A review by karentje
The Black Sheep and The Rotten Apple by K.A. Merikan
5.0
I was utterly blown away by this historical romance! K.A. Merikan did such an amazing job with this story. The setting of the book, the historical details, the suspense, to say nothing of characters themselves… it was everything I could have hoped for.
Evan is the perfect brooding, volatile, dangerous hero, haunted by his past and seemingly condemned to a life of lonely unhappiness because of his inheritance and the harsh laws of the times. Nothing could have prepared him for Julian, seemingly gentle and well-spoken, but with his own set of skewed morals, and a whole lot left to learn about his own nature and desires. I loved the push and pull between Evan and Julian, their near-violent passion as well as the alluring sweetness when they come together.
This book is not for the faint of heart, with danger coming at Evan and Julian at an unrelenting pace. The suspense and action scenes were fast-paced and incredibly well-written, thrilling but oh so bad for my blood pressure.
