a lot harder to hate her when she’s tearing my walls down.

Because Shelby knows my secret.

I need her, but this girl knows how to put up a fight.

Warning: Defiant deals with issues of child abuse and assault. It is the third installment in the Wicked Hearts series, although each book could be read as a standalone. It wouldn’t be a Sara Cate book without tons of angst and a hate-to-love-him alpha-virgin and a feisty heroine ready to show him the ropes, literally. Welcome back to Wicked Beach!

    Defiant is the third book in the Wicked Hearts series. This is an enemies to lover story and the chemistry between Shelby and Rafe was off the charts. It is also about second chances. Defiant will give you all the emotions suspense, romance, betrayal and a whole heap more. The story line is well written and I enjoyed seeing the other characters from past books show their faces in this one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully breathtaking journey!

    Holy heck! Why did I wait so long to read Rafe & Shelby's journey. Their hurt, pain, love & passion mesmerised me and is a beautiful journey i didn't realise i needed. But HOLY HELL Rafe is something else and i defo need his fire in my life!🥵

    Rafe is a strong gorgeous alpha lead with a troubled and tortured past that he struggles to let go and deal with. His past has you clutching your heart & begging him to believe he's not s tortured soul. I definitely connected with Rafe and want to dive and give him a hug!

    Shelby has a big nuturing heart who has never let go her past with her twin brother & Rafe from 10 years ago. Shelby wants to support & help Rafe heal and move forward. But that's never straightforward... Shelby grows in her character and i LOVE the fire in her & her strength to believe and put herself first!

    Seeing Ezra, Shelby & Rafe growing as people and reflecting was captured perfectly. The growth of all 3 them have completed my heart!

    This stand alone is beautifully breath-taking and will leave you swooning and that ending has my smiling like a chimpanzee!!

    Thank you Sara Cate for this incredible journey & i will diving into the others in this series!!

    Defiant is the third book in the Wicked Hearts series. Enemies-to-lovers stand-alone has angst, drama and plenty of steam. Rafe and Shelby come face to face again after 10 years. Shocked to see each other, they try to hold on to the hate from their past, but as time goes on they can’t fight attraction. Shelby tries to help Rafe with his past trauma and their connection continues to grow until Ezra, Shelby’s brother, gets in the way. Can they heal themselves and find love or will they go down fighting? Really enjoyed their story.

    Defiant is an exceptional enemies to lovers story of self-discovery, real life emotions and redemption. Its raw intensity took my breath away. Rafe and Shelby!!!!! - the character development and chemistry between them was on fire!!

    With their narration, Aiden Snow and Kelley Huston made this book come to life. I cannot count how many times I held my breath, waiting for the next chapter. They truly enhanced this books experience. I was blessed to receive an Advanced Listener Copy (ALC) and am enthusiastically leaving an honest review.

    This final book in the series has the most mysterious male main character. It's great to get to know the broken man behind the aloof facade, and the only woman truly meant for him.
