Review:
To say I was excited about this story would be an understatement of epic proportions. I have been waiting for The Villain the minute I was finished with The Hunter.
Wait, that’s a lie actually. I’ve been waiting for this book the moment I was introduced to Cillian Fitzpatrick. I knew I wanted to know what was going on in his devious mind, and I wanted someone to bring him to his knees. Now who would be the one to do that? There was a virtual war going on in the reader groups about which Penrose sister he was going to end up with. I know many people were devastated when he didn’t end up with the one of his choice, and that is understandable. I didn’t have a particular preference, to be honest. I trusted the author’s opinion and I knew Leigh would take the story where she wanted to.
She gave him the best person for him. I won’t tell you who, because that isn’t even important. Usually its the female characters that drive the story for me, and yes the heroine was kind and smart and amazing like most book babes are. But for me, you know who took the cake? It was Cillian.
He was everything I wanted to be and more. He was conflicted, in pain, kind, but at the same time an asshole of epic proportions. The story was what kept me reading. The characters were not caricatures, they were like actual people. The Villain furthered my interest in Sam Brennan, and I think I will die if I don’t get his story soon. I loved the family dynamic between the Fitzpatricks. I loved the relationship between Cillian and his lady love, they were equal partners. One thing that I would have changed would have been the sex scenes. I felt like there could have been more, heheh. But maybe I’m just a horn dog, lmao. I really enjoy Leigh’s books, I mean how can I not? She writes hot guys and girls who love each other and orgasm all the time, lol. But I didn’t read The Villain for the hot guy and girl, I read it for the story and it stuck to me for the story.
This book deserves five stars and more!!! Now give me that next book...
