ABOUT AUTHOR:

REVIEW:
The book is the modern retelling of the famous Les Miserables. Valjean, an ex-convict struggling to connect with the society after a long prison sentence for doing the right thing in the wrong way. Years later, Valjean met the person who arrested him in the past and they both met in an unexpected way and it took a dark turn when Javert became a wanted man for murder and Valjean captured him.

The story was believable and heartwarming. This is the first book that I have read by Camilla Harlowe. I enjoyed her writing style. The characters were interesting and engaging, the plot moved along quickly enough that it never really felt bogged down in descriptions or drama.
"𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭. 𝐀 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐢𝐭."
The only downfall is that, I want more! I want to see certain events such as Valjean's interaction with Cosette and also with some of his family members in the beginning. I just want more time with these characters. And oh boy, these two are on fire, their sexual chemistry is so good. There's so much more than just that though and I loved how their relationship developed slowly. I enjoyed the plot. There were interesting twists to keep the readers on their toes.
